“Hyung! Hyung! Hyung!” SungJong’s voice rang trough the hallway, as he approached MyungSoo almost running.

“What’s wrong?” the later asked, not hiding his surprised expression from the heavily panting maknae.

“Hyung, are you busy now?” SungJong asked, fanning himself with his hand.

“Not really. I start getting ready for the concert in an hour or so.” MyungSoo said after looking at his phone.

“Great! Could you please replace me for a while?” SungJong finally sounded like he had regained normal breathing.

“Replace?” MyungSoo repeated.

“Yes. I need to quickly run out with stylist-noona, as my jacket broke in unfixable way and we need to get a new one fast.” The younger one said.

“Okay. What will I have to do?” MyungSoo asked, being quite willing to help his ‘younger brother’.

“You know my performance with SungYeol-hyung, right? “Trouble maker”.” MyungSoo froze a little, as a sudden bad feeling about it came over him. “I know you know the moves and everything, so maybe you could go trough stage check practice with SungYeol?” SungJong asked, as if not noticing MyungSoo’s shocked face. “I will be back for outfit-rehearsal and everything.” The younger one said and already started to move pass MyungSoo. “I know you can do it. Fighting!” SungJong smiled and basically ran away before MyungSoo could utter a word.

The stage was already set up for concert, lights switching more than necessary as they were being checked now. Shouts in Korean and Japanese echoed around the venue and the moving of metal constructions could be heard.

“Oh! MyungSoo!” SungYeol exclaimed as soon as MyungSoo stepped on the stage, where the taller one was already waiting. “SungJong said he will find a replacement, but this is unexpected.” The later smiled widely. “Let’s star then.” He said and went up the stairs to the take the right position and MyungSoo followed.

The beat of the song rang trough the air and MyungSoo did all his best not to mix anything up and not to show his nervousness.

This was no ordinary performance.

So much touching on stage during a song was something rather new and saying that MyungSoo was uncomfortable was like saying nothing.

Not that he was like that because he was dancing with a guy (thank god SungYeol wasn’t wearing a wig and a dress at the moment), but because it was SungYeol.

The music suddenly stopped and someone yelled for them to keep the position, as there were small issues and they will be able to move on with the choreography in a bit.

That someone probably didn’t see how exactly he made them to freeze – their faces just a centimeter (in best case) away from each other. Just a bit and their lips would touch.

Not the best time when to stop.

And on top of that, SungYeol had, just had, to his lips.

MyungSoo suddenly felt the ability to focus his gaze on something decent fading as first his eyes wandered around then carefully studied SungYeol face when finally locked on his lips.

He gulped loudly and right when his mind was already forcing him to think or already do something that was not in the script, the music started to play again and they carried on with the choreography, till the last part – the highlight of the performance came.

The kiss.

MyungSoo knew what he had to do and when to stop, and he so hoped he will be able to do so.

And he was… the other thing was that SungYeol did not.

When for the second time there was only mere millimeters between their lips, SungYeol closed the distance right when the stage went dark.

The moment of darkness seemed endless for MyungSoo, at least he wished it would be endless, but the lights turned back on in just few seconds and SungYeol drew back right away.

“Thank you for rehearsing with me.” SungYeol said, winked and left the stage, leaving confused MyungSoo there for a second, yet came back in a minute or less, grabbed shorter ones wrist and pulled him along. “Lets go trough the ‘points’ of the choreography again.” SungYeol said, pulling MyungSoo somewhere, and it would be a lie if the later would say that he minded that.
