My Best Man || 2jae

[06]

Youngjae:

I was extremely surprised when I opened the door and saw Jaebum and his blonde neighbour standing in front of me. It had been obvious that Jae would come back soon because of the kiss but why did he bring Jackson with him?

Still a bit confused, I let them both come into my house while I called out Mark's name. My brown-haired friend came out of the kitchen and looked at our guests. When Jackson saw Mark, I could swear his eyes lit up a bit.

"What does he do here?" The American said, pointing to the blonde male. "I could ask you the same." He asked back and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I'm living here, idiot." Mark answered.

I slowly got the feeling that there had happened something from which Jaebum and I didn't know. "You know each other?" Jae spoke my question out loud and the two other males looked at each other for a short moment and nodded.

"Yes, that's how you could call it." Jackson mumbled and Mark sighed heavily. "He was dating my sister. I actually liked him until he cheated on her and broke her heart." Mark explained to us.

"Now I get why Mark calls him idiot." I quietly said to myself but my roommate had heard me. "I know right. That explains a lot." He said, glaring at the man who seemed to be a bit upset now.

"You call me idiot, Tuan? You were the one who destroyed my car with a baseball bat!" Wow, I didn't expect Mark to be able to do something like this. "You deserved it, jerk." My friend fought back. Jaebum sighed.

"Ok, we get it. You dislike each other. Could you please forget about your past problems for some time so I can talk to Youngjae without you two murdering each other?" He asked both of them like they were little kids.

Mark nodded a bit. "Yes, don't worry. Just go and talk. I guess you really need to." He smiled a bit and pulled Jackson into the kitchen. I still had to admit that I was worried that they would murder each other.

But first, I trusted Mark and second, there was something more important to do right now. I grabbed the elder's hand and guided him into the living room where we sat down on the couch again, just like the day before.

"First of all, I'm not mad at you. I was a bit surprised because of the kiss but I'm not angry or anything like that." He started and I felt relieved. I looked down on my hands and thought about how I should start.

"I'm still sorry. Not exactly because I kissed you but because I kissed a taken man." I looked up to him and my eyes met his. It was completely true. I only regretted the fact that I had kissed someone who was engaged.

All in all, I didn't regret kissing Jaebum, my best friend. The kiss had felt amazing and if he was free, I wouldn't even hesitate a second and jump onto his lap to kiss him again. But of course, I would never do that.

The taller in front of me bit his lip. "So, that means you wanted to kiss me? And you liked it?" He asked and made me blush a bit. That came unexpected. Why would he want to know if I liked it?

"Yes... I liked it. I can't deny that you're an amazing kisser. Everyone would like it, I guess." I mumbled and hoped this would satisfy him for now.  But I actually knew him good enough to know it wouldn't.

He slowly came closer to me and I automatically moved back. "And why did you do it?" My best friend asked with a low, husky voice and gulped. "I don't know. I just... I just did it. There's no real reason. It was just the situation and the mood." I quietly said.

It was silent after I had finished and I could see that Jaebum was thinking about something. I didn't have the courage to move because if I would, it would bring me closer to the elder and would probably create more tension.

The mood in the room had definitely changed after he had asked me if I had liked the kiss. There was something in the air that I couldn't really explain. But I knew it was some weird kind of tension. Probably even sexual.

"Youngjae." He spoke up and I looked at him to show that I was listening. He took a deep breath and looked down into my eyes. I waited for him to say something. The elder was hesitating but then he finally said what was on his mind. "Would you kiss me again?"
