After a nice bit of take-out and still no appearance of the other band members, Jiyong decided to retire to bed. Seunghyun had trailed behind him as they took turns brushing their teeth and changing into more comfortable sweats and a t-shirt. Then, it was off to sleep. Or would have been if Seunghyun could have forced himself into the bed after the blonde.
Jiyong's small body was framed by the white sheets. The light accentuated his baby cheeks and his collarbones. As he lay on his side, Jiyong’s waist seemed to dip like that of a beautiful model’s. Then, the valley sloped up to his tiny hips. The sheets hugged his ass as he turned in them. Suddenly, Seunghyun was very much so afraid.
The blonde cracked open one eye to look at the older man. "Listen, I'm not going to jump you while you're sleeping. I'm a better leader than that."
Seunghyun knew it, but he couldn't say the same for himself. He tried to speak, but first had to swallow the lump in his throat.
"I've never slept in a bed without having sex first," Seunghyun quickly tried to reason but realized how bad that sounded soon after.
A noticeable pink hue crept over Jiyong's cheeks. "It'll be just like a sleepover."
"Never been to one."
“How have you never-“
“Never had any friends, just clients.”
"Fine, sleep on the floor then, but don't blame me when you can't dance tomorrow."
Jiyong switched off the light and turned towards the wall. A few seconds later the bed dipped and Jiyong could feel the warmth of another body under the sheets.
It had been a long time since he had fallen asleep with someone in his bed. Normally he sent whoever he was with home before he fell asleep. He smiled lightly to himself as he settled for spooning against an extra pillow.
“You aren’t going to try anything are you?” Jiyong joked lightly.
Seunghyun quickly removed his gaze from the curve of Jiyong’s body and looked towards the ceiling. “Of course not.” He hoped that wasn’t a lie.
“Goodnight, Seunghyunnie.”
“’Night, Ji,” the elder whispered to the sky as he thankfully felt sleep drawing closer.
At some point, in the middle of the night, like a lamp draws a moth, the warmth of each other's body drew them together.
Seunghyun opened his eyes the next morning to see a mess of blonde. He blinked a few times. Then he became hyperaware of the rest of his body. One arm was pinned under the waist he had been admiring. The other arm was draped over Jiyong’s hip. They were facing one another. Seunghyun felt as if his heart had stopped.
He tried to pull out his arm but this caused a light moan of protest to escape from the younger's lips and the moan warmed the skin against Seunghyun’s chest. Seunghyun froze. Jiyong lifted his head slightly exposing his neck. Shifting again, Jiyong's thigh pressed against Seunghyun's slight erection.
The fear grasped Seunghyun then. Before Jiyong could make another move, Seunghyun had violently pulled away from the other and dashed into the bathroom. He locked the door for good measure. He was straight dammit. But, fuck, the things he thought of doing to Jiyong in that moment. He felt like a monster.
Things were immensely worse now. They were co-workers. Seunghyun was about to be an idol and here he was with a hard-on for his sleeping leader. Things were easier when Jiyong was just a customer. For one they weren't sleeping in the same bed. Seunghyun fought his feelings of disgust as he freed his hard member.
Back in the bedroom, Jiyong sleepily opened his eyes. He felt like he had been woken up but wasn't quite sure by what. Youngbae always teased him about being such a heavy sleeper.
He yawned and gave a cat-like purr as he stretched. He slipped out of bed without bothering to fix the sheets. The pillow he had fallen asleep with was lying on the ground. He tossed it back onto the bed before heading into his closet to pick an outfit.
"Yah, Seungri, you in the bathroom first again?" Jiyong asked when he was greeted with the closed bathroom door and the sound of a running shower.
"No," came the reply as Seungri poked his head out of his own bedroom. He rubbed his eyes before giving a light shrug. "It's Seunghyun. He was moaning your name a bit ago. I thought you were in there with him."
"Fuck you, Ri," Jiyong grumpily strode back to his room.
"It's true," Seungri mumbled under his breath but didn't care enough to press that he wasn't joking.
Jiyong opted to get changed in his room. He wasn't sure about Seunghyun’s bathroom habits, but if they were anywhere near as long as his own there wouldn't be enough time to get down to the training rooms.
After tossing his shirt aside and mid-way through taking his pants off, the bedroom door flung open. Jiyong spun around to see a dripping wet Seunghyun standing like a deer in the headlights.
"Shit don't you knock?" Jiyong felt his face heat up and quickly turned back around pulled his wife-beater over his head.
"You should consider locking your door when changing if you're going to be a girl about it," Seunghyun said as he went to toss his worn clothes in the hamper.
"Yeah, well maybe I wouldn't have been so self-conscious if you hadn't been gaping at me," came the huffed reply.
Seunghyun wanted to deny it, but his lying side didn't feel up to the challenge.
Daesung called the members into the kitchen for a light breakfast before they got started with the schedule.
Youngbae still didn't seem to want to talk to Jiyong and Seunghyun also seemed to be catching onto this fact.
"Are you two fighting?" he asked bluntly.
"No," Jiyong responded coldly but Seunghyun was obviously still skeptical.
He was about to open his mouth in question again when Daesung tapped his shoulder and motioned for him to follow. So Seunghyun left his half-finished bowl of rice behind and followed the other into the hallway.
"You shouldn't question things that are obvious," Daesung started out.
"I just wanted to confirm-"
"I know. But Jiyong doesn't work that way. He'll always deny when anything is wrong," he explained.
Seunghyun raised a brow quizzically. This was the guy who had told him all the relationship problems he had been having and asked for help. It didn't seem like he had a closed personality.
"He's at a breaking point," Daesung seemed to read his mind. "Jiyong can't deal with this alone and he's already had his closest friend start to push him away."
"Mohawk man?"
Daesung nodded. "Youngbae has some deeply bound religious roots and he wasn't taught to accept this. Jiyong talked to his own parents a few days ago and was turned away."
The last bit came as a shock. "I had no clue."
"Only I do. And Jiyong's sister, Dami. She's been more supportive than me through this."
"What about panda man? He seemed pretty alright with it."
"Seungri?"
"Sorry. Bad with names."
"Seungri does care about Jiyong. Neither of them are very good at showing it though. Seungri jokes around too much to be of serious support through this."
"You avoid saying it. Why?"
"What?"
"That Jiyong's gay."
Daesung sighed. "Maybe I'm not entirely comfortable with it either. Something like this could destroy us all."
It was what Seunghyun had thought to himself earlier but the confirmation stung. Society would toss them to the dogs before they accepted an idol that was into the same-sex. The lesser knowns might be able to get by without many ramifications, but a top idol would be likely to lose everything.
"He's stuck between who he is and who the world wants him to be," Seunghyun couldn't help but feel like he was in the same position only a month ago. Stuck between just wanting to follow his own path and a company that held a gun to his head if he didn’t follow the path they had planned for him.
"I suppose you can put it that way. Regardless, please don't bring up something like that again."
"Avoiding it isn't going to make it any less of a reality," Seunghyun was speaking from experience.
"I won't be there to bail you out if Jiyong goes off on you."
"I didn't ask for your help."
"Neither did Jiyong."
But that was where Daesung was wrong. Jiyong had asked Seunghyun for help. Him being with Big Bang right now was proof of payment for helping Jiyong. Suddenly, Seunghyun felt like he had been given more than he deserved. However he had helped Jiyong so far was not nearly enough to be rewarded with a dream come true. He still owed Jiyong. He wasn't sure how he would help, but somehow he would.
* * *
They ended up at an interview instead of practice. YG though the public should get to know this TOP character before everyone started yelling about 'only four.'
Seunghyun discovered he was immensely comfortable in front of a camera. He had also begun flirting with the interviewer for a little bit of fun before they actually started recording.
The show host called for everyone to be quiet and Big Bang took their seats.
"Hello everyone, we're here with Big Bang today for a first look at the charming new member, TOP."
"Hello, I'm TOP," he waved and the camera and flashed a stunning smile. G-Dragon shifted in his seat almost scouring at TOP.
"Wow, such a deep voice. How old are you, TOP?"
"I'm 23."
"Older than G-Dragon!" the woman exclaimed and the camera panned to the blonde.
"Yes, he's my hyung but I'm still the leader," G-Dragon responded and gifted the viewers with his own grin.
"Yeah, and but he doesn't boss TOP around," Seungri piped in.
No one could have missed G-Dragon's scowl at that.
"We haven't been to practice with TOP yet. I haven't had the chance to coach him," the leader laughed.
TOP nodded, "I expect G-Dragon to coach me on a lot of things. Especially on getting all the pretty VIPs out there."
"Of course, none of us have time to date," G-Dragon snapped back.
"Yes, but I'm happy to give any VIP a personal call if she'd give me her number," his deep voice countered. "Maybe you'd like to give me your number?" TOP turned back to the interviewer.
"So straightforward, VIPs you hear that? TOP is available. What is your ideal woman?"
"Hm, someone who seems a little shy, knows how to make me laugh, and acts like a young lady. If you know anyone, tell them their prince is waiting."
The interview progressed with mostly questions for TOP. G-Dragon had a constant glare fixed on the elder as he continued flirting with the interviewer on camera.
TOP did a rap piece for the VIPs and wowed the room. Him and Daesung seemed to read each other perfectly and by the end of the interview TOP had an arm slung around Daesung's shoulder. Seungri was laughing with the two and even Taeyang seemed to be loosening up. G-Dragon was still glaring.
When the cameras finally went off, G-Dragon left without a word and took his Bentley for a spin.
He hadn't expected Seunghyun to be such a natural on camera. He didn't expect the man to flirt with every woman watching either. Jiyong didn't want to be upset with the man. It wasn't his fault Jiyong couldn't keep his emotions in check, but Seunghyun seemed to be trying to edge him on. Did he want him to be jealous?
Jiyong pulled into the lot and made his way back to the dorms. The members seemed to still be out. Probably eating.
"Jiyong?" the voice had him almost jumping out of his skin.
Seunghyun was seated at the table watching Jiyong carefully.
"What the hell was that back there? You took over the interview and hardly followed the guide," Jiyong accused before allowing Seunghyun to say whatever it was he intended on saying.
"The interview was about me. I took it where I wanted it to go. You don't need to always be in the spotlight," Seunghyun calmly responded.
"And what was all that flirting? We aren't a damn host club."
"Is that what this is about?" Seunghyun seemed to catch on and Jiyong found himself flustered.
"You know what? I'm going to bed and your ass is on the couch."
Seunghyun silently applauded the decision but quickly threw out a mocking response, "Awe I'm sorry honey did I make you mad?"
"Go fuck yourself," Jiyong slammed his door.
Seunghyun breathed a sigh of relief. He knew since this morning he couldn't share a bed with Jiyong again. He didn't like making the other mad at him but it seemed like the only way.
Jiyong wondered how Seunghyun went from seemingly a friend for the past few days to such a prick today. It was driving him out of his mind.
His cellphone buzzed then.
Dami.
"Hey sis," he greeted.
"Jiji you have to tell me all about TOP," she exclaimed without even giving him a proper greeting.
"Are one of your friends interested in him?" Jiyong sighed.
"What? No, I thought he was yours. I just want the scoop."
"He's not mine."
"Uh oh. What went down baby brother?"
"What makes you assume anything went down?"
"Oh, please. You were practically radiating sexual frustration during that whole interview. This TOP fellow obviously means something to you," she explained rather matter-of-factly.
Another heavy sigh. "Even if he does mean something to me, he isn't interested in me at all."
"Jiyong? How'd you meet TOP? I don't buy that you were old friends."
"The number you gave me."
"Have you two . . . you know--"
"God no!"
"Do you want to?"
"Dami he isn't interested in me. We're just friends now."
"Whatever you say Jiji," was her disbelieving response. "By the way, mama knows it's TOP too."
"How the hell does she know that?"
"It doesn't take a genius. You tell them you’re gay and less than a week later you're adding a new member to Big Bang."
"Does papa know?"
"Like I said, it doesn't take a genius. Jiji, they don't hate you."
"They said they didn't want to speak to me again."
"They're just as frustrated and confused as you. Give them time. They'll come around."
"Thanks Dami."
"I'll call next week if you don't keep me up to date. Bye bye lover boy."
Jiyong shut his phone and settled into a cold bed. He wanted something other than a pillow to wrap his arms around. He drifted to sleep in thoughts of Seunghyun.

Next Chapter A/N: The bed scene wasn't as awkward as I had imagined it, but I guess Jiyong ended up just being happy to have Seunghyun with him. I had fun exploring a bit more with Big Bang's relationship. Don't worry too much about Jiyong and Seunghyun, they're just bickering a little. Just wait until the next chapter. ~.^
