Chapter Text
Hwiyoung walked slowly home from school. It was a cloudy day with a sprinkle or rain but he only lived about 4 blocks away so he wasn’t too worried about getting rained on. He had left his brother behind after the younger decided that he would practice his dance routines with the new assistant dance choreographer. Chani had spoken a few times about him and how his style brought a fresh new vibe to the schools dance team, but never had Hwiyoung met him, nor did he really care too.
Hwiyoung wasn't into dance. He’d rather sit in the library; liked the idea of learning something new and he wasn’t afraid to admit that he was a book worm. But other than his love for information and stories, Hwiyoung trained in kick-boxing, and had been since he was very young. It was a passion that he never ever wanted to quit. And one day he wanted to do it professionally. Not many people knew about it though and he would prefer to keep it that way.
When he came to the large front gate of his house, he pressed the buzzer and a few seconds later the gate opened. As he walked through the front yard of his very well off house, Hwiyoung could hear his parents. There was no mistaking the laugh of his Dad, Youngbin, or the his Appa, Rowoon’s voice as he told what had to have been a really hilarious story.
Yes, both Hwiyoungs parents were male. Rowoon was his biological father and Youngbin was Chani’s. They met when Hwiyoung was only 5, and Chani 4. So basically the two boys were brothers. Officially when they're dads got married. It was established early on that Youngbin was Dad and Rowoon was Appa, just to avoid confusion.
Hwiyoung walked inside and followed the cheerful ramblings to the kitchen where Rowoon sat on a stool at the kitchen counter and Youngbin stood at the sink trying to hold in more laughter.
“What’s funny?” Hwiyoung asked, looking back and forth from one parent to the other.
Rowoon looked at him and smiled. “Hwiyoungie. How was school today?”
Hwiyoung shrugged and made his way to the stool beside Rowoon and took a seat. “It was ok. I got asked out again by another girl.”
Youngbin was now all ears, his eyebrows raised curiously as he leaned in on the counter top to listen.
“And?” Rowoon asked impatiently.
Hwiyoung realised that his parents were indeed expecting an answer. “I said no,” he replied as if the answer was obvious.
Youngbins shoulders drooped and Rowoon sighed with a small smile.
“You know they only want to date me because Appa is famous.” Hwiyoung said more to Youngbin.
It was mostly true. Hwiyoungs father was an actor and a model, hence why there was a large front gate with a buzzer on it, to keep out unwanted visitors. Hwiyoung just had a feeling the girls that asked him out weren’t genuine about their feeling towards him. Or maybe he ws just being paranoid.
“Maybe you should give them a chance. I'm sure they are nice girls.” said Youngbin.
“They are dad, but I just don't think any of them are right for me.” Hwiyoung explained not wanting to go in depth about his reasons.
“Fair enough son.” Said Youngbin as he made Hwiyoung up a glass of juice. “Where is your brother by the way?”
“Oh he stayed back in the dance studio with the new dance assistant.” Answered Hwiyoung, as accepting the glass of juice from his dad.
“Oh yes. Chani has told me about him. Apparently he’s only a year out of school himself.” Said Youngbin impressed as he looked at Rowoon. “And he has shown a lot of interest in Chani as a dancer.”
Rowoon smiled at his partner. “Well he has learned from the best.”
Youngbin blushed and pulled the most loving face at Rowoon and Hwiyoung pulled a grossed out one.
“That’s my cue to leave.” He said and stood to make his way up stairs and to his bedroom.
Hwiyoung put his bag down by his desk and went to lay on his bed. He then pulled out his phone to check his insta updates. The first picture that popped up was that of Chani and a guy that Hwiyoung hadn't met. He had dark hair and olive skin which was glistening with sweat, as was Chani’s. Hwiyoung noticed that the smile on the guy, though he seemed exhausted from probably dancing nonstop for the last half hour, could easily rival the sun.
Hwiyoung read out the status of the post.
Working hard and getting better everyday! Thank you Taeyang Hyung!
Hwiyoung felt a twang of jealously in his chest. It was very rare that Chani called Hwiyoung Hyung yet here he was posting on insta, calling some random choreographer guy Hyung.
Shrugging it off, Hwiyoung just scrolled, and when there was nothing knew he checked his FB news feed.
Boring!
He came to that conclusion after about 10 minutes of more scrolling.
Maybe he’d go down to the GYM and do some training. It wasn't a scheduled training day but he really didn't feel like doing homework, or even settling in for the rest of the day. Maybe he should've stayed with Chani to watch him practice with his new favourite Hyung. Then he could have seen what all the fuss was over when it came to this Taeyang guy.
Or maybe he’d go to the cinema and see the knew dinosaur movie. Surely Chani would like to go see it with him. He hoped he would anyway otherwise Hwiyoung wouldn't be aloud to. Not without company, and the only company he really had was Chani.
Oh well. No use dwelling. Hwiyoung got up off his bed and changed out of his School uniform. He put on a pair of black jeans, a plain white shirt and pair of black timbs. Once satisfied with his look, he left his room and walked down the hall to the stairs where there was a figure making their way up. Assuming it was his Appa, he continued to walk until he realised that the person was not his Appa and he funnily enough recognised the person.
But what the hell was he doing at his house!
When the person noticed Hwiyoung his eyes grew big, as if he had just been frightened but didn’t want to show it.
“I’m so sorry to intrude, but I was told the bathroom was up here.”
Seeing the guy in person was much different to seeing him in a picture. He was broader than expected and also a little taller. His hair, now dry and not dripping with sweat, fell over his eyebrows. He looked good in his black jeans, a tucked in black and white striped long sleeved shirt and black converses. His eyes were soft and sweet and his mouth was pretty...WAIT!
Why the hell was Hwiyoung thinking about his mouth?!
“Err...yeah. The bathroom is...”
Nice time to go blank Hwiyoung!
“It’s um, just over...”
Where the hell was the bathroom!?
“Oh my god you probably think I'm so rude right now!” Said Taeyang as he lifted both hands to cover his mouth, shocked at himself. Then he dropped them to his side and bowed sharply. “Hello, my name is Yoo Taeyang. I'm the new assistant choreographer at your school.”
“Yes...I uh, I know who you are.” Said Hwiyoung. “So why are you in my house?”
“Oh? Chani wanted me to meet his parents, so I drove him here, then I had to use the rest room then, boom! Here we are having this conversation about why I'm in your house. Chani talks about you all the time wow you're really handsome. Crap! I don't mean that in a ‘I’m perving on you’ kinda way. It’s just, well you are.” Taeyang laughed as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
Hwiyoung thought that this conversation couldn't get any worse then what it actually was. For someone who looked so cool and confident in a picture, Taeyang was rambling mess. It was kinda cute and-
Oh god what the hell was wrong with him!
He had literally just met this guy probably not even a minute ago and now he thought he was cute. Hwiyoung never thought about guys that way before, ever! Even though he had a gay father, Hwiyoung always was attracted to the opposite sex. Wasn't he?? He really needed to get out of his currant situation.
“Bathrooms that way.” Hwiyoung stated, coming to his senses and almost pushed past Taeyang to get out of that atmosphere.
As he descended the stairs he felt the air lighten. Thank god for that! He didn’t think he’d be able to be in that guys presence any longer.
Chani and their dad were out on the front porch talking while their Appa was else where in their massive house. It was still cloudy but still hardly any rain.
“Chani, why are you bringing home stray dance instructors?” asked Hwiyoung as if Chani’s had just brought in a homeless pet.
“Well you won’t date girls so I thought I'd bring home a guy for you.” Chani bit back sarcastically.
“Chani!” Youngbin scolded.
“I’m not gay.” Hwiyoung defended.
“The fact that you have to convince yourself of that is just sad.”
“BOYS! Stop bickering. Chani, apologies to your brother now.” Youngbin demanded.
“Sorry Hwiyoung.” Said Chani, though only to please his dad.
“Where’s Appa?” Asked Hwiyoung.
“Your Appa is doing a last minute live interview. Best not to disturb him.” Said Youngbin.
Hwiyoung thought for a moment, then looked back up at his dad. “Dad, could I borrow some money. There’s this movie I’ve been wanting to see and I don’t think it will be in the cinema for too much longer.”
“Sure son, but as long a Chani goes with you.” Said Youngbin fishing some money out of his pocket.
Chani looked at his dad horrified. “No,” he shook his head and and turned to Hwiyoung. “What do you even want to see?”
“The new dinosaur movie.” Hwiyoung replied.
“Seriously! You don't even know the name of it.” Chani complained.
“What does it matter!” Hwioyoung snapped back.
“BOYS!” Youngbin cut in. “Hwiyoung, if Chani doesn't go with you then I’m afraid I cannot let you go.”
Hwiyoung was livid. “Dad! Why!?”
“Hwiyoung you know the rules. You’re only 17-”
“I’m 18 in like 2 weeks!”
“Yes but at the moment you are 17 and you’re not to go anywhere unless you are accompanied by someone. You know what the paparazzi are like.”
“I will wear a mask.”
“Hwiyoung its my final answer. Unless you have somebody to go with then you don't go.”
Hwiyoung was defeated. He did respect his parents rules but sometimes he just wanted to be independent and do things alone.
“I’ll go with you.”
Hwiyoung turned to see Taeyang standing behind him. He faked a smile and shook his head. “You don't have to.”
“No seriously. I’ve been wanted to see that dinosaur movie too.” Said Taeyang with a great big smile.
Hwiyoung swore it had just brightened the cloudy day that they currently stood in.
“I’m fine with that.” Youngbin agreed and held out the money to Hwiyoung.
Hwiyoung looked to the money then up to his father. He really did want to go and watch the movie, but he knew he didn't want to go with this Taeyang guy. The main reason was because he barely knew him and the second reason was because Taeyang made him feel weird even though he barely knew him! And then Hwiyoung looked to Taeyang who stood with adorable expectant eyes. So Hwiyoung, being the nice guy that he was, sighed and nodded.
“Okay.”
“Cool,” said Taeyang who turned to Youngbin. “I’ll have him back before 10.”
Hwiyoung felt himself cringe at Taeyangs last comment because he knew he would never hear the end of it from Chani. He took the money from his father with a polite bow and looked to Taeyang.
“I just need to get my jacket.” He said and made his way into the house and up stairs. On his way back down he passed Chani who stood in the living room.
“Have fun on your date!”
“Shut up!”
He came back out to the front porch where his Dad and Taeyang stood chatting. Taeyang smiled when Hwiyoung caught his eye.
“Ready when you are.” Taeyang smiled brightly
That damn smile was contagious! Hwiyoung couldn't help but smile back at him and nodded.
“Love you son.” Called Youngbin as Hwiyoung lead the way over to the gates.
Hwiyoung just gave him a simple wave and the two were out the gate and getting into Taeyangs car.
