Put your lips on my scars and teach me to love • SeKen

Ken: JP

Ken doesn't understand why Sejun has put a bounty on his head. The bounty in question, is the leader's ire for him. The other guys were nice and funny, they thought him a little weird but they still like him nonetheless. But Sejun. Sejun Sejun Sejun.

Sejun lit a cigarette after meeting him.

That bothers Ken the most. He asked the other members if they drink or smoke. Drink, occasionally yes, but not smoke. Never smoke. They all know how smoking affects their ability to sing and according to them, Sejun is the strictest person in the group about it.

Stell had briefed him what their roles in the group were, and it surprised Ken that Sejun just disregarded being the lead vocalist in favor of alleviating his displeasure with him.

Somehow, Ken feels responsible.

It's not just because he's worried about Sejun getting scolded, he's more worried about the leader's voice getting wrecked. He can't let that happen.

So with humility, he arrives at the studio the next day with a plan.

"Good morning," he greets some of the staff as he enters and immediately sees the other men huddled in the studio playing games on their phones.

Checking his watch to make sure he isn't late, Ken notes that he is five minutes late. He knocks on the door sheepishly to get their attention and all heads snap to him.

"Oi, Ken!" Josh waves.

"Morning pre," Justin greets.

"Good morning!" Stell smiles at him.

Ken grins back at the three of them but he doesn't see Sejun.

"Nasan si Sejun?" He asks and the three share a look.

"Late?" Stell answers, and Josh and Justin only shrug.

"Which is unusual kasi sya lagi nauuna dumating, so baka absent?" Justin says scratching his head.

"Di ah. Kung absent sya mag tetext yon," Josh answers while checking his phone. He shakes his head after a few seconds. "Wala, walang text. Late yon."

Ken nods slowly, trusting the men on news about Sejun. It doesn't matter that the leader is late, what's important is that Sejun is present for his plan to work.

They prepare for warm ups and the men show Ken how to do it properly. The warm ups require some stretching and flexibility, and Ken finds himself struggling on that part. Fortunately, Justin the youngest is very friendly, walking him through the stretches and helping him reach a certain flexibility he has never quite achieved before.

An hour passes by and the men start teaching Ken a few choreographies that they plan to cover. As a dancer with a natural flow to his body, Ken gets the dances immediately.

Stell is very impressed with him, even going as far as asking him to change a part of their outdated choreography for their unreleased song.

Honored to have a little participation on a project, Ken agrees.

"Bluetooth ko sayo yung latest dance practice ng LG namin," Stell says and gestures for Ken to open his Bluetooth. "Para may idea ka."

"Ge, ge," Ken nods and does as told. The video is sent successfully and Ken watches the dance practice.

There are five guys, their hair colors and styles are different but Ken recognizes four of them. There's Josh, Justin, Stell, and of course, Sejun. But the fifth guy he doesn't know.

The dance looks cool and snappy. Ken finds himself liking it and already he's thinking of a few moves that he could add but the longer he watches, the more his eyes land on the unknown fifth guy. Curiosity opens his mouth to ask:
