    Summary

    Seonghwa didn't leave the Royal Navy for this shit.

    With Hongjoong, these were the rules of engagement: he was generous to a fault, the canniest sea captain a crew could ask for. Quick to laugh and quick on his feet, reliable in a crisis, with a nose for opportunity. But there was something of a deep-sea monster in him: something that hunted whale sharks and devoured ships whole. It made him impossible to argue with. It made you feel like you’d rather die than disagree.

    Summary

    “What I’m saying, Joongie, is fuck everyone else,” Seonghwa says, knocking his forehead into Hongjoong’s. “Who cares if they think you’re good enough, if they respect you as a producer of equal value? You’re not meant to be like them, you’re meant to be someone different. Someone who makes music just because he needs it to breathe, a man who has a group of boys behind him that would follow him to the ends of the Earth just because they believe in what he’s trying to do. You could write car commercial jingles and we’d still find a way to make it an Ateez title track. Because we believe in you, Kim Hongjoong. The same way I know you believe in yourself.” He lifts one of his hands to gently press his palm against the inside of Hongjoong’s bicep, the one where his tattoo lies permanently etched into his skin underneath the thin sleeves of his t-shirt. “Because there’s no one like you, right?”

    Hongjoong is beginning to feel like he's losing himself, his music becoming a way to seek approval rather than songs he can be proud of. Songs that feel like him.

     

    Seonghwa decides it's time to remind Hongjoong of who he is.

    Summary

    It all starts with a promise: Wooyoung will find Seonghwa the perfect guy at the club to go home with and finally end his dry streak. All he has to do is give the pretty stranger a chance.

    A simple one-and-done, and he'll feel all the better for it in the end.

    That is if he can stop talking about the damn bonobos monkeys and just fuck the guy already.

    Summary

    “Wait! Wait,” Seonghwa holds up his hands as Hongjoong’s palms glow brighter and brighter. “I’m not your enemy. You are Kim Hongjoong, right?”

    Hongjoong frowns, defensive and alert. His features are feline and delicate. The sharp set of his jaw accents the way he grits his teeth, and his narrowed eyes highlight the distrust he holds towards Seonghwa. “Who’s asking?”
