Chapter Text
“Say, I think we will be a good couple because I can feel myself I will fall for you day by day. How will you say?”
It’s not everyday ocasion you’ve got a stranger confessed to you out of nowhere. Eventhough that stranger was handsome, had a beautiful eyes, and a warm smile which felt like home. No, definitely not in Jihoon’s life so far. So of course he’s very surprised, maybe a bit flustered.
“Don’t you think asking my name first will sound more normal?”
“So will you give your name to me? Eventhough I’m just fine calling you beautiful.” Said Seungcheol who still had smile on.
Wow finally i’ve met someone who is a biggest flirt beside Kim Mingyu..
“Well I’m sure I will not answer you because that’s not my name.”
“I’m Seungcheol. What’s your name?” you can’t really deny that smile really..
“Jihoon.”
“Jihoon... nice name. I like you more.”
Jihoon couldn’t help but being flustered because damn how nice the sound of his name being said by Seungcheol. It’s like a music to his ear. This didn’t make sense at all but well that’s how he felt, really.
“Say Jihoon, would you like a cup of coffee?”
Usually Jihoon would denied or simply ignored it. He’s an unsocial guy you see. His circle of friends were quite small. But there’s something in Seungcheol that made Jihoon’s curious and attracted to this guy so he said yes. It’s not only because Seungcheol’s smile was so nice to see. No, he believed there’re more reasons for breaking his usual chara.
They went into the convinience store to buy cups of coffee and spent some time there talking. Their conversation going so well, Seungcheol’s a fun guy to hang out with. He liked playing games too. Jihoon then just realized it’s been 2 hours and he remembered about his awaiting works so he reluctantly said to Seungcheol he had to go. He didn’t forget to buy some snacks, before he could get his wallet out, Seungcheol beat him by paying for them.
“No. Why would you?”
“Just let me so I have more reasons to ask you to hang out with me again.” Seungcheol said while having a smug smile on his face.
“Hahaha, for real?”
“Certainly, and i love your laugh the most.”
God, this guy... Jihoon hated it but he was certain his face turned pink like his hair color.
He watched Jihoon’s retreated back with a full smile on his face. They exchanged number before Jihoon went home. After their hang out, Seungcheol was almost certain he has fallen for the guy already.
Seungcheol was popular. He met with so many people who fawn on him and wanted him as their boyfriend. He’d been in so many relationship before but what he felt for Jihoon was entirely different. It was something new. Thus made him thinking if he was really in love with his previous partners because of course he was. He was attracted to them as well so what’s really that made his encounter with Jihoon different?
Then he just realized, he felt so ease while being together with Jihoon. They didn’t even talk about Seungcheol being so damn rich eventhough he’s still so young like his life could only happen in drama or novel. He could be himself. Choi Seungcheol without a big expectation and burden on his shoulders. He can relax and he felt like home. He’s comfortable with Jihoon’s company. It’s a bit scary for he just knew Jihoon for a couple of hours but his presence was already inside his comfort zone.
He opened his smartphone and texted Jihoon after he was back at his hotel room.

Old man.
“GOD, finally!” Jihoon’s resting his head back and slumped on his chair. Finally he finished the album for Mingyu’s comeback. After reaching home from his meeting with Seungcheol he started working on the 3 songs he needed to finish and it’s like raining, he got so many inspiration and going on mode. Whenever he’s on mode, his attention and thought will solely for producing and composition. He barely remembered Mingyu and Soonyoung dropped by to give him foods because they knew him so well.
Ah, i need to inform Mingyu and his agency so we can start the recording soon...
When he opened his smartphone, which was out of battery of course so he needed to charge it before hand, there’re so many notifications came flooding in. He checked at least 17 messages from Mingyu and Soonyoung reminding him to eat some food, take a bath, and take some rest in between. He felt so warm inside when he read all of those and couldn’t help but smiled. Other notifications were from his agency, Mingyu’s agency, some coupon discount offers and Seungcheol. He opened Seungcheol’s texts one by one.

Eventhough he’s not completely wrong tho...
Jihoon looked at his phone, it showed 2016/09/15 08.00 KST. He texted Mingyu and informed Mingyu’s manager as well that he finished the album. He got replied right after from Mingyu that said how excited he was and wanted to meet him asap to give him some hugs. But unfortunately, he still had some photoshoot going on and probably only could meet him tonight or worse tomorrow. So Jihoon texted him back to just meet him tomorrow afternoon because he needed some nice sleep as well.

Morning, Cheol.
After so much typed and deleted words, he went for “Morning, Cheol” because he just love to call his name instead following the demand Seungcheol asked for calling him hyung as it supposed to be and clicked the send button.
