Jungwon's expression had softened but his eyes were painted in a sad look that made Jay's heartache, he hated seeing Jungwon upset, and worst yet he was the reason for it this time.
"The last one week have been anything but normal, Hyung".
Jay's heart eased a little, hearing the word that Jungwon had not called him in so long.
"You didn't look my way, hold me, acknowledge me, you didn't even talk to me, imagine how I felt having something so big happen to me and not even having a chance to talk to the only person I wanted to talk to about it, this one week is always so stressful for all of us, and you left me stranded all alone, you made me feel like I did something wrong"
Without a second thought, Jay embraced the boy in his arms resting his head on his shoulder muttering "Sorry" over and over again. Jungwon reciprocated the embrace wrapping his arms around the muscular boy who he had missed so much, his warmth, his scent and the butterflies that danced in his stomach, he was so glad it was all over now.
All of a sudden Jay pushed the boy back detaching his arms from him, Jungwon was very confused as to how he could decipher the range of emotions that Jay was making him feel.
"So, you didn't hate it?"
"What are you talking about?"
"This".
And without a second left to waste, Jay pulls Jungwon in, pressing his lips onto Jungwon's. The sweet taste of vanilla flavoured lip balm meets Jungwon's mouth and the butterflies burst forth within his stomach. All too quickly, once again just like last Friday night Jay pulls away. He scans the youngers face, trying to read expression of the big-doe eyed boy who looked up at him.
"Shit, wait did you not like that, fuc-"
This time, Jungwon is the one to initiate the kiss, pulling his hyung's face toward his, attempting to drown the thumping of his accelerating heartbeat and his hyung's nervous rambles. His fingers thread through Jay's dark locks, whose hands have made their way to Jungwon's nape pulling him in closer. Their lips move in sync as Jay raises Jungwon's chin and suckles on his sweet lips, drawing in all the emotions he has bottled up over the last two years.
"Holy shit", Jay breathes out, as they pull away, eyeing Jungwon's swollen pink lips that glisten underneath the dim light.
"Holy fuck, you are so pretty", Jay says as he pecks Jungwon again, this time his hands making their way around Jungwon's waist. Pulling him in again.
Jungwon stops Jay, pressing his hand to Jay's mouth, which the boy pecks trying not to miss any opportunity to shower the other with affection. Jungwon whispers to him that he can hear someone outside.
Clear as day, Jake can be heard talking to the staff member in English. A conversation about Australian weather or something.
Despite the growing stress of the situation and avoiding any possibility of being caught, Jay takes the opportunity to take advantage of Jungwon's vulnerable state and presses a series of butterfly kisses alone Jungwon's jaw. Covering his own mouth with his hands, Jay makes his way down his jaw to his neck where there is no more skin exposed left to kiss.
Knowing that Jungwon's eyes are closed trying to contain the noises Jay wishes he could hear, Jay attempts to tease him more and pulls apart the collar restricting him access. Unfortunately, forgetting just how strong his grip is , the button tears off.
Both the boys turn around to see the metal button flying into the air. Both of them praying that it doesn't make a noise that anyone outside can hear.
Ting! Pulling away from each other, realising that they might get caught. Jungwon presses his ear to the door, hearing that there are steps approaching closer to the door. Jungwon signals Jay to the door, gesturing to him to fix his own hair, at a poor attempt to disguise what they were doing. Jay pulls in closer, pressing one last kiss that earns him a glare from Jungwon who is obviously very afraid as to whether they will get caught.
Jay brings his thumb to Jungwon's mouth wiping away the vanilla pink lip balm kisses that he has planted all over the boys face and neck, feeling his heart yearn over the missed opportunity, that he couldn't kiss Jungwon's now exposed collarbone.
Bracing for impact, they fix their posture and stand an appropriate distance from each other as much as they could in that tight space.
They hear a manager's voice call out for Jake and asking whether Jay and Jungwon had made it back. Jake's footsteps get quieter as they realise that he has been called back into the dressing room.
Releasing the breath that they had been holding for so long, they look back at each other, realising just how close they were to getting caught.
Trying to look inconspicuous. Jay heads out first with his messy hair and an unbelievable smitten look painted across his face. Jungwon stays inside the closet trying to contain the exhilaration that is still coarsing through his veins. Bringing his phone up to his face to see if he can fix his hair which is now in a tuffled mess. He looks down and touches his swollen lips that still taste like vanilla.
Jungwon walks back into the room, trying to look as nonchalant as possible.
He meets the eyes of all his bandmates, who stare back with what Jungwon feels is an accusative stare, immediately bombarding him with questions
"Where were you?" Heeseung announces, eyeing the leader up and down for signs to answer why Jungwon had disappeared for the last 20 minutes.
"I had uh- a toilet emergency", Jungwon's voice increasing in volume as he reached the end of his sentence feeling proud over his impromptu excuse, he looks up at Jay who holds up a sly thumbs-up assuring him that he sounds believable.
"Damn, dude take better care of your bowels", Ni-ki chimes in with a smirk on his face, before receiving a shove from Sunoo who mutters "Yuck".
"Jungwon, what happened to your button?", asks Jake walking up to Jungwon and pointing at the ripped threads that lay atop his shirt. Feeling nervous, especially realising the fact that it was Jake, who had nearly caught him and Jay during their risky rendezvous.
Trying to contain the red that was growing on his ears, he mutters "I was feeling stuffy, stop asking so many questions" collectively answering his inquisitive bandmates, before turning away and walking back to his chair.
After everyone's curiosity has died down and everyone had gone back to what they were doing, Jay leans over and whispers into Jungwon's ear, "You're right though I did feel pretty stuffy"
