Warnings: plot? What is plot? Is that something you eat?
Summary: Sehun is your average college student who has a crush on someone who doesn’t even know he exists, at first. Jongdae is the host for a program dispensing advice and tips on love and relationships. What do they have in common?
Episode I
“Here is your favorite Funky DJ Chen speaking! How are you doing, you gorgeous people? I hope you’re ready to hear some advice about relationships and unrequited love. Ready? Let’s start!”
Sehun stares at the radio hopefully. This is the first time he decides to send a message to Love Me Right, the radio program in which DJ Chen gives advices about love and relationships. He started listening to the program recently, by chance, and now he has become a fervent regular listener of the program. However, he never mastered the courage to send a message to Chen. Until today, apparently.
“So today our first listener who wants to talk about love is a lovely girl going by the username HotSummerLuna. She says that her boyfriend always looks at other girls’ bodies. Luna, darling, we all know how men are. Do some more squats and, trust me, he won’t be able to stop staring at your ass! Trust your Chenchen!”
Sehun clenches his first and bites his lips, waiting to see if the host of the program reads his message.
“Hey, listeners, don’t run away! After this song we will go back to our love problems. The song is, of course, Sistar’s ‘Touch My Body’!”
Sehun stares at the radio again, waiting for the song to end and for Chen to go back to read the messages. He ruffles his hair and bites his lips again, torturing them while waiting, not so patiently, for the host to read the second message.
“The second lucky listener is pinkupinkutransformer! Wow, what a name. This is just… wow. Anyhow! Our crazy listener suffers from unrequited love. Poor baby! I guess he is a boy from the name, even though the pinkupinku part confused me. So I will address this person according to this criterion. Please let me know if I’m wrong by any means! Back to us. Bro, it is sad that the person you like doesn’t even know you exist but it isn’t a big deal. Just run into them and conquer them with your best puppy face mixed with a hint of attractiveness. They will be yours in nooooooo time! Go get’em, boy!”
Sehun laughs to himself listening to the advice the host gave him.
“Guess I’ll try to run into him. We’ll see how it goes!” he says to himself, thinking of a tiny voice and cattish smile.
“Our second song for the day is ‘Eat’ by Zion.T because I love this song and you have to love it too! Okay? I’m joking, guys! But, really, it is a great song!”
Sehun turns off the radio and start getting ready to go to university, where his friends will wait for him to go together to the class where they have the lesson of the day.
Sehun is well aware, though, that his friends will probably tease him because of his crush and because of how he decided to ask for help to a radio love program, instead of listening to Jongin’s or Yixing’s ideas, which, according to Sehun, were simply impossible to put into practice. Like, how was he supposed to talk directly to the guy he likes and tell him how he feels? Not doable. And how was he supposed to meet the guy’s friends casually and become friends with them, in order to get closer to the guy obviously? Not achievable.
So, in the end, he decided to ask for the help of a, supposedly, expert in the matter. Kyungsoo was the one who told him about the radio program and Sehun decided to give it a try. The guy seems funny and he gives cute and easy to carry out advices, so Sehun decided to listen to the radio program and to write a message to the host, hoping to get a solution to his problem.
The guy is probably right, by the way. Sehun should try to run into the guy he likes. But is more probable that the guy he likes will run into him somehow. Sehun started seeing him in random places a month ago and the guy looked like he had a lot of friends and like he knew what his place in the world was, something that Sehun is quite far from achieving. In fact, he is still struggling to understand what he wants to do with his life and how to combine hobbies and duties. And he is quite sure he won’t be able to find a solution to the problem. Not that he doesn’t want to find a solution. He’s just sure the solution is far unreachable for him. Sad life. Sehun could write a book on his life. Life of a young human being with no prospective in the future whatsoever. Yes.
Sehun stopped wondering how he should start the first page of the book, first pages are crucial okay?, when he heard the clock placed on the main building of his university rang. He then started walking towards the building where his major, astrophysics, is placed. However, he didn’t stop thinking about the cute guy he wants to meet and the message he should write the day after to Chen, the host of the love program on the radio.
Jongdae stretches his arms above his head as he walks away from the building he was working in for the past two hours. He loves his works, he really does, but sometimes he just wants to tell people to solve their love problems themselves and to stop bothering him, since he himself has problems in the field that he clearly doesn’t know how to solve. In fact, he hasn’t been in a relationship for quite a while and he doesn’t even know why. So sometimes he feels like he is pulling a joke on all of his listeners, like those tarot card readers who invent a complicated story to tell their customers, instead of admitting they have no idea what they are doing. This is precisely what Jongdae thinks he’s doing. He’s cheating. And it doesn’t feel right. He stares at the cloud and hopes to find a lover soon. Actually, he just hopes he will randomly run into that cute guy with the serious face. The one who looks like he’s fighting a battle with himself. The cute cute cute guy who thanked him and smiled at him just because he kept the door open for him. Jongdae is sure this is not going to evolve in any way, but it still feels good to even think that someone is cute. And attractive, because damn, that boy was hot. But mostly cute.
It’s not like Jongdae hasn’t looked around these past years, but apart from the casual lovers he was able to find through friends of friends of friends of friends, he couldn’t find anyone to start a serious relationship with. And Jongdae started wondering if there was something wrong with him. The only reason he managed to convince himself that there is nothing wrong with me is ‘Love me right’, the radio program he is a host for.
He was looking for a job, and when Baekhyun told him that the previous host wanted to quit, he didn’t even think twice about it and presented his CV, without realizing that he would have to deal with tons of love problems. He wasn’t ready for it. Especially because he had no idea of what to tell people, but apparently the listeners liked his advices and he started to believe a little more in himself. Most of all, though, he understood that he wasn’t the only one who had serious issues in finding the right person. So he calmed down, and he started enjoying the job.
Now Jongdae adores his job and he wouldn’t change it with anything else, and even though he still wonders when he will find someone right for himself, he was able to help many people find and keep their precious ones. And he is proud of it.
The major issue is that his friends, led by the one and only Byun Baekhyun, started throwing him flying numbers and pictures of people he may like, when they didn’t directly organized him a date, pressuring him to stop being a loner and to start enjoying life. It’s not like he is opposed to this method. He even found someone interesting to hang out with. It’s just that he doesn’t like this slightly forced way of finding a lover. Jongdae tried to tell Baekhyun and Chanyeol that he would look for a lover himself, but his friends just laughed their head off when he said so and now he’s back with Baekhyun and Chanyeol scheming to trick him into dates.
Jongdae is actually getting tired of having to put himself on a pedestal to be observed by his potential future lovers. He just wants to find someone who likes him because of who he is and who genuinely wants to get to know him just because they feel like it. He even started to think that maybe he should ask the cute guy on a date. To show his friends that he is still able to find himself a date, but most of all because he wants to. He is not a soothsayer though so he cannot foresee what the guy would reply. First, the guy doesn’t know him. Second, what the hell? Jongdae would probably reply ’what the hell’ if someone he never saw before asked him on a date. The guy would probably reply the same and Jongdae would probably go cry in a corner, trying to avoid Baekhyun’s ‘I told you so’s.
Whatever. He will think about what to do when he gets to meet the cute guy again. Who knows what may happen.
Episode XXV
“Yo, guys! No, wait. Let me do it properly.”
Sehun groans as his radio alarm turns on and greets him with the voice of the host of his new favorite radio show.
“Good morning, Korea! This is your favorite funky DJ waking you up and making you come back to life. How are you today, my cutiepies? I hope you slept well! Or, rather, I hope you didn’t sleep at all, if you know what I mean.”
Sehun blushes and hides his face in his pillow. Six months have passed from the first time he listened to the radio program and he still can’t get used to Chen’s witty comments. He didn’t get to conquer his unrequited love of the time but he’s happy with his current life and condition.
“If you were wondering, yes, I am wiggling my eyebrows.”
Sehun blushes even more and rolls on the bed.
“Yo, lazy asses. Get up!”
Sehun promptly gets up as if the host was speaking directly to him.
“I gave you a subtle hint about today’s topic and if you got it then please send me a message with a question related to it! I must admit I am being very nerdy with this so if you can’t get it right don’t worry. It’s probably obvious just for me. Okay, I will probably be embarrassed for the rest of the program if no one catch it, but I will manage somehow.”
Sehun thinks for a second and then runs to get his cellphone, which was charging on the other side of the room.
“Got you, hyung!” he says to himself while writing the message. “Done!” he then says smiling to himself.
“We already have a message! Wow, guys. You’re fast! Let me read the message. ‘Good morning, hyung! Can you please give us some advices about movie dates? pinkupinkutransformer’”
Sehun laughs openly hearing the DJ says his username.
“pinkupinku, let me tell you something. I knew you would get it! I’m so proud of you I feel like crying sobsob. You’re probably my most hardcore fan! Like, seriously. I’m so moved hahaha!”
Sehun blushes again and then laughs because he is happy to hear the host praising him and because he just loves the host’s laugh.
“Hell yes I am!” Sehun says laughing again and walking towards the pile of clothes laying on the chair in his room. “What should I wear?” he ask himself.
“Guys, I almost forgot! It’s really hot today so go grab a tank top and show the world your guns. Or, If you are a girl, go show your legs!”
“Should I?” Sehun asks himself picking up a tank top as the host said. “Whatever.” He says putting it on.
“And now, if I don’t get distracted again in the meanwhile, I will start talking today’s topic, aka what to do on a movie date. But first, let me pass the first song of today, which was chosen by our manager, Baekhyun. The song is ‘Variegated’ by Jannabi and you may or not know it but it was used in the soundtrack of the ‘Ex-Girlfriend Club’ drama so it is somehow connected to our topic.”
Sehun finishes getting ready and takes his backpack from the corner where he throw it the night before. He gets closer to the door of his room and turn around to wave at his roommate, Jongin, who just woke up.
“Bye, Nini.” He says to Jongin. “I’ll be back around noon.”
“Gotcha. See you later, then.” Replies Jongin before lifting his sheet over his head.
Sehun closes the door behind himself and leaves to attend his classes.
Episode XXXII
“Guys, I was thinking that I should look for a job. My family told me they will keep paying for college, but they can’t afford to pay for the dance classes too. Do you happen to know someone who is looking for a job?” asks Sehun to his group of friends, which include Jongin, Yixing, and Kyungsoo.
“I heard Junmyeon saying his part-timer quit last week. Why don’t you try to ask him?” replies Kyungsoo.
“Junmyeon as in the bubble tea shop owner Junmyeon?” Sehun asks back.
“Yup, Junmyeon as in Kyungsoo’s special friend.” Replies Jongin.
“Shut up, Jongin.” Says Kyungsoo turning his head to frown at Jongin. “Yes, that Junmyeon. The shop owner. It would be a perfect job for you. You love bubble tea and you’re kinda cute. The girls, and the guys too, will love it! And I’m sure will be more than happy to have a young guy to spoil. Do you want me to call him for you?” asks Kyungsoo to Sehun.
“Oh yes please. That would save my life! Thanks, hyung!” answers Sehun smiling.
“No big deal! I guess I could do it now, so you won’t go crazy waiting for my message.”
“I won’t go crazy…” says Sehun while pouting.
“Shut up. We all know you would.” Answers Kyungsoo.
“…maybe.” Eventually admits Sehun.
“Now shut up and let me call Junmyeon.” Said Kyungsoo before taking his smartphone out of his pocket.
“Junmyeon, Kyungsoo speaking. Hi! Yeah, I’m good. No, I’m not watching Pororo. I’m at university, you bastard. Oh, shut up. You’re far worse than me. Now shut up and let me tell you why I called!”
Sehun leans closer to Kyungsoo to try to listen to what the person on the other side of the telephone is saying.
“You have no part-timer at the moment, right? Uhuh, thought so. Yeah, I know you told me. No, it’s not true I wasn’t listening to you. I was… distracted. Kinda. Do you really want to talk about this now? I’m in public.”
Sehun giggles seeing that Kyungsoo is blushing and avoiding his gaze.
“Stop it! I was saying… Do you want one? A part-timer I mean. My friend is looking for a job and I think you could use him pretty well. He’s cute and he loves bubble tea. What do you say?” asks Kyungsoo turning to look at Sehun.
Sehun leans even closer.
“Tomorrow at 9? I think it’s okay. Wait a second. Sehun, woooo you’re too close.”
Sehun takes a step back.
“By the way, is tomorrow morning okay for you?” Kyungsoo asks turning his head slightly around.
Sehun smiles and nods.
“The kid says tomorrow is fine. Yup. I will take him there. Why, you ask? You’re too embarrassing. You need me to avoid becoming the fool you usually are. Thank me later. Bye, Junmyeon! Thank you!” says Kyungsoo before smiling at Sehun.
“Hyung?” says Sehun.
“What?” asks Kyungsoo.
“Thank you!” Sehun exclaimed hugging Kyungsoo.
“Ok, I get it. Now stop hugging me, you big boy.”
“Gotta go now. Thank again, hyung! Bye!” says Sehun running away and smiling to whoever walked past him.
“Kids these days.” Sighs Kyungsoo although smiling to himself.
He walks away whistling and takes his telephone out of the pocket of his jeans.
He dials a number he knows by heart.
“Junmyeon, going back to what I was telling you…”
He keeps walking away.
Episode ILIII
“Goodmorning! What would you like to order?” asks Sehun smiling at the customer.
He gets the order and turns around to get it ready.
“wow, kid. Who thought you would be this good at this job.” Says Junmyeon patting Sehun on his arm, he gave up trying patting Sehun on his shoulder the first time he realized that he was several centimeters taller than Junmyeon.
“Hyung, I told you I learn pretty fast. And I like the job. So, yeah.” Replies Sehun finishes the drink.
“Just keep doing what you usually do and you can keep staying here for the rest of your life.” Says Junmyeon.
“Chill. I’d love a better future, thank you very much.” Replies Sehun before turning around and handing out the drink he prepared to the customer.
“Whatever, kid. Just don’t abandon me without giving me time to find a decent substitute, okay?” asks Junmyeon leaning against the counter.
“Sure. Now go away, hyung. Please. I get distracted if you try to talk to me. And you don’t want me to get distracted while preparing a drink, do you?” ask Sehun smiling cutely to Junmyeon.
“Annoying kid.” States Junmyeon sighing and starting to walk towards his office. “A customer is coming in, by the way. He’s a regular so treats him well, uh?” says Junmyeon before closing the door to his office.
Sehun mocks Junmyeon worried face and then smile when he sees that the customer is getting closer to the counter.
“Oh!” he then exclaims.
“Oh! Look who’s here!” replies the customer.
Sehun stares at the customer and sees a cat smile and a well-proportioned face.
I’m so damn screwed. Sehun starts panicking.
He never thought he would manage to meet again the cute guy he had a crush on, and especially he would have never imagined he would get to meet him where the works.
“We met on campus, didn’t we?” asks the customer.
“Yes, we did. We actually run into each other a few times.” answers Sehun trying to sound neutral and not interested.
“Right! I’ve seen you around when I met my friends on campus.” Replies the customer smiling. “I guess you’re a student there then?” he asks to Sehun.
“Yeah. I’m an astrophysics student.” Replies Sehun smiling back.
“Cool stuff!” states the customer.
“Are you also a student there?” Sehun dares to ask.
“Nah. I just hang out there with my friends, who are student at your university.” Replies the customer.
“I see. What do you do then?” ask Sehun again.
“I work and try to survive.” He replies.
“That’s what we all do.” States Sehun nodding.
“Right?” says the customer smiling again. “I’m Jongdae, by the way. You will see me around quite a lot since I work in this area so it’s better if you know the name of the person you have to deal with.” Says Jongdae, as Sehun got to learn, laughing.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Sehun.” Replies Sehun smiling.
“I know.” Says Jongdae.
“What?” asks Sehun dumbly.
“You have a nametag.” Replies Jongdae smirking.
“Oh. Yeah. Right. Nametag.” Says Sehun staring at his nametag, as it did something wrong, like existing without Sehun realizing it.
“Oh, dear. I talked quite a while with you.” Declares Jongdae watching at his clock. “Could you give me a black tea mango flavored bubble tea, please?” he asks to Sehun.
“Sure! Give me one second.” Says Sehun turning around to get the drink ready.
“Anyhow… When did you start working here? I’ve never seen you around before.” Asks Jongdae.
“A week ago? Or something like that.” Replies Sehun still making the drink.
“That makes sense. I didn’t get to have my usual bubble tea last week. I was last basically every day.” Admits Jongdae.
“Well, that can happen.” Says Sehun nodding.
“That makes me feel better.” States Jongdae laughing.
“You’re drink is ready!” states Sehun turning around and smiling at Jongdae.
“You’re fast! I’ve already put the money there. Bye, Sehun. It was nice to meet you again randomly like this!” says Jongdae.
“The same goes for me. Have a nice day!” replies Sehun smiling.
“Bye!” says Jongdae one last time before leaving the shop.
I’m so fucking screwed now.
Sehun facepalms against the wall repeatedly and stops only when Junmyeon hurries out of his office to see what the commotion is about.
“Are you trying to kill yourself?” asks Junmyeon to Sehun.
“That was my intention.” Replies Sehun.
“Not during the work hours, please.” States Junmyeon.
“I will try to remember it, hyung.”
“Now go back to being cute and do your job.” Says Junmyeon. “Was Jongdae so stressful?” he asks to Sehun.
“You have no idea.” Exhales Sehun before turning around towards the door and he hears the sound of the door opening up to let a new customer in.
How the hell did this happened?
Jongdae keeps wondering how he managed to meet the cute guy he always saw randomly on campus in the shop he always goes to as he continues powerwalking towards the building where he works. He walks and he can’t stop thinking that maybe maybe, for once, karma doesn’t hate him that much. This is the only thing Jongdae could think of while walking away from the bubbletea shop. That he has a chance. That he can actually ask the guy out. He even knows the guy name now. This may work. He will go back to the shop tomorrow and he will talk again with the guy. With Sehun. Jongdae smiles and starts skipping once he gets closer to his workplace.
Episode LVII
“Good morning, hyung!” says Sehun as he sees Jongdae entering the shop.
“Hi there!” replies Jongdae.
“Why is your voice so low today?” Sehun asks when he notices that Jongdae is talking with a low voice and putting a lot of attention in how he uses his voice.
“I think I’m getting sick or something like that. My voice is failing me and I can’t afford it. So I’m trying to keep it down to preserve as much as I can.” Replies Jongdae smiling warily.
“I’m sorry to hear this. Do you want, maybe, to get a hot drink instead of a cold one this time? It may help.” Says Sehun.
“I think you’re right. I should avoid cold things. So, yeah, please make it hot this time.” replies Jongdae.
“Sure. I will bring it to you. So just sit down there for a second.” says Sehun pointing at a table in the shop.
“Okay!” answers Jongdae smiling.
Sehun starts making the tea and he wonders how he could help Jongdae, because it pains him to see his crush hurt.
“Hyung.” He suddenly says.
“Yeah?” replies Jongdae.
“If you don’t say anything about it to Junmyeon I will give you a free cookie.” Says Sehun looking at Jongdae.
“A cookie?” asks Jongdae.
“Yeah. You’re sick and I don’t know how to make it better since I’m stuck here and you have to go to work, but I have to do something. So I thought about giving you a cookie. You need cookies in moments like this.” States Sehun with a serious face.
“Cute kid.” Says Jongdae laughing. “I will accept your cookie and I promise I won’t tell Junmyeon.”
“This is our secret then.” Claims Sehun.
“Mega secret.”confirms Jongdae.
Sehun gets the tea he was preparing, walks past the counter and hands Jongdae the cookie with a serious face.
“Please don’t be sick.” He says to Jongdae while looking at him in the eyes.
Jongdae just takes the cookie and nods.
“Have a nice day, hyung. I gotta go back to work!” exclaims Sehun before hurrying behind the counter.
“You too, Sehun.” Jongdae replies walking out of the shop.
What the hell am I doing?
Sehun thinks he’s gone crazy. Like, did he seriously hand a cookie to his crush? What a childish thing to do. A cookie. To a grown-up man. A freaking cookie.
Sehun wants to dig a hole in the ground to bury himself there and never come up again. Now Jongdae probably thinks he is an idiot or just a stupid kid who works in the shop he usually goes to. He won’t ever see him as a guy to date.
Good job, Sehun. Way to conquer your crush.
Sehun starts frowning and doesn’t even try to smile when he hears the door opening.
“Woah there. What happened to you?” asks Kyungsoo as he enters the shop.
“I’ve probably ruined any change I could have to conquer the guy I like. And this happened because I’m an immature idiot.” Replies Sehun deepening his frown.
“What have you done?” asks Kyungsoo walking closer to the counter.
“Weren’t you here for Junmyeon?” asks Sehun. “You should go. Don’t ruing your mood with my stupid love problems.” He adds.
“They’re not stupid love problems if you’re frown is that deep. Just tell me what happened, uh? Junmyeon can wait.” Says Kyungsoo before jumping on the counter to sit right next to Sehun.
“Are you sure?” asks Sehun side-eyeing his friend.
“Of course. Now tell me everything.” Says Kyungsoo smiling to Sehun.
“Okay. So. He was kinda sick and I noticed because his voice tone was different from the usual one. I wanted to make him feel better somehow and I thought about giving him a cookie. I know it’s stupid, but I couldn’t do anything else from beyond the counter. And now he probably thinks I’m an idiot or something like that.” Sehun tells Jongdae.
“I’m actually pretty sure he thinks your gesture was cute. I mean, you just wanted to make him feel better, right? I think it’s cute!” says Kyungsoo with conviction.
“Really?” asks Sehun.
“I promise. Now stop frowning and go back to work. I’m sure he doesn’t think you’re stupid. Go!” says Kyungsoo.
“Thanks, hyung!” replies Sehun smiling.
“Smile, kid!” states Kyungsoo jumping off the counter and patting Sehun on his butt.
“Thanks a lot. Please now go to Junmyeon. I can feel his ominous aura from here. He’s probably trying to kill me with his thoughts right on this moment. I can’t keep you away from here. Go, hyung. Go!” says Sehun pushing Kyungsoo towards Junmyeon’s office.
“I’m going, I’m going. You don’t need to push me.” Declares Kyungsoo.
“Bye, hyung!” says Sehun in a cute voice.
“Bye, annoying kid!” replies Kyungsoo.
Sehun laughs to himself as he imagine the face Junmyeon is probably sporting in this moment. The he stops smiling and he starts thinking about what he could do to make sure that he didn’t nullify his chances to ask Jongdae on a date.
He gave me a cookie.
Jongdae walks towards his office and, as usual, keeps repeating what has happened in the bubble tea shop in his head.
Sehun gave him a cookie. To make him feel better.
Jongdae takes the cookie out of his bag and looks at it.
“Hi there, cookie. You will never get eaten because you were given to me by a cute person who had very noble and cute intensions and I can never eat you. Sorry about it!” says Jongdae to the cookie. Then he realizes what he is doing and he stops abruptly.
Now I’m even talking to a cookie. I must have gone crazy. This kid is making me lose my control.
Jongdae keeps walking towards the studio and tries to forget about the ‘cookie accident’, as he decided to call it in his head.
However, he can’t stop smiling as he accelerate his pace.
“Good morning, Seoul! Here, as usual, is your favorite DJ speaking, who just loves to give you advices and tips about love. Today our them is… sweets! Don’t worry. I haven’t gone crazy yet. I was just thinking that a relationship can’t be called serious if there hasn’t been at least one date at a bakery shop. So, yeah. This is your topic of the day. Sweets and their implications. Actually, something related to sweets happened to me and I just had to use that occasion to talk about sweet dates with you. Our first song of the day is either ‘Ice Cream Love’ by Yellow Monsters or ‘Ice Cream Cake’ by Red Velvet. Please send me a message telling me which one you prefer. Now, let me read the first message. Oh, hi there pinkupink. I missed you! Where were you? Did you manage to get your date? Sorry, I’m talking by myself and you can’t reply. I swear I’m gonna read you message. And I’m doing it now. Let me read it for all of ours listeners. ‘Hi, Chen hyung. What to do when you try to do something nice but apparently stupid and you want to avoid destroying all the chances you had to conquer the person you like. And yes, it is connected to sweets, but it is too long of a story.’ Oh, man. What to do you say? Well, if the gesture was nice the other person probably perceived it as such. So don’t worry too much about it and just wait until the next occasion to talk to that person and see how it goes. Now let ask you guys, and you pinkupinku, something. What to do when you can’t handle the person you like because they’re just too cute and they keeps doing tiny gestures that are just so damn cute? This is my question of the day. Why would I ask something like that you ask? Well, I’ve got my reasons. Now, back to our topic and to our songs. The final choice was… ‘Ice Cream Cake’ by Red Velvet. But don’t worry. I will pass the other song later. I will be back once the songs ends. Talk to you later, guys!”
Episode LXVII
“Guys! Today is the day of the section of the program in which we will ask you a question through our homepage and one lucky listener who will be the fastest to either call us or message us gets to receive an amazing prize. Aren’t you excited? Because I am! Today our question for ‘Call me baby!’ was picked by our amazing, please note the flattering tone, manager. I have no idea of what the question could be and I didn’t get to pick the prize this time. So I’m probably even more curious than you are about it! Anyhow, go check the homepage. In the meanwhile, I will pass a song. The song I personally chose is ‘Uptown Funk’. Why? Because I’m your funky DJ Chen, of course! Also because I like the song and it makes me want to dance. But mostly because it could be my personal jingle! See you in a bit!”
He decides then to read it out loud to see whether he is right or if he just completely misread the question.
‘The question of the day is… Would you date our funky DJ Chen?’
I guess this really is the question. It looks like a joke though. Let me ask about it.
Sehun types his question and almost immediately forgets about it, distracted by the paper he has to work on.
“Guys, I’m back! So… let’s call our lucky winner for today’s game! Mr. pinkupinkutransformer, are you there?” Sehun hears dj Chen saying.
Sehun stares at his phone blankly before realizing it was ringing. He picks it up.
“Oh. Hi?”
“Hi there! You were the fastest, weren’t you?”
“I guess so. But are you sure that was the actual question?”
“Why?
“Well… how can I say it? Did you personally chose the question?”
“You know the manager did. Why though?”
“Ah. Nothing. Just… hehe.”
“You are weird, dude. Anyway! I just received the piece of paper with the question and the prize written on it. What could it be? I’m curious too! And it is… ARE YOU SERIOUS?”
“…me?”
“No, pinkupinku. You didn’t do anything. I was wondering if our manager lost it.”
“Why? What’s wrong? What is the prize?”
“Let me read the question first. The question was ‘would you date our funky DJ Chen?’. What was your reply?”
“I thought it was a joke so I answered ‘is that even a question’ or something like that.”
“Well, apparently it’s not a joke.”
“Oh.”
“Exactly.”
“And what is the prize?”
“Apparently you’re gonna visit the studio and you are also gonna be my guest on the program and…”
“And?”
“And it looks like you also have to take me on a date or something.”
“…what.”
“Don’t ask me. I will read what it says. ‘To test whether our love advisor was able to communicate the matter effectively we are giving one lucky listener a chance to put into practice all that they have learned through this program. Enjoy!’”
“You’re got to be kidding me.”
“Trust me. I wish I was.”
“So…”
“So you will have to come here?”
“Gosh. When?”
“Our manager will contact you about it. Are you happy?”
“I’m not sure, to be honest.”
“Oh, c’mon. Be happy! You’re going to meet me. No. I’m kidding. Don’t be too happy. Bye!”
Dj Chen hangs up and Sehun is left staring at his phone.
What even…
Episode LXX
Jongdae starts waiting for the listener to get to the studio. He cleans up the studio, he checks his image again, he hums a song, he reads the last upload of the webtoon he is currently following, and he gives up on waiting. He stands up and walks towards the door.
“It’s almost five. He will get there soon. I am probably not ready for this but whatever.” He says out loud.
Then he sits on one of the chairs in the studio and starts waiting again.
Jongdae eventually falls asleep trying to wait for his regular listener to get there and, indeed, he is suddenly awaken by the sound of the intercome.
Jongdae promptly stands up and walks to where the intercom is.
“Yes?” he says and his voice crack on the last letter of the word.
“Chen hyung?” he hears a voice from the other side of the intercom saying.
“Yup! That would be me. Are you pinkupinku then?” he asks to the voice.
“Yeah. I’m late though. Sorry about it.”
“No worries!” he reassures the voice. “Come up! The studio is on the 14th floor.” He adds.
“Oh. ‘kay.”
Then the voice hangs up and Jongdae is left waiting again.
Jongdae has never been the type to wait patiently for something to happen so he walks towards the door of the elevator to greet his guest as soon as he puts his feet on the moquette of the floor where the studio is.
He gets his best smile ready when he hears the ‘ting’ of the elevator approaching the floor and he freezes when he sees who is in the elevator.
“What the hell are you doing here?” he asks to the person in the elevator.
“What is this?” is the only reply he gets.
“Sehun, why are you here?” he asks again.
“I could ask you the same. Why are you here, Jongdae hyung?” Sehun asks from the door.
“Oh gosh. Are you really pinkupinku?” Jongdae asks to Sehun.
“I really am. But are you really Chen? This is messed up.” Sehun replies.
“I’m gonna kill Baekhyun. I swear I am going to.” Jongdae says leaning against the wall.
“Well. Do you want me to leave? You don’t seem too happy to see I’m pinkupinku.” Sehun asks Jongdae.
“Hell no! You stay here!” Jongdae says vehemently.
“Oh. Okay.” Is the only thing Sehun manages to reply.
“Just give me one second to process this and I promise I’ll make you do the tour of the studio.”
“Take your time, hyung.” Replies Sehun.
Sehun then turns around and start looking around the hallway where he was received by the last person he expected to see there.
“The place where you work seems nice.” He says to Jongdae, who is still leaning against the wall but who is also staring intently at Sehun.
“Thanks. Wanna look around seriously?” he asks Sehun.
“Sure. Lead the way!” he replies smiling for the first time since he entered the building.
Jongdae walks past Sehun and starts skipping in the hallway.
“This is the conference room.” He says pointing at a room with a big round table in the middle of it and with a series of chairs around it.
“Uh.” Replies sehun.
“This is the bathroom.” He says again waving his hands in the direction of the above-mentioned bathroom.
“Interesting.” Says Sehun.
“Kid, be cute and show interest.” Jongdae says turning around to stare at Sehun.
“Sorry. The bathroom! Wow!” says Sehun feigning interest.
“…I give up.” Asnwers Jongdae.
“Sorry, hyung. I’m still shocked to see you here. I know you never told me what your job was, but I would have never though it would be this.” States Sehun.
“I’m shocked too, to be honest.” Replies Jongdae.
“Hyung.” Starts to say Sehun.
“What?” asks Jongdae.
“Are you in a relationship then?” Sehun finally asks.
Jongdae blushes and averts his eyes.
“Do you think I am?” he asks Sehun.
“Why not? You could be in a relationship.” Replies Sehun.
“I’m not though.” Asnwers Jongdae with a tiny voice.
“Oh.” Replies Sehun.
If Jongdae would have lifted his head he would have seen smiling triumphantly to himself. However, he doesn’t see Sehun smiling because he is still very concentrated on studying the pattern on the moquette of the floor.
“Hyung, that’s perfectly okay! As you already know I’m not in a relationship and I like someone who probably doesn’t even think of me that way. It’s not a big deal. I mean, it could be. But it doesn’t seem a problem to me. I was just wondering how you ended up giving this type of advice considering that you are not in a relationship. But you’re good at what you do! So… whatever!” says Sehun smiling at the end of the speech.
“Thanks?” replies Jongdae blushing even more.
“You’re welcome!” says Sehun.
“Now,” starts Jongdae clearing his voice. “the studio is that way!” he says walking where the studio supposedly is.
Sehun just smiles seeing Jongdae walk in front of him and thinks that maybe for once something was turning the right way even for him.
“You can say to have visited the studio now. What do you think?” Jongdae asks Sehun.
“I thought it would be bigger, but I can clearly see that you’re the one working there.” He replies.
“What do you mean?” asks Jongdae.
“I don’t know how to explain it. I can just feel it.” Replies Sehun.
“Oh. Okay!” says Jongdae.
“Hyung, I was wondering…” Sehun suddenly says.
“Yes?” says Jongdae prompting Sehun to continue what he was saying.
“When can I come back? I mean… I get to be a guest on your program, right? But we’re already in the afternoon so today is not good. So, when can I come back?” he finally asks to Jongdae.
“Right. Well, we’ll have a special episode in the afternoon slash night, I’m not too sure yet. I guess you could come that way if it doesn’t clash with your classes.” Replies Jongdae.
“Okay! That sounds good!” says Sehun.
“Now…” starts saying Jongdae.
“Now what?” asks Sehun.
“Now you have to take me on a date!” replies Jongdae.
“Oh, right. I don’t have that much money though.” Sehun says smiling warily.
“I don’t care!” states Jongdae. “So let’s go!” he shouts assuming an heroic pose.
“No, hyung. You go first.” Says Sehun making a movement with his arms to indicate that Jongdae should go first since he’s older.
Jongdae is about to object and talk back when he hears the first notes of a song he knows too well.
“Please no.” he says turning towards Sehun.
“Hyung, why is ‘Careless Whispers’ playing?” Sehun asks.
“I have no clue, but I guess our lovely manager forgot to mention he would spy on us from somewhere in the building to tease us like this!” he says raising his voice to be heard by Baekhyun, who Jongdae now knows for sure is in the building.
“Should we go anyway?” Sehun asks.
“Yes, better run away before the situation degenerates.” he says and starts walking towards the elevator.
“Hyung.” Sehun says.
“What now?” replies Jongdae.
“It got worse.” states Sehun.
“How?” Jongdae asks.
“Like this.” Says Sehun pointing to the ceiling.
Jongdae facepalms against the wall as he recognizes the first notes of ‘Kiss the girl’ from ‘the Little Mermaid’.
“Oh gosh.” Says Jongdae. “Run away, Sehun. Run!” he says before taking Sehun’s wrist and trying to pull him towards the elevator.
Sehun laughs and lets Jongdae pull him.
“Where should we go?” he asks smiling as Jongdae struggles to move him, who is much taller than he is.
“Let me get the further I can from this building first.” says Jongdae.
“Ok, hyung. Just do your thing.” replies Sehun.
“Bastard.” states Jongdae.
“Nah.” says Sehun.
“You’re too tall by the way.” claims Jongdae.
“We both know it’s not true. You’re just too tiny to pull me properly.” replies Sehun. “And you know we could probably wo faster if you’d let me to the opposire?” asks Sehun as he make a torsion with his body to stop Jongdae, who was walking slightly ahead of him, and take his wrist to make him walk faster.
“Woah there, kid.” says Jongdae when Sehun starts pulling him.
“Don’t object and follow me. I know where to go.” claims Sehun still pulling Jongdae by the wrist.
“Let’s go then!” exclaims Jongdae removing Sehun’s hand from his wrist.
Sehun raises his eyebrow in a questioning way.
Jongdae notices and smiles before taking Sehun’s hand in his hand and linking their fingers together.
“This is more comfortable.” He just says smiling.
Sehun nods and smiles back getting Jongdae’s hand steady in his own.
“Let’s go then!” he says.
“Sure!” replies Jongdae as he starts walking again.
Sehun can’t stop smiling and he thinks he probably has never smiles this much in his entire life.
Episode LXXI
“So how did your meeting with the DJ go?” Kyungsoo ask Sehun as soon as he sits down.
“Hyung, do you remember the reasons why I started to listen to that program?” Sehun asks back.
“Of course I do.” replies Kyungsoo. “So what?” he asks again.
“Well. Chen, the DJ, ended up being the precise reason why I started listening to ‘Love me right’.” replies Sehun.
“Are you trying to tell me that the guys you had a crush on and the DJ on that program are the same person?” Kyungsoo asks opening his eyes wide.
“Yup.” Sehun replies simply.
“This is golden.” States Kyungsoo.
“Duh.” Replies Sehun.
“So… how did it go?” insists Kyungsoo.
“It went well, I guess?” replies Sehun.
“Sehun.” says Kyungsoo.
“What?” he asks.
“You won’t fool me. I know you too well. And you’re even smiling to making it more obvious.” Says Kyungsoo.
“Oh.” Replies Sehun.
“Awwww, our Sehunnie is happy!” he states getting closer to Sehun to bump their shoulders together.
“Shut up, hyung.” Says Sehun starting to feel his cheeks getting redder and redder.
Kyungsoo just laughs and takes his telephone out of his backpack.
“I have to tell Junmyeon. This is too awesome!”he states still smiling openly.
“No, please don’t. He won’t stop talking if you tell him.” complains Sehun.
“That’s precisely what I want!” exclaims Kyungsoo laughing.
“Kille me. Now.” says Sehun.
Episode LXXXII
“You listeners keep asking me how I would define myself. Let me answer with a quote from a song. Baek, please help me.”
‘I’m too hot. HOT DAMN.’
“Yeah, guys. Deal with it. I’m too hot for you! I’m joking obviously. But why don’t you ask the lucky listener who had the chance to meet me because of the evil plan schemed by my arch-enemy Byun Baekhyun? Should we call him?”
Sehun stares at his phone and hopes he just completely misunderstood what Jongdae said a moment ago.
He then sees his phone ringing and picks it up instinctively.
“Guys, he’s just too shy to say it on the radio. Maybe next time we’ll manage to make him speak the truth.” Jongdae says while doing a weird expression that is a mix between a pout and a smile.
Baekhyun stops in front of the window separating the studio from the hallway and raises a sign.
Jongdae squints his eyes to read the message.
‘You’re doing a creepy face. Stop.’ he eventually manages to read and replies to Baekhyun by sticking his tongue out.
Sehun gives up trying to understand what his friends are trying to imply and just leaves the table to go to his lesson.
Episode LIX
“Thank you so much for coming. Baekhyun told me he has something else to do and I need help for the end of the show.” says Jongdae greeting Sehun.
“Don’t worry! I was free and you know I love your job.” replies Sehun.
“I guess I’m lucky to know a person like you.” says Jongdae smiling.
“Yup, you’re lucky.” replies Sehun smugly.
“Oh, shut up!” says Jongdae laughing and punching Sehun’s shoudler.
Sehun thanked the heavens Jongdae turned around and got busy looking for his badge in his bag and wasn’t looking at him because he was sporting a very nice shade of red on his cheeks.
“I would ruffle your hair if you weren’t so tall.” states Jongdae.
“Don’t.” replies Sehun bluntly.
“I just told you I can’t reach you hair unless you bend.” says Jongdae back.
“I guess I have to thank my tall genes then, tiny hyung.” replies Sehun smiling and sizing Jongdae up.
“I don’t like you. You’re annoying.” states Jongdae pouting.
“Sure. So I can leave?” asks Sehun pretending to turn around and leave.
“No, please. Stay.” Said Jongdae looking at Sehun straight in the eyes.
Sehun swallows and eventually just nods.
“What? The cat got your tongue?” asks Jongdae smirking.
“Just shut up!” replies Sehun walking past Jongdae.
“You know you can’t go anywhere without my badge, right?” asks Jongdae smugly.
“Have I ever told you that I hate you?” replies Sehun frowning.
“You haven’t because we all know you don’t hate me.” answers Jongdae shrugging.
“What did I do to deserve this torture?” asks Sehun with a feigned annoyed tone.
“You replied to a question asked by the evil Baekhyun, pinkupinku.”says Jongdae.
“Can we just go in and forget about that question?” asks Sehun starting to walk in the direction of where the studio is.
“Sure!” replied Jongdae laughing again.
“Guys, why are you so silent today? I feel lonely! No one is sending messages. What is this? Guys, please. Talk to me!”
Jongdae turns towards Sehun and pouts. “They don’t love me!” he mouths.
Sehun just shrugs.
“Wait! I got a message. Finally! Let me see what it say and I will reply to it.” Jongdae says lowering his head to look at his phone.
“Oh. I mean. Oh. Yeah, I guess you’re kinda right, BlackPearl. But that doesn’t prevent you lovely people from sending me messages, right?”
Sehun watches Jongdae and notices he was blushing. He raises his eyebrow.
“Anyway! Today’s theme is… aquariums! You are probably wondering what the hell I’m talking about, right? But if you are a romantic guy like me, or simply a drama addict, you probably know that the most drama-like dates are at the aquarium.”
Sehun gets closer to Jongdae.
Jongdae turns around to watch him. “What are you doing?” he mouths.
Sehun raises his shoulders in reply.
Jongdae look at him for another second and turns back to the monitor.
“As I was saying, you have to take you lover to the aquarium to create the right atmosphere! The light is perfect, the fishes are cool, and sharks are scary. I repeat: sharks are scary. You know what that means? Your lover will get scared and will get close to you. Gotta take your chances. Hug them at that point!”
Sehun slows down and stops next to where Jongdae is sitting.
Jongdae looks at him and Sehun smile at him to reassure him.
As soon as Jongdae turns towards the monitor Sehun gets Jongdae’s phone.
Jongdae turn around alarmed and tries to take back his phone.
“Guys, sorry. Give me a second. Baekhyun is not here today and my annoying partner for the day decided to get his hands on something he wasn’t supposed to touch. So, please, give me a second. I just have to get the object back. I’ll be back at the end of this song, which is ‘Aspirin’ by Dickpunks.”
Jongdae throws his headphones on the table and sprints to get closer to Sehun, who in the meanwhile got closer to the other side of the room.
“Give me back my phone.” he threatens Sehun.
“Nope.” Simply replies Sehun.
“Sehun, give me back my phone.” Jongdae says assuming a menacing tone.
“I just want to read the message the listener sent to you. You usually show me the messages, but you didn’t show me that one and I got curious. Can’t I see?” asks Sehun trying to be cute.
“No, you can’t.” replies Jongdae.
“I don’t think so.” Sehun says before unlocking Jongdae’s phone.
“Don’t you dare.” Says Jongdae trying to reach for his phone.
“I’m daring.” Sehun replies raising his arms a little more.
Sehun read the message and then stares at Jongdae.
“Hyung?” he starts saying.
Jongdae doesn’t reply and looks at his feet.
“Hyung?” Sehun tries again.
“What?” Jongdae eventually replies.
“You have to go back to your listeners.”Sehun points out.
“Crap!” Jongdae says running towards his seat.
“Guys, I’m so so soooooo sorry! This took longer than I thought it would. What did you think of the song? It’s nice, isn’t it?”
Sehun stares at Jongdae for the rest of the program without saying anything and wondering why Jongdae didn’t show that specific message to him. He can still see the words of the message in his head, ‘usually pinkpinku send you you and we just love to listen to you replying to him’. Sehun thinks he understands, but he doesn’t want to over-imagine things.
“Sorry, guys but this is the end of today’s program! I know, I know. I would love for it to lasts more but we can’t. But don’t worry! I will see you tomorrow as usual at the same time. This is EXO’s most listened program, Love Me Right, and this was your favorite dj, Chen!”
Jongdae starts to tidy the things on the table he was working on.
“The last song for today is not directly connected to our topic but it is a personal favorite. Tomorrow let me know what you think about it. The song is ‘Itch’ by Nothing but Thieves! Bye, guys!” Jongdae removes his headphone and pull them off the computer.
“Can I raise the volume?” Jongdae asks Sehun.
“Sure.” Sehun replied.
Jongdae raises the volume and places himself at the center of the room, in front of one of the microphones owned by the studio.
“Hyung, what are you doing?” Sehun asks.
Jongdae doesn’t reply and smiles at Sehun.
Sehun watches Jongdae carefully and notices he’s controlling his breath.
Then Jongdae starts singing and Sehun thinks he has never seen something so beautiful in his entire life.
Sehun can’t stop looking at Jongdae, who is singing to his heart content and who closed his eyes to reach the highest notes of the song.
Then the refrain stops and Jongdae suddenly drops his voice to reach a lower octave.
Sehun gets closer to Jongdae and Jongdae smirks while singing.
“I just wanna love, I just wanna touch, I just wanna see something” sings Jongdae staring at Sehun.
Sehun gulps and steps forward.
Jongdae closes his eyes and his fists as he gets closer to the high notes of the refrain.
Jongdae starts singing again and Sehun closes the distance between them.
Jongdae doesn’t stop singing and stares openly at Sehun, who raises his hand and caresses the vein of Jongdae’s neck that became evident because of the tension it was exposed to.
Jongdae shivers but he continues singing. Then he suddenly stops and tilts his head. “I know you kept sending me messages asking for advice about your love life, but you should be able to understand that this is a good moment to kiss me.”
“You know you ruined the mood, right?” Sehun asked smiling.
“You know I just want you to kiss me, right?” replies Jongdae smiling back.
“I’m not sure I want to now, since you ruined the mood.” points out Sehun.
“Oh, shut up. C’mon here and kiss me.” says Jongdae stretching his arms towards Sehun.
“Yes, sir!” replies Sehun promptly.
Then Sehun finally leans to press his lips against Jongdae’s. He only pecks Jongdae’s lips though and Jongdae grasps Sehun’s shirt.
“If you think this is enough then, honey, you are entirely wrong.” says Jongdae raising his eyebrow.
“I never said I though that was enough. That was only the beginning.” answers Sehun quite smugly.
“Show me what you got.” challenges Jongdae.
“With pleasure.” Sehun says before pushing Jongdae towards the back of the room.
“What are you doing?” Jongdae asks with a slightly panicked undertone in his voice.
“I know your job is to talk but, for once in your life, just shut up and let me do this properly.” says Sehun continuing to push Jongdae.
“Yes, but what are yo-“ tries to ask again Jongdae,
Jongdae doesn’t finish the sentence because Sehun swiftly push him against the wall and kiss him on the lips.
“This is what I’m going to do.” explains Sehun.
“Finally.” exhales Jongdae.
“Just. Shut. Up” Sehun says separating each word with a peck on Jongdae’s lips.
Sehun picks Jongdae up to push him farther on the wall and Jongdae moans and instinctively wraps his legs around Sehun’s waist. Sehun then takes advantage of Jongdae’s moan to kiss him properly.
“I know you told me I have to shut up, but I really think we should leave the studio now. And with now I mean NOW.” says Jongdae when he manages to get his breath back.
“I don’t think you wanna meat my noisy roommate in this occasion, do you?” asks Sehun.
“Not now, at least. I have something else on my mind.” replies Jongdae.
“Same here. So… your place?” asks Sehun wiggling his eyebrows.
“I thought you would never ask.” Jongdae says before picking his things up and pushing Sehun towards the door.
“Okay, I admit I am not the sharpest when it comes to love and relationships but you’re terrible at this.” exclaims Sehun.
“What do you mean?” asks Jongdae raising his head to look at Sehun.
“Oh, you know. You’ve been rummaging in your bag looking for the key for like the past 5 minutes already.” replies Sehun.
“I’d be faster if you stopped being a huge tease for even a second.” asnwers Jongdae.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” says Sehun touching Jongdae’s nipple through the fabric of his shirt.
“Of course you don’t.” says Jongdae hissing.
“Can you open this freaking door? I am getting kinda impatient here.” states Sehun still teasing Jongdae.
“I noticed, you annoying kid.” says Jongdae.
“Should I stop then?” questions Sehun pretending to distance himself from Jongdae.
“I am gonna kick you where it hurts the most if you even dare. And we both know it would be counterproductive for the both of us. You wouldn’t be able to fuck me and I wouldn’t be able to get fucked. So keep doing what you’ve been doing and I will eventually find the keys. Hopefully.” replies Jongdae.
“I could even get bolder here, but I’m not sure if you’re into voyeurism and sex in public spaces.” says Sehun.
“Sehun.”starts saying Jongdae.
“What? Are you really into voyeurism?” asks Sehun laughing.
“No, idiot. I really can’t find the keys.” replies Jongdae sighing.
“What do you mean?” asks Sehun as he stops teasing Jongdae to properly look at him.
“I mean they’re not in the bag.” replies Jongdae closing his eyes with a pained expression on his face.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” says Sehun staring at Jongdae.
“I wish I was. No keys.” replies Jongdae laughing hysterically.
Sehun stares at Jongdae. “You’re an idiot.” He eventually says.
“In my defense I can say I couldn’t sleep that well last night and this morning I woke up late and I didn’t have time to drink coffee and oh my God I am such an idiot and what am I going to do? I need to call the blacksmith and I don’t have a place to sleep and all my friends are sleeping and tomorrow I have work and… oh gosh.” Jongdae says getting faster and faster as he starts to freak out.
“Jongdae, breath.” says Sehun trying to calm Jongdae down.
“No.”claims Jongdae.
“Breath. It’s okay. Tomorrow we’ll call the smith together and tonight you can stay in my room. My roommate is nosy but he’s not heartless. I’m sure he’ll understand.” Sehun says smiling sweetely.
“Are you sure?” Jongdae asked with a tiny voice while looking at his feet.
“Yes, I am sure.” replies Sehun nodding.
“Are you really sure?” asked Jongdae looking at Sehun from below.
“Jongdae, let’s go. I’m gonna call Jongin now and ask him if he can sleep somewhere else.” says Sehun.
“Okay.” Says Jongdae lowering his gaze once again.
“Just wait here, okay?” asks Sehun taking Jongdae hand in his hands.
Jongdae nods.
Sehun leaves Jongdae’s hand and walks down the alley to dial his friend’s number.
“Jongin, hey I have to ask you a favor.” Sehun says as soon as his friend picks up.
“Tell me and I will tell you if I can help you somehow.”
“My friend forgot his keys inside and he’s kinda freaking out. Can he sleep in our room?” he asks his roommate.
“Oh gosh. Is he okay?”
“Yeah, I think he just feels stupid for forgetting the keys.” he adds trying not to be heard by Jongdae.
Sehun turns around and sees Jongdae crouching on the floor and staring at the door like it was its fault he forgot the keys inside the house.
“No problem by the way. I’ll just crash at Yixing’s place.
“Thank you so much!” he says with emphasis.
“Let me just ask you something.”
“Go on.” prompts Sehun.
“Is he Jongdae?”
“…how did you know?” Sehun asks his friend.
“You usually laugh at people who are stupid enough to close themselves out of their own house, but now you’re all worried and caring. Must be Jongdae then.”
“Yeah. The friend I need to help is Jongdae.” He eventually replies.
“Gotcha. I’ll be out in 5 minutes.”
“Thank you, Nini. I’ll repay you somehow.” he says trying to let his friend perceive just from his voice how grateful he is.
“Don’t worry about it. Just think of taking care of your friend. If you know what I mean.”
“Oh shut up!” says Sehun closing the call.
He walks back towards Jongdae.
“Jongdae?” he calls.
Jongdae lift his head and smiles warily at Sehun.
“Should we go, hyung?” he asks smiling.
“Why do you keep shifting between Jongdae and hyung? Pick one!” claims Jongdae.
“Because I know I should call you ‘hyung’, but I love saying your name. And can we go now please before I say something embarrassing again?” he asks ruffling his hair.
“You’re cute.” replies Jongdae laughing for the first time after the key accident happened.
“Hyung, I am gonna leave you here if you don’t stop teasing me.” says Sehun embarassed.
“Okay okay. Let’s go?” Jongdae asks.
“Sure.” Sehun replies.
“How is your roommate? Will he complain about me sleeping there? Will he ask many questions?” Jongdae starts wondering.
“He won’t be there so don’t worry.” simply replies Sehun.
“Why? Will you try to jump me during the night since we didn’t get to have sex at my place?” says Jongdae wiggling his eyebrows.
“No, idiot. I won’t try to jump you randomly. It’s just that we wouldn’t fit. The room is tiny.” replies Sehun trying to forget Jongdae’s implications.
“I’m tiny too!” states Jongdae.
“But my roommate isn’t.” says Sehun shrugging.
“Gotcha. Wait… How do you fit then? You’re like too tall to be real.” asks Jongdae.
“We fit somehow. Now should we go or should we stay here wondering how I fit in a room you won’t see because we keep talking here delaying our departure?” questions Sehun.
“Annoying kid. I don’t like you. Let’s go then!” says Jongdae hopping towards the stairs.
“You don’t make any sense.” says Sehun shaking his head.
“Glad to hear that!” replies Jongdae laughing.
“I give up. Let’s go, hyung.” says Sehun taking Jongdae’s hand back into his own.
“Let’s go, Sehun.” replies Jongdae smiling at Sehun.
“Hyung, I officially present you my manor.” says Sehun as he opens his arms to show the entirety of his room.
“Wow, it is so small!” announces Jongdae.
“I know. But we couldn’t afford paying for a room outside of the dorms. You know… dance classes cost a lot.” admits Sehun.
“Wait. You take dance classes?” asks Jongdae with a clear interest in his voice and gaze.
“I thought I already told you?” answers Sehun.
“No! You didn’t!” replies Jongdae.
“Uh. So. Yeah. I dance?” says Jongdae shrugging.
“So cool. I thought I knew how to dance. I pretend to know what I’m doing but I’m just a walking disaster when it comes to dance.” admits Jongdae.
“I’m sure you just need a little practice.” says Sehun nodding.
“No, honey. There is a reason why I’m known as the ‘Dasheen Masheen’ and trust me it’s not because I know how to dance.” says Jongdae sporting a hint of red on his cheeks.
“I can kinda imagine the scene.” replies Sehun smiling.
“Don’t laugh!” menaces Jongdae.
“I’m not!” says Sehun obviously laughing.
“Sure.” replies Jongdae pouting.
“Anyhow. Should I give you one of my shorts? I would give you one of my pajamas, but I think you would get lost in them. I’m not saying that you’re short, obviously. I’m just saying you’re… tiny.” concludes Sehun laughing again.
“You bastard. I will let it go just because you’re letting me sleep here and you even had to made your poor roommate sleep somewhere else.” says Jongdae.
“My poor roommate is probably enjoying his alone time with his boyfriend, doing what we were supposed to do at your place.” replies Sehun looking at his nails.
“Not my fault I left my keys.” asnwers Jongdae increasing his pout.
“It isn’t my fault either.” says Sehun.
“But we can still do what we were supposed to do.” states Jongdae wiggling his eyebrows.
“Are you in the mood?” asks Sehun with interest.
“Let’s say I need a way to release my pent up stress.” replies Jongdae.
“Should I be flattered?” asks Sehun not liking the answer one bit.
“Wait, let me say this properly.” tries Jongdae to put it right.
“Uh.” simply says Sehun.
“I do need a way to calm down, but trust me if I tell you that having sex with you won’t calm me down. But I’d be pent up with something else if you don’t have sex with me because I really really really wanted to have sex with you.” explains Jongdae.
Sehun looks Jongdae straight in the eyes.
“You’re not cute. You’re not blushing. I though you would blush.” says Jongdae.
“Sorry, I can’t blush on command.” replies Sehun smiling.
“Sehun, I will make you blush somehow. I will try very hard.” promises Jongdae.
“I’d love to see you trying.” Sehun says.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.” replies Sehun.
“Can we cuddle first?” asks Jongdae with a cute voice.
“Yeah, sure. Why though?” questions Sehun back.
“Because I still feel very stupid and boyfriends are what you need when you need a hug.” replies Jongdae.
“Ah. Okay, sure.” says Sehun trying to hide his face from Jongdae.
“Sehun? you blushing? Oh my!” shouts Jongdae.
“No, I’m not!” replies Sehun.
“You are though! Awwww what a cutie.” says Jongdae laughing.
“Stop it! You’re only making it worse.” states Sehun.
“Why are you blushing though?” Jongdae asks Sehun.
“You kinda implied I am your boyfriend.” Sehun replies.
“Well, yes. What did you think you were?”
“A friend? A close friend? A very close friend?”
“You absolute idiot.” says Jongdae shaking his head.
“It was nice to hear you saying it. That’s it.”
“You’re still an idiot.” states Jongdae.
“Shut up.” says Sehun blushing again.
“A cute idiot.” Adds Jongdae.
“Shut up.” threatens Sehun.
“Can we cuddle now?” asks Jongdae cutely.
“Uh.” says Sehun shrugging.
Jongdae jumps on the bed and hugs the pillow.
“This should be you.” declares Jongdae hugging the pillow tighter.
“Shouldn’t you change first? You’re still wearing jeans.
“You’re right. Can you lend me those shorts then?” asks Jongdae.
“Sure. Let me get them for you.”
“Thanks!”
“No problem.”
Sehun turns around and walks towards the closet.
“Can you lend me also a shirt or something?” Jongdae asks again.
“Yup. Gimme a second.” Sehun replies.
“Take your time.”
When Sehun turns around he sees Jongdae sitting on the bed with his legs crossed.
“I feel kinda anxious.” admits Jongdae.
“What for?” asks Sehun incredulous.
“Just… don’t judge me.”
“Why should I judge you?” asks Sehun.
“Because I’m certainly not as well-built as you.” says Jongdae pouting.
“I don’t care?” replies Sehun.
“I care though.” states Jongdae.
“Just shut up.” says Sehun throwing his pants and shirt at Jongdae.
“Asshole.”
“Sure.”
“Come here.” says Jongdae with an alluring tone.
“Why?” asks Sehun.
“You’d need to come here anyway.”
“Yeah, I know. But is there a specific reason why I should go right now?”
“There is one.” says Jongdae firmly.
“Which is?” questions Sehun.
“You need to undress too.”
“In a sexual way?” asks Sehun raising his eyebrow.
“No, in a ‘don’t you have to put a pajama on?’ way.” replies Sehun rolling his eyes.
“Uh. Okay.”
“You go first.” prompts Jongdae.
“You annoying thing.” exhales Sehun.
“Shut up and get on with it.” says Jongdae making gestures with his hands to make Sehun go faster.
“This is weird.” claims Sehun.
“Shut up I told you.”
“…okay.”
Sehun get closer to the bed and takes off his shirt.
“Shit. I wasn’t prepared. Not at all. I knew you would be like this, but clearly my mind wasn’t ready.”
“Should I turn around or…” starts to ask Sehun.
“I think that would actually be worse.”
“Okay. Then take off yours so you will have to stop staring at me.”
Jongdae kneels on the bed and takes off his shirt.
“Are you kidding me?” asks Sehun with a hint of hysteria in his voice.
“What do you mean?” questions Jongdae opening his eyes widely.
“Are those abs? You have abs. And I see biceps. I see stuff I thought it wasn’t there. And you made me think it wasn’t there. Abs, Jongdae. ABS.” says Sehun.
“Are you freaking out or what?” asks Jongdae laughing.
“I’m freaking out. You’re too hot and I don’t know how to handle this. Forget being cool. How do I deal with you, Jongdae?” exhales Sehun with a pained expression on his face.
“You deal with removing the rest of your clothes, thank you very much.” replies Jongdae smiling.
“Not sure this is how it works, but whatever.”
Sehun unbuttons his jeans while staring at Jongdae, who, on his part, is staring back.
“Should I go on?” he asks.
“Please.” replies Jongdae.
“Okay.”
Sehun starts peeling off his jeans.
“Wait. Give me a second.” Jongdae stops Sehun.
“Whatever.”
Sehun keeps staring at Jongdae who is trying to divert his eyes.
“You can go on.” eventually says Jongdae.
“Okay, Jongdae.” Sehun says.
Sehun finishes peeling off his jeans and let them fall on the floor.
“Oh.” Jongdae breathes out.
“Jongdae?” asks Sehun lifting his head and crossing his arms.
“Oh.” Repeats Jongdae.
“That I knew.” says Sehun laughing.
“How do you hide that?” asks Jongdae pointing at Sehun’s crotch.
“Are you seriously pointing at my crotch?” questions Sehun incredulously.
“Yeah. And I still can’t understand how you hide that.” adds Jongdae still pointing at Sehun’s cock.
“I don’t? I mean. I just put my underwear on? I don’t even know to be honest. But please stop talking about my cock.” Sehun concludes blushing.
“Well, it is an interesting topic.” says Jongdae continuing to stare at Sehun’s lower body.
“Please.” says Sehun fully embarrassed by Jongdae’s behavior.
“Gotcha. I will keep going then.” declares Jongdae finally diverting his eyes.
“Sure.”
Jongdae turns around and faces the wall.
“Why are you facing the wall now?” asks Sehun.
“Because I can’t undress if you look at me.” explains Jongdae.
“This was your idea.” Points out Sehun.
“I know. But still. I can’t undress if someone is looking at me, unless that person is undressing me himself.”
“Interesting.” says Sehun picturing future scenarios in his head.
“I will undress now.” announces Jongdae.
“Okay. Just… how are you planning to remove your jeans while kneeling on the bed? Not that you should change position. This position is very nice to look at. Just… are you that athletic?” asks Sehun.
“You may be right. Wait.” says Jongdae before getting off the bed. “Okay, now.”
Jongdae turns around to face the wall again and unbuttons the jeans.
“Still there?” he asks Sehun.
“Definitely.” replies Sehun staring at Jongdae.
Jongdae unzips his jeans and looks over his shoulder.
“Breath, Sehun.” he says.
“Oh, shut up!” replies Sehun blushing.
Jongdae removes his jeans.
“Fuck me.” exhales Sehun staring at Jongdae’s ass.
“I was thinking you would top, but if that is how you usually do it then I will top.” replies Jongdae wiggling his eyebrow.
“Forget it. Let me fuck you. Now.” Says Sehun shortening the distance separating himself from Jongdae, who is know leaning on his elbows.
“Gladly.” he says stretching his arms out.
Sehun closes the distance between them and finally kisses Jongdae.
Episode CXIV
“Goodmorning, guys! How are you doing? If you were wondering, I’m doing great! I actually have to confess something. You know how Baekhyun tried many times to find me a date with terrible results? Well, looks like this time he was indeed able to hook me up with someone. I know, I know. But I can’t give all the merits to Baekhyun. Let’s say that without the persistence of my boyfriend, who tried to win me over and over again, the first date organized by Baekhyun wouldn’t have ended in us together. And you probably already guessed, but let me say this once for all. Yes, pinkupinku is indeed my boyfriend. So now you know. Gosh, this was hard. But I had to tell you guys. I felt it wasn’t right to hid this news from you, since it is something I’m incredibly happy about and since this is, after all, a program about relationships and love problems. That said, let me now start with today’s topic, which is how to keep a lover once you find one.”
A.N: Thanks for all the people who helped me write this fic and to the prompter who had this amazing idea. I just hopes you somehow liked the fic. I wish I did much better than this, but I truly hope you like it at least a little bit.

Warnings: plot? What is plot? Is that something you eat?
Summary: Sehun is your average college student who has a crush on someone who doesn’t even know he exists, at first. Jongdae is the host for a program dispensing advice and tips on love and relationships. What do they have in common?
Episode I
“Here is your favorite Funky DJ Chen speaking! How are you doing, you gorgeous people? I hope you’re ready to hear some advice about relationships and unrequited love. Ready? Let’s start!”
Sehun stares at the radio hopefully. This is the first time he decides to send a message to Love Me Right, the radio program in which DJ Chen gives advices about love and relationships. He started listening to the program recently, by chance, and now he has become a fervent regular listener of the program. However, he never mastered the courage to send a message to Chen. Until today, apparently.
“So today our first listener who wants to talk about love is a lovely girl going by the username HotSummerLuna. She says that her boyfriend always looks at other girls’ bodies. Luna, darling, we all know how men are. Do some more squats and, trust me, he won’t be able to stop staring at your ass! Trust your Chenchen!”
Sehun clenches his first and bites his lips, waiting to see if the host of the program reads his message.
“Hey, listeners, don’t run away! After this song we will go back to our love problems. The song is, of course, Sistar’s ‘Touch My Body’!”
Sehun stares at the radio again, waiting for the song to end and for Chen to go back to read the messages. He ruffles his hair and bites his lips again, torturing them while waiting, not so patiently, for the host to read the second message.
“The second lucky listener is pinkupinkutransformer! Wow, what a name. This is just… wow. Anyhow! Our crazy listener suffers from unrequited love. Poor baby! I guess he is a boy from the name, even though the pinkupinku part confused me. So I will address this person according to this criterion. Please let me know if I’m wrong by any means! Back to us. Bro, it is sad that the person you like doesn’t even know you exist but it isn’t a big deal. Just run into them and conquer them with your best puppy face mixed with a hint of attractiveness. They will be yours in nooooooo time! Go get’em, boy!”
Sehun laughs to himself listening to the advice the host gave him.
“Guess I’ll try to run into him. We’ll see how it goes!” he says to himself, thinking of a tiny voice and cattish smile.
“Our second song for the day is ‘Eat’ by Zion.T because I love this song and you have to love it too! Okay? I’m joking, guys! But, really, it is a great song!”
Sehun turns off the radio and start getting ready to go to university, where his friends will wait for him to go together to the class where they have the lesson of the day.
Sehun is well aware, though, that his friends will probably tease him because of his crush and because of how he decided to ask for help to a radio love program, instead of listening to Jongin’s or Yixing’s ideas, which, according to Sehun, were simply impossible to put into practice. Like, how was he supposed to talk directly to the guy he likes and tell him how he feels? Not doable. And how was he supposed to meet the guy’s friends casually and become friends with them, in order to get closer to the guy obviously? Not achievable.
So, in the end, he decided to ask for the help of a, supposedly, expert in the matter. Kyungsoo was the one who told him about the radio program and Sehun decided to give it a try. The guy seems funny and he gives cute and easy to carry out advices, so Sehun decided to listen to the radio program and to write a message to the host, hoping to get a solution to his problem.
The guy is probably right, by the way. Sehun should try to run into the guy he likes. But is more probable that the guy he likes will run into him somehow. Sehun started seeing him in random places a month ago and the guy looked like he had a lot of friends and like he knew what his place in the world was, something that Sehun is quite far from achieving. In fact, he is still struggling to understand what he wants to do with his life and how to combine hobbies and duties. And he is quite sure he won’t be able to find a solution to the problem. Not that he doesn’t want to find a solution. He’s just sure the solution is far unreachable for him. Sad life. Sehun could write a book on his life. Life of a young human being with no prospective in the future whatsoever. Yes.
Sehun stopped wondering how he should start the first page of the book, first pages are crucial okay?, when he heard the clock placed on the main building of his university rang. He then started walking towards the building where his major, astrophysics, is placed. However, he didn’t stop thinking about the cute guy he wants to meet and the message he should write the day after to Chen, the host of the love program on the radio.
Jongdae stretches his arms above his head as he walks away from the building he was working in for the past two hours. He loves his works, he really does, but sometimes he just wants to tell people to solve their love problems themselves and to stop bothering him, since he himself has problems in the field that he clearly doesn’t know how to solve. In fact, he hasn’t been in a relationship for quite a while and he doesn’t even know why. So sometimes he feels like he is pulling a joke on all of his listeners, like those tarot card readers who invent a complicated story to tell their customers, instead of admitting they have no idea what they are doing. This is precisely what Jongdae thinks he’s doing. He’s cheating. And it doesn’t feel right. He stares at the cloud and hopes to find a lover soon. Actually, he just hopes he will randomly run into that cute guy with the serious face. The one who looks like he’s fighting a battle with himself. The cute cute cute guy who thanked him and smiled at him just because he kept the door open for him. Jongdae is sure this is not going to evolve in any way, but it still feels good to even think that someone is cute. And attractive, because damn, that boy was hot. But mostly cute.
It’s not like Jongdae hasn’t looked around these past years, but apart from the casual lovers he was able to find through friends of friends of friends of friends, he couldn’t find anyone to start a serious relationship with. And Jongdae started wondering if there was something wrong with him. The only reason he managed to convince himself that there is nothing wrong with me is ‘Love me right’, the radio program he is a host for.
He was looking for a job, and when Baekhyun told him that the previous host wanted to quit, he didn’t even think twice about it and presented his CV, without realizing that he would have to deal with tons of love problems. He wasn’t ready for it. Especially because he had no idea of what to tell people, but apparently the listeners liked his advices and he started to believe a little more in himself. Most of all, though, he understood that he wasn’t the only one who had serious issues in finding the right person. So he calmed down, and he started enjoying the job.
Now Jongdae adores his job and he wouldn’t change it with anything else, and even though he still wonders when he will find someone right for himself, he was able to help many people find and keep their precious ones. And he is proud of it.
The major issue is that his friends, led by the one and only Byun Baekhyun, started throwing him flying numbers and pictures of people he may like, when they didn’t directly organized him a date, pressuring him to stop being a loner and to start enjoying life. It’s not like he is opposed to this method. He even found someone interesting to hang out with. It’s just that he doesn’t like this slightly forced way of finding a lover. Jongdae tried to tell Baekhyun and Chanyeol that he would look for a lover himself, but his friends just laughed their head off when he said so and now he’s back with Baekhyun and Chanyeol scheming to trick him into dates.
Jongdae is actually getting tired of having to put himself on a pedestal to be observed by his potential future lovers. He just wants to find someone who likes him because of who he is and who genuinely wants to get to know him just because they feel like it. He even started to think that maybe he should ask the cute guy on a date. To show his friends that he is still able to find himself a date, but most of all because he wants to. He is not a soothsayer though so he cannot foresee what the guy would reply. First, the guy doesn’t know him. Second, what the hell? Jongdae would probably reply ’what the hell’ if someone he never saw before asked him on a date. The guy would probably reply the same and Jongdae would probably go cry in a corner, trying to avoid Baekhyun’s ‘I told you so’s.
Whatever. He will think about what to do when he gets to meet the cute guy again. Who knows what may happen.
Episode XXV
“Yo, guys! No, wait. Let me do it properly.”
Sehun groans as his radio alarm turns on and greets him with the voice of the host of his new favorite radio show.
“Good morning, Korea! This is your favorite funky DJ waking you up and making you come back to life. How are you today, my cutiepies? I hope you slept well! Or, rather, I hope you didn’t sleep at all, if you know what I mean.”
Sehun blushes and hides his face in his pillow. Six months have passed from the first time he listened to the radio program and he still can’t get used to Chen’s witty comments. He didn’t get to conquer his unrequited love of the time but he’s happy with his current life and condition.
“If you were wondering, yes, I am wiggling my eyebrows.”
Sehun blushes even more and rolls on the bed.
“Yo, lazy asses. Get up!”
Sehun promptly gets up as if the host was speaking directly to him.
“I gave you a subtle hint about today’s topic and if you got it then please send me a message with a question related to it! I must admit I am being very nerdy with this so if you can’t get it right don’t worry. It’s probably obvious just for me. Okay, I will probably be embarrassed for the rest of the program if no one catch it, but I will manage somehow.”
Sehun thinks for a second and then runs to get his cellphone, which was charging on the other side of the room.
“Got you, hyung!” he says to himself while writing the message. “Done!” he then says smiling to himself.
“We already have a message! Wow, guys. You’re fast! Let me read the message. ‘Good morning, hyung! Can you please give us some advices about movie dates? pinkupinkutransformer’”
Sehun laughs openly hearing the DJ says his username.
“pinkupinku, let me tell you something. I knew you would get it! I’m so proud of you I feel like crying sobsob. You’re probably my most hardcore fan! Like, seriously. I’m so moved hahaha!”
Sehun blushes again and then laughs because he is happy to hear the host praising him and because he just loves the host’s laugh.
“Hell yes I am!” Sehun says laughing again and walking towards the pile of clothes laying on the chair in his room. “What should I wear?” he ask himself.
“Guys, I almost forgot! It’s really hot today so go grab a tank top and show the world your guns. Or, If you are a girl, go show your legs!”
“Should I?” Sehun asks himself picking up a tank top as the host said. “Whatever.” He says putting it on.
“And now, if I don’t get distracted again in the meanwhile, I will start talking today’s topic, aka what to do on a movie date. But first, let me pass the first song of today, which was chosen by our manager, Baekhyun. The song is ‘Variegated’ by Jannabi and you may or not know it but it was used in the soundtrack of the ‘Ex-Girlfriend Club’ drama so it is somehow connected to our topic.”
Sehun finishes getting ready and takes his backpack from the corner where he throw it the night before. He gets closer to the door of his room and turn around to wave at his roommate, Jongin, who just woke up.
“Bye, Nini.” He says to Jongin. “I’ll be back around noon.”
“Gotcha. See you later, then.” Replies Jongin before lifting his sheet over his head.
Sehun closes the door behind himself and leaves to attend his classes.
Episode XXXII
“Guys, I was thinking that I should look for a job. My family told me they will keep paying for college, but they can’t afford to pay for the dance classes too. Do you happen to know someone who is looking for a job?” asks Sehun to his group of friends, which include Jongin, Yixing, and Kyungsoo.
“I heard Junmyeon saying his part-timer quit last week. Why don’t you try to ask him?” replies Kyungsoo.
“Junmyeon as in the bubble tea shop owner Junmyeon?” Sehun asks back.
“Yup, Junmyeon as in Kyungsoo’s special friend.” Replies Jongin.
“Shut up, Jongin.” Says Kyungsoo turning his head to frown at Jongin. “Yes, that Junmyeon. The shop owner. It would be a perfect job for you. You love bubble tea and you’re kinda cute. The girls, and the guys too, will love it! And I’m sure will be more than happy to have a young guy to spoil. Do you want me to call him for you?” asks Kyungsoo to Sehun.
“Oh yes please. That would save my life! Thanks, hyung!” answers Sehun smiling.
“No big deal! I guess I could do it now, so you won’t go crazy waiting for my message.”
“I won’t go crazy…” says Sehun while pouting.
“Shut up. We all know you would.” Answers Kyungsoo.
“…maybe.” Eventually admits Sehun.
“Now shut up and let me call Junmyeon.” Said Kyungsoo before taking his smartphone out of his pocket.
“Junmyeon, Kyungsoo speaking. Hi! Yeah, I’m good. No, I’m not watching Pororo. I’m at university, you bastard. Oh, shut up. You’re far worse than me. Now shut up and let me tell you why I called!”
Sehun leans closer to Kyungsoo to try to listen to what the person on the other side of the telephone is saying.
“You have no part-timer at the moment, right? Uhuh, thought so. Yeah, I know you told me. No, it’s not true I wasn’t listening to you. I was… distracted. Kinda. Do you really want to talk about this now? I’m in public.”
Sehun giggles seeing that Kyungsoo is blushing and avoiding his gaze.
“Stop it! I was saying… Do you want one? A part-timer I mean. My friend is looking for a job and I think you could use him pretty well. He’s cute and he loves bubble tea. What do you say?” asks Kyungsoo turning to look at Sehun.
Sehun leans even closer.
“Tomorrow at 9? I think it’s okay. Wait a second. Sehun, woooo you’re too close.”
Sehun takes a step back.
“By the way, is tomorrow morning okay for you?” Kyungsoo asks turning his head slightly around.
Sehun smiles and nods.
“The kid says tomorrow is fine. Yup. I will take him there. Why, you ask? You’re too embarrassing. You need me to avoid becoming the fool you usually are. Thank me later. Bye, Junmyeon! Thank you!” says Kyungsoo before smiling at Sehun.
“Hyung?” says Sehun.
“What?” asks Kyungsoo.
“Thank you!” Sehun exclaimed hugging Kyungsoo.
“Ok, I get it. Now stop hugging me, you big boy.”
“Gotta go now. Thank again, hyung! Bye!” says Sehun running away and smiling to whoever walked past him.
“Kids these days.” Sighs Kyungsoo although smiling to himself.
He walks away whistling and takes his telephone out of the pocket of his jeans.
He dials a number he knows by heart.
“Junmyeon, going back to what I was telling you…”
He keeps walking away.
Episode ILIII
“Goodmorning! What would you like to order?” asks Sehun smiling at the customer.
He gets the order and turns around to get it ready.
“wow, kid. Who thought you would be this good at this job.” Says Junmyeon patting Sehun on his arm, he gave up trying patting Sehun on his shoulder the first time he realized that he was several centimeters taller than Junmyeon.
“Hyung, I told you I learn pretty fast. And I like the job. So, yeah.” Replies Sehun finishes the drink.
“Just keep doing what you usually do and you can keep staying here for the rest of your life.” Says Junmyeon.
“Chill. I’d love a better future, thank you very much.” Replies Sehun before turning around and handing out the drink he prepared to the customer.
“Whatever, kid. Just don’t abandon me without giving me time to find a decent substitute, okay?” asks Junmyeon leaning against the counter.
“Sure. Now go away, hyung. Please. I get distracted if you try to talk to me. And you don’t want me to get distracted while preparing a drink, do you?” ask Sehun smiling cutely to Junmyeon.
“Annoying kid.” States Junmyeon sighing and starting to walk towards his office. “A customer is coming in, by the way. He’s a regular so treats him well, uh?” says Junmyeon before closing the door to his office.
Sehun mocks Junmyeon worried face and then smile when he sees that the customer is getting closer to the counter.
“Oh!” he then exclaims.
“Oh! Look who’s here!” replies the customer.
Sehun stares at the customer and sees a cat smile and a well-proportioned face.
I’m so damn screwed. Sehun starts panicking.
He never thought he would manage to meet again the cute guy he had a crush on, and especially he would have never imagined he would get to meet him where the works.
“We met on campus, didn’t we?” asks the customer.
“Yes, we did. We actually run into each other a few times.” answers Sehun trying to sound neutral and not interested.
“Right! I’ve seen you around when I met my friends on campus.” Replies the customer smiling. “I guess you’re a student there then?” he asks to Sehun.
“Yeah. I’m an astrophysics student.” Replies Sehun smiling back.
“Cool stuff!” states the customer.
“Are you also a student there?” Sehun dares to ask.
“Nah. I just hang out there with my friends, who are student at your university.” Replies the customer.
“I see. What do you do then?” ask Sehun again.
“I work and try to survive.” He replies.
“That’s what we all do.” States Sehun nodding.
“Right?” says the customer smiling again. “I’m Jongdae, by the way. You will see me around quite a lot since I work in this area so it’s better if you know the name of the person you have to deal with.” Says Jongdae, as Sehun got to learn, laughing.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Sehun.” Replies Sehun smiling.
“I know.” Says Jongdae.
“What?” asks Sehun dumbly.
“You have a nametag.” Replies Jongdae smirking.
“Oh. Yeah. Right. Nametag.” Says Sehun staring at his nametag, as it did something wrong, like existing without Sehun realizing it.
“Oh, dear. I talked quite a while with you.” Declares Jongdae watching at his clock. “Could you give me a black tea mango flavored bubble tea, please?” he asks to Sehun.
“Sure! Give me one second.” Says Sehun turning around to get the drink ready.
“Anyhow… When did you start working here? I’ve never seen you around before.” Asks Jongdae.
“A week ago? Or something like that.” Replies Sehun still making the drink.
“That makes sense. I didn’t get to have my usual bubble tea last week. I was last basically every day.” Admits Jongdae.
“Well, that can happen.” Says Sehun nodding.
“That makes me feel better.” States Jongdae laughing.
“You’re drink is ready!” states Sehun turning around and smiling at Jongdae.
“You’re fast! I’ve already put the money there. Bye, Sehun. It was nice to meet you again randomly like this!” says Jongdae.
“The same goes for me. Have a nice day!” replies Sehun smiling.
“Bye!” says Jongdae one last time before leaving the shop.
I’m so fucking screwed now.
Sehun facepalms against the wall repeatedly and stops only when Junmyeon hurries out of his office to see what the commotion is about.
“Are you trying to kill yourself?” asks Junmyeon to Sehun.
“That was my intention.” Replies Sehun.
“Not during the work hours, please.” States Junmyeon.
“I will try to remember it, hyung.”
“Now go back to being cute and do your job.” Says Junmyeon. “Was Jongdae so stressful?” he asks to Sehun.
“You have no idea.” Exhales Sehun before turning around towards the door and he hears the sound of the door opening up to let a new customer in.
How the hell did this happened?
Jongdae keeps wondering how he managed to meet the cute guy he always saw randomly on campus in the shop he always goes to as he continues powerwalking towards the building where he works. He walks and he can’t stop thinking that maybe maybe, for once, karma doesn’t hate him that much. This is the only thing Jongdae could think of while walking away from the bubbletea shop. That he has a chance. That he can actually ask the guy out. He even knows the guy name now. This may work. He will go back to the shop tomorrow and he will talk again with the guy. With Sehun. Jongdae smiles and starts skipping once he gets closer to his workplace.
Episode LVII
“Good morning, hyung!” says Sehun as he sees Jongdae entering the shop.
“Hi there!” replies Jongdae.
“Why is your voice so low today?” Sehun asks when he notices that Jongdae is talking with a low voice and putting a lot of attention in how he uses his voice.
“I think I’m getting sick or something like that. My voice is failing me and I can’t afford it. So I’m trying to keep it down to preserve as much as I can.” Replies Jongdae smiling warily.
“I’m sorry to hear this. Do you want, maybe, to get a hot drink instead of a cold one this time? It may help.” Says Sehun.
“I think you’re right. I should avoid cold things. So, yeah, please make it hot this time.” replies Jongdae.
“Sure. I will bring it to you. So just sit down there for a second.” says Sehun pointing at a table in the shop.
“Okay!” answers Jongdae smiling.
Sehun starts making the tea and he wonders how he could help Jongdae, because it pains him to see his crush hurt.
“Hyung.” He suddenly says.
“Yeah?” replies Jongdae.
“If you don’t say anything about it to Junmyeon I will give you a free cookie.” Says Sehun looking at Jongdae.
“A cookie?” asks Jongdae.
“Yeah. You’re sick and I don’t know how to make it better since I’m stuck here and you have to go to work, but I have to do something. So I thought about giving you a cookie. You need cookies in moments like this.” States Sehun with a serious face.
“Cute kid.” Says Jongdae laughing. “I will accept your cookie and I promise I won’t tell Junmyeon.”
“This is our secret then.” Claims Sehun.
“Mega secret.”confirms Jongdae.
Sehun gets the tea he was preparing, walks past the counter and hands Jongdae the cookie with a serious face.
“Please don’t be sick.” He says to Jongdae while looking at him in the eyes.
Jongdae just takes the cookie and nods.
“Have a nice day, hyung. I gotta go back to work!” exclaims Sehun before hurrying behind the counter.
“You too, Sehun.” Jongdae replies walking out of the shop.
What the hell am I doing?
Sehun thinks he’s gone crazy. Like, did he seriously hand a cookie to his crush? What a childish thing to do. A cookie. To a grown-up man. A freaking cookie.
Sehun wants to dig a hole in the ground to bury himself there and never come up again. Now Jongdae probably thinks he is an idiot or just a stupid kid who works in the shop he usually goes to. He won’t ever see him as a guy to date.
Good job, Sehun. Way to conquer your crush.
Sehun starts frowning and doesn’t even try to smile when he hears the door opening.
“Woah there. What happened to you?” asks Kyungsoo as he enters the shop.
“I’ve probably ruined any change I could have to conquer the guy I like. And this happened because I’m an immature idiot.” Replies Sehun deepening his frown.
“What have you done?” asks Kyungsoo walking closer to the counter.
“Weren’t you here for Junmyeon?” asks Sehun. “You should go. Don’t ruing your mood with my stupid love problems.” He adds.
“They’re not stupid love problems if you’re frown is that deep. Just tell me what happened, uh? Junmyeon can wait.” Says Kyungsoo before jumping on the counter to sit right next to Sehun.
“Are you sure?” asks Sehun side-eyeing his friend.
“Of course. Now tell me everything.” Says Kyungsoo smiling to Sehun.
“Okay. So. He was kinda sick and I noticed because his voice tone was different from the usual one. I wanted to make him feel better somehow and I thought about giving him a cookie. I know it’s stupid, but I couldn’t do anything else from beyond the counter. And now he probably thinks I’m an idiot or something like that.” Sehun tells Jongdae.
“I’m actually pretty sure he thinks your gesture was cute. I mean, you just wanted to make him feel better, right? I think it’s cute!” says Kyungsoo with conviction.
“Really?” asks Sehun.
“I promise. Now stop frowning and go back to work. I’m sure he doesn’t think you’re stupid. Go!” says Kyungsoo.
“Thanks, hyung!” replies Sehun smiling.
“Smile, kid!” states Kyungsoo jumping off the counter and patting Sehun on his butt.
“Thanks a lot. Please now go to Junmyeon. I can feel his ominous aura from here. He’s probably trying to kill me with his thoughts right on this moment. I can’t keep you away from here. Go, hyung. Go!” says Sehun pushing Kyungsoo towards Junmyeon’s office.
“I’m going, I’m going. You don’t need to push me.” Declares Kyungsoo.
“Bye, hyung!” says Sehun in a cute voice.
“Bye, annoying kid!” replies Kyungsoo.
Sehun laughs to himself as he imagine the face Junmyeon is probably sporting in this moment. The he stops smiling and he starts thinking about what he could do to make sure that he didn’t nullify his chances to ask Jongdae on a date.
He gave me a cookie.
Jongdae walks towards his office and, as usual, keeps repeating what has happened in the bubble tea shop in his head.
Sehun gave him a cookie. To make him feel better.
Jongdae takes the cookie out of his bag and looks at it.
“Hi there, cookie. You will never get eaten because you were given to me by a cute person who had very noble and cute intensions and I can never eat you. Sorry about it!” says Jongdae to the cookie. Then he realizes what he is doing and he stops abruptly.
Now I’m even talking to a cookie. I must have gone crazy. This kid is making me lose my control.
Jongdae keeps walking towards the studio and tries to forget about the ‘cookie accident’, as he decided to call it in his head.
However, he can’t stop smiling as he accelerate his pace.
“Good morning, Seoul! Here, as usual, is your favorite DJ speaking, who just loves to give you advices and tips about love. Today our them is… sweets! Don’t worry. I haven’t gone crazy yet. I was just thinking that a relationship can’t be called serious if there hasn’t been at least one date at a bakery shop. So, yeah. This is your topic of the day. Sweets and their implications. Actually, something related to sweets happened to me and I just had to use that occasion to talk about sweet dates with you. Our first song of the day is either ‘Ice Cream Love’ by Yellow Monsters or ‘Ice Cream Cake’ by Red Velvet. Please send me a message telling me which one you prefer. Now, let me read the first message. Oh, hi there pinkupink. I missed you! Where were you? Did you manage to get your date? Sorry, I’m talking by myself and you can’t reply. I swear I’m gonna read you message. And I’m doing it now. Let me read it for all of ours listeners. ‘Hi, Chen hyung. What to do when you try to do something nice but apparently stupid and you want to avoid destroying all the chances you had to conquer the person you like. And yes, it is connected to sweets, but it is too long of a story.’ Oh, man. What to do you say? Well, if the gesture was nice the other person probably perceived it as such. So don’t worry too much about it and just wait until the next occasion to talk to that person and see how it goes. Now let ask you guys, and you pinkupinku, something. What to do when you can’t handle the person you like because they’re just too cute and they keeps doing tiny gestures that are just so damn cute? This is my question of the day. Why would I ask something like that you ask? Well, I’ve got my reasons. Now, back to our topic and to our songs. The final choice was… ‘Ice Cream Cake’ by Red Velvet. But don’t worry. I will pass the other song later. I will be back once the songs ends. Talk to you later, guys!”
Episode LXVII
“Guys! Today is the day of the section of the program in which we will ask you a question through our homepage and one lucky listener who will be the fastest to either call us or message us gets to receive an amazing prize. Aren’t you excited? Because I am! Today our question for ‘Call me baby!’ was picked by our amazing, please note the flattering tone, manager. I have no idea of what the question could be and I didn’t get to pick the prize this time. So I’m probably even more curious than you are about it! Anyhow, go check the homepage. In the meanwhile, I will pass a song. The song I personally chose is ‘Uptown Funk’. Why? Because I’m your funky DJ Chen, of course! Also because I like the song and it makes me want to dance. But mostly because it could be my personal jingle! See you in a bit!”
Sehun opens the homepage of the program and looks for the question. He widens his eyes.
This can’t be the question. He says to himself.
He decides then to read it out loud to see whether he is right or if he just completely misread the question.
‘The question of the day is… Would you date our funky DJ Chen?’
I guess this really is the question. It looks like a joke though. Let me ask about it.
Sehun types his question and almost immediately forgets about it, distracted by the paper he has to work on.
“Guys, I’m back! So… let’s call our lucky winner for today’s game! Mr. pinkupinkutransformer, are you there?” Sehun hears dj Chen saying.
Sehun stares at his phone blankly before realizing it was ringing. He picks it up.
“Oh. Hi?”
“Hi there! You were the fastest, weren’t you?”
“I guess so. But are you sure that was the actual question?”
“Why?
“Well… how can I say it? Did you personally chose the question?”
“You know the manager did. Why though?”
“Ah. Nothing. Just… hehe.”
“You are weird, dude. Anyway! I just received the piece of paper with the question and the prize written on it. What could it be? I’m curious too! And it is… ARE YOU SERIOUS?”
“…me?”
“No, pinkupinku. You didn’t do anything. I was wondering if our manager lost it.”
“Why? What’s wrong? What is the prize?”
“Let me read the question first. The question was ‘would you date our funky DJ Chen?’. What was your reply?”
“I thought it was a joke so I answered ‘is that even a question’ or something like that.”
“Well, apparently it’s not a joke.”
“Oh.”
“Exactly.”
“And what is the prize?”
“Apparently you’re gonna visit the studio and you are also gonna be my guest on the program and…”
“And?”
“And it looks like you also have to take me on a date or something.”
“…what.”
“Don’t ask me. I will read what it says. ‘To test whether our love advisor was able to communicate the matter effectively we are giving one lucky listener a chance to put into practice all that they have learned through this program. Enjoy!’”
“You’re got to be kidding me.”
“Trust me. I wish I was.”
“So…”
“So you will have to come here?”
“Gosh. When?”
“Our manager will contact you about it. Are you happy?”
“I’m not sure, to be honest.”
“Oh, c’mon. Be happy! You’re going to meet me. No. I’m kidding. Don’t be too happy. Bye!”
Dj Chen hangs up and Sehun is left staring at his phone.
What even…
Episode LXX
“I swear, Byun Baekhyun, that I’m going to kill you in the most painful way so that you’d be left agonizing till the end of your life.” threatenes Jongdae.
“I wanna see you trying.” Replies Baekhyun.
“Why would you do something like that to me?” asks Jongdae checking his image in the mirror.
“Because you clearly needed my help and because you will thank me later.”
“How do you know I will thank you and I will not try to strangle you?”
“Just a feeling.”
“You and your damn feelings.”
Baekhyun just smiles at Jongdae like he knows everything Jongdae wants to know and he won’t tell him because he’s a bastard and he enjoys seeing Jongdae suffers.
“Anyhow. What time is the guy getting here?” Jongdae asks Baekhyun.
“He should be here around five or something like that. He told me he has class before that so he can’t get here any sooner than that.” Replies Baekhyun.
“Gotcha. And how are we supposed to recognize him?”
“Oh, you know. The usual. Just a red rose between his teeth and a flowing napkin coming out of his jacket.” Says Baekhyun smiling.
“I hope you’re joking.” Replies Jongdae.
“Of course I am!”
“When you are involved, nothing is certain. The question remains. How are we gonna know who he is?”
“He’s just gonna ring the bell saying he is the guy. Easy!”
“I don’t like this.”
“Shut up.”
“I still don’t like this.”
“Just shut up. I’m leaving.” Says Baekhyun turning away and walking towards the exit of the studio.
“Don’t you dare leaving me!” shouts Jongdae.
“Duh” says Baekhyun already with a leg out of the door.
“Why do I have to have a bastard as a friend?” Sighs Jongdae.
Jongdae starts waiting for the listener to get to the studio. He cleans up the studio, he checks his image again, he hums a song, he reads the last upload of the webtoon he is currently following, and he gives up on waiting. He stands up and walks towards the door.
“It’s almost five. He will get there soon. I am probably not ready for this but whatever.” He says out loud.
Then he sits on one of the chairs in the studio and starts waiting again.
Jongdae eventually falls asleep trying to wait for his regular listener to get there and, indeed, he is suddenly awaken by the sound of the intercome.
Jongdae promptly stands up and walks to where the intercom is.
“Yes?” he says and his voice crack on the last letter of the word.
“Chen hyung?” he hears a voice from the other side of the intercom saying.
“Yup! That would be me. Are you pinkupinku then?” he asks to the voice.
“Yeah. I’m late though. Sorry about it.”
“No worries!” he reassures the voice. “Come up! The studio is on the 14th floor.” He adds.
“Oh. ‘kay.”
Then the voice hangs up and Jongdae is left waiting again.
Jongdae has never been the type to wait patiently for something to happen so he walks towards the door of the elevator to greet his guest as soon as he puts his feet on the moquette of the floor where the studio is.
He gets his best smile ready when he hears the ‘ting’ of the elevator approaching the floor and he freezes when he sees who is in the elevator.
“What the hell are you doing here?” he asks to the person in the elevator.
“What is this?” is the only reply he gets.
“Sehun, why are you here?” he asks again.
“I could ask you the same. Why are you here, Jongdae hyung?” Sehun asks from the door.
“Oh gosh. Are you really pinkupinku?” Jongdae asks to Sehun.
“I really am. But are you really Chen? This is messed up.” Sehun replies.
“I’m gonna kill Baekhyun. I swear I am going to.” Jongdae says leaning against the wall.
“Well. Do you want me to leave? You don’t seem too happy to see I’m pinkupinku.” Sehun asks Jongdae.
“Hell no! You stay here!” Jongdae says vehemently.
“Oh. Okay.” Is the only thing Sehun manages to reply.
“Just give me one second to process this and I promise I’ll make you do the tour of the studio.”
“Take your time, hyung.” Replies Sehun.
Sehun then turns around and start looking around the hallway where he was received by the last person he expected to see there.
“The place where you work seems nice.” He says to Jongdae, who is still leaning against the wall but who is also staring intently at Sehun.
“Thanks. Wanna look around seriously?” he asks Sehun.
“Sure. Lead the way!” he replies smiling for the first time since he entered the building.
Jongdae walks past Sehun and starts skipping in the hallway.
“This is the conference room.” He says pointing at a room with a big round table in the middle of it and with a series of chairs around it.
“Uh.” Replies sehun.
“This is the bathroom.” He says again waving his hands in the direction of the above-mentioned bathroom.
“Interesting.” Says Sehun.
“Kid, be cute and show interest.” Jongdae says turning around to stare at Sehun.
“Sorry. The bathroom! Wow!” says Sehun feigning interest.
“…I give up.” Asnwers Jongdae.
“Sorry, hyung. I’m still shocked to see you here. I know you never told me what your job was, but I would have never though it would be this.” States Sehun.
“I’m shocked too, to be honest.” Replies Jongdae.
“Hyung.” Starts to say Sehun.
“What?” asks Jongdae.
“Are you in a relationship then?” Sehun finally asks.
Jongdae blushes and averts his eyes.
“Do you think I am?” he asks Sehun.
“Why not? You could be in a relationship.” Replies Sehun.
“I’m not though.” Asnwers Jongdae with a tiny voice.
“Oh.” Replies Sehun.
If Jongdae would have lifted his head he would have seen smiling triumphantly to himself. However, he doesn’t see Sehun smiling because he is still very concentrated on studying the pattern on the moquette of the floor.
“Hyung, that’s perfectly okay! As you already know I’m not in a relationship and I like someone who probably doesn’t even think of me that way. It’s not a big deal. I mean, it could be. But it doesn’t seem a problem to me. I was just wondering how you ended up giving this type of advice considering that you are not in a relationship. But you’re good at what you do! So… whatever!” says Sehun smiling at the end of the speech.
“Thanks?” replies Jongdae blushing even more.
“You’re welcome!” says Sehun.
“Now,” starts Jongdae clearing his voice. “the studio is that way!” he says walking where the studio supposedly is.
Sehun just smiles seeing Jongdae walk in front of him and thinks that maybe for once something was turning the right way even for him.
“You can say to have visited the studio now. What do you think?” Jongdae asks Sehun.
“I thought it would be bigger, but I can clearly see that you’re the one working there.” He replies.
“What do you mean?” asks Jongdae.
“I don’t know how to explain it. I can just feel it.” Replies Sehun.
“Oh. Okay!” says Jongdae.
“Hyung, I was wondering…” Sehun suddenly says.
“Yes?” says Jongdae prompting Sehun to continue what he was saying.
“When can I come back? I mean… I get to be a guest on your program, right? But we’re already in the afternoon so today is not good. So, when can I come back?” he finally asks to Jongdae.
“Right. Well, we’ll have a special episode in the afternoon slash night, I’m not too sure yet. I guess you could come that way if it doesn’t clash with your classes.” Replies Jongdae.
“Okay! That sounds good!” says Sehun.
“Now…” starts saying Jongdae.
“Now what?” asks Sehun.
“Now you have to take me on a date!” replies Jongdae.
“Oh, right. I don’t have that much money though.” Sehun says smiling warily.
“I don’t care!” states Jongdae. “So let’s go!” he shouts assuming an heroic pose.
“No, hyung. You go first.” Says Sehun making a movement with his arms to indicate that Jongdae should go first since he’s older.
Jongdae is about to object and talk back when he hears the first notes of a song he knows too well.
“Please no.” he says turning towards Sehun.
“Hyung, why is ‘Careless Whispers’ playing?” Sehun asks.
“I have no clue, but I guess our lovely manager forgot to mention he would spy on us from somewhere in the building to tease us like this!” he says raising his voice to be heard by Baekhyun, who Jongdae now knows for sure is in the building.
“Should we go anyway?” Sehun asks.
“Yes, better run away before the situation degenerates.” he says and starts walking towards the elevator.
“Hyung.” Sehun says.
“What now?” replies Jongdae.
“It got worse.” states Sehun.
“How?” Jongdae asks.
“Like this.” Says Sehun pointing to the ceiling.
Jongdae facepalms against the wall as he recognizes the first notes of ‘Kiss the girl’ from ‘the Little Mermaid’.
“Oh gosh.” Says Jongdae. “Run away, Sehun. Run!” he says before taking Sehun’s wrist and trying to pull him towards the elevator.
Sehun laughs and lets Jongdae pull him.
“Where should we go?” he asks smiling as Jongdae struggles to move him, who is much taller than he is.
“Let me get the further I can from this building first.” says Jongdae.
“Ok, hyung. Just do your thing.” replies Sehun.
“Bastard.” states Jongdae.
“Nah.” says Sehun.
“You’re too tall by the way.” claims Jongdae.
“We both know it’s not true. You’re just too tiny to pull me properly.” replies Sehun. “And you know we could probably wo faster if you’d let me to the opposire?” asks Sehun as he make a torsion with his body to stop Jongdae, who was walking slightly ahead of him, and take his wrist to make him walk faster.
“Woah there, kid.” says Jongdae when Sehun starts pulling him.
“Don’t object and follow me. I know where to go.” claims Sehun still pulling Jongdae by the wrist.
“Let’s go then!” exclaims Jongdae removing Sehun’s hand from his wrist.
Sehun raises his eyebrow in a questioning way.
Jongdae notices and smiles before taking Sehun’s hand in his hand and linking their fingers together.
“This is more comfortable.” He just says smiling.
Sehun nods and smiles back getting Jongdae’s hand steady in his own.
“Let’s go then!” he says.
“Sure!” replies Jongdae as he starts walking again.
Sehun can’t stop smiling and he thinks he probably has never smiles this much in his entire life.
Episode LXXI
“So how did your meeting with the DJ go?” Kyungsoo ask Sehun as soon as he sits down.
“Hyung, do you remember the reasons why I started to listen to that program?” Sehun asks back.
“Of course I do.” replies Kyungsoo. “So what?” he asks again.
“Well. Chen, the DJ, ended up being the precise reason why I started listening to ‘Love me right’.” replies Sehun.
“Are you trying to tell me that the guys you had a crush on and the DJ on that program are the same person?” Kyungsoo asks opening his eyes wide.
“Yup.” Sehun replies simply.
“This is golden.” States Kyungsoo.
“Duh.” Replies Sehun.
“So… how did it go?” insists Kyungsoo.
“It went well, I guess?” replies Sehun.
“Sehun.” says Kyungsoo.
“What?” he asks.
“You won’t fool me. I know you too well. And you’re even smiling to making it more obvious.” Says Kyungsoo.
“Oh.” Replies Sehun.
“Awwww, our Sehunnie is happy!” he states getting closer to Sehun to bump their shoulders together.
“Shut up, hyung.” Says Sehun starting to feel his cheeks getting redder and redder.
Kyungsoo just laughs and takes his telephone out of his backpack.
“I have to tell Junmyeon. This is too awesome!”he states still smiling openly.
“No, please don’t. He won’t stop talking if you tell him.” complains Sehun.
“That’s precisely what I want!” exclaims Kyungsoo laughing.
“Kille me. Now.” says Sehun.
Episode LXXXII
“You listeners keep asking me how I would define myself. Let me answer with a quote from a song. Baek, please help me.”
‘I’m too hot. HOT DAMN.’
“Yeah, guys. Deal with it. I’m too hot for you! I’m joking obviously. But why don’t you ask the lucky listener who had the chance to meet me because of the evil plan schemed by my arch-enemy Byun Baekhyun? Should we call him?”
Sehun stares at his phone and hopes he just completely misunderstood what Jongdae said a moment ago.
He then sees his phone ringing and picks it up instinctively.
“pinkupinku, you there?”
“Hyung?” he asks cautiously.
“HI!” he hears Jongdae shout from the other side of the phone.
“…hi? Why are you calling me during your program?” he asks again.
“The listeners were wondering if you agree with how I described myself.”
“So basically you want me to say you’re hot, am I correct?” he asks while trying to find a way to end the call without being rude.
“Dingdingdingding! Correct!”
“Hyung…” Sehun starts panicking.
“What?”
“I gotta go. Bye.” He abruptly says and hangs up.
“pinkupinku!” Jongdae says but Sehun already hung up.
“Guys, he’s just too shy to say it on the radio. Maybe next time we’ll manage to make him speak the truth.” Jongdae says while doing a weird expression that is a mix between a pout and a smile.
Baekhyun stops in front of the window separating the studio from the hallway and raises a sign.
Jongdae squints his eyes to read the message.
‘You’re doing a creepy face. Stop.’ he eventually manages to read and replies to Baekhyun by sticking his tongue out.
“Sehun, are you okay? Are you even breathing?” Yixing asks Sehun.
“I’m not okay. I’m clearly not okay. And I don’t think I’m breathing.” replies Sehun.
“Sehun, what happened?” asks then Jongin.
“Jongdae hyung just called me.” answers Sehun.
“Ooooh. Wait. Isn’t he working now?” asks Kyungsoo, who just got there a second ago.
“He is.” replies Sehun.
“Oh.” answer Yixing, Jongin, and Kyungsoo together.
“He asked me if I think he’s hot.” continues Sehun.
“OH.” the group says again.
“Why would he do that?” Sehun asks turning his head from one side of the table to the other to look at all of his friends in the eyes.
“What did you reply?” asks Jongin.
“What?” replies Sehun.
“Sehun, what did you reply?” asks then Kyungsoo.
“I didn’t reply. I told him I had to go.” replies Sehun.
“Oh.” say Jongin, Yixing, and Kyungsoo again.
“Gosh, can you stop saying that?” burst out Sehun.
“Sorry! It’s just that I don’t get why he would call one of his listeners to make him say he’s hot. Unless he wants you to say he’s hot.” points out Jongin.
“What are you trying to imply?” asks Sehun.
“Nothing. I’m just saying.” says Jongin again.
Sehun gives up trying to understand what his friends are trying to imply and just leaves the table to go to his lesson.
Episode LIX
“Thank you so much for coming. Baekhyun told me he has something else to do and I need help for the end of the show.” says Jongdae greeting Sehun.
“Don’t worry! I was free and you know I love your job.” replies Sehun.
“I guess I’m lucky to know a person like you.” says Jongdae smiling.
“Yup, you’re lucky.” replies Sehun smugly.
“Oh, shut up!” says Jongdae laughing and punching Sehun’s shoudler.
Sehun thanked the heavens Jongdae turned around and got busy looking for his badge in his bag and wasn’t looking at him because he was sporting a very nice shade of red on his cheeks.
“I would ruffle your hair if you weren’t so tall.” states Jongdae.
“Don’t.” replies Sehun bluntly.
“I just told you I can’t reach you hair unless you bend.” says Jongdae back.
“I guess I have to thank my tall genes then, tiny hyung.” replies Sehun smiling and sizing Jongdae up.
“I don’t like you. You’re annoying.” states Jongdae pouting.
“Sure. So I can leave?” asks Sehun pretending to turn around and leave.
“No, please. Stay.” Said Jongdae looking at Sehun straight in the eyes.
Sehun swallows and eventually just nods.
“What? The cat got your tongue?” asks Jongdae smirking.
“Just shut up!” replies Sehun walking past Jongdae.
“You know you can’t go anywhere without my badge, right?” asks Jongdae smugly.
“Have I ever told you that I hate you?” replies Sehun frowning.
“You haven’t because we all know you don’t hate me.” answers Jongdae shrugging.
“What did I do to deserve this torture?” asks Sehun with a feigned annoyed tone.
“You replied to a question asked by the evil Baekhyun, pinkupinku.”says Jongdae.
“Can we just go in and forget about that question?” asks Sehun starting to walk in the direction of where the studio is.
“Sure!” replied Jongdae laughing again.
“Guys, why are you so silent today? I feel lonely! No one is sending messages. What is this? Guys, please. Talk to me!”
Jongdae turns towards Sehun and pouts. “They don’t love me!” he mouths.
Sehun just shrugs.
“Wait! I got a message. Finally! Let me see what it say and I will reply to it.” Jongdae says lowering his head to look at his phone.
“Oh. I mean. Oh. Yeah, I guess you’re kinda right, BlackPearl. But that doesn’t prevent you lovely people from sending me messages, right?”
Sehun watches Jongdae and notices he was blushing. He raises his eyebrow.
“Anyway! Today’s theme is… aquariums! You are probably wondering what the hell I’m talking about, right? But if you are a romantic guy like me, or simply a drama addict, you probably know that the most drama-like dates are at the aquarium.”
Sehun gets closer to Jongdae.
Jongdae turns around to watch him. “What are you doing?” he mouths.
Sehun raises his shoulders in reply.
Jongdae look at him for another second and turns back to the monitor.
“As I was saying, you have to take you lover to the aquarium to create the right atmosphere! The light is perfect, the fishes are cool, and sharks are scary. I repeat: sharks are scary. You know what that means? Your lover will get scared and will get close to you. Gotta take your chances. Hug them at that point!”
Sehun slows down and stops next to where Jongdae is sitting.
Jongdae looks at him and Sehun smile at him to reassure him.
As soon as Jongdae turns towards the monitor Sehun gets Jongdae’s phone.
Jongdae turn around alarmed and tries to take back his phone.
“Guys, sorry. Give me a second. Baekhyun is not here today and my annoying partner for the day decided to get his hands on something he wasn’t supposed to touch. So, please, give me a second. I just have to get the object back. I’ll be back at the end of this song, which is ‘Aspirin’ by Dickpunks.”
Jongdae throws his headphones on the table and sprints to get closer to Sehun, who in the meanwhile got closer to the other side of the room.
“Give me back my phone.” he threatens Sehun.
“Nope.” Simply replies Sehun.
“Sehun, give me back my phone.” Jongdae says assuming a menacing tone.
“I just want to read the message the listener sent to you. You usually show me the messages, but you didn’t show me that one and I got curious. Can’t I see?” asks Sehun trying to be cute.
“No, you can’t.” replies Jongdae.
“I don’t think so.” Sehun says before unlocking Jongdae’s phone.
“Don’t you dare.” Says Jongdae trying to reach for his phone.
“I’m daring.” Sehun replies raising his arms a little more.
Sehun read the message and then stares at Jongdae.
“Hyung?” he starts saying.
Jongdae doesn’t reply and looks at his feet.
“Hyung?” Sehun tries again.
“What?” Jongdae eventually replies.
“You have to go back to your listeners.”Sehun points out.
“Crap!” Jongdae says running towards his seat.
“Guys, I’m so so soooooo sorry! This took longer than I thought it would. What did you think of the song? It’s nice, isn’t it?”
Sehun stares at Jongdae for the rest of the program without saying anything and wondering why Jongdae didn’t show that specific message to him. He can still see the words of the message in his head, ‘usually pinkpinku send you you and we just love to listen to you replying to him’. Sehun thinks he understands, but he doesn’t want to over-imagine things.
“Sorry, guys but this is the end of today’s program! I know, I know. I would love for it to lasts more but we can’t. But don’t worry! I will see you tomorrow as usual at the same time. This is EXO’s most listened program, Love Me Right, and this was your favorite dj, Chen!”
Jongdae starts to tidy the things on the table he was working on.
“The last song for today is not directly connected to our topic but it is a personal favorite. Tomorrow let me know what you think about it. The song is ‘Itch’ by Nothing but Thieves! Bye, guys!” Jongdae removes his headphone and pull them off the computer.
“Can I raise the volume?” Jongdae asks Sehun.
“Sure.” Sehun replied.
Jongdae raises the volume and places himself at the center of the room, in front of one of the microphones owned by the studio.
“Hyung, what are you doing?” Sehun asks.
Jongdae doesn’t reply and smiles at Sehun.
Sehun watches Jongdae carefully and notices he’s controlling his breath.
Then Jongdae starts singing and Sehun thinks he has never seen something so beautiful in his entire life.
Sehun can’t stop looking at Jongdae, who is singing to his heart content and who closed his eyes to reach the highest notes of the song.
Then the refrain stops and Jongdae suddenly drops his voice to reach a lower octave.
Sehun gets closer to Jongdae and Jongdae smirks while singing.
“I just wanna love, I just wanna touch, I just wanna see something” sings Jongdae staring at Sehun.
Sehun gulps and steps forward.
Jongdae closes his eyes and his fists as he gets closer to the high notes of the refrain.
Jongdae starts singing again and Sehun closes the distance between them.
Jongdae doesn’t stop singing and stares openly at Sehun, who raises his hand and caresses the vein of Jongdae’s neck that became evident because of the tension it was exposed to.
Jongdae shivers but he continues singing. Then he suddenly stops and tilts his head. “I know you kept sending me messages asking for advice about your love life, but you should be able to understand that this is a good moment to kiss me.”
“You know you ruined the mood, right?” Sehun asked smiling.
“You know I just want you to kiss me, right?” replies Jongdae smiling back.
“I’m not sure I want to now, since you ruined the mood.” points out Sehun.
“Oh, shut up. C’mon here and kiss me.” says Jongdae stretching his arms towards Sehun.
“Yes, sir!” replies Sehun promptly.
Then Sehun finally leans to press his lips against Jongdae’s. He only pecks Jongdae’s lips though and Jongdae grasps Sehun’s shirt.
“If you think this is enough then, honey, you are entirely wrong.” says Jongdae raising his eyebrow.
“I never said I though that was enough. That was only the beginning.” answers Sehun quite smugly.
“Show me what you got.” challenges Jongdae.
“With pleasure.” Sehun says before pushing Jongdae towards the back of the room.
“What are you doing?” Jongdae asks with a slightly panicked undertone in his voice.
“I know your job is to talk but, for once in your life, just shut up and let me do this properly.” says Sehun continuing to push Jongdae.
“Yes, but what are yo-“ tries to ask again Jongdae,
Jongdae doesn’t finish the sentence because Sehun swiftly push him against the wall and kiss him on the lips.
“This is what I’m going to do.” explains Sehun.
“Finally.” exhales Jongdae.
“Just. Shut. Up” Sehun says separating each word with a peck on Jongdae’s lips.
Sehun picks Jongdae up to push him farther on the wall and Jongdae moans and instinctively wraps his legs around Sehun’s waist. Sehun then takes advantage of Jongdae’s moan to kiss him properly.
“I know you told me I have to shut up, but I really think we should leave the studio now. And with now I mean NOW.” says Jongdae when he manages to get his breath back.
“I don’t think you wanna meat my noisy roommate in this occasion, do you?” asks Sehun.
“Not now, at least. I have something else on my mind.” replies Jongdae.
“Same here. So… your place?” asks Sehun wiggling his eyebrows.
“I thought you would never ask.” Jongdae says before picking his things up and pushing Sehun towards the door.
“Okay, I admit I am not the sharpest when it comes to love and relationships but you’re terrible at this.” exclaims Sehun.
“What do you mean?” asks Jongdae raising his head to look at Sehun.
“Oh, you know. You’ve been rummaging in your bag looking for the key for like the past 5 minutes already.” replies Sehun.
“I’d be faster if you stopped being a huge tease for even a second.” asnwers Jongdae.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” says Sehun touching Jongdae’s nipple through the fabric of his shirt.
“Of course you don’t.” says Jongdae hissing.
“Can you open this freaking door? I am getting kinda impatient here.” states Sehun still teasing Jongdae.
“I noticed, you annoying kid.” says Jongdae.
“Should I stop then?” questions Sehun pretending to distance himself from Jongdae.
“I am gonna kick you where it hurts the most if you even dare. And we both know it would be counterproductive for the both of us. You wouldn’t be able to fuck me and I wouldn’t be able to get fucked. So keep doing what you’ve been doing and I will eventually find the keys. Hopefully.” replies Jongdae.
“I could even get bolder here, but I’m not sure if you’re into voyeurism and sex in public spaces.” says Sehun.
“Sehun.”starts saying Jongdae.
“What? Are you really into voyeurism?” asks Sehun laughing.
“No, idiot. I really can’t find the keys.” replies Jongdae sighing.
“What do you mean?” asks Sehun as he stops teasing Jongdae to properly look at him.
“I mean they’re not in the bag.” replies Jongdae closing his eyes with a pained expression on his face.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” says Sehun staring at Jongdae.
“I wish I was. No keys.” replies Jongdae laughing hysterically.
Sehun stares at Jongdae. “You’re an idiot.” He eventually says.
“In my defense I can say I couldn’t sleep that well last night and this morning I woke up late and I didn’t have time to drink coffee and oh my God I am such an idiot and what am I going to do? I need to call the blacksmith and I don’t have a place to sleep and all my friends are sleeping and tomorrow I have work and… oh gosh.” Jongdae says getting faster and faster as he starts to freak out.
“Jongdae, breath.” says Sehun trying to calm Jongdae down.
“No.”claims Jongdae.
“Breath. It’s okay. Tomorrow we’ll call the smith together and tonight you can stay in my room. My roommate is nosy but he’s not heartless. I’m sure he’ll understand.” Sehun says smiling sweetely.
“Are you sure?” Jongdae asked with a tiny voice while looking at his feet.
“Yes, I am sure.” replies Sehun nodding.
“Are you really sure?” asked Jongdae looking at Sehun from below.
“Jongdae, let’s go. I’m gonna call Jongin now and ask him if he can sleep somewhere else.” says Sehun.
“Okay.” Says Jongdae lowering his gaze once again.
“Just wait here, okay?” asks Sehun taking Jongdae hand in his hands.
Jongdae nods.
Sehun leaves Jongdae’s hand and walks down the alley to dial his friend’s number.
“Jongin, hey I have to ask you a favor.” Sehun says as soon as his friend picks up.
“Tell me and I will tell you if I can help you somehow.”
“My friend forgot his keys inside and he’s kinda freaking out. Can he sleep in our room?” he asks his roommate.
“Oh gosh. Is he okay?”
“Yeah, I think he just feels stupid for forgetting the keys.” he adds trying not to be heard by Jongdae.
Sehun turns around and sees Jongdae crouching on the floor and staring at the door like it was its fault he forgot the keys inside the house.
“No problem by the way. I’ll just crash at Yixing’s place.
“Thank you so much!” he says with emphasis.
“Let me just ask you something.”
“Go on.” prompts Sehun.
“Is he Jongdae?”
“…how did you know?” Sehun asks his friend.
“You usually laugh at people who are stupid enough to close themselves out of their own house, but now you’re all worried and caring. Must be Jongdae then.”
“Yeah. The friend I need to help is Jongdae.” He eventually replies.
“Gotcha. I’ll be out in 5 minutes.”
“Thank you, Nini. I’ll repay you somehow.” he says trying to let his friend perceive just from his voice how grateful he is.
“Don’t worry about it. Just think of taking care of your friend. If you know what I mean.”
“Oh shut up!” says Sehun closing the call.
He walks back towards Jongdae.
“Jongdae?” he calls.
Jongdae lift his head and smiles warily at Sehun.
“Should we go, hyung?” he asks smiling.
“Why do you keep shifting between Jongdae and hyung? Pick one!” claims Jongdae.
“Because I know I should call you ‘hyung’, but I love saying your name. And can we go now please before I say something embarrassing again?” he asks ruffling his hair.
“You’re cute.” replies Jongdae laughing for the first time after the key accident happened.
“Hyung, I am gonna leave you here if you don’t stop teasing me.” says Sehun embarassed.
“Okay okay. Let’s go?” Jongdae asks.
“Sure.” Sehun replies.
“How is your roommate? Will he complain about me sleeping there? Will he ask many questions?” Jongdae starts wondering.
“He won’t be there so don’t worry.” simply replies Sehun.
“Why? Will you try to jump me during the night since we didn’t get to have sex at my place?” says Jongdae wiggling his eyebrows.
“No, idiot. I won’t try to jump you randomly. It’s just that we wouldn’t fit. The room is tiny.” replies Sehun trying to forget Jongdae’s implications.
“I’m tiny too!” states Jongdae.
“But my roommate isn’t.” says Sehun shrugging.
“Gotcha. Wait… How do you fit then? You’re like too tall to be real.” asks Jongdae.
“We fit somehow. Now should we go or should we stay here wondering how I fit in a room you won’t see because we keep talking here delaying our departure?” questions Sehun.
“Annoying kid. I don’t like you. Let’s go then!” says Jongdae hopping towards the stairs.
“You don’t make any sense.” says Sehun shaking his head.
“Glad to hear that!” replies Jongdae laughing.
“I give up. Let’s go, hyung.” says Sehun taking Jongdae’s hand back into his own.
“Let’s go, Sehun.” replies Jongdae smiling at Sehun.
“Hyung, I officially present you my manor.” says Sehun as he opens his arms to show the entirety of his room.
“Wow, it is so small!” announces Jongdae.
“I know. But we couldn’t afford paying for a room outside of the dorms. You know… dance classes cost a lot.” admits Sehun.
“Wait. You take dance classes?” asks Jongdae with a clear interest in his voice and gaze.
“I thought I already told you?” answers Sehun.
“No! You didn’t!” replies Jongdae.
“Uh. So. Yeah. I dance?” says Jongdae shrugging.
“So cool. I thought I knew how to dance. I pretend to know what I’m doing but I’m just a walking disaster when it comes to dance.” admits Jongdae.
“I’m sure you just need a little practice.” says Sehun nodding.
“No, honey. There is a reason why I’m known as the ‘Dasheen Masheen’ and trust me it’s not because I know how to dance.” says Jongdae sporting a hint of red on his cheeks.
“I can kinda imagine the scene.” replies Sehun smiling.
“Don’t laugh!” menaces Jongdae.
“I’m not!” says Sehun obviously laughing.
“Sure.” replies Jongdae pouting.
“Anyhow. Should I give you one of my shorts? I would give you one of my pajamas, but I think you would get lost in them. I’m not saying that you’re short, obviously. I’m just saying you’re… tiny.” concludes Sehun laughing again.
“You bastard. I will let it go just because you’re letting me sleep here and you even had to made your poor roommate sleep somewhere else.” says Jongdae.
“My poor roommate is probably enjoying his alone time with his boyfriend, doing what we were supposed to do at your place.” replies Sehun looking at his nails.
“Not my fault I left my keys.” asnwers Jongdae increasing his pout.
“It isn’t my fault either.” says Sehun.
“But we can still do what we were supposed to do.” states Jongdae wiggling his eyebrows.
“Are you in the mood?” asks Sehun with interest.
“Let’s say I need a way to release my pent up stress.” replies Jongdae.
“Should I be flattered?” asks Sehun not liking the answer one bit.
“Wait, let me say this properly.” tries Jongdae to put it right.
“Uh.” simply says Sehun.
“I do need a way to calm down, but trust me if I tell you that having sex with you won’t calm me down. But I’d be pent up with something else if you don’t have sex with me because I really really really wanted to have sex with you.” explains Jongdae.
Sehun looks Jongdae straight in the eyes.
“You’re not cute. You’re not blushing. I though you would blush.” says Jongdae.
“Sorry, I can’t blush on command.” replies Sehun smiling.
“Sehun, I will make you blush somehow. I will try very hard.” promises Jongdae.
“I’d love to see you trying.” Sehun says.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.” replies Sehun.
“Can we cuddle first?” asks Jongdae with a cute voice.
“Yeah, sure. Why though?” questions Sehun back.
“Because I still feel very stupid and boyfriends are what you need when you need a hug.” replies Jongdae.
“Ah. Okay, sure.” says Sehun trying to hide his face from Jongdae.
“Sehun? you blushing? Oh my!” shouts Jongdae.
“No, I’m not!” replies Sehun.
“You are though! Awwww what a cutie.” says Jongdae laughing.
“Stop it! You’re only making it worse.” states Sehun.
“Why are you blushing though?” Jongdae asks Sehun.
“You kinda implied I am your boyfriend.” Sehun replies.
“Well, yes. What did you think you were?”
“A friend? A close friend? A very close friend?”
“You absolute idiot.” says Jongdae shaking his head.
“It was nice to hear you saying it. That’s it.”
“You’re still an idiot.” states Jongdae.
“Shut up.” says Sehun blushing again.
“A cute idiot.” Adds Jongdae.
“Shut up.” threatens Sehun.
“Can we cuddle now?” asks Jongdae cutely.
“Uh.” says Sehun shrugging.
Jongdae jumps on the bed and hugs the pillow.
“This should be you.” declares Jongdae hugging the pillow tighter.
“Shouldn’t you change first? You’re still wearing jeans.
“You’re right. Can you lend me those shorts then?” asks Jongdae.
“Sure. Let me get them for you.”
“Thanks!”
“No problem.”
Sehun turns around and walks towards the closet.
“Can you lend me also a shirt or something?” Jongdae asks again.
“Yup. Gimme a second.” Sehun replies.
“Take your time.”
When Sehun turns around he sees Jongdae sitting on the bed with his legs crossed.
“I feel kinda anxious.” admits Jongdae.
“What for?” asks Sehun incredulous.
“Just… don’t judge me.”
“Why should I judge you?” asks Sehun.
“Because I’m certainly not as well-built as you.” says Jongdae pouting.
“I don’t care?” replies Sehun.
“I care though.” states Jongdae.
“Just shut up.” says Sehun throwing his pants and shirt at Jongdae.
“Asshole.”
“Sure.”
“Come here.” says Jongdae with an alluring tone.
“Why?” asks Sehun.
“You’d need to come here anyway.”
“Yeah, I know. But is there a specific reason why I should go right now?”
“There is one.” says Jongdae firmly.
“Which is?” questions Sehun.
“You need to undress too.”
“In a sexual way?” asks Sehun raising his eyebrow.
“No, in a ‘don’t you have to put a pajama on?’ way.” replies Sehun rolling his eyes.
“Uh. Okay.”
“You go first.” prompts Jongdae.
“You annoying thing.” exhales Sehun.
“Shut up and get on with it.” says Jongdae making gestures with his hands to make Sehun go faster.
“This is weird.” claims Sehun.
“Shut up I told you.”
“…okay.”
Sehun get closer to the bed and takes off his shirt.
“Shit. I wasn’t prepared. Not at all. I knew you would be like this, but clearly my mind wasn’t ready.”
“Should I turn around or…” starts to ask Sehun.
“I think that would actually be worse.”
“Okay. Then take off yours so you will have to stop staring at me.”
Jongdae kneels on the bed and takes off his shirt.
“Are you kidding me?” asks Sehun with a hint of hysteria in his voice.
“What do you mean?” questions Jongdae opening his eyes widely.
“Are those abs? You have abs. And I see biceps. I see stuff I thought it wasn’t there. And you made me think it wasn’t there. Abs, Jongdae. ABS.” says Sehun.
“Are you freaking out or what?” asks Jongdae laughing.
“I’m freaking out. You’re too hot and I don’t know how to handle this. Forget being cool. How do I deal with you, Jongdae?” exhales Sehun with a pained expression on his face.
“You deal with removing the rest of your clothes, thank you very much.” replies Jongdae smiling.
“Not sure this is how it works, but whatever.”
Sehun unbuttons his jeans while staring at Jongdae, who, on his part, is staring back.
“Should I go on?” he asks.
“Please.” replies Jongdae.
“Okay.”
Sehun starts peeling off his jeans.
“Wait. Give me a second.” Jongdae stops Sehun.
“Whatever.”
Sehun keeps staring at Jongdae who is trying to divert his eyes.
“You can go on.” eventually says Jongdae.
“Okay, Jongdae.” Sehun says.
Sehun finishes peeling off his jeans and let them fall on the floor.
“Oh.” Jongdae breathes out.
“Jongdae?” asks Sehun lifting his head and crossing his arms.
“Oh.” Repeats Jongdae.
“That I knew.” says Sehun laughing.
“How do you hide that?” asks Jongdae pointing at Sehun’s crotch.
“Are you seriously pointing at my crotch?” questions Sehun incredulously.
“Yeah. And I still can’t understand how you hide that.” adds Jongdae still pointing at Sehun’s cock.
“I don’t? I mean. I just put my underwear on? I don’t even know to be honest. But please stop talking about my cock.” Sehun concludes blushing.
“Well, it is an interesting topic.” says Jongdae continuing to stare at Sehun’s lower body.
“Please.” says Sehun fully embarrassed by Jongdae’s behavior.
“Gotcha. I will keep going then.” declares Jongdae finally diverting his eyes.
“Sure.”
Jongdae turns around and faces the wall.
“Why are you facing the wall now?” asks Sehun.
“Because I can’t undress if you look at me.” explains Jongdae.
“This was your idea.” Points out Sehun.
“I know. But still. I can’t undress if someone is looking at me, unless that person is undressing me himself.”
“Interesting.” says Sehun picturing future scenarios in his head.
“I will undress now.” announces Jongdae.
“Okay. Just… how are you planning to remove your jeans while kneeling on the bed? Not that you should change position. This position is very nice to look at. Just… are you that athletic?” asks Sehun.
“You may be right. Wait.” says Jongdae before getting off the bed. “Okay, now.”
Jongdae turns around to face the wall again and unbuttons the jeans.
“Still there?” he asks Sehun.
“Definitely.” replies Sehun staring at Jongdae.
Jongdae unzips his jeans and looks over his shoulder.
“Breath, Sehun.” he says.
“Oh, shut up!” replies Sehun blushing.
Jongdae removes his jeans.
“Fuck me.” exhales Sehun staring at Jongdae’s ass.
“I was thinking you would top, but if that is how you usually do it then I will top.” replies Jongdae wiggling his eyebrow.
“Forget it. Let me fuck you. Now.” Says Sehun shortening the distance separating himself from Jongdae, who is know leaning on his elbows.
“Gladly.” he says stretching his arms out.
Sehun closes the distance between them and finally kisses Jongdae.
Episode CXIV
“Goodmorning, guys! How are you doing? If you were wondering, I’m doing great! I actually have to confess something. You know how Baekhyun tried many times to find me a date with terrible results? Well, looks like this time he was indeed able to hook me up with someone. I know, I know. But I can’t give all the merits to Baekhyun. Let’s say that without the persistence of my boyfriend, who tried to win me over and over again, the first date organized by Baekhyun wouldn’t have ended in us together. And you probably already guessed, but let me say this once for all. Yes, pinkupinku is indeed my boyfriend. So now you know. Gosh, this was hard. But I had to tell you guys. I felt it wasn’t right to hid this news from you, since it is something I’m incredibly happy about and since this is, after all, a program about relationships and love problems. That said, let me now start with today’s topic, which is how to keep a lover once you find one.”
