"Oh, hey there! Are you looking for someone? Me? I'm Zelo, if you need anything, come talk to me! I'm pretty lax... Unless you piss me off, but let's not talk about that."

With Chanhee’s comeback in less than a day’s time, Zelo knew the amount of time the elder had on his hands with their show as limited. He didn’t mind, of course, but it didn’t mean he wasn’t disappointed. Zelo was the prime example of someone who wanted to act out the role of an adult; he was by far the youngest on the show, in his family, and also his second family, B.A.P; so what better was it that he received the mission to take care of the youngest baby in the group of kids assigned? Zelo had no qualms with being a parent for two weeks and he certainly didn’t mind the fact that he was paired with Chanhee, but to be fair, he did speak his mind to the management in regards to the topic.
The rapper slid his long slender fingers through his red locks and pursed his lips. The sigh was stuck in his throat as he peered down at his phone. No new messages, figures. The vocalist was probably busy which made sense considering his comeback was literally less than a day away. Zelo knew the feeling of nervousness and the constant anxiety problems he would face before going on stage; it didn’t matter how many times he’d done it or performed, the grief of being uneasy was always going to be there. On the bright side, his alter-ego made things much better. Having someone to share the discomfort was always nice – Fallen Zelo certainly made sure of that and maybe it was because they had no choice since they were stuck in one body but hey, there were more advantages than there were disadvantages so everything worked out fine, really.
It was just slightly awkward on Zelo’s side because Fallen Zelo’s feelings were mixed within his own. Never had he seen Teen Top’s Chunji in that way until Fallen Zelo came about and resided in his body. Sure, he admit he found the other cute when they worked together that one time during their end of the year performance stage but other than that, they never really interacted much. Their music was different too so Zelo never found the reason to contact the other for any reason. Whether or not Fallen Zelo’s impact on him was a good thing was another thing all together. He didn’t complain because he felt no need to but it was a little odd considering the redhead never thought of himself as such a person. He’d always assumed he’d find a nice girl one day and settle down with her eventually but with his troubling feelings towards the vocalist, it made things hard to get by and certainly more than enough to get his mind boggled in more ways than one.
The male looked through his contact list before sending a message to his hyung.
Hey, Chanhee~ I’m here. Text me when you get here. I’m in the lobby.
Well, might as well make the best of it.
YAH. COVER YOUR STOMACH.
DON’T LAUGH, AISH. I’M SERIOUS.
Yah, Lee Chanhee, do you have something against me?
YAH. COVER YOUR STOMACH.
I’m more popular than L.JokeThat makes no difference, in my opinion. Just you handling it will give me enough trouble for the remaining night.
Yah, Lee Chanhee, do you have something against me?
I’LL BUY YOU ALL THE COOKIES YOU WANT, CHANHEE!
No. No, please. No. The last time you baked me cookies, half of them were raw on the inside. I had
explosive diarrhoeastomach problems the entire night.
I SAID I’D BUY YOU COOKIES. NOT BAKE. I’ve decided to never cook or bake again. I don’t exactly want you dying on me.
No. No. NO. NO.
NO.
MY COOKIES.
I’LL BUY YOU ALL THE COOKIES YOU WANT, CHANHEE!
THE FIRST THING DAE DID WHEN HE GOT TO YALE WAS FAWN OVER CHUNJI’S FACE.
/pats your cheek. Because you’re too adorable~ too bad for him, you’re mine so.
To be honest, the package Zelo sent the elder was because he wanted Chanhee to do well for his comeback the following week. Obviously, Chanhee being Chanhee had something to do with him going the extra mile but Zelo meant well either way; he didn’t exactly think he’d get his ass kicked into next week for doing something like this for the elder, especially not by a fellow band member of the group but he supposed it made sense especially given how close he’d gotten to the singer as of late. Jealousy was never a good thing and Zelo knew that the feeling would only grow until it merged into something ugly and completely deformed.
When he received the text from his hyung, Zelo knew he was in for a lecture; whether or not Chanhee was mad at him was another thing, the elder never seemed to be mad without a reason and most of the time, the reason was quite visible. If Zelo thought Chanhee was going to be indifferent about it, he was sadly mistaken. When the blond appeared before him with an unreadable look on his face, Zelo thought that maybe things weren’t going to be in his favour. At least not this time. The young one gave his hyung a meek smile as he peered down at him.
“Hey, Chanhee. Did you get my flowers?” And the box of heart shaped chocolates practically professing his love for the elder. Of course those were only minor details. Details, details.
“You can’t do that, nope~”“What, why not?”
“Because.”
“That doesn’t tell me anything, silly Chanhee~”
