what you don’t know can’t haunt you, @wildeycs: seojung.
morning is a burn of light from the interstices of his blinds, pouring into his bedroom in pints. he stirs awake with seojung already gone from his side. reaching for the phone from his bedside, the notifications indicate that he has 62 missed calls, 119 kkt messages, and about… he doesn’t want to know the rest. right. this is that morning: dispatch must’ve released the staged pictures of himself, kissing kim minyoung, from the rookie girl group rosegold— yeah, yada yada, he’s known the drill. and everyone is so keen on confirming whether it’s real or for publicity purposes only… nosy fucks.
he groans, rolling around to bury his face against the pillow. doesn’t want to get up, doesn’t want to face this shit of reality again. this is beyond his paycheck, that’s for sure, and he’s not interested in opening the naver articles because he’s fairly certain that the company has confirmed that yes, their idols have been dating for the past few months. he remembers he spaced out a bit during the briefing from the public relations team, knowing the drill again, more or less. he’s less concerned about that, and more about this.
another sigh as he rolls to his back, eyes fixated on the ceiling above him before he realizes that seojung is standing on the threshold, a plate of pancake on his hand. his face? sour as hell. of course, who wouldn’t be nicked by such release, even when he’s warned seojung in advance, again and again. he rolls over to get out of the bed, snatching his crumpled t-shirt to wear them as he approaches seojung, his countenance wearing guilt like a second layer of skin. “don’t look so sullen,” he half-pleads as he closes the gap between them, pressing a kiss on seojung’s cheek when the distance is minimized. “you know i didn’t kiss her, right?” he pouts as he takes the plate of pancakes to set it on the nearest table. “it was… all acting. hyung, don’t look at me like that.”
