Kiss Me Under the Stars

Chapter 32

~~~~~~~ Next Day: Eli ~~~~~~~

"Soohyun-Hyung~~ When are we going back to Japan~? >.<" Kevin whined, poking Hyung.

Soohyun rolled his eyes while he tied his cleats and replied, "I don't know Kevin. Probably soon."

Dongho puffed out his cheeks with a sigh. "I'm bored... Where's Hyomin?"

"Rehearsal," Hoon replied with a sigh. "Soohyun-Hyung, are you going to play soccer?"

"Yeah," Hyung answered with a nod. "Gikwang is waiting! I'll take me leave!"

"Bye Hyung~!" I called, waving after him as he departed. "I think I'll go out. Anybody want to go relieve stress before we go back to Tokyo?"

Kiseop stood up quickly. "Can we go to the bathhouse?"

"I want to go!" Kevin exclaimed as soon as the bathhouse was mentioned. "I need the steam. It's good for my pores," he explained, delicately patting his cheeks before looking at me for confirmation. I shrugged and then nodded. Kevin cheered and then began to go over bathhouse plans in his head.

"Maknae, do you want to come?" I asked him with a smile, ruffling his hair.

He shrugged and then replied, "It's not like I have anything else to do..."

"Fair enough," Hoon agreed, standing up from the couch as well. "You coming AJ?"

"I'm only here for a short while longer... Why not?" He nodded and stood before stretching his arms above his head with a groan. "It's hard getting old. Unlike you Eli, I can't go out for beer and chicken with bread pudding like you and Yoonji-Noona."

"Somewhat true," I laughed, shaking my head before leading the boys from the apartment.

Kevin suddenly inquired, "By the way, when ARE we going? Are we leaving super early or in the afternoon or-?"

"Please, you think we would ever be allowed to sleep in? I wish! =.=" Kiseop grumbled, interrupting him before the question was finished. "As usual, plan on leaving early... Early flights also cost less fare..."

"I personally believe that there's a fine line between costing too much and costing a decent amount," Hoon joked.

AJ nodded and then raised an eyebrow before saying, "Apparently there isn't as fine a line according to NH... Especially when we are requires travel to Japan on a monthly basis..."

Dongho groaned as I climbed into the car with a sigh. Kevin yawned sleepily after having had us lecture him. "I really don't understand why we have to back and forth so often... It's not like we really... DO anything when we're there..." he pointed out.

I shrugged and nodded slightly in agreement. "Plus, it double sucks because we don't get to be with MinWoo!" I exclaimed.

"That too!" I added frantically with a nod of consent. "Aigoo~ I really need this bathhouse time... I'm getting old~~" I complained with a whine.

Dongho rolled his eyes and teasingly asked, "Harabogee, do you have back problems?"

"Yes Maknae," I told him honestly. He raised an eyebrow and I continued, "I also have trouble sleeping at night..."

"Perhaps... Acute insomnia?" Kiseop suggested with a shrug. "Watch the politics channels. They'll put you right to sleep."

I yawned and then nodded slowly. "Did you guys hear about 'Broken Love'?" Kevin questioned from the back seat.

I nodded and then turned around in my seat before asking, "Is Junhyung rapping a song on it with Peniel like they had planned?" He shook his head and I cocked my head to one side. "But didn't they say that they were putting two extra tracks on there? Songs that members of BTOB and KREST wrote?
