BACKSTAGE - OT8

Secrets

We're gonna pretend South Korea allows same sex marriage.

"Also. I wanted to talk to you about—the subject you said we should wait until we're all together to talk about." Hyunjin said over the phone.

"What's that?" Lee Know hummed.

"You know... Marriage?" Hyunjin whispered even though he was the only one in his lonely area at the airport.

"Isn't it a little early for that. We've only been all together for a year. At least a year since Seungmin agreed officially. We don't know if they're ready or even want that." Lee Know started.

"Because we haven't talked about it with them. And we've been in an 'official' relationship for a year. But we've all been together and known each other for almost 8. Isn't it the perfect time?" Hyunjin asked.

"I guess you're right. We should at least ask them how they feel about it." Lee Know agreed.

"Yes!" He said a little too loudly, pumping his fist.

Little did Hyunjin know they'd already talked about it while he was on his trip. Lee Know wanted to surprise him.

Hyunjin had thrown all of a hissy fit over a movie they watched together about the couple waiting too long to marry, and then the groom died before the wedding. It had them all sobbing, but his were angry tears.

So Lee Know knew it was time.

He'd simply asked the others how they felt about it. If they wanted to do it in the future or not. He was surprised to see everyone either accepting or ready for the idea of proposals and belonging together. So he told them he was ready to pop the question to Hyunjin. They all agreed it was a good idea given Hyunjin's previous outburst at the movie, which seemed like a redirected hit at Lee Know.

He also talked to everyone separately, just to be sure, and he knows he's the only one aware of who was proposing to whom. Which also meant he was to keep everyone's secret.

"Who do you think will marry whom?" He asked Hyunjin for shîts and giggles.

"Obviously, Seungmin and Jisung will want to marry each other." Hyunjin said thoughtfully.

"Really, you think so? Changbin and Seungmin have seemed really close lately." He teased.

"Yes, but do you think Felix will let Changbin marry anyone else? Even if we all are his boyfriends." Hyunjin spoke truthfully.

"You're right. Though you doubt Changbin too much. I'm surprised he hasn't asked you before me. But that would leave Chan and I.N for sure. They're perfect for each other." Lee Know commented.

"If he did ask, I would've said yes." Hyunjin said sassily.

"Oh! So you don't want to be my husband?" Lee Know nodded, even though he couldn't see him.

"Not if I'll be old and wrinkly by the time you ask me." Hyunjin huffed. Lee Know stifled a laugh. He deserved that. "I think it's time to go now. I'll see you in a bit, and we can have that talk."

"Okay, Prince. See you in a bit. Love you." He said.

"Bye." Hyunjin hung up with a snicker. Ignoring the older, calling him back since he didn't say it back. That's what he gets for making him wait.

He grabbed his bag, security walking him out the doors through obnoxious fans. He'll never understand why they come there every time just to get a glimpse of them. It would be safer, and they might see more clearly if they just backed up and made space to walk properly. It was always overwhelming.
