(Anonymous) 2014-07-08 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)"i'm aware of it, but that's hardly the point of a music video. or do you really believe that the current super power trend is actually a good representation of real life-"
"hey, don't talk like that to my girlfriend, she made a good point," minseok interrupts.
"i'm just saying-"
"i guess we can do it your way though," lu han then says and nods.

aside from being asia's number one korean-chinese power couple, lu han, a former model who recently went into the reality tv niche and kim minseok, otherwise known as dagee in the rap world, they recently got a new addition to their family.
said addition is a little girl and slowly became the pride of the family.
the only problem is the media attention, who liked to pit their daughter and sehun and zitao's daughter against each other. no matter how great both friendships were, the press liked to make a competition out of the whole korean-chinese power couple hype. it was only a matter of time until recently reveilled byun baekhyun and zhang yixing would get thrown into this as well.
~
"i can't believe we're doing this," lu han whispers into minseok's ears. they've been sitting on a bike in front of a green-screen (because the producer's actually voted against driving on a real road where real people as well as stalkers could appear at any time) for a while now and it's getting obvious that they're growing more and more bored by the minute.
"well, let's be honest here, this whole concept was doomed from the beginning. what's the point of a music video that's based on love with the one you love if all you're allowed to do is glance into each other's eyes with hidden meanings and whatnot?" minseok replies and has to stop himself from rolling his eyes.
who's brilliant idea was it to shoot this video in one take? minseok would really like to have a word with them.
"well," lu han starts and winks before leaning in. minseok grins back and meets lu han's lips at just the right angle.
they don't even hear their direbtor's frantic shouts of 'cut!' and 'that's not part of the script. please think of the children!' and opt to make out instead.
(later, an assistant tries to cheer him up by telling him that kissing could hardly be described as a danger to children. the director almost has another breakdown.)
~
the music video turns out to be quite nice actually. it appears to be more personal in the general public's view, which makes everyone (including the director) happy.
however, there's also a significant part of the internet that likes to parody the video in question. in general neither lu han nor minseok mind this though. they make it a habit to watch the best ones on their own tv and even make sock youtube accounts to comment on the ones that they particularly like.
"i'm going to kill jongdae and chanyeol one of these days!" minseok says when he comes home one day. nothing in his voice indicates that he's angry at all though.
"can you not talk about killing when the baby's in the room though?" lu han says and looks up from where she's sitting while playing with her kid. "she doesn't need to hear this at all."
"sorry, i didn't see my little princess there," minseok says and scoops his daughter up to hold her.
(later, when their daughter is fast asleep and they are lazily cuddling on their couch, lu han comes back to the topic however.
"what have they done now?" she asks him.
"ah, good that you ask. here let me show you this," minseok gestures to his laptop and pulls up a video link.
lu han's eyes widen as minseok's latest song starts playing. but what really makes her laugh is the fact that instead of them in all their poses it's actually jongdae and chanyeol.
"was their acting always that over the top?" lu han can't help but ask in between giggles. "and since when were they so into video parodies? didn't they make one of zitao and sehun's video, too?"
"they most certainly did. this is what happens if you don't give people work. they end up like jongdae and chanyeol. maybe this is a desperate cry for the film industry to shower them with movie roles."
"or they are simply that bored," lu han replies and shrugs.
"considering kim jongdae is involved this is the more likely solution to this.")
~
it doesn't happen often that minseok and jongdae meet these days considering there very different schedules, but since jongdae is in the city now, minseok felt compelled to invite his friend over.
lu han was out filming for her show, so it was only him and his daughter. though he'd never admit it it felt a little bit lonely without the presence of a third person in the house.
"who knew you'd be this sentimental?" jongdae laughed, after he finished cooing over his friend's daughter.
"be quiet!"
"aw, look at this big softie who won't even curse in front of his daughter. will your next album be cursefree and just modern renditions of children's songs that your daughter can sing along later once she starts speaking?" jongdae says and laughs openly about his own jokes while minseok stays quiet.
"oh, by the way, i heard your video made it into the top ten list again today. good job, i guess it's all in a day's work for this korean-chinese power couple," jongdae continues with a glint in his eyes that probably doesn't mean anything good.
minseok however ignores that.
"did you have fun with chanyeol in your latest video parody where you were riding chanyeol... i mean riding a motorbike with chanyeol?" minseok asks in a low voice instead and goes back to indulging his daughter.
how could he not when she's just so adorable? maybe he should really dedicate his next album to her. jongdae does have good ideas from time to time.
jongdae however doesn't say a single word about the little jab from his friend. the red colour in his face should just speak for itself though.
~
it's about a week after minseok proposed to lu han that he finds himself on a plane to france with chanyeol.
"i can't believe you're going to get married. and in paris, too, of all places. why there? do you two have history with the city of love?" chanyeol asks and waggles his eyebrows in an obnoxious way that has minseok questioning once again how they are friends.
"i heard you and jongdae had a lot of history on a motorbike," minseok dryly replies.
chanyeol almost spits out the juice he was drinking and very visibly pales.
"what has that got to do with anything?" he asks.
"nothing i was just making a completely unrelated observation, nothing more nothing less. there's really no need for this overreaction."
"overreaction? who is overreacting? not me! definitely not me!"
"hm... okay, very suspicious. but to answer your original question, why is it any of your business where i marry my girlfriend?"
chanyeol doesn't answer and opts to angrily stab his salad instead. minseok has to chuckle a little.
"you know, if you actually think anyone of our close friends has any problem with you and jongdae dating you are wrong. at most we find it hilarious that you used to be really competitive about outperforming the other. and now that you're apparently dating you still do it, too. that's kind of adorable in my opinion."
"thank you, minseok. that was really nice of you to say! i guess we can't really hide anything from you, huh?" chanyeol answers with a smile on his face.
"just from me? everyone knows about you two in our group of friends."
"oh."
