Do you know what today is~?

“It’s okay,” he chuckles, rubbing his eyes while sitting up on the dressing room couch, having a look around at the others who were still snoozing in there. “I was half awake anyway.” They’d arrived early on that morning to the music show, and seeing as the staff was still setting up the stage they couldn’t really rehearse so most of them decided on napping until the hair and make up departments arrived. “They still are though, so we might wanna grab whatever you needed from in here and head out… Do you happen to know where the bathrooms are backstage?”

It was days like this where Jeonghan wonders how someone with such little willpower like him could handle undergoing such active routines that the choreography required. Is it really a wonder why he’s napping on Jihoon’s studio’s couch after having undergone all of such downstairs? Just when he thought their break may last a good few hours, Jeonghan feels someone poke at him, and he knows it’s not Jihoon as he didn’t hear the wheels of his computer chair squeak. “I’m trying to sleep.” He groans, squinting one eye open to see Soonyoung, and closing them a moment later. Covering his face with one of the pillows and trying to block out all noise, he’s sure the younger is still standing where he was before. “Unless I’m needed for practice, or like, someone’s dying, Hosh, let me sleep.”

Jeonghan has never stopped so abruptly in his life.

Immediate drop of the spoon in hand he’d been using to mix dinner for that night occurs, loud clacking against the ground before it settles and dead silence is met with the atmosphere that surrounds the two. Before he can absolutely freeze up, Jeonghan decides to be somewhat responsible and turn down the stove flame, letting the stew’s boil come to a halt (listen, those little brats could starve a little longer, he had more important business to take care of right now) before taking a few more moments to think over what was actually just asked of him.

Lee Jihoon, Woozi, the dongsaeng Jeonghan so often called his little koala much to the latter’s feign displeasure, the one who often laughed at his hyung Yoon Jeonghan’s subtle flirtatious nature to the opposite (and occasionally same) sex, was actually here asking for such a thing. This wasn’t one of the many times they’d talked over experiences at odd hours in the night, or even one of the times where Jeonghan tried to advice the other in his (or rather lack of) love life, this was actually requesting assistance in the elder’s abilities of which he probably would’ve picked Jihoon out as last to ever do so.

“D-Do my ears deceive me..?” He whispers in shock, turning his head around to look over his shoulder, followed by the rest of his body, jaw loosened and corners of his mouth pulling upward. “Is Lee Jihoon actually asking me, me, to teach him my ways?” Suddenly a loud cheer rings throughout the kitchen, and Jeonghan practically leaps his way over to the younger, picking him up without warning by arms wrapped around the younger’s middle, squeezing him gently before setting him down rather quickly, laughing at how carried away he’d gotten. “Sorry, oh god sorry, but just, you have no idea how long I’ve waited for this day. I’m still in shock. why do you want to learn how to be charming? I mean you’ve come to the right place, but..” Small snicker plays on his lips, leaning against the wall near the doorway where the other stood. “Is there someone new I should know about..?”

Jihoon's eyebrows furrowed at the other's sudden reaction. Simply helping the elder with dinner and enjoying the safe silence that the two could easily inhibit and he really liked being able to be comfortable like this with the elder and he often time was grateful that he was roommates with this hyung instead of any others who might be a bit too talkative for him when he most of the time just wanted to curl up and read a book in silence and simply enjoy the fact that someone else was present beside him-- But whenever he needed advice late at night or had some thoughts he needed to get off his chest, it was normally Jeonghan who he went to in an attempt to gain some clarity.

Despite Jihoon's strong image, he was actually quite timid in his own ways, quietly calculating every situation before ever taking a look in any direction of things. Yet, this time, he was just thinking about his own view on himself. Jihoon knew that he wasn't really the best person when it came to talking and often grew embarrassed easily over simple situations that most people would have no trouble in-- He really wanted to grow as a person and become a bit stronger; just as strong or even more than the aura he put out, down to his core he was actually a sensitive guy-- Surprise to many who weren't aware of his tsundere actions.

As soon as the words had carelessly let his lips, Though, he was already regretting it and there was an evident grimace over his expression as he sighed softly and brought his hands to his forehead and gently rubbing at his temples before leaning down to pick up the dramatically discarded spoon and bring it to the sink, washing it amongst other dishes that were building up in their attempt to make dinner. "Forget I asked." he sharply input, not that he was mad, but the other's overdramatic reaction has flustered him and he backed out of the thought all together quickly in his embarrassment. 'That was a stupid Idea.' These words echoing in his mind as he huffed quietly to himself, wrinkling his nose in annoyance at his own self.

Before he knew it, Subsequentially he was met with loud cheering that surprised him and soon after found himself being lifted which caused him to shout and swat at the elder's hands-- His cheeks and the tips of his ears now growing in a flushed colour because of the other's enthusiasm. "Stop." He was whining now as he lowered his head to hide the embarrassment that was easily seen over his face. "It's embarrassing enough to have to ask you that!" he grumbled quietly to himself as he sighed loudly and in response to making himself feel better--Smugly, in a cheeky fashion, he dried his hands on the other's apron he had on and that action alone was enough to settle him.

The other didn't do much to make him NOT want to yell 'forget it' it in face again as he teased him completely once again. "No, I don't like anyone or anything like that, Hyung." he sighed again, figuring that since he had dealt with this much embarrassment as it was that he might as well go through with the whole situation and get it over with--Who knew? Maybe he would learn something. "I just--" A deep breath left him before he pursed his lips into a distressed expression, Even when he was talking to jeonghan, normally it was him giving advice or something of that sort and he still wasn't the best on explaining his emotions or how he felt, so this was a struggle. "I Don't wanna be overly flamboyant or grandiose, I Just want to be able to carry myself better-- I guess you could say?"

Make Me Admit

9. Is confidence cute?Ans. It’s hella cute, I cannot deny that. There’s something insanely attractive about someone who is bold and forthcoming about how they carry themselves. People might call me shameless (it happened one too many times on One Fine Day to me too), but lets be honest -- if you don’t love yourself the best, who would? 

18. The last time you felt broken?Ans. Honestly, not that long ago. But I’d like to think that I picked myself up pretty quick and moved on. It was a reminder for myself to focus on those people who stay in my life instead of those who find it easier to make me regret the time spent with them. 

27. Would you be able to date someone who doesn’t make you laugh?Ans. Probably not. I mean, it doesn’t mean I would date someone who is constantly cackling like a maniac but having a sense of humor and an easygoing personality is one of the first things I’d look for in someone I am interested in. 

36. Do you know where the last person you kissed is?Ans. I most indeed do.

45. If you could, would you take back your last kiss?Ans. Nope, not at all. I have absolutely no regrets with that one.

54. Ever eat a pierogi?Ans. A what...? Honestly, no idea what that even is.

63. First concert?Ans. Mmm, the Boys’ Wish concert? Honestly, I remember my father taking me to a concert when younger but cannot remember for the life of me what that was so I’ll go with the safest option of naming my own concert. 

72. Ever won a spelling bee?Ans. I’m an intellectual but never got to display my wisdom on that stage, unfortunately.
