Yunki my babies <3 

Jake and Ni-ki – or Riki, as his actual name goes – that's what Jake always called him.

They were the ultimate dynamic duo in Enhypen, the closest pair among them all.

Best friends.

Simply put just, best friends.

But what if one of them started feeling something more for the other?

That's the situation Jake found himself in.

He couldn't quite fathom how he developed such feelings for someone younger.

But one thing was crystal clear – he knew exactly when he realized his love for Riki.

Back in 2023, nearly 10 months ago, ENHYPEN dropped their album "DARK BLOOD," fully embracing their vampire concept.

Riki was the last to have his set filmed, leaving him as the final one to get ready.

Jake couldn't resist teasing the younger member, especially after enduring his fair share of teasing.

Riki playfully poked fun at Jake, predicting how fans and netizens would swoon over him due to his lip ring. Jake, naturally, disagreed.

"ENGENES are gonna go wild over that lip ring," Riki teased, leaning in closer to Jake.

Too close for comfort, Jake felt like he might spontaneously combust from how captivating Riki looked, even without wearing his set outfit.

"Riki! Get a move on," Jungwon bellowed, prompting Riki to nod, mainly to himself.

"Bye, hyungie," Riki chirped before darting off to the wardrobe fitting.

"That kid," Jake murmured, a fond smile playing on his lips.

♡♡♡

"What's taking Riki so long?" Heeseung questioned, finally settling down after wrapping up his shot.

"Jake, go check on him, please," Jay muttered, dabbing his face with a towel to wipe off the sweat.

"What? Why me?" Jake protested, setting his phone aside.

"Because Riki is the nicest to you," Jay deadpanned, while Jake retorted, "Sunoo and Jungwon are around too." 

"Hyung," Jungwon interjected, sipping from his water bottle.

Jake sighed, rising from his seat and making his way towards the wardrobe area.

♡♡♡

Jake knocked softly on Riki's dressing room door, his voice barely above a whisper, "Riki?"

Silence.

"Riki-san?" Jake inquired with a gentle tone, knowing the significance of that nickname to Riki; it was something he always called him.

The door creaked open, revealing Riki on the other side, cheeks flushed a deep crimson.

Jake's eyes widened as he took in the sight before him.

Riki was wearing a corset.

Oh, fuck... a corset!

Jake found himself staring  his gaze lingering on Riki's waist for an uncomfortably long moment.

"Jakey-hyung?" Riki's soft voice snapped Jake out of his daze.

Shit.

Right, he was here to check on why Riki was taking so long for the photoshoot.

"Um... Are you ready for your... um... photoshoot?" Jake stammered, his words coming out in a jumble, while Riki raised an eyebrow in response, simply nodding in affirmation.

Shit.

Why was he stuttering?

"Y-Yeah..." Riki whispered, avoiding Jake's gaze as he glanced down at his feet before swiftly walking away.

But Jake's eyes remained fixated on Riki's waist.

Riki's small waist.

His tiny, delicate waist.

Jake imagined his hands wrapping perfectly around it.

Fuck.

He yearned to hold Riki's waist.

What were these thoughts?

Butterflies fluttered in his stomach...

"Jake!" Sunoo's voice pierced through his reverie, snapping Jake out of his thoughts.

Thoughts of how stunningly perfect Riki was, and how unbelievably small his waist appeared to be.

But now wasn't the time to dwell on such thoughts.

"Coming!" Jake shouted, racing towards the location of the photoshoot, pushing aside his conflicting emotions for now.

♡♡♡

Jake sat mesmerized as he observed Riki during the photoshoot.

He looked ethereal, but Jake's attention fixated on one thing.

Riki's waist.

God, it was playing tricks on Jake's mind.

Then, Riki stretched his body...

Could his waist possibly get any smaller?

The answer was a resounding yes.

Jake felt his grip tighten on the water bottle he was holding.

Oh god.

It felt like some sort of awakening inside Jake.

"Oh my fucking god..." Jake muttered to himself, sitting up straight.

He knew he needed to confess his feelings to Riki.

♡♡♡

At the end of the photoshoot, Riki grabbed a cloth and headed towards his dressing room.

Inside, he found Jake waiting for him.

"Jakey-hyung?" Riki mumbled in surprise as he entered the room.

"I... Riki, we need to talk," Jake mumbled, adjusting his clothes as he stood up.

Riki's eyebrows furrowed as he stared at Jake.

"Yeah?" Riki replied softly, setting down the cloth he was holding and leaning against the counter.

Jake approached Riki, leaning in closer to his face.

Riki's cheeks flushed crimson.

"J-Jakey..." Riki stuttered, unable to finish his sentence.

Jake wrapped his arms around Riki's waist, still adorned with the corset.

"God... You're so small, Riki-san," Jake murmured, his warm breath brushing against Riki's face.

Riki gazed up at him, blushing furiously.

"I-I'm taller than you, Jake-hyun—" Riki started, but Jake swiftly cut him off.

"No, that's not what I meant... your... waist," Jake murmured, gently cupping Riki's chin with one hand.

"My waist?" Riki asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"God... Riki-san, you're so cute," Jake mumbled, a smirk playing on his lips, causing Riki's face to flush even redder.

"What?" Riki asked, shocked by Jake's sudden smirk.

He was teasing him.

How fucking dare he?

Riki was not cute.

"I... I like you... no, I love you," Jake declared confidently, observing as Riki's face turned various shades of pink and red, overwhelmed with fluster.

"L-Love me?" Riki stammered, his eyes fixed on Jake's face, which bore a mischievous smirk, reveling in Riki's flustered state.

Jake took a deep breath. "Yeah," he mumbled, his gaze filled with anticipation as he awaited Riki's response.

"D-Do you like me?" Jake asked, leaning in closer, his desire evident as he yearned to kiss Riki's plump lips.

God, he wanted to kiss him so badly.

"I-... Yes. I love you," Riki mumbled, averting his gaze from Jake, a mix of embarrassment and fluster overwhelming him. Jake's hand remained firmly on his waist, his thumb lightly grazing Riki's lips, intensifying his desire.

Riki couldn't resist any longer. Leaning in, he softly pecked Jake's lips.

"Love you, Jakey-hyung," Riki whispered, a cute, boxy smile gracing his lips before darting out of the dressing room.

"What- Riki!" Jake chuckled, his heart racing with excitement as he chased after the younger boy.

Yeah... maybe confessing to Riki was a good idea after all <3
