the ultimate boyfriend

empowered reunion

for @syfjade

the request had been a surprise—more in that azure gave him the go ahead to accept than anything else, but the fact he'd gotten it at all was strange. he didn't think he'd be working with jade lee ever again.

during hyunjae's time mentoring on counterpoint, jade had stuck out to him as something special. it was overshadowed, though, by the sister-against-sister plot line the writers infatuated themselves with. yoojung had ended up being the one to prevail in the narrative, but hyunjae had held out some hope for jade.

(not that he'd ever admit to it. playing favorites wasn't a good look.)

and now here she was, the ace of the hottest new girl group, debuting solo, and requesting him to feature on one of her songs—a power move, he had no doubts.

they haven't talked since counterpoint. it's an awkward reunion, but he tries not to let it show as he greets her at the recording studio. "thank you for inviting me to collaborate on your debut album. i hope we work well together."

syfminseo:

Minseo did not expect for this to get any worse, but it had. She had agreed to come to the performances today as a favor for a friend. Unfortunately, they had come down with a stomach bug and hadn’t told her until after she had already arrived. Now, Minseo was left alone and who was one of the groups performing? Imaginair. And of course, as she was attempting an escape without getting caught by the tabloids (v-trouble was the bigger person in all this after all), who did she run into? The person she least wanted to find.

She steeled herself. No way she was going to let Hyunjae of all people see her frazzled. She smirked at him.

“Hyunjae? What are you doing here? I didn’t even hear you in the new Imaginair single. Did they finally just demote you to backup dancer?”

Hyunjae just barely keeps himself from rolling his eyes. "Who said you could address me casually? And you must not have paid any attention to it, then," he says, unwilling to give Minseo the satisfaction. He is on the track, his vocals are there—but only enough for a fan to know he's still in the group, that his hiatus hadn't extended into his group comebacks. They'd given the small rap part to the other rapper—because of the choreography, they said, but Hyunjae knew it was bullshit.

…Minseo didn't need to know that, of course.

So he shrugs off his frustrations as well as he can, offers her a disdainful glance. "And what are you doing here? Your company isn't trying to promote against us, are they? That'd just be sad."

variety blues

for @syfyunlong

they've only been filming for a few hours, but hyunjae's already exhausted. variety shows are usually fun, but today he isn't feeling it. maybe that's to be expected—he hasn't been in the best of moods for a while, and trying to fake excitement for the cameras is taking more out of him than if he was actually able to enjoy himself.

this show isn't particularly fun, either. they'd been playing a game where the guests had to direct each other how to solve a puzzle through nothing but verbal directions, and hyunjae had been partnered with a girl group member, who had seemed to give up from the start when she first laid eyes on the puzzle box. hyunjae had tried, but the other idol had just stared wide-eyed at the wires and dials as hyunjae tried not to get frustrated.

he can't even really blame her. the puzzles don't make sense, too difficult to explain let alone follow. they aren't meant to solve it. it's funnier for audiences if they look dumb and fail. it kind of feels like some sort of roundabout punishment, and hyunjae just wants it over with.

a smarter idol would be spending their break networking with their costars, but hyunjae isn't in the mood to play the affable sunbae to the rookie guests. so instead he makes his way to the quieter side of the catering table, where only a handful of cast members are standing around. he sports a somewhat familiar face there--RaSe member qiu yunlong. hyunjae’s surprised to see him here (more surprised that he didn’t see him sooner), but decides he’d make better company than anyone else.

so he walks over, offers a quiet nod. “hi, yunlong-sunbae. having fun?”

#syfyunlong #t:threads #t:variety blues #s:para #i know u said yun doesn't usually do variety shows but i couldn't think of anything else :')#i hope this is kinda fun anyway??

Hyunjae ducks out of his group's dressing room, trying his best not to be seen as he darts for the bathroom. His group doesn't go on for a while so he doesn't think he'll be missed, but the managers have been keeping him on a tight leash for this round of promotions.

It's awkward to be back. There wasn't any big announcement about it, and rumors still swirl around him wherever he goes. It almost feels like he's still on hiatus, especially with his role as a glorified backup dancer for this comeback. It's his own mistake that got him in this position, but it doesn't mean he can't be upset about it.

There's too many people waiting by the bathroom as he gets close, so Hyunjae instead detours towards the stairwell. It's usually quiet, unlike the stairwell at the Inkigayo studio.

Luck isn't on his side, though, as he nearly runs into someone turning the corner. "Sorry, I—Oh, it's you."

don’t wanna go home

@syfsunan

alcohol tw, mentions of fighting, strong language.

All Hyunjae had wanted was to be left alone as he drank himself into a nice buzz. He didn't particularly want to even be at this party tonight, but his members insisted that he needed to loosen up and have fun again. This probably wasn't the best way to get him back on the scene, though. Or any of them, for that matter.

None of them members knew v-trouble would be at the party. And they were just as their name implied—trouble.

It was natural that the Imaginair and v-trouble members didn't mix well together. With all the tension between their groups, it would take a miracle for them to even share a friendly look.

Hyunjae didn't know them very well, not personally, but he didn't need to know them to know he didn't like them. But even with the animosity between them, that didn't mean he wanted to confront them—especially not now, when he was still dealing with his own public humiliation.

A tight feeling pulls at Hyunjae's chest as he weaves through the crowd, doing anything not to be noticed by the girls laughing and dancing. He was already well on his way to being drunk and just wanted so badly to stay out of fights tonight—was it so wrong to have a few drinks and relax?

This is so fucked up, hiding at a party where they should be the ones afraid of being caught by him. Anger flares in Hyunjae's whole body as he reaches for a shot (a beer, a wine cooler, soju, anything) and mutters under his breath, "Fuck this."

He wanders for a bit, looking for a place to hideout until one of his members found him, but the universe just isn't looking on him kindly tonight.

As he stumbles around a corner, he finds himself in the company of HELLI0N's leader, who looks up to greet him with a sharp expression.

Sunan was bad news, at least in Hyunjae's eyes. With anyone else, he could normally keep his temper controlled, but Sunan somehow managed to coax out his bad side every time they happened to run into each other. They've fought more often than not, and everything between them was a competition.

Was there anyone Hyunjae liked at this party?

They say something, probably an insult of some kind (because that's all they can seem to say to each other), but Hyunjae's not focused on them as movement catches his eye. It's one of the v-trouble members looking for drinks, her eyes scanning the room, so close to where the two rappers are standing—

Hyunjae panics.

On drunken impulse, Hyunjae's fingers wrap tight around Sunan's wrist and he drags the other with him, out of sight.
