Can You Keep A Secret? - Simon Dominic

Requested: I would like to request a fic where simon Dominic is with Jay's little sister and Jay finds out. @soulpunker58

Warnings: Angst, fluff

Everyone has their secrets.

These secrets may be big or small, they may be kept secret for your own state of mind or for the sake of those around you.

There are some secrets that will follow you to the grave and others that eventually will have to see the light.

You were keeping a secret that you knew eventually would need to come out, but you had no idea how those around you would react to it.

You had been dating Jeong Kiseok for almost a year which would never have been that big of a deal or too major a secret, except for the fact that Kiseok was one of your older brother’s best friends.

Your older brother being Park Jaebeom.

You and Kiseok had always been drawn to each other, from the first time you had laid eyes on him you had known he was the one you wanted.

You had met in such a mundane way. When you were bored you would often turn up announced to Jay’s studio. Luckily for you, on one of those days Kiseok had been accompanying Jay. You had been introduced to each other and there was no doubt in your mind that Kiseok was your type.

His exterior was rough and strong with a boyish charm, yet inside the man was gentle and comforting. He exuded a confidence and self-assured air that was refreshing. The moment he cheekily smiled at you was the moment you knew you were done for.

That day, Kiseok had taken your number under the guise of wanting to be able to get in contact with Jay even when his phone was off. He said he should have your number because you usually knew where your bother was. You agreed even though you thought it was slightly odd. You didn’t really expect him to ever actually phone.

So that same evening when he called caught you off guard. You had answered with slight confusion knowing that you had left Jay and Kiseok back at the studio together so there was no real reason for him to be phoning now. Kiseok made excuses that night in order to keep you on the phone for longer than you deemed normal for people who had only met earlier that day. You weren’t exactly complaining but you also were confused about why he had even bothered.

The next night he phoned again and the night after that too. It soon became routine for Kiseok to phone you and just talk about nothing. Finally, after a week of the same thing you plucked up your courage and asked the man why he continued to phone you. You remember the distinct silence from his end of the phone, and you wondered if he had hung up on you. Kiseok mumbled out something that sounded like he was telling you not to worry about it and then quickly moved the conversation on.

You didn’t bring it up again after that. Neither of ever mentioned to anyone else about your nightly calls and soon, without even noticing, it had been almost a year of back and forth, skirting around the issue of your mutual interest.

Your friends knew you had someone you liked but they never pushed you to admit it. If you were being honest, the relationship between you and Kiseok probably wouldn’t have progressed if it hadn’t been for your older brother and his friends being constantly in your business and personal life.

One day you had gone to the studio to sit with Jay and the rest of the boys when the subject had turned to you, the boys deciding to try and play matchmaker. Seonghwa had started to tell you about how he had a friend who you’d be perfect with and then pulled out his phone to show you the Instagram page of none other than Nafla.

You had laughed it off, cheeks burning slightly as you surreptitiously looked around the room and all eyes seemed to be on you. Kiseok particularly seemed to be taking an interest in where this conversation was going. You tried to move the conversation on but Seonghwa was relentless and started to question you about your type, suggesting that maybe you’d be a better match with Loopy.

To get him off your back you’d taken Loopy’s number from him and agreed to think about it. You liked Loopy but you had no real intention of getting in contact with him. Instead of stirring up your emotions and getting on your nerves as he wished, it seemed Seonghwa had missed the target and unintentionally hit Kiseok.

That night he phoned just as he had been doing for the past year but seemed more distracted than usual. You got tired trying to bring him to talk normally and finally asked what was bothering him. He had huffed in reply and confessed that Seonghwa trying to set you up with Nafla or Loopy earlier in the day had made him jealous. His admission had sparked your confidence and you wondered aloud why he wouldn’t do something about it if he was so jealous? He had laughed and actually agreed, asking you on a date with him for the next night.

From that moment on you both hadn’t looked back.

Your relationship just came easily and it wasn’t hard to believe that it was fast approaching your first anniversary.

Honestly, most people in AOMG and H1ghr had seemed to catch on that there was definitely something going on between you and Kiseok. However, one of those who still seemed oblivious was your brother Jay. It wasn’t as though you were deliberately keeping your relationship a secret, it had just never seemed the right time to tell him. You both hadn’t wanted to tell him in the early days and cause chaos for a relationship that might have ended after the honeymoon stage, and then the time had just slipped away like sand in an hourglass a year already on the horizon.

At this point you weren’t sure how to tell him without making him feel betrayed that you and Kiseok had gone behind his back for so long. Other members of AOMG had offered to hint at the subject to Jay but you had politely declined, you would rather your brother find out from you.

On an evening just like many others, Kiseok had come to your apartment to spend time with you and the both of you had decided to just lounge around on your couch and enjoy each other’s company. You had placed a bowl of popcorn on the coffee table and two glasses for your respective drinks of water and beer.

As the conversation was winding down, you lay your head on Kiseok’s chest and breathed in his scent. He wrapped an arm around you and helped you get more comfortable in his lap. Suddenly your phone started ringing, cutting the cosy atmosphere. You picked it up curiously not really considering your actions.

“Hey sis, open the door. I’m outside.” Your brother grumbled into the phone. You jumped up and off Kiseok’s lap, stumbling onto the floor. Kiseok opened his mouth to ask if you were alright and you pinched his thigh, motioning for him to be quiet.

“Okay, give me a minute.” You quickly told your brother and hung up. You looked at Kiseok with shock for a second before hissing at him that Jay was outside.

Kiseok’s eyes widened almost comically and he jumped off the couch, running around the room. Jay’s fist thumped on the door incessantly, indicating that he was getting impatient. You mumbled at Kiseok to make himself scarce as you slowly moved towards to the door. As you reached the door you looked back and couldn’t see your boyfriend.

You opened the door to your brother who quickly brushed you aside and went straight in, throwing himself onto the couch that moments ago had been occupied by you and Kiseok. Jay picked up a handful of popcorn as you shuffled your legs, trying to subtly figure out where your boyfriend had gone.

“What’s up with you?” Jay questioned, looking at your awkward behaviour.

“Nothing.” You tried to reply nonchalantly, eyes still slowly roaming the room. “Why are you here?” You asked your brother as he carried on eating your popcorn.

“Bored at home.” He mumbled between chewing his popcorn. As you went to tell him to leave, you watched as his eyes noticed the two glasses sitting in front of him. He jumped up suddenly.

“Sis, do you have someone here?” He laughed out, playing the role of annoying and nosy older brother so well in that moment.

“What? No.” You lied, trying to think of an excuse to give him as to why you had beer sitting on your coffee table even though you weren’t an alcohol drinker.

It was too late though; he had already begun his mission to embarrass you and whoever you had brought into your apartment. As you followed you wanted to scream as you noticed where your overgrown child of a boyfriend had decided to hide. Kiseok had decided the best hiding place was behind the curtains in your bedroom. He hadn’t done a great job of arranging the curtains properly though and it was quite obvious to you that his foot was peeking out from underneath.

You shuffled behind Jay as he walked, looking around suspiciously. You hoped that your brother was as much of an idiot as your boyfriend and didn’t bother to look too closely as you went further into the bedroom. You tried not to draw attention to your stupid boyfriend’s socked foot sticking out from under the edge of the curtain.

You didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as Jay got closer to Kiseok’s hiding place. After following your brother as he snooped around in the different corners of your apartment you could feel your nose tickling, the dust, that Jay had managed to displace, irritating your sinuses. Suddenly you let out a high-pitched sneeze.

“Bless you.” A muffled voice sounded.

You sighed, smacking your forehead with the palm of your hand. Kiseok was an absolute idiot but there was also no denying that he was also a gentleman. Quick as a flash, Jay flung back the curtain and pulled Kiseok out of his poorly chosen hiding place.

Your brother looked angry as Kiseok hung his head not wanting to face his best friend. You tugged on your brother’s sleeve, trying to get him to look at you instead of glaring at Kiseok.

“How could you do this?” Your brother questioned, frustration evident on his face. “What is this anyway? Why is he here?” Jay’s annoyance was clear as he threw questions out at you.

Your eyes started to prickle, you always hated when your brother was disappointed in you. Kiseok reached out and held your hand, knowing that you hated letting your brother down.

Your brother sighed, keeping his eyes on you. He didn’t want to look at Kiseok and snap, not wanting to be rude and disrespect his Hyung.

“He’s my boyfriend.” You whispered out, Kiseok’s hand tightening around your own.

“How long?” Jay asked, you looked at him confused. “How long?” This time he raised his voice and you jumped slightly. Jay never shouted at you.

Kiseok pulled you to stand behind him, staring down Jay. “Almost a year.” He responded to Jay.

Your brother sat on the edge of your bed, looking deflated and put his head in his hands. The atmosphere was sharp and cold, you hadn’t wanted him to find out like this.

His shoulders started shaking and you moved closer to him, putting a hand on his back. Suddenly he couldn’t hold it any longer and burst out laughing. You were confused, looking at Kiseok in shock.

“You two really thought you were being secretive?” He questioned, laughing even harder at the confused look on both of your faces.

You looked at Kiseok and made a questioning face, receiving a shrug in reply.

“I’ve known you two were together for a long time now.” Jay confessed, still laughing slightly at you and Kiseok. “I knew there was something going on back when I first introduced you. Kiseok hyung used to sneak out of the studio with his phone all the time.” Your brother continued on, rolling his eyes.

You elbowed your boyfriend in the side as he smiled sheepishly. You should have known he wasn’t as slick as he thought he was.

Jay crossed his arms, “Plus, my suspicions were confirmed a few months back when Seonghwa hyung told me you were dating.”

You almost screamed, why did Seonghwa have such a big mouth? You knew you shouldn’t have let Kiseok go and tell him to knock it off after he kept pestering you about whether you had phoned Loopy or not. Your brother had been watching you and Kiseok sneak around whilst laughing at you all along.

“You’re not angry?” You questioned Jay, still thinking about ways to torture Seonghwa for not being able to keep a secret.

“Why should I be? You’re both old enough to make your own decisions.” Jay laughed out, pulling you closer to ruffle your hair. You huffed, hugging your brother. Kiseok cheered suddenly, throwing his arms around you and Jay. You rolled your eyes, pinching Kiseok. He jumped, rubbing his side.

“This is your fault” You mumbled, eyeing your boyfriend. Kiseok rubbed the back of his neck with a pout on face.

Your brother groaned as you moved away, pulling Kiseok’s face towards your own. Jay manoeuvred around the both of you, hastily making his exit as you stroked the side of your boyfriend’s face. The door to your apartment slammed as your lips made contact with their target.

Alone at last.
