I don't want you like a "Bestfriend" | C.S.C x Y.J.H ✔️

made your mark on me, a golden tattoo

This chapter is like an interlude. It's neither in Seungcheol's POV, nor in Jeonghan's.

___________________

They would've completed six months without anyone knowing, only if they were a little careful. But Jeonghan and Seungcheol had started to become reckless, carefree with their arrangement. They were leaving too many evidences on their trail.

Jeonghan still hadn't gotten ready for the concert. Minghao knocked on the door of the changing room before pushing it open. His hyung looked like he stopped pacing up and down at the sound. Jeonghan didn't bother to check, "Thank god, Joshuji. You are here. See this mess here". He would've liked to.

He bared his neck to who he thought was Joshua, was obviously shocked to see Minghao instead. The younger's eyes moved from his wide eyes to the hickey adorning his neck; loud and clear.

Minghao, ever so calm, made his anxious hyung sit, "Can I help hyung?"

He made a move when Jeonghan didn't say anything, "Let me."

If Jeonghan was curious as to why Minghao had a gold colour ink with him at this time, he didn't bother showing it.

Minghao worked on his hyung's neck, silently, making a tattoo to cover the hickey completely.

"Eisa, thank you so much for this and not asking...anything."

"No problem, hyung. Although it is quite strange as I gave Seungcheol hyung the same tattoo few minutes ago."

He watched Jeonghan's eyes widening for the second time, worry deepening on his features and immediately felt guilty of enjoying such a troubled expression on the face of Yoon Jeonghan. Minghao could come off as mean but he wasn't actually mean. He gestured to zip his lips and smiled assuringly.

But not everyone could keep their mouths zipped up.

"Hyung, what is this tattoo?", Hoshi asked.

"Seungcheol hyung also has one", Seungkwan joined in.

"Why?", Dokyeom, not missing a beat.

Always BooSeokSoon.

"I also have one", Joshua jumped in to handle the situation, "Minghao gave 95 liners tattoo."

Mingyu's ears perked up at that. He along with Dokyeom pouted and whined, "Myungho-yah, we are 97 liners. Give us tattoos please."

Minghao didn't give them tattoos.

After the concert, everyone had let go of the topic from before but Woozi didn't, "Why is Seungcheol and Jeonghan hyung's tattoo exactly the same and Joshua hyung's different?"

"Because Joshua hyung couldn't sit still so I had to give him a simpler design", This time it was Minghao who saved the situation.

But Woozi's suspicions didn't root from here. He had been observing his hyungs, especially Seungcheol, for a long time now. So, later that night, Woozi went to Wonwoo, knowing very well that Wonwoo was the next smart person after the eldest two.

Might as well be smarter than them as they couldn't hide their escapades from Wonwoo. Seungcheol's room was on the same floor as Wonwoo and he stayed up till late. So, quite a few times, he saw their leader sneaking out late at night or Jeonghan sneaking in. Many times, he stayed up till early hours of morning, when Jeonghan sneaked out or Seungcheol sneaked in. Shared clothes. Oh and the japan trip where the elders claimed they were drinking wine but wine glasses were inside the bathroom. Now, he wasn't the one to judge but the ambience of the bathroom was a bit strange.
