walking with a low profile and a hood over his head, kai's each step towards the restaurant bogum had wished to visit. he was paying for it, kai was accepting of free meals, really. stepping out into the street light above when he joined his friend, only then did kai plop his hoodie down from his head, revealing his sharp jaw against the moonlight and the fringe spilled over his eyes. swiping them away briefly, he leaned forward on his toes a bit in his canvas shoes. kai had wanted to blend in so he had decided on a casual pair of jeans, some popular shoes among people their ages that weren't worth a mortgage payment nearly. the dark grey hoodie he shrouded himself with hid a dark tee beneath -- simple, neat enough but also able to stay under the radar.
"'course i am. i always keep my word with you, bogum. don't i?" it had been quite the journey to get to the destination but they could talk about it over their meal if bogum so wished for more details on how he'd managed to escape the confines of the dorms. rolling his shoulders effortlessly, they were loose and relaxed as they settled back in place. "i take every opportunity to sneak out, are you kidding?" kai shot back, a small joke despite it being truthful. he enjoyed exploring this new world they were in, eager to soak up as much of it as he could.
given the prompt to enter and the brief pat, kai's nose caught the instant waft of the different broth scents mixing heavily in the air, ears catching random chatter as he passed by and took to the corner area spotted by bogum. easing into the stool, kai heaved out a large sigh and his chest deflated almost in defeat, showcasing his exhaustion. he was rarely showing his weaknesses, exhaustion being one of them. he couldn't remain sharp if he were tired and unable to sleep well.
after the menu exchange and the pair ordered food, it was presented neatly. each bowl steaming, slices of pork looking tender and cooked to perfection, the noodles were the most important part of the meal though. kai wasn't worried about it, knowing bogum had found a few nice hotspots since they arrived in this new realm. "you do know that's the only reason i agreed to sneaking out. i couldn't pass up a free meal," he joked, voice lighthearted which was sometimes a rare occurrence for kai.
before he could proceed to dig into his bowl after scraping his own chopsticks together, bogum's voice caught his ears and kai instantly rose his gaze to look up at the guy who felt like a grounding company in moments where kai needed someone to look up to. the broth scent was already causing his mouth to water. his eyes remained on bogum, watching how his head was tilted down as kai slurped up some noodles and chewed them around. the honesty pouring out of bogum's mouth caused a swell of comfort in kai's chest walls, dissolving some of the intense pressure he'd been feeling upon his shoulders lately.
"trust me, bogum. i know you're there. and i am well aware i don't have to put on a fucking filter around you or be someone i'm not." gratefully accepting the egg, he grasped it inbetween his sticks and plopped it into his mouth. the flavor burst and caused his veins to feel alive for that brief moment. kai got lost in the scrumptious ramen, sipping a spoonful of the broth a moment later.
bogum still seemed serious, explaining he could be the shield kai needed at times from the light, from the fame. "i'll keep that in mind. i promise." his own words genuine and a small lopsided smile quirked onto his lips briefly. scooping up more noodles, the slight slurping sound fell between them once silence settled around the pair like a comforting familiar warmth. despite keeping himself distanced typically, once kai had arrived in the parallel universe, he'd found it easier to navigate at bogum's side. the other male gave him a sense of comfort even if he wasn't saying it aloud. he was sure bogum got the sentiment, just in the way kai occasionally peered up at him as if he were his own personal idol to look up to.
chewing the last of the noodles he practically inhaled, kai swallowed and took a grateful sip of the crisp hot green tea. it warmed his esophagus and settled in his stomach, warmth of more relief spreading through his worn body. "i don't mind being just two guys hanging out at the ramen shop. in fact, i'd probably prefer it." and with that statement, kai was promising to soak into the time they had away from the limelight and the flashing cameras.
"what did you think about practice yesterday?" kai suddenly wondered, picking up a vegetable and crunching on it while he awaited an answer. though, he interrupted the silence, "and please be honest. i've been rehearsing these new moves even in my own room after hours before crashing at night." well, and after he'd had at least one bottle of beer to relax his aching muscles.
"do you think we'll be able to pull off this new song debut?" kai had a lot of hope in their unit but he also had some reservations and cautious thoughts about it. there were still some rough places as a group, as if some of the other guys didn't click as easily as kai and bogum had. they seemed more in sync with each other than anyone else in their unit. "i'm mostly worried about everyone else, if i'm honest." clearing his throat, "just don't ever tell anyone i said i was. this is a sacred place of eating where secrets shared are kept here. right?" it was almost always a given unspoken rule wherever they explored and ate their next scrumptious meal. whether it be at a cafΓ© of sorts, a bakery, a ramen shop, sushi joint, bogum and kai never spoke of what was said between either of them in their private hours after work during their meals.
it was one reason kai could put his full trust in bogum. at first, he'd give him small insights into how he was feeling, watching to see if bogum would rat him out or tell someone else. the other idol never had. in fact, he'd always tried to pry in on conversations to overhear but bogum never let a thing kai had confided in him out of his own lips. at least, not from what kai had witnessed. "despite the management being up our asses, i think it's probably necessary since there's some disconnect it seems with the other members." that was his observation before he took a spoonful of the delicious broth and smiled after intaking the rich taste. his eyes even closed in delight, relishing in how the ramen felt like home in a weird way, something he'd never thought about until that moment.

"Oh don't lie now, Bogum, this hyung over here is not stupid. How could you not dance in joy that I am nothing but a talentless idol who just happens to break while in the making?" It feels all too familiar. Similar to how it is back at home. Minjun loses his cool, people will come up with sweet words to placate him, but none of them had faith in him. They just think he is just a pretty face, meant to be an idol just like his mother when all he wanted was a life of acting and maybe none at all. It is confusing, but at least he knew he never really wanted to lead a life like his mother's. Always had to please others and put up a happy act. Bogum could have all of that if he wanted to.
The way Bogum raised his hand felt all too familiar as well; a repetitive actions from his helper aim to calm him down usually but he refused to be calm now, so without thinking twice, he gently swatted the hand away from touching him. "You don't have to feel sad about a broken person. It's normal. It's given in our line of work. Lose a bit of yourself to become a better artist, right?" He could not help but spew harsh words for the undeserving dongsaeng, but he is worked up. He needed to leave the room. Staying longer with Bogum like this would make him lose his marbles even more. But Bogum is an enigma, a blackhole, that made him rooted to where he stand to listen to him talk even more so he could not bring himself to leave.
Bogum did not wish to punch him? Then, what? Was it a figment of his own work-up brain that his mind registered the way the younger man had looked at his lips, that it act itself ensured something was unlocked with him, but he could not press his finger on where or what. if i wanted you gone, i would have stayed quiet. i would have let you put that hollow track.. watched the critics tear you apart What? Was that all an act of Bogum showing concern towards Minjun? In the most awful way possible? Did not even go through him to remove the track and went straight towards their producer? Is this a joke? Holy fuck. That made Minjun internally screamed at their circumstances.
"Youβ¦" Minjun could not help himself but imitate the way Bogum had looked at him earlier. From his eyes down to his nose down to his perfectly carved lips and let themselves become chest to chest as he drawled himself to listen to whatever Bogum has to explain for himself, "You really need to work on the way to show people that you care. I would say be yourself, like I would say to the others, but god damn it, Bogum, you are a piece of work" Why does it feel like Minjun was given a key to open up the window to how Bogum really is? It was unexpected, unprecedented and yet it felt comforting. "It would be easier if you hate me too" Because now, Minjun felt he is walking into an uncharted territory that only belongs to Bogum.
"If it is only jealousy but not hate but thenβ¦. why do I think there is more, Bogum-ah? You said you wanted to push me away, and the next thing you tell me is that my eyes should only stay on you. What do you want from your hyung?" The endearing term finally made itself present. If he remember it well, he rarely used it with Bogum as they always butthead. Now that they are this close, he could not help himself but to lean his face closer, making sure he could note any shift in Bogum's facial expression in hope to get a 'getcha!' moment, "Because I am not a magician nor a mind-reader, tell me what do you exactly want from me or how you feel about me because I can't be in the same group as you without knowing how you truly feel about me. I don't want us to be in a bad blood because you're a great person to work with justβ¦ there is some work in progress but we can meet halfway, for you, I will, Bogum," because to be frank, all Minjun had was respect for the other despite being throat-to-throat with the man on certain and even when disagreement seems to be their favourite topic. For Bogum, he is willing.

Hollow? Did this younger man has the audacity to call him hollow? And said his struggles were lies? What.... what does Bogum knew about him? The audacity of this piece of shit. Minjun was stunned that the other manage to draw those conclusions pertaining him without even diving deeper into him as a person, and that... that angers him further that for few seconds no words were formed within him his throat but only the urge to deck this man down puts a rythmn on his once idle hand.
"Fuck you, Bogum. For someone who barely knew me, you put those thoughts against me. Are you fucking projecting on me? You're the one who walked into the room as if the world owes you something but maybe it does. It's not my fucking fault that you got bad end of the luck but I would never sabotage you this way if you ever wanted to put your tracks on the album. Hoβ" stop playingΒ atΒ beingΒ anΒ idolΒ andΒ startΒ beingΒ one.Β
Oh. That was his last straw.
"I am fucking trying, dammit!" Hands grappled onto his dongsaeng's shirt and purposely shoved him onto the mirror wall that is the solely witness of their bickering for now. One hand letting go off the latter's shirt and a fist immediately formed but the voices in his head telling him not to because what would he say once the management finds out that he had hurt their precious main visual? He would get in trouble. His mother would gave him disapproval look and his father would not look at him in the eyes and the bungalow would be rendered in a silence that would suffocate Minjun. It would made him cry into his pillow again. Not that anyone knows. No one needs to know. He is here to serve happy time for their fans. Appear fine all the damn time. And it is obvious that Bogum thinks he does not have struggles of his own. He would not understand. He is just the same as the rest. Thinking he had easy. Thinking he is blessed with anything and everything. He is tired of looking for someone who would. Who would love him as he is. So he let go and spat, "Fuck you. Do what you want." His eyes were immediately hollowed out and looking away then to face Bogum head on. "Whether I contribute or not doesn't make any fucking changes that people think I am here for a free ride to fame. Yeah. I admit that I am playing idol. I did not want to be an idol in the first place. Does that make you happy? I don't deserve the spot here. Would that make you happy that I admit it out loud? Fuck, just say you hate me, Bogum. Punch me on the face. Shit on me. Do what makes you happy"

Look at him. Blessed him to be a son of a very popular singer in the generation before. Blessed him to have such a handsome face in due to his parents' favourable gene. Blessed him to have an entire money in the world because his father was a well-known who fell in love with an heir. Oh how blessed it is to be Seo Minjun.
Yet nothing ever prepared him to be fickle with anger and irritation for his own teammates whose eyes often looked at him with disdain, though, Minjun would say he had done the same a couple of times in the past. How should he remain neutral and friendly with the man when all he has received are just words and statements laced in torn? It often angered the main vocalist because of how long he would put up with this uncivilised act? It is expected from someone who was shaped well since childhood but that is a topic for another day. Heavy feet stomped against the wooden dancing floor and with one swift movement, he shoved the face of his group in utter annoyance. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" There was no hello or hi.
