Mingyu is exhausted from practicing their new choreography for their next comeback. After talking to Soonyoung, he manages to escape the remaining practice time and makes his way to the dorms, not noticing that another member was following him. After grabbing a water bottle from the fridge, he plants himself on the couch and stretches, leaning his head against the back of the couch with a heavy sigh. 

He fails to notice the sound of the dorm door open, as he’s already half asleep. Another tired member looks around the dorm quietly before sneaking into the bathroom to wash up quickly. Seungkwan had followed Mingyu after being yelled at by Soonhyung about not getting the dance right. He's used to being yelled at by the performance team leader by now; he's not the best dancer in the first place. After several minutes, he steps out of the shower with a towel around his neck and waist. He looks at himself in the mirror.

“Looking good, Boo.” He says to himself, winking in the mirror. Taking note that Mingyu was the only one here, and the members wouldn't be back for a little while, he bites his lip. "Now's the time, Boo. You gotta do it. It's now or never."

Seungkwan dries his now slightly fading dark red hair and gets changed into something a more comfortable and a lot less. After checking himself out in the mirror one final time, he steps out of the bathroom and walks into the living room, where Mingyu was sitting, seemingly trying not to fall asleep. Seungkwan smiles and runs up to the taller male and jumps on his lap, giving the rapper a startle.

“Aish, seriously,” Mingyu grumbles looking at the vocalist with an annoyed expression. “What are you doing? Get off me!”

Seungkwan pouts slightly. “Hyungg~ what’s wrong? Are you tired?”

“Seriously, Boo, get off,” Mingyu repeats, a little harsher.

“Fine.” Seungkwan huffs and slides next to him. “I was just trying to be cute.”

Mingyu pinches Seungkwan’s cheek. “Whatever. What do you want?”

Seungkwan swerves his head away from Mingyu’s grip, shrugging as he continues to pout, rubbing his cheek. “Hoshi-hyung said I could go too. I was struggling too much I guess. I noticed you were here and wanted to talk to you.”

Mingyu looks down at the smaller vocalist, humming. “Why did it need to be when I was trying so hard to relax- I mean, when no one else was around. And why was it necessary to jump on my lap?" He crosses his arms.

Seungkwan bites his bottom lip and looks down. “Well, you see..."

Mingyu eyes the vocalist curiously. His attitude is different than usual. He shrugs. If not for this...cute, chubby cheeked vocalist, Mingyu could be taking a nice, well-deserved nap. Not that he minds Seungkwan’s company. Seungkwan can be finicky at times and enjoys pushing Mingyu away. When he's actually comfortable around the taller, Mingyu feels...happy? Or maybe it's just relief he feels, knowing Seungkwan doesn't hate him or anything.

“Hyung-” Seungkwan's voice suddenly causes Mingyu to realize how close their faces are now. “I love you-”
