8 Eyes for You

2- I'm Gay??

I came back before curfew. If I past curfew, I might not be able to come into the dorms. 

I sigh. After hanging out with Ken again, things just got crazy and I had to leave early. 

I spot Hidemi on his bed, earbuds in his ears and watching something on his laptop. He looks at  me and close the laptop. Taking the earbuds, he places it on his pillow. "Welcome back, dub."

Dub??

"Thanks..." I looked down and take off my shoes. "Nothing really changed." 

Nothing did change, the room looked exactly the same. I noticed boxes by the door but they were all empty.

"I put some of my things in my closet. I can be a slob so I'll clean up my mess." Hidemi chuckles. "You smell like alcohol, did you drink?" He questions me and starts to climb down the ladder.

I shook my head and sigh as I took off my jacket. "My friend drinks a lot so I usually go out with him to just hang out."

"No drinking?"

"No drinking." I answered. 

Hidemi placed his laptop on the empty desk. "Don't drink, it's bad for ages like us." Hidemi chuckles. "Who's this friend of yours?"

"His name is Ken, he's done with college but...he still likes to hang around with students..." I groaned and took off my socks. I placed it in my laundry basket. 

"Does he drink a lot??" Hidemi asks. His back was turned and facing me. 

"Only when I hang out with him." I answered. I stopped. 

THAT'S FUCKING RIGHT!! EVERY TIME I HANG OUT WITH HIM, HE ALWAYS DRINKS!!! AND WHEN I SEE HIM, HE IS SOBER AS HELL!!

"Oh my god..." I groaned.

"Huh? What's up?" Hidemi worries. 

"I just realized something so dumb..." I covered my face. No, not embarrassment but disappointment in myself for not even noticing it. 

Hidemi chuckles softly, "If you're going to bed now, you should go brush your teeth first, I want to shower."

I nod.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By morning, I was awoken by Hidemi's KPOP song. 

"Yo, dub!" Hidemi was speaking english. "Get up, you need to go now."

"What??" I covered my face with the covers. "No no no....go away, umma..."

"Umma???" Hidemi kneels down. "Hyun Oh, I'm not your umma."

My eyes opened. What. Did. I. FUCKING. DO?!

After awhile...

"I'm sorry for calling in mom..." I bowed down. 

Hidemi laughs at me. "Dude, it's fine." He lightly punches my shoulder. "You're already dress, my little boy is growing up!" 

"Hey!" I pout.

"Hahaha! Oh my god, man!" He squats and starts to laugh his ass off. 

Not cool. Not cool......

I put my shoes on and start to walk out. 

"Hey! Wait for me!" He locks the door and comes running after me. "Let's just walk there."

"Walk to campus ground?" I shook my head. "I don't want to be late."

"I don't go to class until 9:05, how about you?" He shows me his schedule.
