"Will you date" Questions
Half Past Eleven [MINOR REVISIONS]I just realized that this one and the previous chap were written a year ago in my iPod, and that most of my WIP fics are in Junhwe's POV lmao... Anyway, please enjoy this slice-of-life thing.
"If all the members are girls and you're the only male, who will you date?"
The remaining iKON members looked up from their phones to stare at Bobby as if he grew another limb. The rapper blinked at them and gave out a playful grin before sliding off from the couch to sit with the members on the living room floor.
"What? It's just for fun. As if we don't have female crushes already."
"And how do we know we're not gonna lie answering?" Hanbin retorted. Yunhyung nodded.
"Yeah, that question is too ambiguous. I could say I'd date all of you just for the heck of it."
Junhwe rolled his eyes. "Are we really talking about this? We're not even complete."
Their power vocal's comment caused the group to be silent. It is true. Donghyuk, Chanwoo, and Jinhwan are currently out buying snacks since they ran out of them. Bobby only shrugged.
"That's not even an issue. You want a more specific game? Fine."
Not waiting for his friends' comments, Bobby went back to his room, grabbed his notepad from his bed and started scribbling the names of each iKON member. He tore the pieces, folded them individually, then placed them in an empty shoebox.
"Alright." He playfully skipped back to the living room, the shoebox in his hands. "Each one of us will pick a member name here and will answer a yes or a no. When Donggu, Chanu, and Jinani-hyung return, we'll also let them pick then reveal our results after."
"Sounds good." Yunhyeong answered. Junhwe still wasn't keen to the game but decided to just go along with it.
Grinning more, Bobby started the game by picking first. Not thinking of anything, he took a random piece of paper and opened it without hesitation. Upon reading the name, he laughed.
"Why are you laughing like that?" Hanbin asked with raised brows. Bobby laughed more.
"Because I picked Jinani-hyung. Of all people." Hanbin snickered.
"Aish, just answer your own question already."
"Ok. My answer is..." Bobby pretended to think. "Yes."
No one seemed surprised, even Hanbin. Junhwe shrugged.
"That's so boring since the answer's obvious."
"Oh really? Then you go next and see if you can react like that." Bobby taunted. Junhwe wasn't fazed.
"No thanks. I'll go for the last."
"Geez, you're such a diva." Yunhyung commented then reached for the box. "I'll just get this over with."
Like Bobby, Yunhyung didn't think much in picking. He unfolded the paper and snickered when he saw the name.
"Bobby."
Said rapper laughed while the others teased Yunhyung. Yunhyung smiled helplessly.
"Hmm...depends if Bobby will treat me well."
"What? Of course I will! Who wouldn't?!" Bobby answered as if he's offended. Yunhyung laughed.
"Ok, ok. Then my answer is yes."
Hanbin teased Bobby then took his turn. He pretended looking over the remaining papers.
"Who will be the lucky one to be picked by charisma leader Hanbin?"
"Aigoo, just get on with it already." Junhwe responded.
Hanbin picked quickly then acted giddy like a school girl as he opened the folded paper. As soon as he read the name, he face palmed and awkwardly laughed. The others looked at him, surprised.
"Woah, why is our charisma leader acting like this?"
Bobby took the paper from Hanbin's hand and read the name. He burst out laughing.
"Daebak! It's Chanwoo!!"
Immediately, Yunhyung and even Junhwe laughed like idiots. It's because they already knew the answer without B.I voicing it out. But a game's a game so B.I has no choice but to say it.
"No offense to Chanu-ya, but my answer is no." Hanbin shook his head still with the awkward smile. "I mean c'mon! He's our laundry-duty maknae right now! He'll be more like a female dongsaeng or a sister."
Yunhyung teasingly nodded. "Yeah yeah, we understand leader. You never stop acting spoiled with him though."
Bobby cracked up again. "I bet he had too much fun with the maknae hidden camera, he's purposely doing it again. Aigoo, poor Chanwoonie."
Hanbin pretended to glare at them."Aish!! Enough of me. Goo Junhwe it’s your turn!"
Junhwe snickered at their leader then picked a paper without care. Not expecting anything, he opened the folds and stared at the name there.
It's Donghyuk.
Junhwe groaned loudly and mumbled something along the lines of "why is this happening to me" and "of all people". Seeing the reaction of their vocal, the three others glanced at each other with smirks. Hanbin nudged Junhwe.
"It's Hyukkie isn't it?"
Junhwe sighed then nodded.
Immediately, Bobby, B.I and Yunhyung squealed like girls as if it’s the most amusing thing in the world. Truthfully, it is. It's not so much as the banter-relationship those two have, but it’s the fact that they don't really know how Junhwe (and Donghyuk) will respond to a question like Bobby asked. It's a mysterious yet interesting sort of thing.
"No lying allowed Junhwe." Bobby quickly remarked with a grin. "Hanbin even sister-zoned Chanu so you better fess up the truth."
Junhwe groaned again. A few years ago, he would have been sure of an answer because honestly, Donghyuk irked him often. But now...
Glaring at his hyungs, Junhwe finally answered.
"Yes."
"AYYYYIIIIIEEE!!"
The ridiculous reactions of the other three caused the poor vocal to blush and throw pillows at them. The trio only laughed more.
"Yah!! You can't blame us for reacting like this!! The fans don’t know but for us, you two have the most interesting dynamic here." Hanbin reasoned. Yunhyung pointed at him for emphasis.
"That's true! Aigoo, it’s like watching those awkward love-hate couples in dramas."
Bobby chuckled more. "They're like the ones who tease each other mercilessly but actually cared more underneath!"
The three laughed more while Junhwe rolled his eyes and groaned some more.
"Seriously you creeps are overexaggerating this-
"WE'RE BACK!"
The front door suddenly opened with Donghyuk's voice interrupting them. They all immediately shut up as the grocery team went in with plastic bags on their hands. Donghyuk and Chanwoo went straight to the kitchen while Jinhwan went to the living room to check on the others. He blinked at the weird atmosphere there.
"What are you guys doing?"
Bobby snickered. "We're playing a simple question and answer game. We're actually waiting for you guys to finish this."
"Oh really? What kind of game?" Jinhwan asked as he went to the kitchen to tell Donghyuk and Chanwoo.
"Just leave those groceries for now and go here!" Bobby shouted.
After placing the bags on the table, the three new comers sat on the living room. Bobby tried his best not to laugh at their confused expressions because Hanbin and Yunhyung kept exchanging smirks. Junhwe regressed to acting like he didn't care again.
"Ok, here's the thing. I wrote all our names here. You have to pick one, and tell us with a yes or no if you'll date the person written on the paper if he's a girl."
"Ehh?" Jinhwan made a weirded out face. "What's wrong with you guys? Did you eat too much chocolate again?"
"It's ok Jinhwan-hyung. We four did it already anyway. No harm done." Hanbin assured with a thumbs-up. Junhwe resisted the urge to throw a pillow at their leader.
The mat-hyung glanced at their maknaes as if asking their opinions. Donghyuk shrugged.
"We had worse games anyway." Chanwoo looked like he'd rather not but didn't want to spoil his hyung's fun. Jinhwan sighed then reached for the shoebox.
"Alright. Sometimes I wonder why I keep up with you guys."
There's only three remaining papers in the shoebox so Jinhwan didn't have much of a choice. He opened the paper he picked.
"Hanbin." He stated without much of a reaction. Most of them snickered.
Jinhwan pretended as if it’s a hard decision, then he winked at Hanbin and gave a small heart with his fingers.
"Sure why not."
"Aigoo, that's so smooth hyung!!" Bobby cackled along the rest. In response, Hanbin smiled and made a heart over his head.
Donghyuk wanted to go next but since Chanwoo is their new maknae, he didn't want to leave him without a choice. He gently nudged Chanwoo and their new member thanked him with a smile and a nod before reaching for the box. He picked the first paper he saw and nervously opened it.
"It's Yunhyung-hyung."
Suddenly, BI and Bobby cracked up. Not because of Chanwoo's pick, but because of the last paper in there and who's going to have to pick that. Knowing what his hyungs are thinking, Junhwe rolled his eyes and mumbled something under his breath. With the way Bobby cracked up more, it’s probably a curse.
Poor Chanwoo looked confused with his hyungs’ reactions so Yunhyung slapped their new maknae's back playfully.
"YAH, you better answer correctly. You should know the answer to that."
Chanwoo smiled then nodded. "Yes, if hyung thinks I'm good."
"That's right! Plus points for knowing the right answer!"
Donghyuk shook his head then reached for the last paper on the box. The temptation to pull out his own hair is strong with Junhwe.
The atmosphere was heavier when Donghyuk took the paper. Time seemed to slow down as the others waited for him to open it. He let out a half-smile and a half-wince when he read the name.
"It's Junhwe."
The hyungs except Jinhwan started howling again. Even then, Jinhwan was laughing like it’s a funny joke and Chanwoo was letting out his biggest smile. Junhwe groaned, his patience almost running out. He scowled at Donghyuk.
"Sheesh, just answer the question already! I want to eat now."
Even with the obviously irritated reaction of their main vocal, the hyungs continued to cackle, teasing both him and Donghyuk. Donghyuk seemed quite irritated too.
But then, he dropped his small smile and looked straight at Junhwe with unwavering eyes and with no hints of amusement whatsoever. Seeing that caused the others to suddenly stop laughing and Junhwe himself to feel tensed. Did they piss him off?
Then Donghyuk let out a playful smirk.
"Yeah, I guess."
There was a three-second pause before the others started guffawing all over again. Donghyuk laughed then scolded them for being so invested in a silly game. Tapping Chanwoo's shoulder, he pulled their new maknae towards the kitchen to finish organizing their groceries. Jinhwan asked his other dongsaengs what their answers were – to which Bobby excitedly told him, with Hanbin and Yunhyung snickering at the background.
Meanwhile, Junhwe remained seated on his spot, still taken aback. It's not because Donghyuk answered yes, but because the expression he used was the one when he's totally serious, mixed with the mild cockiness he exudes when they're performing hard bops on stage. It's like he's totally sure and confident of his answer but at the same time, he can just be playing around.
Junhwe hated that look. He always felt this invisible force pulling him towards Donghyuk whenever he sees him like that. It’s almost as bad as when Donghyuk smiles that smile that can shut anyone up (including Junhwe even if he won’t admit it).
Junhwe cursed and forced the warmth of his cheeks to die down. This is why Donghyuk irritated him the most.
