hearing a familiar voice behind him, jiho spins around in the chair he had settled himself in and, for once, doesn’t stop the smile from spreading across his lips at the sight of his boyfriend walking towards him. “hi,” he greets back, feeling a bit breathless at the sight of the other. it’s stupid, and maybe he’s too enamored all things considered—they’ve been dating for maybe 3 months and he’s still as shy around the other as he had been when they were dancing around each other—but he thinks he’s allowed to feel this way consideing they don’t get to see each other as often as he would like.
“uh, not really.” he chews on his bottom lip, adjusting his glasses as he glances at the lyric sheet he had been looking at before the other had arrived. “i mean, i’m always nervous before recording so that’s nothing new …” he idly taps his fingers against the paper before he scrunches up his nose. “i’ll take one positive affirmation if it’s not a compliment though!”
not that this is his studio or anything, but eunho can’t help but be a little hyperaware of his surroundings. notably, he kind of wishes there was a plant or something in here to spruce things up. it’s looking way too big with just the two of them, after all — though he’s never minded being alone with jiho.
he’s just, you know, nervous.
plus, with nothing else to focus on but jiho, eunho can’t really do much to control the stupid smile that keeps threatening to break past his aura of professionalism every time they so much as make eye contact.
“gasp, lee jiho nervous before recording? never would have guessed!” eunho jokes, as he taps his pen against the thin stack of papers in front of him. “wait — no compliments?” he looks up, his expression positively wounded at the idea of being unable to shower his Business Acquaintance (slash boyfriend) in praise. eunho hums, leaning back in his seat, a contemplative glint in his eyes. “you’re going to hit it out of the park. i mean, you’re lee jiho. of course you’ll do great.” he smiles, sincerely. “and even if you’re having an off-day, luckily for you, we have plenty of time and i have the patience of a saint,” eunho teases.
he marks up the lyrics sheet a couple of more times — mostly unintelligible scribbles that only make sense to eunho — before jerking his thumb over his shoulder to the actual recording booth.
“you ready? you can warm up your throat and run your lines a couple of times to see if we need to make any adjustments.”
