Main methods of a stage kiss

Jihoon sat on his bed in his room. It was currently eight in the night and Jihoon had one thing on his mind and one thing only, which was his theater class. He hated theater, but he had to take it. For some reason, his university had made it a requirement to take at least one elective in order for him to be able to graduate. Thus, he was stuck with theater. He sighed as he looked up at the ceiling. He to preform a play pretty soon and he wanted to make sure he got everything right. He was a perfectionist, so naturally he wanted his performance to be flawless. There was only one problem: his script. He turned to his side as he eyed the sheets of paper that held his lines. He had already memorized the lines back to back, so the memorization part wasn’t the problem. It was what he had to act out. He had to kiss his fellow classmate for a part of the play. And there was the problem. The kissing part. How was Jihoon supposed to kiss his costar if he had never even kissed anyone in his entire life. It was embarrassing. He didn’t know how he was going to survive the humiliation if he ended up being such a bad kisser.

He groaned as he picked up his script and reread his lines. His play was quite simple. A high school romance between two very different boys who in the end sorted out their differences and fall in love. Pretty simple. Well, it would have been, were it not for the kissing scene. He groaned again as he thought about it. How was he going to learn to kiss in a short amount of time? He’d probably get all flustered and embarrass the whole theater department.

‘Stupid theater’ thought Jihoon as he heard a knock on the door. He wallowed in his self pity for a few seconds before he shuffled his feet over to the door and opened it.

“Jihoonie!” said a loud voice as Jihoon was instantly pulled into a tight embrace.

“Ah Cheol, let go” said Jihoon. He stayed still for a while. He couldn’t help but enjoy the warmth that was Seungcheol’s body.

“Are you ready?” asked Seungcheol as he pulled away from Jihoon. Jihoon stayed silent for a few seconds before he realized what Seungcheol was talking about. ‘Shit’ he thought. He had forgotten about Soonyoung’s little get together today.

“Oh shit, I completely forgot. I don’t even think I can go,” he said as he turned back inside his dorm, leaving the door open for Seungcheol to come inside.

“You’re not gonna go? You were gonna be my date” joked Seungcheol as Jihoon’s heart skipped a beat. If only Seungcheol knew what he did to him. He composed himself as he went back to wallowing and threw himself on his bed.

“Well, I’m not going to go, so you’re just gonna have to find someone else,” replied Jihoon. Seungcheol sat in Jihoon’s desk chair as he tilted his head in question.

“Why not,” he asked.

“I’ve got to prepare for my lines.”

“Didn’t you already memorize them? I thought you said you did?” he pressed on. Jihoon really didn’t want to tell him the actual reason.

“Well… I don’t have them down yet...” he lied as he avoided the older’s eyes.

Seungcheol narrowed his eyes at him in suspicion. “Oh, really?” he questioned as he looked at Jihoon.
