“—kwan-ah, hey, wake up.”

Seungkwan groans, reluctant to leave his dream behind. It’s one he’s been having frequently lately, half-memory and half-fantasy: he’s at the filming site from the Hybe Game Caterer’s special, surrounded by verdant grass and white pop-up tents, but there’s no one else there except for Seungkwan and Soobin. Music is playing in the distance, and Soobin is smiling at him.

Come on, hyung, Soobin says. Don’t you want to dance with me?

A hand jostles his shoulder, finally pushing Seungkwan from dream into reality. He blinks open eyes heavy with sleep and makeup, letting the world slowly come into focus. The first thing he notices is his manager, looming into his field of vision— the culprit who disturbed Seungkwan’s sleep. The next thing he notices is another blurry shape behind his manager, significantly taller and better dressed.

“It’s okay,” the blur is saying in a familiar voice. “I don’t want to disturb him, I can come back later.”

“Soobin-ah?” Seungkwan croaks out. He nearly brings a hand up to rub at his eyes, before catching himself at the last second. His makeup artist is on her break right now, and she would have his head if she came back to all her hard work smudged to hell.

“Hi hyung.” The blur inches closer as Seungkwan’s manager moves out of the way. Seungkwan blinks again, and again, until Soobin sharpens into focus. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to bother you. I just had a bit of downtime, so I wanted to come say hi.”

“You’re not bothering me,” Seungkwan says, the end of the words embarrassingly garbled by a yawn. Years of conditioning have him immediately bracing to be clowned by at least one, if not many more, of his group members, but the teasing never comes. He’s using this waiting room alone today, courtesy of a drama OST that went viral enough for one of the music shows to invite him for a special stage. Minghao and Vernon stopped by earlier in the morning to offer support during the pre-recording, but they’ve since departed for other schedules. At the moment it’s just Seungkwan and the handful of staff who came to help— and now Soobin, too.

Soobin, who looks quite literally like something out of Seungkwan’s dreams. His hair is slicked back, and he’s wearing a fitted black suit. He’s a guest MC for the day, and the theme seems to be something around secret agents. Seungkwan doesn’t know, and he doesn’t particularly care. All that matters is that Soobin looks good.

Maybe Seungkwan is still half-asleep, lost in a haze of large hands, long legs, and a sheepish smile, because it feels easier than anything to reach out and hook a finger through one of Soobin’s belt loops. Soobin makes a noise of surprise, but goes along easily when Seungkwan pulls him closer to the couch he’d been napping on.

“Hyung?” Soobin asks, laughter in his voice.

“How long do you have until you need to get back?” Seungkwan stares up at Soobin and wonders if he’ll dream about this later, too. If this small interaction will become yet another of his recurring dreams.

Soobin glances to the corner, where a large clock hangs next to the TV used for monitoring. “Mm, at least ten minutes? Maybe twenty.”

“Stay for a bit?” Seungkwan finally lets go of Soobin’s pants and pats the space beside him on the couch. “Tell me what you’ve been up to lately.”

“You’re just going to fall asleep again,” Soobin teases, but he sits all the same. The couch is small, and he and Seungkwan end up pressed together from thigh to shoulder. Seungkwan immediately feels himself melting into the comforting warmth.

“I would never!” he tries to protest, but the effect is ruined by another yawn. Soobin snorts out a laugh. “Okay, I might,” Seungkwan acquiesces. “But I still want to hear about how you’ve been.”

Like this, still wrapped in the tail end of his dreams, it’s easy for Seungkwan to rest his head against Soobin’s shoulder; easy to imagine that this isn’t just a stolen pocket of time, but rather where they’re meant to be.

“Actually, it’s kinda funny,” Soobin says. “I’ve been hoping to have a chance to chat— I wanted to tell you about these dreams I keep having.”

This is so lovely! I love the feeling of that serendipitous captured moment in their schedules & the cosy intimacy despite being in public, with Seungkwan daring to act on impulse. Boobin nation rise! \o/
