chan and jisung

these two are special. because they’re the og pair, aren’t they? we’ve all heard the stories: jisung was just some kid who’d wandered in off the streets in malaysia, bleeding talent over everything he touched. chan must have known about him the moment he showed up. the monster trainee who spoke kinda funny, talked kinda loud, picked too many fights and got on everyone’s nerves. that’s one hell of a first impression. it kinda seems impossible that they could have met and got along: jyp’s golden child and the insolent new kid with authority issues. but that’s the thing about both of them: they love to defy expectations.

i think chan met jisung and saw it right away. maybe jisung’s loud, maybe he talks too much, maybe he says things he shouldn’t and starts shit he can’t finish and takes on things twice his size because he’s too fucking stubborn and reckless and hot-tempered, but he’s also scared of the dark. scared of loud noises. he gets lost in big crowds and his hands shake when he talks to strangers and he can’t make eye contact to save his life. he needed chan when they met, maybe more than any of the others have ever needed him. he needed someone who would stand in front of him, who would pick up his fights where he left off, who would hold him down when he couldn’t find ground. someone who would love him for who he was, not who everyone else was trying to get him to be. chan saw jisung as he was and loved him because of it, not in spite of it.

to be honest, i look at jisung and i see most of the markers of trauma. all his blustering, all those fights he picks, all the noise he makes, they’re distractions from the way he makes himself very small in large crowds and jumps at loud noises and flinches whenever people move too fast or catch him off-guard. they say he’s dealing with whatever kind of damage he’s carrying, but it can’t be easy for him and it can’t be easy for his team. even so, chan has been there for him every step of the way. the one brief moment he addressed jisung’s anxiety on vlive, he talked about it exclusively in absolutes: we have been supporting him, we will continue to keep supporting him. no conditionals and no doubt.

chan has always fought for jisung, he’s always been fierce about keeping jisung safe. because jisung’s always needed it a little bit more than the others. not because he’s sensitive or weak or vulnerable. more like he’s the kind of kid who’s spent most of his life being told to apologize for himself and chan wants to be the one person in his life who will never ask him to. the person who stands his ground against jisung’s ghosts because he knows that the dawn will come and jisung will light the way home.

i think in return, jisung has given himself up to chan. which makes chan special because jisung strikes me as the kind of person who doesn’t really believe in a whole lot. he’s always seemed like a cynic. it’s not that he’s aloof with stays or disenfranchised from the idol lifestyle—i think he likes the fame, i think he likes the fans, i think he likes the royalties and the music. but he doesn’t engage with his idol status with the same fervor as the others. he doesn’t post selfies or do vlives or indulge the expectations and realities of living as a kpop idol. he doesn’t like doing it by the rules, you know? if he had it his way, he probably wouldn’t even play the game at all. but he does the bare minimum and i think it’s because chan asks him to.

because jisung doesn’t believe in a lot, but he does believe in chan. he does. he’s devoted to him, he treats chan with a respect he doesn’t give anyone else. jisung’s a spitfire. he’s got a temper and a serious attitude problem, he’d rather die than let someone tell him what to do. he could have been anyone, done anything; lord knows he’s got the talent and the spine. instead, he chose chan. chan and his insane dream, his dauntless courage, his relentless hunger, his crazy scheme that would take a miracle to pull off. i want to make it to the top and i want to do it on our own terms. i want to build something that’s going to outlive me. i want to burn the world to the ground and i want you to help me set the fire. jisung was his first. the very first. the start of something a whole lot bigger than just chan. jisung, who lit up the room just by being in it, who spoke and sang and breathed with everything inside of him. chan must have seen jisung and known, deep in his soul. that this was it, this was his catalyst. his supernova. this five-foot-six hell raiser who would follow him into war with a smile.

chan and jisung have been together for a very long time. they know each other inside and out, to the color of blood, the sound of ribs cracking. chan has watched jisung grow into his fire, jisung has watched chan grow into his crown. they are partners, they are best friends, they are unrepentantly ride-or-die. they have fought for each other, their hands are stained with the blood that they’ve spilled for one another. nothing brings out chan’s teeth like a threat on his boy’s heads, jisung would walk across a burning ocean to save chan from himself. they are bonded, tied together with red ribbon and barbed wire. they have sacrificed and they have broken bones for each other and there is nothing that could pull them apart from each other. to the end of the road, you know? they’ll bleed together until the end of the road.

“i’d cut my soul into a million different pieces just to form a constellation to light your way home. i’d write love poems to the parts of yourself that you can’t stand. i’d stand in the shadows of your heart and tell you i’m not afraid of your dark.” – andrea gibson

state of grace (chan and jisung, since the beginning)

or: domestic banghan bc this ship deserves more love

masterlist~

banghan did u mean the cutest couple in existence

they’ve been married since the beginning of time tbh

they got together before 3racha started :~(

when changbin joined jyp, he was immediately adopted by chan

because chan is the Adopter™

chan introduced him to jisung, and they became the world’s most iconic trio

changbin always noticed that chan and jisung were close; not like in a bad way or anything, they just seemed to know each other really well

it took him FOREVER to figure out they were dating lmao

chan, kissing jisung’s forehead and calling him ‘love’:

changbin: wow look at those two close friends!!!

jisung, holding one of chan’s hands with both of his and playing with his curly hair 25/8:

changbin: two!! close!!! friends!!!!

in his defense, though, they’re not super obvious about it

they’re just so natural together

changbin never feels left out or anything; they have a fluid dynamic and always include him

even if he doesn’t want to be included sometimes cough cough trying to tilt the vending machine and shake it so more kitkats fall out cough cough cough

(they ARE the world’s most iconic trio, after all)

plus they have a v good ratio of supporting each other to roasting the heck out of each other

as all relationships should!

changbin probably wouldn’t have figured it out at all if they had never started writing 42

since it was such a heavy song, chan was adamant on getting the lyrics just right, and the beat just right, and everything just right

so he would stay late, and go in early, and there was this one!!! fricking!!!! LINE that really would not flow how he wanted it to

he was stress!!!!

chan would stare and stare at his computer screen, mouthing the words over and over

changbin kept exchanging worried looks with jisung, bc he’s never seen chan so ,,, like this

then jisung peers over chan’s shoulder again, and looks at the words

“hyung, what about ‘water’?”

chan and changbin say “huh?” at the same time

“like, you can say ‘time flows like water’ instead, right? the syllables fit better, i think. and it makes sense, too. time is like water. sometimes it’s slow, like when you leave the faucet on and it won’t stop dripping, and sometimes it’s so fast you can’t catch up, like when you try and run away from the ocean before it reaches your ankles.”

chan mouths the line

“time flows like water”

and

it works

it works!!!!!!!

it’s perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jisung’s watching chan, nervous for his reaction, but chan starts smiling so hard changbin can’t even see his eyes anymore, and before changbin can say or do anything chan’s cupping jisung’s face and pulling him in for a kiss

huh

they separate after just a second, because they’re both smiling too hard, and chan’s already typing it down, and jisung’s already going back to writing in his notebook

like changbin said: huh

how about that

tbh ,,,,, it all kinda ,,,,,,,,, makes sense now

how they’re always sharing clothes, and holding hands, and calling each other pet names, and by god changbin feels like an idiot

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

(he’d never tell them, but they’re really cute together)

even after he knows they’re a couple, he never feels like he’s third wheeling or anything

they love him too much for that

one day they’re all sprawled out in the living room

jisung made a pillow fort, and changbin made popcorn, and they’re having a sleepover!!!!!

and they’re just talking, not really about any one thing in particular

changbin asks how they got together

chan laughs when jisung whines and hides his face

“wELL,” chan starts

changbin prepares himself for a real rollercoaster

“we met ,,, when was it?”

“january 17th” jisung supplies, voice muffled in his pillow

“we met two years ago, on january 17th. he was a new trainee, and we ran into each other in the hallway. his eyes were so wide, and his cheeks were even squishier than they are now, if you can imagine that.”

jisung clings onto changbin, burying his face into changbin’s shoulder. “binnie hyung, chan’s being mean”

changbin just pinches his cheek, and jisung squirms away

“i hate u both :( :( :(”

“no, sungie, you love us” changbin sings, throwing jisung a finger heart

jisung just pouts

“we kept running into each other, and eventually i asked him if he wanted to train together, and he said yes.” chan shrugs. “we got closer after that. i really treasured our friendship, since all of my other friends were debuting. i always felt a little left behind, but having jisung stay with me was enough. i’d loved him since the beginning.”

changbin glances over at jisung when chan says this

jisung looks part like he wants to punch chan, part like he wants to cry, and part like he wants to curl up in a ditch and die from embarrassment

“then”

chan’s voice gets playful here

“then one day he walked up to me. he was a blushing mess. it was so cute!”

jisung turns over and screams into his pillow, pulling a blanket over his head

changbin returns chan’s evil grin

“he asked me ‘hyung, can i show you a song?’ and i said yes, and he took my hand and dragged me into the studio and sat me down in front of his computer.”

“aw,” changbin coos, patting where jisung’s head probably is underneath the blanket. “our sungie is so cute”

“you’re evil, hyung,” comes the reply

“i was surprised to hear a new song, since normally we shared everything with each other, but the music was so beautiful, changbinnie,” chan sighs dramatically, like a lovestruck girl in a drama. “and then sungie started singing.”

jisung makes a strangled sort of noise of protest. changbin can’t help but laugh

“it’s hard to pick my favorite line, because each one of them alone was worthy of falling in love with, but i really liked ‘it’s been you and i since the beginning, can’t help but hope it’ll stay that way till the end’“

changbin genuinely thinks jisung might be crying

chan, the bastard, just smirks and keeps going

“i told him then, ‘when they hear this song, the whole world will fall in love with you,’ and he said right back–”

jisung screams again, louder, but it doesn’t even faze chan this time

“–'i don’t care about the world, hyung. what about you?’”

“aw~ sungie that’s so romantic. you’re so sweet~!”

jisung flings the blanket off his head and launches himself at changbin

chan barely manages to grasp jisung’s waist and pull jisung back down against him

chan starts combing through jisung’s hair with his fingers, and jisung furrows his eyebrows, trying to look upset

(he can’t hide the way he naturally relaxes against chan, though)

“and then,” chan continues, “i said ‘is that what you want?’”

changbin gasps

“hyung you fckin TEASE!!!!”

chan just SMIRKS

the AUDACITY

“see what i had to deal with, binnie-hyung?” jisung whines “what i still have to deal with”

chan tries to wink at him and fails “you love me, baby”

jisung hmphs

“anywhomst ,,,,, i said ‘is that what you want?’ and then sungie went so red, it was so cute!” chan giggles, and ruffles jisung’s hair

jisung tries to look grumpy and fails

“and then he nodded,” chan says, ruffling jisung’s hair, “and kissed me”

a Win for the Gays !

changbin cheers

“and then,” chan continues, smirking again.

“hyung!” jisung pokes chan’s arm. “we can stop the story right now! i think it’s a lovely ending, don’t you?”

“and then he pulled away, and i smiled at him, and he fell off the edge of the chair”

changbin can’t help it

he cackles ! ! !

god, that’s so perfect

jisung groans “channie hyung i hate you” before cuddling into chan’s chest

chan just smiles fondly at him

“that’s a cute story,” changbin says, because it is

“that’s because sungie’s a cute person!” chan says, because he is

“no, it’s an embarrassing story, because i’m an embarrassing person ;-;”

changbin snorts “that too, sung”

jisung, affronted: “you weren’t supposed to agree with me you gremlin”

then they put on a movie (ponyo, because what else) and eat all the snacks in the dorm

when the rest of skz starts to join 3racha on their journey, nothing really changes except they move into a bigger dorm

chan still shows up to rap lessons wearing jisung’s ripndip hoodie, and jisung still holds chan’s hand when they go on trips to the convenience store

it’s a common occurrence for anyone who gets up in the middle of the night for a glass of water to see chan and jisung still up together

sometimes they’re huddled around chan’s laptop, quietly talking rhythms

sometimes chan’s reading a book with his feet in jisung’s lap and jisung’s scrolling through animal videos on twitter, turning his phone to show chan the cutest ones

sometimes jisung’s writing in his notebook and chan’s typing on his phone and they’re not saying anything, just existing in the same space

hyunjin’s leaving the practice rooms one night and sees the studio light still on even though chan promised to go home early tonight

who you gonna call?

han jisung!

jisung walks in carrying two extra jackets

he gives one to hyunjin (“you’re also out too late. it’s cold out there. we miss you back home”)

jisung saves chan’s work and drapes the jacket over his drooping shoulders

”hyung, it’ll still be there tomorrow. but you know what won’t be there tomorrow? the brownies that felix made. i had to fight to save you one. i nearly lost an eye.”

when chan protests, jisung just takes one of chan’s hands with both of his own. “please, hyung?” his voice gets soft. “i just want you to get some rest.”

chan never could resist him

the three of them head home, one of jisung’s arms draped around each of their shoulders, even though he’s too short for it to be comfortable or convenient

“hyunjinnie, i saved you a brownie, too. nearly lost my other eye.”

“thank you for your sacrifice, my liege,” hyunjin says, mock bowing

jisung manages to get them both in bed at a somewhat reasonable time

he’ll count that as a success

another night, jisung has roped minho into helping him practice his dancing

“sungie, i don’t think you need extra–”

“please, hyung? i want to be better”

why are jisung’s puppy dog eyes so hard to resist?

minho curses whichever god gave him the right to look that cute

“fine. but only for an hour, and then you’re going home and resting”

needless to say, jisung is a determined baby who always gets what he wants, and the ‘just one more time’s fade out, because they both know it’s not just one more time

minho keeps glancing at the clock

“hyung, hyung, how was that?”

jisung looks so tired, but so proud of himself

“it was great, sungie! you’ve worked hard and improved a lot. but now it’s time to go home, okay? it’s been more than an hour.”

it’s been like three hours but god jisung needs to stop pouting

“just one more time? please? i’m sorry, i know i’m keeping you up, but just so i can make sure i’ve got it down?”

who you gonna call?

bang chan!

“hyung,” minho whispers. he doesn’t know why he’s whispering. jisung isn’t listening

“hey, minho. what’s up?”

minho almost cries with relief when chan picks up

“hyung, jisung’s been practicing too much, and he’s not ,,,, he’s not listening to me. i’m worried.”

chan gets there in twelve minutes, even though it’s a twenty minute walk

minho watches chan put on a neutral face and take a deep breath before stepping into the practice room

“hey, love,” chan grins, nice and easy. “what’re you two still doing here, huh?”

despite his exhaustion, jisung still lights up when chan enters

“practicing~!” he says, striking a cute pose

“you’re still practicing? but it’s so late!”

jisung frowns a bit, looking at the clock

“it’s not that …” he trails off, probably realizing that it is that late

“have you already eaten?” chan asks

jisung shakes his head, not meeting chan’s eyes

chan reaches out and takes jisung’s hands. he pulls one of them up so he can kiss jisung’s knuckles

jisung sniffles

and then tears start spilling out

chan wipes them away

“hey, hey, hey,” he coaxes, voice gentle. “what’s up, love?”

“i’m sorry,” jisung chokes, “i just want to be better”

“oh, love,” chan sighs. “you are better”

jisung looks up at chan then

his big eyes are filled with tears, and his lip is quivering, and chan just wants to protect him forever

“you’re better than you were this morning. you’re better than you were yesterday. you’re better than you were last year, better than you were when you started.” chan leans forward to kiss him on the forehead. “and tomorrow? tomorrow you’re going to be better than you are today.

“you’re always getting better, yeah? you’re always learning and i know you’re always trying your best. i know you don’t like to wait, love, but it’s okay to take your time. no one can get better all at once, anyway.”

before jisung can have the chance to cry his heart out like he wants to, chan holds him tight, resting his chin on the top of jisung’s head the way he knows jisung likes

“c’mon,” chan says once they separate, “let’s go get something to eat.”

jisung walks out of the practice room first, and gives a thumbs up and a wide smile to minho

chan follows a moment later, carrying jisung’s bag

“come on, minho! my treat. jisung wants kimbap.”

chan slings an arm around minho’s shoulders as they talk out, as a thank you

minho hip-checks him, as a don’t worry about it

a rough night, maybe, but it ended alright

tl;dr: banghan are overworking idiots who only listen to each other

wbk but ok

whenever it’s chan’s or jisung’s night to cook, the other joins them

usually, this means that dinner will take twice as long because they always just distract each other, but skz doesn’t mind

(half of skz thinks they’re domestic and cute

half of skz absolutely clowns them the whole time)

but banghan don’t care!!!!

unbothered KINGS

LISTEN

if chan wants to pretend this wooden spoon is a guitar so he can serenade his boyfriend with cute love songs like fearless then!! he!! WILL!!

and if jisung wants to narrate everything chan’s doing in his announcer voice then!! he!! WILL!!

they’re dumb and they’re in love!!! and it’s great!!!

when seungmin’s blasting day6 in his room and chan and jisung can hear it in the living room?

u BET they’re gonna dance to it!

they sing chocolate at each other and jump around and mimic each other’s silliest dance moves and laugh until their stomachs hurt

sometimes jisung freestyles to chan

chan’ll be sitting on the couch, jisung sprawled out with his head in chan’s lap, with chan running his fingers through jisung’s hair

jisung’ll look up at him and start freestyling

sometimes the topic is ‘i love you more than i think i’ve ever loved anyone’ and sometimes the topic is ‘i wish we could get a cat in the dorms’ and sometimes it’s ‘i really want some cheesecake rn’

no matter what it is, every time jisung finishes chan claps for him, then kisses him

they’re each other’s hypemen

whenever chan sings jisung cheers

and by that i mean

chan, singing into his closet: i don’t knooooow what i want to weeeaaar todayyyyyyyyy

jisung, grabbing his lightstick: CB97! CB97! CB97!

whenever jisung looks like a Hot Mess™ chan calls him a model

jisung, stumbling into the kitchen at one pm in his pjs, hair messy, still half asleep: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

chan, pulling out his phone to take pictures and pretending to be the paparazzi: j.one! j.one, over here! how does it feel to be the visual of the century?

we love one (1) supportive couple

chan: damb ,,,,, that movie was scary! :~(

jisung, breathing all heavy like he does in d9: i’ll protect you!

when they get ready to go on stage ,,,, oh boy

p o w e r c o u p l e

like ,,,,,,,,,, their combined stage presence ?

oof

they play off each other’s flow and energy so well

jisung is playful and chan is forceful and they shouldn’t match this perfectly but they do

all other couples found jobless!

their stage chemistry is, like, unmatched

homeboys r gonna, like, get it
