Jiyong screamed and ran his hands in his dark hair before collapsing on the ground, rolling around on the practice room's ground.

'' I'm tired! I'm tired! I'm sick of this''

Youngbae laughed at him and took a deep breath, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

'' Ji, we need to practice''

'' Just let me rest for some time''

The older lied down besides him, resting his head against his shoulder and closed his eyes. Jiyong leaned his head against his. It was quiet for a minute or two as they tried to gain back a normal breathing and let their muscles rest.

'' Bae, we've been friends for how long now?''

The dancer scoffed.

'' Too long''

Jiyong nudged him and scolded.

'' Hey what does that mean?''

'' You prefer being in a duo with me or Seunghyun-hyung?''

'' You're avoiding my question''

'' answer me please''

Jiyong took in a deep breath and linked his hand with Youngbae's.

'' You''

'' why?''

'' Because... us, I... it's... I'm less anxious around you''

Youngbae pulled away and rolled on his stomach so he could look at Jiyong.

'' You're anxious around Hyung!? Why?''

The leader blushed and looked aside.

'' 'cuz there's this... tension around us and... he often looks at me too long and... I don't know it just makes me... uncomfortable''

Youngbae smirked at him.

'' You ed with him''

'' What!? NO!''

'' You ed with Seunghyun!''

'' Did not!''

Youngbae mocked him, climbing on his lap and poked his chest.

'' You ed with hyung!''

'' Okay okay I did so what!?''

'' Oh my god you little !''

Jiyong sulked him.

'' What? He's hot and he was willing''

The older hit him childishly.

'' And what I'm not y enough!? When I asked for it you turned me down!''

The leader grabbed his hands to stop him.

'' Of course I did! I could not just you like this''

'' And why? you did with Seunghyun''

'' It's not the same''

'' How it is not? He's your friend too''

'' But you mean too much to-''

Jiyong stopped himself and bit his lower lip. Youngbae smiled goofily at him and leaned down closer to him gripping his shoulders.

'' What were you about to say?''

'' N-nothing''

'' Say it''

'' No i-it's not important''

Youngbae kissed his cheek and ran a hand up in his dark hair, knowing how much Jiyong likes when someone plays with his hair.

'' What are you hiding from me?''

'' B-bae s-stop it''

'' I mean too much to you, is that it?''

'' w-well you're my best-friend''

Youngbae sulked and dropped his hand.

'' So? As a lot of people say, it's better to have your first experience with someone you really care about''

Jiyong groaned and hid his face behind his hands.

'' Ahhh you don't understand''

'' No I don't. We already kissed and... did some other things, so why would it be different if we ed?''

'' Why do you even care so much about it!?''

The older grabbed his hands to look at him.

'' Because I wanna know why Seunghyun and not me!''

The leader frowned a bit.

'' Are you... jealous?''

The dancer's cheeks got a bit pink and he had some trouble finding his words.

'' I-I... I'm not''

'' Oh my god! You are! Why so?''

'' J-Just... nothing... ''

Jiyong sat up and wrapped his arms around Youngbae, not minding that his friend was still sitting in his lap. Not like he was heavy anyway. But the sad look on his face made him worried.

'' Hey, what's up?''

Youngbae looked back up at him.

'' Is it... because you think Seunghyun's more attractive than me?''

Jiyong chuckled.

'' Why would you even think that?''

The older shook his head and pulled away from Jiyong.

'' Forget it''

He stood up and aimed for the couch where his bag and jacket was. Jiyong cursed mentally and stood up as well, going after him.

'' Bae... wait. I'll tell you why''

Youngbae turned to him with a fallen face, hands buried in his pockets.

'' Talk''

The younger ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath.

'' Look, I really like you and... I wanted that... if we ever come to... you know, do something like this... I want it to be meaningful... and... not just senseless ing just because we both want it. I want passion to be there, not just raw lust''

Youngbae scoffed.

'' Are you saying you would like to make love with me and not just ?''

Jiyong blushed deep red.

'' I-I-I clearly said if we ever come to do something like this''

The older nodded.

'' I know, I know, I heard you well''

Jiyong toed the wooden ground with the tip of his shoe shyly.

'' So... are you... are you still mad at me?''

He heard the dancer laugh and soon he was pulled in a hug.

'' I've never been mad at you, silly''

Jiyong hugged him back, burying his face in his shoulder to which the older giggled. He kissed his leader's neck, nuzzling his nose in the milky skin. The leader's muffled voice came to his ears.

'' What are you doing?''

'' Would you like to... try it out?''

'' Try what out?''

'' Dating''

'' Why?''

'' Because...''

He kissed up to Jiyong's ear and whispered, his hot breath sending shivers to the elder.

'' I've always wanted to... do something like this... with you''

The younger's hold around him tightened.

'' me... me too''
