FALSE COLORS || Yeonkai ||

CHAPTER 23

The next morning goes smoothly, quite unexpected if you asked Yeonjun. He thought much like they did before, they would start avoiding each other but Kai has been the same, making small talk here and there and small smiles when they met each other's eyes. 

It was safe to say Yeonjun was enthralled to go back to the same routine. He hated those sleepless nights, those cold silences and the glares. However if possible, Kai had gone back to not ignore him but in even more force and being more touchy for some reason. 

It's like he has been putting more effort to make up for the ignoring earlier, had he spewed something while he was drunk? Yeonjun has no idea, but it sure is becoming hard for Yeonjun's heart to not palpitate.

For instance,

"Yeonjun, could you move" He had said, and the blue haired male did as told, he moved to the side with the brush hanging from his mouth, and Kai stood next to him, helping himself a scoop of toothpaste and stood unnecessarily close to Yeonjun even if there was a lot of empty space beside him to maintain a respectful distance.

 Yeonjun panicked and brushed his teeth a little harder, wincing when his gums cried to stop from the pain, with huge steps he was out of the bathroom, a hand on his heart and deep breaths to calm his racing heart. He couldn't handle Kai that close while the little vixen shows those bedroom eyes which blows his mind every time.

If that would have stopped there, then Yeonjun wouldn't have embarrassed himself, but Kai obviously never agreed with him. The next minute, a soft pair of lips landed on his cheek whispering a little good morning which came nothing but suggestive and Yeonjun flushed red with his lip being abused by his own teeth until they bled. 

Oh and for the record, Kai had already walked away and Yeonjun was still frozen with the towel in his hand. As if this much wasn't enough, Kai had again turned back and walked closer to him and gently removes the bleeding lip with a cute frown, "Don't do that, you will hurt yourself baby" The darn nickname.

haha, what is breathing? Yeonjun fucking doesn't know when every damn ticking minute wants him to combust. It's a cruel cruel world and Kai is the demon who rules this world. 

Or, After they had finished their breakfast, they sat down for a while waiting for the announcement of second last game to decide the finalists and Yeonjun desperately hopes it isn't like the first game where he and Kai had almost died, even though he is sure they would have been saved before that, it still terrifies him. 

How easily he was willing to die with Kai and the other was willing to sacrifice himself to save Yeonjun.

This train of thought is however broken by Kai who leisurely drapes himself over Yeonjun, head resting on his chest and settles himself between Yeonjun's legs. The boy is on the last strand of patience and self restraint when Kai moves a little. 

"Kai" He grits out by the vixen looks at him with large innocent eyes that has him almost forgetting the purpose on why he called the other's name. Almost. 

"You can sit on the couch, we have a lot a lot of place anyway" Yeonjun groans but Kai just looks at him with those bedroom eyes  again and Yeonjun is pretty sure that the blonde knows it makes him weak in the knees.

"But hyung, I wanna be with you" He whines and pouts, wrapping himself around Yeonjun like a cat. He just groans and lets him be, because Yeonjun has literally no energy to deal with all this.

 Thankfully the man with the suit comes up with the announcement of the next game, and for once Yeonjun is happy to see him. Kai with a reluctant pout untangles himself from the elder and even if he feels a little cold missing the warmth after, at least his heart has calmed down. 

The man says the same thing, to check the rule book again with the same robotic voice and honestly Yeonjun is getting a little sick of it. Even if he would never admit it, he kinda misses the other three and their shenanigans. 

It wonderful with Kai, minus the awkward days they had but he still missed the chaos and daily banter with free pizzas and booze. 

Huening Kai is again dangerously in his personal space again, leaning far too much into his face to read the rules and instructions for the next round. He tries to stay unbothered, but his traitorous ears turn red and yeah holy shit Yeonjun is not the one for subtlety. 

The next game it seems they have to make a small documentary in the designated sets, with the theme given to that. They have four chits in the bowl with different genre's and the couples have to draw a chit and work according to it.

Yeonjun and Kai decide that they would go third and Kai to pick the draw because he had amazing luck or that's what Kai said, Yeonjun just let him do it because he couple put the blame later on Kai, (he wouldn't actually do that, cause he is painfully whipped). 

Yeonjun waits with bated breath as the blonde calmly twirls his hand in for a few good seconds and just a second before Yeonjun can explode finally pulls the green chit out. Yeonjun huddles around the taller as he opens the chit and almost faints, "recreate your first meet" the words are printed in bold letters.

They both a share a panicked glance, they obviously couldn't get something easy like write a love letter or recreate your first date or something like that. "Luck huh? Explain this?" He hisses in Kai's ear once they get off the stage to let the last couple to pick the chit. "In my defense, there were only two chits in here and there wasn't much I could change." He whispers back aggressively.

 Yeonjun only rolls his eyes discreetly and glares at him. They are given until the next day's night for the presentation but on the bright side, they have to only film a seven minute video. The couple behind them gets a relatively easier one, 'create a festival setting to surprise your significant other while the other one should prepare a small gift significant to the other one.'

 They have to do that without discussing, yes it is harder than their one but that's because they weren't a couple and Yeonjun was really frustated.

That was mainly because their first meeting was in high school and it was nothing short of a disaster, 

"Yeonjun, did you see the new transfer?" He is a disaster bro" His friend Hyun snickers clapping him on the back. "Hyun, don't be rude. The kid just came here, also our junior" Euntae mildly scolds but the other only rolls his eyes. Yeonjun just ignores them and watches the new kid struggle to find his class. 

He roams past their class five to six times like a headless chicken.

As expected, he is called out by the teacher to escort the boy into his own class. He walks out feeling a little high and cocky for no reason he can condemn. 

"Hey" He calls out and his voice is unnecessarily rough. "Y-yes?" The newbie looks scared and intimidated and he allows a small smug smirk to form, "so lost on the first day, let me help you" Even if he means well, his voice is still rough and the newbie gulps while nodding nervously adjusting his glasses. 

He looks adorable and Yeonjun smiles fondly but turns serious when the newbie peeks at him under his black bangs. "You name?" He asks and the boy meekly answers, "Huening Kai" He hums satisfied and purposely doesn't tell him his name, he expects the boy to ask him but the other remains quiet. 

Perhaps too intimidated to ask, he concludes. "here is your class, stick with someone and ask them direction, I won't be able to help you always. Good luck" He says with the same stone expression and Kai smiles at him, that gummy smile was literally the cutest with braces and you couldn't convince Yeonjun otherwise.

 "Thank you!" He squeals out and skips in to the class. He's an adorable baby in conclusion and Yeonjun already sees himself falling for the boy in future, except he did not expect the other stuff which would follow.
