Colors On Our Skin

~16~

Changkyun decided he really hated moments like this.

The awkwardness and tension, him avoiding meeting his friend's gaze as Kihyun squeezed his hand. Dammit, now they were here again.

When was the universe ever going to stop playing with him? And the thought on that he and Jooheon even were friends since before-

How the hell could they never have actually touched before?

It was also the worse moments, with the older's boyfriend holding Jooheon's hand on the same time.

He felt like running home and jump into his bed. And probably fall asleep, like, forever.

If this day just went by, all he ever was going to stress over was Woobin meeting his soulmates. Not the opposite.

Unfortunately not.

Kihyun coughed awkwardly, breaking the silence as the three looked at him.

They kept some kind of safe space from each other, Changkyun unwilling to look up on Jooheon's face. They had followed Kihyun when he said they needed to figure everything out, no protests coming from the other two males.

Changkyun sighed in his head, almost wanting to run into Hyunwoo's arms and cuddle if it wasn't for the red haired and blonde hesitantly following them into their shared dorm.

Where his other three boyfriends were.

"Um, sunbaenim, are you sure about this?" Kihyun had briefly explained to them what to do and Jooheon knew from earlier about his other soulmates so they had just followed the brunette back.

His hyung nodded, smiling reassuringly as he took up his keys, Changkyun helping him to hold one of the grocery bags. "Of course, it should be alright with the others. Please call me hyung, no need for honorifics."

Jooheon nodded at the smile, looking insecurely on Minhyuk. The oldest of them bit his lip but squeezed his boyfriend's hand, as of saying I'm here with you.

Changkyun really, really, hoped this would go well.

"Welcome home!" Hoseok's voice were heard as Changkyun perked up slightly, smiling at the familiar happy tone.

The blonde came towards the door, smiling widely but stopped as he saw their expressions. He blinked as his boyfriends invited two other strangers into their house, meeting Kihyun's eyes with a silent question.

Kihyun smiled softly.

Well seated inside their living room while waiting for Kihyun and Changkyun to bring them some tea, Jooheon and Minhyuk felt very uncomfortable.

Mostly because of the situation and where they were.

The blonde male who had met them before, Hoseok if he remembered right, scratched his neck in a awkward manner before smiling nervously. "So, Jooheon-ssi, how long have you and Changkyun known each other?"

He felt Minhyuk's knee nudge his and he looked up at Changkyun's boyfriend and soulmate. "Um, maybe three weeks? We must've known each other for at least a month now."

"And you guys actually never had any physical contact?" A shook from the red haired.

"Well, the soul bond sometimes doesn't click even at the first moments so I guess it can make sense. I'm really sorry we had to meet in circumstances like this." Minhyuk smiled slightly as Jooheon stuck to his side.
