Summary: He’s really obvious and he notices but on the other hand, he’s also really obvious and she doesn’t quite notice.
He knows that he’s outright staring at the other young man helping him pick up the glass shards and he should be a little bit more discreet but for Yoon Doojoon, he can’t help it. He can’t help but be so painfully obvious that he’s staring because the actor/guest that’s helping him clean up the main floor happens to be quite the looker. Doojoon can tell right away from the other’s body language and hands that he’s smaller than Doojoon himself and he can see the other man’s black roots from beneath a shock of dirty-dark blonde hair. Like all the other guests, he was dressed in nice slacks, a nice dark gray, and a black button up covered his torso, the first few buttons having been left undone to expose his gorgeous neck down to the upper part of his chest where Doojoon could spot a black singlet beneath the other shirt. Over the button up was a dark gray vest and Doojoon vaguely remembered the actor giving his jacket to Hwang Miyoung (Tiffany) a few minutes ago.
“Are you done staring yet?” the voice is light, amused and Doojoon blinks blankly, his hands pausing in the middle of reaching for a glass shard. There was a moment where dark eyes flickered up at him from beneath blond bangs and a light smirk crossed the other’s lips. His hand moves as he brushes back his bangs then he reaches out and lightly taps Doojoon’s forehead, his nail lightly brushing the red mark from Tiffany’s tray. Doojoon winces, backing up slightly. “You were staring.”
“Ah.” and Doojoon feels a little bit embarrassed. Luckily, the actor just laughs and stands, dumping the glass in his hands into a bin a young woman was holding out. She hands him a kerchief and he gently brushes off his hands before saying lightly,
“Thanks Jieun-ah.”
Doojoon looks at the girl and kind of deflates because the girl was really pretty, another actress or something similar he bets and the handsome, cute little blond that Doojoon really wanted to put into his pocket and keep him is obviously close with her. She smiles at both him and the actor. The actor lightly pats her shoulders. Doojoon bows his head, his body dipping as well and he takes the bin from the woman, dumps in the shards he was carrying and then slips away, disappearing into the crowds with the glass. He doesn’t notice the actor watching him go.
“Seobie-oppa,” Yang Yoseob turns his gaze and he smiles at Lee Jieun, better known by her pseudonym name IU. She smiles, her head tilting lightly towards the direction Doojoon had left in. Yoseob just shrugs then she says lightly, plating her hands onto her hips. “He was staring oppa.”
Yoseob just smiles, a finger rising to tap his lips. His eyes are glittering and IU shakes her head when he says simply, “I know.”

“You’re staring again,” The voice is light and Jang Wooyoung jumps, his head whipping around to see his cousin lean his hip against a table, dark eyes bright with amusement. His cheeks pink and Jang Dongwoo just laughs, shaking his head. He twirls a pen in his hands and points the pen at Wooyoung. “You’re staring hyung. At Lee Jieun-IU-yang.”
“You’re the only one who noticed.” Wooyoung says and Dongwoo laughs when Jung Jessica sweeps in, eyes glowing with cheer and stops with a light, “Wooyoungie, you’re staring at IU-ah again.” Wooyoung blushes darker and Dongwoo chortles because his cousin is starting to look like a tomato. Jessica laughs, shaking her head and she pats Wooyoung’s shoulder.
“Just go talk to her. Worse she can do is reject you.” Dongwoo says and he blinks, Jessica laughing lightly next to him when Wooyoung dives under a table, kicking him in the process. It takes a second for the pain to register and when it does, Dongwoo hisses and rubs at his shins, crouching to glower at his cousin and from the corner of his eyes, he sees white and something that resembled feathers as IU walks by.
“Did she see me?” Wooyoung squeaks. Dongwoo rolls his eyes and Jessica laughs. There’s another a light, melodic laugh and Yosebo stops by the table, grinning down at Wooyoung’s head poking out from the tablecloth.
“No but I think you should talk to her. Jieun-ah isn’t the most brightest bulb in the box when it comes to people watching her.” Yoseob says lightly as Wooyoung scrambles out from underneath the table, his shirt askew and his hair a mess. Jessica smiles, hugging Yoseob fondly and the blond just smiles at Wooyoung. “Jieun-ah is cute. And she’s not violent at all. Jieun-ah is the most adorable person in the world.”
“I know,” Wooyoung gets this little floaty, happy expression and Yoseob laughs lightly. There’s a moment where he’s about to speak again and instead, he turns, his eyes searching the crowd. He blinks when his eyes lock with someone else’s and then he smiles when Doojoon blushes pink and looks away. Yoseob just shook his head and looks over at Jessica who giggles. There’s a moment where Dongwoo seems contemplative and he stretches leisurely. For a moment, his eyes meet Yoseob’s and the other just smiles.
“Have fun. Try not to get hit all right Dongwoo-ah?” he just grins and then disappears into the crowd. Wooyoung is blinking a little bit blankly but then he remembers that this isn’t the first time that Dongwoo and Yoseob have meet. They weren’t anywhere in the same field of industry, Yoseob in acting and Dongwoo as one of the most sought after choreographers out there but they did, if he remembered correctly (which was debatable) attend the same school.
“What’s Dongwoo-ah doing?” Wooyoung asks and Yoseob just smiles, pats his arm then extends his own towards Jessica.
“Noona, I think we have a waiter to hunt down,” she giggles and then they march off, leaving Wooyoung confused as he watches them leave.

Doojoon’s frowning when he sees the actor (he pries the name from a fellow worker, Kwon Sohyun who looked almost gleeful really when he asked. Of course, she then shook her head because that actor comes to the establishment a lot and Doojoon also stares a lot but at least know he knows his name,) Yang Yoseob hook arms with Jung Jessica and they disappear into the crowds. He’s frowning pretty hard and he’s kind of glowering and he’s a little bit distracted. Actually he’s so distracted that he doesn’t notice that he’s being approached.
“Yoon Doojoon-sshi?” the voice is light and Doojoon jerks in surprise, stepping back a few dozen steps when the cute blond actor that Doojoon really wanted to put into his pocket appeared in front of him. He blinks a few dozen times and stares the two in front of him. Both blonds stare at him and Doojoon feels his cheeks heat up. Jessica giggles and Yoseob smiles, his head tilted to the side as he asks gently, “Did we surprise you? I’m sorry.”
“N-No it’s okay,” Doojoon’s voice comes out in a squeak and Yoseob smiles. Jessica giggles again and the younger male lightly hits her shoulder with a light, “Noona.”
“You’re cute. Cuter than I remember,” Jessica says lightly and for a split second, Doojoon sees something flicker across Yoseob’s face but then it’s gone. So Doojoon turns his attention to Jessica. His ever-familiar smile comes across his face and he cocks a hip casually.
“Thank you Sica.” Jessica smiles and Yoseob shifts slightly. A smile crosses Jessica’s face and Doojoon is wondering what it means because a second later, she’s latching onto his arm and that strange emotion flickers back over Yoseob’s face. A frown touches his lips for seconds then its gone. His head dips and Jessica almost frowns, Doojoon’s heart sputtering when Yoseob smiles then turns to go.
“Seobie-ah!” but he’s already disappeared into the crowds. There’s a moment where Doojoon’s just staring at his retreating back and Jessica frowns, dropping his arm. He blinks and then he flinches when Jessica hits his arm. She’s clearly unhappy and she’s scowling at him. “Yoon Doojoon! This is all your fault!”
“What did I do?” and he’s blinking stupidly when Jessica hits him again and the next instant, she’s flying towards Im Yoona screeching, “Yoong! I’m surrounded by idiots! Our Shih Tzu is avoiding him and Doojoon is dumb!”
Doojoon just stands there blinking as Jessica and Yoona pretty much shout and bemoan his stupidity to the entire floor and Doojoon really doesn’t know what to do. He wants to protest about the insults to his intelligence but he doesn’t know how to do that without being stupid or sounding stupid. So instead of going after Jessica to ask, Doojoon just slips towards the bar, picks up a tray and melts into the crowds. He doesn’t see Taemin, having finished yelling at the absurdity of his brother’s oddly timed proposal, shake his head at him.

“Why is it that you have a thing for this idiot? He didn’t even come after you Seobie-ah.” the voice is lightly amused and in the middle of a crowd, Yoseob turns to see Dongwoo (who was dragging IU and in the distance, Yoseob can see Wooyoung bend something angrily in his hands) arrive next to him. Yoseob’s lips curl into a smile and he shrugs while IU blinks in confusion. “Sica-noona was hoping that plan of hers would work. It worked for Dongwoon-ah and Kikwangie,”
“Well, they knew each other.” IU points out even though she has no clue what the discussion is about and Dongwoo smiles at her, answering lightly, “True. But for someone who knows you, I expected him to come pummel my face in by now. He’s always so touchy when you’re with someone IU-yang.”
“Excuse me?” and Yoseob shakes his head, lightly patting his best friend’s hand with a soft, “Don’t worry about it Jieun-ah. You’ll get it sooner or later.”
“Are we discussing someone’s obvious fascination with IU-yang or Yoseobie-hyung?” the voice is light and a handsome doe eyed male enters their group. His eyebrows raise and Dongwoo grins.
“Both actually,” Yoseob simpers and the male nods. “But it’s a little hard to knock sense into their tiny brains.”
“And yet you like his tiny brain and his dorkiness.” And Yoseob slaps his arm with a, “Yah Hoya-ah, he’s still your hyung.”
Lee Hoya just smiles. Next to them, he can hear IU and Dongwoo (Dongwoo drawing IU’s attention to Wooyoung in the distance and the other dancer simply trips over his own feet when he sees her looking), prompting IU to comment lightly, “For a dancer, Jang Wooyoung-sshi seems a little clumsy on his feet.” That causes Dongwoo to smile and laugh because it’s the best thing he’s heard all day.
Hoya shakes his head lightly at Dongwoo then turns to Yoseob asking lightly, “Hyung, have you just done this?” Yoseob blinks and the next second, he’s being pulled forward, lips crashing onto his. He hears IU squeal in surprise there’s a, “Hoya! Move!” and the next instant, Yoseob is blinking blankly at someone’s back.
Hoya and Dongwoo are both on the floor, IU looked a little dazed, Wooyoung looks damned protective and it takes a minute before Yoseob recognizes the uniform which was funny because he’s seen it more times this night than in a week. He can tell by the heaving shoulders and the shortness of breath that Yoon Doojoon is unhappy. Very Unhappy. And that made Yoseob very happy.
“Hoya-ah are you alright?” Doojoon sputters when Yoseob leans around him to ask the younger man on the floor. Hoya smiles even though there’s a blossoming red mark on his cheek and he waves, saying lightly, “Peachy. Hurts a bit but nothing ice won’t help. Dongwoo-hyung, how about you?”
“I’m really wishing that Wooyoung-hyung didn’t start to take up weight lifting. That really hurt.” And with that, it takes Wooyoung all of two seconds to realize that he had been had. Doojoon still doesn’t get it, IU in the same boat but Yoseob is smiling. IU makes a light noise and Wooyoung drops the hand he was holding, having been holding it since his fist had met Dongwoo’s face, and he blushes pink.
“What the fuck?” Doojoon manages blankly and Yoseob turns to him. The older male meets his gaze for all of two seconds then he looks away. Yoseob raises a hand and makes him turn his face towards him. Doojoon’s voice seems to jump two octaves. “Yoseob-sshi?”
“Let me spell it out in actions so your tiny brain can understand Yoon Doojoon,” Yoseob then curls all 10 fingers into Doojoon’s work collar and in the view of everyone there, drags him down and kisses him senseless. When they part, Doojoon is very dazed and Yoseob is still very happy. “I’m not dumb enough to not notice you staring. And you stare at me all the time. Every time I happen to be here. You stare almost as much as Wooyoung does but the difference is that I notice and she doesn’t.
“I’ll admit that I don’t really like your fringe because they look like they can poke me to death, you should have a smaller fanclub and your flirting tendencies have to go but I guess I can like you.” Yoseob crosses his arms and Doojoon blinks at him. There’s a moment of just confused, anticipating silence then,
“You’re horrible.” Yoseob just smiles, looking up with half-lidded eyes and he drags him down again with a faint, “I know.”
Wooyoung blinks as Dongwoo, clutching his nose, steps up to him. He resists the urge to punch him again really. His cousin kind of flinches away. His hand drops and Wooyoung notes that the area under his eye is bright red and so was his nose. If it were a normal occasion, he would have joked about Dongwoo looking like Rudolph the reindeer. But it isn’t so Wooyoung clamps his mouth shut, frowning.
“This is where you kiss the girl senseless because she’s yours hyung.” Dongwoo says and IU blinks. His voice is a little muffled but Wooyoung gets the point anyways. He looks sideways and blushes. Hoya, having recovered a little, stands, brushing off his slacks, grimacing when he presses gently against his cheek.
“If you want a crab with a Jamaican accent to sing just for you to kiss her, forget it.” Hoya mutters and Dongwoo laughs. IU blinks at them all because she’s still a little confused however the subject of the conversation is finally clicking in her brain but the uncomfortable, blushing face of Wooyoung causes her to approach. Dongwoo’s laugh gets caught in his throat and Hoya gapes as little, cute and petite Lee Jieun, arguable one of the best singers in her field tiptoes lightly and kisses Wooyoung’s cheek. Wooyoung, for a split second, almost flinches away.
“I’ve been told I’m a little slow.” IU says lightly and at her voice, Yoseob and Doojoon turns. Wooyoung looks a little bit like a deer caught in headlights and IU steps up, close into his personal space and her cheeks pink. Her head tilts and Wooyoung is pushed forward by Dongwoo. It takes Wooyoung almost a few seconds to prevent himself from toppling over the small, petite singer. She smiles and gently touches his arm to steady him.
“S-Sorry,” Wooyoung squeaks and IU smiles.
“Wooyoung-oppa,” the address is casual, light and Yoseob is grinning in the background and Wooyoung blinks. IU easily links her arm with his. “Oppa, I’m supposed to learn a dance for one of my new singles. Will you help me?”
“I haven’t heard anything about you releasing a dance single,” and Dongwoo wants to slap his cousin silly. IU just lightly reaches for his hand, threading her fingers with his.
“I’ve just never had a good dance instructor. You don’t mind teaching me right?” there’s a moment where Wooyoung stares and IU pouts. Yoseob smiles at her adorableness.
“What Jieun-ah really wants to ask is, since she doesn’t really know you just yet but you seem to be a nice guy and since Dongwoo is too forward (“Yoseobie!”), would you like to make dating plans in the future?”
There really isn’t a reply and instead, Wooyoung just smiles, his cheeks a little pink, and he squeezes her hand.
