"You know," Jeongguk looks up to his hyung, mouth full of jjajangmyeon. "our fans never fails to give me the goosebumps. Whether it's the good kind or the bad kind."

Taehyung grins at the younger and ruffles his hair, "Keep eating baby, I'll do the talking."

The latter frowns, ready to fight Taehyung for calling him baby (he was 27 for pete's sake, turning 28), but it was overweighed by the deliciousness of the noodles. So, he decided to shut up and continue slurping like there's no tomorrow. He'll get his revenge later, food is more important right now.

"So," unaware of the glare Jeongguk gave to him, the man continued obliviously. "I decided to pay a visit to my company. And then I saw that there was a photoshoot in progess. Why not go and check it out, you know? It's not like something's going to happen."

"But I was wrong! Something did happen!" He snaps his fingers in excitement, "In a good way though. As I walked around, the staffs approached me, trying to get on my good side. It's a little annoying, but I can bear with it. And then, one of the models we scouted straight up told one staff that she wasn't going to say hi."

"She said, and I quote 'Let him say hi if he wants to. I don't want to force myself into forming fake relationships'." Jeongguk's ears perk up at that, whoever the model was had no fear at all. "And the staff was mad, mad I tell you! I couldn't help but to laugh at the both of them!"

That was so typical of his hyung, the man thinks. When he's in an especially good mood, he would laugh even at the driest of jokes. And judging by the sparkle of his eyes and exagerated hand gestures, he woke up on the right side of the bed. And with the situation he's explaining right now, it's not something one should laugh lightly about.

"What about the model? She'd probably be a victim of fake articles from the web. I wouldn't be even surprised if she started trending on twitter." He interrupts, and instantly regretting it once he saw the look on his hyung's face.

"Why? Are you concerned for her? Do you want me to tell you her name?" The teasing tone was obvious in every word that Taehyung spoke, and he wanted to turn back time and make sure that he doesn't butt in to his hyung's storytimes.

Oh gosh, he could feel his ears burning red.
"Hyung, you know that I can't have relationships right now. Also, who made this? This is amazing."

Taehyung smirks and pinches his cheek, the younger swatting his hand away with a scowl. "Aww, is my baby ggukie shy because he has a crush on one of the models who work for me?" Once he saw Jeongguk's expression, whose face literally screamed 'I will kill you', he cleared his throat. "My wife made that, she's a great cook. She kicked me out of the house and forced me to give it to you."

"Oh," There it is again, the heavy weight in his heart. "You didn't come here because you wanted to?"

"Of course. I'm a busy person you know."

Jeongguk heart deflates.

Taehyung realizes his bad choice of words and panics. "No, Jeongguk-ah, its just that times have changed and we're not the same old people who can meet up with one call away. I'm busy, you're busy and we have our own lives-"

"Yeah, I know, I know." Jeongguk finishes the last remains of the dish from the container and pushes it towards his hyung. "Please tell your wife that she's a great cook. I enjoyed her dish. You may now go if you want to."
