After they had escaped the fangirls, they arrived at the café, and ordered their drinks.

Hyun Su had a kids-size mug of hot cocoa with whipped cream and a blueberry muffin. The way the adorable six-year-old, was cautiously taking sips of his hot cocoa as to not burn his tongue made Sunggyu smile. But then he glanced across from him at Woohyun who was engrossed in every ounce of the whipped cream that topped his mug. Sunggyu couldn’t help but stare as Woohyun looked up at him, his nose slightly pink from the heat of his drink.

“What?” Woohyun asked.

“Uh nothing, it’s just…you really like sweet things huh?”

“Nah, not that much.” Woohyun responded, before taking a big bite of a chocolate croissant

“Really?” Sunggyu snorted.

“So much for my diet huh?” Woohyun grinned.

“Yeah, I was wondering about that…”

“You know this is your fault right hyung?” Woohyun pointed out in a joking manner. “Because of you, I always end up eating a big dinner.”

“Sorry.” Sunggyu smiled sheepishly. “But you still look in shape and everything.”

“Yeah, but I think I did get a little chubbier. I guess I should do more exercise to balance out the extra calories.”

“But you looked pretty good, that time a few days ago when I—.” Sunggyu immediately stopped himself, when he realized he was about to spill the beans on the feeling-Woohyun-up-while-he-was-still-asleep incident.

“When you what?” Woohyun blinked.

“Uh no, it’s nothing.” Sunggyu said quickly and made a grab for Woohyun’s croissant.

“What are you doing hyung?” Woohyun pouted. “That was mine!”

“So? You should share!” Sunggyu retorted childishly as he stuffed his face with the flaky pastry. Woohyun could only watch, secretly amused at how Sunggyu’s stuffed cheeks made him look like a cute hamster.

“Ah that was good.” Sunggyu sighed, leaning back in his chair, after swallowing.

“Well I’m glad you enjoyed my pastry so much.” Woohyun folded his arms.

 “Yeah thanks. It was great~” Sunggyu grinned, with some chocolate decorating the edge of his lip. Woohyun chuckled, and pointed to Sunggyu’s face. “What?”

“You got some chocolate on your mouth.”

“Huh? Really? Where?”

“It’s right—.” Woohyun paused, when he saw Sunggyu stick out his tongue and the wrong side of his mouth.

“Is it gone?” Sunggyu asked.

“Uh…” Woohyun gulped as Sunggyu’s tongue finally found the chocolate staining his lips, and it away.

“Is it still there?”

“Y-Yeah…” Woohyun lied.                          

Sunggyu frowned before his tongue went to work again. Woohyun bit his lip as he shamelessly watched. He wondered what it would feel like to have those alluring lips on his. To have that tantalizing tongue in his mouth…on his skin.

“Are you sure its still there?” Sunggyu eyed him, suspiciously.

“Here appa.” Hyun Su handed him a napkin.

“Ah thanks.” Sunggyu smiled, and then wiped his mouth. “It should be gone now right?”

“N-No…” Woohyun’s gaze was still on Sunggyu’s mouth.

“Really?” Sunggyu turned to the director and the cameraman who was filming them.

The director mouthed the words, “You’re fine.”

“Yah…” Sunggyu nudged Woohyun. “Are you just trying to mess with me?”

“H-Huh?”

“Lying and saying there was something on my mouth?”

“Y-Yeah…” Woohyun stared at the empty plate where his croissant used to be. “T-That was what I was doing…”

++

“So…” Woohyun attempted to start a conversation, as the three of them sat in the living room in front of the TV that night. “Hyun Su, what do you want to do now?” He asked, before they noticed Hyun Su yawn.

Sunggyu glanced at his phone to check the time.

“It’s past eight.” He commented. “According to the schedule they gave us, Hyun Su should have had his bath and been in bed by now.”

“Oh…” Woohyun nodded. “I guess we should give him a bath then. How about that Hyun Su?”

“No.” Hyun Su pouted.

“Hyun Su, you have to take a bath.” Sunggyu demanded. “Do you want to go to bed covered in germs and dirt?”

Hyun Su looked down. “B-But I don’t like baths.”

“How about if appa goes with you?” Woohyun suggested.

“Gyu appa?” Hyun Su’s eyes brightened.

“Uh…actually I meant me.” Woohyun replied. “But if you don’t want—.”

“Ok.” Hyun Su piped up, shocking his appas.

“Really?” Woohyun gasped.

“I’ll take a bath with Gyu appa and gross ahjussi.”

Sunggyu paused. “Wait…with both of us?” Hyun Su nodded contentedly. Sunggyu bit his lip nervously and glanced at Woohyun who met his gaze, then blushed and looked away.

“H-How about you take a bath with just Gyu appa?” Woohyun requested.

“B-But…” Hyun Su pouted. “Gross ahjussi said—.”

“We won’t all fit in the tub.” Sunggyu pointed out.

“Actually the tub’s pretty big—.” Woohyun blurted out, and then slapped a hand over his mouth. Hyun Su jumped off the couch eagerly, and tugged at both Woohyun and Sunggyu’s hands, leading them to the bathroom.

++

“It is big…” Sunggyu noted staring at the circular porcelain tub.

“Uh…” Woohyun nudged Sunggyu. “A-Are we really going to—?”

“Let’s just get it over with.” Sunggyu replied, reaching over and turning on the faucet.

“Hyun Su,” Woohyun knelt down beside the six-year-old. “Appas won’t come in the bath with you ok?”

“Why not?” Hyun Su pouted.

“Because…” Woohyun paused to come up with a foolproof excuse. “W-We’re too old!” Sunggyu and Hyun Su looked at him. “Yeah…appas are too old for baths. We can only take showers!” Woohyun exclaimed.

“Why?” Hyun Su asked.

“B-Because…we’ll shrivel up and turn into….raisins!” Woohyun lied. “Sorry Hyun Su, but you’ll have to go in the bath yourself, unless you want Gyu appa and me to turn into raisins.”

Hyun Su folded his arms, clearly thinking it over. “Ok…” He finally gave in, allowing both Sunggyu and Woohyun to breathe sighs of relief.

Once they got Hyun Su in the tub Woohyun scrubbed soap on his back, while Sunggyu massaged shampoo in his hair. Woohyun tickled Hyun Su’s stomach, causing the boy to squirm and splash water on Sunggyu.

“Yah!” Sunggyu hissed, glancing down at his drenched t-shirt. “Don’t splash.”

“Sorry Gyu appa.” Woohyun and Hyun Su mumbled, then exchanged mischievous glances before splashing even more, getting the whole place sopping wet. Hyun Su was laughing hilariously, while Woohyun wore an overjoyed smirk. Sunggyu shook his head at them, before grinning and joining in on the splash fest.

After finally finishing Hyun Su’s bath, Woohyun and Sunggyu were pretty much soaked, as they dried Hyun Su off, and dressed him in his pajamas. They then proceeded to tuck Hyun Su into bed.

“It says, we should sing him a lullaby.” Sunggyu told Woohyun, referring to the list of things they had to do for Hyun Su.

Woohyun nodded, running a hand through his damp hair. “But which one? What’s your favorite song Hyun Su?”

“Twinkle twinkle little star.” Hyun Su smiled shyly.

“Ok, you start.” Woohyun told Sunggyu.

“S-Sing together…” Hyun Su murmured.

“Hm?” Sunggyu blinked. “What was that Hyun Su?”

“Sing it together.”

Woohyun and Sunggyu exchanged confused glances.

“Ok?” Sunggyu nodded and started singing the first verse, with Woohyun quietly singing along, mostly gazing at Sunggyu, in awe of the older male’s vocal prowess. Towards the middle of the song, Sunggyu could hear Woohyun’s voice become clearer, and was surprised to hear that he had quite a nice singing voice. By the time they reached the end of the song, Hyun Su was already asleep.

Woohyun smiled softly and Hyun Su’s hair gently.

“Let’s go.” Sunggyu whispered, and they crept out of the room, and headed for the bathroom to wipe up all the water that they had splashed everywhere during bath time.

“Your voice isn’t bad.” Sunggyu commented, as he threw a towel on the ground to absorb a puddle. Woohyun looked up from wiping the area near the door.

“Huh?”

“Your singing…” Sunggyu said. “Its was pretty good.”

Woohyun blushed and continued wiping the floor. “I-It’s not like yours…”

“No...it’s not.” Sunggyu responded taking a seat at the edge of the tub. “But that doesn’t mean it isn’t good.”

Woohyun kept his gaze on the floor, as Sunggyu knelt down beside him. He glanced up momentarily to see that Sunggyu was busy wiping the space near the bathtub. He couldn’t help but notice that Sunggyu’s wet shirt was clinging to his body and was practically see through. He unconsciously his dry lips as Sunggyu turned towards him, his bangs hanging over his fox like eyes. Woohyun gulped and returned his gaze to the floor.

“I think it should be good.” Sunggyu commented, and then glanced at Woohyun, who was still wiping the exact same place, expression unreadable. “Woohyun?” Sunggyu leaned closer, causing Woohyun to fall backwards on his bottom. “Did you hear me?” Sunggyu asked.

“Uh…yeah.” Woohyun nodded, and then stood up and turned around.

Sunggyu couldn’t hold back a grin, when he noticed Woohyun’s backside was completely soaked from falling in a puddle.

“Woohyun…”

“Yeah I heard you hyung.”

“No, it’s not that.” Sunggyu snorted. “It’s your pants.”

Woohyun blinked and turned around to face Sunggyu. “My pants?” Sunggyu walked closer, causing Woohyun to back up. “W-What are you—?” Woohyun paused as his back hit the bathroom door.

“You should probably take off your pants.” Sunggyu instructed.

Woohyun blushed. “W-Why?!”

“Can you seriously not feel it?”

“F-Feel what?”

“Turn around.” Sunggyu said in a casual tone, but Woohyun’s eyes went wide.

“Why?!”

“Because,” Sunggyu stepped forward. “You—.”

“NO!” Woohyun panicked holding up his hands in front of him. “D-DON’T—!”

“Shh!” Sunggyu clamped a hand over Woohyun’s mouth. “What’s wrong with you? You’ll wake Hyun Su!” All that came out of Woohyun’s mouth was noises, muffled by Sunggyu’s hand. Sunggyu removed his hand and stared at Woohyun with a confused expression. “You fell in a puddle and the back of your pants are wet.”

“Huh?” Woohyun blinked, and then realized what Sunggyu meant. “Oh…”

Sunggyu sighed. “Maybe we should all just take a bath together next time…I mean we got all wet anyways.”

“Y-Yeah we totally should.” Woohyun nodded, though inside he was completely against the idea.

It wasn’t because he didn’t want to take a bath with Sunggyu, but he was afraid that maybe he wanted to take a bath with Sunggyu a little too much. He figured it probably wasn’t normal to feel slightly just from the idea of bathing with Sunggyu. And if he wasn’t able to…control himself, he dreaded the consequences of such a thing happening, especially if Hyun Su was there too. That would be far too traumatic and inappropriate for everyone involved for sure. But of course there was no way he could admit any of this to Sunggyu so he was stuck pretending like he was all for the idea.

“So do you want to shower first or…?” Sunggyu asked, after they headed back into the bedroom.

“Or we could go together!” Woohyun blurted out, pretty much shooting himself in the foot. “Damn it!” He cursed in his mind. “Why the hell did I say that?!”

“Uh…why?” Sunggyu stared at him, clearly confused.

“Yes! He doesn’t think it’s a good idea! This is your chance to get out of this!” Woohyun told himself. “So we can save water! Don’t you know how bad the environment is these days hyung?” Woohyun didn’t even know how the words just came flowing out of his mouth. This wasn’t right. He was supposed to agree that it was a dumb idea and let Sunggyu shower first. Why was he blabbing on about the environment?

“I didn’t even think about that….” Sunggyu nodded, putting a finger to his chin.

“Is he actually buying this?!” Woohyun’s mouth hung open. He had to say something to knock this showering together idea off the table.

“Great! Let’s do this!” Woohyun shot Sunggyu an awkward thumbs up.

He really wanted to duct tape his mouth shut and then lock himself in a dark basement for the rest of eternity. He had no idea why his body and mouth was so desperate to betray his mind all of a sudden. But despite all that was said, he was determined to not let this happen no matter what it takes. Or at least that’s what he thought, but at the same time his hands were already lifting his t-shirt up over his head.

“Uh wait…” Sunggyu stopped him.

“Huh?”

“Actually…to be honest, I’m not that comfortable with the whole showering together thing, so…”

Woohyun knew this was his chance to finally get out of this. “Oh don’t worry about it. Dongwoo, Sungyeol and I shower together all the time!”

Woohyun wanted to die…he really did.

“R-Really?” Sunggyu seemed surprised by this, but Woohyun was too caught up in his own thoughts to notice. “You shower together…all the time?” Sunggyu was now slightly eyeing Woohyun’s newly shirtless upper body.

“Uh yeah I guess.” Woohyun bit his lip, as he stared down at his red t-shirt that was now in his hands. He was still struggling to come up with some kind of way out of this whole situation, completely oblivious to the fact that Sunggyu was slowly inching closer to him.

“H-How often exactly?” Sunggyu questioned, not even bothering to be subtle anymore, as his eyes attempted to inspect every inch of Woohyun’s exposed skin.

He didn’t like it. The fact that Woohyun looked like that. That he showered with other people when he looked like that. He didn’t like the idea that others got the chance to see Woohyun’s body like that. Especially those crotch vacuuming weirdoes.

“Oh I don’t know…maybe— Woohyun looked up and realized Sunggyu was right in front of him. “Uh hyung what’re you…?” Woohyun paused, when Sunggyu grabbed the t-shirt right out of his hands.

“D-Do you always do things like that with Dongwoo and Sungyeol?”

“Huh?” Woohyun blinked. “Uh I guess…we’re pretty touchy, you know skin ship and all that?” Sunggyu took a step forward, causing Woohyun to back away slightly.

“Why are you backing away?” Sunggyu grabbed onto Woohyun’s wrist.

“I-I don’t know…” Woohyun hesitated for a moment before matching Sunggyu’s gaze.

“You just said you were touchy with your other friends so…”

“Y-Yeah, but I thought hyung doesn’t like that kind of stuff.” Woohyun stared up at Sunggyu, confused by the elder’s actions.

“I-I don’t mind it…with certain people.” Sunggyu replied shyly.

Woohyun was about to respond when his phone started ringing from its place on the nightstand. He dodged Sunggyu’s gaze and raced to answer it.

Sunggyu sighed, clearly annoyed by the interruption, as he watched Woohyun answer his phone. He was really starting to get concerned about himself. He realized that he was just about to tell Woohyun that he wanted to do with skin ship with him. Sunggyu was definitely not someone who would want to touch other men, but Woohyun was different. He gave Sunggyu these…feelings. Like he just couldn’t resist when Woohyun was being adorable and sometimes when he wasn’t even trying. How Woohyun always seemed to be on Sunggyu’s side, made him feel comfortable and safe. And the fact that he cooked so well didn’t hurt either.

He gazed at Woohyun, who was still on the phone, for a moment.

“Oh no…” Sunggyu thought to himself, after realizing he was staring. “This isn’t good…”

++

“Ahjussi…Gross ahjussi…” Woohyun faintly heard a little voice calling, and someone tapping him. He struggled to open his eyes, when he felt soft fingers poke his cheek. He groaned slightly, before finally opening his eyes, to see Hyun Su sitting on top of him. “Wake up ahjussi!”

“…What?” Woohyun sighed, sitting up slightly and running a hand through his hair. “Hyun Su…? You’re awake?”

“Gyu appa won’t wake up!” Hyun Su pouted.

Woohyun turned to his side to see Sunggyu with his arms resting on the pillow above his head, one leg out, and his mouth slightly open, dead to the world. Woohyun thought it was a pretty adorable scene. That is until Hyun Su suddenly belly flopped right on top of Sunggyu, shaking him out of his peaceful slumber.

“Go away…” Sunggyu grumbled, turning over onto his stomach and burying his face into his pillow.

“Gyu appa wake up!” Hyun Su tugged at Sunggyu’s pants a little too forcefully, and ended up pulling them down to Sunggyu’s thighs, revealing his leopard print boxer briefs. Woohyun’s jaw dropped at the sight and attempted to stop Hyun Su from causing any more damage.

“H-Hyun Su, stop it!” Woohyun hissed, forcing himself to not gawk at Sunggyu’s wild choice in underwear. Hyun Su giggled mischievously and rushed out of the room as fast as his little legs could carry him.

“It’s cold!” Sunggyu groaned, eyes still closed, completely clueless to the situation at hand. He reached out for the blanket but ended up grabbing onto Woohyun’s thigh.

“W-Wait hyung that’s not—!” Woohyun tried to move, but Sunggyu was relentless, determined to obtain his missing blanket. He felt around blindly, unintentionally sliding his hand up Woohyun’s inner thigh. Woohyun only made a very weak attempt to stop him, because, he was secretly enjoying it…a lot.

But Sunggyu soon gave up on his blind search for the blanket, and rolled over, falling off the bed with a loud oomph. And Woohyun quickly released a deep breath he didn’t know he was holding in.

Sunggyu sat up on the floor, looking around, completely confused.

“What…?” He squinted, scratching the back of his head lazily and yawning. He glanced down. “Why are my pants—?”

“I’m going to take a shower!” Woohyun announced and rushed into the bathroom to save himself from having to explain what happened.

++

After Woohyun finished with his shower he walked into the living room to see Sunggyu and Hyun Su lounging on the couch, still in their pajamas.

“Woohyunnie appa, we want food~” They both announced, sending Woohyun their aegyo filled smiles. Woohyun almost lost it at the unexpected sight of Sunggyu’s adorable and somewhat shameless aegyo.

He cleared his throat, attempting to keep his cool. “Hyung, why didn’t you make Hyun Su any breakfast?”

“He only wants to eat your cooking.” Sunggyu shrugged helplessly.

“I want gross ahjussi’s cooking.” Hyun Su smiled cutely.

“Aigoo~” Woohyun patted him on the head. “My Hyun Su is too cute! Of course appa will make you something~”

“What about me?” Sunggyu pouted. “I’m hungry too.”

“H-Hyung can make his own food.” Woohyun mumbled, still shaken up by Sunggyu’s deadly aegyo and headed for the kitchen.

Sunggyu, however, didn’t expect such a cold response. He patted Hyun Su on the head. “Wait here Hyun Su. Appa has to go talk to gross ahjussi ok?” Hyun Su nodded and continued watching his morning cartoons.

Sunggyu walked into the kitchen to see Woohyun grabbing the egg carton from the fridge.

“What’s wrong?” Sunggyu asked.

“Nothing.” Woohyun replied nonchalantly, his back turned to Sunggyu.

“Really?” Sunggyu eyed him skeptically.

“Yeah.” Woohyun nodded, concentrating on cracking eggs into a bowl.

“Are you really not going to make me any breakfast?” Sunggyu pouted and tugged at Woohyun’s arm. “I’m really hungry though…”

“Hm…” Woohyun pretended to think about it. “Maybe if hyung does something for me…”

Sunggyu’s eyes lit up. “What is it? I’ll do anything.” He replied, with an innocent expression.

Woohyun stepped closer with a grin, secretly enjoying the power he had over the older man. “Anything?”

“Uh sure?” Sunggyu replied, coolly. Woohyun leaned in.

“Hyung,” He whispered in Sunggyu’s ear. “Has to call me Woohyun oppa~”

“What?” Sunggyu snorted. “You’re joking right?” Woohyun was going to admit he was kidding, but then Sunggyu said, “If anything, you should be calling me oppa.”

“What?” Woohyun frowned. “Why?”

“Not even oppa, but appa I should say.” Sunggyu joked.

“A-Appa? Why would I call you that?”

“Because,” Sunggyu sighed. “Its like I’m taking care of two children here, you and Hyun Su.”

“T-Two children?” Woohyun pouted. “I’m not a kid hyung!”

“You kind of are though.”

“Hyun Su’s the only child here!” Woohyun exclaimed. “I’m an adult hyung! I’m your equal!” Woohyun was not happy one bit. He really didn’t want Sunggyu out of all people to treat him like a child.

“I’ll show you.” Woohyun pointed a finger at him. “That I’m not a kid.”

“Ok whatever you say.” Sunggyu grinned and patted Woohyun on the head. He didn’t really think of Woohyun as a child, but he just found it amusing how the younger man had gotten so fired up.

++

“Oppa, I love your music!” A fangirl called, as Dongwoo walked down the street, his trusty backpack strapped over his shoulders.

“Thanks!” Dongwoo smiled and waved at her, before heading inside a restaurant. He and Hoya had agreed to meet for lunch to discuss the album and the tracks they were working on. Dongwoo had studied Woohyun’s playbook that morning, and prepared himself for how he was going to find out if Hoya was interested in him. And just in case, he had brought the playbook with him, and stored it safely in his backpack.

Hoya was already sitting at a table in a circular booth waiting for him. Dongwoo grinned and went to join him.

“Hey, did you wait long?” Dongwoo greeted as he sat down next to Hoya.

“No, just got here.” Hoya replied.

“That’s good.” Dongwoo nodded, and looked around. “This place is nice.”

“Yeah, apparently a lot of celebrities eat here.” Hoya told him. “There’s this legendary rapper who frequents this place.”

“Really?!” Dongwoo’s eyes went wide. “Who is it?!”

“He’s really talented and handsome.” Hoya explained straight faced. “His name is Hoya.”

“Pfft what?” Dongwoo shoved him playfully, and laughed. Hoya grinned, feeling quite proud of his dumb joke and how much it made Dongwoo laugh.

“So anyways—.” Suddenly Dongwoo’s cell phone started ringing. Dongwoo glanced at it to see who it was.

“Ah just a second, it’s Woohyun.” Dongwoo smiled at Hoya before answering. “Hi Woohyun! How’s it going with the new place?”

“Its fine, but do you have the playbook with you?” Woohyun sounded serious.

“Uh yeah…” Dongwoo glanced at Hoya. “But why—?”

“Ok good! Open it up and—.”

“Just wait a second!” Dongwoo turned to Hoya. “Sorry, I need to do something. I’ll be right back.” He grabbed his backpack and scurried off into the bathroom. “Ok…” Dongwoo breathed after entering the bathroom and taking out the leather bound playbook. “Now what was it?”

“Go to the noona section.” Woohyun instructed. “It’s the first part of the book.” Dongwoo did as he was told. “But Woohyun, what are you doing meeting noonas? I thought you were supposed to be filming with Sunggyu hyung—.”

“T-This is relevant to that!” Woohyun interrupted. “Now go to chapter three.”

“Chapter three…how to seduce noona?” Dongwoo read the title of the chapter. “Uh…how exactly is this related to—?”

“Just take pictures of the whole chapter and send it to me ok?”

“But—.”

“Thanks Dongwoo, bye.”

++

After Dongwoo sent the pictures, Woohyun sat in the bedroom and immediately scanned through them. Since Sunggyu didn’t see him as an adult, Woohyun planned to prove him wrong on that, by borrowing his own tips on how to seduce noonas.

Now Woohyun wasn’t intending to seduce Sunggyu by any means. He just wanted to show Sunggyu that he had another side to him—a mature, adult side.

Because apparently to Woohyun, being mature meant being seductive.
