what about dubchaeng trying to make it known that theyre dating but the girls keep thinking theyre just bros?
oh do u mean, the truly excellent reverse fake dating au where they’re dating the whole time and no one believes them ahhhh chef’s kisses. mwah anon, love ur mind.
they’re filming a music video and are in between breaks. the girls are sprawled in various positions around the room. tzuyu is sitting cross-legged in a chair struggling to keep her eyes open with mina next to her poking her awake every few minutes or so, the biggest smile on her face; and sana and momo are cuddled together in a puppy pile.
nayeon watches on fondly as dahyun wraps a blanket around chaeyoung’s shoulders, and tugs chae to herself with it, and chaeyoung smacks a kiss in dahyun’s direction. cuties. nayeon nudges at jeong and jihyo, both sitting by her sides and gestures for them to look at their maknaes. chaeyoung has now climbed into dahyun’s lap and is peppering kisses all over dahyun’s now pink cheeks.
“they’re such good friends,” jihyo says, deep affection lacing her voice. jeongyeon smiles at the sight.
“why won’t you guys let me kiss you like that,” nayeon grumbles pointedly at jeongyeon, and then whips her head to also give jihyo an ineffective scowl.
they just both stare at their eldest unamused, smiles wiped off their faces.
theyre backstage at an awards show, coming off a high from performing. dahyun and chaeyoung are in a corner, sharing a waterbottle and a bowl of noodles between themselves.
“you did so well, baby, im so proud of you!” mina hears dahyun tell chaeyoung, the latter now hiding behind her noodles. mina scrunches her nose up, trying not to smile at how adorable her members were being.
“when you did your rap, i think my heart actually fluttered,” mina hears dahyun murmur, pride clear in her voice. it was so like dahyun to praise chaeyoung like that, they’re such good friends, mina thinks happily chewing on her own noodles. she watches chaeyoung shyly accept a kiss on the corner of her mouth. dahyun swipes her thumb over chaeyoung’s lower lip. mina hears sana next to her mutter to momo about how chaeyoung always runs away from her kisses and momo elbowing a waterbottle off the table trying to dodge sana’s lips. mina shuts her eyes exasperatedly.
it’s an early sunday morning. early enough that tzuyu’s the only one awake and she’s just sitting on the couch enjoying this rare moment of silence while catching up on dramas. and then she hears a door open in the hallway and very determined chaeyoung is marching into the kitchen. tzuyu turns back to her laptop with shrug.  
tzuyu is now thoroughly distracted. she watches chae step out of their room for maybe the fourth time in thirty minutes. her eyes track the girl’s movements as she rummages around the kitchen cabinet for something and chae makes a triumphant noise when her hand emerges with a box of cold medicine. then the kettle’s on and she’s making some tea. a few minutes later chae’s rushing back to their room.
chae comes back to the kitchen and is in the middle of pouring hot water in a mug when dahyun staggers down the hallway, rubbing a sleeved arm over her face.
“dahyunnie! go back to bed!” chae says dismayed. dahyun frowns.
“want kisses,” tzuyu hears dahyun sniffle miserably. theres a smacking noise and a satisfied hum, “if i go to bed will i get more kisses?” tzuyu hears dahyun ask. chaeyoung mustve agreed because dahyun is shuffling back to their room.
a few hours later jeongyeon makes an offhanded comment about how dahyun only lets chae fuss over her. mina later adding how chaeyoung is usually at the other end of the room when someones sick except when it comes dahyun.
(chaeyoung is sick three days later).
momo and sana are sitting behind dahyun and chaeyoung in the van on the way back from a recording. dahyuns fallen asleep with her head leaning against the window. sana’s heart does a little flip when she notices that chaeyoungs got a hand between dahyun’s temple and the window. god these two, sana thinks with a warm smile. sana tries not to scowl when she realises that momo’s finished her bag of chips and is looking longingly at sana’s.
sana watches chae gazing at dahyun with stars in her eyes as if dahyun is her entire world. sana sighs wistfully. imagine having a friend like that. (and not one that steals your drink while she polishes off your bag of chips). momo tugs the blanket so it’s covering both sana’s knees.
nayeon runs screaming from the maknae room, hands over her eyes with jihyo hot on her heels. both of them looking equal parts scandalised and surprised. jeongyeon looks over at them unamused.
“just ask dahyun to get the bug, cowards,” jeong tells them. nayeon and jihyo give her identical annoyed scowls.
“we just saw dahyun and chaeyoung kissing!”
the rest of the members, save for nahyo, just go back to whatever they were doing.
“did yall hear us?” nayeon tries again. “dahyun. and. chaeyoung. were. kissing. k i s s i n g!”
“yeah and?” momo says, “theyre always kissing.”
mina and sana nodded their agreement. tzuyu shrugs hers too.
“no you don’t understand. they were like. kissing kissing,” jihyo tells them impatiently and then lowers her voice, “like on the mouth.”
“we’re always kissing though, what do you mean?” chaeyoung cuts in, dahyun next to her, head tilted staring at nayeon and jihyo.
“yeah but you were kissing-”
“on the mouth” nayeon cuts jihyo off. jihyos too shookt to care about being interrupted.
dahyun and chaeyoung share another confused look.
“um, yeah. we’re dating,” dahyun tells them, “we have been. like for awhile now.”
at this, all the members start sputtering.
“what” “who” “when” “oh my god- dating?!” “stop playin” “youre serious”
“i mean, we’ve always? been kind of dating?” chaeyoung says tapping her chin thoughtfully, “but officially? it’s been like, just over a year now.”
“a year!”
the room goes quiet as everyone goes over the situation, with varying levels of scepticism. tzuyu and mina glance at each other, realisation washing over them like ice. and then tzuyu pulls a disgusted face.
“you better not do anything… gross when im in the room,” tzuyu says suddenly.
a few hours later, nahyo are still kind of muttering to themselves in disbelief. dubchaeng are sitting together, looking at each other with the dumbest smiles and the rest of their members are just like, smh how did we not see this.
