Drabble Series | Bangtan |
A/N: lapselock, unbeta'd! this is like a "drabble series" where i'll write random drabbles but all placed in the same universe. (im attempting this while doing the every otp bangtan drabbles......laughs and cries. what am i doing)
as a trainee, namjoon has full access to a recording studio at all times, whenever he wants. it could be late night or just randomly after a practice, but it's there and usually free and it's amazing. namjoon loves it and bothers donghyuk everyday with trying out new beats and trying to make random songs that won't ever see the light of day. he's expecting to do that today actually, looked forward to it the whole day, but when he walks into the studio there's two backs facing him. it's not that weird, sometimes donghyuk brings one of his friends in or something. just, this guy, he's got ears. like. cat ears. namjoon pauses still holding onto the door.
donghyuk turns first, then smiles when he sees namjoon, pointing to an abandoned chair in the corner. the other guy turns upon noticing donghyuk did and...namjoon's never seen him before ever. it's not like there are that many trainees and this one (cat ears) namjoon would definitely remember. the guy gives a little wave as he chomps down on the noodles from the tray in his lap.
"oh, you're finally here, huh? i got you food, but," donghyuk points over, "this hyung already ate it."
"what do you mean 'this hyung?'" the guy shoves at donghyuk, then offers a small sheepish smile to namjoon. "sorry, but it's not like donghyuk tried to stop me either."
"it's," namjoon pauses, "it's fine."
the guy shrugs, "my name's hunchul by the way. donghyuk invited me."
"uhm. hey."
"i can buy you food if you're hungry." he offers. namjoon guesses he is acting a bit strange and hunchul probably assumes he was looking forward to the food or something. he actually didn't even know donghyuk had bought him any.
"that's-" namjoon starts. he thinks about explaining his hesitance, but anything he comes up with sounds rude. "that's okay. really, i'm fine."
"pull up the chair, c'mon," donghyuk says. then, they both turn around as namjoon rolls the chair over to donghyuk's other side. he starts to explain what he's done so far and that hunchul's a kind of new trainee who's a rapper and asked to help. namjoon's not really listening to the specifics because hunchul's ears are moving and twitching and-
donghyuk snorts, "yes, namjoon. hunchul has cat ears."
namjoon blinks, then glares at donghyuk. trust donghyuk to always know what he's thinking. also, that he'll bring it up in a way that makes namjoon feel awkward.
"yeah, i see that," namjoon snaps and he's about to say sorry, but hunchul's smirking at him and his face feels a little hot.
"am i your first?"
namjoon blinks at him, "what?"
hunchul's grin is even like a cat, sharp teeth, crinkled, mischievous eyes, "like you've never seen a hybrid before me?"
"not...up close, no." as much as one would imagine that growing up in seoul namjoon would have seen a hybrid animal; he hasn't. cities have a lot of noise and smog, stuff people with above average hearing and smell wouldn't want to be around if they didn't have to. but, it's not like he hasn't seen any ever. just, never talked to one, sat down next to one, been so close to see ears twitch.
hunchul grabs at his hand, pushing donghyuk back in his chair, "there."
namjoon looks down at it before looking back up at him, "what?"
"i'm also the first hybrid you've ever touched, right? isn't this exciting?"
and now, for sure, namjoon's blushing as he takes his hand back and mutters a small whatever. hunchul's laugh doesn't help.
"hyung, shut up and let's work." donghyuk scolds, but namjoon can see his grin from the side and he kicks him under the studio-board.
---
unlike namjoon, hunchul has to dorm under big hit since he doesn't live in seoul. this means he knows a lot more about the area then namjoon does. so, after weeks of hunchul talking to namjoon about it, they're finally eating at some hole in the wall restaurant that is supposed to be amazing ('best restaurant i've found so far' hunchul had said), but it's not really.
besides the insides looking like it needed a makeover two years ago, it's loud and the food's just okay and the people inside are kind of iffy. not really the typical "best restaurant," but it strangely reminds namjoon of hunchul. probably the loud part.
the waiter's friendly though, even to namjoon who she doesn't know at all. she teases hunchul, but make sure to give them extra food because she claims they're growing boys who need as much food as they can get. and the food itself isn't spectacular, but it's familiar somehow, like he's already been here a bunch of times.
"it's good right, huh?" hunchul grins, nudging at namjoon's side.
namjoon shrugs, "yeah." and hunchul's grin widens before he goes back to his food. he's definitely happy, has been all day. something namjoon learned about hunchul is his ears twitch when he's happy or excited, a kind of tell, and right now they're pratically vibrating.
hunchul glances over, "what?" it's not that namjoon was staring, it's just that hunchul happened to notice him in that exact second he looked over. "is something in my hair?"
"uh, yeah."
"then, get it out." hunchul almost headbutts him when he leans his head towards him. "mind the ears." right on cue, they twitch and hunchul snickers when namjoon jolts a bit.
"i'll pull them off," he frowns, then simply pats at hunchul's perfectly fine hair like he's dusting something off. hunchul doesn't move his head though, actually moves closer, so namjoon sighs and ruffles at his hair in the way hunchul always does to him. it's supposed to be annoying, make him back off and go back to his food, but hunchul scoots closer and lays his head on namjoon's shoulder.
"hyung?" namjoon starts.
"do it again," hunchul says, bumping namjoon's cheek with his head, "it feels nice, let hyung rest."
"o...kay." it's not that weird, he's learned that hunchul's kind of touchy and over-friendly. he's just a little stunned because hunchul wants him to, basically, pet him. he does though, scratches between hunchul's ears and watches as he relaxes, sighs, hums. it's cute.

"hyung. if you don't start cleaning up after yourself, i'm going to kick you out." donghyuk spins in the chair to stare over at hunchul, munching on chips on the couch.
hunchul blinks twice. "what?"
"you're shedding."
"no, i'm not."
namjoon looks over at hunchul, then quickly runs a hand through his hair. a lot of hair comes out and namjoon even shows off the hair covering his hands. hunchul glares at him.
"okay, but." hunchul starts, "i can't really control that. it's hot. i shed."
"it's everywhere," donghyuk huffs, then spins back to face the recording booth. "someone's bound to be allergic."
(as soon as it's finally hot for more than two days in a row, allergy season officially kicks in. and namjoon finds out, being mildly allergic to regular cats is the same as being mildly allergic to cat-hybrids. it takes about four days of namjoon sneezing and sniffling before the recording room starts to look cleaner.
"you should have just done this from the start hyung." namjoon says.
"maybe big hit got a cleaner," hunchul replies.
namjoon grins and scratches at hunchul's head, "cute." and hunchul stares at him, frowning until namjoon moves his hand. then, hunchul leans his hair into namjoon's face, smiling when he sneezes.)
