Zelo

   I woke early and to the sound of my phone for I had forgotten to turn off my alarm set for school days. I cringed at the loud noise in worry that it might have disturbed anyone else. I looked around to find Youngjae hyung sleeping soundly across from me and on the top bunks, slumbered Yongguk. Himchan was probably out on a date, and I assumed that Jongup went out to work with Daehyun like he’s been doing recently. Youngjae hyung likes to sleep in late whenever he can and Yongguk hyung is just…. Yongguk hyung.

   I let out a small sigh of relief for not only the fact that none of them were bothered but mostly because I wouldn’t have to face Bang Hyung right away.

  I slid out of bed and headed for the shower before getting dressed and eating breakfast and such. It was about noon by the time I finished I was surprised that there was still no sign of any other members. I wasn’t disappointed though, I was relieved and I decided to give Hwajae a call as I secretly slipped out the door.

   “Yoboseyo..?” I heard her voice over the line after only a couple rings.

   "Noona?"

   "Zelo-ah?"

   "Ne, it's me." I heard her smile and my lips did the same. "Are you ready for practice."

   "Yeah, I just finished washing up."

   "Great, I'll meet you there then?"

   "Ne, meet you there." I heard the line drop and put my phone back to sleep with a sigh.

   "So this is the decision I made..."

 

Jongup

+ + +

 

   “Yah, Jongup.”

   “Jongup.”

   “Jonguppie.”

   “Jongguppie-ah!”

   “Yah!”  I grumbled and finally opened my eyes to the shaking and pestersom beckoning.

   “M-Mwo?~” I moaned as I waited for my vision to focus.

   “Shh, come on, get up.” I scrunched my face and looked down to the end of my bunk to see Daehyun rattling my feet. He’s lucky I didn’t kick him in the face… I thought.

   “Wh-why?? It’s so early….” I whined and he pulled my blanket off as he dropped back down to the floor.

  “I took a shift at work today so I could get more time off to practice.” He explained as he began to get dressed.

  “So…??” I sat up and glared at him sleepily as I rubbed my eyes.

  “Soooo~” He leaned towards me as he grabbed his hat off the bedpost and popped it on his head with a sly grin. “You’re coming with me.” I was surprised that he wasn’t getting tired of me by now. To be honest, Daehyun and I have been spending lots of time together.

  “O..Ok…” I blushed a little and slid out of bed, still tired and began getting dressed. Daehyun smiled and me and I tried to pretend I didn’t see.

   Before long we were headed to the shop and Daehyun seemed in as good a mood as ever while I could barely keep my eyes open.

  “Yaahh… I can’t believe you took a shift on a Saturday, we have to perform tonight.” I complained and he turned around and walked backwards in front of me through the metro station.

  “Come on now Dongsaeng~” He grinned as he tapped my cheek to wake me up. “You’re young, you should have more energy. Besides, it’s only a few hours, I’ll be off by lunch.”

   “Whatever.” I blushed and rolled my eyes, but truthfully I didn’t know why I was complaining. I was glad he asked me to come. 

 

   We rode the train quietly like usual and I was feeling more awake by the time we got off.

  "Hey." I heard Dae's voice as we made it out onto the street. "We're a little early, let's get breakfast~" My eyes lit up at the thought of food, Daehyun had dragged me out the door so fast that I didnt even get to eat anything. 

  "Ne!" He chuckled and immediately started looking for a place. 

  "What about there?" He pointed to a small cafe type place. It looked promising so I agreed and we headed towards it. 

   It was quiant and full of mostly businuss people so it was quiet, I liked it.  

  "What do you want?" He asked, bringing me back on track as I had gotten distracted while looking around at everything and everyone. 

  "Hmm... A jelly donut!" I replied with a smile. 

  "For breakfast??" He raised a brow at me and I pouted. 

  "Why not...?" He looked at me for another moment then chuckled and ruffled my hair. 

  "Arasseo, go find a place to sit." I nodded and did as I was told and before long, he came with our food. 

  "Here," He said as he handed me a transparent cup. "I got you an ice coffee too, they had your favorite flavor." I tilted my head and took it from him. 

  "G-Gomawo.." Daehyun knows my favorite flavor of ice coffee? How could he? We don't get coffee often. I took a sip and smiled as he had been right. I was pleasantly surprised that he would pay attention to something so small. Then again, I talked myself out of it, he spends all his time with BAP, im sure he knows all the members' favorite foods... 

  "What did you get?" I asked, peeking at his food as he began eating. 

  "Just a crecant and orange juice." I tilted my head.

   "No coffee?" He shook his head as he chewed then spoke after he swallowed. "I don't care for it, it's bitter. I only like sweet coffees like lattes and frappes and stuff." 

   "Oh.." I nodded. I'll have to make sure to remember that. I decided to unwrap my donut and frowned as I knew I would probably make a mess with all the powder. Why the hell did I choose jelly of all things... I pouted and decided to go in for a bite anyways but it was a bad idea. This one just happened to be loaded and the filling squirted out all over my cheeks. I felt my cheeks flush and my face screw up in embarrassment, then to further put me in uncomfort, Daehyun began to laugh. 

  "Yah~ I didn't know you were such a messy eater." He teased. I looked down as I fumbled with my napkin. 

  "Ja," He chuckled. "Look here." I looked up to him hesitantly and suddenly his hand reached out to my face. He firmly wiped it with his thumb, scraping off the jelly and brought it to meet his lips. 

  "Mmm~ Now why would you waste such good jelly?~" I stared at him, speachless until we each awkwardly looked away.. It wasn't quiet a "secret garden" moment, and not half as clean or smooth, but i still couldn't get over the fact that my hyung had just eaten food off my face. 

  "M-Molla..." I answered awkwardly as I wiped the rest of the stickyness from my face. He just looked down at his food as he ate and smirked quietly and I made sure to be more careful when I ate. 

  

Yongguk

   I groaned and rolled over, almost falling off my bunk. I picked up my phone that lay beside my pillow and squinted at it as I checked the time.

   “Ugh… Why did I sleep so late??”  I seemed to be the last one out of bed as I inspected all the empty bunks after getting down. But it’s so quiet…. I became suspicious as I wandered into the living room and found a completely empty dorm all except for Yoo Youngjae who sat quietly on his laptop listening to music through his headphones.

  He took them off and looked to me as I shuffled into the kitchen. I hummed quietly as a song lyric had been bugging me the past few days but I couldn’t quite get it out. I pursed my lips. Where is Zelo when I need him…

   “Good morning.” Youngjae finally greeted and I returned it with a quiet nod.

   “Where is everyone?” I asked as I carried my bowl into the living room and took a seat on the chair adjacent to the couch where he sat.

  “Oh, you know, out doing their thing.” He replied trivially. I glared at him.

  “But it’s a Saturday, we have to perform tonight.” He shrugged.

  “Himchan hyung’s probably got a girl and Daehyun took an early shift so he could get more practice time in.” I thought for a moment.

   “What about the kids?”

  “Well, Jongup probably went with Daehyun again and Zelo-“ He suddenly stopped and looked up from his screen as he tilted his head. “I don’t know where he would be… probably at the studio or something.” He shrugged and went back to whatever he was doing.

   “He’s ALWAYS at the studio though!” I complained, starting to get rather frustrated with the fact.

  “You can’t rush talent hyung.” He said in a matter of fact tone and I scoffed. Can’t rush talent MY . That kid rushes talent so hard, he’s got it seeping out of his pores.

  “Whatever.” I grumbled and watched the tv as I stuffed my face with breakfast.

 

Jongup

    We got to the shop and were greeted by Taeil Hyung. We seemed to get along pretty well now but he still enjoyed teasing us way too much.

   “DAEHYUN-AH!” He called happily and Dae smiled.

   “How’s my favorite couple?~” He asked as he came up to us and pinched my cheeks. I giggled involuntarily and he chuckled, slinging his arm over my shoulder.

  “Pshh..” Daehyun rolled his eyes and grabbed a the wrench from Tae’s hand and headed towards the car.

   “What do we have today?” Taeil soon left my side and the two of them started talking car stuff. I had learned a lot since I started coming with Dae-hyung but I still couldn’t follow their conversation.

  After a while I got kinda bored and decided to listen to the radio. I found a good station with a rap song on and turned it up and it wasn’t long until my feet carried me along. It started out as simple tricks but I couldn’t help but get more intricate as I let the hip hop beat take me away.

  “Waah Daehyun, look at Jongup~ Isn’t he y??~” I heard Taeil’s voice and spun to a stop as my face flushed and gave an awkward chuckle.

  “A-Aniya…” I mumbled.

  “He’s right.” Daehyun said coldly and my heart couldn’t help but drop slightly. Then A grin spread across his face and he sauntered over to me and stepped in on the beat, challenging my moves.”This is y~”  My face slowly brightened and I accepted his proposal, dancing alongside him.

  “No no no no, this is how it’s done!”  Taeil shouted over the music and pushed us both aside and busted a quirky move. We all laughed and the dancing came to an end. I smiled brightly at Daehyun who smiled back and I decided in that moment to stop denying it. I like Jung Daehyun.

  “Ara~ No dirty dancing in this shop. Sorry guys, don’t want manager hyung to see~” Taeil seemed to be over doing it today and I could tell that Daehyun was getting more and more irritated with every joke. I looked to him quietly as he just stood there, burning a glare into Tael’s back as he walked back towards the car, his whole mood had changed in a split second.

  “What?” Taeil asked turning around, once he realized that Dae wasn’t following.

  “Will you stop saying things like that??” I felt myself shrivel up as I suddenly began to fear him. The anger was seeping from his eyes but Taeil didn’t seem to give a single care.

  “Well sorry Daehyun, I know you like dancing with your boyfriend but we have to work.” I felt my eyes widen as Dae balled his fists and shouted at his hyung.

   “YAH!” I had the urge to run away and hide, not wanting to be a part of it but my feet were frozen to the floor for the fact that this argument what somewhat revolving around me.

  “Wae?” Tail chuckled. “It’s just teasing~”

 “No! It’s weird, that’s what it is!” He spat as he passed by the former and angrily swiped a tool from the ground.

  “We’re just friends, right Jongup??” His eyes burned into me and broke my shock, making my heart jump into my throat, choking out my words.

  “Y-Yeah.” I answered unwillingly and looked down as my cheeks burned. 

  “Woah there.” Teail exclaimed, holding his hands up in defense. “Sorry.”

  “Whatever..” Daehyun sighed, calming down. “Let’s just get this done.”

  I stood there silently while the others went on to their work. The words that came from his mouth stung me, and it lingered there, not letting up. I couldn’t tell if I felt like I wanted to throw up or if I wanted to cry. Regardless, neither were something I could do here.

  “I- I think I ate a bad breakfast.” And like that I made a run for the bath room just like last time, but this time I didn’t want Daehyun to chase after me. I didn’t want to see him at all.

“I think I like you, Hyung...”

 “That’s weird.”

“No… it’s not…”  I whimpered into my hands as I sat alone in a stall.

“We’re just friends”

“B-But that’s not what I-“

“No! It's weird! That's what it is!”

   The tears I had been holding back finally began to fall and I wiped them away furiously. No, I’m not going to cry over you! This is stupid! I was lying when I said I liked you! It was a lie. You’re right, we’re just friends. I’m just feeling weird today, that’s why I thought that. Lie lie lie.(Jonbu Keotjima~a~a~)

   I blushed as I hiccupped through my cries, worried that someone would walk in and to my horror, someone did.

  I froze where I sat, hoping that the person would just go to the bathroom or whatever and leave, but they lingered there in the door way. My heart pounded in fear that it was him. No, please. Just go away. I’m begging you. I don’t want you anymore…

   “Jongup-ah?” I could have fallen out of my seat in relief at the sound of Taeil hyung’s voice.

  “N-Ne!” I answered, trying my best not to sound stuffy or shaky breathed. The only problem with it being Taeil, is that now I had to face him.

   “Are you alright…? You seemed really sick just now…” I shook the sorrow from my face and grabbed some toilet paper, wiping my eyes then flushing it away like I had actually been using the toilet. I then turned around and slowly pulled over the latch and pushed open the door to find Taeil’s concerned face.

   I avoided eye contact as I made my way to the sink and began to was my hands.

  “What’s wrong?” He asked as he leaned on the sink and tried to get a look at my face but I just kept my stare on my hands.

  “I said I didn’t feel well..” I explained, trying to use a firm voice but kicked myself when it cracked. He sighed.

  “Your eyes are red… it’s not your stomach.”

  “It.. hurts..” I tried to convince him but unfortunately I began to tear up again.

  “I know…” He frowned, knowing that I wasn't really talking about my stomach. I turned my face away so he wouldn’t see me like this. I had been embarrassed enough…

   “Come here…” He grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. I was a little uncomfortable at first but gave in and pouted as I rested my head on his shoulder and silently let my tears run.

   “That was mean of Hyunnie wasn’t it…” I didn’t answer as my stomach burned at the idea that he was catching on. He must have felt me tense because he chuckled soon after.

  “Don’t be embarrassed Dongsaeng..” He comforted. “I’ve known for a while.” I pulled away immediately and stared at him in horror. He just looked back amusedly.

  “K-Known what?” He laughed and I felt myself blush even deeper and srink down a few sizes.

  “My best friend is gay.” He told me and my heart stopped. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die.It sounds so... blunt when you put it that way. But is it true...? Am I really Gay for Jung Daehyun...? 

  “W-Well I don’t know what that has to do with-“  I tried to deny it but I couldn’t look him in the eye and I was sure that I didn’t sound believable.

  “Hey,” I finally looked back at him as he patted me on the shoulder. “Give it time, if he feels the same way, he’ll give in eventually.” I looked down in shame as he pulled me gently towards the door and rubbed my back. “Now look up,” He told me. “You have to show him how strong you are.”

 

Yongguk

   I rolled around on the couch bored out of my mind. The most excitement I had gotten all day was watching how awkwardly Daehyun and Jonup acted when they got home. I pondered idly for a moment what that was all about but it wasn’t long before my thoughts traveled back to how pissed off I was that Zelo had been gone all day with no explanation.

   This was out of routine and it was making me anxious. I looked over at the clock, at was almost dinner time.

   "I'll give him an hour and a half." I annouced to no one in particular. I heard Himchan scoff from across the room.

   "I'll bet you 10 bucks he won't be back."

   "You're on. He wouldn't miss one of our Saturdays."

   "Kind of already did~" Daehyun teased on his way to the bunk room.

   "Watch it Busan." I warned sternly and gave him a glare. He just rolled his eyes and grinned.

   "Did you try texting him?" Jongup asked quietly as he sat in the chair.

   "Only about a million times and he still hasn't answered." I looked at my phone again to see if there was anything but there wasn't. I sighed, starting to feel worried. This really isn't like him...

 

   The time passed quickly and there were about 20 minutes left until my time was up. I wasn't going to let this slide and I sure as hell wasn't going to lose a bet to someone like Kim Himchan.

   I heaved myself from th couch and headed straight for the door.

   "Yah, where are you going?" Himchan called to me.

   "I'm going to find Zelo."

   "There's still 20 minutes left, if you bring him back now that's a void of the bet." He warned.

   "Then I'm calling it off." I answered carelessly, slipping on my shoes and headed out the door.

   "SORE LOSER!" I heard him call and rolled my eyes before heading off to the studio.

   The lights in our studio were on and I suddenly felt my emotions rise. Seriously what the hell kind of work could be so important that he had to miss dinner, if he wasnt back in time, I'd make him perform without a meal. He wouldn't have a choice, performances start at 10 and it's about seven now so unless he wants to cook himself ramen, he's not getting anything.

   I burst through the door and proceeded down the hall. I disn't try to calm myself as everything I was angry about rushed through my head.

   The pounding of the bass nearly pushed me over as I approached the door and yanked it open. I really hope you're alone, cause your in for it.
