NOT SO SUBTLE

Chapter 2

San and the members all jump into the van as their manger takes the driver’s seat, hands clamping around the steering wheel and driving the car out of the driveway.

Usually they had three cars, two members go in each but today, their manager decided to pick them up due to the amount of fans crowding the other side of the road where they usually took when heading to the company.

They finally arrive, staring up at the tall building of their company.

They all rush out of the car, talking about something while Gerald guides San to the building with his hands on the small of his back.

“Get changed immediately!” The photographer yelled and the stylists starts dressing up the members.

San was the first to get dressed up, his blonde hair slicked back with the right amount of gel. A scar drawn from his eyebrows down to the under of his eye. His make up perfect, emphasising on his already pretty face. A nice black human collar hanging on his neck while his pretty earrings dangled as he moved around.

He had on a black crop top that hugged his torso perfectly, his flat tummy in display and his leather pants hanging on his small waist, his hour glass figure so evident that even the photographer had to fight the urge not to drool at him.

“Okay San, give me a good pose” The photograph said and San nods at him.

One thing with San is that he’s crazy professional, no matter what and how sad he’s feeling at a particular time, he never lets it show whenever it’s time to work and be professional.

The background was white with green lines adorned on it, a white couch placed in the middle of the room so San could sit on it and strike the perfect pose he wanted.

San takes his position on the couch, letting his elbow rest on the couch as he props his body up, one of his knee raised up. He was laying down, his elbow helping him raise his body up a bit and then his knee propped up. It was perfect, he was perfect.

His other hand held the base of the collar around his neck then turned to the camera, his eyes hooded and dangerous, seductive even and f*****g attractive.

The photographer swallows, glancing at the staff who couldn’t even take their eyes off San too, they’ve never seen someone so perfect but was he really perfect? he might be appearance wise but San knows he’s far from being perfect.

“Perfect” The photographer says, loud enough for San to hear before he starts clicking and taking pictures of the gorgeous boy seated on the couch like a prince charming.

The other members were done dressing up too and they all walked out of the dressing room, Gerald was the first to walk out and when he saw San, there, so pretty, his beauty radiating, his breath hitched and he swallowed.

The other members gasp too at the sight of San, they all know he was beyond beautiful but seeing him like this, out of the dorm and in his professional state made them realise even more that they were nothing compared to San.

The boy exuded professionalism, magnificence, everything good and endearing and they all seemed to be in a trance as they watched him.

San was asked to change his pose and he obliged, getting up and sitting on the couch properly. His legs spread, one of his hand dropping to hold onto the couch in between his legs and he pushed his chest out, his other hand holding onto his hair, tugging gently.

He maintains an expressionless look, earning tons of stares from everyone in the room.

“f**k” Gerald mutters, eyes trying so hard to look elsewhere but he just couldn’t, he couldn’t take his eyes off the boy that was crying two hours ago and he was holding him, in his arms.


it surprises him how San’s demeanour changes every time they’re at work, he’s exceptional, the best at everything he does.

“Great great, you’re doing well San.” The photographer praises, the staff adorning praises to San too as they take more shots of him.

“One last pose and we’re done” The photographer announces and San nods.

He lays on the couch, his head resting on the hand of the couch as he spreads his legs. Man spreading so well that Gerald released a low groan at the sight of the boy, spreading those damn legs like that with no hint of shyness or shame.

The photograph moves closer to San with the camera so he can capture the look perfectly. San tilts his head, turning to the side and his eyes lands on Gerald, looking delicious as ever.

Dressed up in pure black leather and his boots adorned with small diamonds. San observes him for a while and their eyes meet. He smirks at Gerald and the camera clicks, getting the perfect shot of San’s eyes on Gerald in the sexiest way ever.

“You did great San, very well” The staff praises, he bows at them, thanking them before getting up from the couch and going to stand beside Gerald.

Gerald gulps at the close proximity, too scared to look at San’s face so he wouldn’t see how his face was getting pink and flushed.

“Hyung, did i do well?” San asks and Gerald nods at him.

“So well, you- uh looked really pretty” Gerald says stuttering and San smiles at the slight strain in his voice.

“Thanks, i’ll go change”.

San walks back to the dressing room to put in his normal clothes while the other members get their own photos taken.

“Yah San-ah, you look really different whenever we’re working” Yuta comments while they’re all at the dining table, eating food they ordered right after work.

They all agreed to talk to each other informally since they were practically family and they’ve lived with each for three years.

Sometimes the younger ones prefer to add formalities so things don’t get awkward at some point.

“Ha really?” San asks, he knows he’s right but he just wants to hear them praise him often. He loves compliments and it at least put a smile on his face whenever he hears them praising him.

“Yeah, right hyung?” Yuta says, directing his question to Gerald who’s been quiet for a while and he snaps his head up from the food to look at Yuta.

“Huh? yeah he does” Gerald agrees earning a small shy smile from San.

Their manager finally arrived to the dorms, he mentioned having a message to relay to them so he was currently sitting with them at the dining, rubbing his palms together while they all stared at him curiously, nobody bothered to take a bite out of their food so they wouldn’t miss anything he had to say.

“The photos today, you guys did really great, especially you, San” Their manager Sehun says and they all smiled, bowing to thank him for the compliments. It’s good to hear about how great you did at stuff.

“Guys, we need to promote you guys more. I talked to Bang PD and he says we need to tip off the press about information, start a rumour surrounding you guys in order to have people’s attention on you” Sehun explains and they all share a look, unsure of what he’s trying to say or whatever the hell he means.

“We need to start a rumour about you guys so people will take interest in you and that being said, San has to be the topic of the rumour”

“Ahhh Sunbae, what are you talking about?” Chan chimes in

“San is the most hated member, so making the rumour about him won’t ruin things for the rest of you” Sehun says, not even caring how painful those words were to San. How those words could affect him emotionally and mentally.

San smiles awkwardly, not knowing what to say or do while the members stared at him, bothered about the whole thing.

“What rumours do you wanna start?” Chan asks instead since nobody else bothered to ask when the question was basically hovering in their minds.

Sehun sighs, rubbing the back of his neck, nervous even because he knows it’s going to get worse from here. Things are going to get messy and San has to endure of all the rubbish.

“A dating rumour” Sehun says

“Not bad, expected worse” Yuta says and Gerald throws a glare at him and the boy whimpers away.

“No, a dating rumour with a guy” Sehun clarifies and they gasp, well most of them
