"Taeyong."

            The boy hums in response to his name being called after putting his toothbrush back in it's proper place. He's still out of it, it's far too early in the morning right now to even give a proper reply much less go to the schedule they have planned today.

            The person calling for him repeats his name with a whinier tone. "Taeyong."

            This time Taeyong doesn't bother to hum or grunt in reply he turns his head and his lips almost immediately meets another's. It's a quick peck, a light press of lips so that both parties involved are left with no doubt that it happened.

            Taeyong pulls back on reflex and his mind instantly snaps back into alertness. His chest feels like it's been suddenly electrocuted because of the shock he feels. But the feeling fades fairly quickly when he realizes he's face to face with Doyoung.

            Right. The only one that ever pulls this kissing stuff with him.

            "Morning," Doyoung grins brightly as if it wasn't a big deal to suddenly kiss his band mate.

            Blinking away the last bits of his drowsiness, Taeyong replies with a rather even, "Morning."

            And just like that Doyoung leaves the bathroom in order to change into proper clothes and get his make up done.

            Taeyong blinks a few times before choosing to shrug the moment off. He wanted to play it off cooly although he can be quite awkward at times; it wasn't like kissing was a big deal and they weren't being filmed when it happened so Taeyong doesn't mind, besides Doyoung has done this a number of times already.

            He's used to it and he knows there's only going to be more coming throughout the day.

            The second time Doyoung decides to just plant one on him is while they're at a photoshoot location. They're sitting at the back eating their late lunch quickly before their turn to be photographed comes up. A few of their members are posing before the camera while the other remaining ones are getting prepped for their turn next.

            Taeyong has more focus on the kimbap he was scarfing down with cola than Doyoung who was seated beside him eating his own portion. Doyoung usually doesn't pull anything when there are other people around but maybe Taeyong let his guard down a little too soon.

            Doyoung starts making rustling noises indicating he finished his meal which momentarily draws Taeyong's attention. The younger grins sheepishly at Taeyong, "I'm still hungry."

            The blonde had to admit Doyoung had a point, the lunch was rather light for all the work they were doing. Without thinking too much of it, Taeyong pushes his portion a little closer to Doyoung and picks up another piece. He brings the kimbap piece closer to Doyoung's mouth intending to feed it to him since the other seems to have thrown away his own chopsticks.

            "Have some of mine too, I got extra from the lady handing them out because she thought I needed to eat more."

            Doyoung opens his mouth and Taeyong easily pops the piece in. Grinning, the younger chews carefully and swallows before jokingly saying, "You do need to eat more."

            Taeyong shrugs and jokes back, "Then you can't have anymore."

            Of all things Taeyong expected to happen, he thought the most likely would be that Doyoung would have made some other joke at him or changed his mind and begged for another piece but when he doesn't receive one after picking up another piece of kimbap he looks at Doyoung curiously.

            Doyoung is looking around quickly as if scanning the room for something and Taeyong crinkles his brows in confusion at the strange action. As far as Taeyong can tell no one has called for them yet.

            "What are you looking for-"

            The red head cuts Taeyong off with a small peck that was probably aimed for his lips as a whole but Doyoung ended up mostly kissing his bottom lip in his haste.

            Taeyong drops the kimbap that was carefully held between his chopsticks.

            Doyoung freaks but of course for all the wrong reasons, "Don't waste the food!"

            "You startled me!" Taeyong feels an irregular thumping in his chest as he takes a quick once over around the room to see if anyone saw what they did. Thankfully, it seemed like all eyes were on the photoshoot and no one was paying them any mind. He unconsciously breathes a sigh of relief. He swears Doyoung almost stopped his heart with that move.

            Then he realizes something obvious.

            Oh… That's why Doyoung was looking around earlier.

            "That's not a good excuse to waste food!" chastised Doyoung as he bent down to pick up the dropped food with a napkin to throw away.

            Taeyong wants to respond to that with something witty but their wardrobe coordinator was currently walking towards them so he chose to keep his mouth shut.

            He supposes it doesn't matter anyways, no one saw them and Doyoung is being careful not to get caught.

            The third time happens when Taeyong is somewhere in between dream land and reality because the long car rides from location to location were always hard to endure with drowsiness always intervening. Doyoung and himself decide to seat themselves in the far back while the others gather in the front seats.

            He tries his best to keep himself awake because the feeling of abruptly being woken up and grogginess that follows it is absolutely the worst but he can't do it, he has to give in and close his eyes for a few moments because his eyelids are too heavy for him to keep open any longer.

            It feels like he's slept for only a few minutes before he feels a hand on his shoulder shaking him roughly. A groan escapes his mouth, he's not ready to be woken up yet. He wants to sleep at least a few more hours.

            Doyoung's voice breaks through to his eardrums. "Taeyong. Wake up. We need to go, our car is at the location for filming."

            The older cracks his eyes open and practically regrets it, ugh it's so bright out today. There's a lingering grogginess as he blinks repeatedly so his eyes could adjust to the brightness.

            There's a light pat to his cheek and Taeyong turns his face forwards to see Doyoung leaning in towards him again. His mind short circuits for a moment and the feeling of anticipation twists itself in his gut. Taeyong shuts his eyes.

            Then the feeling of lips, Doyoung's lips specifically, are gliding just barely across the corner of his own mouth in a teasing gesture. Taeyong knows it's teasing because unlike the other times, Doyoung is clearly smiling into this ghostly kiss.

            An odd sensation washes over Taeyong but he denies that it could possibly be disappointment of all things. There's nothing to really be disappointed about because this just what Doyoung does.

            Doyoung is smiling at him and there seems to be slight amusement twinkling in his eyes, "Why'd you close your eyes?"

            Taeyong ignores the question because he doesn't even know himself and changes the subject, "Doyoung, there's always cameras in the car."

            The simple reply Doyoung provides with his usual sunshiney smile is, "The camera was off, no worries."

            The fourth time is unexpectedly during their practice session which is completely unforeseen because Taeyong knows Doyoung always takes vocal practice very seriously.

            Their instructor told them to warm up their voices while he goes back to grab a few materials for their practice session, taking Jaehyun and Ten with him to help. Taeil and Mark decides to take this time to use the bathroom before their instructor comes back. This ultimately leaves only Taeyong and Doyoung in the room alone together.

            Doyoung starts off the warm up and Taeyong joins in for fun despite being a part of the rapper line. They go through the different vocal scales and repeat a few of the ones that gives them a challenge. Somewhere along the way the scales turn in to a random song that Doyoung starts singing to and Taeyong joins in, barely attempting to harmonize with the other.

            It sounds completely weird and Doyoung stops singing because he's laughing. "It sounds really off key."

            "I know it does," Taeyong looks amused.

            "Let's start with the first note." Doyoung sings it clearly and waits for Taeyong to follow after.

            Taeyong does, mostly on key this time.

            "Next," Doyoung lets it pass and sings the next note at a higher pitch.

            Taeyong crinkles his face up at the sound, "My
