It was after that certain VLIVE, after the cameras had stopped rolling, when they were all back to reality. Seungcheol was still brushing Jeonghan's red hair with his fingers, leaning closer to each other while whispering jokes that only the two of them understood.
Back at the dorms, everyone already knew they had something going on, from the shared gazes, the little trips to each other's rooms, the break times spent together, and many more intimate moments that only the two knew.
The members were already heading back to their respective rooms while some were waiting for Jeonghan inside the elevator since their rooms were located on the upper floor. But Jeonghan was still stuck with a whiny Seungcheol outside the elevator doors.
"Whyyy..." Seungcheol whines as he leans his chin on Jeonghan's shoulder, hugging the latter tightly as if he was going to leave for a long time.
Jeonghan softly laughed at the older's childishness before answering the question at hand, "I told youuu, Manager-nim told me to keep you out of my room for at least a week. You've been staying in my room for more than a month now."
"But I like it there, smells like home," Seungchol groans after that, annoyed at the fact that he has to sleep alone again for some time. He moves a bit to rest his nose by Jeonghan's neck, smelling the younger's perfume from his purple sweater.
"Oh, come on, you big baby. It'll be just for a while, yeah? You'll be back there with me in no time," Jeonghan assures his lover, stroking his hair gently, laughing as he hears the man sigh. He loves this man dearly-
"Jeonghan-Hyung!" Seungkwan stops his train of thought, "Ahh, sheesh- We've been holding the door open for you, are you still coming?"
Ah, yes. A few of their members had been watching them the whole time.
Seungcheol instinctively whips his head in Seungkwan's direction, shooting daggers with his eyes before standing properly to face Jeonghan again with a cute pout.
The younger awes at the sight, smiling as he takes Seungcheol's hand. "I have to go, okay? They're waiting for me." He points to an irritated Seungkwan leaning on the elevator door, a smiling Vernon behind him, a bored Jihoon on his phone, Seokmin and Joshua chatting by themselves.
Seungcheol nods, 'sulky' written all over his face. Jeonghan smiles, placing his hands on Seungcheol's neck gently, thumbs rubbing his cheeks. "We can still do video calls, what are you sulky for? It's not like you're not going to see me for years," he chuckles.
"I know... I'll call you, okay.? I just want to sleep while listening to your voice," Seungcheol hugs Jeonghan for the last time that night before planting a kiss on Jeonghan's forehead. "Goodbye..."
"Baby," Jeonghan laughed out loud that earned another pout from the Choi Seungcheol. "Okay, okay..." Jeonghan leans in closer, kissing the other's lips softly (the members in the elevator made noises of disgust, by the way). "Goodbye, I'll see you tomorrow."
"No, later." Seungcheol protests. "You'll see me later when I call."
"Cute. I'll go ahead. I love you," Jeonghan separated himself from Seungcheol's hold, waving his hand at him before patting Seungkwan's head as he gets into the elevator.
"I love you more," Seungcheol mumbles, watching as the elevator doors were closing. Seeing no signs of Jeonghan anymore, he drags his feet back to his own pad, head down as he talks to himself about wanting to sneak into his lover's room.
