It Never Goes To Plan

Chapter 2

"Ohhhh someone's been working out for sure" Minhyuk whistled as he nodded his head, "Look how tight Professor Son's trousers are! Ki, Look!" Minhyuk teased, digging his bony elbow into Kihyun's ribs until he yelped in pain. "Stop it!" Kihyun hissed, his ears burning as he suppressed the memories of his passionate night with the professor just a few days earlier. "Min, I'm serious! I'm failing as it is, just drop it ok" Kihyun continued when a loud thud of a book hitting a wooden desk caused him to fall silent. "Something you'd like to share with everyone Yoo Kihyun?" Professor Son queried his eyebrow hitched up expectantly, as he gestured to the rest of the class. "No sir" Kihyun spluttered, his heart in his throat as Hyunwoo's dark eyes met his, "I'll see you after class" Professor Son said and cleared his throat sassily as he continued explaining the mechanics of the new producing app that was being introduced this semester.

"I'm sorry" Minhyuk said when it was finally safe for them to discuss the 'work' in groups, "It's fine" Kihyun mumbled but his face gave him away as he chewed on his lip nervously. "Did it really go that bad the other night?" Jooheon whispered and Kihyun shrugged. "Obviously, that or it went really well and Kihyun's a liar" Minhyuk teased, hiding a smirk as he chewed on his pen. "I told you nothing happened" Kihyun snapped glaring at Minhyuk until his smug smile disappeared, "It was horrifying" Kihyun whined hiding his face in the sleeves of his oversized sweater. Jooheon poked into the dip of his exposed collarbone, smiling down at him sweetly. "It can't have been that bad right?" Jooheon said, attempting and failing to hide how happy he was about the whole situation. "He accused me of trying to... well you know... to get good grades, threatened to put me on report and to call my mum and tell her how drunk I was, I had to sleep on his sofa" Kihyun sighed with a grimace as he began scribbling notes intently trying to avoid Hyunwoo's gaze, "It was horrifying" he repeated miserably.

Changkyun appeared behind the gaggle of distracted boys, plopping himself down on Jooheon's lap. "I don't understand this, help me Ki!" he whined childishly tugging on Kihyun's sleeve until he gave up trying to write. "Help with what?" Kihyun said, thankful for the distraction as Changkyun pointed to specific sections in the textbook and the other three attempted to explain. "So... staying behind after class?" Changkyun teased, sticking his tongue out playfully and latching onto Jooheon's neck as Kihyun shoved him away. "I'm sick of explaining this!" Kihyun whined, holding his head in his hands. "Hey!" Changkyun protested, "I'm not stupid I know nothing happened last time, I meant it's a good second chance" he said nonchalantly with a shrug. Kihyun felt all the colour drain from his face and his ears burn red as he stared up at his friend in shock, his eyes wide and mouth agape.

"What?" Changkyun said smiling wolfishly, "Look the guys hot, why not?" Minhyuk added. Jooheon cleared his throat awkwardly before deciding to join the others in their relentless attack on Kihyun, "You obviously have a thing for the guy" Jooheon stammered, avoiding Kihyun's eyes. Kihyun stared between them all, squinting suspiciously "Enough" he said through gritted teeth turning back to the textbook and blocking out his friends for the rest of the lesson.

The bell rung out loudly and there was a loud buzz of life as the class began to chat and move around packing up their things, Minhyuk stalked off quickly keeping his head down as he slipped out the door as inconspicuously as he could. "Hey Ki?" Jooheon said quietly and Kihyun jerked his head up suddenly, ice spreading through his chest. "Yeah?" Kihyun stammered, Jooheon's dark eyes seemed to be staring straight through his soul. "I know you said you aren't made of glass, but it's still hard to fix a broken heart... tread carefully... y'know?" Jooheon said with a shrug to hide his emotions that were written on his face. "Why would I be broken hearted?" Kihyun said, feigning ignorance as he shrugged Jooheon's concern off easily. "When you are ready to tell the truth and admit you're in love, we'll talk" Jooheon sighed as he stalked off, wrapping an arm around Changkyun as they left.
