"What?"

Ten stands up. He pats the imaginary wrinkles out of his clothes. "Johnny I..." Ten couldn't speak as Johnny dropped everything and moved away from the table.
"Johnny please wait...."

Johnny places his hands on his hips as he stands in front of the stairs. He taps his feet in utter bafflement.
"No, it's fine Ten. I get it you were burdened by a secret. It must have been too heavy for you." Johnny sounds more sarcastic than serious. But of course, he would. The American laughs in an unbelievable tone. "I should have known it was you."

Ten frowns deepen. "Hey, Johnny I won't." Ten tried to lay a soft hand on Johnny's shoulder however all he got was a fierce Johnny pushing his small frame onto the carpeted stairs.

Caught in a complete stupor, ten eyes widened. The closer Johnny edges closer to him the more he tries to move up the stairs.

"You caused everything! Everything that has ever gone wrong! I hate you!" Johnny was so angry that he didn't notice how bad the situation was until he heard hysterical cries. Johnny glares down, immediately he feels powerful.

Tears stream down Ten's face, his hands are up covering his body out of hope that Johnny would have mercy. He has never been terrified of any of his friends. He couldn't stop sniffling. He looked like a kid who was entering their second hour of tantrums.

It was pitiful. The smaller male was blocking himself from the punches that never came. He was so scared that he could piss himself.

"You are.... you..." Johnny starts to take in everything. From the way Ten was trying to protect himself with a million tears staining his puffy cheeks, to his own hands twitching with the need to break something.

Johnny punches his hand in the wall closest to ten. "Stay the hell away from me." He slides his hand out. Almost instantly when Johnny looks back at the frightened Thai boy he sees something.

Ten wasn't a bad friend, he was a good one. He told Jaehyun not to hurt Johnny but to let Jaehyun know. When he took a second to understand his anger Johnny realized that it was his fault. Ten didn't sleep with taeyong after all, he did.

"Then I'm sorry." Johnny went from being angry to suddenly being concerned. He approached Ten and he was still trying to move away from him.

"Hey Ten look I'm sor..." Johnny stopped talking. He just kneeled and pulled Ten into his embrace.

Ten shrieks, his hand flies to his back. He choked back tears as the pain shot up his spine. He wants to move away from Johnny so badly but the older one won't digress.

Johnny rubs Ten's back, not paying any attention to the place of his other hand, Johnny lays it anywhere as he tries to soothe tension on the Thai boy's back.

Ten whimpers at Johnny unconscious no touch. "I...I'm fine..."

"No. I was wrong. You don't make anything worse. You were being a good friend. I was angry because I was such a horrible husband." Johnny looks into Ten's eyes. "Just like I was a horrible boyfriend to you."

Ten tries to move back just a little. But he couldn't because Johnny still had one of his hands firmly on his spine.

The door swings open catching both of the males' attention. Kun shoots danger at Johnny. "Leave."
That's what he simply said.

Johnny gave ten a sad smile before moving. Only then did he notice where his hand was. He mouths a little sorry before escorting himself out.

"What was that?" Kun asked, referring to Johnny's hand over the Thai male's crotch area.

Kun glances around the area. Pizza four slices missing, two glasses of wine, and a candle. This was a whole day going on.

Kun was pissed, so he went to work. Work his ass off. Then when done he gets no play time. Seeing Ten's ex having a date with Ten confirms his insecurities. He hated feeling second best. The sounds that Johnny made ten feel he can make him feel too.
Johnny might have made ten stars in high school, but does he rock Ten's bed now?

Well, that wasn't enough for Kun. He walks over to ten. "Baby," he made little circles on Ten's toned thighs. "What was happening here?"

Ten looked up to him, "My manager wanted me to do a broadcast with Johnny. I told him that I told Jaehyun about him and taeyong. So he freaked out..."

Kun continued his jealous behavior. Now making his hand move close to Ten's danger zone. "Why were you making inappropriate sounds.."

"It's not like that at all. You are taking it out of context." Ten moves kun hand. "Please leave me alone now."

Alone? Alone? That's all I want. He never wants to be around Kun. He never says yes anymore. Everyone comes first, his manager, the sweethearts, and Johnny. Kun felt out of place.

Defying ten words he grabs Ten's middle area. "Why can't I make you feel good?" He slowly massages the spot over and over. "I heard this is a stress reliever."

Ten snatches kun hands away. "Stop..."

His words are cut off when Kun smashes their lips together, he is so desperate for some affection. He pushed ten back down until it was softly on the stairs. He lowers his head hovering over Ten's middle area.

Kun wasn't thinking about fucking ten, he wanted to please ten. He wanted to hear those soft and angina moans. He wanted to hear the sounds and see the things that Johnny could never do anymore.

"Kun..."

Ten voices were cut off as soon as Kun's head dived to his midsection. All ten could do was look at Kun Gravel at him like a dog did to a bone.

The Thai male allowed Kun to take control of his body on the stairs. He learned something in this moment, jealousy and neglect are a great recipe for disaster.

"Ten told Jaehyun?" Taeyong pulls the cherry blossom pop from his lips. He tilts his head. "Ten was at the party?"

Johnny chuckles on the other line. "Yes, Einstein. That's how he saw us." Johnny answers.

"Johnny, I will talk to you later." He hung up the phone with minimum warning.

The brunette was now deep In thought. It was a party, but both Johnny and him hid their identities. Not only that but the only way ten could have seen him and Johnny cheating would be if he was upstairs... but the only way to get up on the level that Johnny and him were at ten must have rented out a select time.

That means ten also had a little bit of fun that night. Taeyong didn't stress much longer he lay down on his bed.

Well, the thoughts came back. Should he do something or should he remain quiet? Yes, he chose the second option.

To tell the truth, Taeyong let it go because he needed to focus on himself. If he continues to seek revenge for every little thing, then he will never be happy.
That's what Taeyong learned, he learned to be happy.

Just then his phone rang. Slowly he picks up and answers.

"Hello?"

"It's almost time."
