there wasn't much information for siwoo to feed off of when dohyun had contacted him. all he knew was that basically his friend was in a situation of sorts, and needed a place to stay. siwoo wasn't the type to pry in the first place, and from the tone of the texts, he figured that dohyun needed something urgently. they could hash out the specifics later.

it's not like siwoo's apartment is lavishly large – at least, not in comparison to the home where his parents resided in ( the one that they called his 'actual home' ) but it did have an extra guest room, and more than enough space for two people.

so, he told dohyun that if he needed a place to crash he could come over. or in siwoo's words, "just pack ur shit and come over" verbatim. and sure, siwoo should be a little more mindful of who lets stay over at his place ( the few !! girls that he slept with every so often don't exactly count, at least not to siwoo ), but dohyun is someone that siwoo thinks he can trust. and siwoo wants to be of some sort of help to his friend where he can.

im at the entrance of my apartment building waiting for u i'll help u carry ur shit up dw ok 🤕

yuji’s running late. 

not terribly late, but late enough that if her mother were to have known, she would have wrung her neck. it’s been instilled into her to always be on time, even be early-- never keep anyone waiting, and her body thrums with discomfort as she dodges past moving civillians, bowing her head in apology and muttering excuse me as she goes. she hates being late. she’s having a bit of a terrible day, and she’s late to a date that she doesn’t want to go to. 

a date that’s been waiting to meet. for ten minutes. ten minutes past their usual time. yuji wants to scream. 

increasing her pace, she hurries to open the door, ducking inside. shooting a quick smile to the greeting staff, lifting her hand in waving before she lets her eyes scroll over the little eatery. it’s busier than usual, which doesn’t help her already unlucky day. sighing to herself, she focuses on finding dohyun, immediately making a beeline for him. 

right now though, he's focused on his own part. each member will have a turn with the camera, while the rest act as supporting characters ( keeping the modified choreography and the song in mind, of course ). however, it's a little awkward to practice his solo part with just a camera when he needs genuine feedback to make sure he's doing everything right, even more so because this will be heavy on the acting aspect.

@bedohyun, ever the eager and helpful mentor, is happy to help. leaning over a makeshift desk, pretending it's the kissing booth they've planned. dohyun sits on the other side. "i'm pretty sure kissing booths aren't exactly a definite part of carnivals, but it's been kind of trending... and it's a cute idea, isn't it?" honestly, yuwol's not sure, he has never been to carnivals.

"for my part, obviously no actual kiss on the lips." it's all pretend sake, and it's not like he's going to press his lips to a camera. he doubts the judges want that, but they want the feel of that type of mood. "but, maybe... i'll make use of a lip balm." as he says that, he lifts one up, uncapping it and swiping a bit of the product onto his pointed finger. "then i'll... pretend i'm putting it on myself." he does just that, but continues on. "afterwards, i'll look over at the camera, and..." with dohyun acting as the camera, he pretends to glide his fingers over dohyun's lips, as if he's putting the lip balm on it. in actuality though, his finger is hovering a significant distant away from dohyun.

"you left early today," siwoo walks into the practice room, sling bag on one shoulder, and a lunch bag in his hand. "i thought i told you to eat breakfast before leaving for training, or you'll get tired easy, he passes the lunch bag to dohyun, completely forgetting the cameras surrounding them.

it's easy though, to forget that he's being filmed almost 24/7 while he's in here. even more so when he's around dohyun — a longtime friend and now a... coach? of next gen. but siwoo can't exactly switch from "friends" to "coach" with dohyun just like that. especially when he'd been friends with dohyun before the whole next gen shenanigans.

he's also sort of grown accustomed to preparing breakfast for dohyun before his friend would go for training. something that he would do because siwoo was by nature, someone who was early to wake up. it was easier that way anyway, making breakfast for two. "ah, we can order something in for dinner tonig..." his voice trails off when he spots the camera, and he blinks. oh, right. oh shit.

it's not the first time siwoo's celebrated christmas, but it is the first time he's had a roommate in his rather large apartment. his parents still have no idea he has dohyun staying with him, but siwoo doesn't really care enough to tell them.

previously, he'd just throw on a christmas movie and deem it as 'enough' decorating. but he's decided to put in some effort this time – also, he thinks it might be a nice gesture to have dohyun come back home from training to a house decorated with christmas ornaments. it'll be fun, he thinks, setting up some decor for his apartment.

"don't tell me that now that you're a trainee, you're too busy to hang out with me," jinyoung flicks a paper straw wrapper at dohyun from his seat next to him at the bar, a far too familiar scene for the two of them. it's late, as it always is for the trainees when they have some free time, but rather than ruin dohyun's reputation with some sketchy club or skeevy dive bar, jinyoung finds himself side by side with his friend at some generic sports bar. he's pretty sure neither of them care about sports; they're just hear for food and to catch up. or, well, jinyoung hopes they're there for food. surely dohyun can spare a few fries or something.

it's been too long since jinyoung has spoken with such a light heart to his friends who found themselves signed to one of the biggest entertainment companies in the country, closer to his dream than he himself is. he's still jealous, don't get him wrong, but the deep, seemingly boundless sorrow he wallowed in finally seems to be reaching the end; the weight he carried with him seems to be growing lighter by the day. time heals all, as they say.

siwoo isn't one to sleep in. contrary to popular belief, he's someone who'd much rather wake up early in the morning and be productive than stay in bed. which is probably why he finds himself waking up around the same time as dohyun from time to time. he doesn't hate it though, and if anything, he's found dohyun's presence in his house as something comforting.

it had been a little quiet anyway, lonely even, staying in such a large apartment all alone.

he wakes up a little earlier than his roommate today ( probably from being unable to sleep. insomnia was great! ), and decides to whip out some sort of healthy breakfast. fresh juice, bananas and some pancakes.
