blue skies

there are a MILLION things jaebin could’ve said. option a: after reading the post about you, i picked up my mother’s calls for the first time in six months, it was awkward and horrible and less than ideal. option b: are you sure you don’t want to talk? and of course, the one he actually came out with, option c:  “ i’m fine, to be honest. ”  no will be, no would be. he’s not feeling all that bad.  “ i don’t actually have a DEGREDATION kink. ”  a pause as he makes himself comfortable in the chair in sangwon’s room. CREWD follow - ups dance on his tongue, despite the fact that he doesn’t feel quite right saying that type of shit to sangwon.  “ i have to admit, i was surprised to see your name in there too. mine? uh, ”  he shrugs, images of his fellow prince members seeing him at his WORST flashing through his mind. his lips curl into a smile, all FAUX PRIDE to hide his true feelings, self - protection at its simplest.  “ i think we can both agree that it was only a matter of time before i fucked or drank my way into some trouble. ”  he’s building up to asking sangwon the important questions, but he can’t quite yet. jaebin’s search history reads: how to speak to someone whose name you once forgot when asked to tell them that you love them?

everyone, jaebin assumes, has people they DON’T CLICK WITH. jaebin, for one, just so happens to be in a group full of them. the tour, for the most part, has been a welcome break from life in prince’s dorms. hotel rooms make a lot of things easier        bed hopping  &  day drinking among them. but for once, he and a groupmate have something in common, namely: a GOSSIP post, from some nutty bitch. he has to admit, part of him has been waiting for something like this, almost like part of him wants to commit career suicide, but he never thought that he’d see something about SANGWON, of all people. jaebin hasn’t spoken to sangwon in a long time, off camera, at least, and never about anything personal. and now, they finally have something to relate to one another on.  (  kind of. jaebin’s problem is one of his own design. a BRUISED EGO and a rumoured kink that he doesn’t even possess don’t really compare to sangwon’s troubles.  )  he knocks on sangwon’s hotel room door, wearing a sheepish expression on his face when it opens. the whole thing is terribly uncharacteristic. he speaks in a low voice, still unsure if he should even be trying here.  “ how’re you holding up? ”  no hello, no nothing. jaebin has never been good at talking about things that matter.  /  @scngwon !

     —  THEIR  HAIR  WAS  SOFT  AGAINST  YUBIN’S  CHEEK  as they lied intertwined on the younger’s bed. yubin had been somewhat mortified and at the same time laughing uncontrollably when the post exposing his scandalous sex life had been posted, since the only truth to it ( on his part ) had been the fact that he’d spent some time in naomi’s hotel room. but when the second post had been published that had stopped, and a few seconds later he’d knocked on sangwon’s door, concerned for his favourite dongsaeng that seemed to give him far too much credit.

now they were lying on sangwon’s bed as they seemed to be in need of some serious comfort. yubin didn’t know if the things in the post were true, but he suspected that they were given the situation they currently were in. “sangwonnie,” he mumbled as he stroked their hair softly. “it’s okay. no one believes that crazy lady anyways … it’s okay …” yubin bit down on his lip, trying to think of something to say that would make this easier. “do you … do you want to talk about it ?”

     mina knew that the tour was most likely taking a toll on all of them. although, the amount of tired each one of them showed was quite different, but as a dancer she felt as though she could relate. mina looked at sangwon with sympathetic eyes and ruffled their hair lovingly –– they were only two years younger than her but somehow she felt an obligation to protect them. “maybe i should invest in better headphones then ? i’ve always eyed those noise cancelling ones,” she let off a soft smile. “yes, if is the keyword since i feel like we rarely ever are alone, you know ?” she gave a little pat on their cheek as they leaned, “oh, i do recommend a nap. hiding from managers ? i’m afraid i have to support that as well.”

YUBIN: ur dear dear member SONG, YUBIN is currently lost in OSAKA, JAPAN

     —  YUBIN  HAD,  IN  VAIN,  TRIED  TO  find someone to hang out with for the better part of the day ( his antics had become A Lot and he was beginning to suspect that his group members where starting to panic ) but everyone seemed to either be busy or at rehearsals. so for the last five minutes he had been pouting as he was lying on his bed, waiting for a miracle to happen. and ( as if a miracle indeed had happened ) a few minutes later there was a soft, barely there, knock. yubin jumped off the bed and hurried toward the door. a bright smile appeared on his face when he saw who was waiting on the other side. “sungwonnie,” he cooed and pulled them closer into a tight hug. “my little teddy bear, my flower, my baby. i’ve missed you !”

◜         ° • *        ♡        / sangwon whined in embarrassment as they were pulled into a hug. yubin was always so over the top and it never failed to make the younger flustered. “hyung, i missed you too but i can’t breathe.” they whined, squirming in the older boy’s grip. they adored physical affection very much but they also really enjoyed being able to breathe. “can we go inside before someone sees us?” they asked once they had carefully detangled themselves from yubin, instead opting to hold the others hand instead.

    “–– i don’t go out in public by myself a lot,” mina began as she looked out the window longingly. her days recently ( much like everyone else’s ) are just filled with preparation with a side of a little more preparation for what was thus far the most important chapter of her life. “but the other day i did happen to go out and it reminded me why i don’t –– you hear the strangest conversations in the weirdest spots,” she huffed. “like these young kids were talking about vaping when i was weighing my bananas in the grocery store ?” she looked at the other questioningly, “i don’t know it just didn’t seem like the proper place or time !” she shook her head, “sorry, did i interrupt you saying something ? i know i kind of just rambled.”
