Nine.

"This is my close friend, Jin-hyung," Ken introduced to Ravi.

Jin punched his shoulder lightly. "Skip to formalities, Jaehwanie."

Ken laughed and put his hands up, as if surrendering. Jin laughed and pat his head.

"And this is Ravi. He followed me today and we're starving now. Anything special on the menu today, Mister Worldwide Handsome?", Ken mused and caused Ravi's stomach to sink. Mister Worldwide Handsome?

Jin chuckled and told them the menu. Within a few minutes, Jin had taken down their order and left the two alone again. Ken continued smiling, oblivious to Ravi's jealousy. The younger gulped down the wine vigorously and only then did Ken notice his dongsaeng's weird behaviour.

"Yah, that's quite strong. Drink it slowly," Ken warned and attempted to remove the glass out of Ravi's hand.

The younger one sulked and sat in silence until the food came. Ravi didn't like it one bit. Every time Jin came over to serve them food, Ken would involuntarily break into a wide smile and share a joke or two. Wasn't it supposed to be their dinner time?

Ravi went on drinking the wine and disregarded Ken's warning. By the time they had finished, Ravi had became a stumbling mess and Ken had trouble stabilising the younger. Ken sighed in annoyance as he tried to bring them to the car.

"Ravi! Stop walking in that direction!", Ken huffed and pulled Ravi up. "Why did you drink so much?"

Ravi stopped in his tracks and looked up at Ken. "Why? Why?!"

Ken got shocked by Ravi's sudden outburst and removed his hands from Ravi.

"I wanted to spend time with you ah!", Ravi hiccuped and slurred his words.

He continued. "But all you did was s-smile and laugh with that stupid waiter!"

"Jin-hyung?", Ken asked and tried to stop himself from smiling.

Ken probed Ravi even further. "What's wrong with talking to him?"

"You should've been talking t-to me!"

Ravi pointed a finger towards Ken's direction and cursed under his breath. Ken giggled and shooked his head.

"Why should I have been talking to you, hm?"

"Because I wanted to s-spend more time with you!"

"Oh yeah? Why's that?"

"Because I like you, you idiot! I've been liking you since forever but you acted as if I wasn't there just now! Oblivious motherfucker. "

Ken grew quiet and held his breath, thinking of how to respond. Ravi was seriously drunk and talking nonsensically. Or was he? After all, drunken words are sober thoughts. Ken didn't have any time to respond when Ravi threw himself foward and hugged Ken tightly.

"I like you a lot, Ken-hyung. So much, so much...", Ravi rambled on and slowly dropped to his feet.

Ken heaved a loud sigh and continued to carry Ravi to his car. Ravi was already asleep by the time he'd strapped the seat belt for him. Ken took out his phone and searched for Hakyeon's number.

"N-hyung? Do you know where Ravi lives?"

"Yeah, why?"

Ken explained the situation to N. The elder thought for a while before suggesting that Ravi should stay with Ken for the night. Ken could feel his cheeks blush. Stay the night?

"Just do as I say okay? Ravi will thank you tomorrow. Also, tell him Butt is with me," N said as he hung up on Ken.

Luckily for them, Ken's apartment wasn't too far away from where they had dinner. They reached the place soon and Ken wasted no time, carrying Ravi onto his bed. Ken proceeded to remove Ravi's shirt and helped him change into a clean one. In the midst of it, Ken couldn't help but stare in awe at the sight of Ravi's chest. The younger was toned and had abs that complimented Ravi's figure really well.

Ken traced the outline of Ravi's collarbone and the younger one immediately stirred up. He wore the shirt over Ravi and moved his hands away. As Ravi drifted back to sleep, Ken covered him with a blanket and ensured that Ravi was comfortable. Ken then went to the small couch in his bedroom, which was opposite the bed.

Ravi confessed to me

I didn't expect it at all

But he was drunk. Does that count?

•

As Ken sent out the messages, he heard a faint ring coming from Ravi's direction. It wasn't the first time it had happened and Ken's suspicion only rose.

•

Keken-04
You awake?

•

Ding! There it was again. Ken walked foward and searched Ravi's pocket for his phone. When he did, he turned on the screen and saw that the messages he had been sending on Ravi's phone screen. Ken stepped back for a bit, a little bit of shocked and disappointed to find out that this friend he had turned out to be Ravi all this while.

I was thinking of doing angst for this fic actually but I don't know for sure. Fluff or angst?
