. . . .
Your stomach felt hollow and your sense of smell felt stale despite the sacred aroma of food filled with grease and an extra, extra pinch of salt - the signature stamp of delicious for an all-American diner.
This was your usual post-hangover go-to after a night out, equalizing the alcohol that filled you belly last night with an extra helping of burgers made of brioche bun. Nonetheless, you couldn't help but let your food in front of you grow cold as your friends stuffed their faces and moaned out of satisfaction, even though this was probably their umpteenth time here.
The argument that ensued on the car ride home with Vernon left you with a bitter taste on your tongue - and it lingered. You have known him for the better part of your twenties when you met him through Chan so many years ago. Bright-eyed and a man of few words, he was perhaps the last person you expected to befriend from the dance studio. You were opinionated and particular. Alas, a stupid project brought the two of you together and you couldn't come a part since. Dare you admit it, your confidant, best friend, partner in crime - what have you. Somewhere along the way, the two of you started tiptoeing across the lines of friends and something more.
A performance turned into a hand for a dance at Seungcheol's wedding.
Simple brush of fingers in between class changes in the hallway turned into handholding past midnight, wandering the streets downtown.
Playful jabs and shoves turned into heart-to-hearts that lasted into the morning, over turtle chips and pop because he didn't like alcohol.
A peck on the cheek in the depths of the night when only the dinky LED lightbulb overhead lit the studio turned into a full on makeout session on Soonyoung's bedroom.
So, who could blame you when you asked him for clarity?
You felt a gentle nudge of an elbow into your left side and you turned your head slightly to acknowledge him. You didn't dare to look up for your feared the waterworks might start and you didn't need the entirety of your friends and this diner to know of your issues.
Wordlessly, Vernon held up a single fry to your lips. The tip was stained with white horseradish sauce because you didn't like ketchup and enjoyed the wasabi-like sensation that followed after.
Your eyes flickered to him quickly then back to the fry, still refusing to open your mouth.
He . . . can't be doing things like this after what he said.
He shouldn't.
But he was.
"You should eat, babe," Vernon mumbled. The nickname of affection slipping between his lips so casually and easily. It was second nature to him at this point. You weren't so sure if it was out of affection, however - maybe, it was just habit. He nudged it closer, his movements a little too fast because the sauce touched your top lip.
"Oh shit!" Vernon's eyes widened and he threw the fry down. He quickly reached for a napkin instead and began wiping your lip. "I'm so sorry."
"Vernon," you whimpered, your cheeks feeling warm. You tried to push his hand away to no avail. "You don't need to-"
"What are you guys, exactly?"
Your booth turned silent and all eyes zeroed in on you and Vernon. You were both frozen, the napkin hovering over your lips and your hand still wrapped around the latter's wrist. You gulped, straining your eyes to see who the question came from.
Joshua sat across from Vernon, a burger held up to his mouth, but his lips were pursed, brows crinkled in a similar fashion.
The booth waited for an answer; no one dared moved until they got one. You took this opportunity to move away from Vernon, shoving his hand away, ducking your head, and scooting closer to Jun on your right. Jun shuffled closer to the edge, worried.
Out of the corner of your eye, you could see the look of hurt that crossed Vernon's face when you moved away.
What were you supposed to say? You had the same question and no clear answer.
"Um," Vernon put the napkin down and scratched the back of his head before he looked up innocently at Joshua. "I-is there a wrong answer to this question?"
Joshua let go of his burger, plopping into a wrapper with a quiet 'thwack' as it landed. The grease and ketchup seeped into the paper, not letting it fall away. Joshua sighed and shook his head.
"There is," Joshua answered for you and your heart skipped a beat - not for Joshua, but in anticipation of an answer from Vernon finally.
"Think carefully, Chwe because it's something we've all been wondering for the past year."
i love watching your breakdown over channie you're so valid for all of this. i'm mentally patting you on the back and giving you water, we can cry over him together

*taps mic* we need to put cheol in booty shorts, actually. he’s going to be so embarrassed and shy in them but DAMN will he look good
-xanthe
@aceofvernons he’s one of the two members with booty i think it would destabilize the earth if we saw his body
also do you ever think about how scoups never wears shorts??? woozi and dk are going around in teeny tiny shorts and hoshi wears giant shorts that highlight his smooth legs…. i feel like we’ve seen all the members knees pretty frequently but scoups hasn’t revealed his knees for a few years….
k so i was looking through my photos for smth and i found this bc i was gonna use it for the ace board i absolutely didn’t forget about-
anyways cue me losing my mind over it a little and i think you would be able to use it better than i can ok bye
K just me thinking about how nice it'd be to run your hands through his hair tho yum
Like. Just picture sweeping those long bangs off of his sweaty forehead as he slides into you, the chill of his silver chains against your bare chest, a death grip on his leather jacket at how big and good he feels. He's still basically fully clothed because the two of you were so desparate to get your hands on one another, there was no time to fully undress but somehow he managed to get your shirt off. It's not like anyone will notice you missing until Vernon puts a hand over your mouth to silence your whines, gesturing to his in-ear that's still connected and likely turned on. You'd think he might stop in fear of getting caught but he just keeps going, whispering in your ear to be quiet because there's no way he can resist you when you're so needy.
