--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He couldn’t help but stare at them. His eyes took in as much as he possibly could, even when the one he was staring at was constantly talking and waving a single hand in front of his eyes. He just couldn’t help it! What was going on? What is this?!
That arm that was still slung around Young Jae’s neck was the first thing that Sungyeol had noticed when he had heard the door opening. Sungyeol continued staring as he blocked any and all entry through the front door. After some time had passed, Sungyeol’s eyes finally flickered as he now focused on Daehyun’s face. The first thing that came to mind was..
“Wow.. you’re cute.” (S)
“H-Hyung!” (YJ) Daehyun grinned a bit, taking the compliment a little too well. Myungsoo quickly noticed this and instantly nudged at Daehyun’s side, causing him to turn and give a quick glare to Myungsoo. Quickly, everyone introduced themselves before they all stepped in.
“Did you already eat hyung?” (YJ)
“No, I didn’t. Are you going to cook?” (S)
“Well.. I already ate...” (YJ)
“Good! I’ll have some of that stuff you cooked yesterday!” (S)
“O-Okay..” (YJ) Young Jae quickly made his way into the kitchen, leaving Sungyeol with the four other people. Well, at least he knew one of them.
“Myungsoo! Why haven’t you come around more often?” (S)
“Why do I have to?” (L)
“I miss your pretty face!” (S)
“Then that’s exactly why I don’t come over.” (L)
“Ehhh..? Because you don’t like it when I see your face?” (S)
“No. I don’t like seeing yours.” (L) Myungsoo chuckled as he sat down, crossing one leg over the other. Sungyeol began rambling on and on, saying something about how Myungsoo should respect his elders and that it was completely rude of him to say such things. Myungsoo, however, wasn’t really paying attention since both him and Sungyeol said the same thing every time he came over.
“I wonder why Young Jae wanted to come back home.” (SY) Sooyoung looked around, a bit curious. The house was really pretty and decorated with all sorts of trinkets. Sooyoung’s eyes widened as she gasped happily and got to her feet, making her way over to an assortment of picture frames that basically littered the entire surface of one of the various tables in the room. “Awww! Baby Young Jae!” (SY)
For some odd reason, Daehyun’s interest peaked as he looked over where Sooyoung was squealing and going ‘Awww’ basically every second. Myungsoo chuckled as he looked over at Daehyun. However, he forced himself from getting up from his seat. He just absolutely refused to get u- “AWWW! HE HAS SUCH A CUTE TUSHY!” (SY)
Almost instantly, Daehyun got up from his seat and peaked from behind Sooyoung, looking at the baby pictures. “Where? Where?” (DH)
Sooyoung looked over at her shoulder with a bit of a worried and disgusted look on her face. “What made you get up so fast?” (SY)
“N-Nothing..” (DH) Daehyun took a step back, but he could hear chuckling behind him. He turned to see not only Myungsoo, but Sungyeol AND Yongguk were chuckling also. He glared at the three before he turned back to the photos, attempting to pretend that he was more interested in the pictures rather than.. what he heard Sooyoung say.
After skimming through the photos, his eyes finally landed on the picture that Sooyoung had been talking about. He instantly turned red, but he just couldn’t move his eyes away. Sure, it was a baby’s bottom but.. it was still Young Jae. No, wait! What was he thinking?! He can’t be serious! Instantly, Daehyun pulled away and sat back down.
“Mister ert is red now.” (BY) Daehyun glared at Yongguk, but soon the other two were chuckling. Sooyoung, now curious, turned and looked at Daehyun’s face before a huge smile graced her own face.
“Kyeopta!” (SY)
“S-Shut up!” (DH)
“Um..” (YJ) Daehyun turned and nearly fell out of his seat when he noticed Young Jae standing behind him. He quickly tried to act natural, though he couldn’t help but stare at him as he spoke. “I just wanted to know if anyone wanted anything to eat or drink.. maybe just a light snack or.. something?” (YJ)
“Some chips would be nice.. oh, and a soda.” (BY)
“I think I’ll have some chips too.. and some water.” (L)
“I’ll just come help you Young Jae.” (SY)
“Okay.. um.. do y-you want anything, Daehyun..?” (YJ) The entire time, Daehyun had been staring up at Young Jae with wide eyes. Young Jae was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable, turning red as no matter how many times he looked at Daehyun, he couldn’t keep eye contact. “Um.. Daehyun..?” (YJ)
Daehyun instantly snapped out of his trance before he tried to think of what Young Jae had said earlier. “Uh.. I-I’ll have anything. A-Anything you have to offer. Y-Yea.. that.” (DH)
“Oh.. well, okay then.” (YJ) Young Jae turned, but stood in place as he tried to think of what to get Daehyun. Daehyun couldn’t help but stare at that bottom that he had seen bare as a baby. Just as Young Jae was about to turn back around and ask Daehyun about what he wanted again, he instantly jumped forward the second he felt a hand take hold of his bottom. He turned, with wide eyes and red creeping on his face as he looked at an equally wide eyed Daehyun, whose hand was frozen in place.
“I-I didn’t.. I mean, there.. was.. uh.. A bug! Yea! There was a huge bug on your and I had to kill it so I reached forward and I got it! Y-Yea, t-that’s why that.. uh.. happened! W-Well, look at the time. I.. uh.. gotta go to the bathroom! I’ll be right back.” (DH)
Daehyun jumped to his feet, quickly making his way out of the room and down a random hallway in an attempt to look for the bathroom. While he was off searching for the bathroom, Myungoo and Yongguk were both laughing while Sooyoung quickly pulled Young Jae off to the kitchen.
“D-Don’t mind that Daehyun. Maybe there really was a bug on you.” (SY)
“Y-Yea..” (YJ) Even though he liked Daehyun, Young Jae didn’t really know if he could believe him. Young Jae saw his head and from what he saw, there wasn't a single trace of a bug being there. If it really was a big bug as Daehyun had said, well.. there would have been a lot more evidence to show. Either way, he wasn't sure about this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took some guessing and randomly opening each and every door, but Daehyun had finally found the bathroom. Daehyun turned the faucet, soaking his hands in the running water before splashing his face several times with water. “I.. I can’t believe I did that..” (DH)
He looked at himself in the mirror, furrowing his eyebrows a bit. He knew better than that! Since when has he ever actually done something as erted as that?! Maybe he was just ually frustrated. Sure, he’s never had before, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t become ually frustrated, right? Right! It made perfect sense! Once he dried his hands and face, he had only taken a single step out of the bathroom before he felt a hand take a hold of his ear and drag him along, further away from the living room. Once they were at a good enough distance, the hand finally let go of Daehyun’s ear.
“Y-YAH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!” (DH) Daehyun rubbed his poor ear as he finally stood up straight, staring angrily at the male that currently stood in front of him. Sungyeol had his arms crossed as he had a slight pout and his own eyebrows were furrowed as he stared back at Daehyun.
“You can’t touch me baby brother in such a way! He’s still innocent!” (S)
“I SAID that there was a bug on his pants!” (DH)
“Yea, right! I was watching you the entire time!” (S) Before Daehyun could say anything, Sungyeol had raised a single finger up to him as he closed his eyes and looked away. “I do not want to hear your excuses. If you are going to touch my baby brother in such a way, you must do it AFTER you two start dating!” (S)
“I-I’m not interested in your brother!” (DH) Sungyeol looked at Daehyun before he scofffed and looked away once more.
“Yea yea yea. That’s what they all say.” (S) Sungyeol walked off, leaving a very irritated and confused Daehyun behind to continually rub his poor ear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So.. do you really like Daehyun?” (SY) Young Jae looked up from his cooking as Sooyoung was off to the side, preparing a tray full of snacks and drinks. Young Jae turned red as he smiled sheepishly, looking back down at the food that he was cooking.
“Y-Yea.. I.. I do..” (YJ) Sooyoung couldn’t help but smile happily as she made her way next to Young Jae and placed her hands on Young Jae’s shoulders, causing him to jump a bit.
“Don’t worry! I will try my very best to help you get together with Daehyun!” (SY)
“A-Are you sure..? I-I mean.. I don’t want it to be any trouble and..” (YJ)
“No, it’s alright! You two were made for each other! I just know it!” (SY) Sooyoung gave a quick hug to Young Jae before she went back over to the tray to finish preparing it. Young Jae looked over at Sooyoung before he ce more to the food, smiling a bit. They were made for each other? Young Jae really would have liked it if that was true.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daehyun went back into the living room, Yongguk giving a light smirk the second he saw him. Daehyun sat down, attempting to avoid any and all contact with the trio. Two were basically working against him while another was either promoting or attacking him. It was confusing and honestly, Daehyun was getting a bit frustrated by it all.
“Daehyun.” (BY)
“Don’t start, Yongguk.” (DH) Daehyun really hoped that this one time, just this one time, Yongguk wouldn’t continue with what he had in mind. In fact, he hoped that Yongguk would just become mute or something. But did such hopes ever come true? Apparently.. this one time, it did.
“Alright. I won’t say anything.” (BY) Yongguk sat back in his chair as Daehyun looked over at him, squinting his eyes in suspicion. Yongguk must have been plotting something, but Daehyun just could never figure it out.
Sooyoung and Young Jae entered the room with two trays of chips and drinks. They both placed it down on the coffee table before Sungyeol got to his feet. “Young Jae, Daehyun.. please follow me.” (S)
They both looked and watched as Sungyeol began walking towards the hallway. He turned and gave a swift, angry looking motion for them to follow before he began walking again. Daehyun and Young Jae both looked at each other before they soon followed after Sungyeol. Once they caught up with him, he motioned for them to enter.. the closet? "I need you two to get something at the top of the closet shelves." (S)
"Why can't you do it hyung..?" (YJ)
"BECAUSE I.. uh.. got hurt earlier! Yea, that. So, go get it for me." (S) Despite their hesitance and obvious suspicions, they entered the closet and before long.. they found themselves locked inside.
“Y-YAH! LET US OUT OF HERE!” (DH) Daehyun banged on the door, but all he could hear from the outside was hysteric laughter. After whatever time had passed, Daehyun had finally given up banging on the door and yelling for their release. Sadly, there wasn’t a light in this closet, so everything was currently dark.
“Yah.. Young Jae, are you alright?” (DH) Daehyun turned around, though it proved to be a bit difficult with how small the space was. He reached forward, attempting to locate Young Jae.. though, he soon heard Young Jae let out a light gasp.
“I-I’m sorry.. Y-You caught me by surprise.” (YJ) Their eyes were taking its sweet time to adjust to the dark, though that may be because of the small stream of light that was coming in from the crack at the bottom of the door.
“Do you have any idea why Sungyeol locked us in here?” (DH) Daehyun really hoped that Young Jae had an answer. Any adequate answer would have been completely, and totally fine for Daehyun. However..
“I.. don’t really know. He’s always like this..” (YJ) That was not the answer that Daehyun was looking for. Judging by that answer alone, it just proved that Sungyeol was just some nutcase that got a kick in locking people in closets. “Though.. this is the first time he’s locked me in a closet..” (YJ) Well, there went that possibly answer.
“Well, what now?” (DH)
“W-We.. We could.. get to.. know each other..” (YJ) Young Jae bit his bottom lip, praying that Daehyun would agree. He really wanted to get to know the man that he supposedly ‘liked’ and maybe he could figure out why he liked him in the process.
“Hm.. Okay. Can we sit though?” (DH)
“Y-Yes.. okay.” (YJ) The two of them slowly sat down, moving things here and there in an attempt to create space. The lower they were, the easier the found it to actually be able to see where they were sitting and what they were touching. Although.. “D-Daehyun.. C-Can you move your hand..? I-It’s touching my thigh..” (YJ)
“O-Oh.. sorry..” (DH) Once Daehyun’s hand was removed from Young Jae’s thigh, he looked around a bit before his eyes landed back onto Young Jae’s face. Well, he assumed it was Young Jae’s face. Actually, he really hoped that it was Young Jae’s face and not anyone else’s. He would have definitely freaked out if someone else was in the closet. “So.. what do you want to know about me?” (DH)
The pair slowly began learning about one another, starting off with things like favorite colors, favorite animals, but oddly enough.. they couldn’t figure out Daehyun’s favorite food. The first thing that came up was cheesecake, but then he would instantly just continue naming off all types of foods before Young Jae finally cut him off. All the time.. it seemed like they were liking each other more.
Of course for Daehyun, he only liked him more as a ‘friend’. After all, there was just no possible way that he was liking him as more than a friend, right? It wouldn’t make any sense whatsoever if he was actually falling for Yoo Young Jae. Though.. even when he couldn’t fully make out Young Jae’s features, he couldn’t help but bite his bottom lip and just slowly reach out until..
“D-Daehyun! W-W-W-W-What are you doing?!” (YJ) Daehyun’s hand froze as it was now holding onto Young Jae’s cheek, his thumb in midway . Young Jae’s face was completely red, though it wasn’t really seen thanks to the dark room. Still, that didn’t mean that Young Jae wasn’t entirely embarrassed by this!
“I-I.. I don’t know.. Do you.. want me to stop?” (DH) Young Jae’s mind instantly began going crazy, if it wasn’t already. Was this really happening? Was this really going on? Young Jae couldn’t seem to comprehend this, but it really was happening right now! Young Jae stiffened even more when Daehyun just barely budged his thumb. He.. He didn’t know whether he liked it or not.
“I-I-I.. I don’t know..” (YJ) Daehyun smiled a bit as his thumb continued moving once more. Young Jae felt his face definitely heating up even more as the motion continued. His entire being was starting to heat up from this simple action and he.. he was actually liking it.
“You’re skin is really soft... I.. I really like touching it..” (DH) Young Jae’s eyes widened a bit as he tried hard not to smile. He really hadn’t expected Daehyun to say something like this to him.
“T-T-Thank you..” (YJ) While Young Jae was distracted, Daehyun slowly began leaning forward. At first, Young Jae couldn’t tell at all that Daehyun was moving forward in the dark. However, it didn’t take long for him to realize what he was doing. “W-W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” (YJ)
Daehyun stopped his advance, as he slowly let his hand drop and move away from Young Jae. “I’m sorry..” (DH) He moved away, trying to keep his distance from Young Jae. He hadn’t meant to do what he was about to attempt, but it just.. seemed to happen. Daehyun really felt like he should watch over his actions more.
Young Jae, on the other hand, was mentally abusing himself. He had wanted it, but because it was so unexpected, he had just yelled out as a reflex. “N-No! Daehyun.. I..” (YJ) Young Jae fiddled with the hem of his shirt as he bit his bottom lip. Had he just pushed Daehyun away by doing what he just did? How was he going to fix it this time? “Daehyun.. I.. I didn’t mean to..” (YJ)
“No.. you don’t have to explain. I’ll make sure to keep my distance from now on.” (DH)
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” (SY) Both Daehyun and Young Jae jumped in their spots as they looked at the locked door. Sooyoung slowly slide down the door, despair kicking in. “YOU CAN’T! YOU HAVE TO BE TOGETHER! THAT’S HOW THE DRAMA’S ALWAYS GO!” (SY)
“YAH! LET US OUT OF HERE ALREADY!” (DH) Daehyun began banging on the door again, causing Sooyoung to pull away since it was basically hurting her head. Sooyoung kicked the door before crossing her arms and moving away. Sungyeol unlocked the door, the door soon opening and causing Daehyun and Young Jae’s eyes to hurt from the sudden impact of light. Luckily, it wasn’t too bad thanks to the crack of light at the bottom of the opening.
Getting up from their seats, Daehyun and Young Jae noticed that the others had been sitting around by the door and listening to their conversation. Daehyun glared at each and every one of them before he walked back into the living room. Everyone had let out a disappointed sigh as Young Jae finally stepped out of the closet. Myungsoo wrapped an arm around Young Jae’s shoulders, rubbing them as he looked at Young Jae.
“Don’t worry. He’ll like you sooner or later.” (L)
“But.. I feel like.. I.. I messed up.. right..?” (YJ)
“It’s nothing we can’t fix and anyway, you’re not ready, so don’t worry about it.” (L) Myungsoo led Young Jae back into the kitchen while everyone else went into the living room. Young Jae’s eyes widened as he quickly made his way over to the stove. Thankfully, the stove had been turned off before the food that he had been cooking had burned. “Young Jae.. I have a bit of a plan.. and you have to try your best to take advantage of it, alright?” (L)
Young Jae turned to look at Myungsoo and slowly nodded. From there, Myungsoo spoke in a hushed tone to Young Jae, telling him of the plan that he had in mind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So..” (BY)
“Don’t.” (DH)
“WHY are you keeping your distance from Young Jae?! You were so close!” (SY) Daehyun sighed. He knew that if it wasn’t Yongguk, then it was going to be Sooyoung that said something. Either way, he knew that they wouldn’t stop pestering until he actually gave them an answer.
“Because he was uncomfortable.” (DH)
“No! You were probably going too fast for him!” (SY)
“Wait. Too fast for what? What do you think we were doing in there?!” (DH) Sure, Daehyun knew exactly what they were doing, but he was pretty sure that with Sooyoung’s mind.. she was thinking something far worse.
“You were trying to force yourself on him!” (SY)
“YAH!” (DH) Daehyun stared a bit angrily at Sooyoung, though it was sort of true.. in a way. No, not really. Daehyun was going in slowly for a.. nope. No he wasn’t. Since when does he ever do such a thing with males? “I wasn’t doing such a thing because sucha thing doesn't exist!.” (DH)
“But you even said that his skin felt nice!” (SY)
“So?! What if I just happened to brush up against his arm or something?!” (DH)
“You’re both wearing long sleeves!” (SY) Daehyun grumbled as he crossed his arms and slouched in his seat. Either way, he was just going to have to keep his distance from Young Jae from now on. Young Jae clearly didn’t like what he had been doing and, well.. he wasn’t even sure himself if he even liked Young Jae in such a way. Maybe he should just ask Yoona out already. He did have a sort of crush on her and it’s not like Sooyoung was going to be able to chase her away, right?
“YAH! JUNG DAEHYUN! ARE YOU LISTENING?!” (SY) Daehyun finally looked up at Sooyoung, whom was now standing in front of him with her hands on her hips.
“Aish.. what do you want?” (DH)
Before Sooyoung could answer, Young Jae and Myungsoo had finally entered the living room and placed the food on the coffee table. Once the food was safely on the table, Myungsoo had left the living room to go get plates and spoons. Young Jae turned to Daehyun, fiddling with the hem of his shirt once more as he looked down towards the ground. “I.. I finished cooking.” (YJ)
“Great.” (DH) As happy as Daehyun was to hear that food was ready, he still didn’t know how to act around Young Jae. Maybe.. he should just act normally around him. Yea, it made sense. After all, it’s not like they were dating or anything. Sure, something awkward had occurred between them, but that didn’t mean that the couldn’t be friends.
Finally, Myungsoo came back with the plates and spoons and handed them all out. Everyone all got to their knees as they pulled up to the coffee table and began getting their food. “H-How do you like it.. Daehyun?” (YJ)
Daehyun looked up after taking a single bite, his expression making it seem like he had been caught doing something bad. Of course, that didn’t stop him from feeling comfortable about talking with his mouth full. “Is good.” (DH) Well, that’s what Young Jae assumed he had said. It was a bit hard to hear with his mouth full of food after all.
Young Jae smiled a bit as he began eating also. Myungsoo did say that a way to Daehyun’s heart was through his stomach, or at least.. that’s what Sooyoung had told Myungsoo. Young Jae really hoped that he was at least one step closer to being able to win over Daehyun. Sure, he didn’t really understand this while dating business, but with Myungsoo and apparently Sooyoung’s help, he felt like he might actually stand a chance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After everyone ate and had a small chat, to which Sooyoung and Sungyeol did most of the talking, it was finally time for everyone to go. Well, it was mostly because Jessica would non-stop call Daehyun to check where he is every five minutes or so. Could she help it though? She was the only one whom could watch over her little brother after all. So, once everyone had their things gathered, the group left, leaving Young Jae and Sungyeol all alone in their house.
“That Daehyun.. he is something else.” (S) Young Jae looked over at Sungyeol after closing the front door, a bit curious as to what he meant by that. Though, he also was tempted not to ask him what he meant. Either way, he was going to find out. “He is cute, yes.. but his personality.. he’s a stubborn one.” (S)
“He.. He might not be interested in men..” (YJ)
“HAH! AND I’M NOT INTERESTED IN MEN EITHER! Yah, Young Jae. That is definitely not an answer in this situation. That Myungsoo though.. he always has something planned in that head of his. What does he have planned for this?” (S)
“Um..” (YJ) Young Jae thought for a moment. Should he really tell Sungyeol what Myungsoo had planned? No, probably not. Myungsoo told him not to tell anyone since he didn’t want the plan being found out by Daehyun. “He.. he didn’t tell me anything.” (YJ)
“Aish.. that Myungsoo. He’s always a mystery!” (S) Sungyeol collapsed onto the couch in a dramatic fashion, placing a single arm over his eyes. “Oh, dear god or gods or entities that reside anywhere! Please help my baby brother get a relationship! He is so useless by himself!” (S)
“H-Hyung!” (YJ) Sungyeol sat up as he chuckled a bit, seeing the pouting Young Jae with his arms crossed. He quickly got to his feet and stretched a bit, acting as if nothing really happened.
“Well, I hope things go well.” (S)
“Me too..” (YJ) Young Jae spoke his words softly to where Sungyeol couldn’t hear them. He just had to wait patiently until Saturday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“YAH! DAEHYUN! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!” (J) Jessica instantly took a hold of Daehyun’s cheeks, stretching them here and there the second the front door had been closed. “I have been worried sick!” (J)
Somehow, Daehyun had managed to pull Jessica’s death grip off of him as he rubbed his poor cheeks and glared at Jessica. “YAH! NOONA! IT’S NOT EVEN NIGHT YET!” (DH)
“YAH! DON’T YELL AT ME!” (J) Jessica placed a single hand on her hip, turning just slightly so that she could point at the dining table. “Look at all that food I prepared! You know how long I had been slaving away over a hot stove to make sure that a meal was placed into your belly?!” (J)
“I already ate!” (DH)
“That doesn’t mean that you can’t eat more! Now go and eat little mister or I’ll make sure that your cheeks become removable!” (J) Daehyun grumbled as he slowly made his way over to the dining table. Despite his previous annoyance, once he was set down in front of food, his face instantly lit up and had started eating before Jessica even got to the table. She only chuckled a bit as she sat down across from him and began eating as well.
“So, how was your day?” (J) Daehyun said something that was completely and entirely, not understandable. Jessica sighed as she pushed the thought of trying to figure out what he had said. She knew by now not to ask Daehyun something while he was eating. After all, she has lived with him his entire life.
