Chapter Text
1. Jaebum
After he started dating Bambam, Yugyom found himself becoming a bit more of a homebody, spending more time snuggling with his boyfriend in his room or on the couch when none of the other members were in the dorm.
Unfortunately, due to their idol lives, their schedules never seemed to coincide. Whenever one was off work, the other wouldn't even show up at the dorm. Therefore, Yugyom started becoming a homebody, and on days when they both had time off, they preferred to stay home together, even though they couldn't show as much affection as they wanted because they still wanted to keep it a secret.
The two weren't exactly afraid of what their older brothers had found; they were sure that they would accept them as they were and love them very much, without highlighting the fact that Jackson and Jinyoung were probably hiding something from each other, but nothing that could be proven yet. What made them not want to reveal it yet was the consequences that could arise if something about them ended up getting out to the company or the public, after all, a homosexual relationship isn't always welcome in Korea.
(...)
It was seven in the morning when Yugyom ran his hand over the sheets and missed Bambam's warm body. In a sleepy state, the youngest member of the band gets up and picks up a shirt that was lying on the floor. As soon as he starts walking, Yugyom feels his legs aching; he smiles as he remembers the previous night.
The two finally had a break, and coincidentally, the other members had packed schedules, meaning the dorm was all theirs. Yugyom sleepily opened the door, not caring that he was only wearing underwear and Bambam's old shirt, which was haphazardly thrown on the floor. The dorm was silent, meaning they hadn't arrived yet, even though it was already morning.
It was normal for the others to choose to stay in a nearby hotel when they had many photo and video shoots to record, especially if it was in another city or island, so this meant that, for the moment, the dorm was all theirs.
They remain like that for a few minutes, until Bambam breaks the hug and picks up the wooden spoon he was using to prepare what he's cooking. Slowly, he dips it into the pan and then points it towards his boyfriend.
"This is amazing!" Excited, he hugs his boyfriend and kisses him.
What was supposed to be just a peck turned into a deeper kiss. Bambam drops the spoon carelessly on the counter behind him and squeezes the younger man's waist during the kiss. They both walk to the kitchen table and Bambam sets Yugyom down on it, the younger man pulling his boyfriend by the neck, deepening the kiss even more.
"Hey!" A voice from the doorway echoes, making the couple quickly separate. But it already seemed too late when Yugyom sees Jaebum in the kitchen doorway, looking at him with a questioning gaze.
The younger man, in his underwear and shirt, sitting the table while Bambam, shirtless, leans against the counter near the stove, slightly out of breath. They can still feel the sensation of the kiss they shared seconds before.
The adrenaline rush still gripped them both; perhaps they were caught before they could separate, or maybe Jaebum was starting to suspect something. Assumptions began to fill their minds, leaving them nervous and on high alert.
Yugyom swallows hard and stammers, trying to answer, but luckily Bambam is faster and answers for both of them.
"He just woke up, he was cooking Thai food for breakfast. Why don't you sit down and eat too, Hyung? It's delicious." Quickly, as if by magic, Bambam appears in front of Jaebum without giving him any time to respond. With a spoon, the Thai man points towards the leader's mouth. "Try it." He doesn't even wait for the older man to open his mouth and puts the contents in.
Jaebum, still suspicious, tastes what the younger man offered, but then the taste of the food makes him completely forget what he was going to say.
"It's great, I'll just leave my bag in my room and sit with you. By the way..." This "by the way" makes the younger men hold their breath. That's it... they've been caught. "I'm home," Jaebum smiles at the two and leaves the kitchen. The couple looks at each other with an air of relief and smiles. "And don't climb on the table again, are you listening, Yugyom?" From the hallway, Yugyom hears the leader's voice echoing like thunder.
They hear Jaebum's bedroom door close and Yugyom finally feels he can breathe.
"That was a close one," Bambam says, and the younger one simply agrees. The two begin setting the table for breakfast, still adding subtle touches as they always do, needing to show they are there for each other.
