Songwriting woes (part 2) (1/1)

Sunggyu yawned as he leaned his head on the table. He had been sitting in front of a blank piece of paper for half an hour and still nothing.He watched from the corner of his eye as Woohyun absently tidied up the studio space, folding Sunggyu’s jacket and placing it on the couch and readjusting the throw pillow on the small sofa.He thought about Woohyun’s suggestions earlier—about making the concept of the song more abstract.“Hey, you know how you said about the guy wanting more control in the relationship?”Woohyun turned from his busy work and hopped on the table again.“Yeah?”“Well I don’t know…I just thought of something.” Sunggyu pursed his lips, scratching the back of his head. “How about this? Control…well there’s a lot of different ways to have it…” He looked up at Woohyun, before clearing his throat. “I mean, maybe he just needs it for one part of their relationship. L-Like…physically?” He averted his eyes. “The guy…maybe everything else in his life, like everyone else is always telling him what to do, where to be, judging him, and they have all these expectations of him and maybe that’s his only release. Being with the person he loves in that way…that’s his outlet, his freedom—the only thing he feels he can control.”He didn’t dare meet Woohyun’s eyes. He, himself couldn’t believe he had just proposed making the song about physical dominance and basically BDSM. And in some way he hoped Woohyun wouldn’t see through and realize—.“You feel like that, don’t you?”Woohyun knew him too well sometimes.Sunggyu sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. “I just…” He bit his lip. “Aish this is a really weird topic for a song—.”“You want to know about why I like…you know handcuffs and stuff?” Woohyun wrapped his arms around his chest awkwardly. Sunggyu stared up at him in surprise.“Huh?”“It’s not like I lost my virginity in handcuffs.” Woohyun sighed.“Well I don’t know!” Sunggyu shrugged defensively. “Its not like I spend my days thinking about how you lost your virginity.”“You don’t?” Woohyun pouted.“What?” Sunggyu snorted. “Don’t tell me you do think about how I—?”“O-Of course not!” Woohyun cut him off. “You think I have that kind of time? I’m a very busy man—.”“You totally imagine how and when I lost my virginity, don’t you?” Sunggyu chuckled.Woohyun smiled sheepishly. “Well…I just wonder who that girl was. She was the luckiest person ever.”“Trust me.” Sunggyu sighed. “She was not lucky.”“Ooh what’s this?” Woohyun chuckled excitedly. “Kim Sunggyu wasn’t always perfect at sex~?”“Yah,” Sunggyu grinned, nudging the other man lightly. “I’m not perfect at it. That doesn’t even make sense. How can someone even—?”“Yes you are!” Woohyun stated, rather seriously. “And I should know. I’ve done it with a lot of people, you know?”Sunggyu rolled his eyes. “Do you have to keep mentioning that? I mean what do you want, me to congratulate you or something? I’m surprised I haven’t gotten a disease from you or something….”“A disease?” Woohyun pouted and slapped Sunggyu’s arm. “You’re a jerk.”“You love me.” Sunggyu simply replied.Woohyun heaved a sigh, steering the conversation back to its roots. “Anyways, the whole point is…for me the handcuffs and that stuff, well its like this,” Woohyun pursed his lips, awkwardly studying the carpet. “I…I get stuck in my head a lot. I mean you probably already know it, like that I think too much sometimes…and at times like those, I get into this sort of endless cycle—one thought leads to another, and another and it just drags me down lower. So sometimes, I just sort of need someone to yank me out of it, like someone firm to just hold me down when I feel like I’m being blown away by everything.” Woohyun hesitantly met Sunggyu’s eyes and smiled slightly. “You do that for me hyung…in those moments, all I have to think about is you and us and…and well it’s almost freeing in a way.” Then he chuckled. “Isn’t that ironic? When I’m tied up, I feel the most free.”Sunggyu patted his knee, gazing into Woohyun’s eyes. “I didn’t know…it was like that for you.” Then he shook his head in amazement. “Wah I must really be something if I can do all that for you without even realizing it.”Woohyun laughed and shoved Sunggyu lightly. “Shut up and write your song.”++++An hour later Sunggyu managed to finish his song, but…“Why’re we in here?” Sunggyu groaned as Woohyun dragged him into the bathroom and pulled him into one of the stalls, before clicking the lock shut.“Now that you’re done with work, let’s have some fun~” Woohyun grinned, pulling Sunggyu towards him.“Yah,” Sunggyu covered Woohyun’s lips with his hand before they could reach his mouth. “Why here? Lets go home and—.”“Gyu…” Woohyun whined. “I waited so long for you to finish, don’t you think I deserve a reward? Besides its late and you said everyone else already went home—.”“Reward?” Sunggyu snorted. “Yeah right. No one asked you to wait for me.” But then Woohyun had this look of utter disappointment and it made Sunggyu feel bad. “Can’t you wait until we get home?” He sighed, resting a hand on Woohyun’s head. “Besides, there’s some things I want to talk about—.”“Kiss now, talk later!” Woohyun pulled on Sunggyu’s arm, pressing his lips to Sunggyu’s. But Sunggyu shoved him away with a frown.“Yah! Can’t you just listen to me for a second? I have something to talk to you about! Its important!”Woohyun made this whiny sound and pouted. “But hyung…we can talk later—.”“Later when?” Sunggyu snorted. “Its seems like the rare times we do get to see each other all we do is fuck. I mean it’s not like we’re sex friends or something!”“If this is about last time, then that was your fault.” Woohyun replied nonchalantly. “You’re the one who wanted to—.”“T-That was because you…!” Sunggyu groaned in frustration and averted his eyes. “Y-You know what you did!”Woohyun raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Me? What’d I do?”“Aish forget it!” Sunggyu huffed, ignoring his reddening cheeks. “The point is…I have something important to talk to you about, so can we go back to my place?”Woohyun shrugged. “Sure. As long as you can keep it in your pants—.”He instantly regretted his remark when Sunggyu slapped him upside the head.++++As soon as they stepped out of the studio, the fans who were waiting outside (thankfully there weren’t many since it was late on a weeknight) approached them.They made up some story on how Woohyun was visiting him and they were going to go have a drink together like the good friends they were. The fans seemed to buy it and proceeded to gush about how sweet Sunggyu and Woohyun’s friendship was that Woohyun would come visit him while he was working and how nice Sunggyu was for giving Woohyun a ride home, etc.After both Woohyun and Sunggyu told the fans to go home safely since it was late, they got into Sunggyu’s car and drove off.“Your manager didn’t even wait for you?” Woohyun asked as Sunggyu steered the car out of the parking lot.“Nah, you know I like to drive myself. I told him not to come anyways, since he has a daughter now…I thought he should be home with his family this late at night.” Sunggyu explained.“Aigoo, my Gyu bear is so thoughtful.” Woohyun cooed.“Shut up.” Sunggyu smiled.Woohyun chuckled. “So what’s the important thing you wanted to talk about?”“Well,” Sunggyu furrowed his brows as he stopped at a red light. “Remember about the going on a trip thing, I was talking about before? I mean I never did get your opinion on it….”“…I mean of course I’d want to. A honeymoon with you where we could actually maybe do real dating things, like go to restaurants, and hold hands. Sounds like the best thing ever, but….” Woohyun sighed. “When would we able to do that? I mean what’re the chances that we both get at least a two week’s vacation at the exact same time?”++++Sunggyu sat in bed that night, thinking about what Woohyun said. And the more he thought about it, the more he realized Woohyun was right. It would be impossible for them to get enough time off at the exact same time to go on a vacation together.He sighed softly, glancing at the sleeping Woohyun beside him.Would this be all they could do? Friends to the public, but only being able to touch each other behind closed doors…He scooted under the covers snuggling closer to Woohyun’s still body, slinging his arm over the younger man’s waist. He rested his head on Woohyun’s chest and the sound of Woohyun’s steady breathing lulled him to sleep.++++“Hyung…”Sunggyu groaned sleepily, pulling the quilt over his head.“Hyung~” Woohyun yanked the blanket off again, getting right up in Sunggyu’s face. “Wake up! Something happened—.”Sunggyu suddenly looped his arm around Woohyun’s neck, pressing Woohyun’s face to his chest.“Shh…” Sunggyu patted his head, eyes still closed. “Sleep…”Woohyun pulled away slightly with a chuckle.“I think you’re gonna want to hear this though.”Sunggyu’s eyes blinked open slowly. Before he could ask, his phone started ringing on the nightstand. He sighed and sat up, running a hand through his hair as he grabbed for the noisy device.“Hello?”Woohyun was beaming brightly, as if he already knew what the phone call was about.“Sunggyu-yah, so remember that show you did? Babysitting with the Stars?” His manager chimed in on the other line.“…Yes?”“Well the director contacted us about a sequel project…something called, honeymooning with the stars.”Sunggyu instantly became more awake at his manager’s words. He pressed his phone to his ear, eyes widening.“Wait, what?”“And since the first one was so successful, you know for your reputation and all, the CEO agreed to it. You’ll start filming next week.”“S-Seriously?” Sunggyu’s mouth hung open as he looked to Woohyun who was nodding and grinning, excitably.“Oh and Sunggyu,”“Yeah hyung?”“Its going to be in Paris.”After hanging up Sunggyu stared at Woohyun with wide eyes and he laughed incredulously.“This….w-we’re going to Paris?”“I know!” Woohyun nodded happily.“We…you and I…we’re going together—?”Woohyun tackled Sunggyu, interrupting his ramblings.“Hyung,” He chuckled breathlessly, before kissing Sunggyu. “We’re getting our honeymoon.”----------Y’all know it ain’t gonna be that easy. Also my new year's resolution is to cockblock less, so since this chapter was short, expect a lengthy smut scene for the next chapter~ :D
