      JUNSEO CLAIMS TO KNOW MORE —- but, yejun doubts that the younger male knows anything about the situation in hand. it was during their time in the elevator when junseo leaned forward to state that he has suspicion that yejun actually finds him attractive & that he is interested. the vocalist wanted to choke on air & become deceased at that moment, laughter spilling as he found the statement humorous. apparently, his eyes makes it all obvious, & for a moment that scared the older male. was he being too obvious ?? due to these accusations, yejun attempts to be harsher with the opposite idol in order to convince everyone that he detests the male. junseo doesn’t know anything. he refuses to acknowledge the male as he spoke & continued to trail behind; the series of questions having gone unanswered. he’ll pretend that he did not hear. the last vendor, when giving him what he ordered, gave him two sticks of dakkochi —- much to his dismay. he could not eat two alone, & he can only assume that the vendor thought junseo was, indeed, with him. while eating the grilled chicken & vegetables, he kept walking hoping to find anyone else he would recognize, but no one came to view. eventually, he had to admit defeat. turning around all of a sudden, he stops his movement, & he looks into junseo’s eyes while holding the extra dakkochi out. “do you want it ??”

Over the time that Junseo had come to know the older male, he had become used to the barrage of mean and hateful comments that would come his way. Ever since the elevator incident, he had noticed that Yejun had increased the intensity of his harshness and it didn’t take much other than the disapproving looks of those around him to know that people must think he was mad for willingly going back to talk to Yejun over and over again. Sometimes Junseo himself didn’t know what brought him back, as he could easily wash his hands of Yejun and never see him again, but it seemed like stubbornness prevailed. He wasn’t surprised by the lack of response, but he didn’t let it deter him as he trailed behind the other; after all, this kind of treatment was something he had a lot of experience in. What did surprise him, however, was the older boy acknowledging his presence and actually offering him food that he bought. The surprise clouds his thoughts for a moment, and he snaps out of the brain fog quickly once he processes that Yejun had asked him a question. “Yes, thank you,” He replied, reaching out to take the dakkochi before gently blowing on it to cool it down. Once he deemed that it was probably okay to eat, he couldn’t help the content expression on his face as he took a bite. “It’s really good, hyung.”

Out of all of the Mars members, Junseo was probably the hardest one for Yuma to deal with. Not that it was a bad thing, he often thrived on situations where Junseo was involved since their personalities were so different. Despite their differences, Yuma still loved spending time with Junseo away from the other members. “They do not,” he huffed, knowing it was a lie. Their fans often enjoyed it whenever he did something cute, since he was normally the first one to decline. As manly as he wanted to be, Yuma knew that most of the fans called him cute. “I just like doing it when they least expect it, always makes them shocked.” Yuma couldn’t help but laugh because Junseo was so right. “I don’t know, looks can be deceiving.” After living in the dorms together, he knew that the other male didn’t know anything about baking. “They were thinking that the fans love seeing you so just probably stuck you somewhere.”

Most people avoided Junseo, it was a fact that he had accepted a long time ago as his personality was too brash, too rough for most people to handle. He couldn’t be bothered with the expectations of the industry, and what was the point in pretending like everyone in the industry were his friends when he barely knew them in the first place? Hence, it was surprising to Junseo sometimes that someone as gentle and ridiculously kind as Yuma continued to give Junseo more patience and understanding than he deserved, especially since he was sure he had been the cause of many a headache for the leader over the years. “You’re still lying to yourself, huh?” Junseo could never pull off the cuteness that Yuma seemed to exude naturally, even if the other continuously denied the fact over the years. “My grandma said I should smile more often, but I think the resting bitch face is part of my charm.” Crinkling his nose in displeasure, he was pretty sure that Dimensions didn’t put that much thought into the allocation of his events. “Or they hate me and want to watch me suffer by putting me in an event where I have to smile and give out compliments constantly. Another theory is that they forgot I exist, like they always do with Mars, and had to just throw me in any free space there was.”

“Why don’t you learn how to play an instrument? You know, something constructive. Take a few singing lessons or a cooking class, now that would be fun.” He laughed, thinking about Junseo learning different recipes. “We should do that when I have time, I love learning new things to cook.” He didn’t get to do it often while on tour, the downside to hotel life. “Trevor doesn’t let me buy him anything either, though it doesn’t stop me from doing it. No one lets me buy them things, I’m just gonna have to donate all of my money or something.” As much as he complained, Moon knew that Junseo would like his gift regardless of what it was. “Underwear,” he joked. “I’m kidding, a best friend necklace of course. But like a cool one so no one will even know except us.” He knew it was kind of silly, but wanted Junseo to know how much he meant to him. “It cost a lot of money so you better wear it otherwise I’ll post all the horrible photos I have of you as revenge.”

“I do know how to play an instrument, hyung,” Junseo argued back before snorting. “Why would I need singing lessons? My job is to sing. I’m not going to cooking lessons alone either, I’d look like a loner.” He would much rather be enjoying his free time in his room, away from people who might recognise him, but he knew the elder boy was right. Kind of. “You’re such a drama queen,” A roll of the eyes as he spoke, “Use your money to buy yourself something nice, you don’t need to be wasting it on me.” Junseo was not an emotional man by any means; he was not one to tear up easily, and no one really knew what he was feeling behind the veil of anger he wore daily. However, he would admit that the older boy, his best friend, went out of his way to buy something to represent their special bond was touching to him. He didn’t really believe in the idea of soulmates but if the concept were to be true, he was sure that at least platonically Moon was probably his. “Thank you hyung, you didn’t have to,” He replied quietly, before letting out a laugh and gently slapping the other’s arm. “You know I have just as many terrible pictures of you, I’m not afraid. But don’t worry, I’ll wear it. You know I wear everything you buy me.”

  yuma loved his members, unconditionally. they had been through a lot together, and he always wanted to let them know that he was there for them. of course he knew that at some point, he had to stop hovering which moving apart certainly made a difference. while he had a special relationship with each of his members, junseo had always been a bit different. they weren’t as affectionate with each other, but in their own way still managed to form a bond that most didn’t understand. “i don’t know what you’re talking about, i did no such thing.” he laughed softly, never one to admit when he acted cute. “what about you? i’m pretty sure i saw you making a cute heart a few hours ago. always one to please the fans, junseo.” they were sitting in some random area of the festival, fans staring as they walk by. “you having fun yet?”

@fmdjunseo

If there was one member of Mars that Junseo felt at least somewhat apologetic towards, it was Yuma. Not that he would ever voice such an opinion out loud, but he knew it probably wasn’t easy having to not only lead a group but lead a group with Junseo in it. He knew he hadn’t made the other’s life easy, but somehow Yuma had understood his needs, understood that Junseo was someone who needed a bit more distance than most. “Hyung, you know the fans say that you just have to breathe and you’d be cute,” Junseo replied, sipping on his soda that was basically fifty per cent water at this point thanks to the ice melting. “If a heart is what the fans want, then a heart is what the fans will get. Got to keep up that fan service, you know.” Junseo was never one for aegyo, but seeing the smiles on his fan’s faces was more than enough reason to indulge in it a little. “I had to judge a pastry competition, hyung. Do I look like I know anything about pastry? What the hell were Dimensions thinking?”

fmdyejun:

      HE DOES NOT LISTEN —- not regarding the deaf male, but the youngest who constantly pesters the vocalist of ORIGIN. despite the number of times yejun tells junseo to stay away, he keeps showing up as if he enjoys to bother the older male. squinted his vision with thin lips into a line, hands ball into fists, deciding to not satisfy the other by glancing over. instead, he keeps his attention elsewhere to the galore of food ahead. from traditional cuisine to fusions, a variety of pleasure lay ahead, & yejun was willing to try as much as possible. now he wonders if he will truly enjoy them all now that the asshole showed up. how the fuck did he lose to him in the obstacle ?? “please just walk away, junseo.” he was going to try a new method. by keeping his cool —- at least compared to his typical —- he asks the male with a please. if junseo continues to stay around, he will become more aggressive like usual. “i just want to be left alone.” reaching for his wallet, he takes out the amount to purchase from the vendor in front of him, smiling softly while giving his thanks. yejun still does not look at junseo, picking up his pace to venture through the crowd —- hoping he’ll lose junseo behind. 

Junseo knew there were people who wondered why he still hung around Yejun despite how cold and harsh the elder male could be towards him. Those people were also people who didn’t know the truth, who didn’t quite understand the reasoning behind why Yejun despised him so much - at least this time around, Junseo knew he didn’t actually do anything wrong. After all, he didn’t force the other boy to feel anything, but he had figured that the other’s way of dealing with it was to lash out. Fair enough. However, Yejun hadn’t seemed to be handling losing the obstacle course competition too well, so he had been expecting the elder to give him the cold shoulder anyway but this new calm and collected approach was definitely surprising. Junseo would say he was almost impressed. “You’re always pushing me away, hyung. I just want to hang out with you.” He knew not to expect much, however, and the way Yejun left without acknowledging the younger boy was something Junseo had just become used to. Making sure to stay close, he continued to follow behind the other whilst checking out the food on offer. “What’s your favourite street food, hyung? I like egg bread and anything that has cheese on it, basically.”

moonxfmd:

It still amazed Moon from time to time that there was a moment in his life he found Junseo to be annoying. Their friendship blossoming over an understanding they had for each other, which certainly took time to figure out. Even years later, he couldn’t get used to having to be away from his best friend for long periods of time. Even when they were trainee’s they somehow managed to stay connected to each other. “Yah, don’t complain. I’d love to be able to stay home for a month straight,” he responded, but could understand how annoying it could get when all he wanted to do after a long time off was perform. “I’m sure they haven’t forgotten about you guys, until then you should get a different hobby. Video games are cool but you gotta get your brain wave lengths flowing.” He laughed, wishing he could be home more often to spend countless days with Junseo. “Of course I did, I don’t have anyone else to spend money on. Just let me buy you things, okay? You are, I don’t deny that.”

They hadn’t always been this close, Junseo knowing very well that he had probably been the bane of the older boy’s existence when he suddenly turned up and started hanging around the streets as a teenager. He was glad that Moon had eventually given him a chance, as he now couldn’t imagine what it would be like without the other by his side. There weren’t many people who truly believed in him - hell, even his own parents didn’t believe in him - but Moon was always there supporting him no matter what. “It would be great if I hadn’t already had a month off,” Junseo sighed, “I don’t know what Dimensions are doing with us honestly.” A sigh escaping his lips as he thought about his stagnating career, it would be easier if they were working on something but he had no idea how long he would have to wait for another comeback. “Video games do get the brain wavelengths going, you know. It’s all about strategy and hand-eye coordination.” Smiling in response, he gently nudged the other boy before speaking. “I’m sure you have other people, don’t be silly,” He replied, tilting his head slightly in curiosity. “I’m curious as to what it is now, what did you get me?”

fmdshen:

“And what you call high levels of confidence, is what other people call being a pigheaded prick.” Of course Shen didn’t really think that about Junseo. Even though the older male could be a little bit difficult to get along with at times, he wasn’t that bad of a guy. Shen was able to see the good parts of him. He knew that deep down he could be a decent guy, he proved that to him time and time again. He wasn’t blind to the negative things about him, not at all, but Shen’s personality made it so that he could overlook those things - for the most part. “I only let you come over because you have a nice ass. That’s about it,” Shen teased, dismissively waving him off with his hand, although the smile on his face gave away the fact that he was kidding. “Definitely too hot. I’d rather stay here where I know it’ll stay at a comfortable temperature.” And by a comfortable temperature, he meant almost freezing. Shen liked it to be a little bit more chilly, it was one of his quirks. He allowed him to take his phone from his hands, smiling slightly. “Cold noodles and pig feet sound good. Can you order some bibimbap too?”

“Well, you can’t please everyone. If people think of me as a prick then that’s fine by me.” A shrug punctuating his sentence, Junseo didn’t look too fussed about it. If he had spent his time caring about what people thought about him then he probably would have lead a worse life than he already had considering how he was never exactly anyone’s favourite person until he had met his best friend. He wasn’t going to change for other people and he knew that the people who liked him for who he was, people like Shen, would stay regardless of the fact that he could be quite harsh and brazen. “I mean, the feeling is mutual, you know. Can’t resist a nice ass,” He replied, snorting quietly at how ridiculous it sounded. He was glad though that he could joke around like this with Shen, knowing that despite their words, there was a part of them that did care for the other. It was probably hard to believe in Junseo’s case sometimes but in these situations, Shen’s comfort was always his priority. “By comfortable temperature, you mean basically returning to the Ice Age?” Junseo teased once more, having felt the other’s preference for cold temperature more often than not. Focusing on the phone as he added the bibimbap to the order, he handed the phone back to Shen to organise the payment. “I didn’t realise how hungry I was.”

   he knows it hadn’t been that long, but anytime spent away from junseo always put dain into a different mood. his best friend often being the only person to bring him out of it, even if it was just pure annoyance. they’re in their own little world, moon laying his head in junseo’s lap just like they used to before entering the idol world. “we haven’t seen each other in how long? pay attention to me,” he whined, more because he knew it would annoy junseo. “what have i missed? being on tour is fun and all, but i need more drama in my life. how is everything for you?” checking in with younger male was always something he did, knowing there were things they only told each other. “i bought you something while i was in italy, don’t forget to remind me to give it to you. it cost a lot of my hard earned money so you have to be nice to me now, at least for a whole month to pay me back.” 

@fmdjunseo

“I am paying attention to you, you’re so demanding,” Junseo replied, huffing in fake annoyance as he looked down at his best friend. Impulse had been busy touring whilst Mars had, as usual, nothing to do and Junseo had admittedly been extremely bored without Moon by his side. A hand gently resting in the other boy’s hair, he couldn’t help but break his act and start quietly laughing. “You haven’t missed much, to be honest. I think Mars has been long forgotten by Dimensions, we’re basically on vacation again for this month with no plans for a comeback so I’ve just been playing video games most of the time,” He replied with a shrug; it was kind of annoying to be put on hold when other groups were getting comeback after comeback, but he supposed that he couldn’t complain when he was able to actually get a decent night’s sleep. “You didn’t have to get me anything, you know. But also, when am I ever not nice to you? I’m extremely nice to you all the time.”

fmdyena:

yena loved all things sweet, breaking her diet more often than she would want to admit to for something, anything chocolate-y. that being said, just because she liked it, didn’t mean she knew the damn first thing about it. baking, or anything that took place in the kitchen (perhaps from the occasional kitchen sex) had never been yena’s strong suit. there had been an occasion she had tried to bake cupcakes when gal.actic had still been living in their dorm for the birthday of one of the girls and it had been nothing short of a disaster, in the end, dimensions had to change their oven and ever since she had been forbidden to even so much look at the kitchen. so why they asked her to be the judge of a pastry bake off? it was absolutely beyond her. she had absolutely no cliue what she was doing which meant she had gone for doing what she knew best, bluffing her way through the situation with a broad smile. fake it until you make it right. “they definitely are junseo-ssi,” she replied, purposedly trying to buyy herself some smore time to come up with something substance to say that wouldn’t leave her looking like a complete idiot. not more than normal at least. “the texture is really, really nice and the flavor comes out really well too.” it was something she had heard on cooking shows before, did that apply to baking as well? she hoped so. “don’t you agree junseo-ssi?”

Junseo quietly cursed the person who decided it was a good idea to make two people who had no idea about baking judge a baking competition; he could name at least three people off the top of his head who were better suited for the job than he could ever be. It was probably just easier to make the most of the moment though, to enjoy being able to eat things that he normally wouldn’t be able to eat thanks to the strict rules of the industry. He was sure if the people who knew what he was normally like saw him now, he would be made fun of to no end for his poor attempt at feigning knowledge. “Oh, yes, definitely. I 100% agree, Yena-ssi,” Junseo replied, feeling like a low-quality parody of a cooking show judge as he attempted to keep up the professional act. It was times like this where he wondered what would Taisei do, knowing that his groupmate would have probably been able to get through this event without any problems. “I’d say this has a real chance of being the winner.” As the other judges gave their opinion, he took advantage of the lack of attention on him to lean over and whisper to the girl beside him. “I have no idea what I’m doing, I don’t know shit about baking.”

date & time: july 12th & 19:48

status: closed with @fmdjunseo

   “YOU’VE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME ??” —- muttering beneath his breath, he shakes his head as an exaggerated sigh escapes through parted lips. deciding to stay a bit longer in the area after his course in the obstacle, he lingers about observing all the local venues, spending the little cash he brought on the food available & the little games he had interest to participate in. before he could start conversation with an older woman trying to sell a meal covered in cheese, his words are cut off when the last person he wanted to see stood behind. “do you not have anywhere else to be ?? anyone else to bother ??” he rolls his eyes, stuffing hands into the depth of his pocket. he was still being sour about the two having to participate in the obstacle together. he’ll always be bitter toward junseo. “leave me alone.”

It was no secret to Junseo that Yejun was, for lack of better words, extremely pissed off that he had beaten him at the obstacle course competition. Maybe for any other person, this information would have deterred them from approaching the elder male until he cooled down, but Junseo wasn’t scared of the other man. “Hyung!” He called out, his voice cheerful as he caught up to Yejun. A smile remained on his face despite Yejun’s frosty response simply because he knew that it annoyed the other to no end, his expression feigning innocence as he spoke. “Why would I want to be anywhere else? Is it a crime to want to hang out with my favourite hyung?” He replied before turning his attention to the food in front of him. “Were you planning on buying food? I’m kind of hungry, let’s eat together. Do you want to get some of this?” 

[fmdjunseo-blog]

fmdshen:

“I don’t think you need an ego boost, hyung. Your ego is just fine in the spot that it’s in right now. If it gets boosted up any higher, I don’t think your head will be able to fit on your shoulders. It already looks like your neck is struggling to uphold such a heavy weight already,” he teased, reaching out so he could gently press the tip of his forefinger against the other’s forehead, pushing against it playfully. Of course he didn’t really think that he had a big head, he just always teased his friends like that, Junseo was no exception to that. If they were going to consider one another friends, the older male would have to deal with the younger’s teasing. “That settles that then.” He settled back down into the bed, now holding his cell phone. He unlocked the screen and pulled up his favorite food delivery app. “We’re not getting barbecue. I don’t really feel like going out right now.” Going out meant running the risk of being mobbed, and he didn’t want to deal with that. “You’re not making this any easier! Why do I have to choose? You know I’ll eat anything. You pick.” He held his phone out towards him. 

“What you call a big ego, I call high levels of confidence,” Junseo rebutted, his tone matter-of-fact but with a hint of amusement to let Shen know that he was still in on the joke before laughing as he felt the finger on his forehead. “There’s a difference, you know. Besides, you still let me come over even if my ego is apparently as huge as you say it is.” Even though it was a joke, it was nothing that Junseo hadn’t heard before; he had long learnt that the best thing was to just let comments like that run off his back and go along with it, but he knew there was no malice in Shen’s words. Rolling over to lie down on his stomach, he wondered for a brief moment whether he should at least put his underwear on, but he knew that the other probably wasn’t bothered by it. “Good, I don’t want to go out either. It’s too hot to be sat in front of a grill anyway,” Junseo mused for a moment before watching the other boy looking at his phone. He knew it always ended up becoming somewhat of a nightmare whenever he tried to decide what to eat with friends, and he could see this was going to be no exception. Another laugh escaped his lips as he took the phone from the younger boy, scrolling through the app to see what was available. “Since it’s hot outside, how about cold noodles? I kind of want to eat pig feet too, you like that, right?”

setting: night on the beach concert, busan, 11·july 2018, 6pmwith: @fmdjunseo

the backstage area was buzzing, with a little less than an hour left until the show, everyone was running around from one place to another, making sure everything would be ready so the concert would run smoothly. after having checked on his own boys multiple times, making sure their mics were attached and working, they had all gone through wardrobe, hair and make-up and you know, making sure, they were present, he had excused himself to quickly stop by mars’ dressing room in the hopes of catching taisei before the show to wish him good luck for the night. lightly he knocked on the door before opening it slightly, half stepping inside as he let his eyes scan the room. unfortunately, taisei was nowhere to be seen and even worse, junseo was the only person around.·“oh- it’s just you-” he muttered, a sharp sarcastic edge to his words.·“just my luck i guess…” voice trailing off as he figured it was probably best to bite his tongue. it was no secret that the males didn’t exactly get along, they never had, their evergoing fued starting when they had still been trainees. there were plenty of reasons in jaewon’s eyes to despise the other male, everything about his personality being nothing short of unpleasant and jaewon knew himself well enough to know the same could be said about him. but he wasn’t here to pick fights, he had plenty of stuff more important to pay mind to than junseo. so as politely as possible, while incredibly stiffly, he asked: “any chance you know where sei is? i was hoping to see him before the show.”

The finishing touches had been added to his outfit - not that there was much, considering they had forced everyone into the same cheesy beach outfit - and his makeup had been completed, and Junseo had decided to not join the chaos outside of Mars’ dressing room. They would be performing halfway through the concert anyway, so there was no rush to go anywhere in his opinion; after all, they’ve already rehearsed enough, there was nothing to worry about. It was also the perfect opportunity to get some much needed alone time because as much as he loved his groupmates, he sometimes neede a break from them. Nothing could possibly ruin this moment, Junseo thought as he browsed through his social media on his phone, but he had spoke too soon as he heard the knock on the door. Unable to contain his sigh of disapproval, his expression quickly turned from one of neutrality to one of dislike as he realised the person who had ruined his rare moment alone was no other than Jaewon. He knew Jaewon disliked him, their feud having began long ago during their trainee times, and Junseo thought the other male was absolutely insufferable and stuck up; it wasn’t his fault they chose him to debut in Mars instead of Jaewon, after all.·“I could say the same about you,” Junseo replied, his tone equally as sarcastic as the other’s. He knew it was best not to let the other male get to him, especially since they were in a semi-public place and the last thing he needed was a behaviour scandal, but he just wanted Jaewon to go away as quickly as possible.·“No, I don’t know where he is. I haven’t seen him since makeup was finished.”

@fmdyena location: busan summer festival pastry bakeoff 

What a joke. Maybe someone in Dimensions had it out for him, Junseo thought, as he was told that he was going to have to judge pastries of all things. Now, he can appreciate the culinary arts, but he didn’t understand why he of all people had to be a judge when he knew nothing about pastries in the first place. All that mattered to him was whether they tasted good, he couldn’t care less about fancy techniques or presentation. There was the positive of getting to eat free pastries, but who knew whether they’d be good or not - it was a pastry competition, after all. Turning his attention to his labelmate beside him, he wondered if she was just as clueless as he was or if she actually knew what was doing, but either way, he wasn’t sure he himself would be able to get away with faking it until the end. Sure, he’d watched an episode or two of the Great British Bakeoff before, but he had no idea what a perfect mille feuille looked like and he didn’t care enough to know either. “These brownies are very...” Junseo began, struggling to find a word to make him seem like he actually knew what he was doing. “Delicious.” It was ridiculous, he knew, but what were people going to expect from a bunch of idols? He wasn’t a chef in the first place. Expression remaining professional, he was sure that his eyes were pleading for Yena to help him get through this event before he died from how bored he was. “What do you think, Yena?” 

[fmdjunseo-blog]

fmdshen:

To Shen, the terms friends with benefits was executed in the way that it was meant to be. He considered Junseo to be his friend first and foremost, even without the acquired benefit of being able to sleep with him whenever the two of them had spare time on their hands. He didn’t think that sleeping with someone and being their friend were two mutually exclusive things. You could have one without the other, of course, but to him it was better to have them both. You got all the perks of having a friend and all the perks of being able to get off whenever you needed it. What more could someone want? And the best part of it was that there weren’t any feelings involved in the matter. They didn’t have to worry about jealousy or hurt feelings because there weren’t any non platonic feelings there to begin with. 

“I know, I just like hearing you say it. It’s a nice stroke for my ego.” Shen wasn’t a very egotistical person, but he was a young guy in the prime of his life and in the height of his career. Of course he didn’t mind a little ego stroking from time to time. Their arrangement was one that Shen held near and dear to his heart, not only because he got sex out of it, but because he valued Junseo’s friendship as well. He might not have been the nicest guy, but the two of them still got along and formed a pretty strong bond. “I’m starving.” But when wasn’t that the case for Shen? “I could go for some barbecue. Or maybe pizza? Or burgers? Oh, or kimchi, bulgogi and bibimbap. Honestly, I could eat just about anything.” He shook his head as leaned out of bed to reach for his pants where he had left his phone. “I’ll pay. You’re my guest here anyway.”

In all honesty, Junseo had never thought that he would end up being the type to partake in a friends with benefits relationship. It wasn’t something that he was ashamed of, however, because what he did in his own time was his own business. Shen was, admittedly, up there in the ranks of Junseo’s favourite people to sleep with; there was no fuss, no expectations to be something other than what they were. It was simple and that’s what he liked about it. Of course, it was difficult to meet up often considering their schedules as idols (Origin’s schedule considerably more busy than Mars’) but the times that they did get to meet were always something that he looked forward to and enjoyed. 

“And yet you won’t even return the favour and give me an ego boost? I see how it is, Shen,” He replied back, his tone fairly light despite the unchanging stoic expression on his face. There were loads of people who didn’t think he was capable of being a good friend, but somehow Shen had given him a chance and actually let him stick around once their use of each other was done and it was something Junseo was grateful for. Moving the pillow he was resting on into a more comfortable position, he couldn’t help but snort at Shen’s statement. Of course he was hungry, no surprise there. “If you want barbecue then we’re going to have to go out, so it depends on whether you can be bothered to put your clothes back on. I don’t really care what we eat though, you get what you want to eat.”
