Soongyu - For All To See

:: Always ::

[...]
You did not just say that!

[Mingyu]
Are you blushing right now? You
are, aren't you?

[...]
Aish, behave!

[Mingyu]
But I like seeing you flustered.

[...]
We're in two different cars, you
can't see me, Mingyu-ah

[Mingyu]
Send me a picture?

[...]
No!

[Mingyu]
Why not??

[...]
That's just so random, people
might ask who I'm sending it to?

[Mingyu]
Oh no! Sending a picture to
another member, the outrage!

[...]
Now I definitely won't thank
to your sarcasm.

[Mingyu]
Hyuuung!

[...]
I'm turning my phone off.

[Mingyu]
If you do that, I'll just have to
punish you later...

[...]
Why are you being like this??

[Mingyu]
Because I like reminding you
that you're mine and only I can
touch you and make you feel
the way you're feeling right this
moment.

[...]
Someone's confident.

[Mingyu]
You love it!

[...]
Maybe...

[Mingyu]
Exactly. Don't think about me
too much, hyung. You can have
me later.

   With that their texting ceased and Soonyoung had to spend the remaining time in the car looking out the window away from the other performance team members, all too aware he must look like a ripe tomato at this moment in time.
   Mingyu enjoyed teasing Soonyoung at the best of times, but his more dominant teasing was still quite a new thing and boy did it arouse Soonyoung no end. He didn't realise how dominant Mingyu could be and Soonyoung would have never of guessed he'd love it so much; but alas, the younger male managed to bring out the submissive side in Soonyoung so easily.

   Time passed and as they approached the next venue for their schedule, Soonyoung felt his phone vibrate once more, half expecting it to be Mingyu again but was surprised to see it was his best friend instead.

[Wonwoo]
Soonyoung-ah, is it alright
if we talk later on? I've got
something I want to ask you
about.

[...]
Sure thing, what's up?

[Wonwoo]
I won't go into much detail now,
but it's about this...

[Wonwoo]
-sent attachment

   Soonyoung raised an eyebrow and clicked on the attachment link Wonwoo had texted him and his face drained of all colour.
   It was a blurry picture posted on some sort of fansite, but Soonyoung knew this scene. He knew it all too well...

   The whole picture was of a cute but random couple posing for a selfie, but in the back right corner it allowed a glimpse behind some of the market stalls.
   It just so happened to capture the moment a taller male had a smaller male pinned up against a brick wall although the identities of the people in the picture were extremely hard to work out. Even in a second image which had zoomed in to try and focus on who the men were couldn't identify them.

   Or so Soonyoung thought...

   Soonyoung could still feel his stomach drop. Because he knew exactly who those people were. It was himself and Mingyu.

   It was the day they'd ran away from those fans who wouldn't leave them alone, back before Mingyu confessed. Mingyu had pulled them behind a market stall in an area where stock was being kept in cardboard boxes, backing right onto the side of a building. They thought they'd been hidden away from the girls who followed them and they'd not noticed anyone watching them enter that enclosed area. But here Soonyoung now sat, staring at a picture of the moment Mingyu had almost kissed him.

   Gulping once more, Soonyoung scrolled down away from the picture and read some of the comments. Most of them guessing the taller male was Mingyu but most people were trying to work out who the 'small guy' was - as the comments so politely put it.
   Some people had guessed 'Hoshi' but many were arguing back saying it was Wonwoo. Some even suggested Seungkwan.

   Other fans argued about the height of members saying it could only be 'Hoshi', whilst more people added in comments saying it was 'The8'.
   No one could seem to settle on an answer but Soonyoung knew better than to be relieved.

   It was the last comment, also being the most liked comment, that made Soonyoung fill with dread. It was pictures of the moment Mingyu and Soonyoung had bolted from the clothes shop.
   The fans who had followed them got pictures of them from the side and then from behind when they'd chased after them. The comment beneath the images mentioned how they'd lost sight of Mingyu and Hoshi when they'd entered the market. However the pictures they posted, compared to the blurry picture were evidence enough.

   They were wearing the same clothing in each of the pictures after all. No matter how blurry the picture was, anyone could tell it was both Mingyu and Soonyoung stood against that wall in that intimate position, all thanks to their clothing.

   Soonyoung jumped slightly at the vibration of his phone, indicating another text message - so he opened up his conversation with Wonwoo once more.

[Wonwoo]
No one else seems to know
yet. But I've seen this picture
along with the others going
around social media under
our names.

[Wonwoo]
Just thought you should know.
So let's talk later, ok?

   Soonyoung could feel his panic rising as he quickly began to search through social media under the tags of their names and sure enough, the pictures were circulating. It had taken a while for the images to come about surprisingly, since this was something that had happened ages ago now. 
   But regardless, Soonyoung couldn't deny these images... The evidence was there and undeniable. This was it, no way out now. 

   Their time of secrecy was up...
