[FIC] Attention Seeker
Title: Attention Seeker
Fandom: Beast
Pairing: Kikwang/Yoseob; Doojoon/Yooseob (Woooooowww~!!)
Genre: Angst at the beginning, Romance
Length: One Shot
Summary: Kikwang centric. Kikwang is contemplating his feeling and envy towards Yoseob since their school days. Is it really envy? Or it involves something more?
I watched from the corner of my eyes as you shine under the spot light while receiving attention from everybody in the studio. Your copy dancing moves are incorrect, however that did not kill your aura as a star. Scratch that. As a loveable idol.
Well, it is inevitable. You had outshined everyone since long time ago.
That includes me.
I realize one of the MC called out to me, to perform the dance again. I smiled and played along.
Well, this is now or never.
***
I watched your reaction again as the cheers become louder after I showed my abs.
Somehow, you still managed to look cute despite looking down/beaten/jealous at the same time. It’s your specialty. I can never be like that.
Do you know that with that simple attitude of yours, you just had everybody’s attention?
Do you know that without trying so hard, without the coolest dance move or anything, you just claimed a special spot in everyone’s hearts?
And that includes me.
I guess, that spot in my heart still belongs to you.
Even after years.
***
“Yah, stop recording me!” Despite the loud noise, I heard your playful voice from the back of the class. It makes me turn my head and start looking.
You are pointing at someone and pouting so cute.
“Yah, how can I hold myself, Seob? You look so cute sleeping like that!”
You pout again and the other starts snicker at your antics.
How I wish I was the person receiving that cute pout from you.
***
“Ah, Kwangie!” You yelled from behind me, and running to catch up to me, “Where are you heading?” You asked, curiously.
“Training,” I said with a smile.
“Ah, really? Today?”
“Yeah, they told me to come again today.”
“Woah, they are so harsh. Don’t they know that today is a valentine day? Just skip it; let’s go to a karaoke place!”
Despite my poker face, it is really a hard decision for me to make. Especially, with your cute stare and ‘come on, come on’ plea.
“Well, I guess...” However whatever it is coming from my mouth is cut short.
“Yoseob, come on! The girls are all waiting for you!” one of your hanging out buddies yelling from afar.
“Hold on! Kwang~”
“I’ll go training. You just go ahead.” I smile curtly and turn around.
***
You are so popular.
How can I have all of your attention just for myself?
***
I train hard.
Really, really hard.
I even asked you to audition in the same company, come to think of it; it is just an alibi so we can spend more time together.
Can’t you see?
I know I’m asking too much. Being your friend, is wonderful enough already. But I can’t help but craving more from you.
I don’t want to be treated just as the same as the other.
***
Finally.
Finally, that time is come!
I’m going to debut! As a solo singer and dancer.
AJ.
AJ.
AJ, AJ, AJ.
Although it sound so common, I don’t mind, I don’t mind at all.
I break the news to you. You smiled and congratulate me.
You call me the star! Oh wow!
Yes! Kikwang, the Ace Junior!
This is your time to gain all his attention.
Seobie, watch me! I’m your star.
However, what is that I saw in your eyes, Seobie?
***
Seob, since our debut and even now, why do I feel you slowly slipping away from me?
Why aren’t you there with me after they announce that my solo career had ended?
I thought my world is over, where are you, Seobie?
I’m glad, that my career is not over yet.
I’m glad that at least, I have you as a band mate.
But, where are you Seobie?
Do you have a new best friend?
***
Deep, deep in my heart. I feel sorry for stealing your stage. Stealing your spotlight.
But, I want it.
I want those eyes to look at me, only me.
Somewhere along the road to achieve your attention.
I got carried away and I even managed to snatch other’s attention.
Somehow, it makes you pissed, because of me.
But, as long as I have your attention.
I’m willing to do it.

“Lee Kikwang!!” I heard someone calling my name, waking me from my stupor.
“Oh, Myeung Soo-shi,” I bowed at him. He is still a senior, despite the entire cozy act in the studio.
“That was really great!!” he said while shaking my hand. “Thank you,” I answered.
“Where are you heading after this?” He asked.
“Oh, the dorm. I’m waiting for Yoseob,” I answered politely.
“Oh, Yoseob, be careful he might still feel jealous,” he said jokingly.
I laughed as he walked away.
“I don’t feel jealous,”
“Wahh!” I yelled, “Seob! Why are you talking from my behind me suddenly like that?” I turned around to find Yoseob staring at me.
He ignored my question and start walking towards the door. As soon as I catch up with him, I saw him pouting.
He didn’t say another word, even as we get into the van.
After 10 minutes of silence in the van, he finally speaks up.
“Why is everybody always thinking I’m jealous of you? It was just an act. It is a variety show, anyway,”
“You don’t and that’s good,” I ruffled his hair, although sometimes I do, in a different way and for a different purpose, I add in my mind.
He watched me with this look, and my heart just skipped a beat. “What?” I asked him, to cover up the stupid feeling that raising.
“Well, maybe sometimes I do,” he mumbled. “But not as much as when you’re still AJ.”
“You do?”
“Well, I think I had passed that stage. But, somehow... Just like the happenings back in the studio, in which everyone adore and compliments you. I can’t help but feel a little jealous towards you,” he mumbled the last few words and prefer to watch outside the van.
Cute...
How can someone be angry, when the confession is made like that?
“Yah, Yang Yoseob!” I hug him from behind and ruffled his hair.
“Ah, sorry! Sorry Kwangie, I said it is sometimes!” he yelled in shock.
“It is fine!” I said, “Even sometimes I do feel the same,” I snuggled closer to his ear and whispered, “It’s just normal right?”
“Really? Even the great Kikwang feel jealous too? Towards who?” He breaks away from my hug and watch me with curious eyes.
“Many people?”
“Who? Say!”
“Hmm... you...” I said, uncertain.
“Aishh... Liar!”
“No, I don’t,”
“When, then?”
Just like that, we spent the rest of the trip back to the dorm, telling each other story.
Well, at least after several years, now I clearly know that what I feel for him is not that kind of jealous anymore, but another type of jealousy.
***
“We’re home!!” My cute Seobie yelled, even before I opened the door. He runs inside after I opened it.
“We’re back,” I said.
“Oh, my Seobie is back! How are you? Are you tired?”
I heard that familiar voice and irked instantly. I looked at the source of the sound and raised my eyebrow.
Doojoon is hugging Yoseob, until it seems that Seobie cannot breathe.
After Yoseob yelling and panting, Doojoon finally decided to let go and massage his back, which to my great dismay, greatly appreciated by Yoseob.
“Hm? What did you just say? The evil Kikwang is stealing your show?”
Yoseob nodding cutely, “Awww, poor Seobie, don’t worry it’s just one episode,” Doojoon proceed to hug Yoseob from behind while kissing the top of his head.
AISSSHHH!! That ajushi! Go away from my Seobie.
As if sensing my anger and jealousy, that Yoon Doojoon looked at me instantly and smirked.
Ah, Yang Yoseob!
It seems the way to win your attention is still far away!

Important AN:
- No checking, sorry for the bad grammar and/or typo.
- Forgot the sequence of events. Is it abs showing first or copy dance first? Anyway, you understand what I meant, no need for re-checking.
- I’m new to beast fandom. HeIl, don’t even know, if Kikwang calls Yoseob with hyung or not. Made this, with minimum facts I found on the internet. Hahaha... So, it’s clear that I still didn’t have any OTP in Beast. This story is just experimental. Hell this is my first story involving pairing other than Yunjae.
The not so important AN: Correct me, if I’m wrong, but I think that Yoseob is an attention seeker, he goes all fan service vending machine to the other members, rite?
Don’t get me wrong, he is my favourite so far. Hehehe, Yoseob hwaiting!
Perhaps, any kind person out there is willing to provide me facts of those lovely couple?
Yeah, this is a comeback fic and... I'll finish my Yunjae promise!!
