Lingering Feelings. {Completed}. + Book 2

Chapter 7 :

Jae-Yoon stood in there, his head buzzing with all the additional information he had garnered in less than a few seconds. He was flushed and confused, saddened by the words that came out of his best friend's mouth. He wanted nothing more than to apologize to him, planting a kiss on his lips for some reason.

He facepalmed his head, thinking he must be sick or that something was wrong with him for continuing to desire the pierced man despite him literally being mad at him at this very moment.

He hesitated to leave this place and when he was about to do so, the door opened on a Sang-Hyun who was looking at him with an uneasy expression. The pierced man took a step ahead, leaning in closer, his head meeting his best friend's shoulder while his hands pulled Jae-Yoon's body, by his tiny waist, closer to his.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I..."

"I should be the one apologizing... Sang-Hyun... I didn't want it to come across as if I was giving myself up to you simply to keep you by my side... I...I don't know. All I know is that I genuinely want you and I guess it scares me and I wanted a reason to make it seem okay in my head, to feel that way without hating my-"

His best friend kissed his lips before he could even finish his sentence, forcing him to answer in a steaming manner. Their tongues intertwined in a feverish dance that made anyone's heart beats louder, sending shivers down the smallest one of them who was gripping the pierced man's clothes for him not to lose his balance and fall over.

"We..." Jae-Yoon stopped in his track when he realized his voice sounded raspy after delicately pushing Sang-Hyun away. "We should stop just randomly kissing." He laughed pecking the black haired man's lips.

"Hmm. You're right." He answered, licking Jae-Yoon's lips before locking them anew against his. "Totally right..."

"Sang-Hyun..." Whimpered the shortest one of them, passing his hands through his best friend's hair, pulling them to make him back out.

"Sorry but it's too addictive."

"Mmh."

Jae-Yoon who didn't realize was tiptoeing, simply stopped. He started to caress Sang-Hyun's right ear, his thoughts wandering before he finally built up the courage to ask.

"When you said you didn't like girls, did you mean you-"

Before he even questioned him, his best friend responded so quickly, shutting him down.

"Yes. I am gay. Isn't it obvious ?"

He scoffed, looking back at the situation they were in. Jae-Yoon just looked away, realizing what they had just done before continuing his interrogations in a serious note despite him feeling awkward.

"So why did you date every girl I ever liked ? Hurting me while doing so ?

"Because I was confused and didn't know where I was swinging back then. Do you want to start a fight again ?"

Sang-Hyun rushed his words then laughed but he was indeed serious so Jae-Yoon, knowing him so well, knowing that he was avoidant concerning the real reason, just looked down to his feet, feeling uneasy.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. It was more complicated than that and no, before you ask me, I can't explain to you why is that so please, no more talk about this until I am ready to fess up, alright ?"

"Mm."

Sang-Hyun words were meant to calm Jae-Yoon's nervousness but seeing how it didn't work, he just slightly kissed his lips, not too much since he had just been scolded by him about that.

"Please. Don't feel bad."

The silver haired man simply smiled, looking at him then his lips before linking their arms together, dragging him outside of this building.
