Despite knowing that he had to get up at a decent time for their album recording the next day, Jisung was unable to even attempt to sleep. He just stared up at his ceiling since every time he closed his eyes, the producer found himself in one of two moments. One, was when they were taking photos and Minho placed a hand on his waist for reasons Jisung wasn't even close to the possibility of knowing, and the other was when...God, why couldn't he even remember what led up to it? All he knew was that Minho suddenly wrapped his arms around him, holding the younger one tight as he said, "no, he's mine," and Jisung was so flustered that he couldn't even properly hide it when the moment took place. He remembered looking over at Minho who was acting as if everything was fine. Which, in theory, it was.

It really wasn't unlike Minho to do such a thing. In fact, a lot of people weren't even surprised when clips started circulating online because of course someone was recording, not that Jisung was necessarily upset that there's videos of the moment. I mean, he'd added quite a few of them to his little collection despite all of them being the same angle. It was more so about the fact that he'd felt that he may have embarrassed himself with how flustered he'd become. But thank God that angle they'd been filmed at was 144p at best and didn't show him blushing in 4k. At least he managed to bite back the heat from rushing to his face long enough for the photos when Minho was quite literally holding him.

The producer rubbed his face before turning onto his stomach to bury his face into his pillow and groaning into it as he felt heat rushing to his face just thinking about the moments that had occurred. He wasn't sure what it was that upset him more; the fact that fans had seen him flustered when Minho had suddenly claimed him, or the fact that his mind was so foggy when Minho was holding him, that he couldn't really remember the feeling, or moment, in general very well. And the fact that Jisung recognized both scenarios were awful was bad enough, but Jisung not being able to tell which was worse was driving him even more crazy (he had a feeling which one was, but the idea of fans seeing him in such a state being the best case scenario was just utterly embarrassing).

He turned to lay supine after grabbing his headphones, deciding to try to flood the moments from his mind with music in an attempt to get some sleep. And luckily for him, it worked. However, unluckily for him, all Jisung could dream about were the two moments themselves.

So, the following day, when he made a few mistakes at the beginning of recording, he blamed it on the fact that he'd gotten poor sleep the night before. Even making a joke after he got the part right, "looks like the energy drinks kicked in."

Chan laughed before asking if he wanted to do another take and he agreed to it just to make sure he liked it, doing a few more afterwards before they both agreed on the one they liked the best before Chan said, "alright, let's move onto the next verse then." Jisung nodded, nodding his head along to the music that began to play. Though, right as he was about to begin his part, he saw Minho walk into the studio and stumbled over the first few words because of it. Jisung laughed it off as Chan looked behind him and hummed before speaking to the younger one in the recording room, "okay, let's try again."

"Okay yeah," Jisung nodded, closing his eyes for a moment as he took a deep breath before opening them once again.

Minho sat on the couch to watch Jisung during his recording session. And when Jisung recognized that fact, he panicked a little, forcing himself to shake it off before recording his part with ease the second time around. As both Chan and Minho nodded to the playback, the younger one smiled.

He still recorded it again though. Three more times because Jisung, himself, wasn't a fan of the way it was, but also because the final time he recorded it, not only did he feel good with the way it turned out, but Minho even nodded and said, "I like this one too." Which, of course, earned Jisung a look from Chan which was a knowing smile as he wiggled his eyebrows, causing the younger producer to roll his eyes, "okay, that one's done, right?"
