In love with the way you lie

Chapter 8: Secrets can't be told

-Next morning-

When Jinyoung first woke up, he found his hands were being tied together and he didn't recognize the room he was in. He started to panic. Why was he here? Was he being kidnapped??  Someone came into the room. Jinyoung exhaled, "Jaebum??? What are you doing here?" Jaebum grunted and replied that this was his house. Great so Jinyoung knew that he wasn't being kidnapped. "Did you tie me up?" Jinyoung lifted his tied hands and Jaebum got the signal to untie them. "Sorry, I had no choice..." Jinyoung was confused, "What do you mean? And you...you changed my clothes?" Jinyoung realized he was no longer wearing those uncomfortable pants. 

-Flashback to last night-

"Jinyoung stop, get off me..." Jaebum's patience was running thin and Jinyoung refused to move. Jinyoung's hands kept wandering everywhere and every touch was burning him. Jinyoung hums and slaps his hands aside. Eyeing the disgruntled look on Jaebum's face, Jinyoung giggled and attached his lips to Jaebum's. Jaebum pulled away and looking at his doe eyes, he whispered into his ear, "Don't regret this" Jaebum gripped onto his nape and this time, he tilted his head and went in for a deeper kiss. Sounds of moans filled Jaebum's ears and all he could think of was how soft Jinyoung's lips were. But just when the kiss was getting too heated, Jaebum's phone rang. He decided to ignore it but Jinyoung was distracted by the sound. His swift fingers had dug out his phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button. Jaebum saw that the caller ID was Mark. He quickly grabbed his phone and placed it against his ear. He signalled Jinyoung to shut his mouth. Jinyoung pouted and reluctantly obeyed. "Jaebum! Where are you guys? When I went back to the club they told me you guys left...is Jinyoung safe?"  Jaebum stole a quick look at Jinyoung and said he told Mark not to worry"Yea you don't need to worry about him" Mark heaved a sigh of relief at the other end, "Thank you Jaebum"  Jaebum then ended the call. Jinyoung was happy that the call ended and went back to him. Jaebum thought if he knew it was Mark who he was talking to, he won't even be interested. Jaebum felt anger arise in him at the thought of Mark getting his way once again. And Jinyoung likes Mark. He really shouldn't be doing this. "Go away..." Jaebum pushed him away with more strength than necessary and Jinyoung fell off the sofa. His body hit the ground with a loud thud and Jaebum almost regretted exerting too much force. Jinyoung rubbed his wrist and glared at him. "Jerk, you don't need to push me" Jinyoung winced at the pain and slowly sat up.  "Here's your payback!" He threw a book lying on the floor and surprisingly Jinyoung's aim was quite good considering that he was drunk. A pillow soon followed. "You can't keep throwing things at me!" "Sure I can, not until you apologise" Drunk Jinyoung was unstoppable and he meant what he said. Jaebum dodged the items and decided to find something to tie up his hands. He left the living room. Soon he came back with a rope and tied Jinyoung's hands together. Jinyoung started to thrash around but soon succumbed to exhaustion. When Jaebum saw that he fell asleep on the floor, he was going to place him on the sofa but decided against it as Jinyoung might roll off and hurt himself. He picked him up and carried him to his bed. Jinyoung started murmuring that his pants were uncomfortable and Jaebum sighed and helped him change out of his leather pants and into his comfy sweatpants. 

Jaebum thought that maybe this time...he made a mistake.

--------------------------

-Back to the present-

"So, you don't remember anything from last night?" Jaebum asked Jinyoung as he dialled for his ride. Jinyoung shrugged and picked up his jacket. "Not at all. All I remember was dancing with Mark, then Mark left and I got drunk..." Jinyoung wore his shoes and thanked Jaebum. Jinyoung asked Jaebum if anything happened and Jaebum paused. "Nothing much happened, you were drunk and we got into a fight and you fell asleep after" Jinyoung ponders for a while and decided it made sense. Of course they were fighting, they were always at each other's throats.  Jinyoung opened his mouth to say something but decided against it. He cleared his throat, "um right, thanks for taking care of me and ...I will see you in school. " With that, Jinyoung left his house. 

A flashy red car soon arrived. As soon as he got into the car, Jinyoung started smacking the driver's head. "WANG JACKSON! How could you leave me with him!! When I am drunk??!!" Jackson gave a sheepish grin and apologised. "Sorry for that Jinyoungie, my parents came home yesterday and I had to return...." Jinyoung glared at him then his eyes softened when he remembered Jackson's parents. How could he forget that the Wang family has always been there for him? Especially Jackson's parents who had attended his national law competition and had even bought him a bouquet of flowers when his parents didn't show up. "Oh you should have brought me to meet them, I miss them too." Jackson replied, "I don't think my parents want to see you in your drunken state... I mean the last time you met them, it was at the gala and you were dancing wildly...you even...got on the---" Jinyoung cut him off and buries his face into his hands in embarrassment. "Ok...please don't ever remind me of that incident..." Jackson sniggered and it was a red light so the car came to a stop.  "Hey, so what happened with you and Jaebum?", Jackson asked him. Jinyoung said that they had fought. Which was the truth.  Jackson started the engine again, "I don't get why guys fight so much, oh well..."

As Jackson turns his full attention to the road, Jinyoung leaned against the window and suddenly he had flashbacks. Wait did they...? He touched his lips and froze. He remembers. Jaebum had kissed him. Does he like him? Was he really drunk? Why was Jaebum pretending that nothing happened? Jinyoung was overwhelmed with thoughts. He lets out a breath and decided that he won't let his feelings be played by Jaebum. Whatever game he is playing, he will play along and see how far this goes. 

-------------------------

Mark turned up at Jaebum's apartment and asked him, "I heard Jinyoung was here. You didn't mention that to me" Jaebum fiddled with his phone. So Jinyoung had told everything to Mark. How typical of him. "So? He was drunk and I didn't know where he stays. It's not a big deal" Mark replied nonchalantly, "Look Jaebum, this time I am serious. I am not playing a game this time...not with Jinyoung...I like him" Jaebum's eyes widened. "Wait, are you serious right now?" Mark smiled and replied, "Yes, I think I will ask him out. " Jaebum frowned at that. He doesn't like that. Mark's smile vanished. He gripped his collar and warned him, "Don't try anything to ruin it for me. Not this time. I won't let you." Jaebum pushes Mark away. "You are close to him right? Say, does he like flowers?" Jaebum told Mark to leave. Really. Why Jinyoung of all people? Why him? 

--------------------

Back at college, the four of them met up again. "Hey, why did you leave that night Mark hyung?" Mark shrugged it off and locked his arms with Jinyoung "I had to tend to something urgent.  I came back for you but the bartender said you left. I wished I had stayed to dance with you, you are such a good dancer Jinyoung!" Jinyoung smiles at his compliments. Jaebum watched them. Of course, Mark was a master at this. He just hoped that Jinyoung wouldn't fall for it. While Jinyoung was smiling, he caught Jaebum's eye and he turned away, back to Mark.
