Soongyu - For All To See

:: Good Friends ::

He loves me... He really loves me.
Soonyoung couldn't help but blush and giggle to himself as the thoughts swirled around his mind. Today was Chan's 20th birthday and the members were getting ready to head to their favourite Chinese restaurant, as was tradition. Soonyoung was currently drying off his hair which was now dyed black, vigorously rubbing his head with his towel as he sat down on the chair by his desk. He was shirtless wearing only a pair of dark denim jeans and had his phone on the desk beside him, playing his and Jihoon's song "Bring it" which was still one of his personal favourites.

Several weeks had passed since Mingyu and Soonyoung had made love for the first time and they hadn't been able to do so again since that night. Soonyoung felt a little disappointed over the fact however they never seemed to have the time - or at least enough time alone to do anything.

They'd woken up the following morning wrapped in each others arms, both of their cheeks venturing through the spectrum of different shades of pinks and reds as their brown eyes which were glazed with sleep met one another. Just thinking back to the pure look of adoration on Mingyu's face as he'd looked at Soonyoung after waking up was enough to make Soonyoung feel giddy all over again. Everything had been perfect. Their brief and light kisses, the intertwining of their fingers, the soft caresses against one another's cheeks. All of it had felt like a dream, too good to be true... Right up until Soonyoung sat up.

Soonyoung began remembering all too well how much pain he had felt that day, feeling like his ass was tearing with every movement he made. Dance practice that day had been been a living hell and Soonyoung shuddered at the memory. Mingyu had desperately wanted to comfort Soonyoung but wasn't able to without it seeming weird to everyone else. Obviously Mingyu knew why Soonyoung was in pain, but Soonyoung had to pretend it was something entirely different to the rest of the members in order to avoid questions and suspicion. So he bit his lip to try divert his attention from the pain in his behind as they continued with their practice.

Minghao however seemed to watch Soonyoung knowingly which had made him feel embarrassed. Mingyu had told Soonyoung about his conversation with Minghao, so Soonyoung knew that Minghao was aware of their relationship. He was extremely grateful that Minghao had agreed to keep them a secret, but his heart also hurt for his dongsaeng. Mingyu hadn't gone into too much detail about Minghao's own experience out of respect for Minghao and not wanting to entirely break his trust - which Soonyoung could respect. All Mingyu could really say was that Minghao understood how they both felt and that's why he was willing to keep their love life a secret from everyone else.

Soonyoung leaned back in his chair, dropping his arms down from his head and into his lap, allowing the towel to simply rest over the top of his head and hang down either side reaching his shoulders.
Soonyoung was extremely curious as to what exactly Minghao was going through, but he didn't want to push the issue or seem invasive. Though he had taken Minghao aside that day after practice in order to have a quick word.

"Minghao?" Soonyoung spoke with a low in tone. His voice was slightly ragged from a mixture of both pain and tiredness from their practice. The performance team had just finished practicing the dances for their special stage and now the hip-hop team was taking their turn. This allowed the performance team members to have a quick rest and catch their breaths. Thankfully this gave Soonyoung a chance to talk to Minghao.

He looked towards his dongsaeng, gently placing a hand on Minghao's shoulder to gain his attention. Minghao raised his head and looked towards Soonyoung, arching a sculpted eyebrow in his direction, "Yes hyung?"

Soonyoung briefly glanced around to check where everyone else was before moving his hand down from Minghao's shoulder and gently grasping his wrist, giving it a light tug as he moved the pair of them closer to one of the far walls, out of hearing range of the other members who were all too busy going about their business.
