Aein (애인)

Summary:

“I trusted you to judge your own capabilities for the first game and look at how it turns out.”

“But-“

“As your higher up I order you to be sub out!” Sanghyeok regrets what he said as soon as the sentence left his mouth.

Notes:

Before we start, welcome to my Korean 101. The Korean word that you need to know for this fic is…

Aein (애인): Sweetheart

(Also, this fic is timed in the middle of Spring Split)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

It might sound unlikely at first, but Faker and Oner somehow got together during their time in Iceland.

Maybe it’s the early morning private run (in which Oner refused to be recorded on), or maybe it’s the duo queue they played every day that usually ends with them eating dinner together. Somehow, Faker found the courage to ask Oner out on their last morning run under the beautiful Aurora, just before returning to their home country.

“Stay by my side, will you? Not just on the rift.”

Faker never said anything about it to the others, so Oner thought that he wanted the whole dating thing to be a secret. Sure, they did become a bit more inseparable than before, but people hardly notice this as they were already quite inseparable ever since the Summer Split playoff.

The jungler noticed how Sanghyeok only showed his affection in a secretive manner. How Sanghyeok pulled him for a kiss behind the potted plants around the HQ or how Sanghyeok held his hand under the cafeteria table. Oner never complained too. To be perfectly honest, his heart always skips a beat when Faker does something so out of character in front of him, only him. 

The only other people who know about this development are the coaches, for obvious reasons. But the coaches respected their decision to stay a secret and never got involved in their relationship (Except for maybe some inside jokes and ambiguous teasing from Coach Moment). 

So this dynamic stayed for a while. Sanghyeok would sometimes tease Hyeonjoon by doing something risky behind someone’s back (normally Zeus or Guma) and Hyeonjoon would try to hide his embarrassment from the others, earning him a chuckle from the mid laner. Oner, on the other hand, would act suspiciously (according to Faker) by being overly polite to the mid laner in front of other players yet is always ready to defend and side with Faker when the other jokes around. 

(“it’s cute.” Faker claimed once.)

That is, until Oner got sick in the middle of the split. 

—————————

Faker regretted not acting as soon as he realised something was wrong with his boyfriend. 

Breakfast today almost went as usual. Almost. The 6 players are seated together at the cafeteria, eating while squabbling about yesterday’s LCK broadcast. Faker, however, noticed how Oner didn’t argue with his peers as much as usual. He also was only poking at his food, which is weird considering how the guy is trying to bulk up these days.

*odd* Sanghyeok thinks as he stares at the jungler. 

“What is it hyung?” Oner asks feeling the long stare Faker is giving him.

“Are you okay Hyeonjoon-ah? You’re quiet today.” This question effectively steals everyone's attention, as all of them quieten down to look at their jungler. 

Faker can see how Oner tenses up from the attention. “What do you mean? I’m fine.” Oner answers while giving all his teammates a reassuring smile.

Faker can’t shake away his suspicion, but he lets it go to relieve the jungler from the attention. Slowly, the other players lose interest on the jungler and continue with their disrupted conversation. Faker saw the relieved sigh Oner softly released.

As the others finish their food and leave the table one by one, Sanghyeok stealthily grabs Oner’s hand under the table, signaling him to stay a bit longer. Oner's cheeks turn red, like how it always does when the older does something secretive like this. Sanghyeok took note of how his partner’s hand is a little warmer than usual. 

“Aein-ah.. are you sure you're okay?” Sanghyeok asks worriedly once the others are all gone.

The jungler stares at the mid laner for a while before giving him a fond smile. “I’m really fine hyung. A bit tired, but fine. You don’t need to worry too much.”

Faker sighs at his partner. “If you say so... But you do need to eat more.” Faker says pointing at Oner’s half-eaten plate. “Or do you want me to feed you?” He tease, earning him a flustered jungler. 

“It’s okay! I can do it myself! I’ll.. I’ll just take some bananas to eat on the way, okay?!” Oner stutters, cheeks as red as their jersey, as he quickly stands to leave the cafeteria. But not before he clumsily took some bananas from the buffet table. Faker can only laugh at his jungler’s antics as he puts his worries to the back of his mind. 

—————————

Normally Faker would sit in the coach car on their way to the LOL Park. Today, however, he requested to switch places with one of the staff from the other car. Oner looks at him weirdly as Faker moves to sit next to him at the back of the car. 

“What are you doing?” Hyeonjoon asks in suspicion.

“I just want to sit here today. Any problems?” Sanghyeok claims innocently. 

Oner squinted his eyes. “Yes, actually. I kno-“ Oner couldn’t finish his sentence as he was cut off by someone else’s shouts.

“Sanghyeok Hyung! That’s my seat!” Zeus complains as he enters the car pouting. 

“Well sit somewhere else you rude bastard.” Oner shoots back. Faker arches an eyebrow at Oner and has to hold back his laughter at how hard Oner tries to ignore him. Whatever Oner was about to say is now long forgotten.

Oner falls asleep peacefully two minutes into the car ride. Faker, looking at his boyfriend’s face, almost coos at how cute his boyfriend is next to him.

“Minseok-ah, what time did you guys sleep last night? I’ve never seen Oner sleep in the car before.” Guma asks to his support when he realises that the jungler isn’t talking as usual.

“Huh? I slept before Hyeonjoon came back.. But Hyeonjoon did wake up late today.” Minseok's answer fuels Faker’s worry even more. 

*Aein-ah… are you really okay?* Faker thought in his head while looking at his sleeping boyfriend. 

Sanghyeok sees how Hyeonjoon’s head is hanging uncomfortably, so he gently guides his boyfriend’s head to rest on his shoulder, noting the unusual heat coming off the jungler. After looking around to make sure that no one in the car is paying attention to them, Sanghyeok took Hyeonjoon’s hand and kisses its back before setting it on his lap to fiddle with. 

10 mins later. 

“We have arrived.” The driver announces. 

Sanghyeok, although with a heavy heart, gently nudges Oner awake. Oner slowly stirs but he immediately tenses up when he realises the position he is in. His cheek turns super red as he quickly removes his head from Sanghyeok’s shoulder. 

“Ah… I’m sorry for falling asleep on you hyung.” Hyeonjoon apologises, rubbing his hand behind his neck. 

“I don’t mind. It seems like you needed it.” Faker shrugs as he gives Oner a pointed look. Oner tries his best to ignore the stare and quickly escapes from the car. 

Sanghyeok sighs at his boyfriend's stubbornness before following him into the building.

—————————

Oner is starting to get frustrated by how Faker’s eyes won’t leave him ever since they got to the waiting room. Oner tries to ignore Sanghyeok as much as he can by warming up on the computer, but he can still feel the stare on his back quite strongly.

On one hand, Oner is grateful that his boyfriend worries about him. On the other hand, he doesn’t know how to feel about the fact that his boyfriend doesn’t trust him. He knows that he can handle this by himself. After all, It’s his fault for not being careful and getting sick. He will try to fix it all by himself. 

“Hyeonjoon-“ 

“I’m fine!”

“O..kay..?”

Hyeonjoon turns his head to see coach Moment’s confused face. He immediately threw the coach an apologetic look, feeling bad for randomly yelling at him.

“Ah, sorry Coach. I’m just.. a bit on edge right now.” Hyeonjoon apologises.

“It’s fine. What’s on your mind Joonie?” Coach Moment asks gently once he recovers from the surprise.

“It’s nothing serious. Sanghyeok hyung is just being… a little overwhelming right now.” Oner shares with a low voice so that Faker can’t hear them from the couch. 

“That doesn’t sound like Sanghyeok at all.” States the coach in surprise. 

Moment analyses the tired-looking jungler for a while before suggesting.

“Do you maybe want me to talk-“

“No!” Hyeonjoon immediately cuts his sentence. “It’s fine. It won’t affect my performance in-game, I promise. We’ll figure it out ourselves.” 

Coach Moment looks at the jungler for a moment before nodding.

“I see. Just tell me if you need any help okay?” The coach pats Hyeonjoon on the back before leaving him alone. 

Oner sighs in relief when the coach leaves, but the relief is short-lived as it is now Faker who approaches him from the couch.

“Aein-ah.” 

The use of nickname caught Oner off guard. Sanghyeok rarely uses the nickname in a room with other people unless it is something serious. It was enough to stop Hyeonjoon from immediately telling him to leave it.

Faker cups Oner’s face with one hand and turns it so that the jungler can see the worries in Faker’s eyes directly. 

“Please. The truth.” Plead the mid laner.

The desperation in Faker’s voice stops Oner from giving more excuses. The jungler looks at his boyfriend before lowering all his defense and fully resting his head on Sanghyeok’s hand.

The couple is not too worried about being caught since the practice computer is located in a hidden corner of the room. Even if someone were to look at their directions, the big chair would still shield Oner from their view. 

“I think I shouldn’t have gone to the gym after last night's practice… I thought I could cover for the missed session from the commercial shoot, but…”

“Didn’t you finish Soloq at 4 am yesterday?”

“Yes…”

“And what time did you get home yesterday?”

“... 6…”

“Aein-ah..”

“Players. It’s time to go to the arena.” An LCK staff cuts their conversation short.

Sanghyeok kept his worried glance at Hyeonjoon as he turns the gear in his head. He isn’t sure if letting his boyfriend play like this is the best idea.

“Aein.. maybe Minseok should jungle-“ The mid laner was interrupted before he can finish the thought as Oner immediately stands from his chair and puts some distance between them. 

“No! Hyung, I’m serious. I can do this. My condition is not that bad.”

“But-”

The jungler looks at Faker’s eyes with a determined look on his face. “Hyung. Please, trust me. I can do this.” Hyeonjoon emphasises before he walks out towards the arena. 

Faker can only watch Oner leaving the room.

—————————

Faker noticed how Oner didn’t take off his jacket before the first game. 

“Hyeonjoon-ah, drink some water before the game starts.” Fuss the mid laner.

“Hm.” Hyeonjoon shortly replies, taking a sip from his water bottle.

“Let’s relax and play carefully for today guys. Save your energy for the next game.” Faker knows Hyeonjoon knows that it was meant for him, but Hyeonjoon ignores him.

Faker then requested extra heat packs from the staff behind them before placing them on the jungler’s table. Oner sends him a warning gaze. 

“Everyone, please focus on yourself.” 

Faker knows that Oner’s word is targeted at him, telling him to back off. 

It hurts Sanghyeok’s heart a little, but he knows that there are some truths in Hyeonjoon’s words. He hasn’t even started warming up and there’s only a limited amount of time left. So he backed off and focused on the game at hand.

—————————

Although there were some mistakes during the early stages of the game, T1 won the game dominantly. However, Sanghyeok did realise how Oner's shot-calls gradually turned quieter and less frequent throughout the game. He also heard how Oner sometimes sighs through the mic, implying that he’s struggling. 

As they stood up from their seats to move into the coach room for feedback, Oner’s legs suddenly buckled. If it weren’t for Faker and Zeus’ inhuman reflexes, Oner would have fallen face first onto the ground. 

“Aein!” 

“Hyung!” 

Zeus and Faker shout simultaneously. Fortunately for the mid laner, his voice was covered by the top laner's louder voice. 

Faker can hear the gasps and murmurs of worry from the audience behind them. 

“I’m okay, I'm okay. Sorry” Hyeonjoon tries to reassure them weakly. He is shaking and sweating, and Faker can feel that Oner is much warmer than before. The fever has gotten worse.

“Let’s get you back to the waiting room.” Announces the mid laner. “We’ll do the feedback back in the waiting room.” Faker told Coach Polt who nods in agreement. 

Once they leave the arena, safe from the audience's eyes, Hyeonjoon immediately tries (and fails) to escape from Zeus and Faker’s half-carry. “It’s okay guys. I can walk by mys-“

“Just stay still will you?” Sanghyeok scolds him, a little annoyed. This rare display of emotion stops any struggle the jungler has, and he lets the mid top duo half-carry him into the waiting room. 

—————————

“Coach Polt, can you tell the Referee we’re doing a substitution?” Sanghyeok asks as soon as they arrive at the waiting room. 

The reaction is immediate. 

“Wh.. what? Hyung! We don’t need to sub!” Oner chimes in shock. He forcefully removes himself from Zeus and Faker before taking a few shaky steps to face the mid laner.

“You’re not playing like this. Minseok can cover your jungle. He practiced for this kind of situation and you know it.” Sanghyeok asserts while glaring at his boyfriend. This, however, doesn’t stop Hyeonjoon from disagreeing.

“But jungle is Minseok’s weakest role!”

“Well, you can’t play like this! I don’t care if we lose without you, you need to rest!” Sanghyeok starts to raise his voice, turning the room's atmosphere cold. 

“I’m fine! Trust me. I can do this. I will not let the team down again.”

“I trusted you to judge your own capabilities for the first game and look at how it turns out.” 

“But-“ 

“As your higher up I order you to be sub out!” Sanghyeok regrets what he said as soon as the sentence left his mouth. 

Not a single noise can be heard as the whole room froze. To the young players, this is the very first time they have seen their leader lose his temper. It’s also the first time anyone in the room has ever heard him use his status.

Faker, who already feels guilty about his action, can feel his heart breaking from the look Oner is giving him. The jungler’s eyes are filled with shock, and you can see the feeling of betrayal in his eyes. The two hold eye contact for a little longer until Hyeonjoon’s eyes start to brim with tears.

You see, right when Oner and Faker started dating, Oner told Faker that he was uncomfortable with the idea of dating his ‘boss’. He wasn’t sure what would happen if they ever argued. Because of this, Faker had promised that he will never use his status to make Oner do anything he doesn’t want to do. 

Faker knew that he had just broken that promise today. 

“Hyeonjoon-ah...” Sanghyeok calls softly when Hyeonjoon fast-walked out of the waiting room. The mid laner can feel his eyes filling with tears too, but he quickly wipes the tears away and puts up a brave face. They are, after all, not alone in the room. 

“Coach Polt, can you please tell the Referee that Oner will be subbed by Asper for the second game? Keria will be playing Jungle while Asper will play support.” Faker states confidently. “Let’s… let’s reset and play as best as we can yeah? Taegi-ya, go do some warm-up on the Rift. You too Minseok-ah. Go clear the jungle a fe-” Sanghyeok stops his rambling when he feels a hand on his shoulder.

“Sanghyeok-ah, just go. I can handle everything else for now. Just remember to be back before the match.” Coach Moment says gently to calm his player. Faker looks at the coach gratefully and nods before leaving the room to search for his boyfriend. 

————————

Faker stops on his feet right after he walks out of the waiting room. Where exactly will he find Oner? The LOL Park isn’t exactly small, and he doesn’t have much time to find Oner. 

He should have thought about this more thoroughly.

“.. Sanghyeok Hyung?”

Faker snaps out of his trance and looks at the source of the voice to see Nuclear who is sitting on his bed. 

*Right, He’s living in Lol Park.* Faker is still not quite used to the idea. He gave Nuclear a small bow and a smile as a courtesy. 

“Ah, hi Jeonhyeong-ah. Have you been well?” Faker said politely. 

“I’m good. Uh.. are you by any chance looking for Oner Seonsu?”

Faker immediately perks up hearing this. “Did you see where he went?” He asks hopefully. 

“I saw him running towards the emergency stairs. Is everything alright? I saw what happened after the first game.” Nuclear sounds worried. 

“Yeah, We have everything under control. Thank you for telling me where he went.” Faker slightly bows before running towards the emergency stair. 

When Faker opens the door of the emergency stair, he can immediately hear the sound of someone sniffling softly. Faker walks towards the stairs’ railing and leans to find Oner sitting on the side of the steps one floor below, arms around his knees and face buried. He walks downstairs gently to not startle the jungler.

“Hyeonjoon-ah?” Faker called out once he was just a few steps away. 

“…” 

No answer.

“Aein?”

That does get a reaction from the jungler. 

“Don’t you have a game to play?” Oner mumbles, looking away from Faker who sat next to him. 

“Aein-ah…” Faker raises his hand to touch his boyfriend but he hesitates at the last second. Although he cannot see Oner’s face, Faker can see him secretly wiping tears off his face. It breaks Faker’s heart even more. 

Oner clears his throat and tries to sound normal. “Just go. I don’t want you to lose focus on the game. You need to win it.”

“…” This time Sanghyeok is the one who went silent.

“What are you waiting for? You need to get ready. Our win streak is on the line.” Oner states with his shaky voice.

“Fuck the game.” 

Oner is so shocked by what Faker said that he instantly whips his head to look at his boyfriend. Faker can now see how red Oner’s eyes are and the wet streaks on his cheeks. Seeing how pitiful his boyfriend looks, Sanghyeok pulls Hyeonjoon towards him and tightly hugs him.

Oner tries to push Faker away, but he was too tired and weak to do so. Oner, who was holding back tears, starts to cry again in Faker’s embrace. Oner tries to hide his face on Faker’s neck but Faker is having none of it. Sanghyeok cradles Oner’s face in his hand and starts to kiss the tears away from his cheek. They stayed like that for a little while until Oner calmed down. 

The couple lets the silence engulf them for a moment before Sanghyeok breaks it. 

“Aein, I’m sorry for yelling at you.. and for breaking my promise. I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that.” 

“No.” The response makes Faker confused.

“It’s my fault. You’re right, I shouldn’t be playing under this condition. It’s my fault that I couldn’t keep myself healthy and now, it might cost our team. I’m sorry..” Oner's rambling got cut off when Faker suddenly hits him on the back of his head. 

“Hyung!” Oner exclaims in shock as he looks at Faker's weirdly emotionless face (Although he knows that this face usually means Faker is feeling irritated).

“Stop that. Stop blaming yourself for something you can’t control. This could have happened to anyone. It’s not your fault.” Scolds the mid laner. 

“But I-“ The two players tense up when they hear the staircase door being opened. 

“Sanghyeok are you in here?” Faker and Oner can feel the tension leaving them when they hear Coach Moment’s voice. 

“Yeah, we’re a floor down.” Faker calls out, never breaking his eye contact with Oner.

“Please come back to the waiting room as soon as possible. We still need to brief before the next game. The break is almost over.” Moment reminds them from upstairs.

“We’ll be up in a bit. Thanks for the notification coach.” Shouts Faker back.

“Okay.”

Faker quickly stands and offers his hand to help Oner up. However, the mid laner doesn’t immediately let Oner’s hand go after and chose to fiddle with it for a second. 

Faker looks at their joined hand before proposing a compromise “How about this. Rest now and if we lose this game and you feel better, you can come back for game 3.”

Oner sends him a small smile before answering. 

“Deal.” 

Faker looks at his boyfriend and carcasses his cheek gently.

“We’ll talk more about this after the game.” He said as they left to the waiting room.

————————

Although it was a much closer game than they wanted it to be, T1 managed to win the second game in 40 minutes. Faker, however, doesn’t really care about it. He quickly packs up his stuff and fast walk towards the waiting room where his boyfriend is waiting. 

“He passed out right after the nexus exploded. He won't sleep when I tell him to, but the good news is I think his fever broke already.” Bengi tells him as soon as he enters the waiting room.

“Thanks for keeping an eye on him, hyung.” Bengi only gives a small nod to that.

Sanghyeok kneels in front of the sofa where Hyeonjoon is sleeping and starts to gently caress the jungler on the head. Sanghyeok felt instant relief as he confirms that the jungler fever is going down. 

Sanghyeok sighs as he looks at his sleeping boyfriend fondly. “What am I supposed to do with you, Aein-ah?” He said to himself softly.

“Aein?!?”

“I knew it! I knew my hearing isn’t going bad… You did call him Aein before!” 

Sanghyeok snapped his head towards the room’s entrance to see his other teammates' shocked and… suspiciously delighted faces. 

“Ah..” 

Sanghyeok can feel his cheeks heating up. He knows that he just got caught red-handed. 

What happens next, however, is not something he expected.

“Everyone pay up!!” Keria happily announces while offering his hand to Zeus and Guma.

“That’s not right! We still don’t know if they got together at Worlds or during the off-season! Hyung! Did you and Hyeonjoon hyung get together at worlds or after?” Zeus asks with eyes full of hope.

“We have another bet too! Who confessed?!?” Gumayusi adds

Before Sanghyeok can answer any of the questions, he notices movement coming from his boyfriend.

“Huh? Hyeokie hyung?” Hyeonjoon says in confusion, not being completely awake yet.

“Yah Hyeonjoon ah! No need to threaten us with your kick when we ask about Sanghyeok hyung anymore. It’s out in the open now!” Minhyeong teases him with a smug face. Hyeonjoon only blinks at him, still not fully processing what’s going on.

“Now you need to tell us when you and Sanghyeok hyung got together!” Keria urges. 

Hyeonjoon, who is slowly realising that the cat is out of the bag, looks at his boyfriend for an explanation.

“I… slipped.” Sanghyeok explains apologetically. 

“Ah…” Oner’s face immediately starts to turn red from embarrassment, so he quickly hides his face using the sofa pillow.

Sanghyeok laughs at his boyfriend’s antics before answering his curious teammates. “Let Hyeonjoon rest for a bit more everyone. I promise we’ll tell you everything once Joonie feels better, okay?” Sanghyeok says patiently.

“How are you feeling now by the way?” Minhyeong asks out of worry. Now that the commotion is over, everyone is reminded that Oner was very sick just before the last game.

“Yeah hyung. Are you feeling better?” Wooje adds.

“…”

Oner stays still for a while before he slowly pushes himself up to a sitting position and takes a deep breath.

“I’m sorry everyone.” 

Everyone in the room is surprised by the change of atmosphere. Hyeonjoon is now looking down at his hand while trying to hold his tears. Looking at the sudden development, Sanghyeok quickly moves to sit next to Hyeonjoon on the sofa and places his hand on top of Hyeonjoon’s, letting him fiddle with it to help him to relax.

“Huh?” Minseok is the first to break the silence.

“What are you saying you bastard?” Minhyeong asks in confusion as he shares a look with Wooje.

“I fucked up. I should have taken care of myself better. I almost cost our winning streak by being irresponsible. I’m sorry.” 

The whole room becomes silent once again after Hyeonjoon finishes his shaky apology. For a while, all you can hear in the room are Hyeonjoon shaky breaths as he tries to calm himself.

“Sanghyeok hyung.” Again, it is Minseok who breaks the silence. “What does this dumb-dumb do to make you fall for him?” Minseok asks with a straight face.

“Ya!” Hyeonjoon snaps his head to glare at his roommates with his glassy eyes. Keria, who knows his roommates well, just sticks his tongue out to annoy (read: cheer) Oner even more. 

“Why are you apologising you idiot? You got sick, which means that you’re human. It’s normal.” Gumayusi reasons with a lazy voice. He then walks to sit next to Oner (the side where Sanghyeok is not at) before patting (hitting) Hyeonjoon on the back, earning him a glare too. 

“But-“ 

Zeus cuts him before Oner can continue his sentence.

“Hyung. You never got mad at me when I got sick during our academy days. You even took care of me without ever complaining. Why are you blaming yourself now? It’s fine hyung! We just want to see you healthy.” The maknae speaks with such fondness and sincerity that Minhyeong stares at him in shock.

“Ya. Wooje-ah. I didn’t know you can be so sweet? Why can’t you be sweet to this hyung too?” 

“Tch. You wish.” 

“By the way Hyeonjoon-ah…” Polt starts after watching the whole thing in silence from the corner of the room. “I told you every time we play that the winning streak is not important. Have you not been listening to my briefing???” He said jokingly. 

“Just be more careful next time okay? Not just because we need you to win, but because we want to see you healthy.” Moment adds while Asper nods from behind him. 

“See? No one blames you for getting sick.” Sanghyeok gently says as he raises his hand to pat the jungler’s head. 

“It’s not your fault, Aein-ah. Don’t ever blame yourself for something you can’t control again, Okay?” 

Hyeonjoon turns his head slightly to look at his boyfriend. The jungler stares into Sanghyeok’s fond eyes before letting out a small smile. 

“… Okay.” 

Sanghyeok, who still has a hand on Hyeonjoon’s head, places it behind Oner’s neck to guide him so that their forehead is now touching. He let it touch for a moment before moving to kiss Oner on the forehead, earning them different reactions from their friends.

“Aw… gross.” 

“It’s cute!!!”

“I did not sign up to see this sappy stuff.” 

—————————

That night, Faker decides that Oner is going to sleep with him in his room (and by that, it means manhandling Oner into his room). They were both cuddling on Faker’s bed, Oner’s arms wrapped around Sanghyeok’s waist from the back, when Faker decides to speak.

“I’m sorry for exposing our relationship like that.”

“What do you mean hyung?” Oner asks as he raises his head to look at Faker’s face.

“I know you’re not ready to tell the other about us”

Oner blinked twice before answering in confusion.

“Hyung... I thought you are the one who doesn’t want them to know?”

“What?”

“Well, you always only show your affection when we’re alone.. so I assume you want to hide it.” Hyeonjoon explains.

Sanghyeok turned his body towards Hyeonjoon’s to get a better look at his boyfriend.

“I did it because you seem so embarrassed about it, even when we’re alone. I figure you’re just not the type to do PDA.” Sanghyeok explains back.

“So.. you’re okay with us being public?” Hyeonjoon asks once more just to be sure.

“I don’t care actually. I just thought you wanted to be the one to tell them.” After saying this, Faker's face is suddenly filled with excitement, making Oner a bit cautious.

“Does this mean I can cuddle with you any time of the day? Kiss you anywhere in the HQ?” Sanghyeok asks excitedly, eyes shining in happiness which makes Hyeonjoon smile out of fondness. 

“..Just do whatever you want.” Oner answers shyly as Faker beams. 

“You know, I always wanted to cuddle at the Samsung player launch couch.”

“One step at a time, Hyung!”
