They had kissed. Not on the cheek, not a friendly exchanged forehead kiss, but lip to lip. Completely breaking bro code. Jay had initiated it, calling him cute before leaning in, to press his pretty lips onto Jungwon's. It happened so quick that Jungwon had no time to process whatever had just happened. So quick in fact that Jay muttered a series of sorry's looking down the whole time, getting up and leaving the younger alone with his kerfuffle of emotions.

And that was the last time Jay had spoken to him, or looked at him and frankly acknowledged his existence. Jungwon wasn't disgusted like he thought Jay was thinking, nor did he wish for it to be a mistake that Jay had not really meant.

I mean the dude was hot, the rest of the internet and the three billion Jay edits, Jungwon had watched on his private Tiktok proved that the dude was a fine specimen. The dark hair that fell past his eyebrows, his sharp jawline that made everyone else's inferior, and not to mention the insane amount of charisma he possessed.

The way he knew every little thing about his members, the way he would give up what he wanted just to see someone else smile, the way he could charm anyone in a matter of seconds and the way he looked right now, his lips pouted as the makeup artist used her finger to apply lip balm onto his rosy lips. The makeup artist struggled to contain her laughter, seeing his funny expression and giving in, as Jay broke out into laughter, bowing a quick "Thank you" before getting up and leaving his seat.

Jungwon tried to ignore the unpleasant feeling growing in his stomach, he had thought that the ache had come from nerves alone but it seemed like that the interaction he had just witnessed seemed to irritate it more. Maybe that kiss really was an accident, Jay was charming with everyone not just him. Even Jay's interaction with the makeup artist just now, showed how easily this man could make someone weak in the knees. What had happened one week ago probably meant nothing to Jay.

Jay turned his gaze away from his reflection in the mirror to Jungwon who quickly looked down, trying to play it off as though he had not just been staring at Jay this entire time. Jungwon pretended to fix up his hair in his own mirror, avoiding the reflection of the undeniably handsome boy who had walked over to his chair.

"Jungwon, could I talk to you outside for a bit" Jay announced, his hands in his pockets, sharing the first direct sentence he had spoken to Jungwon in the last 7 days. Jungwon was annoyed. How do you go from spending every minute together to succumbing to such a childish act of ignoring?

Mumbling a nonchalant "Hmm, yes", Jungwon got up and followed Jay to the door. He was mad at the older boy, but he couldn't deny just how good he looked at that given moment. He just wished whatever had happened between them could just be resolved and they could go back to their childish banters and exchange of friendly physical gestures. Jungwon wasn't a fan of strong perfumes since they made him feel dizzy but he couldn't deny just much he had missed this particular scent, realising just how much he missed being enveloped in Jay's arms.

Jay looked back at him and asked him to go into the caretaker room opposite the hallway.

"Why did you call me into this cramped space, our makeup and outfits are going to get ruined"

"I was looking for a private place so we could talk, and you have been avoiding me all day, so I felt guilty asking you to come with me earlier"

Jay had closed the door now, the two boys were basically pressed against each other, with a dim light illuminating the cramped space that was surrounded by tall shelves.

"Okay, tell me what you wanted to tell me, we have to get back quickly for rehearsal " Jungwon said as he leaned back, attempting to create the tiniest amount of space between them.
