Again? [SeongSang FF]

Nine

After publication, as usual, the whole crew made their way to the pub, Seonghwa keeping a distance away from his younger co-worker as they walked. We all know why. He was still really embarrassed that he almost let himself go when he was with Yeosang. He liked that small kiss a bit too much and it was not a good sign for the future. He just wasn't ready to fall for someone like that. Especially not at work and especially not with a guy, knowing his reputation with women. This shoot was a one time thing.

Yeosang felt similarly. He had never had such intimate contact before and it was with a guy he didn't even have feelings for. His old girlfriend only used him as a pet. Like a chihuahua. You carry them around and people think they're super cute, but in the end, are they really getting as much love as they're giving?

Seonghwa bit his lip as he watched Yeosang brush back his hair as he walked in front of him. How was he supposed to talk to him now? What would he say? 'Hey, your cheek was really soft when I kissed it, mind if I do it again?' Not that it's a lie but, it definitely comes off strange.

When they arrive, Seonghwa takes a seat across from Yeosang on the long table. Some female workers from the lighting and set team sit on his left and his right. Seonghwa knew they had their foxy eyes on him since the first shoot they had together. Hell, they even tried to beat him  and Jongho to the seats beside him the last time they came to the pub.

"So Yeosang, you drinking tonight?" One of them asks, stroking her long finger nails along his sleeve as she tilts her head.

Yeosang glanced up at Seonghwa who was sipping on some water. Though, he quickly directed his gaze back to the woman before he was caught by either of them.

"Sure."

That's all they needed to stir disaster.

After an hour or two of drinking, the girls were cooing and petting Yeosang all over his arms and even his chest after some point. It drove Seonghwa insane. If he stopped them, it would be obvious something was going on, but if he just sat there, he would get dragged away without his control. At least with Jongho there was some fair ground since they're both dudes, but in a society like this, they had the upper hand.

It was clear that the girls were turning this into a competition however. Making quick glares at each other while they try and woo Yeosang.

The whole night, Seonghwa sipped on water. The last thing he wanted was Yeosang to get dragged away while he was drunk as hell and couldn't do anything. He kept a strong eye on him though. Peeking up from his glass, and spying form across the table. Stretching his long legs out to stop the vixens from rubbing their own legs against Yeosang's. He wasn't having any of it.

"I think I'm gonna..." Yeosang barely made out before taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry, give me a moment," he said before pushing away from the table and the girls' grasps and dashing towards the bathroom.

Seonghwa hesitated. He took a moment before resting his glass on the table.

"I'll check up on him," he said before hurriedly going after the drunk Yeosang.

-

"Are you ok?" Seonghwa asked, knocking lightly on Yeosang's stall.

"Mhm..."

"Feeling sick?"

"It felt like it for a second but I'm alright." He said softly.

The bathroom fell silent. It was only the two of them but it only made it more awkward. Yeosang was almost afraid to step out to the stall, knowing how he'd feel seeing Seonghwa worried about him.
