Work Text:
Jungwoo entered his room, plopping down on his bed before rolling over to stare at the wall. A plan was formulating in his mind, but he needed a partner, a deputy, a second-in-command who he could trust. He had just the right man in mind. Getting up slightly to look over at Jaehyun who was knocked out cold, his blanket halfway on the floor, he stood up and creeped out the door, taking extra care to close the door.
Just before the lock clicked, remembered he forgot his phone so just as sneakily, he opened the door and skid across the room with his amazingly stealthy socks and grabbed it before running out, silently cheering at the successful escape.
It was 2 am and thankfully no one was in the living room and kitchen. Sliding on his shoes, Jungwoo took the spare keys and made his way to the elevator and going down to the 5th Floor. No doubt the person he had in mind was awake playing video games or watching YouTube compilations.
He let himself in and beelined to the desired room. For a moment he wondered if he should have called or texted but quickly dismissed the thought. It would be funner in person.
Knocking on the door, he heard a familiar voice asking him who it was.
“Jungwoo.”
The door was ripped open, hinges groaning and was greeted with a rumpled Haechan. His pajamas were crinkled and had little suns and clouds on them. A gift from Johnny for his birthday. He looked adorable with his unkempt hair and glasses hastily put on.
“Zeus!” Haechan stepped aside, letting the older man in. “What’s up?”
He entered and immediately jumped on the closest bed, before yelping and digging out a controller from underneath and throwing it on the other bed.
“I have a plan,” Jungwoo said, turning to look at Haechan who was sitting on his bed, Nintendo Switch in hand, intently playing the game.
“What plan?” At least he was listening.
“Jaehyun Hyung and Yuta Hyung were about to have sex and—”
Haechan’s head snapped his way, and he swore he heard a crack. A look of pure horror and disgust was plastered on his face and covering his ears. “I don’t wanna hear this.”
“But they didn’t,” Jungwoo explained. “And that’s where the plan comes in.”
For the next few minutes, Jungwoo explained his rather ingenious and somewhat evil (but definitely not cruel because he wasn’t an evil overlord…yet) plan to Haechan whose face transformed into a look of unadulterated glee. At first, Jungwoo thought about applying the plan on Taeyong and Doyoung but frankly, as much as he loved Doyoung, the man was scary. Plus, they were still in the honeymoon phase and it was sweet (gag-worthy but sweet) watching them make doe eyes at each other. But Yuta and Jaehyun had been together for two years and sabotaging their sure-to-be-many attempts to try and get in each other’s trousers would be so much fun.
Haechan pulled out his notebook from God knows where and began scribbling down ideas, formulating a plan: interrupt them as much as possible.
“Get the numbers.”
“What numbers?”
“Everyone’s numbers, Donghyuck. There’s no way we can do this all by ourselves. We need the entire group. They’ll get suspicious if it’s just us popping up everywhere.” Jungwoo said, whipping out his phone to see whose numbers he did not have. He was missing five.
Haechan burst out laughing. “Who would have thought this would be the way we all got together.”
“I know right,” Jungwoo said chuckling.
Checking the time on his phone, he got up. “Where’s Johnny Hyung?” He forgot to ask, completely absorbed in getting his plan across.
“He’s with Taeyong Hyung. He needed help with something.” Haechan said, eyes still trained on the handheld console in front of him.
“We’ll make a group chat when we’ve got everyone’s number,” Jungwoo said, opening the door. “Goodnight, Haechanie.”
“Goodnight, Hyung. See you in the morning.” He heard the maknae say as he shut the door. Walking to the exit, he saw the light on in Taeyong’s room and the sound of Johnny explaining something about a fish tank and coral arrangements. Probably something for JCC.
It was quatre to three when Jungwoo got into bed, happy and excited about the upcoming schedule and all the fun they were going to have and the mischief that was about to be unleashed.
But sleep could wait, he had a new manga chapter to read.
