PLAYBOY - Kihyuk

23 ~ Coin

"So, are you going to sleep, little boy?", Minhyuk asks me, a while after Jooheon left with Changkyun. "Because I'm staying up. Going downstairs to gamble, wanna come?"

"I'm not gambling", I state. "I told you, I'm quitting!"

"Not even with me?"

I sigh. "No, Minhyuk. Not even with you."

Minhyuk looks disappointed. "Oh well. Lets see how long that will last. Are you staying here?"

"No, I'll come with you", I answer. "I just won't gamble. I just... need a drink."

I'm not gonna have a drink. Hyungwon works in the bar after all.
Truth is, I'm worried about Minhyuk. Although unlike Jooheon and Changkyun, I don't wanna make him stay in his room all day. What's the point in that?
But I need to keep an eye out for him since he's obviously not being careful himself.

"Alright", Minhyuk responds, smiling. "Let me know if you change your mind!"

"I won't."

Minhyuk laughs, getting a hold of my hand. "We'll see!"

"You don't have to hold my hand whenever we walk somewhere together...", I mumble, but Minhyuk ignores me.

I hear my phone ringing from inside before he closes the door. That might be something important. Ugh, I'll call back later.

Downstairs it feels like there are even more people than usual. Must be some sort of event going on.

"So are you sure you don't wanna play?", Minhyuk asks, looking at me.

"I'm not gambling", I state once again.

"Fine", Minhyuk sighs. "You're no fun. Guess I'll go gamble with someone else then... Or, we can make a bet.

I sigh. "What kind of bet?"

"We're both staying down here", Minhyuk begins. "I'll play with some other people and you'll just walk around, alright? And if you can make it until 11pm without gambling, you win!"

"Stop this", I respond. "I'm not making a bet with you, that would be gambling!"

"Wait, I haven't even gotten to the prizes yet!", Minhyuk insists.

I roll my eyes. "What, if I win, you'll kiss me and if you win I'll kiss you?"

"I mean, that sounds nice, but that wasn't what I was thinking!", Minhyuk answers. "You still have debts, right? To gamblers. If you win, I'll pay them all. So that you can get out of gambling more easily."

I sigh again, even if the offer is tempting. "Do I even dare to ask what you want if you win?"

Minhyuk is silent for a short moment. "You'll stay with me."

"But I have to leave", I answer. "I have to get my life together. Hyungwonho already left me. Yoongi will leave me too!"

"Make sure you win then", Minhyuk responds. "Just one last bet, okay?"
