Baro knew the MC had touched a bad topic when the next slide on the tv screen came up. He quickly glanced over at the male next to him before drawing his attention back to the female. Speaking about this actually tugged at his own heart because he knew it was all false, but can’t help but resist the urge to hunt down the people that started these stupid rumors in the first place. Hearing Sandeul’s forced laughter pained him and all he wanted to do was cradle the elder until he felt better. Cursing the fact that they were camera’s on them he tried to shot the other a worried look that was filled with warmth, but the other looked away before he could even see it.

Sighing, he gave up. When the next topic was announced the rapper decided to just be more out there than usual to have the cameras off of his elder, so he’d have some space to just clear up after that unexpected incident. He wants to tell him that he’s beautiful, amazing, stunning, talented, and completely beyond compared. What the MC said about people writing it because he’s handsome was completely true and it was nothing to be ashamed about. If only he was able to let him know that himself though.

The ride home with the singer was quieter than usual. The blonde would always glance next to him but never did he get the elder’s attention away from the boring landscape that zoomed by them. Glancing around the van, he noticed CNU sitting on the other side of him… texting away as per usual and Chanshik and their leader flirting it off in the front. He couldn’t help but wonder why so many thought that child was an innocent being. Childish, very. Innocent… far from it. That kid really knew how to fool everyone around him and that right there is ridiculous.

Soon his gaze fell back on the singer besides him and he wanted to so bad just to pull him into an embrace, but it was hard. The anxiety of the other’s reaction was killing him. It wasn’t like he couldn’t do it… but he just won’t. Three days ago on Saturday, their usual meeting ended up with the singer not even sparing him a glance. He had gone overboard with his jealousy when he stumbled upon pictures after pictures of the singer with their eldest member. What terrible timing.

“…Sandeul… At le—“

“Sandeul-Hyung” The other corrected, not sparing a glance as his gaze was still connected to the glass.

“Deulie… Don’t ke—“

“Hyung.”

Baro sighed before combing a hand through his dyed locks. The singer really knew how to rip him up inside. All he wants to do is hug the singer to make him feel better, but at the rate things are it’s more than physically impossible.

Once back at the apartment, CNU disappeared to who knows where and the other couple behind their shared room. He finds this a perfect time to try to get things patched up with the elder who was lying on the sofa. Slowly walking over, he sighed as he saw the other turn his back towards him. What was  a male to do to get some attention around here? Baro knows that the topic from earlier was still racked inside the elder’s head. He knows this well because that was what made the other so hesitant on going out with him in the first place.

“Sandeu—“

“Hyung.”

“….Junghwan. I’m not in the mood for this.” He knew he should be more patient with Sandeul. It was his fault in the first place for going overboard with his jealousy in the first place. Though, that was three days ago and now it seems like the singer is going to be even more pushy because of the topic today. He wasn’t going to let the male off the hook so easily with this when he knows he’s hurting.

“I wasn’t in the mood to hear you go off a—“Cutting the singer off with his hand, he pulled him off the sofa and pushed him into his room. There is no getting away with this, the rapper was going to make his punishment time shorter whether the elder agreed to it or not.

“Yah! I told you I wasn’t going to talk to you until you apologize!” He felt the other push him back against the door before huffing out, eyes puffy from how long he’s been holding back his tears. They were red already and he hasn’t even let a single tear fall upon his flawless features.

Letting another sigh escape, the rapper forced himself away from the door before enveloping the singer in a tight embrace. Feeling the other trying to fight and push away from him, he just clung on to him tighter before pushing him down on to the empty bed under his bunk. The bed supposedly belonged to the manager but since B1A4 was a good group, the manager hardly spends time here.

Forcing all his body weight down on to the elder, he made sure that the other gave up resisting to get away before speaking once more. “Junghwan… I’m not going to apologize about getting jealous, but at least listen. Arrasso?” Holding the singer less forceful now, he gave a light peck to his forehead. “You can cry you know… It’s alright. But what that MC said… it was true. You’re so much more beautiful now, of course people would think it’s due to plastic surgery… A-And I don’t mean it in a bad way. It’s not why I am in love with you, alright? It’s only a bonus to have someone so amazingly stunning.. But looks aren’t everything.” Getting no response from the other so far, he was unsure if he should go on but he did so anyways. “You’re talented… funny, amazing, out there, different… adorable, helpful… and… Just so much more that I can’t even list. So.. you shouldn’t care what those people say… Though when you want to cry, please… come to me and cry.. Even if you’re mad at me. I don’t want you alone when you’re upset…” Baro wanted to slap himself for sounding so… So corny and romantic. It was so un—

“…This is so unlike you…”

Forcing himself up slightly so he could look at the singer’s face, he blinked a few times before letting out a small chuckle. It was very unlike him. “Love does amazing things sometimes…”

“I’m still mad at you…. I don’t see why you can’t apologize” He noted how the elder was still not staring at him, no eye contact what so ever. The singer’s eyes had tears that were still held back and he could only sigh.

“Because! I’m not ashamed of the fact that I was jealous. It shows that I’m serious about being with you and I don’t want you with anyone else, not even another band member! I’ll take that person down if I have to, just to stay with yo—“

“Aish, what is wrong with you today? What medicine did you take to start sounding like you came out from a K-drama? Are you trying to go into acting?” He could feel the annoyance in Sandeul’s voice as he swallowed nervously.

“N-No…I-….e-er… J-Junghwan! D-Don’t be like this! I’m trying to make a point!”

“Normally you show it, don’t you?” Sandeul spoke plainly, gaze still not met with his own.

That was… completely true. He did always show what he meant rather than speaking about it. What was wrong with him today to not do so? … Actually… This all happened since satu-…. Jinyoung. It was because of the elder that he started being more verbal about things. This was the leaders fault!.

“You should always voice out how you feel. If not… Thing’s may take the wrong turn. That’s why we do those ‘silly’ Saturday meetings anyways”

Coughing a few times, he finally felt Sandeul’s eyes on him. It was his turn to not look at the other though. “E-Erm…”

“Yah! Sunwoo! Look at me!” He felt the elder’s hands on his cheeks and suddenly began wondering why he wanted him to look now. This relationship will be the very end of him if he doesn’t get himself out of this predicament.

“I-…er-er….”  His gaze was still everywhere but on his lover. One of his hands ran up the singer’s side slowly, trying to find ways to calm the other down.

Clearly the other wasn’t very amused as he instantly shoved him back and sat up, facing away now.

“A-Aigoo! D-Don’t be like that Deulie. I-…. I got carried away with …w-what Jinyoung-hyung told me. T-that’s all…. D-don’t be so mad though…” Baro tried, wanting hard to patch this up without apologizing. He didn’t see why he has to because he really did feel that Sandeul should move away from CNU more.

“It was ONE picture”

“Thr—“

“Three all at the same time!” Sandeul huffed out, still not giving any eye contact.

Maybe Baro did go a bit overboard and exaggerated everything. Maybe he was growing too protective. Sighing once again, he let himself fall back on to the bed as he cursed himself for being so stupid. Sometimes he couldn’t help but wonder why he was so lucky to have such a beautiful person with him, and today he was wondering it once again. The other wasn’t lucky at all. The rapper felt lucky only because the singer hasn’t even mentioned the words of breaking up due to his stupidity. If there were more than just one or two pictures… surely he would’ve gone all out worse. What made the singer s-- …. Feeling a head against his chest and a warm body close to him, he couldn’t help but freeze in his thoughts.

“ You’re so … stupid. I’m not mad because you were jealous…. You should’ve told me beforehand!... Aish…”

“…Mianhae…” Baro surely wasn’t sorry about being jealous, not at all. He was apologetic for not letting the elder know sooner. He just let it build up until he blew at the confession day. One of his hands made its way into Sandeul’s hair, feeling the softness and how it just easily slid through his fingers. He could feel the elder smile against his chest and that lightened up his heart. “…Are you… feeling better, though?”

Seeing the elder look up at him in confusion was a big setback to him. “..Better about ..what?”

“….About… the…er-..you know…plastic surgery thing…”

He noticed a small ‘o’ upon Sandeul’s sweet lips and resisted the urge to just kiss him there and then. “That. . . “ He felt the singer rest his head against him once again and he was sure the other could hear his heart tear seeing how upset he is. Wrapping both arms around the smaller male, he was about to speak until the other beat him to it. “…That… I-… It’s fine…”

“Junghwan…. You know… If you want to cry, you can go ahead… You did s—“

“I don’t want to cry, I’m no cry baby.” He could hear the annoyance laced into those words.

“Hwannie. Don’t li—“ He felt a pair of lips attached to his own and wasn’t sure how to even react at first. Soon though, he found himself kissing back. He rolled them over so Sandeul was under him now and his hands began to roam the body beneath him. The rapper completely forgot about the topic  beforehand as he became completely immersed into the kiss.  It had been over two weeks since they had last done it and the rapper was going to fix that along with the insecurities the other carried.
