[SEVENTEEN / ENG TRANS] COMEBACK SHOW
đ± For me, I think itâs Wonwoo
đ Wonwoo is your ideal type?
đ± What? I misunderstood the question!
Wonwoo finds Jun outside, sitting on a bench by the door that leads from the parking garage into the company building. He twists to look up at Wonwoo as the door latches closed with a soft beep.
âI misunderstood the question,â Jun says. âMy Korean sucks. Sorry I embarrassed you.â
He turns back to face the rows of vans as Wonwoo sits down next to him. âItâs fine. You didnât.â
An uncomfortable silence expands between them. Wonwooâs gaze falls on a smear of makeup at the corner of Junâs sweater, and drags up to the side of his face. His make-up has started to separate a little, revealing the faintest five oâclock shadow. His hair hangs over his eyes, obscuring them from Wonwooâs view.
âThe fans will go crazy for it,â Jun says, laughing a little.
The sound buoys Wonwoo, and he knocks his shoulder into Junâs. âYou always have good instincts for shows,â he says.
After the recording ended, Jun had avoided him, sticking closer to Minghao than usual and grinning without faltering, like he had something to prove. Wonwoo fears he might be arrogant to think it had anything to do with his gaffe, but. He thinks that.
He wishes he knew what to say, though. He swallows, trying to get rid of the lump in his throat, but his mouth is dry.
Jun leans back and rests his head against the concrete wall. His hair, stiff with hairspray, poofs up behind his head. âMinghao asked me if I was serious. Isnât that funny?â
Wonwoo shrugs. What heâd give for a beer or a cigarette, even though he quit, but justâsomething to do with his hands right now. âI donât think itâs funny.â
Jun barks out a laugh and turns on the bench, pulling up one knee and resting his chin on it. âYouâre just trying to be nice,â Jun says with a toothy grin. âItâs hilarious!â
Wonwoo searches Junâs face for any betrayal of hurt feelings, but finds none. His smile shines brightly, a laugh twitching at the corners, and his eyes twinkle with amusement.
Oblivious to the silence, Jun keeps talking. âI mean, youâre not even my type. And you know what they say, donât sit where you shit or whatever.â
âDonât eat where you shit,â Wonwoo corrects.
Jun looks at him sidelong and laughs again. âRight. Exactly. See what I mean? Weâre not even compatriable.â
Wonwoo bites his tongue to keep from correcting himâitâs close enough. The meaning is clear; Jun doesnât think the compatibility is there. The one time theyâd kissed theyâd been drunk, anyway, and it was as a jokeâwouldnât it be funny if we kissed right nowâthough Wonwoo has never been able to figure out the punchline.
Wonwoo unsticks his tongue from the roof of his mouth and shoves his hands into his pockets. âWell, like you said, the fans will like it.â
âIâll have to think about what to say,â Jun continues, âIf they ask me about it when I go live. Are you going back inside, by the way?â
âYeah, Iâll follow you in a minute.â Wonwoo answers.
Jun hesitates, kicking his feet back and forth against the concrete. He looks like he wants to say something. Wonwoo canât think of any words, but he wishes Jun would.
Finally, Jun gets up and goes back into the building. Wonwoo is left alone.
He leans his head back against the wall. Maybe heâs been the butt of this joke all along.
