“What are you guys doing?” Jihoon sat beside Seungkwan on the carpet at their dorm, he just came back from recording new song that night and saw some of s crowding Seungkwan who was holding a laptop on his lap

“Looking through articles about us, this is awesome hyung we have haters!!!” Seungkwan screamed excitedly

“So? Are we supposed to be happy with that fact?” Jihoon amused

“Of course!! That means we are famous now!” Seungkwan grinned happily “Look at this latest article talking about our visual, netizens said we have strong visuals, look at these comments ‘their group has no hole’ ‘everyone is handsome except woozi’” Seungkwan slapped his own mouth while the others hit him on his head when Seungkwan accidentally read that out loud, he waited for his hyung to react badly about that but Jihoon just put a poker face didn’t make noise about that comment “hyung sorry, are you ok? It’s ok don’t mind them, they haven’t even seen you in real” Seungkwan tried to cheer Jihoon while trying to read Jihoon’s mind because his face looked so calm

“It’s ok, don’t mind me, it’s true anyway, my face is standard, nothing special about it”

“Hyung!”

“Ah… I’m tired, I’ll go to my room first, good night everyone” Jihoon stood up left everyone speechless

“You idiot!” Seokmin hit Seungkwan’s head one more time when Jihoon already gone from their sight

“I know I’m idiot but stop hitting my head it’s painful!” Seungkwan scowled while trying to protect his head again

“Don’t you think Jihoon hyung isn’t hurt by that comment?” Jeonghan who was keep quiet just now finally spoke out

“What happen here? Why so noisy?” Seungcheol’s voice startled everyone there

“This is my fault hyung, I’m an idiot” Seungkwan admitted and started to tell his leader of what happened

Seungcheol opened his sharing bedroom with Jihoon, Mingyu, and Jeonghan, it was dark but he could see Jihoon’s phone light which means he hadn’t slept yet. Mingyu and Jeonghan still outside decided to give space for the couple.

“Jihoonnie?” Seungcheol called out but no responds, he knew Jihoon was still awake, he sighed and walked closer to the bed “Hey beautiful, I know you haven’t sleep yet” Seungcheol caressed Jihoon’s hair gently and the latter finally gave up, opened his eyes only to see Seungcheol looked at him fondly

“Who are you calling beautiful just now?” Jihoon scowled

“Who else here other than my baby?” Seungcheol laughed when Jihoon hit him lightly after he said ‘gross’ to Seungcheol “Move a bit, I want to sleep with you tonight” Seungcheol didn’t wait for any respond but casually lay down beside Jihoon on the small bed, he adjusted their position and wrapped his arms comfortably around Jihoon’s waist, kissed jihoon’s lips and rested his chin above Jihoon’s head. None of them said anything after that but just enjoying each other presence, Seungcheol himself was waiting for Jihoon to start telling him about what happened just now because he could see clearly Jihoon was feeling upset no matter how hard he was trying to hide it from Seungcheol

“Cheol…” Jihoon finally opened up, if anything the only person he opened up to was his boyfriend and no one else “Do you think I’m…”

“You are beautiful Ji, you are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in life, your heart, your face, everything about you just so perfectly beautiful” Seungcheol looked at Jihoon right on his eyes when he said that just to make sure Jihoon saw that he was being really honest

“But I…”

“Don’t you trust me?” Seungcheol looked at Jihoon with his puppy eyes

“I trust you but…”

“No but on this Ji, don’t let someone who doesn’t even know you makes you feel down, you are much more worth than them” Seungcheol cupped Jihoon’s face and make the latter looked at him straight in his eyes “I want to protect you from those nasty comments, but I realize the bigger we become the more we get hates, they are just jealous of you, their opinion isn’t real. What is real is me, is us, my love” Seungcheol could see tears swamped on the younger’s eyes

“that’s too much cheese in a sentence” Jihoon finally laughed while Seungcheol finally felt more relax, he felt upset too when he heard of what happened from Seungkwan, how could anyone judged his boyfriend’s appearance like he didn’t have heart? Jihoon might looked strong, stubborn from outside but Seungcheol knew better than anyone else Jihoon had a soft heart and nobody should ever tried to hurt it “thanks” Jihoon smiled and kissed Seungcheol “I feel better”

“Always ready 24/7 for your service” Seungcheol grinned “Remember this whenever someone talked about your appearance, you are beautiful Lee Jihoon” Seungcheol said genuinely

“I’m handsome” Jihoon joked around trying to hide how happy he was “I love you”

“I love you too baby” Seungcheol leaned closer to Jihoon and started to kiss the latter passionately

“Ok guys, stop eating each other’s mouth, we are trying to sleep here” Jeonghan threw a pillow over to Jicheol’s couple
