love equation, neo, hakyeon's girlfriend leaves him because she doesn't want her boyfriend to have a boyfriend

(fill)

[(Anonymous)]

Cha Hakyeon was not often struck speechless.

"What?" he repeated dumbly, staring at his girlfriend of almost two years, unsure if he'd misheard her, if this was a prank, or if it was exactly what it seemed like--a huge misunderstanding. Her anger was very real.

"Don't make me repeat myself," she says, and Hakyeon reaches across the table to console her because she seems near tears, and it's a habit. She flings his touch off like poison, and this is where Hakyeon knows he's fucked up. Somehow.

"I think you're misunderstanding--"

"Misunderstanding?" Seoah laughed dryly. "That's what I thought too, at first. You're just 'very good friends'. So why don't you stay with your very good friend for a week while I get my shit out of your place and we'll both be happier."

"Seoah, please, listen to me," Hakyeon said, but he knew a lost cause when he saw one. They were drawing attention, other cafe customers glancing surreptiously towards their corner. He slumped back against his chair, and counted himself lucky he hadn't gotten hot coffee thrown at him.

---

"You broke up? Over me?"

Taekwoon stared at him, slack jawed in surprise.

"She told me to change my lock screen wallpaper to match my home screen," Hakyeon said glumly. He knocked back a shot of soju, wincing as it burned down his throat. He rarely drank these days.

Taekwoon threw himself onto the couch next to Hakyeon and yanked the bottle away, placing it safely on the ground beside him. Before he had a chance to get a word in, Hakyeon had thrown his arms around Taekwoon's waist in a tight hug.

"She said she 'didn't want her boyfriend to have a boyfriend' and that you cooked dinner for me too much," Hakyeon whined into Taekwoon's shoulder.

"That's because she works late and you were eating takeout every night," Taekwoon said, bewildered.

"And she didn't like that I touch you so much, but I touch everyone, even if our baby Hyukkie grumbles and pushes me away!" Hakyeon continued. "And Taekwoonie, do you know what else she said? She said--"

"Hakyeon. Repeat what you said before that."

"What?"

"What you said. About... she didn't want her boyfriend..."

"She didn't want her boyfriend to have a boyfriend!" Hakyeon said indignantly, sitting straight up. His eyes were rimmed with red, and glistened damply. "That picture's from high school!"

Taekwoon bit back a sigh as he stared at his best friend, who'd rang the doorbell until Taekwoon let him in even though he knew the door code, and then pushed his way into the apartment armed with a paper bag of soju, and deposited himself on Taekwoon's couch. He knew that Hakyeon had deeply loved Seoah, and he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty that he was the reason. But: 'boyfriend'. That word stuck in his thoughts, tumbling like an awkward branch in a whirlpool, snagging and spinning and--

He stood up, and gently pat Hakyeon on the head. Hakyeon looked up at him like a sad, lost puppy.

"Pasta makes everything better," Taekwoon said. He bent down and held up the bottle of soju, like a teacher confiscating contraband. "And pasta goes with wine."

"You make a very good boyfriend," Hakyeon said with a choked laugh.

"Go wash your face," Taekwoon said, as the whirlpool in his thoughts grew more erratic. He paused, and then with a sly grin, before he went to the kitchen: "you're ugly when you cry."

Hakyeon's reaction was just as good as Taekwoon had hoped for. Maybe they weren't boyfriends or anything close, but at least Taekwoon would try to stay with Hakyeon and help mend his broken heart.

"There is a third option," Hakyeon points out as he fields Taekwoon's whining over the phone. Really, all he wanted was a nice, calm dinner with a friend, he didn't need this.

"But our Hyukkie keeps ignoring me!"

"Skill diff," Hongbin chimes in over speaker.

Taekwoon briefly pauses to wonder why Hongbin is even there--and then just whines harder.

[(Anonymous)]

The problem with living separately was that meeting up could be... inconvenient. It wasn't so bad to get Sanghyuk to come by, and despite Hongbin's schedule, it was still somehow easier to find him than Jung Taekwoon, who staunchly wanted to claim Jaehwan's attention all to himself.

Taekwoon had to be 'in the mood', except most of the time, his mood involved staying at home, watching TV by himself, and drinking wine.

"Damn, you got Taekwoon hyung to cook for us?" Sanghyuk asked, still lounging on Jaehwan's couch as he turned off the PS5.

"I had to tell him you were here," Jaehwan said with a pout. "I think I liked it more when he'd only cook for us when we asked."

"Eh, you know how he gets when he's all tipsy and nostalgic," Sanghyuk said, grimacing. "He's so clingy and he keeps crying. It's harshing the vibes."

Jaehwan laughed, still busying himself in the kitchen. He had... other plans, but he did want dinner out of this. One way or another.

"Still can't believe that aired," Sanghyuk said out of nowhere, like he'd somehow read Jaehwan's thoughts.

Jaehwan raised an eyebrow, turning slowly. "Believe what aired?" he asked, blinking innocently.

"Taekwoon needs to be disciplined lately?" Sanghyuk choked back a laugh and shook his head. "Really, hyung, what will your babies think of you now?"

Jaehwan smirked, walking towards Sanghyuk and looming over him.

"He's not the only one," he said, deepening his voice and raising an eyebrow.

The effect was entirely ruined when Sanghyuk yanked him down and sat Jaehwan down on his lap.

"Dowonkyung was a long time ago," Sanghyuk said in a husky voice right next to Jaehwan's ear, sending shivers down Jaehwan's spine. "Taekwoon hyung's the only one it still works on."

Jaehwan huffed, twisting his way out of Sanghyuk's grip to sit next to him on the couch.

"Still better than the time Wonsik asked for a whip," Jaehwan said.

Sanghyuk choked on air. "He didn't ask--"

"Implied," Jaehwan said, rolling his eyes. Still: "I thought they'd cut it too," he admitted.

"You say so much weird stuff the staff didn't even bat an eye," Sanghyuk said.

"I know, I'm outrageous," Jaehwan said proudly.

"That wasn't a compliment," Sanghyuk said, pinching Jaehwan's arm.

"Were you really going to buy a club?" Sanghyuk asked, once Jaehwan had finally stopped whining like he was Taekwoon.

"Oh!" Jaehwan said, suddenly brightening up in a way that had Sanghyuk's stomach dropping. "I got a baseball bat the other day–"

"You know what. Forget I asked. I'll go grab some more beer from the store while you wait for hyung," Sanghyuk said, and practically jumped from the sofa.

Maybe he should warn Taekwoon after all… nah, on second thought, he could always do with having a bit more fear put into him.

taekwoon, secret pet hoarder

[(Anonymous)]

It starts with a turtle.

Well, that would not be fair. It starts with Bboki, of course, and how devastated it leaves Taekwoon when he passes.

Which, of course, leads to a turtle. It has already passed the dangerous age where they die young when he adopts Matcha, which means that as long as Taekwoon feeds her properly, it should outlive him with ease.

He can’t take her for a walk, of course, but he can leave her walk around the apartment for a few minutes each day so she can get her exercise in. Taekwoon loves to sit by the window and watch her get sunbathed, the neck stretched as far as it can reach.

He doesn’t tell anyone about it at first, and then it feels silly to say, so he keeps it to himself.

*

The guinea pig comes next.

It’s not even planned, honestly. He was just on his way home when he heard something coming from near the trash. He was small and scared, trying to get out of the box he had been abandoned in, and made himself even smaller once Taekwoon picked him up.

He took Ppero home, and then to the vet when he had the chance, and of course he kept him.

He had to get a bit careful with his cable management and make sure nothing was left within reach when he was out from home but it was all paid off when he got to lay on the floor and play with him.

*

The cat is next, and it’s probably the biggest surprise of all.

It’s not like he hates cats, of course. But after a lifetime of being told he was like one when he’s decidedly a dog person kind of made the decision for him. Because getting a cat would be like agreeing with all those people, and while he would not be able to say that in public, it was the last thing he wanted to do.

And then he meets Kimchi, the rescue Minseok is fostering, who rubbed herself all over his legs the second she got the chance to, and who loved to be on his shoulders no matter what he was doing, and letting her go with another family did not sit well with him.

He didn’t share that thought with anyone though, but Minseok saw right through him, going as far as coming in uninvited with the carrier and the bag full of her stuff, ready to move her in.

“Tan was getting really antsy, I might need to rething this fostering thing,” he says, getting everything ready around his bedroom. “You were the one she liked most of everyone she saw, so she’ll be okay.”

‘What if I don’t want her to stay?’ is what Taekwoon was about to ask, right when Kimchi comes outside of the carrier and after looking around for a bit, climbs the bed and curls around the exact spot where Taekwoon sleeps.

Of course she stays after that.

it's a really ugly couch, gen

[(Anonymous)]

"No, rotate left, other left!"

"Counter clockwise," Hakyeon said, hovering around the disaster scene. Strictly forbidden from heavy lifting.

"I am!" Jaehwan yelled from the other side, completely obscured by the bulky yellow couch, stood up on one end.

"We are," Hongbin amended, sounding progressively more murderous.

"Do you think we should just give it away?" Taekwoon fretted. "I think Wonsik is getting... I think he's stuck?"

"Flattened," Hakyeon offered.

"If the two of you don't have anything to contribute, shut up," Sanghyuk snapped. He spared a glance behind him, and Taekwoon actually squeaked as he took a step back.

"Um. I'm fine?" Wonsik said, barely visible between the couch and the porch window. "But maybe we should try what Sanghyuk said and... push it?"

Sanghyuk yanked at the bottom of the couch, very obviously stuck against the doorframe, to little effect. He muttered a string of grumbled curses that would've had Hakyeon scolding him on any other day.

Hongbin sighed, stepping back to survey the situation.

"Hyung, do you have a chainsaw? Can we just cut it in half?" he asked. "We can just glue it together later."

A pause.

"I'm joking. But I can't believe you wanted to keep this eyesore," he added, giving it an annoyed kick.

Maybe it was Wonsik wiggling free. Maybe it was Jaehwan throwing his shoulder against it. Maybe it was Sanghyuk swearing at it. Or maybe

"It's a miracle," Taekwoon breathed, as the thing suddenly slid through the door. "We did it."

"You didn't do anything," five voices said in unison with varying degrees of vitriol.

"Dinner's on me?" Taekwoon offered.

"Meat. High quality meat," Sanghyuk said, collapsed on the floor next to the couch, still halfway on the porch.

Hakyeon ruffled Sanghyuk's hair. A sidelong glance in Taekwoon's direction. "They deserve it."

"You didn't do anything either," Taekwoon said. His poor wallet.

[(Anonymous)]

Taekwoon can’t sleep. He’s in bed, has been for at least a couple of hourse, but the clock on his nightstand tells him it’s 2 am when he opens his eyes. He sighs, wondering if it might just be better to get up and work on some of the scripts he’s in the middle of working through instead of worrying about the meeting they have scheduled for the comeback, when his phone screen lights up and starts ringing.

The phone that is perpetually on Do-Not-Disturb and has very little exceptions.

Hongbin’s name, flashing on the caller ID, being one of them.

He’s swiping to answer before he can even think about it.

“Is everyone okay?” Taekwoon says.

Hongbin doesn’t even seem surprised by the question, even if he doesn’t answer it.

“I know it’s really late, but would you have time to come to my place? Now?”

“What happened?” Taekwoon insists.

“I think you need to see for yourself. Let yourself in when you get here.”

And so Taekwoon goes, not even getting dressed before jumping to his car and driving to Hongbin’s apartment.

When he gets there, one of Jaehwan’s car is parked right by the entrance, in a spot that will likely get him a ticket.

Taekwoon runs up.

*

The locks chimes loudly in the silence of the corridor, and Taekwoon lets himself in before any neighbor can come in and snoop. Once inside, and even though he has barely ever set foot in here, it’s easy to follow the voices into what he suspects it’s Hongbin’s room.

“You know that this all sounds crazy, right?” Sanghyuk is saying when he opens the door. His back is turned to it, so he doesn’t see him come in. And, funnily enough, blocks him to be noticed when he enters.

“Believe me, I know, but what did you want me to do?” Hongbin replies.

Hakyeon, Taekwoon notices, is sitting on Hongbin’s bed, looking at them mildly alarmed and very confused.

“What’s going on?” he says, and all four of them turn to look at him at once.

“Great, you’re all here,” Hongbin says. “There’s no good way to say this, I tried, so you get the quick version: apparently Hakyeon went back in time.”

The reply is forming in Taekwoon’s lips, but before he can even start, Hongbin continues. “I know he looks like Hakyeon, and he is, kind of. Except for the fact that apparently for him it’s 2012.”

“Apparently,” Jaehwan interrupts, “he wanted to travel back to 2019, but he miscalculated?”

Jaehwan hands him a letter. Taekwoon reads.

*

Hongbin,

If I am handing you this, it means that the spell has worked and that I have managed to go back in time. The person you have in front of you looks like me, but it’s the me from 2019.

Don’t worry, I left him a letter in case it worked, which is why he contacted you. Out of everyone, I know you would be the one that he would have an easier time reaching out to. He will be confused and might want to know what has happened since the time he left but it is very important that he doesn’t know for this to work.

I know what to do to fix everything so hopefully this will take a very short time and you will only need to make sure that I? He? We don’t die in the time this takes.

I am very sorry for doing this to you, I know it is asking too much. I will buy you whatever you want when I get back.

You can tell the others though. Of course you can.

See you soon,
Hakyeon

*

Idiot.

Time travel was not on his list of things to happen in 2023, but so very little of the things that happened were, he might as well put it on the list.

“So what do we do now?” Taekwoon says, returning the letter to Hongbin.

“What, you believe that?” Sanhyuk exclaims.

“You don’t?” Taekwoon counters, and points at the Hakyeon sitting on Hongbin’s bed. “When was the last time Hakyeon has been this quiet since you’ve known him?”

“… Yeah, okay, I guess it would take magic for that to happen.”

Hakyeon, from the other end of the room, mutters a ”Rude,” barely high enough for them to hear, but good enough to break the tension. He might not be their Hakyeon yet, but it is definitely him.

“So what, we babysit him and hope for the best?” Hongbin asks. “It doesn’t exactly say how long this is supposed to last.”

“Even if it did, he got the year wrong so we couldn’t trust it either,” Sanhyuk muses.

“What if,” Jaehwan says, “we tried to go back and find him?”

It’s Sanhyuk, who had been so opposed to the idea of magic working in the first place, who answers first. “But we don’t know how he did it.”

And Taekwoon doesn’t fail to notice that it is not a no. Hongbin, from the way he looks at Sanghyuk, has noticed too.

“So we investigate until we know.” Jaehwan counters, “He must have some clue in his apartment.”

“Or his computer,” Hongbin adds, “or his phone.”

“And when we know, we go find him.”

“He won’t like that,” Hakyeon says from the bed, truly participating in the conversation since Taekwoon has entered. “On the note he left for, well, me I guess, besides telling me to contact Hongbin, it also said to not let you try and get him back. And I don’t know all of you, like this, yet, but if he did it, he must have his reasons.”

Of course Hakyeon knew that they would try.

“Because he’s an idiot,” Sanghyuk says. “He’s an idiot for trying, and going through with it and making a mistake, but he’s an ever bigger one for thinking we are going to just wait for him to come back.”
