Practice has been going well. They’re pretty much free to do what they want today, some decide to stay in the company, others to go back to the dorm. Sunghoon is one of them.
He nods towards Sunoo and Jungwon who are eating at the counter while he takes out a bottle, analyzing the content of the fridge and wondering if he’s hungry enough to reheat some food or maybe order in.
It’s been some time...
“Why a tongue piercing though,” Jungwon asks, cheeks still full and Sunoo gives him a less impressed glance.
No, Sunghoon decides, gulping down his water. Not hungry enough.
“It’s easy dearest Jungwonnie~ Jay hyung has one and is pretty content with it,” he explains cheerfully while Sunghoon spits out the water, coughing violently and life flashing before his eyes.
“You good hyung,” Jungwon asks innocently, small lips set in a pout while Sunoo grins, definitely knowing why he’s dying on the kitchen floor and not lifting a single finger to help.
“Yeah, don’t worry,” he answers, even if they already went back to their conversation.
*
So Sunghoon might have a problem.
Since the revelation of Jay plus tongue piercing, Sunghoon has been trying to catch glimpses.
But he’s a) not subtle and b) hopeless.
It turns into an obsession pretty quickly and he still tries to excuse it with being curious and only wanting to see it once to get over it, easy peasy. Also he's annoyed how apparently everyone and their mother knew except him, Jay’s best friend. He takes huge pride in the fact!
“You could always ask him, oppa,” Wonyoung proposes, refreshing her pink lipgloss, smacking her lips loudly before powdering her face, nodding satisfied with the outcome.
Sunghoon licks over his lips, maybe he should use some gloss too, his lips have been getting dryer these days. It has nothing to do with him watching Jay more intensely and biting on them.
“That’s weird, Wonyoung–ah~”
She gives him the same look Sunoo blesses him daily with, exasperated with a splash of disgust.
“Weirder than asking him to sleep with you?” She giggles at his baffled expression, eyes smiling cutely.
“You know I didn’t mean it like that! It’s actually his fault,” he defends hotly. “I was fine sleeping alone but then he sneaked next to me in bed like a cat every night and now I’m missing body heat so he needs to take responsibility!”
“And instead of pestering Jungwonnie or Niki, you decide to go into a whole other room or drag Jay oppa back to yours?”
“You know what,” Sunghoon splutters, ears and cheeks on fire. “You’re no help at all! Everyone always says make friends outside your group but they don’t know how mean everyone is,” he whines, bottom lip pushed out but Wonyoung rolls her eyes unimpressed.
“Oppa, get yourself together and stop being this ridiculous, otherwise your man might get stolen.” Her voice is stern but Sunghoon wonders if she’s still speaking korean.
“Stolen,” he repeats in wonder.
“Ne Jay oppa is sought after~ Have you seen him? Don’t tell me you’re not only stupid but also blind?”
*
“Jongseong–ah,” a voice calls and Sunghoon’s shoulders tense. Jay turns around and smiles widely when he recognizes Yeonjun.
“What’s up hyung,” he greets, laughing when the older doesn’t hesitate to pull him into a tight hug. Sunghoon smooths his expression out when Yeonjun hugs him too, less enthusiastic.
Yeonjun seems to brim with excitement. “Did you have the chance to listen,” he asks and Sunghoon is aghast at the shy expression on his hyung’s usually confident face.
Jay nods his head. “Yeah! I really like the flow and verses~ I hope it gets approved for the next comeback.” Oh, Sunghoon didn’t realize they’re this close. While Soobin writes him from time to time and gives advice every time Sunghoon asks him to, their relationship is still more on the surface, sunbae and hoobae.
Not whatever this is.
“Cool.” Yeonjun seems genuinely glad, the slightly arrogant look back on his face. “If it does, I’ll let you know to feature!”
Jay seems as shocked as Sunghoon. “W–What hyung? No way, there are way better options, your friends–” “Will have the chance if I can envision them sometime, this one screams for a YeonJay collab~” He winks and Sunghoon really wonders what's the point of him being here.
“Uhm if you’re sure…”
“Yeah, anyway I need to go and Sunghoon here looks as if he needs to take a big shit. See ya Jjongsaeng,” he chuckles and Sunghoon drops his act.
“You really look unwell, are you fine Sunghoonie,” Jay asks him concerned and Sunghoon sighs, not at all happy to have seen Yeonjun glance down Jay’s chest and arms twelve times in their five minute conversation.
Jay’s eyes are up in his face, that’s so rude of him.
“Only I am allowed to call you Jjongsaeng,” he says instead, not caring he sounds like a petulant child, pouting when Jay bumps his shoulder, laughing at him.
“Maybe you should’ve used it less in front of everyone then~,” he teases. Their hands brushing while walking is a small comfort. “But you’ll always be the first person who made me not hate it anymore, instead associating it with good feelings. When it's from Sunghoonie, I know it comes from a place of love.”
“Shut up, you’re so cringe,” Sunghoon scoffs, trying to hide his red ears behind his hair.
Jay doesn’t reply, his hand lingers a moment longer against Sunghoon’s.
*
And it’s I–Land all over again. Sunghoon remembers his members telling him how Jay was jealous of everyone getting close to him but honestly it’s been mutual. Especially when he’s around older trainees. Despite his cold appearance and sharp angles, Jay is very warm, caring and cute. Naturally you want to take care of him.
But that’s Sunghoon’s duty. He is his one and only.
So it’s normal for him to sit on Jay’s bed and squish the plushie Kai gifted him between his hands, careful not to destroy it accidentally.
“What,” he barks when he catches Jake staring again but he just shakes his head.
“You know you got your own room?”
“Just like how you sleep more in hyung’s than here?”
Jake closes his mouth. “Weirdo,” he mutters under his breath, forgetting Sunghoon has exceptional hearing when he’s pissed off.
“I swear to god if you don’t sh–”
“Woah, woah, woah, what’s wrong guys,” Jay says coming through the door, eyebrows furrowed and Sunghoon stares at his exposed arms an unhealthy amount of time.
“Nothing, your dog has been getting on my nerves.”
Alright, this has been going for far too long. He really needs just one serious fight with Jake.
Jay gives Jake a stern glance and he pouts. For calling Sunghoon a dog, he sure folds with one look.
“How was it,” Sunghoon asks, putting the plushie neatly back to the other’s. “Filming with Jun sunbae,” he adds when Jay doesn’t answer and Jake groans, probably understanding his behavior now.
“Oh great! He’s so fun and a great dancer, glad I got the chance to meet hyung again and I’m sure Engenes will love the result!” Sunghoon tries hard not to glance down his body to the pants he anonymously petitioned for to be burned since they’re more revealing than stupid Park Jongseong believes them to be.
Jungwon just laughed in his face even if there was no name written on it.
“Yeah they will love your bod–arm–dic–I mean your dance skills haha.” Sunghoon ignores the retching sounds Jake makes. “Hope you don’t forget us when you’re famous.”
“Sunghoon–ah,” Jay starts hesitantly but Sunghoon feels stupid enough already, so he stands up and brushes past him.
*
Now apart from being obsessed, Sunghoon’s mood soured a lot realizing Jay really is more loved nowadays. Which is great at first glance since everyone should love Jay, he’s handsome, talented, lovely, caring, educated, smart and perfect overall.
But he’s also Sunghoon’s.
Like his best friend and all.
He remembers when he told Jay to look at him more in a live where he tilted his head confused and went “But we’re together twenty four? ”
Sometimes Sunghoon wonders if he’s the only one having this desperate feeling of wanting to be together with Jay forever, as close as possible. It’s as if there’s an itch all over his body, wating to be scratched.
“Am I annoying him like all the others,” he wonders aloud. Maybe this is the reason he didn’t tell him…
“Are you moping around again, Sunghoon–ah? Great, then you can accompany me to the gym, I asked for some time off for us,” Jay speaks from above him and Sunghoon blinks, not wanting to admit he nearly pissed his pants. He was so lost in thoughts he didn’t realize his friend arrived.
“You coming,” he says when Sunghoon just stares at him like a confused puppy. Jay rolls his eyes and manhandles him up, even fixing his shirt. “There, now be a good boy and get your bag. I want to get some nice sleep too~.” Jay gives him a lazy smirk before sauntering off to put his shoes on.
Sunghoon gulps, walking to his room and picking up his gym bag. Niki looks up from his switch and scrunches his nose. “With Jay hyung,” he asks and for a second he wonders if their maknae will jump up and join them as soon as Sunghoon nods but he glances back down, not interested anymore.
“Cool, have fun.”
This is what happens when the youngest hyper fixates on one hyung more. Right now he’s all over Jungwon so what they do is none of his concern.
“Thanks."

So finding out if Jay has a tongue piercing while working out is extremely hard.
Because Sunghoon gets distracted easily.
Right now he’s watching the sweat run down Jay’s neck, escaping under his sleeveless shirt which gives him front row seats to muscles flexing every time he raises the dumbbells. And he’s so tanned. Sunghoon grew up with people being jealous of his pale skin, aunties complimenting him for something he has no power over and even while getting casted all staff members made sure to tell what a huge advantage it is.
Truly worthy of the Ice Prince title.
So naturally Sunghoon also thought pale skin makes you superior in a way but his views changed after meeting Jay and Heeseung. Especially Jay with his honey, healthy golden tan and Sunghoon remembers how ashamed he was first hearing the Black and White title because people tend to use dark skin as an insult.
Jay on the other hand smiled brightly and put their arms next to each other. Sunghoon tried to ignore the flutter the soft touch causes.
“Look, we really are Black and White! And not only our skin but the way we dress and our characteristics and still, they can’t help but see us as one! Do you know what that means? Despite all odds, we match well. We work so well together they can’t help but acknowledge our connection and isn’t that the most awesome feeling ever?” Sunghoon nodded because Jay expected him too, even if for Sunghoon the best feeling was whenever he’s with Jay but he guesses that’s also implied.
“–hoon, are you alright? Ya, listen to me when I speak.” Jay’s annoyed voice brings him out of his reverie and he stares down at Jay who’s squatting in front of him, hand on his thigh and Sunghoon feels his cheek heat up, grateful he can use sweat and training as an excuse.
“Huh?”
Jay sighs. “What am I going to do with you,” he mumbles before squeezing his thigh and the light catches something. Sunghoon’s eyes widen at the realization.
The tongue piercing.
It’s real.
Sunghoon is about to hyperventilate. There’s always been this slight chance Sunoo has been fucking around with him because he’s awful like that and Jungwon says amen to anything Sunoo does. But nope not this time.
The ball is golden, at least he thinks it is because Sunghoon is pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to answer the simplest math questions right now.
Nobody ask him what color the walls are.
“You wanna touch it?”
Sunghoon is sure he’s hearing things now on top too, so why is Jay watching him quietly, pushing the piercing up to show the stem, all cool like a cucumber while Sunghoon feels the cold sweat run down his body in gallons.
“What,” Sunghoon asks dumbly and instead of getting angry, Jay grins incredibly fond, squeezing his thigh again before pushing him down on the bench gently, so he’s laying on his back and sits on his hips which in hindsight it’s the most torturing thing he could’ve done because Sunghoon is already half hard and he’s pretty sure Jay knows if his shit eating grin is anything to go by.
It’s not his fault, working out always makes him horny. It has definitely nothing to do with his hot trainingspartner who might or might’ve not been his gay awakening, showing Sunghoon he isn’t as straight as he believed to be.
Semantics.
“My piercing duh~ You ramble when you’re nervous but I’ve been noticing how you watched my mouth more than usual, so I got confused until I realized you’re trying to see inside,” Jay explains calmly, coming closer with every spoken word and Sunghoon faintly wonders if his heart is supposed to race this hard, nearly jumping out of his chest to escape this ridiculous situation of Jay being aware he’s going crazy over a piece of metal in another man’s mouth.
However Jay is even more handsome up close, like this he can count every single mole, freckle and lash. To Sunghoon, Jay is sculpted by the gods, his features never stop mesmerizing him, his sharp jawline, everything that makes Jay Jay.
“You’re so handsome it’s unfair,” Sunghoon groans, annoyed and Jay’s grin only widens, confirming his suspicions.
“Oh, hearing that from the Ice Prince personally, what an honor~.”
His minty breath on his skin paired with the intoxicating scent of his perfume, he used Tobacco Vanille today for whatever reason other than driving Sunghoon crazy, is enough to cloud his mind but he still can’t keep down the scoff, surprising Jay.
“If I’m the Ice Prince, you’re obviously the Fire King.” Sunghoon cringes visibly.
Oh god, what the fuck is he even saying?
“You’re such a dumb puppy but so cute it's killing me.” Jay licks his lips, ball making a reappearance. Sunghoon's mind is going puppy, puppy, puppy in a sick mantra. “I’m not sure how much longer I can hold back, so do you wanna touch the piercing and see for yourself,” he asks, opening his mouth and Sunghoon’s throat burns, the words not making any sense, the piercing so pretty, so shiny, so close.
Puppy, cute, idiot, touch–
“Touch,” he repeats, eyes glued on Jay’s pink, wet tongue.
Jay hums, moving closer so their lips are nearly touching, so close if Sunghoon breathes he’s sure he would feel them on his.
“When we’re french kissing you can feel for yourself or when I blow you or eat you out, it’s your choice really,” Jay whispers nonchalantly as if he's asking him for dinner recommendations and not to practically fuck him right here for science purposes and yes, Sunghoon is pretty sure their lips touched and oh my god, is this happening or another delicious wet dream he’s going to wake up all hot, bothered and frustrated from.
Sunghoon whimpers, pupils dilated. “Evil, you’re pure evil.”
“I’ll be whoever you want me to be, baby,” he replies calmly as if he doesn’t mind being this close and Sunghoon guesses he doesn’t. To Jay everything comes easy, closeness, love, even learning their new choreography and apparently seducing pure innocent boys in a company gym.
It's him, he's the pure innocent boy in a company gym.
“Can I kiss you,” Jay asks impatiently and Sunghoon tilts his head up as an answer, feeling his best friend grin slightly against his lips before moving them.
Honestly the bench isn’t the most comfortable place to make out with your crush, especially in the Hybe gym where idols have the tendency to join whenever they feel like it but Sunghoon doesn’t give a fuck when he gasps and moans into the kiss, allowing Jay to push his tongue inside and finally feel the piercing glide against his, the unknown, sudden coldness of the metal makes him shiver all over, adding Jay’s slow hip movements, Sunghoon isn’t sure he’s even alive anymore or if he wants to be.
Jay sucks on his tongue playfully, wanting Sunghoon to respond and join who shyly pushes his tongue inside Jay’s mouth, wondering if feeling on fire is normal or if he should feel concerned.
Sunghoon realizes he doesn’t care because when he opens his eyes and stares into Jay’s dark, half lidded ones, cheeks flushed and panting slightly, fire is the least of his problems.
His tongue brushes the piercing again and he writhes, remembering Jay’s other choices for exploring and if it’s too late to accept them. He hopes it wasn’t a once time offer.
Considering the sticky mess in his shorts and Jay’s surprised glance downwards, he supposes it would be for another time.
“Sorry,” Sunghoon mumbles, humiliated to the core at coming so quickly, ears burning but Jay laughs, not in a condescending way but warm and slightly hoarse. He still feels his hard on against his, it's big, Sunghoon is feeling way too dizzy and spent for coherent thoughts.
“Fuck no, don’t apologize for that. You drive me fucking insane, do you know that Park Sunghoon?”
Sunghoon makes a gurgling noise at the back of his throat, baring his neck unconsciously, Jay’s piercing, hot glance is too much for him. He looks ready to devour him right here and now. And Sunghoon is scared of how much he’s into it already, how much he wouldn't mind.
“Alas as much as I would like to continue this, Kai gave me the heads up that Taehyun and Beomgyu hyung want to stop by soon.” Sunghoon doesn’t question why their sunbae feels the need to warn his friend, trying to tone down the disappointed feeling.
Jay stands up, looking at his bulge with pursed lips before shrugging and pulling his shirt down. It doesn’t help, like at all. He's wearing the pants Sunghoon still can't decide to burn or force Jay to wear in the dorm only. His hand is held out for Sunghoon to take who doesn’t hesitate, still a bit unsteady on his feet, knees weak post orgasm and really, really hating the sticky, dirty feeling.
Jay looks at his watch. “We still have half an hour left though, want to shower together?”
Sunghoon gets flashbacks from the absolut embarrassing clip in I-Land where he stuttered and acted as if showering with Jay is the worst thing ever when it’s all they did as trainees but it’s different when you wake up horny from a wet dream starring your friend or randomly wonder how his wet body would feel rubbing against yours or dying to finally get a taste of Jay’s dick, wondering if you can swallow without gagging.
Today, Sunghoon decides, is a good day to find out.
