⭑ ting ting.

The doorbell made a cute little sound as he entered the cafe being the last one of the 8 boys who had just finished their photoshoot for their debut album at a desert which was about 2 hours away from here. San smiled in excitement, his dimples on display as he went ahead to sit with the rest of his members. The soft chit chat of people could be heard as he walked towards the rest and cool air coming from a nearby open window touched his smooth skin making him shiver a bit. The weather was definitely of his liking, all thanks to the month of October who was somehow bringing them nice rainfall too.

"San! Come sit with me" Wooyoung waved his hand and smiled as he nodded.

"Hongjoong hyung is buying us all coffee today!" Mingi joked making the leader's boba eyes widen as he punched his shoulder.

"When did I say that?" Hongjoong grumbled softly making the boys as well as their manager laugh.

"Well your injury got better we should celebrate that and our debut right? As our leader you should treat us" Jonho's lips curled upwards as he spoke in delight.

"Alright alright" the leader agreed making the boys cheer out loud.

Once they were done going through the menu and ordering their drinks the boys started their own gossip session while waiting. Seonghwa who hadn't spoken a single word throughout just sat back on his seat, resting his hands on the table and tapping on it making random sounds as he stared the small blond haired male infront of him.

Hongjoong looked absolutely breathtaking with his somewhat dark blond hair or whatever the hair dye was, Seonghwa didn't know what to call it nor did he care, and his mullet haircut. Well ofcourse he was the most adorable in his pink hair but this Hongjoong was no less stunning. It suited him so much. His white collarbones were on display through the open buttons of his white shirt hanging down at his black baggy jeans and a blue cross bag swinging on his waist when he'd move from his chair every now and then. He observed how the younger would throw small gentle punches to the others when they'd tease him and laugh covering his mouth with his small hands. He looked gorgeous. So fucking gorgeous.

"Hwa hyung?" The older let out a little 'hmm' still not moving his eyes from the leader.

"Your drink is here." Yeosang nudged his arm with his elbow finally pulling him out of the hypnotises.

"Oh? Yeah thanks" he grabbed the glass from the other's hand and started to mix the drink with his straw taking a small sip.

"Why do you seem to be so lost?" Yunho whispered near his ear. A small smirk formed on his face which made Seonghwa roll his eyes and push his head away only to make the other whine.

"Tell me Park Seonghwa" he spoke again.

"Hongjoong" The older's reply made him raise his eyebrows and look at the leader then back at him, again the leader and then him. Again the- well it continued for a few seconds before black haired male hit his head.

"Stop overreacting" Seonghwa spoke taking another sip of his iced americano.

"Well why in the world are you looking so lost because of joongie?"

Seonghwa grunted and shook his head telling him to back off but ofcourse Yunho in no universe would do that. At all.

"You like him don't you?" He spoke wiggling his thin eyebrows making the older choke on his drink so loud the others instantly informed even through their loud conversation. His face went white for a second, colour leaving his body. Yeosang sitting on his left, quickly slapped his back a few times and rubbed it gently.

"You good?" Wooyoung asked making him give out little nods as he coughed into the sleeve of his shirt.

"Y-yeah yeah I'm good" he replied also giving Yunho a side eye still a bit surprised by his words but the other didn't seem to care one bit and started at him innocently while sipping his drink.

"Hyung can I try your drink?" Hongjoong asked giving out his signature smile making his heart skip a beat. Pink colour rushing to his cheeks as he nodded and gave the other his drink without saying a word.

"I still can't get used to them being nice to eachother" Mingi spoke as he shook his head and chuckled.

"I know right? God it's like they were just at eachother's throats yesterday" Wooyoung giggled.

Hongjoong made a face as the bitter taste of the drink met his tastebuds. This drink was definitely not for him and he knew but he was curious. He thanked the oldest and turned his head away towards the random story San was telling now. We just had an indirect kiss.

Seonghwa took another sip of his drink, holding onto his straw with a tight grip as his face flushed over the thoughts forming in his head. However the thoughts were soon disturbed by the tap on his shoulders making him look towards the owner again. Yunho had a smirk on his face again and he kept wiggling his eyebrows making the man sigh and mentally facepalm himself

"So ya like him or what? Yunho asked and he frowned as shook his head aggressively.

"Ofcourse not. I'm straight did you forget?"

"Mhmmm straight as circle" the male drew an invisible circle on the white table with his finger and grinned as he looked back into the older's eyes.

"As if there was a ghost being all smoochy woochy with him after dance practice a while ago"

Seonghwa choked on his drink for the second time, his face going hot, ears burning in red. The members were once again pulled out from their chatter and looked at him in confusion. Yeosang doing the same move he did a few minutes ago and the rest either staring in concern or giggling at the look the oldest male's face.

"Hyung what is with you today?" San giggled making the rest laugh as well.

Seonghwa's eyes averted to Hongjoong who was looking back at him smiling which made him slightly chuckle in embarrassment and throw his fingers through his hair.

"Ah well Yunho here keeps saying absolutely diabolical stuff that if anyone ever hears us they'll freak out ahaha yeah" he threw the male beside him a murderous look while gritting his teeth a bit as he spoke.

Yunho just grinned in return shrugging his shoulders as the members look at him and shook his head as a 'i have no idea about what this guy is saying don't question me'.

Once the boys were done with their little break they grabbed their belongings and wore their jackets as advised by the staff due to the weather getting a bit more chilly since the sun was near setting allowing the light blue sky from earlier to now be covered in dusky lavender and glowing tangerine colours melting into a eachother creating a dreamy look. It was time for them to head out to another photoshoot point for them to continue with the concept photos, this time being a dark version.

"How the fuck do you know about that?" Seonghwa gripped Yunho's shoulders making him stop and look at him.

"You mean when you were pinning to the wall and playing smoochy wooochy with him?" Yunho asked purposely to tease the older. A devilish smile playing on his lips as he faced the older and started walking making the other walk as well.

"S-stop saying that shut up already and tell me how" Seonghwa's could feel his cheeks going on fire as the thought of the younger watching them as they kissed played in his mind. God save me.

"WELL if you're this curious I suppose I'll tell you. When I left I remembered that I accidentally brought your phone with mine and I walked back to return howeverrr I saw you both kissing. I left immediately and that's why you were confused to find it at the kitchen counter when you could've sworn you didn't forget it at the dorms" He explained and glanced at the other who seemed to be nodding lightly, zoned out.

"Righttt okay" He spoke making Yunho almost hit him but the male thought about the consequences and decided not to.

"Okay? That's it?? I demand an explaination right now Seonghwa-shii"

God what did I even do for you to send me a Yunho? Ah how the fuck do I explain this to him now. If Hongjoong finds out he'd kill me or worse, he won't kiss me ever again. NOOOOO!
