Back & Forth

Let's Love (GRI oneshots)

Seungri was lying on Jiyong's lap in Jiyong's bed as Seungri played with Jiyong's fingers. They had been silent for nearly twenty minutes, just enjoying the other's company when Seungri looked up at Jiyong with huge eyes. Eyes that wanted something.

"What? What do you want?" Jiyong asked with a smile as he interlocked his fingers with Seungri's. "I know that look."

"Our concert isn't for another week, so do you want to go on vacation? It's the perfect time to relax and we'll have so much fun! We can go to Busan!" Seungri was gazing up at Jiyong, clearly excited, as Jiyong could see that he was planning everything in his head. Jiyong sighed and took the hand that wasn't holding Seungri's to push back the hair that was in Seungri's face.

"I'm sorry, Seungri. I'm going to Paris for a Chanel fashion show." He could see Seungri's face fall for half a second, but then he was smiling again.

"Then I'll go to Paris with you. I've been there before you know." Seungri squeezed Jiyong's hand and smiled, but noticed the way Jiyong was looking at him. "What? Can't I go?"

"Seungri, you won't feel comfortable around them and 'm sure you'll be bored. And you said you didn't like Paris the last time you went." Seungri sharply sat up at those words and separated their hands, staring intently at Jiyong.

"I'll just go around myself and wait for you when you come back from the show. And last time I got sick so of course I didn't enjoy it." Seungri wanted to be with Jiyong desperately but he could already tell by the way Jiyong was staring at him, that he wasn't go to budge.

He took Seungri's wrist and pulled him a little closer, placing a light kiss on his mouth, but Seungri didn't react to it at all. "I'm sorry, Seungri. But we'll see each other when we come back, okay?"

Seungri's shoulders suddenly felt heavy and he looked away from Jiyong. "Yeah, I guess."

***

Seungri hadn't moved from his bedroom since Jiyong left to Paris and he couldn't help but glare at the pictures Jiyong had uploaded when he arrived in the city. Jiyong had texted him and Seungri had tries his best to ignore them, but he ultimately gave in and wrote back, telling him to be safe. Seungri was just about to turn off his phone when he recieved a text from his friend Jonghoon.

Hey, since your schedule is free, do you want to go to Busan?

Seungri sat up and hastily typed back a reply and jumped out of bed, looking for his bag. He heard his phone vibrating and he picked it up, without looking at the caller ID. "So when are you leaving?" He was throwing random shirts and jeans into his travel bag, waiting for an answer, when he heard Jiyong's confused voice on the other end.

"Seungri, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, hyung. Sorry. I didn't check my phone. I thought it was Jonghoon calling. I'll call you later okay?" And Seungri hung up the phone and called Jonghoon to sort out their plans for their trip.

***

Jiyong's mind couldn't help but remind him of Seungri hanging up on him without any apology and he had called Seungri a few times, but each call went straight to voicemail, which made Jiyong upset. He knew that Seungri had been hurt that Jiyong told him not to come to Paris with him, but he had done it in Seungri's best interests. He didn't want him to have a terrible time again, even if that meant they were separated.

He tried to take his mind off of it by scrolling through the Korean gossip websites. He always mindlessly scrolled through the pages, just stopping here and there to read about an actress who had gotten married or an idol group that had caused some scandal, but this time Jiyong stopped because he saw Seungri. Pictures of Seungri with a bunch of people Jiyong didn't know, except for Jonghoon and Joonyoung and suddenly Jiyong realizes why Seungri had hung up on him before. He was going on vacation with his friends.

Jiyong didn't mind that Seungri was having fun, he was happy that he was enjoying his time off, but he was upset that Seungri hadn't told him anything about it. He had ignored Jiyong for the past couple of days and thinking about it made Jiyong even more upset. He quickly exited from the page and began to angrily type in the number of Seungri's phone.

"You better pick up the phone, maknae. You better..." Just as Jiyong was about to explode from hearing the ringing, Seungri picked up.

"Hello?" Jiyong could barely hear Seungri's voice because of the loud music in the background and Jiyong stood up from his chair, beginning to pace his hotel room. "Hello?"

"Seungri! I can barely hear you."

"Hyung? Hold on, I have to find somewhere quieter." As Jiyong waited, his pacing grew even faster and he began to bite at his bottom lip, waiting for the music to quiet down. "Hello?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to Busan?" Jiyong cut straight to the point, not wanting to delay anything.

He heard Seungri laugh a little. "I did tell you. I said I wanted to go to Busan for vacation. And once you left, Jonghoon invited me and I didn't want to be bored in my apartment so I'm here now."

"But you've been ignoring my calls."

"You called me? Maybe my phone was off." Jiyong was getting increasingly irritated at the way Seungri was answering him and he was just about to say something when Seungri cut him off. "Sorry Jiyong hyung. Someone's looking for me. I'll talk to you later."

With that Seungri hung up and Jiyong threw his phone onto his bed.

***

Seungri was really having the time of his life in Busan with his friends, but at times he missed Jiyong but he knew not to call him because he had hung up on him twice and there was no knowing how angry he was with Seungri, so he'd decided to just stay clear until the concert. So for now, he always checked Jiyong's instagram, scrolling through the pictures he had previously posted, but today there was a whole set of new updates and it was of Jiyong at the Chanel show, posing with different celebrities. For some reason, seeing the pictures madde Seungri jealous but he couldn't help but look over each one carefully. He wanted to call Jiyong and question him, but what would he ask? He had told Seungri he was going to a fashion show and it was inevitable that there would be celebrities there to take pictures with. Seungri sighed and turned off his phone when Jonghoon joined him.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing. Ah, can you believe it's our last day in Busan?" Seungri exaggeratedly breathed in, as if it were the best air he had encountered. "And I have the concert."

"Come on, you're going to Thailand. You're going to have a lot of fun!"

Seungri isn't sure what possesses him to say his next words, but they're out of his mouth before he can even think of taking them back. "Come with me! I know I have a few friends there but it'll be nice for you to come too."

Jonghoon looks unsure. "I don't know. I mean, I know your concert is for a couple of days but aren't hotels there expensive?"

"You can share a hotel with me! I get bored sometimes by myself anyway. It'll be fun! Please." Seungri used his best pleading eyes and even though Jonghoon tried to look away, he had already caved in.

"Fine. But you're sleeping on the floor."

***

When Jiyong arrived in Thailand, the first thing he thought of was calling Seungri. They hadn't spoken since that night Jiyong had asked him about not telling him about Busan and Jiyong knew Jonghoon was in Thailand with Seungri after his Instagram update. He waited until he had reached his hotel room and taken a well deserved shower before going to find Seungri.

He had asked their manager what room he was in and once he found it, he began to bang on the door. He couldn't help but be excited, thinking of seeing Seungri again after nearly a week and he began to rock back and forth on the balls of his feet, a huge grin splayed across his face that when the door opened, he was ready to run into the arms that opened them and he nearly did, until he realized that the person who had opened the door wasn't Seungri.

"Jonghoon...what are you doing here?"

"Oh Jiyong hyung. You're here to see Seungri right? He's in the bathroom right now." Jiyong stared at him warily. "Oh! Yeah, Seungri asked me to come to Bangkok with him and then said we could share a room. It's pretty great, being able to chill in this nice hotel room for free." Jonghoon laughed at that, not registering that Jiyong was glaring at him at the moment. He turned back into the hotel room, leaving the door open so Jiyong could follow.

Just as he walked in, he could hear the shower turn off and Jiyong sat on the bed slowly. "So do you sleep on the floor?"

"No. We share the bed. It's big enough for two. I told Seungri that he would have to sleep on the floor, so I bet he made sure that wouldn't happen." Again Jonghoon laughed, oblivious to Jiyong who was becoming more and more angry at the situation. Seungri and him shared a bed? At that moment, before Jiyong could say something he would regret, Seungri walked out of the bathroom, fully dressed and possibly ready to go out somewhere.

"Hyung! You're here!" Seungri ran over to Jiyong and hugged him with all of his strength, but Jiyong didn't hug him back as tightly. "You should have told me when you were coming. I already made plans with Jonghoon, but when I come back we can hang out, okay?" Seungri turned to Jonghoon who was already at the door, putting on his shoes and rushed over to him. They were both laughing and talking to each other animatedly and when Seungri slammed the door shut, all he could do was sit there, seething in anger.

***

"He just left, you guys. He just left! He gave me a hug and was on his way. After a week, all I get is a hug and go?" Jiyong laughed as he downed his fourth shot. Seunghyun, Daesung and Youngbae were crowded around him at the hotel bar, just silently listening as Jiyong complained about Seungri. It had been nearly an hour and he hadn't shut up about it.

"Well he did make the plans already. I don't think he could have just ditched them for you..." Youngbae trailed off as Jiyong shot him a look. "I'm just saying."

Seunghyun put a hand on Jiyong's arm before he could reach for his fifth shot. "Look, you're moping too much. If you're jealous-"

"I'm not jealous!" Jiyong shook off Seunghyun's hand and swallowed the fifth shot. "I'm not."

"Okay, well if you want maknae's attention, just do something for him. You know he's sensitive and he kind of just wanted to spend our vacation with you."

"But I had a legitimate reason for why I couldn't be with him!" The members all looked at each other and shrugged. "I had a reason..."

"I have an idea!" Daesung suddenly said. "I was watching this drama and-"

Youngbae shot it down. "Has anything good ever happened when ideas form from the sentence 'I was watching a drama'?"

"Hyung, please. The main girl had decided to set up this whole extravagant thing in her and her boyfriend's hotel room. There were balloons and flower petals and candles so she could propose to him! It was really sweet and Seungri loves stuff like that!" Daesung's smile faded for a second. "Although...he did dump her..."

Jiyong's head shot up. "What?!"

"But it's because he was a jerk, hyung! That won't happen to you!" Daesung slid away the rest of the drinks the bartender had placed in front of Jiyong. "Come on. Just do it. There's nothing you can lose by doing it. We'll go buy all the stuff and just ask our manager for the key and we'll help you set everything up."

"But what about Jonghoon? They're staying in the same room." Just saying the words made Jiyong cringe.

"Don't worry. We'll figure that out," Seunghyun said and motioned to the bartender for a glass of water. When he had it, he dipped his fingers in the glass and threw it on Jiyong's face. Jiyong nearly fell onto the floor, losing his balance on the bar stool and he looked up at Seunghyun like he was crazy. "You had five shots! We don't need you acting like a fool in front of Seungri...Even though you always act like one."

***

Jiyong wanted to pace the room so he could somehow ease his worries, but the members had bought so many stuffed bears and candles that he didn't want to accidentally cause a fire, so he just sat on the bed quietly, playing with the rings on his fingers as he waited for one of the members to text him to say that Seungri was on his way. But as the night went on, he was unsure of whether Seungri woul even come back. It was alreay two in the morning and the members hadn't texted him yet and he wondered if they had fallen asleep. Daesung definitely wasn't awake and Seunghyun was probably trying to stay awake, but failing miserably so the only person he could count on was Youngbae.

As the clock slowly reached three, Jiyong was ready to just put everything away, but he suddenly heard voices outside and Jiyong panicked. He ran to the door, swiftly avoiding knocking over a candle and pushed all of his weight onto the door.

"Huh? What's wrong with the door?" He felt Seungri slowly pushing it open but Jiyong was a little stronger than he looked, but he knew in a matter of time Seungri woul over power him. "Jonghoon, something's weird. Come and help-"

That's when Jiyong heard Youngbae's voice and he let out a breath of relief. "Jonghoon! There you are! I've been wanting to ask you something...Sorry, Seungri, I'm gonna just take him from you. Good night!"

"Hyung! It's three in the morning!" But Youngbae was already gone, as Jiyong heard Seungri let out a sigh and slowly push on the door. It could easily open now as Jiyong was on the floor behind it, all of his strength gone from having to keep it closed. When Seungri stepped in, he looked down at Jiyong, surprised.

"Hyung? What are you doing here?" Jiyong looked up at him, still trying to catch his breath and pointed toward the bed. Seungri looked to where he was pointing and let out an audible gasp. He shut the door and walked a little further into the room, taking in all the ridiculously cheesy things that the members had helped him set up. Seungri walked back to Jiyong, sitting on the floor next to him. "You did this?"

Jiyong shrugged. "With some help from the members."

"Why?"

"I was a little jealous. You were hanging out with Jonghoon so much and you were even sharing a room. You were sharing a bed!" Jiyong leaned his head against the wall and sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't let you come with me to Paris, but I know you wouldn't have had as much fun as you did in Busan. But next time, you can come with me, okay? I really missed you."

Seungri giggled and collapsed against Jiyong, laying his head on his shoulder. They stayed like that for a little while and Jiyong and Seungri both realized how much they'd missed the other and they let out a sigh of relief at the exact same time. Suddenly, Seungri sat up and squatted down, looking back at Jiyong. "Get on."

Jiyong was a little confused, lifting an eyebrow. "What?"

"Come on. Get on." Seungri took Jiyong's arm and put it over his shoulder.

Jiyong didn't have the energy to argue and he threw himself onto Seungri's back. When Seungri shifted to get used to Jiyong's weight, he spun around, laughing as he did and then walked over to the bed, placing Jiyong down. "You looked really tired, so I thought I should be your driver." Seungri took the spot on the bed next to Jiyong and smiled as he laid back, resting his head on the pillow.

"Thanks." Jiyong joined him, taking Seungri's arm and stretching it out, so Jiyong could rest his head on it. He grabbed Seungri's hand and interlocked their fingers, smiling at the contact.

"Oh! What about Jonghoon?" Seungri was about to sit up, but Jiyong held him back.

"He'll be fine. Youngbae will let him stay in his room. You just worry about me, alright?" Jiyong took their interlocked hands and held it to his lips, kissing Seungri's hand softly, smiling as he did. Seungri watched him and just accepted it. He pulled Jiyong in closer, holding him and rested his chin on top of Jiyong's head, finally content.

**I don't really know how expensive hotels are in Bangkok. I just assumed for the sake of the story.
