wonbin: sure abt what?

shotaro: sohee

wonbin: ...
OHH

HES THE ONE INITIATING IT

shotaro: then tell him to stop?
it's giving me a bad visceral reaction and it's been bugging me all day

wonbin: you never got over it?

shotaro: no i never fucking got over it
you're calling him your husband ofc it pisses me off
if you care about it so much just kiss his forehead instead and confess whatever

wonbin: woah woah taro calm down
if he takes it too far i promise i'll stop it
but it's just harmless jokes. i'm sure it won't get any further than that

shotaro: it still makes me mad

ugh

wonbin: i'm sorry taro :(
okay yknow what i'll tell sohee to stop

shotaro: wait if you don't want to then you don't have to—
it just annoys me i don't want you to have to do this just bc of me

wonbin taro shut your mouth
you care too much about other people that it's gotten a bit out of hand

sungchan: oh definitely not

shotaro: cool

sungchan: anytime

shotaro: JUNG SUNGCHAN—



shotaro was running to the carpool lane, until he came to a halt when he felt someone slip their hand into his. he looked back, and saw wonbin, smiling as beautifully as ever. "hey."

"hey." the younger boy tugged shotaro's hand. "my brother is gonna pick us up instead, mkay?"

the blonde boy nodded, following wonbin's lead with loving eyes on him.

surprisingly, wonbin changed direction once he saw someone around the corner. shotaro stuttered confusedly. "wha-who—who was that? why are we going another way?"

"nothing, jisung just said it'd be easier for us to go this way." lies. shotaro bit his lip, still leaning over and trying to figure out who that was.

until sohee suddenly turned the corner.

"sohee?" shotaro shouted out, causing wonbin to snap his head back at the shorter brunette with a half-smile stuck on his face.

"hey taro!" sohee grinned, turning to wonbin with a smirk. "hey husband." shotaro felt his heart stop.

wonbin dug his fingers through his hair in distress. "taro, lets just find jisung." he pulled the boy's unmoving body and raced away from sohee with a frown. they stopped at a toyota prius that jisung's booming voice arose from.

"hey lovebirds! get in the back!"

the younger boy opened the door for shotaro, who dejectedly sat in his seat, wonbin getting in after him. wonbin was aware of shotaro's disappointment, yet shockingly didn't say anything the entire ride, chatting with jisung for awhile before gazing out the window.

"we're here." jisung did an impressive parallel parking job outside the park family's house, considering how stupid wonbin described him to be. "now, i need to talk about something serious to you two boys."

"oh, here we go—"

"zip it, bin." the oldest of the three spat. "now y'all are seventeen and sixteen. i expect you both to use proper protection and this to be a consensual relationship. you two hear me?"

"i'm asexual, jisung. we won't be needing any of that...for a while." wonbin clarified, leaving the older boy's jaw on the floor.

"ohh, that actually explains so much." the older of the park's opened his car door. "then i have nothing more to tell you. have fun being gay."

wonbin hummed. "yeah thanks a lot. lets go, taro—" his outstretched arm was caught by jisung.

"hold up! i need to talk to shotaro, alone. i'll send him into the house after. shoo, bin." jisung swatted the boy like a fly. wonbin scoffed, patting shotaro on the back and backing out of the car, closing the door behind him.

jisung turned to shotaro with an anticipated smile. "so i have some news to share from mark." the japanese boy's mood lifted up at the mention of the canadian's name. "you've been training for awhile, and we figured that you're basically more than ready."

shotaro nodded, though perplexed. jisung took a deep breath. i'm m

"no beating around the bush. you're debuting."
