Title: Cameras
Pairing: Taeyang/Perry (not important to the story)
Genre: Humor
Rating: PG
A/N: I saw the studio cameras on 2NE1 TV and had to do something with them. 8D; (So yes, the cameras-in-the-studios thing is true, and the monitor for them is indeed set up right on YG's desk.)
"Max," Perry said as he stalked into Min Suk's office, looking wary and more than a little annoyed. "What the hell is that Korean guy with the ladder and the camera doing in my studio?"
Min Suk smiled despite himself and tried to hide it behind his computer screen. He found it pretty amusing that Perry still said things like "that Korean guy" after living in Seoul for over a decade, as if the distinction was somehow meaningful. "Hyun Suk wanted to have a few cameras installed in the building."
"You're fucking joking, right?"
"I tried to talk him out of it," Min Suk replied apologetically. He didn't mind much - there wouldn't be any cameras in his office, after all - but he could imagine what Perry and his boyfriend got up to in that studio when they had some time to themselves. He wouldn't want Hyun Suk spying on him, either. "Sorry."
Perry stared at him for a moment, then sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "'S all right." He spun around and left, shaking his head and muttering to himself. Min Suk hoped that Korean guy had a firm grip on his ladder.

"Are you done now?" Young Bae asked, hovering behind him.
Perry spared a glance at him before looking back to his screen. "Almost."
Young Bae waited about thirty seconds before draping his arms over his shoulders and leaning down to nuzzle his ear. "Are you done now?"
"... Yeah. Gimme a minute."
He sighed against his ear, then stretched out his arm, grabbed the computer mouse, and hit "save". Perry gave up, grinning, and tilted his head back. "Guess I'm done. You on break or something?"
Young Bae nodded. "Forty-five minutes," he said as he spun his chair around and pulled insistently on his arm. "I missed you."
He let Young Bae lead him to the more comfortable seats at the back of the room, and they were ten minutes into a very nice make-out session when he suddenly pulled away and looked up, frowning. "... Is the camera on?"
"Yeah. It's always on." Perry watched Young Bae blush and tightened his hold on him when he tried to pull away. "C'mon, he ain't gonna watch."
There was a long silence during which Young Bae shifted uncomfortably, glancing at the camera. "... We could go have coffee or something," he finally suggested, looking sheepish.
Perry didn't have the heart to force him to do something he wasn't comfortable with. He did, however, make a mental note to locate a hardware store. Preferably today.

Hyun Suk frowned to himself as Young Bae and Perry walked out of the studio. They'd stopped just before things had gotten really interesting, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
It wasn't like he'd installed the cameras to spy on his staff. He just wanted to make sure his trainees were doing what they were supposed to without having to interrupt his own work and check on them in person. That was a very valid reason for the cameras to be there, and getting to see Dae Sung work out or Young Bae and Perry make out or Ji Yong give his stylist handjobs in the dance studio were completely unintended consequences.
He usually switched to another camera when he noticed things like that - he really wasn't a pervert or anything. Perry and Young Bae, though, looked so hot together that he kept... forgetting. He did feel a little bit guilty about it, sometimes, but it looked like Young Bae had just put an end to his moral conflict by realizing the camera was there.
He drummed his fingers on his desk for a moment, considering his options, then sighed and opened a new tab in his web browser, pulling up his favorite porn site.

Min Suk snuck into his brother's apartment and turned on the computer before sitting down at his desk. Hyun Suk was asleep, and Min Suk had decided to take the opportunity to fix a computer problem he'd been complaining about for a few days. He would've been happy to let Jinu do it (as usual), but he was currently in America, and his attempt at directing Hyun Suk over the phone hadn't been very successful.
He looked at the monitor next to the computer screen curiously. It showed the dance studio, in which 2NE1 were apparently working on their latest choreography. The computer was still booting up. It really was slow - Hyun Suk must've picked up some spyware again - so Min Suk reached out to switch to a different camera while he waited.
He blinked when he saw Perry struggle to walk into his studio with a stepladder in his hands and something tucked under one arm. He grinned and kept an eye on him as he typed in Hyun Suk's password. He looked seriously bent out of shape, and that was always kind of entertaining to watch. Not that Min Suk would ever say that to his face.
He looked away to start up a spyware remover, and when he looked at the monitor again, Perry's face was inches from the camera. He raised his hand, glaring, and Min Suk barely had time to recognize the can of spray paint for what it was before the screen went black.
He stared at the blank monitor for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.

Hyun Suk walked into his office the following day, looking confused, and Min Suk nearly lost it again. He was pretty sure what his brother wanted to ask him about.
"Hi," he said. "... Did you do something to my monitor when you fixed my computer?"
Min Suk shook his head. "Why?"
"Well, I guess one of the cameras isn't working. It was fine before I went to bed, but now I can't see anything."
"Oh?"
Hyun Suk nodded gravely. "Do you think you could get someone to come and repair it? It's the one in Perry's studio."
"I'll do that," Min Suk replied, and managed to wait until Hyun Suk had left before breaking into a grin. On impulse, he minimized what he'd been working on and started up his e-mail client. He was sure Perry would be happy to know his tampering had gone unnoticed - by Hyun Suk, anyway.
