Timeline: February 01, 2021

Monday morning of the first day of love month. SEVENTEEN had their rare day off–meaning all of them were either sleeping all day, playing online games all day, or sightseeing.

On the other hand, our main lead, Scoups, had been staring at his room's ceiling ever since he woke up.

A few minutes later, he decided to get up and go to the bathroom to wash up. After freshening up, Scoups went to the living room and saw Dino, Mingyu, and Hoshi watching TV while eating cereal—Dino noticed Scoups’ reflection on the screen of the TV

“Oh hyung!” Dino said, munching his cereal. “Morning Coups-hyung.” Both Mingyu and Hoshi said.

Scoups grabbed some cereal and joined Dino, Mingyu, and Hoshi in the living room. The four of them were just watching some variety show–when their dorm’s door opened and Woozi and Seungkwan entered. 

“Dino-ya, wanna hang out?” Seungkwan asked as he and Woozi went closer to them.

“Nah,” Dino flatly said–Seungkwan did his iconic side-eye to Dino.

“Hyung?” Seungkwan said as he looked at the others.

“Nah”“Studio”“Gaming”“Gym”

All the hyungs who were present said. By that, Seungkwan sulked at them.

“Andwaee”

In HYBE’s gym room, Scoups is doing his daily(not?) exercise in HYBE.

Scoups are done conditioning himself. He went to the lifting area. He was about to lift a 5kg barbell when he saw Heyoung entering the room.

“Heyoung-ssi!” Scoups called her—Heyoung looked at her side and saw Scoups positioning himself.

“Oh Coup-ssi?” Heyoung said surprisedly. “I didn't know you were also doing your work out here?” She added.

“Well…it's free, and besides, I need to be fit for our next comeback.” Scoups said as he lifted the 5kg barbell. He also looked at Heyoung, who was staring at him as she joined Scoups' exercise.

“Flexing some guns, huh?” She said while looking at him lifting. “Staring at me again, huh?” Scoups smirked—making Heyoung look away from him.

“Maybe my charms are working now, Ms. Lee Heyoung?” He sexily said as he lifted another barbell.

“Maybe or maybe not, Mr. Choi Seungcheol.” She chuckled.

As time went by, both of them continued their workouts—helping one another.

=====

One hour later, Heyoung was about to leave when Scoups grabbed her wrist—making her stop from her track and looking at him confusedly.

“Nae, Coups-ssi?” She asked.

Scoups having second thoughts about whether he would ask her for lunch. “Wanna grab lunch with me?”

Scoups was having his inner thoughts battle when Heyoung didn't give her answer for a while. He was about to say never mind when Heyoung let out a cute laugh–making Scoups admire her for a second.

“Real smooth, Coups-ssi.” She chuckled. “Sure, let's grab some lunch. Before my working hour starts.” She added as she looked at her wristwatch.

Scoups smiled at her and dragged her towards the HYBE's cafeteria.

Later on, both of them found a seat and faced each other as they finished picking their food.

“Nae, Heyoung-ssi…” Scoups said as Heyoung tied her hair into a messy bun. “Let's ask each other some questions.”

They asked each other a lot of things, such as their favorite color, movies, food, etc. However, Scoups took a lot of courage before asking a specific question that made their conversation—tension but love?

“What's your ideal type?” Scoups asked. Heyoung slightly coughed before answering the question.

“Really? You're going to ask me that? HAHAHA.” Heyoung said surprisedly. “Come on, Heyoung-ssi, don't be shy.” Scoups said as he drank his drink while hiding his smirk.

Heyoung sighed, “Well…I want someone with a good heart and a strong aura but a cute side.” Before Scoups could tease her. “And someone with big biceps.” She shyly said.

Because of that, Scoups grinned while showing his biceps to Heyoung—he also kept on chanting(whispering) his charms.

“Aishh…stop teasing me.” She said while rolling her eyes. “I'm going to bring back the question to you, Choi Seungcheol.”

“That's easy, Lee Heyoung.” Scoups said as he leaned forward—making their gap close enough. Heyoung gulped because of the closeness that Scoups was doing.

Scoups lift Heyoung's chin, making their eyes contact. “It's you, Heyoung…you're my ideal type.”
