PLAYBOY - Kihyuk

18 ~ Play Me

Kihyun POV

My heart beats so fast as I close the door behind me. That last kiss was... something.

I pick up my phone after receiving a text. It's Wonho.

'Hi Kihyun! If you're not busy, how about the three of us meet up today?'

I throw an eye on Minhyuks door before texting back. 'Sounds great. What time?'

'Can you be here in one hour? :)'

'Alright. I'll get ready. See you soon! :)'

Yoongi observes me as I walk inside our room. "Didn't you get banned...?"

"No, you got me banned", I remark. "And long story short, we got back in. And I won against Taemin like I told you I would!"

Yoongi just sighs. "You are so hopeless. I would kick you out, but you'd just find your way right back in, wouldn't you?"

"I'm about to leave anyway", I state. "I'm taking your car."

Yoongi sighs again. "Don't crash it."

"No promises."

Minhyuk POV

Kihyun is leaving. He's leaving this place. I mean, it was just a matter of time, right? He can't live here forever. I just didn't want this to end so soon. We had fun...

I quickly stand up as the door is opened. "Kihyun!", I exclaim before I realize.

It's not him.

"Kihyun?", Jooheon repeats. "He just left somewhere."

"Where?", I ask. "Where is he going?"

"I don't know?", Jooheon responds, giving me a confused look. "Why do you care? You like him or something? Thought you said you were rivals."

"Of course not!", I answer. "I simply want to know. I... uhh... like knowing where everybody is."

Jooheon sighs. "I've known you for quite a while, Minhyuk, and that is by far the worst lie you've ever told. Even worse than this whole 'I'm gonna shoot you' bullshit."

I don't know if my face goes red because of embarrassment, the fact that he believes I could ever love Kihyun or just from the anger that boils up inside me at his words.

"SHUT UP!!", I yell at him.

"Okay, okay", Jooheon says. "Calm down."

"I don't like him", I state. "I just like playing with him. Totally different things."

"Yeah... totally."

Kihyun POV

Hyungwon opens the door shortly after I rang the doorbell. "Hello Kihyun!"

"Hi Wonnie", I say, a little awkwardly.

"Come inside, Ki!", Wonho calls from the living room. The living room, where we kissed. But of course, neither of us mentions that.

Me and Hyungwon sits down next to Wonho who gives Hyungwon a quick kiss.
Which causes me to remember, I have been kissed seven times today. I have been kissed eight times by Lee Minhyuk, just this day.

"Kihyun?"

Wonhos voice wakes me from my thoughts, making me realize I've probably been lost for a couple seconds. "What?"

"Hyungwon just asked you", Wonho starts. "Is there anyone you like?"

Minhyuk.

Wait, no...

"You're blushing", Hyungwon points out. "Who is it?"

"His name is Min...", I start, realizing they both probably knows who Minhyuk is and being associated with a gambler might not be the best idea if I want to keep up with my lies. "...ho. Minho! But I don't like him, he's just really annoying. I mean, we did kiss a couple times, but just because of ga... dares!"

"...Sounds to me like you have a crush", Hyungwon mentions. Wonho nods.

"I do not!", I deny. "Even if I like kissing him... Even if I think about him all the time... Even if my heartbeat increases every time he's near..."

Hyungwon sighs. "You're right, Ki. You do not have a crush on this guy. You are in love with him."

In love with Minhyuk? In love with Lee Minhyuk, the famous gambler I hated with every cell in my body just a few days ago? The famous gambler I kissed seven times today, who I shared a milkshake with, who I threw my arms around after winning?

I swallow. Oh fuck. I'm in love with Lee Minhyuk.

"Did you have a realization?", Hyungwon questions, smiling a little. "You should tell him how you feel!"

"What...? No!!"

"You should", Wonho agrees.

Hyungwon nods. "If you truly love him, you shouldn't just throw that away."

But I...

"Uhh, yeah, I should go...", I say, heading towards the door.

Minhyuk. I can't love that fucker, can I?

"I hate him", I mumble to myself as I walk towards Yoongis car. But even I know that is nothing but another lie.

Minhyuk POV

"Still looking for Kihyun?", a voice behind me asks. I turn around, sighing at Jooheon.

"Was not", I lie.

In fact, I've been looking for Kihyun ever since he left. But that's none of his business.

"Yeah, that's convincing", Jooheon responds sarcastically. "Well, you're lucky. He's right there."

I quickly look the direction he's pointing.

And he wasn't lying. Just having walked inside, there he is. Kihyun!

Kihyun POV

"Kihyun!", a familiar voice calls. "I missed you!"

Minhyuk hugs me tightly, catching me very off guard. His bright smile makes me feel warm inside.

"Where have you been?", he asks. "Don't run off like that without telling me, my little boy!"

His little boy? It should feel bad. Even if he's just teasing. But it doesn't. I'm his.

"Something wrong, Kihyun?", Minhyuk asks. "You're not yelling insults at m-"

I kiss him before he can finish.

He catches his breath after I pull away and smiles at me. "Wow... What was that for?"

"Don't know", I mumble as answer.

Minhyuk runs his fingers through my hair. "Cutie. Can I have another?"

Fuck. My heart is beating so fast. Why is my heart beating so fast? I love him. Do I love him? What if Hyungwonho is right?

"Uh, Minhyuk", I start nervously.

He looks deeply into my eyes. "Hm?"

"I..."

"You what?", Minhyuk asks. "You wanna gamble?"

I shake my head, grabbing his hand.
"I love you."

The silence isn't longer than a couple seconds, maybe a minute, but it feels like hours to me.

"Kihyun", Minhyuk begins. "You do know that I am only teasing you, right?"

"What do you mean...?"

"Don't you get it, little boy? You're only a way to keep me entertained. I don't love you."
