chapter 7

It had been a few months after that whole fiasco went down. Jaebum never pressed the situation past that night and in the back of his mind he felt like youngjae was glad he didn't press it further.

The group had just come out with the newest album MAD and their tours were coming up. The group would be in the dance room from dusk to dawn, practically living in it. Jaebum watched as the members argued about which song they should choreograph for a special encore if the fans wanted. They looked to jaebum for the decision and it dawned on jaebum. "Do we have to do one of our own songs or a song in general?" He looked at JYP who decided to be in on this idea thinking that the fanservice would get them more money so, of course, he didn't oppose the idea. "It doesn't have to be a particular song from your discography so i mean if you have a certain song that isn't apart of of the company than by all means go ahead and use it." Jaebum nodded at JYP's words and walked over to the computer. He looked up a certain song and sucked on his bottom lip. "i was up late one night and i saw this on youtube. This song is a bit sexual but i would make for great fanservice. If you wanted to do a 'late night' fanmeet you could use this song. But i don't know should we just scrap the song?" He played the song and watched as JYP nodded his head. "we should do a special fanmeet and concert for this but we have to be really careful about it. We're going to have to prohibit any phones or photos being taken at the fanmeet. With this song especially you would have to do this at a concert in the usa or in a different country. Why i'm letting you do this? Because i trust jaebum's judgement. Don't make me regret it." Jaebum nodded carefully and looked at the group. "alright. Let's get the choreography going. I already have someone who could help us so please, be good to her. Behave. I don't want any of you making her feel uncomfortable. She's our only chance at making this good so don't complain, don't fight, just do as she says." The boys nodded as the leader looked at the door. "She's here."

Somehow word had gotten out about youngjae's crush on jaebum. Either that or it was PAINFULLY obvious that he liked him. Either way, youngjae would get remarks from the other maknaes about it. "Oh man youngjae, doesn't jaebum look SO good in those jeans?" He would hear yugyeom say. "They way cup jaebum's... well you know~" he would hear bambam say softly in his ear. Youngjae's eyes went from watching mark and jinyoung to jaebum's crotch. He couldn't believe the maknae's were doing this to him. He hid his face in his hands and groaned. " Don't you guys have something better to do? Like practicing this dance?" Youngjae huffed. The two boys laughed and looked at him. "We learn fast so we have a lot of free time." Maknaes with too much time on their hands... are the devil. "Well just leave me alone. I gotta practice too!" Jaebum looked over and saw that the three of them weren't practicing. "Yah! Either practice or go work on other footwork for the tour because we don't have time to slack right now." They all three nodded and returned to whatever they were doing before. The dance instructor had called the boys together. "for the chorus, we're gonna have three groups of two while one of you sing it. The singer will switch between jinyoung, jaebum, youngjae, and yugyeom. Youngjae will sing the first half, jaebum the second. Same for jinyoung and yugyeom. The younger will sing first. It's better to arrange singing parts before assigning partners so the switches can be made easier." The group nodded and watched the choreographer cue the music at half speed. "Partner one will be standing like this." She took jaebum's hand and guided him to the center stage of the room. "Partner one you won't have your hands on partner two. Even if you think it's gonna feel natural, this is not a strip club. This is a dance. So don't. touch. your partner. Your hands will rest like this on the back of your head." Miya rested her hands on the back, lacing her hands to cradle her head. "Once you do that you don't have to do anything until later. Partner two. You do all the work" Miya went over and told the producer to cue up the half speed once again. "What you have to do is a little more complicated." She smirked and bent over, dipping her back and rolling back up. "So what you do is- ah jaebum you gotta stay sweetie sorry." The group was surprised by the dance and how informal she spoke to jaebum. And jaebum himself was... shook. "so when the song says, "take it slow" you're going to do a three stop motion." The chorus came on once again. Youngjae watched the moves she did over and over again and he had zoned out until he heard the words. "Jaebum and Youngjae will be partners." Youngjae snapped from his daze and looked at Miya. "W-wait who's gonna be partner one and two?" Miya snorted and smirked. "It's pretty obvious youngjae-ah. Who ever is more dominant of the two." Youngjae couldn't believe the luck he was having. First this whole dance idea, the thought of it made youngjae feel hot and the song jaebum had chosen had made him feel like the whole damn place was on fire. Second the maknaes bothering him and making him look at his leader and it was all bad but this.... This was throwing him over the edge and youngjae doesn't know if he'll be able to compose himself enough to make it through the chorus. "Come on youngjae. We have to practice this dance." Youngjae looked at jaebum and swallowed thickly. "Give me a moment please. I'm.... I'm sorry" Youngjae left the room and went straight to the bathroom.

Youngjae splashed water in his face and huffed. This was getting too much and he didn't know how long he had been gone but when the maknaes came in, he knew it had probably been a while. "Youngjae let us help you." BamBam said. "help me how? I am not dressed for this kind of dancing nor do i even look good enough to pull it off. I don't know if i can do it guys." Youngjae lowered his head in defeat but looked up to see the two boys smiling at eat other. "We have an idea but you gotta let us do our magic and by us, i mean bambam." Yugyeom stated. Youngjae rolled his eyes and shrugged. What else did he have to lose? "Fine just don't make me look bad."

"Where is youngjae and the other two? It's been almost an hour and i haven't seen them once. i'm worried..." Jackson looked at the clock and back at Miya. "Well if he doesn't come back we're gonna have to continu-" They all turned their heads as soon as they heard the door slam open. The maknaes smirked and stepped in the room first. "Ladies and gentlemen, Choi youngjae!!" Youngjae stepped into the room and instantly everything became a blurred sensation for youngjae.

Jaebum looked in the direction of the maknaes and watched as his roommate stepped into the room. He looked at youngjae head to toe and licked his lips. He noticed how youngjae's hair was styled, the way his hair looked messy and disheveled, how it partially curled to cover his left eye so you could see his little freckle. He looked down further and took a look at the whole body. Youngjae had been wearing a hoodie but he could now see that youngjae was wearing a dark blue almost black shirt. The shirt was a little big on him so it was showing his collarbones. Jaebum's stomach did back flips as he realized who's shirt that was. He looked to see that youngjae and yugyeom had traded pants to make the look complete. The black ripped jeans, the shirt, the hair, the whole look itself was enough to make jaebum go crazy and eat the boy up. He sucked on his bottom lip as he watched his roommate approach him with the look in his eye that made jaebum shiver. "Let's get started." Youngjae said softly. That sweet, innocent voice was what kept jaebum grounded. He exhaled softly and nodded to cue the music. Jaebum laced his fingers together and put them against the back of his head and watched as youngjae got in position for the chorus.

The dance itself was not that bad and he had practiced this with mark but the way youngjae grabbed his arm and dipped his back, circling his hips teasingly, it drove jaebum WILD. He could feel a low growl leave his mouth as youngjae came back up and turned on beat, putting his hands on jaebum's chest and pushing off when the music stopped. "Alright everyone. It seems like y'all got it. Now go get some rest. Wash up. I'll be looking forward to see you guys preform this." The choreographer smiled, gathered her things, bowed and left. "WOW Youngjae!!! You looked really good! I mean you still do but wow!" Jackson broke the silence with his loud voice. Youngjae laughed and waved it off. "No no! I don't look good i just look okay. It was BamBam and yugyeom's idea to make me all like this. This helped me get into the rhythm of the song. So if anything you should be complimenting them. " "Oh come on youngjae give yourself at least a little credit. The model deserves credit too. After all you do look rather good in that outfit. " Mark said with a smile. "Wait but i gotta ask.... Who's shirt is that?" Youngjae blushed and cleared his throat. "I found it on the frame of my bed. I thought it was mine so i just put it on. Usually i just wear my hoodies as shirts but i guess today was a good day not to." He smiled and giggled cheerfully. Jaebum looked at youngjae before clearing his throat. "Alright now. Let's get some sleep. We have to continue practicing this dance for another month or so so lets just get some rest so we can remember it when we wake up." The members nodded as they filed out the door to go to the dorm.

It was impossible for jaebum to sleep that night. He couldn't stop thinking about the whole moment. The way youngjae had looked haunted his dreams and turned something so calm into something heavy and heated very quickly. He could feel his body swimming in heat. That heat becoming painful if not a little enjoyable as he realized that his tattoo was more completed. He looked at the clock "4:20" he mentally said blaze it and decided that sleep was the best thing for him. He managed to doze off, the only thing on his mind was youngjae.

"Hyung.... Hyung.... IM JAEBUM!!!" Jaebum woke up frantic and practically panting. "what the hell? What time is it?" Jaebum yawned. "It's almost 11. We have our Weekly Idol episode to shoot in 2 hours so start getting ready." Youngjae cracked his knuckles and began walking out the door. "oh and hyung?" jaebum looked at youngjae. "You might wanna fix yourself up. We aren't going camping so don't bring your tent." Youngjae snorted as he closed the door behind him.
