I laughed so hard about Gyu almost not hating his friends anymore. AND WOOHYUN WITH A MOUSTACHE NO PLEASE SOMEBODY STOP HIM!

“I don’t like dating. Or people.”

LOVE.

The Woogyu faux-hatred bff-ery is killing me in the best way. I can only imagine how disastrous their labs were and it delights me to no end. I’m just in love with their dialogue.

It was true that there were usually a lot of ornamental bears at those places...

I keep snickering.

He did. He asked all of them, and Dongwoo patiently answered.

This is so delightful.

As the meal went on, Sunggyu couldn’t decide whether Dongwoo was a slow eater or just an inefficient eater. He would pick up his fork, and then one of two things would happen. He would either put the fork down and start to talk, or he would put the food in his mouth and start trying to talk.

The details are so delicious.

What he couldn’t say was, I wanted to be an idol, I wanted my voice to be heard in more than words. I gave up. Simple things.

This breaks my heart.

Dongwoo getting ** wrong!

He had a text from his mom asking how the date went. He never should have given Woohyun his mom’s number.

The thought of Woohyun and Sunggyu’s mom being close is the best thought In the world.

“Usually you send me a text essay after your dates about how horrible they are and how you’re done with humankind. That didn’t happen this time.”

Haha!

A PLAYLIST.

“I don’t get it,” Sunggyu said, because he truly didn’t understand.

Bless.

“Woof,” said Sunggyu.

These two are too cute!

Gyuyeol being siblings is the most hilarious idea.

Dongwoo’s friend blinked his wide eyes at him. This was when Sunggyu noticed that he was very, very handsome. As a result, he immediately felt very, very jealous.

Gyu is totally the jealous type.

Sunggyu did not have time to deal with his producer’s pathological need to announce his alleged heterosexuality every other sentence. He replied wearily, and customarily, reciting a familiar speech.

Oh Sungyeol.

”Right. It makes more sense to observe every tiny habit he has and record it in your memory for an unknown posterity, bring him doughnuts at work, and watch sports that you vehemently abhor at his apartment, just because you think he’s brave for dyeing his hair.”

LOVE.

Gyu shares my phone aversion. I only order take-out online.

He was developing a headache from the anticipated noise already

Same.

“No, I don’t think so,” Sunggyu half-lied. There were possibilities opening up like flowers all over the place, too many to tackle all at once.

Oh happiness!

Sunggyu held the new bear figurine he’d bought in his hand and willed its ursine strength into his own being.curling his mouth around his teeth so his smile wouldn’t invade his entire face and make his eyes shrivel.

Oh Gyu!

“You’re right, it isn’t very good.” Sunggyu said, because the right words never came to him in situations like these.

THIS JERK. (It’s so perfectly Sunggyu!)

Now seems like a good time for us to kiss again,” Sunggyu said. He felt a habit forming, one where he actually said what he meant most of the time.

I am so happy.

The ending is absolutely perfect. Too, too fun.

Thank you!!! Ahaha, I was happy that you found my fic... out of curiosity, was it obvious that this was mine? Either way, very glad you liked it! Sunggyu as a big grump was so fun to write, and I thought him with the effervescent Dongwoo had a lot of potential for comedy!

I love watching Dongwoo eat food (or, try to eat food). This interview from a while ago was in my mind.

Maybe Woohyun conspires with Sunggyu's mom to get him out of bed and to do his laundry more than once a month. In fact, Woohyun probably has everyone's mom's number. Moms probably give Woohyun their numbers, haha.

(Takeout online is the best.)

I think that Sungyeol as Sunggyu's boss (and brother) would drive both of them nuts.

I find Donggyu so sweet but there is not enough fic for them--Thanks for commenting!

It wasn't obvious, no! I had it on my list of possibilities for you since it was well-written but I didn't know for sure!

This is my new favorite headcanon.

Donggyu is so sweet--thanks for writing them!
