Spy Game : The Love Edition
Their first target? The living room.
It was the perfect spot. They knew that Joshua always waited up late for Scoups to come home after long schedules.
So late at night, the Seventeen dorm was cloaked in silence, except for the soft murmur of a movie playing in the living room. Joshua sat curled up on the couch with a blanket draped over his lap, occasionally glancing toward the front door. It was his nightly routine—to stay up waiting for Scoups to return from his late-night schedules. Tonight, though, he wasn’t entirely alone.
Up on the staircase, crouched and barely containing their excitement, were Hoshi, Dino, DK,The8, Jun and Woozi. They exchanged eager glances, grinning at the scene unfolding below. A little farther away, hiding behind the kitchen counter, were Seungkwan,Vernon Jeonghan, wonwoo and Mingyu, whispering back and forth as they peeked around the corner, trying to catch a glimpse of Joshua’s expectant gaze.
Mingyu
(shifting his weight as he tried to get a better view) Are you sure he won’t see us?
Seungkwan
(hissed waving his hand at Mingyu) They’ll definitely catch us if you don’t stay still.
Woozi, from the stairs, gave them a quick glare
Woozi
Stop moving around, or you’ll blow our cover.
Just then, the sound of keys turning in the lock caught everyone’s attention, and the hidden members immediately went silent, all eyes darting to the door. Joshua perked up, his expression brightening as the door opened and Scoups stepped inside. Scoups looked tired, but the second his eyes met Joshua’s, he visibly relaxed, a gentle smile spreading across his face.
Joshua got up from the couch, his arms instinctively wrapping around Scoups in a soft, welcoming hug
Joshua
(quit warm voice) Welcome home
S coups
(chuckles embracing back)Thanks for waiting up for me
From their hiding spots, the members watched as Scoups pulled back slightly, lifting his hand to gently brush a stray lock of hair from Joshua’s face. Then, in a soft, unhurried motion, he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to Joshua’s forehead, letting his lips linger for a moment. Joshua’s cheeks turned pink, and he gave a shy smile, looking down before meeting Scoups ’s eyes again.
Seungkwan, hiding in the kitchen, gasped quietly and clapped a hand over his mouth. Jeonghan grinned, nudging him.
Seungkwan
I told you they were cute
Up on the stairs, Hoshi was practically bouncing with excitement, barely able to contain his squeal.
Hoshi
(whispering) Did you see that?
Dino
(nodded eyes wide) It’s like a drama!
DK
(nodded with excitement)
Scoups settled onto the couch, pulling Joshua down beside him, and they cuddled up together, Joshua’s head resting on S.Coups ’s shoulder. They talked quietly, but none of the other members could hear what they were saying. The only thing that mattered to them was the way Joshua’s face softened as he gazed up at S.Coups, and the way S.Coups ’s arm wrapped protectively around him.
Before long, Joshua’s eyes began to droop, the warmth and comfort of S.Coups ’s embrace making him drowsy. The hidden members watched as he eventually drifted off to sleep, his head resting comfortably against S.Coups ’s chest. Scoups, noticing this, glanced down at Joshua’s peaceful face, smiling softly.
Vernon
Look at him I didn’t know Scoups hyung could be this soft.
Seungkwan
Right? He’s practically a teddy bear with Shua hyung
Seungkwan
(Whispering leaning againsta counter to get a better view)I can’t believe how cute they are
As Scoups carefully adjusted Joshua’s position, slipping his arms beneath him, he slowly lifted him in a gentle, bridal style. Joshua instinctively curled closer, snuggling against S.Coups ’s chest. With Joshua nestled in his arms, Scoups stood up, glancing around to make sure he wouldn’t disturb anyone on his way to Joshua’s room.
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t realize eleven pairs of eyes were tracking his every move.
The members hiding on the stairs practically scrambled, half-stumbling as they darted toward their rooms. Woozi barely managed to pull Dino along in time, trying to suppress his laughter. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Jeonghan waved the others to hurry, and they all ducked low, tiptoeing around the corner and dashing up the hall, their hearts pounding with the thrill of not getting caught.
Just as scoups passed by the staircase with Joshua in his arms, Hoshi, DK and the others managed to disappear into their rooms, diving into their beds and pulling up their blankets. They all lay still, struggling to keep their giggles at bay, until they heard Scoups ’s door click shut behind him. Only then did they peek out of their blankets, exchanging silent, wide-eyed looks of excitement.
Gathering once again downstairs, the group huddled together, giddy from their success
Mingyu
(chuckled shaking his head)He was so sweet with him. I can’t believe we never noticed this before.
Vernon
Thought they were just really good friends, but seeing that… well, that was definitely something else.
Jeonghan
(sly smile)Did you see how gentle he was with Shua? It’s like he’s been hiding this whole romantic side.
DK
(nodded and eyes sparkling) And they were completely professional at the shoot earlier, like nothing was going on. They’re good at hiding it.
THE8
That’s probably why we didn’t catch on sooner
Wonwoo
They know how to keep things professional
Seungkwan
Well, now that we know, it’s not like we can just pretend we didn’t see that. I say we keep a close watch on them tomorrow, too. See if they slip up again.
The others nodded eagerly, sharing ideas for how to sneakily observe S.Coups and Joshua without being obvious. By the time they finally dispersed for the night, they were brimming with excitement, each of them grinning at the thought of teasing their unsuspecting leaders. They’d let them rest tonight, but tomorrow, there was no way S.Coups and Joshua would escape their prying eyes.
Throughout the week, a few rare moments fueled the members' suspicions about Scoups and Joshua. Between rigorous schedules, they occasionally caught glimpses of the two sharing lunch in a quieter corner of the set. One day, Joshua leaned in closer, laughter mingling with Scoups as he offered him a bite of kimchi fried rice. Joshua's sparkling eyes hinted at something more than friendship
Another time, during a break, Mingyu watched as Scoups brushed a crumb from Joshua’s cheek. The intimate gesture sparked a flurry of giggles among the hidden members, and Joshua’s flushed face only added to their excitement. Later, during a chaotic rehearsal, Scoups stole a piece of Joshua’s tteokbokki, prompting a mock glare from Joshua that quickly turned into a grin, creating an electric dynamic that drew the members in.
Despite these moments, the two remained professional, slipping back into their roles whenever needed. The other members grew increasingly frustrated; they had hoped for more overt signs of affection but were left only with tantalizing glimpses.
Finally, by the end of that packed week, the group gathered in the dorm, anticipation thick in the air as they hoped for another late-night living room scene that might reveal the truth they had been waiting to see.
