Chapter Text
Seungmin was exhausted. He had had vocal lessons all morning, then dance practice and then he and Minho had to attend a meeting for another radio show they might be a part of. And now, finally he and the dance leader had made it to their dorm.
He stopped with the hand on the door handle of his room and groaned. Minho. Right. He had forgotten to give the dancer his keys back.
For a few moments he silently debated whether it could wait until tomorrow. He sighed. It probably couldn’t though, not unless he wanted to risk getting woken up in the middle of the night because the older decided to get McDonalds again or visit a certain rapper in the other dorm.
He took a deep breath but then he turned back around to cross the room and knocked on Minho’s door. No-one answered. He knocked again. Nothing. Maybe Minho was showering? But then Seungmin noticed the lack of shoes by the door. He cursed. Minho must have already left the dorm, without him noticing.
Again, Seungmin thought about whether it was truly worth it to try and locate the dancer. He groaned. Minho was probably already cuddled up on the bed with his boyfriend, an activity Seungmin would much rather be partaking in with his own boyfriend as well.
But then again, he did not feel like getting woken up in the middle of the night by a returning Minho who had locked himself out. The other dorm did technically have a spare key, but someone had misplaced it in their mess weeks ago and no-one had seen it since.
That dorm was a true shit-show. He grabbed their extra keys for the other dorm from its designated spot in the kitchen and made his way over. He didn’t even bother knocking before unlocking the place and letting himself in. He had one mission and one mission only. He would locate Minho, throw him his stupid keys, turn around and wrap himself around the man who was probably already waiting for him in his bed.
But his plans were out of the window as soon as he stepped into the living room. He almost screamed. A very naked Hyunjin was kneeling between the legs of a shirtless Changbin, bopping his head in a very suspicious way that Seungmin had no interest in studying further. He had already seen way too much.
The two members however didn’t even seem to notice him.
Seungmin turned around immediately. He could draw attention to himself and shout at them for mentally scarring him forever, but honestly, he was way to tired and also way to focused on not throwing up on the spot.
“Fuck Minho.”, he thought. And went right back where he came from.
On his way back he tried his best to rid his brain of the mental images, but it didn’t work. So when he stepped into his own dorm again and Jeongin greeted him with a smile and a “There you are. I was wondering what took you so long.” He could just shake his head and sit down on the sofa.
“I can’t believe it.”, he murmured. Jeongin made his way over to him, looking genuinely concerned.
“What? Are you okay?”, he put one of his hands on his boyfriend’s shoulder.
Seungmin looked up at him. “I just walked in on Changbin and Hyunjin... in … ehm… a compromising position…”
Jeongin looked like his eyes might fall out of his head. “No way.”, he whispered. “He would never cheat on Felix.”
“That’s what I thought.” Seungmin whispered back. His eyes darted to the Australian’s room. “But I swear there was no way to misinterpret that. I saw parts of Hyunjin I very much never want to see again.”
“I can’t believe it.” Jeongin sank to the floor next to Seungmin. “Changbin adores Felix, there is literally no way he would cheat on him.”
“Well, it’s a shitty thing of Changbin to do, but Hyunjin is definitely the one at fault here.” Seungmin shook his head. “I can’t believe that he would hurt Felix in that way.”
“I mean of course Hyunjin loves Felix and everything, but who knows what Changbin told him? He probably thinks that Felix is alright with it or some stupid shit like that.”, Jeongin mumbled. He looked as heartbroken as if he was the one being cheated on.
“And why would Felix tell that to Changbin instead of his boyfriend?”, Seungmin frowned.
Now Jeongin looked at him as if he was insane. “Changbin is his boyfriend?”
Huh?! Was Jeongin blind? Had they not been in the same band for the last couple of years? “No? Felix is dating Hyunjin? And for a while now too?”
“What are you talking about? Felix is literally dating…”
“Felix is dating somebody? Who?” Minho’s loud voice came from the door. “By the way you still have my keys, don’t you? I had to take Innie’s”, the dancer walked into the room and threw a big bag of fast food on the kitchen counter. Then he dropped onto the floor next to Jeongin and looked between them expectantly. “Come on, spill the tea. Who is our Lixie dating?”
Jeongin and Seungmin answered at the same time, only that one said Changbin, while the other confidently told him Hyunjin.
That made Minho laugh. “Nah, that’s not tea. They’re not dating they’re just all hooking up.”
In that moment a cursing Jisung, who had apparently dropped some stuff in Minho’s room, appeared. “Dammit I forgot…”, he stopped when he spotted Seungmin and Jeongin. “Never mind, I’ll just go and pick it up from my room.” With that he disappeared towards the door.
“Careful there are Hyungs hooking up on the sofa, or so I have been told.”, Jeongin called after him.
In the next moment a distrustful looking Jisung remerged. “I thought they were going to Hyung’s place tonight?”
“It’s probably Hyunjin and Changbin.”, a sleepy looking Felix had left his room to join in on the conversation. “Chan drove straight to Hyung’s house.”
“Who is Hyung? Why do you know that Hyunjin and Changbin are hooking up in the other dorm? And why is everybody hooking up with everybody in this band anyways? We are the statistical exceptions of exceptions.”, Jeongin felt as if he was dizzy.
“Technically…”, Seungmin started but Jeongin turned around to glare at him: “I don’t want to hear statistics about how queer people are more likely to hang out with queer people. I am going to bed. This is too much. You are all weird.”
Before he went to bed that night, Jeongin picked up his phone to text Chan:
Private Chat:
To: Leader-Hyung
You always tell us to come to you, if we’re uncomfortable with anything. Well, I am uncomfortable with not knowing who is dating who and who is sleeping with who within the band. It creates dynamics that I want to know about.
Also, I don’t care about anyone’s kinks, I want a blanket ban on sex in common areas.
Two minutes after he had send the text, he already felt guilty about it, he had absolutely no business in knowing who everyone slept with. He grabbed his phone to delete the message but instead saw that Chan had already replied.
Private Chat:
From: Leader-Hyung
You’re right. I’ll come up with something tomorrow. We should really work on our communication.
The next day he woke up to a group chat message from the leader.
Group Chat: “It’s not straight kids”
From: Ishouldbesleeping
Hello Everyone,
You know that I don’t care about dating within the band at all, but every couple (or other arrangement) brings changes to our dynamic as a group. This is something we are all affected by. So I have scheduled a group meeting (just the 8 of us) on Friday night, to talk about who is in what relationship with who. If anyone is unsure of the nature of their relationship, you have time to discuss that until Friday.
Also: Blanket ban on sexual activities in common areas from now on.
And @Minhoe you have English today at 10 instead of 11.
