Kun's Journey

Chapter 2 - Beach Party

One day, I was introduced to two trainees named Lucas and Sicheng. I was really glad that they were in the same boat as me because it would be much easier for us to communicate with each other.

If I may say so, they are both very attractive men, but in their own unique ways. Sicheng had a slim build, graceful dancing and a personality that made him appear to be very cute. Now Lucas was, how do I put this delicately... VERY HOT. Where do I even start? He's got a strong chest, abs and very strong, sharp dancing. Now I never considered myself to be bad-looking, but I literally felt ugly standing next to these two and their perfection.

Personally, I have a lot of insecurities including my voice and my weight. I figure that my I'll grow into my voice over time, but I've always struggled with my weight. I'm by no means fat, but I just don't have that flat stomach, yet alone abs, that people drool over. So I kinda just hid my body by wearing large shirts and hoodies, even when it was hot outside.

A few months later, Sicheng and Lucas planned a get-together at the beach along with the other trainees. Sounds fun, right? Well let's just say that I did not believe that my body was ready for its "beach debut", so I went wearing my swim trunks and a typical t-shirt with a hoodie on top. Everything was ok at first; we were playing volleyball and running around playing tag. But then everyone wanted to go for a swim...

Lucas
Come on Kun! The water feels great!

Sicheng
Yeah Kun! Take off that hoodie and have some fun!

I slowly begin to peel off my hoodie and drop it on my beach towel. I begin to approach the water...

Lucas
Hey man! You gotta take off your shirt too! Why would you swim with a shirt on man?

Shit. This is what is what I was hoping to avoid this entire trip. I turn around to remove my shirt, but when I turn back around, I hear nothing... Just silence. And then, laughter.

FUCKING. LAUGHTER.

Everyone was pointing at me and I began to scramble to find my shirt until I heard the unexpected. And it was Lucas' voice...

Lucas
Hey look everyone! It's fat Kun!

What? Was he serious? I'm not fat.

I'M. NOT. FUCKING. FAT.

Honestly, I'm not totally sure what happened next, but apparently I grabbed a bottled soda from our cooler, ran up to Lucas and smashed the bottle over his head. I remember coming back from my rage when I heard the collective gasps of the others and Lucas' eyes wide with terror.

That's when it hit me. I just hurt my friend...

But he hurt me first.

He deserved it.
