jihoondere: Now that you know my name it’s only fair that i know yours

shineetrash: haha true! my name’s kwon soonyoung……..

shineetrash: but you can call me soon ;D

 

(“Oh my god,” Jihoon murmurs, staring at his phone. “Why is he so cute.”)

shineetrash: imagine when we’re best friends and have our own collab channel...

shineetrash: i wonder how much abuse ill have to endure then D:

 

(Jihoon can’t help the flush that rises to his cheeks. So he’s not the only one who thought of making a channel together?)

 

jihoondere: Thinking ahead are you

shineetrash: hey you can’t blame me, i’ve been wanting to work with you for a while!

shineetrash: but anyway

shineetrash: i feel like we should get to know each other better so our collab doesnt feel like a business deal lol

shineetrash: so come at me i want to be a lee jihoon expert!!

jihoondere: Well I like pokemon and comic books, mainly marvel, i’ve liked music all my life

jihoondere: And my skin is perfect

shineetrash: well crap nice to meet you mr. humble!! -.-

shineetrash: hmm i like shinee :D hence the name lol. and i’m more of a dc guy tbh

jihoondere: Shinee’s alright i guess. I prefer exo

 

Hoshi-- no, Soonyoung’s response is an immature spam of angry emoticons.

 

Jihoon, whipped as he is, just finds it endearing.

 

They go back and forth like this for a while, just learning random things about each other. It's nice, and Jihoon is living the fanboy dream, so when Mingyu comes home with dinner he almost wants to shove the taller boy back out the door so his moment can last a little longer.

 

“Hyung I’m back with the food! Better hurry or I’ll eat it all~”

 

And knowing Mingyu, that's not an empty threat.  

 

jihoondere: Crap sorry my roommate just got back with dinner and i’m starving

jihoondere: But it was awesome talking to you

jihoondere: We can start actually working tomorrow if you’re free?

 

“Mingyu I swear to god don’t touch my food!”

 

Without waiting for a reply, Jihoon tosses his phone onto the desk and heads downstairs. Not even a minute later, his phone vibrates with a reply.

 

shineetrash: yeah np!

shineetrash: night, jihoonie<3

 

 

♡ ♡ ♡

 

 

jihoondere: I was thinking

shineetrash: oh no that can't be good :/

jihoondere: Stfu let me finish

jihoondere: We should probably do a song everybody’s into rn

shineetrash: wiing wiing??

jihoondere: Wiing wiing.

Almost three weeks of pointless snaps, intense gaming sessions and nightly KakaoTalk conversations later, their first collaboration videos go up. They’re simple matching videos that don’t require that they meet in person, because that would be awkward as hell and first collabs are usually long distance anyway. Several things happen within those three weeks.

 

 

1. Jihoon and Soonyoung pretty much become Best Friends For Life (which puts Mingyu in a perpetually weird mood, because on one hand his hyung is finally socializing with the love of his life, and on the other, he’s losing his best friend to some nerd). They get along incredibly well without even having to meet face to face, and social media proves to make their friendship even stronger. Kakao messages turned into phone calls, which turned into Soonyoung sending him snippets of his dance moves on Snapchat, Jihoon texting him asking if he should get japchae or sushi for lunch, and visiting each other's virtual towns in Animal Crossing.

 

Amazingly, Jihoon still hasn't shown Soonyoung his face, but he'll cross that bridge when he gets there.

 

 

2. Thanks to screaming at Soonyoung during their near-nightly League sessions, Jihoon loses his voice, so he opts to do a guitar arrangement instead of a vocal cover this time. He hasn’t posted one in a while, so he takes the opportunity to practice his mad fingerstyle skills. Personally, he's really proud of the finished product, so when Soonyoung compliments him earnestly Jihoon thanks him instead of telling him to shut up.

I've had a sore throat for the last couple of days. Hopefully this will suffice!

Don’t forget to check out Hoshi’s choreography here:

3. Soonyoung choreographs something that is totally unlike anything he's ever done before. He'd mentioned to Jihoon in passing that his passion for dance had actually sprung from taekwondo, so it makes sense to Jihoon that his moves are sometimes a little stiff. This choreography, however, is not-- it's all fluid movement and sharp hips and Jihoon can't help but wonder what happened to Soonyoung's goddamn bones. It makes sense, since the song they’d chosen doesn’t really call for popping and locking and whatever the hell it is dancers do these days, but it does nothing to still Jihoon’s stupid beating heart.

4. With fame and success comes fandoms, and their subscribers join forces and do the thing that fandoms do best: ship. Both Jihoon and Soonyoung were taken aback at how many comments mentioned the possibility of them dating. It's ridiculous, and they laugh about it, because there's absolutely nothing in either of their videos that could possibly allude to a relationship. Sure, Jihoon hasn’t collabed with another YouTuber in well over a year, and yeah, it’s true that prior to Soonyoung, he’d only collaborated with fellow musicians and artists... But there’s a first time for everything, right?

 

Jihoon is sitting in the university library when Soonyoung sends him a screenshot of a particularly far-fetched theory. In response he laughs loud enough for everyone in the vicinity to shoot him dirty looks, and, consequently, the librarian to ask him to leave.

 

"Goddammit, Soonyoung," he grumbles under his breath.

 

"What was that?" the tiny middle-aged woman snaps.

 

"N-Nothing, ma'am!"

 

He bows in apology, internally cursing Soonyoung for getting him kicked out of his favorite study spot. But on his way out, he's still kind of laughing about it, clutching the strap of his backpack as he dials Soonyoung's number.

 

"'I think they're in a dom-sub relationship and Hoshi-oppa is overprotective of Woozi-oppa and that's why Woozi-oppa never shows his face. Omo he must be beautiful!'" Jihoon rattles off as soon as the other boy picks up the call. "Holy crap, these keep getting better."

 

Soonyoung breathes out a laugh, and Jihoon's heart does a little flip.

 

"I know right! How do they come up with this stuff? I wish I had this much creativity when I came up with moves and stuff."

 

Jihoon scans the area around him and decides to sit on the first bench he comes across, pulling his scarf tighter around his neck. It's nearing December so the weather is getting colder, and the last thing he wants is to get sick before finals.

 

"Dude your dances are always creative as hell, what are you talking about." Jihoon places his backpack on his lap and wraps his arms around it, looking every bit like the five-year-old people mistake him for. "Especially the one you made for Wiing Wiing. All I did was play the guitar and then you had to go and completely kill it! Fricking overachiever."

 

Soonyoung laughs again, loud and unrestrained, and Jihoon can't help but think that it would sound so much better in person.

 

"Jihoonie," the older boy begins. He'd taken to calling Jihoon that over the phone as well as online, and Jihoon will never admit it but he loves the way it sounds. "My dancing can't even get on your original stuff's level. Actually-- I just thought of something."

 

Jihoon rolls his eyes. "Well don't leave me hanging."

 

"Impatient as ever.” Soonyoung sighs dramatically. “Anyway, you're still working on your new mixtape right?"

 

Jihoon grimaces. He’s usually really good about getting things done, especially when it comes to his music; he’s no stranger to dark circles and a daily intake of three cups of coffee. But lately schoolwork’s been piling up and living with Mingyu is kind of like having a giant puppy and-- Soonyoung. Just. Soonyoung. The moment he walked into Jihoon’s life, he totally threw it off balance.

 

"Hey, if you're just gonna at me for procrastinating then--"

 

"No, chill, I'm not! I was just going to ask if I could choreograph one of your new songs. If you wanna collab again, of course," he adds hesitantly.

 

YES, Jihoon wants to yell. A THOUSAND TIMES YES.

 

"Well," he says instead, pretending to think it over. "We do have a lot of shippers. It'd to let their ship sink so early, right? Plus I'd get to work with you again, which would be kind of cool, I guess."

 

"I guess?!" Soonyoung screeches, offended. God, he’s loud. Jihoon has to hold his phone out several inches away, because as a musician he kind of needs to be able to hear. While Soonyoung is ranting on about how amazing he is and why Jihoon shouldn't take him for granted, Jihoon checks the time and realizes that he has less than ten minutes to get to a lecture on the other side of campus.

 

"Okay, you're amazing, I'm sorry alright? But I have class in like five minutes so I gotta go."

 

"Fine then, go." Soonyoung sniffs. His voice sounds brighter when he asks: "Smash tonight?"

 

“As long as you stop using ing Pikachu.”

 

“Yeaaah, that's not gonna happen. Later, Jihoonie!”

 

He hangs up without waiting for a reply.

 

Jihoon sighs and shoves his phone into his pocket, ignoring the way his heart swells at the nickname.

 

"Bye, Soonyoung."

 

He’s got it bad.

 

 

♡ ♡ ♡

 

“You look happy.”

 

Jihoon raises a brow at his deskmate, setting his backpack on the floor before taking a seat.

 

“Why do you say that?”

 

“Maybe because you’re smiling?” The younger boy smirks. “Finally got a boo?”

 

“The only Boo I see is you, Seungkwan.” Jihoon pokes at his face and sure enough, his lips are stretched into a grin. He hadn’t even realized it. “And it’s none of your business if I do.”

 

“Hey, I’m just curious! And frankly a little hurt.” Seungkwan pouts. “We’ve been friends for so long, I really counted on you to tell me when you got into a relationship.”

 

“We’ve known each other for two months.”

“What are you talking about? We met in chorus last year.”

“That was before you called us all amateurs and transferred to chamber choir.”

 

“Oh.”

 

"Yeah, oh. Anyway, I'm not in a relationship," Jihoon insists. He slips his scarf off and folds it into a makeshift pillow, laying his head down onto it. "And even if I was you'd be the last to know, Loose Lips."

 

“I am not even going to deign to reply to that.” Seungkwan tips his chin up haughtily. “By the way, I visited that music store you mentioned before. Chim Chim.”

 

“Jam Jam,” Jihoon corrects. He wonders, idly, if the professor is ever going to show up so Seungkwan can leave him alone.

 

“Ah, yes. Cham Cham. Anyway, I met your friend! Seungcheol, the owner?”

 

“Did you now?” Jihoon has no idea where this is going.

 

“I did. DId you know he likes being called daddy?”

Jihoon’s ears immediately perk up at that. He lifts his head to stare wide-eyed at Seungkwan, who’s smiling innocently. “Dude, what the ?! Please don’t tell me you slept with Seungcheol--”

 

“What, no!! Jihoon what do you take me for, my god!” Seungkwan looks just as scandalized as Jihoon now. He quickly regains his composure, though, which is something Jihoon has always envied him for. “This little girl came in, maybe three years old, and for some reason she thought Seungcheol-hyung was her dad. She kept calling him daddy and it looked like he really liked it! He wants to be a dad someday, how adorable is that?”

 

Seungkwan sighs fondly, adding, “I’d have his kids in heartbeat. Plus he looks like he’d have a big--”

“OH MY GOD,” Jihoon wails, horrified. He really does not need to picture that. He gets up immediately and starts gathering his things, all while trying to avoid looking Seungkwan in the eye . “I can’t look at you anymore, I can’t look at Seungcheol anymore, I have to go--”

 

“Mr. Lee, sit down unless you want to be dropped from my class.”
 

Oh now the professor shows up. Goddammit, JIhoon’s life really .

 

He squeaks, embarrassed, and sits his back down. “I’m sorry professor.”

 

The man looks pissed now, arms crossed and foot tapping impatiently on the linoleum floor. “Since you seem to be so eager to get out of here, why don’t you go ahead and present first?”

 

The color drains from Jihoon’s face and he turns to look at Seungkwan, who looks like he’s trying his best not to burst out laughing. Jihoon really wants to hit him, but for the sake of not getting into more trouble than he already is, he’ll wait until after class. “Present what?” he hisses.

 

Seungkwan raises a brow. “The project we got assigned like a week ago? A presentation on the role of psychology in media.”

 

All of a sudden, Jihoon remembers exactly why he forgot.

 

He remembers sitting down one night a few days ago to start working on the project. He was so determined to get it out of the way, sources collected and notes written down-- all he needed was to actually put it together. Then Soonyoung texted him. Jihoon ignored him at first, diligently working away and thinking hell yeah I’m being productive as . But Soonyoung kept texting him, and finally Jihoon decided, fine, I’ll humor him, it should only take a second. That second evolved into a three hour Pokemon tournament in which Soonyoung lost miserably, despite initially calling Jihoon to tell him that he was a self-proclaimed Pokemon master. By the time they finished Jihoon was sleepy and satisfied with his twenty win streak, so he went to bed with the project long forgotten.
 

The professor clears his throat. “Anytime now, Mr. Lee.”

 

“I, uh… Don’t have anything to present, sir.”

 

For the second time that day, Jihoon finds himself cursing Soonyoung to the depths of hell.

 

 

♡ ♡ ♡

 

 

“I said I was sorry, now stop cornering me, that’s not fair!!”

“It’s all your fault! Now die!”

 

Game over.

 

“Dude, don’t you ever get tired of winning? I mean at least your friend Seungkwan talked him into giving you an extension.”

 

“Yeah but thanks to you I get five points taken off! I’m a straight-A student! STRAIGHT-A!”

 

“Jeez calm down! What do you want me to do, beg your professor to give you back those five points? I don’t even know where you go to school--”

“Cover a girl group dance.”

“Really? Is that what you want? That doesn’t benefit you in any way.”

 

“If it makes you feel half the humiliation that I felt today, then yeah, it does.”

 

"Then I will. But just saying, if some bigshot entertainment company finds my video and decides to recruit me for their upcoming girl group, I'm never going to mention you in my award acceptance speeches."

 

"Oh my god, just shut up and choose a character."
