Author's message: Hi~ So yeah instead of writing a proper introduction I'll just post this... Please disregard my English (only point something out if it's a huge crap), I'll try my best. Also that's my first writing as in boyxboy so haha I might by awkward. (More than I already am.) If you have something on your mind after you're done with reading, please share that in a comment! Thank you! ^^
Monday should never exist in the first place.
„How do I look?”
Saturday and Sunday is a such nice pair of days with more free time than usual, less work than usual (well not every single time but still remarkably less than on weekdays) and most importantly with more time for the thing which Byun Baekhyun has learned to cherish the most during his life of an idol - sleeping.
So why must Monday come next and ruin everything?
“Ya, Baekhyun.”
And they had a jam-packed schedule on top of that! Photoshoot, practice, photoshoot, practice and even this MV shooting… Why can’t they shoot the MV at least on Tuesday? Tuesday is so much nicer (and closer to the weekend).
“Byun.Freaking.Baekhyun.”
Baekhyun looks up from the wall he was staring at the last five minutes spent with mental agonizing and turns towards the owner of the voice which called his fabulous name.
Jongdae is standing at the other end of the dressing room with hands on his ridiculously little waist and eyebrows rose. He also has an expectant look on so Baekhyun asks:
“Did you say something?”
“I asked for your opinion on how do I look and I’d really appreciate if you answered.” Jongdae says. His voice is filled with sarcasm but there’s something else too which Baekhyun can’t put a finger on it. “So?”
Baekhyun is still too sleepy to form a sentence which goes more than did you say something and oh hi but he does try. (It’s about Jongdae after all. And though Jongdae’s friendship is not as good as weekends but close enough.)
Jongdae is wearing some ripped jeans with a black t-shirt and a black leather jacket. They all look good together and fit Jongdae’s playful personality but somehow all Baekhyun can think of is he’d look better without them. Like without any clothes.
But that’s a disturbing and omg what am I thinking thought, moreover off topic so at the end all Baekhyun says is:
“You look good.”
Jongdae seems anything but satisfied with this answer and voices his problem out well.
“Baek’, come on. If I need textbook answer I go to Kyungsoo. That’s how you’re being a friend? Not nice.”
“Hey, I’m doing pretty good as a friend. At least better than Chanyeol is.”
“Well, I’m sure he would have said something pleasurable.”
Baekhyun gapes but doesn’t retort to that finally. He’s too caught up on the fact how smooth the word ‘pleasure’ rolled off from Jongdae’s tongue. I mean he didn’t say pleasure exactly but it was close to that and sounded nice? Anyway, off topic.
“Go and ask him to measure your beauty then. I’m too sleepy to perform that task as you can see.” He whines out at last and even spreads out on the sofa to indicate his rude mood.
Jongdae huffs but doesn’t leave just turns his back on him to look back into the full-length mirror. He’s apparently a bit offended but knowing his nice personality it won’t last longer than a minute or two.
Well, Baekhyun decides those minutes are enough for him to doze off a little. (Their manager hyung will call for them soon, it’s his one and only chance to rest before the crazy MV shooting begins too.) So he attempts to close his eyes but not before he can spare a glance at his bandmate’s form because… yeah why not.
But damn was that a bad idea.
Now that he so nicely raised attention to it, Kim Jongdae does look good in that outfit. The pants are more rip than clothes (it should be called jeans-ed rip really) and the way they hug Jongdae’s skinny legs is just wonderful. The fabric of the jacket is rough but it makes a nice contrast with Jongdae’s fluffy hair. (It is fluffy; Baekhyun knows that well from sleeping next to said boy almost on daily basis, totally accidentally caressing his hair.) And the color black. Black doesn’t really suit Jongdae. Black is mysterious and dangerous, maybe even a bit wild and Jongdae is everything but what was listed former but Baekhyun can’t deny he wouldn’t really mind if Jongdae would be exactly like that sometimes. Dangerous and wild. Preferably more wild. With less clothes.
OFF TOPIC! OFF TOPIC!, his mind screams but Baekhyun can’t really care when Jongdae shifts a bit and the movement highlights how tight those pants actually are. And also, since when does Jongdae’s butt look so inviting?
Fortunately their manager finds them before Baekhyun’s thoughts could grow bolder.
“We’ll soon start. You should come, boys.”
“Yes, hyung.” Jongdae answers the good-mannered he is.
“Yes… hyung.” Baekhyun answers the cloudy-minded and sleepy he is.
Yeah, that’s it he’s sleepy! He’s only having weird thoughts about Jongdae and his outfit because he’s sleepy. Sleepy people can’t think clear after all. That’s it, case solved. Baekhyun arrives at the scene of the MV shooting almost with an imaginable glory above his head the proud and genius he is.
The shooting goes well. The choreography isn’t as hard as Growl’s and the song is a lot more enjoyable too. It’s only midday but almost half of the dance scenes are recorded. Such good news!
“That sandwich is mine.”
“I don’t see your name written on it.”
Chanyeol sighs and takes another one from the table at lunch break.
“By the way Baek, have you said something to Jongdae-a today?”
Baekhyun stops munching on his precious sandwich for a second then continues devouring it with a little shake of head.
“He’s rather sulky even if his appearance is top notch today.”
What are you talking about you giant yoda he’s always top notch - no, not the right answer.
Were you checking him out? Why? Have I let you huh - no, not the right retort either.
Oh man I know what you mean. Have you seen that body roll? I almost tripped over my own feet - definitely not! Off topic!
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Very smooth, Byun.
Chanyeol’s eyes almost pop out instantly.
“Come on, ‘Baek. Don’t say you haven’t noticed. Don’t dare to say you haven’t spared one glance at least at that ass.”
“You’re weird.” Baekhyun feels angry because of two reasons 1) he actually did look and 2) Park Stupid Chanyeol apparently looked more.
“No, you’re weird. I see why Jongdae’s mood is ruined now.”
“I was sleepy when he asked how he looked, okay?” Baekhyun cries out desperate. He even throws the sandwich somewhere in the process of being desperate but he’s too into to it to notice. “If he asked when I’m fresh and fine I would have answered properly.”
Chanyeol grins.
“And what would that proper answer have been?”
Baekhyun stops in the tracks.
“Well… I would have said he looks great. I mean I am a good friend I’m supportive and Jongdae is a good friend he deserves support from me so yeah something along the lines of looking fine today. And would have thumbed up for emphasis.”
Since Chanyeol doesn’t say anything just grins more with that shit-eating grin he saves for him Baekhyun rambles on:
“Since when is Jongdae such a mirror princess anyway? He never got mad at me for such trivia before. Does he really have a PMS as Zitao assumes?”
Well Zitao says a lot of stupid things (especially in Korean) so chances are Jongdae doesn’t have PMS like no male has in the world but Baekhyun really can’t think of any more reason behind his friend’s sudden flip.
What luck he has his other friend.
“Who knows? I only know that it has something to do with you since he lets everyone else closer than an arm-length except for you.“ And the Award of The Most Useful Friend goes to Park Chanyeol... in fact it doesn’t. “But tell me Baekhyun, did you really not look?”
Baekhyun narrows his eyes.
“Leave me alone.”
- - -
Baekhyun thinks Jongdae’s sudden grumpiness lasts until the shooting but even at the end of the day when they’re back at the dorms and all members are stalling in the kitchen waiting for Kyungsoo to finish their kimchi spaghetti, Jongdae stands the furthest place possible and only looks at him to glare. What is going on?
“That looks cooked to me.” Sehun comments peeking over their resident cook’s shoulder.
“If you want something ‘cooked’ go and empty your wallet at the McDonalds’.” Said resident cook quips and lightly bats at Tao’s hand who tried to use this chance to get a bite. (Funny he even dared to try. Kyungsoo has eyes everywhere.)
Minseok sighs.
“I don’t want to hurry you, Kyungsoo-ya but Jongin had already fallen asleep at the table.”
Baekhyun smiles at the adorable snoring boy next to him.
True. He’s even not so adorably drooling.
“Once he smells our Soo’s delicious cooking he wakes up.” Jongdae speaks up and even offers a beautiful smile.
Baekhyun would marvel at that but he’s more occupied with the fact how Jongdae said “our Soo”. And that our Soo actually likes it by the way he holds up his spatula and offers Jongdae a bite first and last.
“He always plays favorites.” Chanyeol murmurs.
Baekhyun hardly fights down the urge to stand up and shout out: excuse me but Kim Jongdae is my favorite so you, Do Kyungsoo should stop feeding him; you, Park Chanyeol should stop ogling him and you all others should stop whatever you ever thought of doing to him especially with him because I…
It comes to a point where he would stop shouting because 1) he has vocal chords to care about and 2) what is his reason for that? Sure Byun Baekhyun is one claiming person and likes to voice out his claims but since when is Kim Jongdae one of that?
“Earth calling for Byun Baekhyun-ssi.” Lay taps his shoulder with a dumb smile. “The food is ready.”
“I’m not hungry.”
Baekhyun is confused and angry and riled up and Jongdae now doesn’t even looks at him if he’s alive or not so thank you so much, he lost all his appetite.
Monday should go to hell!
“But -“
“No buts.” Baekhyun interrupts Joonmyeon grumpily (oh he’s so going to get it by the next family meeting that “…and you Byun Baekhyun should really learn how to use honorifics, you start to get worse than Sehun” again) and dramatically marches into his room.
Once he’s inside he kicks the leg of his bed. What’s up with Jongdae today? He did nothing wrong. He didn’t call him a girl today, didn’t call him out for his height or his dancing… He actually had really nice thoughts about him. Like really nice.
Baekhyun lies down on his bed with a whine. No, no, not again. Images of Jongdae’s back and behind and body roll and everything should never occur again this lifetime in his brain. But having the will is good for nothing if you have no strength - Baekhyun still vividly remembers how good it was to look at Jongdae’s body, to have him call his name and even all the times he spent with Jongdae days and years before.
What’s up with Jongdae?
No, wrong question.
What’s up with Baekhyun?
“Room service.”
Baekhyun is ready to smack Chanyeol with his pillow and tell him to go back and torture somebody else but the one who’s standing in his doorway is Jongdae. Without clothes food.
“I don’t remember calling for room service.”
“Of course you not. Your memory is horrible.” Jongdae scoffs and without getting the permission sits to the end of his bed. “We have to talk about something Baekhyunnie.”
Omg he called me Baekhyunnie omg how cute that sounded from his mouth he should do it more, Baekhyun’s misbehaving mind squeals. Well, Baekhyun can’t really blame it. The object of its misbehaving is sitting on his bed. Jongdae is on his bed… Okay, Baekhyun, focus.
“Talk.”
Jongdae opens his lips to start but then closes them. His hands are gripping the baby blue sheets Baekhyun had got from him for his birthday. It can’t be - Jongdae is nervous?
“You know how I don’t have much confident in my looks. “Jongdae finally speaks, voice low and even sad. “So when stylist noona had chosen that outfit from today for me I thought it’s not right. That outfit is too daring.”
It was daring.
“But since stylist noona knows what fits us I knew I have to believe I look good. So I’ve asked you for help. I thought if you say I look good, then I’ll stop worrying, I’ll gain confidence and I won’t ruin the MV… Too bad it turned out I was wrong.”
Baekhyun sits frozen all through the speaking. Huh? Jongdae was insecure about his looks? How? Why? He has so nothing to worry about. He’s wonderful. Gorgeous even. He better be joking.
But the look Jongdae has on says else. His lips are quivering, his eyes are shimmering with sorrow(?) and holy ground, are those tears threatening to fall?
“No, Jongdae, no.” Baekhyun feels so guilty he would smother himself with the baby blue sheets for hurting his Jongdae if he wasn’t busy comforting said person. “Look I was in shit mood this morning. I haven’t slept enough and I had all these weird thoughts in my head… I would have been rude even to my grandmother if she was here. It has nothing to do with you and your looks. Off topic, okay?”
Oh how funny he’s clutching onto the off topic suddenly.
Jongdae tilts his head to the side (cutely).
“Are you serious?”
“I am!” Baekhyun shifts closer to him and puts a hand on Jongdae’s. “You don’t need to worry about your looks, Jongdae. With or without clothes… those daring clothes I mean, you still look really, really good. You look ravishing.”
Wait a minute that’s not exactly what he planned to say.
While Baekhyun is swimming in a mental breakdown because how could he say his bandmate looks ravishing and practically admit he wants to see him without clothes, the light in Jongdae’s eyes changes a bit and asks in a different voice:
“Would you ravish me?”
Baekhyun is so dismayed at this turn of topic that all that comes out of him is:
“Um… hah.”
Jongdae stares at him for a long-long second then burst into a laughing fit which Baekhyun is pretty sure everyone hears not only in Seoul but South Korea. And then slowly, as much as Jongdae finally calms down, it dawns on Baekhyun that oh fuck he was trolled.
Kim Freaking Jongdae had just trolled him bad!
“You little shit.”
“Oh man you should have seen your face!” Jongdae chuckles while wiping invisible tears out of his eyes. “Ha, I don’t think I have ever pranked you this good. So funny!”
Baekhyun thinks it’s embarrassing rather than funny but Jongdae’s laughing face is such a nice change after his now it turned out fake sad one that a little smile makes its way to Baekhyun’s face.
“So this was all a prank?” It’s obvious but he just has to ask. “You weren’t mad at me at all?”
Jongdae grins and squeezes the hand he has on his own.
“Not from the start. I have confidence in my looks of course I mean look what I have here -“
Baekhyun nods.
Of course.
“- but I think the least you can do is complementing me if you’re staring at my behind for longer than ten seconds. And since you haven’t done that, I was a bit mad. I figured you need punishment for that.”
He said punishment omg- No, Byun Baekhyun, not the right time to be excited. Kim Jongdae has just made it clear he knows you were blatantly staring at him. Be embarrassed!
And Baekhyun does. He can’t say a word and it’s pretty sure his ears are on fire.
Although the latter can also be the result of Jongdae leaning incredibly close; so close that Baekhyun can see the unblemished skin of Jongdae’s cheeks. The action should be scandalous but actually it’s more than urging - Baekhyun would really kiss those cheeks, he realizes and it makes his breath hitch. Wanting to watch Jongdae is one thing but wanting to touch him…
“On a second thought, I could have found a better method to punish you.” Jongdae whispers slyly. “I would have done things which could have made you feel even more miserable… But well, I relented.”
Oh you shouldn’t have, Baekhyun whines in his mind because he’s too dazed to speak.
“Anyway, the point is you’ve learnt your lesson, right Baekhyunnie?” Jongdae circles on the back of Baekhyun’s hand with his thumb.
Since he can’t get an answer immediately, Jongdae presses his thumb to Baekhyun’s wrist with force. The latter hisses.
“Yes.”
“Good boy.” Oh my Jongdae is practically purring. A gulp of air for Byun Baekhyun, please. “So now that we’re clear, would you make up for the mistake you’ve done?”
Baekhyun gulps. Jongdae is too close, the room is too hot, his mind is too fuzzy, why is Jongdae asking for such thing when breathing is hard enough already?
And moreover, what is Jongdae exactly asking for?
“You… You’re gorgeous, Jongdae.” Baekhyun pants out totally not freaking out over the fact that somehow along the conversation he has started panting and how embarrassing is he. No, he can’t fuss over something like that when Jongdae is only an inch away looking at him like that. “Sorry for not letting you know. I’ll make sure you’re aware of that next time.”
Jongdae looks somewhat disappointed but at the end flashes a killer smile and nods in an apology accepted way. Baekhyun would let out a sigh of relief but then Jongdae pecks his nose and goodbye air~
“We’re even.”
And just as fast as Jongdae took his revenge, he leaves Baekhyun’s room with delighted steps.
Baekhyun just sits there red-faced and jaw on the floor.
Whoever said Monday is a bad day, he surely wasn’t kissed by Kim Jongdae.
(It’s once again off topic but he so not cares about what on and off topic anymore.)
fin
/ it wasn't that bad was it?

Jongdae tilts his head to the side (cutely).
“Are you serious?”
“I am!” Baekhyun shifts closer to him and puts a hand on Jongdae’s. “You don’t need to worry about your looks, Jongdae. With or without clothes… those daring clothes I mean, you still look really, really good. You look ravishing.”
Wait a minute that’s not exactly what he planned to say.
While Baekhyun is swimming in a mental breakdown because how could he say his bandmate looks ravishing and practically admit he wants to see him without clothes, the light in Jongdae’s eyes changes a bit and asks in a different voice:
“Would you ravish me?”
Baekhyun is so dismayed at this turn of topic that all that comes out of him is:
“Um… hah.”
Jongdae stares at him for a long-long second then burst into a laughing fit which Baekhyun is pretty sure everyone hears not only in Seoul but South Korea. And then slowly, as much as Jongdae finally calms down, it dawns on Baekhyun that oh fuck he was trolled.
Kim Freaking Jongdae had just trolled him bad!
“You little shit.”
“Oh man you should have seen your face!” Jongdae chuckles while wiping invisible tears out of his eyes. “Ha, I don’t think I have ever pranked you this good. So funny!”
Baekhyun thinks it’s embarrassing rather than funny but Jongdae’s laughing face is such a nice change after his now it turned out fake sad one that a little smile makes its way to Baekhyun’s face.
“So this was all a prank?” It’s obvious but he just has to ask. “You weren’t mad at me at all?”
Jongdae grins and squeezes the hand he has on his own.
“Not from the start. I have confidence in my looks of course I mean look what I have here -“
Baekhyun nods.
Of course.
“- but I think the least you can do is complementing me if you’re staring at my behind for longer than ten seconds. And since you haven’t done that, I was a bit mad. I figured you need punishment for that.”
He said punishment omg- No, Byun Baekhyun, not the right time to be excited. Kim Jongdae has just made it clear he knows you were blatantly staring at him. Be embarrassed!
And Baekhyun does. He can’t say a word and it’s pretty sure his ears are on fire.
Although the latter can also be the result of Jongdae leaning incredibly close; so close that Baekhyun can see the unblemished skin of Jongdae’s cheeks. The action should be scandalous but actually it’s more than urging - Baekhyun would really kiss those cheeks, he realizes and it makes his breath hitch. Wanting to watch Jongdae is one thing but wanting to touch him…
“On a second thought, I could have found a better method to punish you.” Jongdae whispers slyly. “I would have done things which could have made you feel even more miserable… But well, I relented.”
Oh you shouldn’t have, Baekhyun whines in his mind because he’s too dazed to speak.
“Anyway, the point is you’ve learnt your lesson, right Baekhyunnie?” Jongdae circles on the back of Baekhyun’s hand with his thumb.
Since he can’t get an answer immediately, Jongdae presses his thumb to Baekhyun’s wrist with force. The latter hisses.
“Yes.”
“Good boy.” Oh my Jongdae is practically purring. A gulp of air for Byun Baekhyun, please. “So now that we’re clear, would you make up for the mistake you’ve done?”
Baekhyun gulps. Jongdae is too close, the room is too hot, his mind is too fuzzy, why is Jongdae asking for such thing when breathing is hard enough already?
And moreover, what is Jongdae exactly asking for?
“You… You’re gorgeous, Jongdae.” Baekhyun pants out totally not freaking out over the fact that somehow along the conversation he has started panting and how embarrassing is he. No, he can’t fuss over something like that when Jongdae is only an inch away looking at him like that. “Sorry for not letting you know. I’ll make sure you’re aware of that next time.”
Jongdae looks somewhat disappointed but at the end flashes a killer smile and nods in an apology accepted way. Baekhyun would let out a sigh of relief but then Jongdae pecks his nose and goodbye air~
“We’re even.”
And just as fast as Jongdae took his revenge, he leaves Baekhyun’s room with delighted steps.
Baekhyun just sits there red-faced and jaw on the floor.
Whoever said Monday is a bad day, he surely wasn’t kissed by Kim Jongdae.
(It’s once again off topic but he so not cares about what on and off topic anymore.)
