When Junkyu comforts Jihoon

__________________________


Jihoon was nervous for many reasons. One, he had recently caught a cold, which would heavily obstruct him from giving a perfect performance, and yes, he got quite a lot of parts to deliver. Two, he had recently been under pressure from the company. He had made a few mistakes here and there, which marked him as a target among the haters, which obviously, the agency didn't want. So, he was asked to stay extra careful not to repeat those. Jihoon didn't like to get told what to do, or scolded for being honest and carefree. He didn't like the restraint and it showed in his face.

His members knew that. Jihoon's usually very cheerful, so when he's quiet, it's usually because of two reasons- one, he's sick, two, he's upset. That day, it was both.

They attended the award show as per schedule. Back to back fanmeets, flying from Korea to Japan and vice versa took a toll on their bodies, and of course practising for the award show. Jihoon's condition hadn't got any better. They had received a prestigious award. Jihoon was happy. Really really happy. He even prepared the formal speech as a leader. But when he stood on the stage, looking at the audience, he felt dizzy. He had a headache, and the fear of not performing well due to his sickness worried him. He heard his co leader giving the perfect speech and then his best friend, his soulmate, the guy he was always standing strong for- Kim Junkyu deliver his speech. He sounded so good. So confident. Jihoon loved that after all these years, Junkyu was finally getting the recognition he deserved.

He looked at Junkyu, the man was glowing in an all white fit, glittery undereyes and styled blonde hair. Junkyu looked at him too, and immediately caught the shift in his mood.

He bent his head to listen to what Jihoon had to say.

"I'm nervous." Jihoon whispered. Junkyu didn't quite get it.

"Hm?"

"I'm worried about the performance later."

This time, Junkyu understood. He didn't say anything, only his hand swiftly moved to Jihoon's shoulder, tapping that spot to convey what hushed whispers wouldn't be enough for- 'It's okay, you'll do just fine. I know you will. I trust you.'

Jihoon felt the taps, and it calmed his heart. He took the mic and delivered the short speech. He smiled at the audience, and from behind, his soulmate showed thumbs up. To the fans, to his man as well.

They went backstage afterwards, to change and prepare for their performance later. Junkyu quickly pulled Jihoon.

"Hey?" He asked, "Are you still worried about the performance?"

"A little." Answered Jihoon, "My throat hurts."

Junkyu felt bad, so he took the other in a warm hug, "You'll be fine, Hoonie. We all know you carry a major part of the stage every time. Just believe in yourself. Because I do."

Jihoon smiled. He took a deep breath, pulling the other closer to his chest. Yes he would be alright. There was Junkyu, there were others, and there were millions of fans wishing them luck. He'd be alright.

"Thanks, Kyu." He let go, but kept their foreheads together, "Let's rock the stage."

The younger smiled, and then, ever so lightly, left a peck on Jihoon's lips. It earned him a shy smile from the amazing male, they don't usually show affection when they're not alone, plus Junkyu barely ever initiates anything, so the simple yet precious action sent chills down Jihoon's spine. He definitely needed to give his all.

And he did. Although he felt unwell, he ignored the hammering inside his head, the soreness in his throat and the aching limbs. He performed his best. And as always, he slayed. The sound system was shitty, but they got so many compliments, from the audience, guests, staffs and from those who watched them online. Satisfied, they went back, and Junkyu immediately hugged his man.

"See? I told you you'll be staying!" Giggled Junkyu. "My Ji never disappoints!"

Jihoon giggled back, "You stole the show yourself, Mr. cute blonde guy."

They went back to change again. To freshen up after that crazy performance. The members were all happy. Some even teased those two for being clingy publicly. They didn't care. Because Junkyu knew Jihoon needed that. He might be a reserved person, but in need, he would always choose to comfort his man.

So when they went back to the dorm, exhausted to dust, Junkyu wished for nothing but to fall on his bed and sleep like a log, but instead, he found himself grabbing two cans of beer and head towards a certain room. Hyunsuk teased him on his way, Junkyu paid no heed to that. He knew his hyung was mentally happy to know that Jihoon was in his care.

Jihoon opened up to a smiling Junkyu. He was highly surprised because damn! The sleepyhead was in front of his door at around midnight? With beer?

"Move." Junkyu spoke as he made his way through. Jihoon closed the door and looked at him in question.

"What is president Kyu doing in my room this late?"

"Can't I be here with my boyfriend?" Junkyu added.

"Of course you can!" Jihoon hugged him, "Ahh I missed you."

"How do you feel?" Asked Junkyu after a while.

"Hmmm quite okay, actually. I took a long shower and some pills. The headache's gone." He fell down on the bed and asked the other to accompany him. Junkyu gladly follwed. The moment his back touched the mattress, Jihoon tangled their limbs together. He pulled the guy and put a long kiss on his cheek.

"What are you doing?" Junkyu chuckled.

"Nothing." Jihoon kissed his cheek again, "Just thanking you for comforting me today."

"I didn't do it to get anything in return though."

"I know, just feel like doing it." Jihoon pressed his lips on Junkyu's lips this time, making him leave a shy smile.

"But are you actually alright though?" Junkyu asked, "Like no worries or bad feelings?"

"None at all." Jihoon grinned, "It's all thanks to you, my Kyu."

Junkyu looked at him, their eyes were sparkling under the bright lights, Junkyu still had his makeup on, cause he was really lazy. His sparkly under eyes made him look prettier than ever. Jihoon felt drawn to those eyes. So he leaned in, and this time, the pecks turned into real kisses.

Because he pulled Junkyu's face and kissed him for a long, long time. Junkyu reciprocated, giving in to the softness of those lips.

Jihoon might still feel sad or distressed. But he knew, every time, Junkyu's pretty lips would say the perfect words or do the perfect things to make him feel better. He promised to do the same to his lover in times of need.
