Drunk Games

Chapter 16 Universe Factory

Soonyoung caught up to Woozi as he was exiting the stage towards the green rooms. Walking behind his short hyung reminded soonyoung of how he was fascinated about this short guy being so quick on the first day at campus. He was still fascinated about it. He got lost in thoughts when he bumped into the smaller as he stopped to open a room.

H: I'm sorry Hyung I got lost in thoughts (smiling like an idiot as usual)

W: You sure like to bump into people a lot. (Eyeing the taller a little irritated) Stop that or you'll get hurt.
All the things about Woozi being a very dangerous person to mess with that DK told Hoshi came back to his mind. He was suddenly worried about going into the room. He imagined himself being grilled on top of a fire while Woozi laughed like a crazy person.

W: It's good that you didn't cause a lot of trouble last time you bumped into the waiter. You could've got hurt. Not that I care if you had but still I would've had to pay the bills so.
With that Woozi opened the door and went into his in campus studio. But then it hit Hoshi that he was talking about him bumping into the waiter at the party. He suddenly felt relieved and his anxiety towards Woozi calmed. He is a good person why would Seokmin say weird things about him, he thought as he entered the dark room.

H: Oh about that ! I'm really sorry hyung! I wasn't in my right.. wow!
The room was dark but the moment Woozi turned the lights on Soonyoung couldn't even finish his sentence before wow came out of his mouth. Woozi laughed quietly at the awestruck Soonyoung.
The room was packed with recording equipment, speakers and a desktop on one side with a recording booth. The other side was filled with various instruments and a couch. There was a single chair that sat beside the recording side which indicated that he mostly worked alone. The lights were low on the left side Blue in color with a neon sign in pink that said universe factory. The other side had florescent yellow lights, still dimly lit but giving a warm feeling. It was a paradise for a music producer.
Soonyoung was excited to see a lot of new things at once. He absorbed it all then turned back to Woozi who was smiling fondly at him. It would be a lie to say that his heart didn't skip a beat looking at woozi smiling brightly as it reminded him of the day of the invitation ceremony. He's so cute when he smiles how is he dangerous? Were his immediate thoughts.
W: You say the weirdest things Soonyoung. Now don't just stare at my workplace come sit we have things to discuss.

H: But this is amazing hyung! Can you show me around a little bit before we discuss the things? I'm really excited right now.
The last sentence sent shivers down Woozi's spine as he mentally slapped himself to not act like a pervert. Why does this kid have that effect on me? Why is it just him that makes me want to do things l I've never done before. I'm not my usually self around me. From the first moment I met him he changes me. Even my batchmates can see the clear difference. He's dangerous. He's dangerous for my heart. Woozi processed thousands of thoughts at once. But since it's just the two of us here right now I don't really need to be harsh on him right? No I shouldn't. I should maintain a distance from people so I won't get hurt. That's been my motto since childhood. Then why is he making me want to let him in?
While Woozi was frozen lost in thoughts Hoshi walked closer to his hyung because he wasn't replying and he didn't want to ask the same thing again in fear. He bent down a bit to match their eye levels and tapped lightly on Woozi's shoulder to bring him back to reality.
Woozi met eyes with Hoshi's beautiful sparkly eyes full of curiosity. It looked like he was watching anime upfront. His ears started to turn red. He pushed Hoshi back lightly before it could get dangerous.

W: Fine I'll show you around. Don't break anything.
H: Yes ! Thank you hyung you're the best.

After what seemed like minutes a knock was heard on the door and Coups walked in holding sheets of application forms. He wasn't even looking up from the list.

C: Ji I told you this would happen. You're too scary for anyone to apply for a duet with. Had it been Minghao people would've lined up ! What do I do now ?
He looked up finally to meet 4 pair of eyes. Two confused yet curious looking and two that looked like he was about to be killed. He realised his mistake. He was nearly killed when he slipped Woozi's real name in front of Joshua and Minghao, but this time it's a junior. He prayed that Soonyoung didn't catch the nickname.

H: Oh! Coups hyung! Is the application form timing over? (Looking at his watch and realising he spent over an hour looking at things in Woozi's room) Waaaaaaaa! It's been that long ? We didn't even discuss a thing yet.

C: ohh yes! What were you guys doing ? Are you by chance interested in the duet ? You must be since you're here. Woozi won't let anyone in here for no reason !

H: Ohh! Hyung was just giving me a mini tour of his studio since I was really curious about it ! We haven't discussed about the duet yet!  I didn't even realise it had been that long!!

C: A mini tour? (Was about to laugh but looked at Woozi's murderous expression and decided to shut up) Well anyway that's one problem solved! I'll write your name down ! It's final ! Thanks a lot I'll leave you two to your mini tour !
He left so quickly people might think he was participating in a race. Hoshi was feeling anxious again. He was trapped in the duet but he wasn't against it. He was sad because of what Coups said.
Woozi hyung is not at all scary, well maybe a little but aren't seniors supposed to be like that?. Why would no one want to do a duet with him. Thoughts engulfed Soonyoung as he took a deep breath and made up his mind for the duo.

H: We should actually discuss the duet now hyung. I'm glad I can perform with and learn from you.
As he said that he took out his phone and texted the GC that everything was alright and that he'll be back soon. Woozi sat down on his chair meanwhile and switched his desktop on.

W: alright let's get to work!
