broken melodies, ft. @lgcxmax
it was for a fact hyuk had been dodging from @lgcxmax since rehearsals for the famcon started. unlike the past year, where they bonded and developed some sort of friendship and shortly something else, things were still awkward between them. so hyuk decided it was best if they just swept everything under the imaginary rug and moved on.
things had been fine through the days - hyuk replied when max greeted him but chose specific training spots where he couldn’t be followed; it was petty, he was aware of that - jinyoung scolded him, jasper rolled his eyes and parker was being parker, but hyuk couldn’t just let go (he knew he was fighting a solo war, it was beyond ridiculous).
when concert day arrived hyuk was so focused on everything he was about to do in the next few minutes, how one mistake could lead to another flop in his career, he didn’t notice someone approaching him, a casual hand on his shoulder, and a supportive shake, as if to call his attention.
with startled eyes, hyuk focused on the figure he managed to escape. “fuck”, he muttered under his breath, trying to look around, to find an escape; there was none and he sighed, in defeat, “what do you want, myungsoo?”.
the stage name tasted awful on hyuk’s tongue and he made a disgusted face; deep down he hated how distant they became.
