Present.

Beomgyu was pacing up and down the lounge room, stopping in the middle, losing himself in thought, shaking his head and repeating. Hueningkai was having enough of this. He thought he might go bonkers just by watching his hyung's present antics.

"Hyung, you are giving me a headache. Please stop. I could feel the negative energy cloud right above your head. Sit and do Pranayama. Like this, close one of your nostrils-"

The younger couldn't finish his sentence, as Beomgyu grabbed the magazine on the table and flung it at Hueningkai.

"Your breathing exercises have been giving me a literal headache. Now, is not the time." Beomgyu snapped.

Huening gave him a skeptical look and said,"It works only if you do it properly. You don't finish it. You run off for bubble tea. Every. Fucking. Time."

Beomgyu ignored the younger's remark and plopped himself down on the couch.

Hueningkai placed a hand on the other's thigh, causing Beomgyu to look up.

" What exactly is the problem, hyung? Look it's pretty simple. Jungkook hyung called you. Its something about a song. He discusses it and thats it. Done."

"What if its something else? Maybe the song is just a cover."

"Hyung, if he wanted to murder you or something he would have done it in plain sight. He literally kissed Kim Taehyung in front of the entire papparazzi. And what? He is still here. Both of them are."

"But what if its a scolding?"

"For what? You didn't do anything."

Beomgyu looked down the floor and bit his lips. Oh god only if he knew.

Hueningkai was going bonkers now.

"Oh shit hyung, what did you do?"

"I kinda may have ruined his hoodie." Beomgyu mumbled out.

"Ok. Wait-what?!"

"It was raining, ok. We had gone to buy ramen from the store and it started raining. So he gave me his hoodie. I forgot to return it and yesterday I accidentally, stress on the word accidentally, knocked a glass of bubble tea over it." By that time Beomgyu's voice had almost died down and it was a whisper that Hueningkai heard.

Hueningkai stared lifelessly. Not at Beomgyu. But the one at the door.

Jeon Jungkook.

And he heard everything.

Oh well, if the words, Trouble, Fucked, and Up had a threesome, the endproduct would be Choi Beomgyu.

◇

Fortunately, Jungkook did not scold poor Beomgyu. And Beomgyu folded down 90 degrees, almost crying out that he would return the hoodie, washed and ironed crisp. Hueningkai laughed at the two retreating figures, who passed by the corridor into Jungkook's studio.

Beomgyu's forever dream of having a collab with his senior was finally coming true.

Hueningkai smiled as he remembered when Jungkook hyung was officially declared as PD at Bighit. And to be honest, he could never twist his mind to call his senior as Jungkook PD-nim. One time he called him, and next thing he saw was Jungkook having a mini existential crisis. He had whacked Huening in the back of his head and threatened him never to call that or else he would burn all his hair-ties.

(Ah yes, somewhere between owning 58 plushies and receiving a rhinestone-studded hair-tie from Hoseok hyung, Hueningkai grew up).

Hueningkai was no more Bighit's maknae, he was senior to a couple of other groups. He did solo activity after disbandment and even collabs with western artists. He was the talented little Ningning. It had been more than 10 years since he came to Bighit and still he feels nothing has changed.
