after chan spent a few hours talking with jihoon, he couldn't help but feel bad for him. he works so hard and he reminds chan of himself. they're both perfectionists when it comes to something they really love doing, but that isn't always a good thing.

jihoon didn't even have time to eat! so chan was on a mission: get jihoon some food.

there was a nice restaurant near his dorm, and luckily, it was cheap too. sadly, chan was on a low budget so he had to spend his money carefully, even if he wanted to get a lot of food for jihoon.

chan was an indecisive person, so he ended up getting a variety of food. there was beef stew, japchae, bulgogi, with sides as well, like rice and kimchi. chan already knew jihoon really enjoyed rice, so he was even anticipating the older man's reaction.

as chan walked through the dark, he remembered the first time he went to jihoon's studio. it was slightly cramped, but it was for sure comfortable. which is why jihoon didn't really like it when others would be in there with him. it's not like he doesn't enjoy their company, but jihoon is definitely an independent person, so that's just his preference.

jihoon works in a small company where he releases his solo mixtapes or albums once a year. chan has listened to a few of his songs, and he didn't know jihoon was that talented. he was also impressed to find out that jihoon wrote and composes all of his songs. he really took independent to a whole other level.

as chan got lost in his thoughts, he noticed that he finally arrived at the building.

it was modern, smaller than most company buildings, which isn't surprise considering they only have one group and one soloist, jihoon.

he nodded at the security men in greeting, bowing down and showing them his driver's license. chan has already been there once, so he was sure they already knew him. he told them that he brought food for jihoon and the security man pointed in the direction of jihoon's studio.

"what are you doing here?" is the first thing jihoon asked once he opened the door for chan.

chan flashed him a grin, "i bought you food!" jihoon didn't say anything, he was blinking at the bags in chan's hands. "i didn't know what you liked, except for rice of course, so i just decided to get a variety of things. there's beef stew in this one-which you should eat now before it gets cold. you could have that with the japchae, since it's cold! oh and there's lots of kimchi in..."

chan trailed off, realizing he was ranting. but when he looked up to see jihoon, he wasn't expecting the older man to hug him.

jihoon circled his arm around chan's waist and pulled him with a strong tug. chan yelped, careful not to spill anything. he was able to reach behind, using his height to his advantage, and place the bags on the table. chan finally hugged jihoon back, not really knowing why they were, but he didn't mind.

for a small person, he's extremely strong.

when jihoon pulled back, he looked embarrassed, as if he did that consciously. "um. i've been having a pretty rough day so doing something as simple as this... it kind of touched me?"

chan shook his head, giggling. "i'm glad, i was a bit worried you wouldn't like the food i got. i can't let my talented hyung starve!"

jihoon stared up at chan, and he badly wanted to know what was going through his head at that moment, because it seemed like the air around them changed to tense in a split second.

"well," jihoon looked back at the food, "i can't eat all of this myself."

chan was baffled, "oh. it's okay, hyung. i know you don't really like having people in your studio."

"you're right. but the only person i'll make an exception for, is you." jihoon grinned, "come in. i wanted to play some music for someone."

being with jihoon was amazing. he forgot all his worries with him. he focused on his beautiful voice, the low him of the guitar, the frequent tapping of his feet to the beat. chan was mesmerized.
