Today, all members of NCT WISH got a day off.
Right now, they are getting ready to head to a bowling place—they’re going to spend time playing there, while also filming content for their YouTube channel.
“Everyone, hurry up! The manager is already waiting downstairs!” Sion’s voice rang out.
Everyone quickly left their rooms and walked downstairs together, meeting their manager and starting their journey to the destination.

When they arrived at the bowling place, everyone immediately got busy preparing for the content. Even though today’s content was considered relaxed, they still had to pay attention to their appearance.
“Woah… Yushi, you look cool!” Ryo’s compliment filled the air.
Ryo sat in front of Yushi, who was still being fixed up by the staff. Not long after, Sion and Sakuya joined and sat on the sofa with Ryo.
“Ushi-ya, you look really pretty!” Sion exclaimed.
“Huh! Not bad,” Sakuya added with a nod.
Yushi scoffed lightly. After the stylist finished fixing his hair and face, he looked at himself in the mirror.
“Is it really not bad?” Yushi murmured.
“Pretty,” Sion answered quickly.
“Yushi looks cool!” Ryo added.
But Sakuya stayed silent, just staring at Yushi.
Yushi smiled faintly at the compliments directed at him. A little shy.

Filming begins.
Everyone sat on a long sofa facing the camera and staff. Near them was a dance game setup.
Sion explained what they would be doing, and so on.
The members were divided into two teams. This round would determine the leaders for each team who would later compete in bowling.
Team 1: Riku – Yushi – Ryo
Team 2: Jaehee – Sion – Sakuya
Both teams played the dance game. The two people with the highest scores would become team leaders.
The first team was won by Riku with the highest score, followed by Yushi, then Ryo.
“How am I the lowest?!” Ryo complained.
The second team played next. Jaehee unexpectedly won.
In the end, the chosen leaders were Riku and Jaehee.
They played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would pick members first.
“Yosshaa! Sion-hyung!” Riku, who won, immediately chose Sion.
Without waiting, Jaehee quickly pulled Yushi to his side.
Only the youngest were left—Sakuya and Ryo. Riku, who had the turn, whispered and discussed with Sion about the last member.
At that moment, Yushi was sitting on Sakuya’s lap, hugging him tightly—as if holding him back from joining Sion’s team.
“Sakuya!” Riku and Sion shouted in unison.
Sakuya was pulled over to them, leaving Ryo with Jaehee and Yushi.
Yushi sighed at how chaotic Riku’s team was—he needed extra patience for this game.
Finally, Jaehee, Yushi, and Ryo huddled together, while Riku, Sion, and Sakuya celebrated in their own world.
──୨ৎ────────୨ৎ───
The bowling match began after ordering food and warming up.
The first round started with Riku versus Yushi—both known to be good at bowling.
Riku immediately got a strike, while Yushi only scored 9 points.
Sion and Sakuya cheered loudly and didn’t waste the chance to tease Yushi. Yushi just smiled and sat back down, trying to ignore them.
The game continued. Through the match, Yushi sighed several times, holding himself back as Sion and Sakuya teamed up to tease him. Riku occasionally joined in.
Then it was Sion’s turn again. After seeing Yushi get a strike, Sion refused to lose—he kept calling Yushi to watch him.
Strike!
Sion succeeded! He jumped in excitement. Sakuya and Riku cheered as their team gained points.
Suddenly, Sion ran toward Yushi, roughly pushing him and trying to kiss him.
“Ushi-ya! Hyung did it, right? Hyung is amazing too, right!”
The camera captured everything clearly.
At the side, Sakuya froze. His face stiffened, brows furrowed.
When he noticed the camera still rolling and focused on them, he forced himself to adjust his expression and went back to teasing along.
Damn. That hit him.
The game continued, but Sakuya seemed quieter. He only occasionally responded to Sion’s teasing, trying to control the sudden mess of emotions.
Until Sion tried to kiss Yushi again.
And again.
And again.
Sakuya was sick of it. The urge to pull Sion away burned at the edge of his mind.
Just finish this before I lose control and drag him away.
Yushi being stuck to Sion made him lose focus—his throws started missing.
Riku and Sion sighed seeing their score.
Sakuya didn’t seem to play seriously anymore. Even when they told him to focus, he ignored them.
“Let me handle it. Just trust me,” Sakuya said.
His performance wasn’t bad—several strikes, 7–8 points—but somehow their score still fell behind.
In the end, Riku’s team lost.
Jaehee and Ryo cheered. Yushi just smiled and hugged them.
Meanwhile, Riku’s team sighed and encouraged each other—they had done their best.

at the dorm.
everyone looked satisfied—and of course, tired. they arrived around 08:00 pm, which meant there was still time to relax.
when yushi was seen entering his room, sakuya stopped the door before it could close and followed him inside, making yushi frown when he realized sakuya had come in after him.
“yushi… can we talk?” sakuya’s low voice was heard.
yushi frowned again. sakuya hadn’t even put down his things yet.
“what is it?” yushi placed his bag on the table and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at sakuya.
sakuya stayed silent. his hand let go of the bag he was holding, letting it fall to the floor. he stepped closer to yushi, then knelt in front of him, looking up at the man.
“yushi…” sakuya spoke again, his voice heavier this time.
“eum?”
“ushi onichan…” sakuya positioned himself between yushi’s thighs and rested his head on them, his arms wrapping around yushi’s waist.
“what’s wrong, hm?” yushi’s soft voice filled the air. his hand moved to stroke the hair resting on his thigh.
sakuya let out a low sound at the softness of yushi’s voice. he then looked up, meeting yushi’s gaze.
his eyes were glossy. his lips pouted. yushi frowned, panic creeping in when he saw sakuya looked like he was about to cry.
“what’s wrong? are you tired? does something hurt?” yushi cupped sakuya’s cheek, wiping away the tears.
“you almost kissed earlier.” Sakuya deliberately pressed the kissing words in a low voice.
“huh?”
yushi froze. sakuya’s words made him go silent, trying to process what was happening.
“you! you almost kissed sion hyung in front of everyone!” sakuya raised his voice slightly.
he stood up in front of yushi. tears were still falling, but his face hardened, his eyes sharpening.
sakuya touched yushi’s cheek. “he must’ve touched here…”
then his hand traced down yushi’s jaw to the side of his neck. “and here too…”
his eyes scanned every part of yushi’s face, his fingers moving along each corner—until they stopped right at yushi’s lower lip. his thumb pressed against it.
“did he touch here, onichan?”
the tears had stopped at some point. the soft expression from earlier was gone—his face now looked cold, flat.
yushi swallowed and shook his head.
sakuya smiled faintly, slightly relieved by that confirmation.
then—
knock! knock!
“ushi-ya! it’s sion hyung, we’re going to buy dinner, do you want to come?” sion’s voice came from outside the door.
yushi immediately glanced at the door, then looked back at sakuya as he was still being held in place.
“saku… let go for a moment, okay? sion hyung is outside” yushi coaxed softly.
instead of letting go, sakuya pushed yushi down onto the bed and immediately pinned him, crashing their lips together. both of yushi’s hands were held down at his sides.
sakuya’s lips pressed against yushi’s carefully—deep, lingering. slowly, he moved his lips, beginning to work against yushi’s.
yushi was clearly startled. his hands tried to resist, but he weakened again when he felt the way sakuya moved against his lips.
their eyes were tightly shut, their lips moving against each other, pressing and claiming.
knock! knock! knock! knock!
“yushi?? are you okay?!” sion called out again, this time his tone sounded worried. he even tried to turn the doorknob—which had been locked by sakuya from the beginning.
yushi opened his eyes when he realized sion was still outside. he felt sakuya’s grip loosen and took the chance to push his shoulder, breaking the kiss.
sakuya opened his eyes, frowning when the kiss was forced apart. when he tried to lean in again, his chest was held back.
“saku! sion hyung is outside!” yushi warned. panic gripped him.
“just leave him. he’ll go away eventually.”
sakuya leaned in again, but just as their lips were about to meet, yushi turned his face away—so sakuya’s lips only landed on his cheek.
sakuya let out a low sound. he moved again, kissing along yushi’s jaw, his hand holding the back of yushi’s neck as he tried to connect their lips once more.
yushi could still hear sion knocking. this time, riku’s voice joined in from outside. yushi panicked.
he hit sakuya’s shoulder hard, finally making him pull away.
“yushi!” sakuya’s voice dropped, almost like an angry growl.
yushi shook his head. “just let me go for a moment, okay? sion and riku hyung will get worried…”
when sakuya finally moved aside, yushi immediately got off the bed and walked to the door, opening it just a little.
“yeah, hyung?” yushi peeked through the gap, only showing part of himself, still holding the door so it wouldn’t open wider.
sion frowned. “are you okay? hyung’s been calling you.”
“ah… i was in the bathroom, sorry.” yushi smiled at sion and riku, who were both looking at him with concern and confusion.
“alright. we’re going to buy dinner, want to come?”
yushi shook his head. “no. i want to rest first. just leave me some if there’s any, i’ll eat it tomorrow.”
“okay. take care. hyung will buy something for you too.” sion patted his head.
“yuuchan, have you seen sakuya?” riku asked.
yushi flinched slightly. “sakuya? um… he’s in my room, sleeping.”
“huh? is he bothering you? i’ll kick him out,” riku stepped forward, about to go inside.
yushi quickly stopped him. “n—no! no! it’s okay! saku said he wanted to sleep with me since earlier, um… it’s fine…”
“oh? alright then…” riku still looked unsure but decided to trust him.
yushi smiled as sion and riku finally walked away.
and when he closed the door— his body was suddenly turned and pressed against it, making yushi wince slightly.
Sakuya, the one at fault, grinned at him. “They’re already gone, can we continue?” His deep voice whispered at the crook of Yushi’s neck.
Both of his hands wrapped around Yushi’s slender waist, and his head buried itself in the hollow of Yushi’s neck, greedily inhaling his scent.
“Saku… we haven’t cleaned up yet… do I smell?” Yushi murmured. His body shivered as he felt Sakuya’s breath against his neck, occasionally tensing when he felt Sakuya’s lips press soft kisses there—just kisses.
Sakuya’s hands moved, squeezing the sides of Yushi’s waist, his body pressing closer until there was no space left between them.
“Sakuya—nnhh…” Yushi groaned as Sakuya began to move his tongue around his neck, his lips skillfully playing there. Yushi’s hands gripped the young man’s shoulders, trying to push him away.
“Saku—mmhh… stop…” Yushi felt dizzy. Sakuya’s hands began to roam over his body, slipping inside the shirt he was wearing.
“Yushi…” Sakuya rested his forehead on Yushi’s shoulder, still holding him tightly.
“I could barely hold myself back when I saw him trying to steal a kiss from you. It felt… it felt like I wanted to stop everything and pull you away from him.”
He let out a breath. “I almost… I almost…” Sakuya muttered, his hands tightening around Yushi’s waist as he pressed their bodies even closer together.
“You’re jealous…” Yushi smiled, realizing what was going on with his younger lover
.
“Yes. Very. I almost forgot he was older and nearly threw him away from you, Yushi.”
Sakuya pulled back and looked into Yushi’s eyes.
Beautiful. So beautiful
.
Sakuya leaned in again and pressed his lips to Yushi’s. Yushi received a flurry of kisses from him until he had to hold Sakuya’s face to make him stop.
“You haven’t showered,” Yushi said after finally stopping him.
“Then let’s bathe together?” Sakuya beamed.
but Yushi shook his head.
“We’ll end up taking too long in the bathroom. We have an early schedule tomorrow.”
Sakuya pouted. “You made me almost burn with jealousy, and now you’re rejecting my love? Don’t you love me anymore, Yushi?”
“What does that have to do with it? I’m
telling you to clean up because I love you.” Yushi smiled. His hand brushed Sakuya’s hair back before giving him a brief kiss.
“In that case, let’s go. I promise I’ll bathe you properly,” Sakuya coaxed again.
On impulse, Sakuya lifted Yushi into his arms. “Let’s bathe!”
Ignoring Yushi’s protests, Sakuya carried him straight into the bathroom.
✦•┈๑⋅⋯⋯⋅๑┈•✦
The bathroom door closed tightly.
The outside world seemed cut off—no Sion, no cameras, no one watching.
Sakuya lowered his head, his breath still heavy.
“Don’t let anyone touch you like that again,” he murmured.
His grip tightened,
as if Yushi could disappear at any moment.
And this time—he wouldn’t let that happen.
And just like that, everything settled, with Yushi and Sakuya enjoying their time beneath the falling shower, warmth spreading through both of their bodies.
