Underneath Your Clothes is My Territory

chapter 3

Kyungsoo lifelessly lay on the couch. Staring at the ceiling, his face was as pale as ghost. Too many things occured in a swift moment his brain could not properly digest what was happening. A full long minute of contemplation was needed to regain his consciousness back. Pitiful mumbles fell through his lips, breaking the silence of Do's living room. "What have I done?" He murmured forlonly after he came to his senses.

"Ohmygod...Ohmaygod...Ohmygod..." The boy mumbled continuously like a chant, his palms were smacking his cheeks as a self-punishment. He couldn't believe he could be that stupid.  After a while Kyungsoo stopped torturing his reddened cheeks (because it was kind of hurt). His mouth opened, pupils dilated in horror.

"Lu-Luhan!"

Kyungsoo at last realized what had caused him to get into trouble initially, and his concern for Luhan overcame his shocking state. Looking around, Kyungsoo searched for his phone in panic, which he found under his butt (Kyungsoo accidentally sat on it). Grunting, he quickly pulled out his phone and tapped his bestfriend's number. To his relieve, Luhan answered his call right away.

"Sup Soo..?"

"OMGLuimsorryihavecausedyoutroubleidon'tmeantoruinyourrelat-"

"Whoah whoah hold on, I don't understand like, at all. What's the matter, baby?" Luhan cut Kyungsoo's rant, his voice were dripped with concern.

"I...I..I'm sorry Lu." Hearing his bestfriend's soothing voice, Kyungsoo couldn't hold his sadness. He sniffled. "Kai said... I ruin.. your relationship... with Sehun," he stuttered between sad sobs. "I'm your thirdwheel!" He burst in tears.

"He's what??" Luhan roared in anger. "What the hell! It's a lie!"

"B-but Kai said Sehun..."

"Sehun doesn't mind at all, Soo! How many times do I need to tell you?" Luhan screamed. He went on in a softer tone when he heard a surprise gasp. "Sehun cares about you too, you know? He told me that he's so relieved I got a good friend like you, so we can take care of each other." Suddenly something occurred in Luhan's mind. "Wait. Why would Kai say something like that, you didn't do anything stupid, do you?" Luhan asked in suspicion.

The answer came in a weak tone. "Maybe I might probably perhaps possibly have agreed to be his boyfriend because he said that me being in a relationship can help your..."

"YOU DO WHAT??!! HASKWIEMOCBEUCWN!!!"

Luhan's next rambles couldn't be clearly heard, as the furious male was talking really loud and fast (and maybe because Luhan was yelling at Kyungsoo probably not in Korean, most likely in angry Cantonese dialect.)

Kyungsoo flinched in fear, holding the phone off of his poor ear. He would have many things to explain tomorrow.

It was  a new (not so bright) day. Kyungsoo dragged his petite body to the kitchen lifelessly. Suddenly he lost his appetite. To think that he would face an angry Luhan made him feel hesitate to have his class today. Sehun would pick him up soon, and thus a deer in wrath was in his way.

"Morning baby. Why do you look so gloom today?"

"Nothing mom, I just have a lot of assignments recently." Kyungsoo gave his mother a weak reassurance smile.

"Don't push yourself too hard, okay?" Smiling, Mrs. Do patted her only child's head.

"I know, mom."

Their doorbell rang. It was odd. They rarely had any visitor in the morning. His father was still on his business trip he wouldn't come back until next month. It could not be Sehun, because Oh Sehun never had the courtesy to ring a doorbell.
