Chapter Text
Jinwoo goes in his room, his hands sweating, and closes the door behind him. He leans against the wall a bit, flashbacks coming to him from years ago but he shakes his head to send them away. Why would those memories come back now? He’s over that.
The fact that he just came out to his members could’ve triggered him but he shouldn’t let those feelings take over him anymore. Those times are over. He’s happy now. His members make him feel loved, they just proved it by supporting him. But it’s not like he really had to worry about them. This wasn’t the first time he’s told them - at least not all of them.
“Babe” a shadow rises from the corner of the room. Jinwoo looks there and all his anxieties are gone in a second. He smiles and looks up at Seunghoon.
Seunghoon actually came out to Jinwoo first, almost a year ago. Jinwoo smiles remembering. Everything went so fast. They started to become really close, Seunghoon came out to him then Jinwoo did the same. Surprised, the other boy admitted his feelings and they soon became the most secret couple in the company. No one even suspected their relationship. At first Jinwoo only gave in to Seunghoon because he was still depressed back then and desperately needed someone to give him ease but he soon realized he didn’t just need him for his desires his past put in him. He liked Seunghoon’s company and after a while started to feel a tingling sensation even when they just sat close or looked at each other. He started to think of him in the most unexpected situations and missed him even when they just parted. Even though they didn’t do much as boyfriends so things will stay a secret,, Seunghoon seemed to be satisfied with what Jinwoo could offer him.
“I told you not to worry about it” he says smiling, closing in the space between the two boys so Jinwoo has to tilt his head back.
“Yeah” Jinwoo smiles back.” When do you think can we announce “us”?” he asks.
“Hey, let’s not hurry things” Seunghoon says, slowly putting his hand to Jinwoo’s ass then squeezing it.
Jinwoo squints.
“Why not?” he asks and puts his arms around Seunghoon’s neck.
“Let’s get away from the door” motions Seunghoon then they blend into the white bedsheets. Being rough but silent is their speciality, they’ve become so good at it. The walls were also soundproof in the yg building - they probably weren’t the first people needing it.
Half an hour later everything is clean and just as it was before. Seunghoon walks out of the room, his hair slightly sweaty but that could just be from the heat always coming from Jinwoo hyung’s room.
A bit later Jinwoo leaves his room too, still in a sexual mood but trying to get himself together. He’s hoping not to meet anyone as he walks towards the kitchen but finds Mino looking through the cupboards. He wants to leave just as he came but the younger boy calls for him.
“Hyung” he says and Jinwoo turns around with a slightly forced smile.” You hungry?”
“Are you cooking something?” Jinwoo asks.
“I only know how to make ramen” Mino says awkwardly.
“Okay I’ll eat with you” Jinwoo suddenly decides. The younger boy’s smile always warms his heart, just being around him puts him in a good mood.
Mino puts the water on the gas and starts preparing the ingredients.
“Jinwoo” he says, his back towards the other boy.” About what you said…”
Jinwoo tenses and his smile fades.
“If you feel awkward about it…”
“No, it’s not that” Mino says turning around.” You know I’ll be busy starting from tomorrow, which I’m really sorry about. I’d rather be busy with you all. But I just want you to know, you can always talk to me, about anything. Even while I’ll be away, you can always call me. Promise me you’ll call?” he asks with a small smile and Jinwoo can’t help but smile too.
“Hey, the water is already boiling!” Jinwoo says walking to the stove and pushing Mino gently aside.” Let me do this.”
“Right, you have more experience with cooking” Mino nods.
Jinwoo’s heart is beating a little faster but he tells himself it’s still because of the sex he had an hour ago. Mino’s kind words felt good though. Seunghoon never gets romantic with him.
The two boys don’t realize but someone has been watching them from afar. Taehyun walks in their studio and finds Seungyoon there, gently strumming his guitar.
“Ah, Taehyun-ah” Seungyoon mumbles but doesn’t really pay attention to the boy.
Taehyun sits down in front of the computer and for about half an hour tries to write music but ends up putting his headphones down in frustration.
He looks at Seungyoon who’s still humming and playing the guitar but it doesn’t seem like he’s writing serious music because he isn’t writing any of it down. Taehyun still waits until he stop though.
“Hey Seungyoon” the called boy looks at his red fingers.
“Yeah?” he asks.
“Do you think there’s something between Hyung and Mino?” Taehyun gets straight to the point.
Seungyoon laughs a little.
“Hey, just because Jinwoo came out to us doesn’t mean he necessarily has to like someone from us. Stop assuming things” he says.
“It’s just when I think of it… because I never looked at it that way. But they do seem a it closer don’t they?” he asks.
“We’re quite close too aren’t we?” Seungyoon replies.
“Yeah but we’re just friends” Taehyun says smiling.
“So are they” says Seungyoon confidently but his mind starts spinning too.
“Never mind” Taehyun replies and goes back to editing his songs.
They both pretend to work hard on a song but they are actually deep in thought about everything that has been said that day.
Would Jinwoo’s coming out change things in the group?
