Summary: Hyunseung tries to explain that hickey on his neck
They’re crowding around Jiyong-hyung’s laptop; watching clips on youtube from their encore concert. There’s already fancams of their little ‘Abs Party’ as their fans had so quickly dubbed it. The videos had gone up almost instantly after the concert, far quicker than any of them expected. They all knew that Dongwoon’s new physical prowess was a large part of it. Now Dongjun isn’t the only muscular maknae to break the image.
They’re just about to bring up a video of Yoseob lifting his shirt when Kikwang makes a strangled little noise in the back of his throat and clamps a hand onto Hyunseung’s shoulder. ‘Hyung’ He tugs the slender man closer, almost pressing his face to the other’s neck. ‘Is that a hick-hickey?’ His voice is quiet against the loud murmuring of the other boys but a silence descends on them so quickly that Kikwang might as well have shouted.
Yoseob’s eyes light up with a mischievous glint and behind him their maknae and leader look curious. Dongwoon creeps closer to get a better look. None of them notice the sudden flush that stains Junhyung’s puffy cheeks. ‘Your face is redder than Dongwoo-sshi’s hair’ Murmurs Jiyong though he takes the opportunity to steal back his laptop. ‘You’re right!’ Chirps Kikwang and Yoseob at the same time.
Hyunseung wants the ground to swallow him up…
Or to at least be able to hide behind Junhyung. That bastard.
‘It’s not’ Starts Hyunseung, voice cracking. He’s fixed with four unbelieving stares and claps a hand to his throat. ‘What it looks like’ He finishes lamely. He tries to catch Junhyung’s eye over Doojoon’s shoulder. How’s he going to explain this one? ‘Who did it, Hyung? Tell us’ Yoseob grabs his free hand, rubs the back of it with his thumb and stares up at him with those big puppy-dog eyes. No. I won’t fall for it. Hyunseung tries to look away but soon Dongwoon and Kikwang are resting a head on either of the visual maknae’s shoulders and he’s greeted by three pouting boys. Curse the maknae line.
He catches Junhyung’s eyes moments later. Everyone is staring at him now. Oh god. Junhyung offers him a smile. Hyunseung’s never been so happy to see him smile as he is now. The rappers lips start moving and Hyunseung glances away to make sure they are all still staring at him. Repeat after me. Hyunseung can do this.
‘You s-see, I dreamt I was a v-vampire…’
Junhyung slaps his own forehead.
‘and I bit myself’
There’s a long pause for a moment, uncomfortable and tense. Hyunseung’s heart gives several large thumps and he wonders if the others can hear it? Maybe the rushing of blood through his veins is too loud for them to hear anything. Perhaps they didn’t hear his confession at all. Yoseob laughs first, followed almost simultaneously by the other four men. Junhyung laughs along, covers his smile with a fist because for him this is genuinely funny. He’s not the one with a hickey on his neck like a shamed teen who’s been caught by their parents. ‘So really’ Doojoon is the first to stop laughing. Sort of. He’s still giggling. ‘Who was it really?
