Text Me [IV]

"So it's true??" 

"Maybe."

"Hyungggg." Bambam grunts and Youngjae mocks him. "Why can't you just tell me??"

"Because I don't think it matters. Nor is it any of your business."

"Are you kidding me?? Your love life is completely my business!" Bambam almost yells, taking the paintbrush from Youngjae's hand and throwing it into the seats of the theater. 

Youngjae looks to where the paint brush landed and then back to Bambam. "If you don't go pick up Cecil-"

"You're just as dumb for not telling me as you are with naming your fucking paint brushes." Bambam jumps off the stage and trudges over to get the paint brush.

"Your language child." Jinyoung comes out from behind the curtains and Youngjae jumps in shock.

"Jesus hyung are you always in the shadows just waiting?"

"Yes, waiting for you to admit you're dating Jaebum hyung." He sits down on the edge of the stage and sets his book down with his glasses on top. 

Bambam returns with the paint brush and makes a threatening action towards splattering paint all over Youngjae's work. "Tell us."

Youngjae looks horrified as Bambam inches closer to the painting and before he can destroy it, a voice calls from the entrance of the theater. "Your personal photographer has arrived."

Jackson smiles brightly with a black camera in his hand as he skips down the steps to reach the three of them.

His arrival made Bambam drop the paintbrush and Youngjae squeamishly grabbed it before Bambam could do any damage. "My savior."  

Jackson furrows his eyebrows when he sees the paintings and he points towards them. "Did you paint them?"

Youngjae hums in response and Jackson checks the name on the bottom corner. "Choi... Youngjae-" He perks up and almost jumps up. "Choi Youngjae!!"

"Ah yes that's me." Youngjae puts a finger to his ear and Jinyoung laughs. 

"Oh my god you're Jaebum's secret boyfriend we never knew about!"

"Did he tell you we were dating??" Youngjae asks in disbelief.

"Well- not exactly-" Jackson looks at him. "But I know love when I see it."

"Apparently they said they're not dating." Bambam rolls his eyes and motions Jackson to follow him up to the stage. "But we can press on that topic after we take pictures of the stage progression and costumes." He claps happily and leaves Jinyoung and Youngjae alone.

Youngjae continues working on his painting and Jinyoung looks at him contently. "If you ask about Jaebum and I again-"

"I was just going to ask how you're managing." Jinyoung's expression softens and Youngjae sighs while lowering the paintbrush and shrugging. 

"My parents want me to up the level of my business classes and drop pretty much my entire social life, but yet here I am, not being able to resist this stupid paintbrush." He fiddles with it and Jinyoung swiftly moves off the stage to go over and hug Youngjae. 

"Everything will be okay." Youngjae embraced the comfort and rested his head on Jinyoung's shoulder lazily. 

"I'm just so tired of all the pressure and expectations... I don't even want to be in a business major."

"I know.. I'm sorry." Jinyoung could feel Youngjae's frown and he only tightened the grip but released when someone cleared their throat from the stage.
