when first discovering the cavern, dowon didn’t visit it often after that initial time. he had gotten what he wanted out of the place — repairs and a new system upgrade. but then his fuck up with taehyun tore him to shreds and he thought, maybe, his heart was malfunctioning. he’d wanted to ask yejun that day, but he either missed him or came in on a day the other wasn’t around. that day, he met jae. it helped him a lot meeting jae, whether or not the other is aware of it.
now, it’s second nature heading into the cavern and heading right for jae’s area. sometimes he’s on a laptop, but today is his usual work space — a desktop computer with various windows open, fingers typing away. those pink headphones set jae apart from the others working at desks; they’re what drew dowon to him to begin with. he’s not sure if they’re the same as two years ago, but they seem to be ageless.
he grabs a rolling stool and sits down on it by the edge of jae’s desk. he doesn’t always interrupt jae when he’s working, sometimes just sitting here quietly is enough to entertain dowon, but today he really wants jae’s attention. it doesn’t take him long to scoot a little closer, until jae’s arm brushes against him as he works, then he pauses and waits. nothing. a gentle tug on jae’s hoodie, then dowon’s resting his hands in his lap, still watching him expectantly, a little smile on his lips. he knows jae can’t resist now.
