The dorms were freezing cold at this hour. Sanghyeok was busy scrolling on his phone, while Minseok and Minhyeong were playing TFT on their phones.
Doran and Oner however were lost in their own world. They were both busy cuddling up to each other, Hyeonjoon’s head leaning on Hyeonjun’s shoulder. While they both were busy watching a movie on Oner’s phone.
The two looked cozy together with a warm blanket draped on their shoulders. The team wasn’t surprised when the two came out to be dating.
Hyeonjun was quite obvious to the point that it physically hurts to see him act like a lost obedient puppy whenever Doran’s present. Hyeonjun would follow Doran anywhere. Recently Euijin even saw them together enter the same bathroom. Giggles and laughs were heard inside and Euijin didn’t even want to bother so he opted to go to the bathroom somewhere else.
“Jesus Christ, Hyeonjun is absolutely gone” Minseok sighed in defeat as he saw Oner looked at Doran fondly who was laughing at the movie they were watching.
“He’s not even watching the damn movie, his eyes were on Hyeonjoon hyung for the past five minutes” Minhyeong groaned into Minseok’s shoulder as they both painfully watched Hyeonjun kiss the top of their hyung’s head.
Doran shuffled closer to Oner seeking his warmth. Hyeonjun immediately wrapped his arm around Doran’s waist pulling him even closer.
“Is it still cold hyung? Want me to make you hot coffee? Hm?” Hyeonjun quietly said, his gaze turning into a softer look. Fussing over his hyung who’s slowly turning into a tomato from all the attention.
“Junnie never talks to us like that. I haven’t even heard him use that kind of tone”
“Clearly it’s boyfriend privileges” Minhyeong snorted as he watched Hyeonjun grab more blankets to wrap their hyung with, Doran now looking like a burrito.
“Junnie~ I look ridiculous” Doran whines as he pouts at Hyeonjun, his cheeks puffing up making him even cuter in Hyeonjun’s eyes.
Sanghyeok stifled a smile as he watched the exchanges between the two. Minseok made a gagging noise while Minhyeong was busy taking a picture of the two.
“At this rate we’ll get diabetes before the year ends” Minseok mumbled as he leaned on Minhyeong’s shoulder.
“I can’t believe I have to deal with the four of you for the whole year” Sanghyeok teasingly said as he put down his phone to cross his arms.
Minhyeong chuckled as he held Minseok’s hand tightly. “Good for you hyung, you’ll get to watch the four of us all lovey-dovey”
Sanghyeok playfully rolled his eyes as he slowly got up from the couch. Disappearing into the hallway leaving the four of them in the living room.
“Ya! Hyeonjoon hyung you guys only have twenty minutes left before the stream starts. “ Minseok grumbled as he got up from the couch and stretched his limbs.
Doran nodded his head “Come on Junnie, let’s finish the movie later” Hyeonjoon called out as he started to shrug off the blankets around him.
Hyeonjun groaned in protest before standing up and offering to pull Doran on his feet. Making him stumble and crash directly into Hyeonjun’s sturdy chest.
“You bastard! You did that on purpose” Hyeonjoon hissed as he playfully slapped Oner’s chest which earned the latter a cheeky smile.
“Anything to keep you close” Hyeonjun grinned proudly as he clung to the older’s arm. Resting his chin on the top of Doran’s shoulder.
“I can’t deal with this, I'm going out first” Minseok gagged as he quickly left the scene, Minhyeong following along, his laugh echoing the hallway.
“What’s got you so clingy today?” Hyeonjoon teasingly said as he playfully tried to shake Oner off his shoulder. Which only made Hyeonjun’s grip on Doran tighter, refusing to be seperated away.
“I don’t know either hyung, hell i’m not even clingy but whenever i’m with you i can’t help it” Hyeonjun murmured as he looked up at him with the softest look. Hyeonjoon’s heart swelled as he wasn’t able to resist and leaned down to give Hyeonjun a soft kiss.
“Come on you big baby, we still have a stream to do” Hyeonjoon chuckled as he both led them out of the room.
For the past couple of days the fans have been noticing Hyeonjun’s sickly sweet behavior. Whenever the two would stream, Hyeonjun can’t help but to get his hyung’s attention.
“Hyung, what are you doing?”
“Let’s play together”
“Don’t do it alone”
“I’ll play on my alt acc, so we can play”
At this point all the fans knew, Hyeonjun was absolutely down bad for this man. He isn’t even making an effort to hide it. Oner knew the fans were downright calling him out right now probably on twitter. He admits that he is a simp. Hell, he can’t even distinguish who’s got it worse, him or Minnhyeong? But seeing how Hyeonjoon shines like an absolute sun whenever he gets his way. Damn, Hyeonjun would do anything to keep that smile even if it meant he looked absolutely silly in the eyes of others.
“Oner the man that you are”
“I know what you are”
“We can’t even save them anymore”
Oner laughed in defeat as he accepted his fate. With a small smile on his lips, he slowly nodded. He’s aware of the fans completely losing their mind, so why not turn up the heat? He thinks that his fans are smart enough to find out what their relationship is anyway.
He opened his chat with Hyeonjoon and quickly typed a chat “ Hyung, I remember that you lost the bet. Can we grab coffee now?” With a satisfied smile he waited for Hyeonjoon to reply, he didn’t care if the fans probably saw his chat. He wants to spend time with his Hyeonjoon hyung now.
He can’t wait for their streams to end, they have a coffee date to plan after all. A few hours passed and streams finally ended. Oner immediately stood up from his seat and headed to Doran’s streaming room, not bothering to knock.
“Hyung~ you owe me coffee” Oner playfully whined as he leaned on the door watching Doran clean up his desk.
“We’ll go tomorrow Junnie, where do you want to go?” Hyeonjoon said as he finished setting his things aside.
“You pick Hyunie hyung~ I’m fine with wherever. As long as you’re with me” Oner smiles cheekily as he makes a move to hug Hyeonjoon.
Doran mischievously dodged Hyeonjun’s attempt to hug him.
“Can’t catch me!” Hyeonjoon yelled as he started running off with a loud laugh echoing the hallways with Oner catching up through loud thundering steps.
The two comically ran around the dorm, Oner trying to catch Doran around the couch. Giggles and laughs being heard as Hyeonjun finally caught Doran in his arms. The two laughed their hearts out as the adrenaline slowly died.
“I love you, you know that right?” Oner slowly said as he cupped Hyeonjoon’s cheek softly.
Doran hummed in response nuzzling Hyeonjun’s hand and nodded “You never fail to show it Junnie, I’m thankful that i’m being loved by a person like you”
With that the two fell into a comforting silence as they cuddled each other. Meanwhile the rest of the team were huddled up behind the door as they watched the two secretly.
“You know, it makes me happy that Hyeonjun shines brighter when he’s with Hyeonjoon hyung”
“They compliment together well, they orbit around each other”
“It feels good seeing them both in love even if it’s disgustingly sweet. I feel like i’ll get diabetes watching them” Minseok snorted as he fondly stared at the two who finally dozed off on the couch cuddling each other. Sanghyeok ushered the two as they slowly closed the door not wanting to disturb the couple any longer.
Days passed by and finally it was the weekend where no stream was scheduled by the staff. The team can finally take a break from the streams and spend time with other things. For Oner, it was the perfect day to have a date with his Hyeonjoon hyung. Who was currently waiting for him outside his room.
Hyeonjun quickly fixed his hair and rushed out the door to meet Doran who was patiently waiting for him.
“Took you long enough” Hyeonjoon teased as he reached out to tousle Oner’s hair, fixing it the way he likes it best.
“Come on hyung, we have a whole day to ourselves” Hyeonjun excitedly cheered as he grabbed his hand and hurriedly tugged him towards the elevator. A laughter bubbling out as he lets Oner guide him out the building.
The two ended up going to the cafe located in the Jongno district. The bells slowly chimed as the two entered the cafe. It was brightly lit up properly, the sun was shining through the windows and there were only a few people at this early in the morning. It was peaceful, a perfect place for the two of them to have their date.
The two decided to settle and sit down near the window where you could see the scenery outside. The city slowly came to life as the sun became more prominent. Hyeonjun stood up and left to order their drinks and food.
While waiting Hyeonjoon looked out through the window, his body relaxing naturally as he propped his hand on his chin. He didn’t think that it was possible to feel so at peace. Just a few months ago, he thought that he had to leave Korea to go to the lpl. A place wherein he was not familiar with, a place where home was far away. If he went through with that plan, the entire trajectory of his life would have changed everything, even in his career.
But right now, watching the familiar streets and scenery. He would never trade this for anything. Especially now that he’s in T1, he’s playing with the best players in the world. Hell, now he’s even close with his idol. A smile curled on his lips as he exhaled slowly.
“Hyung? A penny for your thoughts?” A soft voice reached out through his inner thoughts as he turned around and the world slowed down as Oner made his way towards him with their drinks and food on the tray.
They say home is where the heart is and right now as their eyes gazed at each other. Hyeonjoon knew where his heart was. It was with his new family, T1. It was with Hyeonjun, and with that realization a rush of warmth and affection filled his heart and it made his eyes water. He never wants to lose this.
Hyeonjun clearly noticing the shift of mood that Doran was in he quickly sets down their tray and rushed to his side.
“Hey baby, why are you tearing up? Did i do something?” Hyeonjun softly whispered as he reached out to wipe the tears that were threatening to come out from Doran’s eyes.
He quickly shook his head and awkwardly laughed. “No it was nothing, I was just overwhelmed.” Hyeonjoon shyly said as he avoided Oner’s gaze on him.
Hyeonjun held his hand tightly and grazed his knuckles gently. “I want to know your thoughts, if you would let me in please?” Oner gently pleaded his eyes filled with concern and worry.
Hyeonjun hates seeing Doran upset. He wanted to know his thoughts, feelings, anything. It hurts his heart whenever he sees something wavering in Hyeonjoon’s eyes.
Doran sighed as he slowly calmed down from his panicked state “It’s just, I was thinking of how my life would have been so different if I wasn’t here in T1. I just felt thankful that I'm at peace right now with our team, with you.”
Hyeonjun let out a small smile and chuckled. His hand reached out to gently touch Doran’s cheek. His heart filling up with affection. He carefully searched through Hyeonjoon’s eyes before answering.
“You were meant to be here hyung with us, with me. I thank my lucky stars that brought us together.” Hyeonjun gently said with the utmost affection he could give.
Hyeonjoon smiled brightly, his cheeks puffing up cutely. “Thank you for always being there”
“I’m always here with you hyung, no matter what. Nothing could ever make me lose sight of you”
The two smiled at each other lovingly as their hands intertwined. “Now come on hyung, i bought us waffles too” Hyeonjun buzzed happily as he sat down next to him.
“Wait, I was supposed to pay! I lost the bet!” Hyeonjoon panicked as he swats Oner’s arm. “You really think i’ll let you pay? Not on my watch. Plus, it was just an excuse for us to be on a date” Hyeonjun winked at him.
“You’re so annoying” Doran pouted at him as he reached out to grab his plate of waffles. Hyeonjun chuckled as he handed it to him. “Mhm, I know” Hyeonjun hummed as he sipped on his coffee and a wide satisfied smile graced his lips.
“Damn now that's good coffee” Hyeonjun smiled as he took another sip. “Try it hyung” Hyeonjun nudged Doran’s shoulder to try his and see if he liked it.
Doran nods his head and grabs the coffee near him, taking an experimental sip his eyes light up and he takes another. “It’s spanish latte, it’s not too sweet” Hyeonjun hums as he reaches out for Doran’s plate of waffles and starts slicing it up to little pieces.
“I can do that myself” Doran argues as he reaches out to his plate but Hyeonjun scooches it away. “Let me, I like doing things like this for you” Doran sighs as he watches Hyeonjun cut up his waffles. If Doran thinks about it, Oner has always been doing these types of things.
Whenever Hyeonjoon needed something, Oner was quick to give. Oner didn’t even need to be told he just does it. Hyeonjun would always hold his bag, makes sure that his food is a balanced meal, checks up on him whenever he feels sad, waits for him outside the practice room because he opted to practice more while the others already headed out, fixing his hair when it’s a little messy, remembering the little things about him.
Hyeonjoon slowly smiles as he watches Oner spread the icing to each waffle. He always thought love would be a rollercoaster of emotions and chaos. But for the first time, love doesn’t feel like a rollercoaster. It feels safe and peaceful. He thinks that this man right beside him, makes it easy.
“Come on hyunie, I finished cutting up your waffles” Hyeonjun cheerily said as he held up a piece of waffle for Doran to eat. “You should eat your own food love” Doran chuckled as he took a bite, immediately tasting the divine as he slowly munched.
“But i want to feed you” Hyeonjun cutely whines as he puts down the fork and reaches out for his own plate of food.
Hyeonjoon chuckles and pinches Oner’s cheek. “Stop whining and eat, you can pamper me later”
Hyeonjun whines “Hyung, stop pinching my cheek”
“Stop being cute first” Doran chuckled as Hyeonjun’s cheek turned a shade of red as he got flustered.
The two spent time eating peacefully, a few hushed conversations as the cafe slowly started to fill up with people. Hyeonjun scooted closer to Doran their shoulders touching as the soft hum of the music filled their ears.
“Ye? Hyeonjoon hyung?” A surprised voice startled the two as both Doran and Oner turned around. Man this really is confusing if you both have the same names.
Hyeonjun almost choked on his own spit as he was able to recognize the person, well people actually. Damn, he did not expect this at all. If he had been holding his phone he would immediately dialed the whole entire team because he did not expect this.
The people in front of were none other Geonwoo and Wooje. It was just the two of them and Oner did not know what to feel about it. But he felt something, based from the fans reaction to Geonwoo and Zeus in twitter. Geonwoo liked Zeus, Hyeonjun knew because Geonwoo does the exact same things he does to Doran.
“Geonwoo-ah and Wooje-ssi what are you doing here?” Doran said as he stood up to greet the two.
“Hyeonjoon hyung, it’s been a while” Zeka greets Doran with a smile on his face as he reaches out to give him a quick hug. “What are you both doing here?” Oner says as he quickly recovers from shock as he eyed Wooje carefully.
“Geonwoo hyung said he’ll treat me” Wooje innocently said as he nudged Zeka. Who was suspiciously quiet avoiding Oner’s gaze. Hyeonjun’s protective instincts took over as he eyed Zeka.
“Geonwoo hyung, you’re treating the maknae well huh?” Hyeonjun slowly says as his eyes turned into slits, Oner straightening his back in attempt to look serious and intimidating. Which earned him a smack on the back from Doran.
“Ow hyung” Hyeonjun whines as he massages his back. Doran immediately glares at him, signing that he should not continue with what he was planning to do.
Hyeonjun pouts at him as his eyes flickers back to the two members from HLE. “Well, have fun to the both of you. Make sure to spend the whole day together” Hyeonjoon smiles at the two as he gives a well hidden thumbs up to Zeka, who immediately flushed in embarrassment.
“I’m glad Hyeonjun hyung has a boyfriend now” Wooje inserts as he holds his laugh, pulling Geonwoo away by his arm away from the two.
“Ya! Hyeonjun hyung, you better promise to tell the story next time!” Wooje yells with a teasing smile on his face as the two disappeared into the other side of the cafe.
Oner blinks slowly trying to process what just happened. “Did they just-” Hyeonjun stutters out as he points towards the direction where the two disappeared into.
“Baby calm down, you look like you were about to attack Geonwoo” Doran chuckles as he goes back to sit down pulling Hyeonjun with him.
“But he’s dating our Wooje! I have to call the hyungs about this!” Hyeonjun complains as he grabs his phone on the table which was grabbed by Doran.
“Calm down love, they’re probably not there yet” Hyeonjoon softly says as he holds Oner’s hand. “But baby Wooje is still-” Hyeonjun tries to argue but Doran puts a finger to his lips successfully shutting him up.
“I know, but you gotta let them figure things out first. I know that you’re protective especially with Wooje, but you have to give them time” Hyeonjoon patiently says as he pats Oner’s head.
Hyeonjun sighs as he slowly nods. “I’m just worried for Wooje, it’s his first time out there without us with him”
Doran nods his head as he reaches out to pat Hyeonjun’s cheek. “If Wooje needs help he will reach out, be patient love. Plus i can guarantee you, knowing Geonwoo? He’s a good man for Wooje if you ask me” Hyeonjoon smiles to comfort and ease Oner’s nerves.
After their talk the two resumed finishing up their food. “You know hyung, let’s add cafe dates to our list of to do’s” Hyeonjun hums as he stacked their plates and sets it to the side.
Doran hums in agreement, feeling happy with how their date went. “So that’s our thing now huh?” Hyeonjoon says as he stands up to clean up their table.
“Yep, it’s our signature thing. You gonna tell the fans you took me out on a date?” Hyeonjun teasingly says as he wraps his arm around Doran’s waist.
“As if, i like letting them speculate about how it’s always you reaching out to me” Doran teasingly stuck out his tongue and giggled. Making Oner roll his eyes at him.
“You’re lucky i’m that down bad for you” Oner sighs as he pecked Hyeonjoon’s cheek.
“Damn you’re that clingy hyung?!” Wooje suddenly appears with a teasing grin on his lips. Wooje shot him a mischievous glint in his eyes before leaving to go back to Geonwoo who was waiting for him at the table. Wooje the not so innocent maknae, wrapped his arm around Geonwoo’s shoulder knowing the two were watching him. Before Oner could even reply, Doran quickly ushered him out the cafe.
“I swear that kid is not that innocent!” Hyeonjun huffed as he watched the two through the glass door. “Let’s leave them be, come on let’s go back to the dorms. I want to cuddle” Doran playfully pouts, making his eyes bigger and it completely works on Oner who already forgot the scene beforehand. Hyeonjun nearly dragged Doran to the station.
When the duo came back to the dorms they immediately collapsed inside Hyeonjun’s room, Doran’s head already buried in the pillows and groaning. Hyeonjun took off his jacket and hung it before joining Doran in his bed. Immediately pulling Doran closer to his body as he wrapped his arms around him.
Hyeonjun tried to rub off the sleepiness in his eyes “Well did you enjoy our date?” Hyeonjun sleepily says as he buries his face on Doran’s neck inhaling his scent. Hyeonjoon nodded his head as he yawned, feeling the fatigue sinking in.
“Let’s sleep please?” Hyeonjoon sleepily said as he slowly began to nod off into dreamland with Oner holding him close. The two peacefully sleep in each other’s warm embrace.
After their successful coffee date, the past few days have been filled with streams for the members. It would last at least for 5 hours as each player spends time communicating with the fans and playing with their fellow T1 players. Doran appreciated these moments since it’s filled with laughs and smiles. Despite solo queue being an absolute ass sometimes, he enjoys playing steam games with his members.
Which was funny since he wasn’t even a steam guy player. Hell many of his former teammates tried their best asking him to play other games with them other than league. He didn’t falter once with their requests but right now as he re downloads the chain game, he could definitely say this could be better than playing league everytime.
“Sanghyeok hyung, who are we waiting for to join?” Hyeonjoon asks as he begins to warm up, his fans in the chat celebrating to see him play a game that isn’t league.
“We got Euijin and Ojunnie” Sanghyeok hums through the mic as he fixes his setup. Doran’s eyes widens hearing that Hyeonjun is actually joining them this time, after he rejected his offer last time. The chat hearing the news immediately started flooding his chat.
“Oner is finally playing chain game?!”
“I’m excited to see Oner’s reaction”
“He definitely joined because our Dorannie is playing it too~”
The last chat made Hyeonjoon shy as he scratched the back of his neck. He clears his throat as a distraction when a familiar voice finally joins their discord call.
“Ya! This game better be worth playing” Hyeonjun murmurs through the mic as Sanghyeok starts sending invites in his lobby. Hyeonjun quickly accepted and just like that the game started.
You could say the whole entire team was a disaster. Oner misses most of his jumps which earned a collective groan from the others, as Doran watches the four of them fall for the 5th time. “This damn game is starting to piss me off” Hyeonjun groans from the other end of the call as he lets out a frustrated sigh.
Doran laughs out loud as he hears the frustrated screams from the rooms beside him. “This is driving me insane, why are we this bad?” Euijin whines out loud which earned a chuckle from Sanghyeok.
“Clearly me and Sanghyeok hyung are carrying~” Hyeonjoon teasingly says as he hears exasperated groans through the call. “I agree with Dorannie” Sanghyeok’s voice comes through as the two start to protest against the claim. The four of them try again, which you could say is going further than expected which made Sanghyeok happy.
It took them about another two hours before the four finally gave up. Meanwhile it just took 30 minutes before Oner lost his sanity. His entire patience was being tested and it made him want to uninstall the game. But of course he didn’t do it because it was one of the games that Doran plays other than league. If it makes his hyung happy for the cost of his patience and sanity might as well try.
He even almost cussed out his hyung for driving so badly. It made them lose half of their progress and he was about to lose his hair if they had to start over again. Then again it was enjoyable with the synergy they all had. It was pure chaos but it made his heart and stomach burn with laughter and affection. Hyeonjun wanted to treasure moments like this with his team along with his Hyunie hyung.
It makes Hyeonjun content seeing his Hyunie hyung settle well with the team. Everyone loved that man, which wasn’t hard to do. Doran had everyone wrapped around his finger, the fans, the team, and him most especially.
Oner’s chat has been teasing him the whole entire stream. Calling him out for his sickening sweet actions towards his Hyunie. He can’t bother hiding his affection, he was just that obvious.
“Mr. Moon we know what you are”
“I’m patiently waiting for dispatch to expose 2hj”
“Our jungler is gone for our toplaner, there’s no other explanation for this”
Oh how much Hyeonjun wanted to expose his relationship. But considering his fans, they all probably know by now. He was about to get up from his chair when a knock came through his door. The person on the other side of the door struts in and it was none other than his beloved boyfriend. Who was wearing on overly big hoodie to which Oner quickly realized was his.
“I bought you coffee” Hyeonjoon excitedly presents the hot brew coffee he ordered a few hours ago to Oner with a proud smile on his face.
Hyeonjun raises his eyebrows in confusion “Ye? What’s this for hyung?” Hyeonjun chuckles as he accepts the hot drink and sets it down on his table.
“Well clearly during our date it was you who paid for the coffee when it was supposed to be me, so I had to buy this one specifically for you” Doran proudly smiles as Oner breaks out into a fit of laughter.
“Hyung you didn’t need to”
“But i wanted to”
“But it’s supposed to be–”
“Didn’t you say this is our thing now? It’s a give and take babe”
Hyeonjun sighs as he gives up the fight. But a small smile breaks out to his lips as he reaches out for Doran’s hand. “Thank you for buying it for me hyung” Hyeonjun quickly gives a tender kiss to Doran’s cheek as a sign of appreciation.
Hyeonjoon sweetly smiles at him and nudges his hand. “Come on drink it, before the coffee gets cold”
With that it’s been a thing for the two to go on cafe dates. Exploring different kinds of coffee, experimenting with the different flavors. You could say cafe dates are their thing now. Whenever they had time, they would go visit different cafes in Seoul.
Even when it was just simple cute dates, nothing that grand. They just seem to love each other more. They always gravitate towards each other no matter where they are. But sitting here on the rooftop with the wind blowing in from time to time, Hyeonjoon who was in front of him, who’s eyes were twinkling clearly enjoying his coffee and waffles. His hair being tousled gently by the wind.
Hyeonjun’s heart began to stutter from the sight. Everything was at peace and it felt like coming home.
“Come on love, stop staring at this rate your coffee is going to get cold”
Ah the sweet aroma of coffee and a gentle breeze on a cold night with the love of his life. Oner should thank his lucky stars tonight.
