Chapter 13: Vindicate

Junhoe opened his eyes and his gaze met the white ceiling. He felt like having no sleep at all. He slowly raised his left hand and his fingers gently brushed his lips. His heart fluttered as the memory of last night came to his mind. His temperature suddenly went up and his face felt warm. He could still feel Jinhwan's soft and wet lips on his. It made him bit his lower lip. His hand grabbed the pillow next to him and cover it to his face. It's too early for him to feel these kinds of emotions. Though, the smile didn't leave his face even under his pillow, he helped himself up.

He shook his head and made a straight face, only to find himself smiling again. He cleared his throat to stop his lips to curve upward. He looked like an idiot now smiling over little thing that happened last night.

It was just because of the dare, Junhoe. Get hold of yourself. He reminded himself in his thought.

His right hand then touched his chest.

"But this thing couldn't stop from beating so fast." He softly said.

After calming his heart, he decided to go out the room. Silence was the only thing that welcomed him. Yunhyeong probably went home already since it's Saturday and they have no class.

He also thought that Jinhwan must be sleeping still because he's also a little drunk last night. They had a blast, that was for sure. After the kissing game, they still went for another round of drinking game which ended up in butt spanking again. They lost count of the beers they had drank. Hanbin was wasted and almost Yunhyeong too. The three of them took care of the two guys when they finished their drinks.

He opened a cup of ramen from their food cabinet and put hot water in it. While waiting, he was playing with his chopsticks and his mind wandered back to last night again. Aish. The little voice in his head scolded him. He finished his ramen and planned to go to the lawn at the back of their dorm where they usually hang out to divert his thought.

Since there were not a lot of students at the moment, he spread the blanket on the grass and put his things down. He got his big notebook, and his pencil case. It wasn't that hot too and he settled in a more shady area. He started to write poems and draw some sketches. He got absorbed by his thing immediately. His thoughts now are nowhere thinking about the kiss last night. He planked on the blanket and let his arms support his upper body from the ground while writing and drawing. He sometimes would wiggle his feet in the air like a child enjoying his coloring book.

Jinhwan woke up in an empty dorm. His two friends weren't in the house. He knew Yunhyeong already went home since it's his weekend schedule. But, he was wondering where Junhoe was. Though, he's a little relieved when he didn't see Junhoe around. After what happened last night, he was afraid he would act awkward again and wouldn't know what to do. He went to the kitchen and he smelled someone ate ramen, so he it must be Junhoe. His best friend loves to eat ramen all the time.

He also craved for ramen and decided to have one. After eating, he decided to take a shower to refresh himself. The water was dropping at him as he just stood there. The memory of last night came back to his thought again as well. His hand unconsciously reached for his lips. His lips slowly formed a smile and his heart fluttered too.

"I shouldn't feel this if I really don't like him, right?" He asked himself.

"You shouldn't be like this if I don't like him...more than just a friend." He said while rubbing his chest. It was pounding hard again that made his breathing slowed down.

He raised his head up to meet the splashing water with his face. He brushed his hair using his hand before looking down again. He finished off his shower and went straight to the mirror. He wiped the foggy mirror using his hand and his eyes locked in his reflection.
