strange way of saying

Summary:

Seonghwa has a life worked out just the way he likes it. He teaches middle school science (and loves it), he hangs out with his best friends San and Wooyoung at the cafe they own, and with those two major sources of chaos in his life, he definitely prefers a nice quiet personal life.

But when he has a chance meeting with idol Hongjoong at a fansign, he can’t deny there’s a spark between them. (Wooyoung, for his part, is more than happy to encourage this spark along.) Seonghwa doesn’t need the mess of trying to date an idol - really, he doesn’t - but that doesn’t change anything about just how attractive he finds Hongjoong.

And then Hongjoong has a niece who needs some tutoring after falling behind in school. Surely Seonghwa can help Hongjoong out while keeping his commitment to a mundane life and not letting his attraction turn into anything more, right?

Notes:

a BUNCH of people looked at this at various stages of the project and gave me helpful feedback - thanks so much to aceaceaceace, missp, and arriviste

Content notes: a number of glancing references to the kinds of restrictions idols live under - dating, coming out, food
