to op: i'm sorry this is more hoya and sunggyu than hoya/sunggyu and falling in love. i hope you don't mind this, though ( ... )

"...It's SM Entertainment," Sunggyu says, bringing his hands to cover his face and Hyojung's laugh is so loud it echos in the small storage room ( ... )

Hoya returns to the restaurant more than a year later, his latest audition a bust. He sits down alone in a table at the corner and orders a soup and two bottles of soju. His waitress is a pretty girl with her hair in a loose bun. "Is that all ( ... )

absolutely don't mind <3 i actually enjoyed this 'dualism' very much, as you named it. i rly liked to read how each other faced the auditions in their own way. last line is wonderful, btw. thank you anon!

Re: op anonymous June 30 2013, 10:13:22 UTC

i'm glad you like this, op!! i really liked working with your prompt, especially since sunggyu/hoya are such a rarepair

this is so perfect omfg i screamed when i realized hoya was going to a barbecue restaurant at first. i love your bit about the hands. i'm not op but i didn't even need the falling in love because i was so invested in their separate paths and anticipating the moment they crossed again. the part about the parallel auditions was just heartbreaking. thank you so much for this thank you

i'm so glad you liked the barbecue scene because that was the scene i wanted to build this short piece from - and my favourite part to write. thanks for reading!

They meet through a mutual acquaintance, not a mutual friend because Howon is still too much of a stranger to Seoul to really have friends there and Sungkyu…Sungkyu does not make friends well. (Howon understands why within twenty minutes of meeting him. Sungkyu first comes off as distant and awkward, once that passes he comes off as rude. Whatever, he’s not really in a position to comment on someone else’s social grace.) They don’t get along exactly but they don’t not get along either, they’re both desperate enough for a roommate that anything beyond that and the ability to pay half the rent doesn’t really matter, so they end up living together ( ... )

Six months after moving to Seoul he manages to land a job at a dance studio. It’s not what he hopes for, it’s not what he’s chasing after, not even close to his dream-but it’s the only thing he’s gotten since coming to Seoul and it’s better than nothing. It’s something.

Dongwoo (who shares his taste in music, who chases after the same dream, a friend) declares it reason enough to celebrate, so they end up at a tiny little restaurant two stops away from Howon’s apartment. They run into Sungkyu there.

They don’t greet each other (not exactly, Sungkyu greets him as part of the staff and Howon doesn’t respond) but they stare at each other for longer than polite before Sungkyu looks away and smiles flatly as he shows them to a table. He eats and chats with Dongwoo, barely paying attention to Sungkyu, but a few times Howon looks over and Sungkyu meets his stare evenly for a brief second before returning to his work.

(Sungkyu’s embarrassed and annoyed, Howon gets the sense. It doesn’t really make sense because there’s nothing ( ... )

He doesn’t have the time or inclination to worry about someone else. His jobs pay well enough that he’s able to save up some money, and at the very least his job at the studio gives him plenty of opportunity to practice and network-- but he’s not exactly swimming in excess (money, time, patience). He should just concern himself with his own things, he shouldn’t bother with others that have little to do with him ( ... )

There aren’t any drastic changes but Sungkyu no longer locks his door all the time (Howon knows because he doesn’t hear that click after he hears the door fall shut), and occasionally he eats in the kitchen instead of in his own room. They nod at each other when they pass through, rather than averting their gaze ( ... )

His birthday passes for the first time since he left Busan, he gets a brief phone call from his mother and a few texts from a few of his friends. This lifestyle (chasing after his dream, chasing after what he wants more than anything else) is incredibly lonely. There are too many disappointments and failures for Howon to really want to celebrate, but it feels lonely still ( ... )

“I have an audition tomorrow.”

Sungkyu’s smiling and Howon grins widely in return. “Good luck, hyung,” he says as he pulls Sungkyu into a tight hug.

Sungkyu passes the audition, it’s only the first round but it’s something. Howon buys drinks and snacks that they share sprawled on Howon’s bed. They talk, but Howon’s distracted by the innocent glee that seems to shine through in everything Sungkyu says.

“Congratulations,” Howon says (again, he doesn’t know how many times he’s said it) in a sleepy, tired voice. He’s smiling, but he doesn’t think he’s stopped smiling all night anyways.

“It’s just round one,” is what Sungkyu says but he’s smiling too, smiling as he fiddles with the wrinkles in the bed sheet.

“It’s something,” Howon insists.

(Eventually they fall asleep together in Howon’s bed. He wakes up and finds that somehow he’s holding Sungkyu’s hand in the morning. He closes his eyes and doesn’t let go.)

sorry it doesn't really...go very far. also sorry that I suck at splitting up my fills.
