A coldly glaring gaze. The forearm rubbing his mouth was tense. As if he was nervous or something. Just when he thought the fierce tone seemed somewhat broken, the clearly defined abs caught his eye.
The fully exposed upper body blatantly showed his roughened breathing and the tight clenching of his firm abs. When Do Yeonjae lifted his head slightly, this time the chest muscles twitched. For some reason, he seemed extremely sensitive to his gaze.
And just as his eyes were unconsciously about to travel downward….
“Hey.”
He shouted loudly.
“Hurry up and go out and eat the damn pizza.”
“Even so, eating without the owner is a bit.”
He’d already eaten lunch too… But Kwon Isoo got angry at a strange point.
“Fuck, cut the crap. Who’s your owner?”
No, I meant the homeowner…. Since his condition seemed really off, Do Yeonjae decided to go out for now.
“…….”
After closing the door, his steps returning to the sofa slowed slightly for a moment.
The color of Kwon Isoo’s earlobes that he’d glimpsed just now seemed a bit strange. They were so red as if about to burst…….
Did I see wrong?
Anyway, he’ll get dressed and come out soon.
He waited quietly while thinking about various things. The content of the survival variety show he’d glimpsed earlier, the plot of the drama Kang Ihyun hyung would be in, the challenge Sian hyung recently posted, the song Hayun hyung had asked for help covering saying he wanted to… and Kwon Isoo’s large, solid body.
Damn it.
No, if you think about it, don’t guys shower together a lot? It was even more so during rookie idol days when there was no time and the dorms were cramped. Do Yeonjae had showered with all RAYEON members except Hayun hyung.
But… because Kwon Isoo was so flustered, it made him feel strange too.
Do Yeonjae scratched his eyebrow with an awkward face. For some reason, he felt like the inside of the house was a bit stuffy.
Kwon Isoo came back out exactly 15 minutes after witnessing his nakedness.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“…….”
Do Yeonjae, who had been getting tired of waiting, gladly turned his head then paused.
An expensive jacket and watch. He was all dressed up as if he had some important meeting. It seemed to be one of the clothes that had been on the bed. He’d even touched his hair a bit in the meantime. The style with his forehead half-revealed made the atmosphere even more sophisticated.
“Are you going somewhere?”
Kwon Isoo frowned for a moment then shook his head. Is he the type to manage himself thoroughly even at home? There was a hyung like that in RAYEON too, so it wasn’t completely incomprehensible. Do all pretty people do that…
Do Yeonjae, who understood without difficulty, got up. Since it was someone else’s house, it felt weird to just sit alone.
“Let’s move the dishes and cups together.”
He spoke while looking toward Kwon Isoo. He was so tall that even after turning his head to the side, he had to lift it up again.
He’d guessed from the extraordinary proportions since they first met in childhood, but Kwon Isoo’s physique, which had grown overwhelmingly as the years passed, made even Do Yeonjae, RAYEON’s tallest member, tilt his head back sharply.
Though listed as 188cm on portal sites, that was probably a number the company intentionally reduced.
His large build stood out even among sturdy men, and despite having a pretty face, his features were bold, giving him a distinctly masculine feeling. He could digest any concept well—truly the perfect idol material.
Right, idol material… that’s correct.
But is that place talented too?
He tried not to think about it, but purely biological curiosity kept arising. So, before arousal, was that size really possible?
Fortunately, Kwon Isoo’s cold tone cut off the unwholesome thoughts.
“Don’t make a fuss and sit down.”
He forcibly sat him down on the sofa then roughly brought the dishes and cups. While doing so, he forced him to quickly eat the pizza he hated. He must want to quickly feed him something shitty.
But could he have an appetite after seeing someone’s nakedness? Do Yeonjae’s gaze looking at the cold pizza was already cold. As he just stared at the fancy toppings, soon Kwon Isoo grumbled incomprehensibly. “Fuck, you’re so high-maintenance….” Then he grabbed something from the bag that contained the pizza box and threw it.
He caught it without difficulty and checked what was in his hand.
“…….”
It’s hot sauce?
How did he know I eat it with this on? Looking down at the hot sauce with a puzzled face then raising his gaze, Kwon Isoo’s displeased face was right in front of him.
“Should I shove it directly into your mouth?”
“Ah, I’m eating it.”
That bad habit of his hasn’t improved at all. His face is pretty but why is his temper so filthy…. He shook his head and picked up the pizza.
He didn’t bother to say he’d already eaten lunch. Still, there was sincerity in ordering it for him. Although Kwon Isoo seemed to have deliberately ordered pizza he hated most to spite him, it was lucky that the pizza happened to be Do Yeonjae’s favorite food.
More than anything, if he did what the homeowner told him to, he’d cooperate well, right? Especially after committing unexpected rudeness.
“Kwon Isoo, I have something I want to ask.”
He said leisurely while filling both cups with cola and sprinkling hot sauce on the pizza. What he was most curious about right now was what on earth he was thinking when he accepted the program offer.
But the response that came back wasn’t satisfactory.
“Eat first, then talk.”
“Mm.”
Why does he want me to eat pizza so badly…. Thinking he should eat at least one slice first, he put the pizza in his mouth.
He hadn’t really wanted it, but once he started eating, it was delicious. Definitely with the hot sauce too. Do Yeonjae momentarily forgot the awkward atmosphere and started eating the pizza heartily. Kwon Isoo lightly ignored the suggestion to try some too and watched Do Yeonjae eating two slices of pizza stacked together like observing a fascinating creature.
The expression looking intently with his chin propped up was dry. Why is he staring like that… I don’t know what he’s thinking. Is he feeling satisfaction from feeding me pizza that tastes like shit to him?
But Kwon Isoo suddenly asked.
“Which NEOS stages did you watch?”
Kek. Do Yeonjae coughed while eating pizza. Fortunately, he didn’t choke badly. As he pounded his chest and gulped down cola, unable to wait even that moment, he brought his face right up close.
“You said you’re a fan. So did you watch?”
“……Suddenly?”
“Suddenly, fuck. Tell me by date. What you watched.”
Seeing him arrogantly tilt his chin up left him speechless. How can I memorize all the video dates? Besides… he couldn’t say he watched every stage as soon as it was uploaded. He’d never say that even if he died.
Do Yeonjae answered vaguely.
“Just the music video and… a few that came up when I searched.”
“So what are those few? If you don’t know the date, at least roughly describe the outfits.”
At the obsessive gaze, Do Yeonjae reluctantly recalled a few NEOS stages he’d watched. The day he wore a black suit with a belt… the day he wore racing outfits… and the day he wore a denim jacket with sky blue and white mixed like stains was his favorite stage because it matched well with Kwon Isoo’s blonde hair. The makeup was perfect too.
But it felt somehow embarrassing to mention his favorite stage in front of the person himself.
“That, what is it, the day you wore silver pants.”
In the end, he just chose anything that came to mind. Then Kwon Isoo’s expression immediately turned fierce. And for good reason—although it might have looked okay to Do Yeonjae’s eyes… that stage was the day NEOS’s fandom went crazy with trucks and hashtag total attacks demanding they change the coordinator immediately.
With the poorly fitted bizarre outfits and inconsistent color matching, it even circulated through communities with the title ‘Major Idol Styling That’s a Total Disaster.’

Ah, is this a fish market? Throw away those Jagalchi pants ㅡㅡ
ET @djfnvv
Hello~ This is Kwon Isoo~
I’ll fire the coordinator right now~
In fact, Kwon Isoo could ignore it even if fans sent hundreds of trucks, but more than that, it pissed him off that he wore such shitty clothes. To think Do Yeonjae watched a stage that remained as an unpleasant memory.
Out of all the perfectly fine ones.
“Of all things to watch, you watched that kind of crap.”
Moreover, Do Yeonjae didn’t even have the basics down. Seeing how he hesitated and finally barely mentioned it, he seemed to have watched exactly one stage, and now they’re even appearing on a program together and that’s all he watched?
Meanwhile, fuck, for weeks now only Do Yeonjae has been popping up in his recommended videos.
After all that, why did he say things like let’s get our stories straight? The more he thought about it, the more pissed he got. He wanted to immediately shove well-taken NEOS stage videos in front of Do Yeonjae’s eyes and play them all day, but doing that would also hurt his pride. Blue veins stood out on his tightly clenched knuckles.
“…….”
Do Yeonjae chewed pizza and tilted his head. Why is he like that? His coldly hardened face looked extremely displeased. Well, he always had that expression in front of him anyway. But he looked much more dissatisfied than usual….
Could it be that he got annoyed because I watched NEOS stages?
