it’s been a while since he’s last talked to sangmi. with heaven’s promotions in full swing and diamond’s members working harder than ever, he can’t even remember the last time they interacted any further than a good night text or a quick check-in. but it’s easy enough now to free up his schedule; the sight of his own messy room was enough for a pang of remorse to shoot through him and fire off a quick text to sangmi: “on my way with noodles. be there.” like nearly everyone else, he’s kept up with heaven on his downtime, and knows that she’s currently at a broadcasting station. takeout box buckled safely into the passenger seat, he heads over to meet her.

today was honestly supposed to be a good day. hyeon supposes that it hasn’t gotten worse: only infinitely more stressful. the company of the girl is definitely one that he enjoys, but not necessarily “conversation” company; more like “being there” company, the kind that he can get by being in the same room and pretending that he’s not listening to her laugh with her friends (he noticed a long, long time ago that she has a very captivating laugh).

either way, he always finds himself in this predicament: tiptoeing around nayoung, trying to get as close as he can get without getting too close (read: her figuring out about this little “emotional” situation that manifested soon after heaven’s debut). he’ll drop a casual hello every now and again, or maybe work up the guts to ask her how she’s doing. he thinks he’s making a pretty good job out of being friendly without being obvious. he thinks, of course; and what he thinks versus what he actually looks like are two very, very different stories.

he’s not prepared for interaction with her, because for once, her presence isn’t at the front of his attention. no, he’s at one of the crystal practice rooms, working at getting that final piece of choreography perfect, so engrossed in his work that he doesn’t even hear her enter. when he finishes the number, though, he can spot a head of silky hair at the side of the building, looking as comb-able as it always does and he resists the urge to tuck a lock behind her ear.

“ahh! it’s you! i mean, it’s you, nayoung. how are you?”

why wouldn’t he just leave? was he sitting down…on top of his car? all sunghwa wanted at this moment was for him to run her over with it. her day was currently at seven and when the other began talking to her it was at a near three. “is that some sort of joke?” some of the top searches on naver regarding lady were wondering if they sing live. she felt as if he was mocking her in some way and it made her angry to say the least. “i think you’re mistaking me for a different member…” now she was certain her day had dropped down to a solid two. she would not sit on top of a car with someone who she consider to be a complete stranger and that had unknowingly insulted her pride. “i’ll stand.”

he shrugs, unfazed at the brush-off. he’ll wait out as long as he has to for her to finish . . . whatever the hell it is she’s doing so that he can pull his car out of the parking spot. still, he can tell she’s getting pissed, but as far as he’s concerned, it’s not his problem if she doesn’t let him move. “is what some sort of joke?” he raises an eyebrow at her, unamused by whatever joke he’s apparently just told. “the thing about rappers singing? isn’t that what they’re supposed to do? our rapper sings sometimes. in bad, in the eye; he does all that harmonizing stuff in the chorus. but if you wanna get defensive about it, then go ahead. you’ll probably just be proving right that guy who called you out. besides, if you go around suggesting to people that your vocals are shit the way you just now did to me, then people are gonna start believing it. you know how netizens are; that guy was probably just repeating something you said on camera, right back to you.”

“buying bulgogi isn’t even that big of a deal. so, I’m not moving. your members can wait.” she wasn’t even sure if anybody from the company had noticed she was gone since she wasn’t particularly well liked around there, especially with her own members. hiding out in a parking lot didn’t like that bad of an idea at the time she thought of it. but, now she was regretting it with the way her legs and feet began to ache with every minute that was passing by. with a loud huff she said, “i don’t think anyone even knows I’m out here, so it doesn’t need to add up. just don’t go talking bad about j-soul, alright? or lady. or me.”

[ikxhyeon]

“well, yeah, i guess that’s true. the manager is probably gonna give them food anyway, since she’s prepared like that.” unquestioning, he dumps the groceries on top of his car and seats himself, comfortably cross-legged, upon the hood. he’s already more interested in listening to the rest of what she has to say than attempting to cook bulgogi when somebody else is better at it anyway. despite her assertions, though, he flattens his hair down across his forehead, still trying in vain to make sense of her story. “but isn’t it kinda weird? because i didn’t think that anybody in lady was supposed to have a bad voice, so why would he even say that? you’re the . . . rapper, right? but you have singing parts too? like the, uh, ‘la la la la’ stuff in the chorus. if you sounded bad you wouldn’t have gotten in.” he shrugs. “sit down if you want. this car’s dealt with a lot more than just two people sitting on it, but if you have to hide out for a while then it’s kinda ridiculous for you to stand.”

“so get this, i was trying to film for the v app in this little field south of somewhere,” she paused for a second shaking her head, “that’s not important but then this guy comes out of nowhere and tells me that i should stop embarrassing myself? because i can’t sing well. i was like ‘do you even know who i am? i’m in lady, the hottest girl group as of right now and all these companies want this face to show off their stuff. i’m  famous!’ but he laughed at me and told me to go back to wherever i came from…so, yeah, that’s why i’m hiding in the parking lot.”

“w-what? i wasn’t even asking you why you’re in the parking lot; i was just asking you to move from my car door. i need to get my groceries inside and just leave. you’re not the only one having a rough night, you know: i lost a bet with my group and now i need to buy them bulgogi. i know who you are and it’s really cool to meet you, but—- wait. he told you to go back to wherever you came from and you came to the parking lot? and you’re a member of lady? what, is j-soul having budget issues or something? i mean, come on, even i know that doesn’t add up.” hyeon squints, slinging the bag of groceries down to the crook of his elbow to free one hand for scratching his head, puzzled. he’d intended on being in and out of the grocery store, but here he is, distracted once again (truthfully, he blames his members for trusting him enough to go out on his own).

@ikjaehyun / 01.21.17

it’s quite late at night, and hyeon almost feels bad for what he’s about to do. but if there’s one thing he is, it’s a perfectionist (or “easily lost,” which is probably the true reason he’s waking up jaehyun at one in the morning—- hyeon can hardly find the practice room by himself in the day, much less in the dark of night). nevertheless, he’s something comical, squinting in the moonlight and squatted over his fellow vocalist. one hand precariously tips a glass over jaehyun’s forehead, slowly dribbling cold water onto the junior as hyeon pokes his cheek with a forefinger and whispers,

“jaehyun-ah. ryu jaehyun. jaehyun-ah. wake up. i’m bored. i need to practice my singing, and i need somebody to listen. it’ll just be for an hour or two—- jaehyun-ah. wake up.”
