[ChunJoe] We Are Not a Joke [Teen Top] DISCONTINUED

Chapter Nine - Kings of New York

[A.N: Hi everyone~ I know, this is all so exciting... One minute this story was discontinued, now suddenly it's not. I know, it's all terribly confusing and super weird to come back to a story 2 years after originally discontinuing it, but honestly, my motivation to write this story just miraculously reappeared! Huzzah! I hope you enjoy this chapter, I tried to make it quite dramatic as a reintroduction back into this wonderful world of ChunJoe again~]

*L.Joe's POV*

Boarding the plane with my cute little Chan-hee infront of me, I couldn't believe how much things had changed recently, from the two of us barely talking to us now living together and apparently taking a vacation to New York alone. Stepping onto the plane, Chunji turned back to look at me with an obvious grin on his face. The vacation he'd been dreaming of for years was finally coming true, and I was thrilled to be sharing the experience with him. I loved New York, whenever we'd visited in the past, it always seemed a shame to leave, so I was glad this time we could visit strictly for pleasure, without needing to do any photoshoots, promotional work, interviews, etc. And I had a feeling that with Chunji accompanying me, I would experience a lot of pleasure indeed.

Honestly, I don't really know what comes over me when it comes to Chan-hee, it's like I lose all control of myself and become a completely different person entirely. If he'd heard my mental thoughts just then, I'm sure he'd curse me for eternity. We'd only just managed to stabilise our rocky relationship, the last thing I wanted to do now was scare him off by being way too forward.

On the plane, we didn't speak much. But that's the way it always is when we travel because Chunji gets travel-sick very easily, so I tend to leave him to do his own thing incase I somehow make him feel worse or something. I browsed through a couple of the on-flight movies, but they weren't particularly interesting so I didn't pay much attention. Before I knew it, we were well over half-way through the flight and Chan-hee was dead to the world in one of the deepest sleeps I'd ever witnessed. Not being one to let a situation go amiss, I carefully pulled down my over-head luggage being quiet so as not to wake him, and removed a silver glittery permanent marker.

Oh yes, I really am that immature.

Now there was only the small matter of deciding what to desecrate the sleeping angel's face with. Would it be a penis, or something slightly more flattering?

A penis with angel wings. Perfect.

The idea appeared in my mind so vividly that it would've been a sin not to use it. Cautiously, I went about creating my masterpiece across the entirety of Chunji's face. I really hoped that this marker was skin-safe or I'd soon come to regret my decision. If I didn't end up doing that, anyway.

One of the flight attendants walked past and caught a glimpse of what I was doing, letting out a shrill-like giggle that irritated me more than usual because it caused Chan-hee to stir in his sleep. "Such sweet friends!" She exclaimed, before moving along to deal with passengers who actually needed her assistance. Such sweet friends!

Friends? I think we're more than friends at this stage, but whatever. I can't exactly say it outright to the world. Hello, I'm Teen Top's L.Joe, and I'm here to confirm that ChunJoe is 100% a thing. Yes, that's right... Yes, I know this country doesn't approve of homosexuality... Yes, I'm sure I'm about to be dropped from the label.. Oh wait, I am?

Perhaps it's better that people do think that we're just friends.

"Byung-hun..." A small voice whimpered beside me, instantly directing my attention back to who it should've been in the first place. Chunji was still fast asleep, but in his sleep he'd shuffled closer to me and mumbled my name. A small gesture, yet big enough to melt my heart entirely. I loved this man, my best friend, and I would do whatever it takes to make him happy and keep him safe.
