Don't let go | A dosuk fanfiction

'2'

Hyunsuk: doyoung-ah.

Doyoung: yes, hyung?

Hyunsuk smiled at doyoung's precious voice.

Hyunsuk: while mashiho is still getting our snacks, do you want to try and polish the moves we have come up with? Maybe add a few details and sharpen it?

Doyoung put his phone down, completely invested in what hyunsuk suggested.

Doyoung: that's a good idea, hyung!

Their common interest in dancing exceeded the other members'. This was one of the reasons they were so close.

Doyoung and hyunsuk got up and got to dancing.

Hyunsuk: ah see! Your arms aren't a perfect 90 degrees.

Doyoung: oh- my bad. I need more practice.

Hyunsuk: let me give you a tip.

Hyunsuk came closer to doyoung as he held doyoung's arms from the back and positioned them in a slanting line. He didn't realize he was practically hugging doyoung from the back. His eyesight fell in the direction of the mirror opposing them. He saw doyoung's flustered expression in the reflection. Doyoung had averted his eyes and was blushing. Hard. Hyunsuk realized he was extremely close to doyoung, and what made it more embarrassing was it was just the two of them together, alone. 

Hyunsuk: shit...what do i do now...dumbass hyunsuk. Think before you do random shit next time. 

Hyunsuk felt his own cheeks redden. 

The dance practice room's door suddenly opened as mashiho walked in with a plastic bag. He looked up to see hyunsuk and doyoung in an awkward position. He raised his eyebrow and stood still for what felt like eternity.

Mashiho: s-sorry to interrupt...

He turned around to leave when he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder from the back. He turned to see a surprised hyunsuk.

Hyunsuk: w-what do you mean? haha we weren't doing anything...weird. We were just practicing the moves. I was helping him. I swear!

Doyoung didn't have the courage to look up. He looked at the floor, flustered. Mashi noticed.

Mashiho: s-sure...

Mashiho gave the drinks and they drank silently, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.

Mashiho gulped down his drink.

Mashiho: s-so...thought of anything new?

Hyunsuk: well not exactly. We were just polishing the ones we came up with. 

Mashiho: i-i see...

They finished their snacks and got back to practicing like normal. They continued working hard on the choreography throughout the week, making changes and improving as the days passed by. 

They finished preparing the choreography and now had a schedule for an interview. 

Interviewer: okay so now we will play a game where the members take turns to complain something and appreciate something about another member.

The members whined jokingly. But soon they got started with it. Soon it was jihoon's turn. 

Jihoon: hyunsuk-hyung.

Hyunsuk: oh it's my turn now okay...

Jihoon: yes. I have something to say about hyunsuk hyung. This hyung definitely loves all of us equally and indefinitely but he is also obviously biased towards doyoung. 

Hyunsuk pursed his lips, trying to hide the smile of acknowledgement.

Jihoon: he is always expressing affection towards doyoung and i want to experience it too. 

The members cringe at jihoon's sudden outburst of confession. 

Hyunsuk: oh really? My cute jihoonie feels wronged? Hehe i'm sorry baby~

Hyunsuk rubbed jihoon's chin, adoring him. Jihoon smiled satisfied, while doyoung pouted. He knew hyunsuk loved him more than others but he couldn't help but feel jealous when hyunsuk would interact with others the same way as he interacted with doyoung.

The game continued as normal and it was now yedam and doyoung's turn.

Yedam: i have something to appreciate about doyoung. He is always really cheerful and he is always smiling. I've never seen him sad or upset or any other negative vibes around him. He is always calm and composed and keeps the mental state of the members balanced. I love you for that, doyoung-ie~

He rubbed doyoung's hair affectionately. 

Doyoung: thank you, hyung! I love you too~

Hyunsuk refused to look because he felt his insides heat up. But with jihoon's extremely recent complaint, he didn't want to make it obvious. 

As the week passed by, doyoung couldn't help but notice how hyunsuk had stopped being affectionate towards him. It hurt his heart. He didn't know why. What made it worse was the fact that hyunsuk would still adore the rest of the members, even more now. 

doyoung: is this because of what jihoon-hyung said in that interview...

Doyoung was in the living room, sipping on his pineapple juice while half-lying on the sofa and overthinking about all the possibilities and causes of hyunsuk distancing himself from him, physically. 

Yedam walked in. 

Yedam: don't lie like that! It will affect your neck!

Doyoung: yes, yes hyung. 

Yedam smiled at doyoung's cuteness, although all doyoung did was respond normally. He came towards doyoung.

Yedam: scooch over. I wanna lie down too. 

The couch was enough to fit two people in width. 

Doyoung listened immediately. He moved back a little towards the back support of the sofa, making space for yedam. Yedam came and lied down beside doyoung. Doyoung turned towards the back-support of the sofa and yedam turned towards doyoung's back. They weren't facing each other due to the proximity. 

Yedam flung his arm around doyoung's waist and rubbed his abdomen on top of his sweatshirt. Doyoung smiled as he felt relaxed. 

Yedam: remember, back in our trainee days we would just retire on the dance practice room floors and hug each other, especially when it felt hard. 

Doyoung: how could i forget? it's one of the things that helped me get through tough times. 

Yedam felt touched. That's when hyunsuk walked in. 

Hyunsuk: w-what are you two doing?!
