In Your Eyes - Dowoo

In Your Eyes

The Neo City tour had begun and the members were already in Atlanta. Through drinks and takeout, the boys enjoyed their after-work moments. All the members had decided to share a bedroom with a partner of their choice. As expected, Mark chose Yuta, since the American air brought them even closer. Johnny wasn't surprised when Taeyong called his name. Taeil and Haechan were inseparable so that selection was a little too predictable. Jaehyun, as the laid back man he was, could crash with any of his friends so that was easy as well. 

Jungwoo was out talking to his mom on the phone and Doyoung was taking a shower during the process so he just found out when he finished.

"Why is everyone packing?" He asked with a confused voice. They just got to the staff's suite and he was expecting a little more bonding time before going to bed.

"We already divided our rooms. I'm afraid you'll have to sleep with Jungwoo. Neither of you were present during the division so it was a unanimous decision." Taeyong said with a sarcastic smile.

Everyone in that room knew things between Doyoung and Jungwoo were tense. Since the beginning of the tour back in Korea, Jungwoo had been testing Doyoung's patience. Everything started when the youngest barged into his hyung's dressing room. Doyoung would've let it slide if it had been an accident, but he saw the lust in his eyes as he blatantly scanned his body through the mirror. He had always been respectful towards Jungwoo's preferences but he was crossing a fine line.

"You're kidding right? That's not fair at all. Can't I just trade with Johnny?" The displeasure in his voice was evident.

"Sorry, Johnny's already with me. Don't stress it out Do, we'll be gone right after tomorrow's concert. It's just one night."

"What's all the drama between the two of you? I'm so lost." Taeil asked in his usual soft tone. If there was someone who minded only their business, it was Moon Taeil.

"He's too worried that Jungwoo will finally make him acknowledge he's gay. The end." Haechan answered for Doyoung. The silence in the room was more intense than expected.

"Don't say it like that Haechan! That's not what this is about. He-" Doyoung tried to defend himself but he was interrupted.

"Saw you naked? Has been spending too much time around you? Makes you feel things that you've been trying to suppress?" Haechan spoke over him.

The mood was a little tense now. Doyoung hated being the center of attention. He always tried to keep his business to himself, and talking about his sexuality was not the exception. He had been struggling on the inside for the longest time, since he wasn't clear about his sexual orientation and working around that many men made things even harder for him.

"Haechan, just leave it. Now is not the time and Doyoung doesn't need to go in detail with his things." Johnny intervened. "Do, if you don't feel comfortable just let me know and I'll trade places with you, okay?" He said, walking to his friend to grip his hand in a supportive way.

"Thanks John. I'll be okay, thanks though." Doyoung replied.

"Should we get going? We have rehearsal tomorrow morning." Yuta asked as a yawn escaped his mouth.

"Yeah yeah, I think it's the smartest thing I've heard in this room. Let's go Yuta." Mark said as he grabbed Yuta's hand, leading him to their room.

And so the rest of the members grabbed their things, clearing the suite. Dooyung sat there for a while to process what this situation implied. He never rejected the idea that he might feel attracted to men, but he didn't feel ready to open up to everyone about it.

He felt terrified of Jungwoo's presence because whenever he was around, things inside him awakened. Doyoung wasn't a big fan of physical touch and Jungwoo on the other hand loved feeling skin. From tickles, to cheek pinches and head pats Jungwoo expressed his affection. The only reason Doyoung was concerned was because this affection was only towards him. He hated giving his friend the cold shoulder, but he wasn't about to come out to his friends in the middle of a tour and pretend like nothing happened. He just had to avoid Jungwoo for the next two nights. Or at least try...
