"Jay-hyung is going to jump your bones." Sunoo teases as they watch Sunghoon drag Jongseong to the bar for a fresh round of shots. The guy is looking back at their table, eyes looking betrayed because how dare Jungwon let the modern day vampire drag Jay away from their leader.
Jungwon just shakes his head, mouth already splitting into a helpless grin.
It's not like he has not noticed. His boyfriend has been sending him looks since this morning. Jungwon has been feeling Jay-hyung's eyes on him all day. Ever since Jungwon walked into the studio with his shiny, soft blonde hair, Jay couldn't look away. And Jungwon would be lying if he says that it's not getting to him.
"True," Jaeyun immediately agrees after downing his drink. "In fact, I can already imagine the trends."
Jungwon has no doubt that their interactions would go viral after tonight, if they haven't already. Some of their moments do even when they don't mean to attract attention. Actually, Jungwon is sure that they don't even mean most of them to go viral.
I guess you can't really hide this type of thing. He thinks to himself. They always end up gravitating towards each other and every now and then, one of them would forget that every single move they make is being recorded. Besides, it's not like they are even trying. They've been together for almost as long as they have been Enhypen, and their interactions have been the way they are even before the media training got their hands on them.
" Jaywon versus Jungwon's blonde hair, which one do you think would take the top spot?" Riki starts with mischief in his eyes. "₩10,000 says that it's going to be the blonde hair. I talked to a few fans about it at my last live. The reaction seems to be intense when it comes to his hair."
" Nah, ₩10,000 to jaywon ." Jaeyun challenges. "I already looked into Twitter. International fans are going wild."
"You looked. That's cheating." Riki groans.
"That's called research, kid." Their hyung, Heeseung, says in defense of Jaeyun. Riki only pouts, looking like the world has conspired to be against him. "But also, ₩10,000 to Jungwonnie's blonde hair because you look very nice, Jungwon-ah."
Riki's pout immediately turns into a cheer while Jaeyun playfully rolls his eyes. Jungwon and Sunoo just laugh at the sudden turn of events. It's nothing new, they like predicting the trends. "Thanks, hyung."
"Also! Also..." Jake excitedly says. "If I can just add a third option. ₩5,000 to Enhypen frat boys or Enhypen party kings or something along the lines of that; because I believe that the scolding worked and the tide will turn into our management's favor."
There's obvious sarcasm in his voice and that alone brings another round of laughter within their table.
So it wasn't like a scolding, exactly. They were just told that it would be 'better' for the group's and the brand's images for them to look more interactive in this event than whatever happened at the afterparty in Milan. In short, it's the usual ride to fuel the fans' fantasies about their group's dynamic. Doesn't matter that they're mostly a group of homebodies and introverts, if the fans say that they're wild party boys, then they better play that part.
