Infinite to the members meant family. Infinite to the Inspirits meant love and friendship. But to Kim Sunggyu whom has seen the members growing and maturing ever since the beginning, Infinite means way more than that. Seeing the playful and the quirk side of his brothers, the brothers that are even stronger than blood, Infinite to him means more than family. Infinite to the leader means everything. From the bullies, the cries, the laughs, the brotherhood, and of course, the fights. In Sunggyu's point of view, all of these make up his Infinite. But Kim Sunggyu knows that these aren't the limit of their group. Why? Well, he shouldn't have excluded the incredulously famous couple ships among the members to describe the team.

 

That, Kim Sunggyu understands perfectly well even without Woohyun having to point it out to him. He knows how their Inspirits have been pairing them up, leaving SungJong all alone. But then, exactly because it’s SungJong, he kind of understands why the fans have left him out of the pairing. He’s such a diva, he would’ve spent more time learning girl group’s dance steps with Key, Jokwon and Heechul rather than hanging out aimlessly with the members who only knows about video games, and dance.

 

Of course Kim Sunggyu is also perfectly aware that he himself is being shipped with their so-called heart prince, Nam Woohyun, earning them a couple name called WooGyu. They are quite a famous couple among the many idol couples, if Sunggyu could've brag a little. The other hot and roll couple is of course none other than the YaDong couple, Hoya and Dongwoo being the main characters of this pair. The one who shamelessly filmed their own version of We Got Married just for the sake of entertaining to Inspirits' wild imagination. And last but not least, the uncharacteristically famous couple, MyungYeol whom effortlessly won the heart of many with their skinships. Kim Sunggyu completely fathoms why Inspirits ship these two.

 

These two have been the best of friends ever since they were trainees; this is the written fact for Infinite brothers and fandom. Myungsoo and Sungyeol read each other like an open comic book—just because they don’t exactly read books other than visualized ones with less word. They understand each other best that sometimes Sunggyu even wonder if they have this strange connection of telepathy, somewhat like ESP. But no, that's not what he is curious about as of right now. Because what Kim Sunggyu still couldn’t understand and is most curious about is—

 

“Do you guys really hate being near each other that much?”

 

He ends up asking that one question that has been wandering around his head out loud as he stares at the two birdies, both sitting a meter away from each other as they munch on their food while watching Weekly Idol on the television featuring Super Junior.

 

The taller one out of them two has his eyebrows raised as he turns his head towards the eldest. His forehead slightly furrowed. Lee Sungyeol doesn’t quite expect that question to come up now that it has been years since they debuted. They have been behaving as usual as they have always been and he is certain that both of them aren’t acting differently for their leader to come up with such a question. They haven't even fought or give the cold shoulder to each other lately. So, why now?

 

“Seriously, you ask that now, hyung?” Sungyeol replies yet with another question, his forehead still frowning as he swallows downs his food. Myungsoo doesn’t even bother to turn around as he keeps his eyes at the show. Well, he is more interested in watching Kyuhyun being flustered as s bully him than listening to the conversation. Myungsoo just needs some laugh right now and he knows talking with Sunggyu will only bring him nowhere near a laughter. in fact, he knows it can only lead in one direction - them trying to rip their hair out of frustration.

 

Sunggyu who hears the question just shrugs his shoulder. “Well, I couldn’t help but notice how you guys have always been keeping your distance from each other whenever we’re off the cameras. It’s weird.” Responds him as he steals a fist of chips from Myungsoo’s bag, earning him a loud “Yah! It’s mine!” from the younger. Sunggyu just sniggers out loud as he intentionally chews on the chips exaggeratingly. Sungyeol could only shakes his head at the two’s antics before he stuffs some popcorns into his mouth.

 

“Everyone notices that, hyung. But no one has even bothered to ask us that. You don’t have to do it now.” Mouth filled with popcorns, Sungyeol struggles to counter but he knows the eldest has clearly received the message when he retaliates,

 

“I know. But I’m just curious.” replies Sunggyu as he impertinently stares at the two boys intermittently, waiting for the answer. Feeling the long stare digging through his head, Sungyeol looks at the eldest member only to let out a heavy sigh knowing very well that their leader is not going to drop the topic until he finally gets the answer he wants.

 

“It’s nothing, hyung.” Sungyeol’s voice is heavy as he gives him the answer, not wanting to further make this unwanted conversation lengthy. Sunggyu just cutely pouts at the answer before he slams his hands down onto the table and leans closer to the two of them, surprising Myungsoo whom is by then too absorbed with the show.

 

“Oh, come on! You can tell hyung! I promise I won’t tell a soul!” Sunggyu widens his small eyes a few millimeters as he put on his ‘angelic’ hamster look. Oh, Sungyeol and Myungsoo know that look almost too well for their own good. That I-promise-I-won’t-tell-but-I-can’t-promise-the-slips-out look.

 

“It’s seriously nothing, hyung! There’s no particular reason.” Sungyeol desperately wants to end the conversation.

“It can’t be nothing! On cameras you guys were like all over each other like cats in heat, but at home, althpugh you guys were still hanging out together yet you sit so far away from each other! Look at you right now! You guys are sitting this far!” Sunggyu shouts as he stretches his arms out, proving how far the two are sitting from each other. Sungyeol just has to roll his eyes because really?

 

“What’s wrong with sitting far from each other? It’s not like we have to leech of off each other every single time! And we aren’t even that far! You’re exaggerating, hyung!”
 

“I know but it’s still strange! I’m so used to you guys attaching so close to each other that seeing you guys far like this is like me seeing Sungjong dancing to a girl group’s song! It’s usual yet still too foreign for my eyes!” Sunggyu explodes as he ruffles his own hair, clenching his eyes shut at the memories of their true youngest doing those entire y girls dance. Sunggyu shivers at the flashbacks.

 

“Geez! Hyung! We’re boys— men! We’re not gay despite what we feed the fans outside, of course we aren’t gonna stick to each others’ butts all the time! We have our own life to live!”

 

“You said you have your own life to live yet here you guys are, still in the living room together and not living your life out there on a very rare holiday!”

 

“Oh God! What’s so wrong about that? We just like lazing around at home!” Sungyeol barks back. His hand already a tuft of his hair, ready to pull on them out of frustration if Sunggyu keeps on going on with this ridiculous debate.

 

“You mean lazing around together at home?” And of course Sunggyu doesn't really feel like pulling out now.

 

“Oh my god, hyung! What is wrong with your head? We are lazing around together at home, with you too here! So what does that mean, a ?!” Sungyeol finally explodes as his face flushes red, messing his hair terribly at their leader's stupidity. Sunggyu flinches at the forbidden thought.

 

“Ewwwww, you don’t have to go there, Yeol! I’m so not into any of you!” Frowns the eldest as he crosses his arms right across his chest, as though he is trying to protect his man-dignity.

 

“And we’re not into each other as well! How many time should I tell you that?! Urgh!” Sungyeol rolls his eyes dramatically before his vision lands on the quiet boy not too far away besides him.

 

“Yah, Kim Myungsoo! Help me out here!” Sungyeol almost sounds like he is begging the younger for help, yet Myungsoo still doesn't even bother to at least glance at his counterpart.

 

“For what?” Still, he asks. Huffing a long breathe of air, Sungyeol grunts.

 

“Sunggyu hyung is implying that we’re gay! And we’re obviously not! Help me enlighten him up please!” Myungsoo shakes his head and nonchalantly looks at Sungyeol.

 

 “Yeol, there’s no use in telling him that. Sunggyu hyung is just too stupid to debate with. You should've known that by now.” Myungsoo's smart- remark of course only earns him a smack in the head by none other than their leader, Kim Sunggyu— to which Myungsoo yelps in pain as he rubs the sore spot gently.

 

“Yah! I’m not stupid!” Sunggyu retorts, pouting. Myungsoo only squints his eyes before he looks at the screen back.

 

“If you aren’t, then you should know that we’re best friends who just happen to be idols who has a same gender partner we’re inevitably coupled up with just for the sake of fanservice, who in real life actually doesn’t really like any close skinship. It’s just this simple, hyung.” Lazily, Myungsoo finally and truthfully speaks up for the two of them although he still keeps his eyes on the television screen. He just wants to get this over with.

 

Seeing how Myungsoo seems to be so reluctant and lazy in making an effort to clarify their so-called complicated relationship, Sunggyu admits the defeat. “Fine! If that’s how it is.” says the eldest although there seems to be a small pout still tugging on his lips.

 

“That’s just how it is, hyung. Good that you understand.” Myungsoo takes a brief glance at the eldest before smiling his dimple smile. Finally, someone is being smart!

 

“Myung, gimme some chips. My popcorns are gone.” Thinking that the stormy situation has finally calmed down, Sungyeol reaches out his hand for the bag of chips, feeling his stomach still growling, asking to be stuffed. Myungsoo grabs another new packet of chips from below the couch before he throws it at the other. Sungyeol delightedly receives the bag and begins digging in the chips before he returns his focus to the screen again; finally watching the show after it had leaped from the introduction to the almost ending— that’s just how long his bickering with Sunggu was.

 

Sungyeol is about to delve into the show when Sunggyu suddenly breaks the silence once again.

 

“But then, how do you guys do those then?” asks the leader as he slightly creases his forehead along with a small pout, shrinking his small eyes even more as he curiously stares at the two birdies.

 

Frurstrated, Sungyeol turns at Sunggyu and scrunches his nose at him. “Do what?” His voice reeks of absolute irritation as he ask the eldest back.

 

“All those skinship? Back hugs, pecks, kisses, aegyos.” Oh, just when Myungsoo and Sungyeol thinks that this topic is finally buried and sealed, Sunggu just has to reopen the Pandora box once again. He always does that—they should’ve remembered. Irritated, Sungyeol lets out a long sigh before he voices his reply.

 

“Hyung, we aren’t called an actor for nothing.” Answers the boy, rolling his eyes annoyed. But Sunggyu only shakes his head as he frowns at the two boys.

 

“But I can’t do that! Even when they ship me with Woohyun, I can’t initiate the skinship at all! It’s gross!” He whines.

 

“And that’s another reason why they didn’t recruit you as an actor, hyung.” Sungyeol wisely retorts before he grabs his phone and begins tweeting Woohyun, Dongwoo and Hoya. He has had enough of Sunggyu's strange antics for one day!

 

@YeollieManly --> @Dongthedino @NamuNamu @IsayHOyousayYA Hyungs! Sunggyu-hyung is being weird! Help! Come home quickly! T___T'

“Yah! I can act well, okay!” Not even noticing Sungyeol’s annoying behavior of violating Sunggyu’s number 3 rule of no using a mobile phone while conversing with the members, Sunggyu retaliates back as he gently punches Sungyeol’s shoulder blade in retort.

 

@NamuNamu --> @YeollieManly @Dongthedino @IsayHoyousayYa Hyung is always weird. but how weird is your weird, Yeollie? Is it sugar-rush hamster weird or is it sugarless depress weird? anyway, brb soon! give my XOXO to Gyugyu!

 

Myungsoo who just happens to read the tweets at the same time accidentally slips out a loud snigger while Sungyeol just rolls his eyes at Sunggyu again.

 

“Yeah right.” Retorts Sungyeol as he stuffs more chips into his mouth, feeling more than proud and contented thinking that Myungsoo is actually listening to them and is backing him up with that snigger.

“What, you don’t believe me?” Sunggyu pouts even longer now. Then, Sungyeol gives this irritating smirk before he says,

 

“Then, kiss Myungsoo right now and tell him you love him more than anything in this world, even more than Woohyun.” Sungyeol blindly challenges him, not really thinking what his words would cost. And of course, his words only earn him a loud and startled “what?!” from the two of the poor subjects.

“Why the hell do I have to do that with him!?” Both Sunggyu and Myungsoo shout as they point their forefingers at each other, eyes widely bulge out in surprise.

 

“You said you could act well, so prove it, hyung!” Sungyeol taunts their leader even more, missing how Myungsoo is throwing daggers at him with his cold 'L' glare.

 

“Wha— how the hell does this conversation ends up this way?!” Sunggyu whines, not really wanting to proceed with this stupid challenge.

 

“Just do it, hyung! If you’re a man, prove it!”

 

“Yah! Lee Sungyeol!” Myungsoo tries to warn, but unfortunately, his warn is left unheard when the eldest rolls up his sleeves and declares—

 

 

Watching the scene unravel itself as Sunggyu dares himself to complete the challenge, Sungyeol begins to grow antsy. Random thoughts bein crowding his mind. Will Sunggyu really do it? With his own member? Will he really prove it? Is he really going to do it? Oh, Sungyeol is really asking for his own death with this stupid challenge, and worries not because he has got two persons on his tail to gladly put him in his grave.

 

Nervous, Sungyeol begins to sweat. Myungsoo’s heart is beginning to accelerate. And Sunggyu is ripped between his pride of acting and pride of a man.

 

The distance is nearly almost gone, lips hovering against each other a mere inch away as they dread for the forbidden touch. Myungsoo doesn’t even know what is going on anymore as he has his eyes clenched shut but he can already feel the hot breath of their leader grazing his skin. Sungyeol couldn’t stand to watch the scene rolling in front of him. He couldn’t stand it yet he isn’t doing anything to stop it. Should he?

 

Just as Sungyeol contemplates on dropping the challenge, Sunggyu takes the first and bravest step he has ever taken in his life.

 

“No, I can’t do it!” He shouts as soon as he pulls over, dropping flat on his away from Myungsoo. Myungsoo and Sungyeol release the breath that they don’t even realize they are holding. Sungyeol silently thanks Sunggyu’s strong pride of man for letting the logic takes control of his mind. But grateful or not, he is still not going to drop the challenge. Why should he when he has obviously won the side of his challenge?

 

“See, hyung? You can’t do it!” So the taunt begins as he smirks at the eldest, despite a trickle of sweat still silently dropping down his forehead.

 

“Whatever! I can’t do it! I can’t kiss someone that I don’t love! You guys won, I don’t care!” Sunggyu hisses, his voice still sounding bitter despite the acceptance of defeat.

 

“Yeaaayyy! Sunggyu hyung, you’re buying us chicken for dinner!” He celebrates, fist pumping in the air enjoying the moment. Sungyeol is still very much enjoying his petty victory when he realizes that Myungsoo is being too silent when he should have been celebrating as well.

 

“Yah, Myungsoo! Why are you being too silent? You aren’t on camera so stop being L for once.” He jokes, throwing some bits of chips at the younger whose head is dropped low, facing the floor, his hands hovering just beneath his face as he did so.

 

“Myungsoo? Myung?” Sungyeol calls, worried now that the other isn’t responding to his L joke at all when he usually doesn’t fail to do so with a bickering every single time.

 

Myungsoo still has his head bent low. His fists are hastily rubbing his eyes, almost looking like he is actually… crying? Sunggyu notices this so he leans a little closer, carefully asking the younger if—

 

“Myungsoo, are you crying?” Myungsoo only responds with a shake of head, those little fists still rubbing on his eyes.

 

“Then, what’s wrong? Tell me.” Sunggyu asks again while Sungyeol sits frozen across Myungsoo, still a little overwhelmed that the younger is probably crying because of him. Oh, the guilt is surely creeping in—

 

“My eye hurts.” Myungsoo cries, and Sungyeol snaps his head at the smaller boy.

 

“Your eye hurt? What’s wrong? Show hyung your eye.” Sunggyu is worried now.

 

“It hurts, hyung.” cries Myungsoo again as he lets go of his hand and shows him his his aching eye. His eye is really puffy, red and watery. It looks really painful yet Myungsoo still looks almost too cute with those teary eyes for his own good.

 

Sunggyu is about to come closer to the younger to inspect the eye when Sungyeol beats him to it. And almost as though the world is on a slow motion mode, Sunggyu witnesses everything.

 

Hastily scooting in closer towards the smaller boy, even to the point of pushing Sunggyu out of his way, Sungyeol lowers his head and levels their eyes, “Let me see.” He says with a tone that Sunggyu rarely hears coming from that naughty and playful boy.

 

Before Myungsoo could even breathe a word, Sungyeol swiftly lifts his right arm and places his hand at the back of Myungsoo’s head, pulling the other closer towards him as he inspects the latter’s eye. Softly and gently, Sungyeol leans even closer and blows into his eye.

 

“You got something in your eye. Is it better now?” Sungyeol asks worriedly as he looks at Myungsoo, patiently waiting for an answer. Myungsoo only nods his head before Sungyeol uses his thumb to wipe a drop of tear that is just beneath the reddish eye.

 

“Good.” He says with a content smile as he leans backward, not before glancing at the respected eye one last time, just to be sure that the other is really fine.

 

Sunggyu’s jaw helplessly drops. Kim Sunggyu is just more than speechless right now because— really?

 

And they said they weren’t gay.

 

“Oh my god! What did I just see?!!!” Kim Sunggyu just has to freak out. Startled out of the sudden loud shriek, Sungyeol abruptly retreats his arm back while Myungsoo clumsily backs away, both of them flushing in red as they look away. And Sunggyu witnesses them all.

 

“Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. I did not just see that. I did not just see that scene and those blushes. Oh god, no!” He chants like a mantra, vigorously shaking his head in pure denial that it had Sungyeol wondered if his brain could have flown out of his head if he keeps on shaking it that strong.

 

“Why did I have to see that?! Why didn’t I just stick my eyes on the screen?! Goddddddd why?! My eyes! They’re tainted!”

 

“Hyung! You’re exaggerating!”

 

“But it looks like a scene from the dramas! And I just so happened to witness that in real life! I had front seat ticket of watching it up-close! Oh god! I’m tainted! My mind is tainted! FOREVER!”

 

“Hyungggg!” whine the two blushing boys.

 

“No no no! Why of all people do I have to see that?! Why?! Why God, why?!" Sunggyu lay flat on the floor before he begins flailing his limbs around, desperately wanting to shake those images out of his head.

 

“Its not like you’re not used to it hyung! So stop freaking out!” Myungsoo is the one who is freaking out right now. Sunggyu stops struggling before he sits up and fists his hair.

 

“But that and this is different! You guys weren’t like this off cameras! And this time, this time—oh my god, Myungyeol is real!!!! I have to tweet this to Inspirits! Oh my god! But I don’t have the proof! But that’s okay, I’m the leader so they should believe me! Oh they have to believe me or they’re so going to miss out on this! Myungyeol is reallll!!!”

 

Sunggyu hastily grabs his phone and opens his twitter, typing in incredulous and indecipherable words that if posted on the website, will surely gets the fans to think that Sunggyu is crazy, and stupid, and crazy. No doubt.

 

‘Dear In$piritsszz, Myung$oo and Ye@l is in llo$&%#veee! Fshsdkgvnfkds—‘

 

“What’s with the ruckus here? Sheesh, I can hear you guys from outside. Tone down a little, hyung.” Woohyun’s voice interrupts Sunggyu’s bout of panic  attack as his rapidly moving fingers abruptly halted. Turning his head at the voice from the door, his eyes widen.

 

“WOOHYUNNNNNNNNIEEEEE!” Sunggyu shouts as he rapidly lurches towards the incoming boy and jumps onto him. Woohyun automatically wraps his arms around Sunggyu’s waist as he lets the elder latches onto him like a koala, shouting into his face with too much excitement.

 

“Woohyunnieeeeee! MYUNGYEOL IS REAL!!!!!” declares the stupid leader as he flails his legs in a fit of too much sugar rush. Sungyeol just has to slap his forehead while Myungsoo has his face buried deep into the soft of the couch. Woohyun just frowns when he sees the sugar rush hamster.

 

“What do you mean Myungyeol is real?” asks the boy. Sunggyu blinks his eyes and tightens his arms around Woohyun's neck, pulling the latter's face closer to his as he shouts,

 

“They’re real! I mean, I thought it’s all for the sake of Inspirits, but no they’re real! They blow kisses in front of me, Woohyunnie! Off the cameras!!!” He shrieks like crazy, his voice one key above his usual pitch, almost similar to the voice that Inspirits always have whenever they see the members... coupling up on stage. Woohyun has his left eyebrow raised.

 

“Hyung! We didn’t blow kisses! I was blowing his –“ Sungyeol tries to clear up the exaggerating misunderstanding while Myungsoo has given up and just hides his face. But before Sungyeol could finish his sentence, Woohyun interjects.

 

“So what if they blow kisses?”

 

“No, I didn’t blow kisses! Only his eye—“

 

“Oh, come on, Woohyunnie! That only means that Myungsoo and Sungyeol aren’t acting but real! They’re in loveeeee!” Sunggyu shrieks once again before he giggles heartily.

 

“What’s to be so excited about then? Aren’t they an item even from the beginning?” exclaims the perplexed boy as though it's an obvious thing. Yet all he gets from the boys as a response... is a pregnant silence.

 

........

 

“What? Why are you looking at me like that? Isn’t that obvious?” Woohyun creases his forehead, looking at the three of them intermittently. Only after another few seconds of pregnant silence does it dawns upon him that -

 

“Wait, don’t tell me you two have been meaning to hide it?” Woohyun asks, eyes widely bulge out, unbelieving. Another pregnant silence ensues as both Sungyeol and Myungsoo's faces begin heating up. And then comes the cracking guffaw out of Woohyun.

 

“Oh my freakin god! Hahaha! Don’t tell me you did because you two were freaking obvious, everyone already knows from day one you guys were together!” Woohyun exclaim before he continues bursting into laughter, Sunggyu already dropped down on the floor as Woohyun couldn't hold his body from jerking out of the crazy laugh.

 

“Hyunggg! You can't be serious! You're joking, right? Right?!" Sungyeol desperately asks, yet Woohyun's boisterous laughter clearly tells him otherwise.

"Oh god. You're serious?! Everyone knows already?! Oh my god.” Lee Sungyeol is embarassed to death, and Myungsoo? He is probably already dead from the embarassment. They just wish the ground could break apart and swallow them both into nothing.

 

“Uh-huh, even Jongyeop hyung knows.” Woohyun just doesn't feel like stopping the teasing there. The dread on their faces are too amusing that it gets Woohyun stumbling into the floor as he crumbles into another fit of laughter yet again.

 

“No friggin’ way!” The two of them are seriously freaking out.

 

“And here I thought we’ve been doing a good job in hiding it!” exclaims Sungyeol, shaking his head almost too vigorously. Woohyun halts his laughter and stares at the two boys, dumbfounded.

 

“Are you guys seriously that stupid? Even Inspirits know you guys are real!” says Woohyun. He isn't laughing that hard anymore, but they can still hear the remaining of his unfinished laugh in the way his shoulders are jerking and his eyes shedding a streak or two of tears.

 

“What?! That’s absurd!” Lee Sungyeol shouts before he unintentionally throws the bag of chips away, splattering the unfortunate chips everywhere.

 

“Yeah! That’s absurd! I didn’t even know!” Sunggyu finally voices his thought out after he has regained himself back, still quite surprised that Myungyeol is actually actually real from the beginning.

“Well, Myungsoo, Sungyeol, at least there’s one person stupid enough to be fooled by your stupid acting then.” Woohyun sniggers loudly.

 

“Yah! I am not stupid!” yell the three of them before they pick up the chips on the floor and begin throwing them at him.

 

And Nam Woohyun just shakes his head, still laughing at the stupid trio as he officially gives up.

 

What does Infinite mean to Woohyun? Oh, Infinite to Woohyun can only mean these: fool, stupid, brainless, clueless and adorable happy brothers, except maybe one of them.

;)

I just wanna tell you how much I hurt my stomach writing this story because I couldn’t help it since part of this story is based on my own experience of witnessing that drama-like scene. Oh gosh!

OH MY GOD NO HAHAHAHAHA well, I shipped my two friends just out of jokes really, but then came that scene. I know it aint real but still, it just feeds me more feels to joke about that ship. Lol oh gosh, I feel stupid for writing this one-shot. I hope u guys had fun!
