SoonKwan

21. What happens when they get lost on a trip?

Soonyoung convinces Seungkwan to break away from the others while they’re at Echo Park Lake. After all, what’s the worst that could happen?

They get lost, is what happens. Seungkwan’s English, while more impressive than Soonyoung’s, isn’t quite up to par with getting them back to the meeting point. Their phones are both dead, but even if they weren’t, neither of them have the wifi modem that lets them call out. They’re stranded in a foreign park, with no way to contact the others and no clue of how to get back to the others.

“Hyung, we’re lost,” Seungkwan huffs. It’s hot, he’s tired and he’s ready for some air-conditioning. He doesn’t want to keep walking in this damn park where he can’t speak the language and where people look at them strangely for holding hands.

Soonyoung squints down at the map of the park, held upside down because he’s shit at geography. “Um… yeah,” he concedes with a sheepish smile. “Sorry, baby. This is my fault.”

Seungkwan can’t really stay mad when his boyfriend is so willing to take the blame. His shoulders relax and he leans into Soonyoung’s side, even though it’s too hot to be touching.

“It’s okay, we’ll find them eventually,” Seungkwan sighs, sneaking a kiss to Soonyoung’s cheek when no one is watching. He grins a little at the colour on the elder’s cheeks; it’s definitely not from the heat.

At the end of the day, they get to ride the paddle boat and take way too many couple selcas. It even feels like a date, although they’re not as affectionate as they are back home. Still, Soonyoung falls a little in love with the way the California sunlight catches in Seungkwan’s blonde hair and that’s worth getting yelled at by Seungcheol for disappearing on them.

29. What does each of them do to cheer the other up?

Seungkwan gets down really easily. He’s a self conscious boy and he’s a little self-destructive, so he’ll look through message boards and comments even though he knows he shouldn’t. Soonyoung usually finds the younger curled up in bed, scrolling through mean comments about his cheeks, or his stomach, or his obnoxious voice or the way he tries too hard.

All he needs to do is pull the phone away and put it on the bedside table, ebfore curling around Seungkwan. Seungkwan – noisy, boisterous, energetic Seungkwan – looks so small like this, when he’s reduced to nothing but himself and his insecurities.

“Hey,” Soonyoung whispers, kissing Seungkwan’s ear gently. “What’ve you been doing?”

“Nothing,” Seungkwan croaks. Even if Soonyoung hadn’t seen his face, he knows the vocalist has been crying to himself. “It’s nothing.”

Soonyoung takes a deep breath, pulling Seungkwan closer. “Okay.” He lets Seungkwan pretend for a little bit. To Soonyoung, it is nothing, but Seungkwan has a fragile heart beneath his thick skin.

So he’ll build Seungkwan’s flailing confidence back up – slowly, but steadily. He whispers in Seungkwan’s ear about how beautiful his laugh is, how the sight of his smile makes Soonyoung’s heart flutter in his chest like he’s seventeen again, how Seungkwan is the only reason the other members don’t fall into despair. He tells Seungkwan of the way he’s the reason Soonyoung wakes up, and how glad it is that at the end of the day, it’s Seungkwan he’s in love with.

The tears that Seungkwan sheds after that is a balm on Soonyoung’s heart. At least this time, he knows they’re happy tears.

Soonyoung is usually a bubbly guy. He doesn’t let himself get upset and tries to power through no matter the difficulty. That just makes the moments he falls even worse.

Seungkwan always finds the performance team leader in the dance studio. The music will be blaring in the background, but Soonyoung will be laying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling with blank eyes. Sweat makes his hair stick up funny and he stinks to all hell, but Seungkwan will lay down next to Soonyoung and curl into his side.

“Bad day?” Seungkwan asks quietly, running his fingers through Soonyoung’s hair. Soonyoung grunts, pressing a lacklustre kiss to Seungkwan’s temple.

“I don’t wanna…” Soonyoung trails off, turning his head from Seungkwan. He musters a small smile that cuts to Seungkwan’s very core. “Hey, baby.”

“Don’t,” Seungkwan whispers. “Don’t pretend with me. It’s okay, hyung. You can depend on me this time.”

Soonyoung doesn’t cry, but he does curl into Seungkwan, pressing his face into Seungkwan’s neck. They lay there for eons, until Soonyoung can find his balance again. Afterwards, they’ll go for dinner and Seungkwan will listen patiently while Soonyoung vents. Maybe Seungkwan can’t fix all of Soonyoung’s problems, but he can be there, and that’s a start.

43. When do they first realize they’ve fallen in love?

Gosh, this is a tough question. Soonyoung realises he’s in love with Seungkwan when they’re like a year into dating. Seungkwan’s humming under his breath while he gets ready for bed; at this point, they’ve been sharing a bed for years now. Seungkwan’s things have encroached into Soonyoung’s space – to the point where they can’t really figure out what items belong to who anymore. Soonyoung’s twenty-two, Seungkwan is twenty, and Soonyoung realises that he can’t imagine going through the rest of his life without Seungkwan.

Seungkwan figures out he’s in love with Soonyoung when they get lost in Echo Park Lake. All it had taken was a sheepish smile and a simple apology and Seungkwan realised the only reason he wasn’t breaking up with Soonyoung on the spot was because he loved him too much to get mad about it.

49. How do they make long distance work?

Seungkwan has to go back home for three months. It’s utter agony – not just for SoonKwan, but for the other members, Seungkwan’s family, Soonyoung’s family and the managers.

Soonyoung calls every day (sometimes more than once), Seungkwan cries every other day and Soonyoung can’t stop talking about Seungkwan like he’s dead.

“You know Seungkwan’s not dead right?” Jihoon comments snidely, kicking Soonyoung’s prone form where he’s lying face-down on the practice room floor. That can’t be sanitary.

“He’s not dead, but I am,” Soonyoung moans. “Seungkwannie. Baby. The love of my life. An entire ocean away.”

“He’s literally six hours away,” Jihoon hisses. “What the fuck, Soonyoung.”

Suffice to say, everyone agrees that it’s best they don’t get separated. They’re utterly useless without each other.

SeokHoon

21. What happens when they get lost on a trip?

All Jihoon wanted was some cup ramen from the convenience store. If it was up to him, he wouldn’t step foot out of the hotel room, but Seokmin had insisted the squeeze in a date in Saitama before they leave. It’s a testament to how whipped Jihoon is that he hadn’t protested too much.

Now they’re lost in a foreign country where both of them speak fuck-all of the language. They are going to die here. Damn Seokmin and his endearing sense of adventure.

“We’re not lost!” Seokmin insists, although he keeps whipping his head around. His eyes are wide in his typical ‘I don’t know where the fuck I am’ expression. “Was that 7-eleven there before?”

“Yes,” Jihoon deadpans. “Seokmin. We’re lost.”

“No,” Seokmin whimpers, shoulders slumping in defeat. “I’m sorry, hyung.”

Jihoon toys with the idea of pretending to be madder than he is, but Seokmin already looks like a kicked puppy. He hates seeing his sunshine so sad. He shuffles closer, resting his head on Seokmin’s shoulder.

“It’s okay,” he sighs, lacing their fingers. In the safety of nighttime, Jihoon isn’t scared of showing affection like he usually is. “Come on, we’ll find the hotel one way or another, okay?”

(It turns out all they were doing was circling the neighbourhood their hotel was in. Figures it would take Seokmin to royally fuck up what must be the easiest hotel to find in the whole world.)

29. What does each of them do to cheer the other up?

When Jihoon’s upset, he’ll lock himself in his studio. It’s the only place he feels truly safe to cry or scream. He only lets two people in once he gets like this – Seungcheol (his best friend and someone he considers a brother) and Seokmin (the love of his life and the person he trusts with his heart wholeheartedly).

Seokmin will tap his special knock on the door and Jihoon will let him in without protest or comment. Seokmin comes laden with all of Jihoon’s favourite food and wearing his cuddliest sweatshirt – because Jihoon is getting cuddled and coddled within an inch of his life, whether he likes it or not!

Jihoon allows himself to be babied and little spooned until whatever was weighing him down dissipates. If that doesn’t work, he’ll eventually open his mouth and talk about it. It feels a lot like pulling out a bad tooth – hurts like hell on the extraction, but feels a fuck ton better after. Jihoon always celebrates his improved mood with a kiss and that’s how Seokmin knows Jihoon is okay again.

Seokmin’s pain always runs deeper than Jihoon’s, if only because he hides it better and buries it deeper. Seokmin will smile and fake it until he can’t anymore, and then he’ll withdraw from the rest of the world.

Jihoon has to force his way into Seokmin’s little bubble; it’s impossible to get Seokmin to agree to anything when he’s in a funk, so Jihoon uses his special brand of stubbornness to insert himself into Seokmin’s bad day and try his best to make it better.

Jihoon’s method always varies, because it depends on how bad Seokmin let it get. Sometimes Jihoon will bring Seokmin out for an impromptu ice cream date. Other times, Jihoon brings the date to Seokmin, with his favourite pilfered sweets and a movie on Netflix. On the rare occasion Seokmin is too deep in his head to be cheered by much, Jihoon will spoon Seokmin and lie there with their limbs entangled until Seokmin deigns Jihoon worthy to rant to. Sometimes Seokmin will ask Jihoon to sing for him, voice cracking from emotion, and Jihoon always complies.

If it were anyone else, Jihoon wouldn’t bother. But this is Seokmin, the holder of his heart and the only bright light in his life. He won’t let the sun dim. Not on his watch.

43. When do they first realize they’ve fallen in love?

Jihoon realises it during Don’t Wanna Cry era, when he looks at Seokmin and realises lyrics make sense when it’s the younger vocalist who’s in his head. At some point, Seokmin had become his muse without even noticing it. That’s also about the time Jihoon finally stopped dancing around their not-quite-dates-but-still-totally-dates and decided that he wants to officially put a label to what they are.

(Jihoon had screamed “I really wanna be your boyfriend” in Seokmin’s face. It was neither romantic nor suave, but it’s a good thing Seokmin isn’t looking for either of those qualities in a boyfriend anyway. If anything, it’s a hilarious story to tell their grandkids some day.)

Seokmin realises he loves Jihoon when they’re on a date, after filming Pinwheel. Jihoon’s still in that soft, white sweater. They’re in a pojangmacha, sharing rambokki and a bottle of soju. Jihoon keeps resting his hands over Seokmin’s like he doesn’t realise he’s doing it, and Seokmin’s eyes keep catching on the dimples on Jihoon’s cheeks. Jihoon’s spilt some sauce on the shirt, cursing under his breath as he tries to scrub it away in vain.

49. How do they make long distance work?

They make it work surprisingly well. They’re close and they’re whipped for each other, but they don’t actually live in each other’s back pockets. Jihoon has to make it back home for three weeks because of his hyung’s wedding and Seokmin has to stay behind for BooSeokSoon promotions.

The only real change is that instead of Jihoon replying to Seokmin’s texts after an hour, he replies them instantaneously. Seungcheol is stupid enough to jokingly suggest that Jihoon stay away from Seokmin longer, if it means his messages get sent on time. Seokmin just so happened to be on a video call with Jihoon at the time.

Jihoon swears he doesn’t know how Seungcheol’s lines get cut in half for their title track on the next comeback.
