Description: BamBam returns home from a trip to Thailand and realizes he misses having Youngjae there to welcome him back.
BamBam turned the door and entered the large, still-unfamiliar dorm that six of them called home. The six of them, he thought, as he sighed loudly as he took off his shoes to walk through the dorm to get to his and Yugyeom’s shared room.
Yugyeom would already be asleep like he usually was late at night so BamBam would have to be quiet in order to not wake his roommate up. BamBam had just returned from Thailand for a product advertisement deal he was currently working on and he was exhausted but at the same time he felt uneasy and a bit sad.
Normally BamBam would come in from his flights late and night and most of the members would be sleeping already. He would be exhausted and worn out, but usually never sleepy. He normally slept on the plane so by the time he got home he was usually awake again. Unfortuantely, everyone else would already be sleeping. Everyone except one certain hyung who often stayed up to play PC games way too late.
It’s no wonder that Youngjae always had such a hard time waking up in the mornings. Sometimes BamBam arrived home past 3:00am and Youngjae could still be heard clicking the mouse and typing away. Tonight was one of those nights that BamBam had arrived home way too late but he stopped and got an iced americano on the way home. That, paired with the fact that he did indeed sleep well on the plane, meant that he was wide awake by the time he arrived home.
But when he walked into the new spacious dorm, he couldn’t hear any clicking or typing, and there were no lights on. Because Youngjae wasn’t there. He wouldn’t be there anymore from now on either. BamBam stopped in the kitchen to grab a snack before he turned on the television and flipped through the channels even though he already knew nothing would be on this late.
As he laid his head back on the couch, he closed his eyes and thought about Youngjae in his new home with his brother. He wondered what Youngjae was doing now. Was he playing games late at night late like BamBam had grown accustomed to coming home to? Maybe his brother stayed up with him and they were playing together.
BamBam knew how much Youngjae loved and missed his older brother and sister, so he could only imagine how happy Youngjae must be spending so much time with his hyung. But what about his other brothers, like him, Yugyeom, and Jaebum? BamBam knew that maybe it was selfish of him to see things this way, but it was a new feeling and he was still getting used to the situation. He’d been living with Youngjae – and the rest of the members, for that matter – for so many years now that having someone gone was just strange.
BamBam wasn’t angry with Youngjae or with his older brother. He understood that the situation worked well for them – Youngjae missed his brother, his brother surely missed Youngjae. Living in Seoul isn’t cheap and his brother probably needed some financial assistance as well which Youngjae could fully provide. His brother wouldn’t have to worry about anything, and there’s even a silver lining here at his own dorm. Jaebum brought Nora home and he even picked up a few more cats.
This is a good thing, he thought to himself. But he couldn’t bring himself to fully accept it when he was sitting here alone in the dark, everyone else fast asleep and him wide awake. Youngjae wasn’t even living very far from the dorm and he still came over often, but that was beside the point. He just really, really missed his Youngjae-hyung.
He sat there with his eyes closed momentarily, debating whether or not he should just call Youngjae. Youngjae might actually be sleeping, in which case it would be extremely rude to wake up him. Youngjae might not be openly upset but he knew that the older boy did not appreciate being woken up at all. He decided it was probably best to just send a text instead.
BamBam: Hey hyung, are you awake?
BamBam held his phone in his hand, hoping that Youngjae was awake to talk to him. Within a few minutes he received a text message back from Youngjae and he felt his lips curl up into a smile.
Youngjae-hyung: Hi Bammie. Did you just get home?
BamBam: Yeah. Everyone else is asleep. What are you doing?
Youngjae-hyung: I’m just playing Overwatch. Is everything okay?
BamBam: Everything is fine hyung. Why?
Youngjae-hyung: It’s really late but you’re texting me instead of sleeping. Why didn’t you go to bed?
BamBam: Well I slept a lot on the flight…
Youngjae-hyung: Oh okay.
BamBam: Honestly though I just missed you, hyung.
BamBam waited but he didn’t receive another text back from Youngjae. A few minutes passed and he started to wonder why Youngjae didn’t respond. It’s not unlike them to tell each other things like that so what was the problem? Just as soon as he was about to toss his phone to the other side of the couch, the screen lit up and the ringtone went off. Youngjae had decided to call him instead.
“Oh, hyung. Hey.” BamBam said, feeling instant regret for getting so upset at Youngjae over nothing. “Hi Bam. What are you doing?”
“I’m just sitting on the couch. There’s nothing to do. Nothing on tv to watch either.” BamBam mumbled. “Why don’t you play Overwatch with me?” Youngjae asked, and BamBam immediately agreed to it.
BamBam was going to hang up to go log onto the game, but Youngjae told him to wait a minute. “Bam you know you can call me any time right? Actually if you want to, you can just come to mine and hyung’s apartment if it’s late like this and you want to hang out. It’s not a big deal. Okay?”
BamBam smiled to himself before, “Yeah I know hyung. I’ll take you up on that next time. Thanks.”
“No problem Bammie. I’ll talk to you in game then?” “Yeah, see you soon Youngjae-hyung.”

“When we’re done I’m gonna ride you as payback for making me piggy back you earlier.” He teased below his breath.
Logically, Yugyeom knew he was just talking about being carried to the car, but that is definitely not where his mind went. His eyes blew wide and he looked anywhere but at the person in front of him, praising every deity there was when the photographer told them they were done.
Got7 have a photoshoot and Jinyoung is laying on Yugyeom who suddenly has to try really hard not to pop a boner while his crush is up against him.

Description: Yugyeom has a serious crush on his neighbor Jinyoung, and unfortunately for him Jinyoung needs to use his shower to get ready for a date with someone who isn't Yugyeom.
Yugyeom’s eyes shot open and he got off his couch quickly to get the door. He had dozed off in the middle of the drama he was watching but he was waiting on a package that day so he didn’t want to miss the delivery person. It was only when he got to the door and looked through the peephole that he realized it wasn’t the delivery person but rather his neighbor from across the hall, Jinyoung.
Momentary panic set in when Yugyeom looked down at his white t-shirt with a large stain from the black bean noodles he had eaten earlier. He knew his hair was probably sticking up in places as well just from the way he had been lying on the couch. He looked like a mess and he didn’t even have time to do anything about it.
There was another knock at the door and Yugyeom just let out a sigh and opened it quickly before he talked himself out of it. As soon as the door was opened he noticed that Jinyoung was in pajamas and slippers with travel bag in his hand.
“Uh, hi hyun-“ “Is it okay if I use your shower, Yugyeom-ah?” Jinyoung interrupted. Yugyeom’s eyes widened and he wasn’t sure what to say for a moment. Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to even process what was going on before Jinyoung started talking again.
“For some reason my hot water isn’t working and I have somewhere to be very soon and I really don’t want to be late. I don’t really talk to anyone else on this floor so I just figured I would ask you if it’s okay if I use yours. I brought my own stuff so I don’t have to use your shampoo or anything. I would really appreciate it, Yugyeomie. Please.” Jinyoung rambled on, and Yugyeom’s mouth felt dry. He was honestly afraid of the words that might escape his mouth if he tried to respond so he just nodded slowly.
He watched as Jinyoung’s eyes lit up and he smiled brightly at Yugyeom. Yugyeom felt flustered and he was still embarrassed being in front of Jinyoung like this, but Jinyoung seemed too preoccupied with getting wherever it was he had to be soon to notice. “I’ll be quick, Yugyeomie! Thank you again for letting me use your shower!” Jinyoung said before taking off through the small hallway toward the bathroom.
Yugyeom sat down and took a drink of water, still slightly stunned. It wasn’t until he heard the water running in the shower that he fully realized the situation he was in. Jinyoung probably felt fine about the situation. He was just using the shower in his neighbor’s apartment. Nothing to worry about. But Yugyeom was freaking out.
The two of them had been across-the-hall neighbors for almost 8 months now, and Yugyeom was harboring a serious crush for every single day of those 8 months.
Yugyeom was already living in his apartment when Jinyoung moved in, and he helped Jinyoung move in. He just happened to be returning to his apartment when Jinyoung was moving a box upstairs and looked like he seriously needed help. Yugyeom wanted to say it’s because he’s a good neighbor and a nice person, but honestly if he had seen Jinyoung through the peep hole that day he might have stayed in all day just out of embarrassment. Jinyoung had him blushing like a school boy that day they met, but luckily Yugyeom could blame the redness displayed across his cheeks on physical exertion and not physical attraction.
And so, 8 months down the line, Yugyeom is still sporting his childlike crush and Jinyoung is still oblivious as ever. The two have never hung out much but they see each other often and Jinyoung has always been friendly to Yugyeom, which honestly made matters even worse.
Yugyeom’s infatuation with Jinyoung was bad enough when it was purely based on the fact that Jinyoung may be the most aesthetically pleasing human being on planet Earth, but when Yugyeom realized how friendly and thoughtful Jinyoung was… well, there was no turning back.
So here he was sitting on his couch, looking like an absolute mess, while the guy he has been in love with for a good part of a year now is in his apartment, in his shower. Not only is he a physical mess but Yugyeom is pretty sure he’s a hormonal mess now too.
Yugyeom decided the best thing he could do in this situation was simply to distract himself until Jinyoung finished up and left, so he went to the kitchen and made some tea before he resumed watching the drama he was watching before he heard the knock on his apartment door.
Luckily he really was really into this drama so it didn’t take long before he managed to get completely lost in it again, effectively drowning out the sound of the water running in the room down the hallway. He didn’t hear when the water stopped running, or even when Jinyoung opened the door to walk into the main living area of the apartment.
Yugyeom’s eyes were glued to the screen when he heard Jinyoung clear his throat and he jumped slightly before he turned to look at the older boy, regretting the decision almost instantly. Jinyoung’s hair was still damp and dripping onto a grey t-shirt that was hugging his torso slightly from also being wet. Yugyeom hoped he wasn’t too obvious as his eyes trailed down lower to the overly baggy black sweatpants and Daffy Duck slippers. Daffy Duck slippers. Yeah, Yugyeom was pretty sure Jinyoung was the cutest person he had ever seen.
“Thanks again for letting me use your shower, Yugyeom-ah! I really appreciate it.” Jinyoung said, running his fingers through his hair and smiling. He looked embarrassed but Yugyeom just chalked it up to the awkward situation they were both in.
“Ah… yeah, you’re welcome hyung. Don’t worry about it. But…” Jinyoung’s lips formed into a tight line but he didn’t look away from Yugyeom. “But what, Yugyeom-ah?” “Where are you going in such a rush, hyung?” Yugyeom asked.
“Oh umm… I have a date, actually.” “Oh! Well, I shouldn’t keep you from that then. Good luck, Jinyoung-hyung.” Yugyeom replied half-heartedly. He honestly felt a bit sick to his stomach from hearing it.
“Yeah so umm… thanks again for letting me use your shower. I’ll go back to my apartment now and finish getting ready. Bye Yugyeom-ah. Talk to you later maybe?” Jinyoung’s voice was low and he almost sounded apologetic even though he hadn’t done anything wrong. It’s not like he knew how Yugyeom felt about him. “Bye Jinyoung-hyung. And sure, we can talk later.” Yugyeom replied with a smile that he hoped didn’t look as fake as it felt.
Yugyeom didn’t even bother changing out of his soiled clothing after that encounter. It didn’t matter how nice he looked anymore because the only person he was looking at was looking at someone else. He didn’t feel like putting in the effort to really do anything at all. He didn’t even bother cooking himself dinner. He just sat on the couch like he had for the past hour and a half since Jinyoung left his apartment.
In all honesty Yugyeom would have just sulked on the couch until he was hungry enough to make ramyeon but his time was cut short due to yet another knock on the door. Yugyeom probably would have ignored the knock all together but he was still waiting on that package so he went to open it, this time not bothering to check the peep hole.
When he opened the door this time it was Jinyoung yet again, except this time he looked way too good and Yugyeom felt incredibly jealous that he got dressed up this well to go on a date with someone else. But then it dawned on him that it had only been an hour and a half and, considering some of that time had to have been spent on Jinyoung getting ready and travelling to and from the date location, the date must have been very short or… “I got stood up.” Jinyoung said flatly, as if reading Yugyeom’s mind.
“Oh…” was all Yugyeom could say. Any bit of glumness he was feeling before that moment was quickly replaced with anger at whoever this person was that stood up Jinyoung. How could anyone not show up for a date with the gorgeous guy standing in front of him? Yugyeom was a mixture of baffled and furious.
“I’m sorry for coming to you again… I was just feeling bad and I didn’t have anyone else to hang out with. I like spending time with you, Yugyeom-ah.” Jinyoung confessed with that same apologetic look he had earlier. Yugyeom swallowed because just knowing that Jinyoung liked spending time with him felt so good.
Jinyoung seemed to take Yugyeom’s silence as annoyance or rejection and he started to back away from the door but Yugyeom snapped out of it as soon as he noticed Jinyoung retreating. “It’s okay hyung, really. Come in. I was just upset that someone did that to you, that’s all.” Yugyeom said as he stepped out of the doorway to let Jinyoung in.
Yugyeom quickly made more tea and sat down on the couch next to Jinyoung with the two mugs in tow. It was then that Jinyoung finally calmed down and looked less upset, and Yugyeom noted again just how nice he looked. He was dressed slightly different than normal. Usually he would be wearing khakis and a button up but today he had on dark-wash skinny jeans that showed off his legs and ass so nicely, and a pastel pink sweatshirt. His jet black hair was tousled slightly instead of how he normally just brushed it. Jinyoung was absolutely gorgeous, and Yugyeom was absolutely whipped.
“I’m sorry that you went through all that trouble hyung. You do look nice though.” Yugyeom said boldly and he watched what he thought might have been a blush form on Jinyoung’s face. “Thanks, Yugyeomie. The guy didn’t even send me a text or anything… I’m still really sorry for dragging you into my personal problems.” Jinyoung apologized yet again.
“Honestly hyung it’s fine. I like hanging out with you too so it’s fine with me… I’m just sorry that he stood you up because you must have been really wanting to see him.” Yugyeom said, even if it hurt to admit out loud. As much as Jinyoung was rushing to get there on time, he must have really liked whoever the guy was.
Jinyoung didn’t nod his head though. Actually he looked a bit perplexed by what Yugyeom had said. “What makes you you think I really wanted to see him?” Jinyoung asked.
“Well I mean with the way you were rushing to get ready so you could be there on time, you must have really wanted to be on time for the date, right?” Yugyeom asked, and Jinyoung’s eyes widened slightly before he looked down at his socks. “That’s not really it, but okay…” he heard Jinyoung mumble.
“What is it then? Why were you in such a rush hyung? I wasn’t upset that you asked to use my shower… you didn’t have to rush.” Jinyoung raised his head to look at Yugyeom and he shook his head “That’s not it either… honestly it’s nothing, Yugyeomie. Don’t worry about it okay?” Jinyoung said and he smiled at Yugyeom but it was as fake as the one Yugyeom wore earlier when he found out Jinyoung had a date.
“No really. You can tell me, hyung. What was wrong earlier?” Yugyeom said as he placed a hand on Jinyoung’s shoulder for reassurance. Jinyoung sighed and his shoulders dropped. “Honestly I was hoping to get out of your apartment without you finding out I had a date.”
Yugyeom cocked his head to the side and Jinyoung averted his gaze. “Why does it matter if I knew you had a date or not, hyung?” Jinyoung chewed on his bottom lip as he responded. “I didn’t really think there was ever a chance of it but if you ever wanted to… be more than friends, I didn’t want you to think I was unavailable.” Jinyoung muttered.
“What? Hyung, you want to… with me? Really?” Yugyeom’s voice had gotten shaky and it was almost the level of a whisper by the time he finished his question, but Jinyoung understood and he nodded quickly.
“I’ve really liked you since I moved here but honestly it always seems like you were avoiding me. I thought maybe you figured out that I liked you and you didn’t feel the same way so you were staying at a distance. So a friend of mine finally convinced me to try dating but I still didn’t want to let you know what was going on.” Jinyoung confessed. His face was tomato red and he was twiddling his thumbs.
“Hyung that’s not it!” Yugyeom blurted out and Jinyoung’s eyes shot to his. “I was avoiding you because I was embarrassed too... because I like you too. I always get so flustered when I’m around you. Today when you came and asked to use my shower I was so embarrassed because I had – actually, still have a giant jjajangmyeon stain on my shirt and I felt like a slob. I was going to change into something decent but then you said you had a date so I didn’t see the point because the only person I wanted to look good for was you.”
Jinyoung listened intently to every word Yugyeom said but soon he started laughing and his face scrunched up in that adorable way that Yugyeom loved. “We’re so dumb.” Jinyoung said, still laughing away.
Finally Jinyoung calmed down and looked at Yugyeom with a sincere smile. “All that time we both wanted to be together and both of us were too shy to say anything. What a waste.” Yugyeom laughed and nodded in agreement. “What now though?” Jinyoung asked.
“Well… how about I get changed and take you on the date you deserve, hyung?” Yugyeom said, smirking. “I’ll wait right here on this couch for you, Yugyeom-ah. Don’t take too long though, okay? I think I’ve waited long enough tonight.” Both of them laughed again before Yugyeom went back to his room and changed.
As soon as he stepped back into his living room, Jinyoung looked him over shamelessly and smirked. “I guess now I don’t have to be so subtle about checking you out, huh?” Jinyoung asked, and Yugyeom shrugged. “Same goes for me then.”
As they walked down the hallway to leave their apartment complex, Yugyeom decided to take one more bold move that night and he took Jinyoung’s hand into his own. When Jinyoung took it a step further and interlaced their fingers, Yugyeom felt like he was on cloud nine.
“I never thought I’d say this, but I’m glad you got stood up tonight by that guy, hyung.” Yugyeom said, and Jinyoung quickly gasped. “Don’t say things like that, you brat!” he snapped, but he was smiling at the same time and Yugyeom knew he was just playing. “I’m glad too, Yugyeomie.” Jinyoung said as he squeezed Yugyeom’s hand a bit tighter.

His words broke Jinyoung out of his rage, sobering him a little. He realised he’d been an ass. Yugyeom had hurt him, yes, but he was supposed to be the adult.
As much as Yugyeom had upset him, he still shouldn’t have been so petty.

“Look, you just gotta pull up somewhere on the side of the road, pop the bonnet and wait for some guy to pull over and tell you what’s wrong.” Bambam had told Jinyoung as they got their coffee earlier that morning. “Make sure you look as skanky as possible, to draw attention to yourself.”

“Youngjae? What are you doing here?” Jinyoung mumbled, closing his eyes again as he shifted back towards sleep.
“Hyung I can’t sleep.” The younger boy said, his whine muffled by the duvet over his face.
