Chapter 4

I Can Hear Your Voice

AN:  I am extremely hung over, and I woke up with my face covered in paint.  Apparently my friends and I thought it would be a good idea to paint our faces like they do in All In... But I digress.  Enjoy my hangover chapter :)

Kihyun woke up with a groan.  His head was pounding and he felt like .  Changkyun noticed Kihyun had awoken.  "Hey good timing. Some of us are meeting downstairs to get some breakfast.  You wanna come?"

Kihyun could barely register the fact that someone was talking to him through the blinding pain in his head.  When he finally realized he should probably respond to the question, he could barely move his tongue because his mouth was completely parched.  "Water," he croaked.  Changkyun couldn't help but chuckle.  "Ah... yea you had quite the rough night.  How are you feeling?"  Changkyun came back from the bathroom and gave him a cup of water.

Kihyun opened his eyes to receive the cup and shut them immediately.  Everything was way too bright and made his headache worse.  He blindly reached for the cup but instead found a couple pills in his hand.  "I thought you might need these,"  Changkyun offered.  Kihyun downed the pills with the water.  "Thanks," he mumbled.  

"It would probably be best if you ate some eggs and drank a bit of gatorade.  You're probably dehydrated."  Kihyun just nodded his head at Chankyun's advice and continued to pitifully lay in bed.

Changkyun nudged Kihyun's shoulder.  "I'm gonna wait in Wonho and Minhyuk's room, so wash yourself up a bit and meet us when you're ready, ok?"  Kihyun could only nod again.

Kihyun didn't want to eat let alone move or even try opening his eyes again.  All he wanted to do was fall back asleep.  He started drifting off when images of last night's events suddenly flashed through his mind.  And then he remembered.  He had been kissed by a man.  Kihyun felt bile rise in his throat and ran to the bathroom to retch in the toilet.  

A man had kissed him.  He felt dirty.  Tainted.  It was wrong.  Kihyun heaved again and heard the familiar sound of a door opening.  

"Ki are you ok??"  Chankyun knelt next to Kihyun and rubbed his back to comfort the sick boy.  Kihyun jerked away from Chankyun's touch and fell on his facing his friend.  "D-Don't touch me!" he stuttered.  

"Ki what's wrong?" Kihyun continued to back away from the confused Changkyun and held his head in his hands because his headache was worse than ever.  He also didn't want to look at his roommate.  

"I-I'm dirty a-and have been defiled.  Changkyun, he kissed me!  His tongue was inside my mouth!  I just feel so... so... gross.  Like he's ruined me!" Kihyun thought Changkyun would be disgusted at the fact that he was kissed by a man.  Guys were not supposed to kiss each other!  That was just wrong!  What would his friend think of him now?  

Changkyun sighed and rolled his eyes at Kihyun's ridiculous outburst, "Kihyun it's not like he you or anything.  You're not ruined or whatever.  I mean it was a pretty move what he did to you, but you're fine!  I took care of the guy."  

"No that's not the point!  He was a guy!  A dude with a !  A male kissed me!  Don't you think that's repulsive?" Changkyun stayed silent for a moment and drawled out, "So... The reason why you're freaking out right now isn't because someone forced themself on you but that a guy kissed you?"

"Exactly!" Kihyun exclaimed.  Changkyun's expression darkened.

"So you think being gay is wrong?  That two men can't love each other?"  Kihyun obviously didn't notice Changkyun change in mood as he responded, "Of course it's wrong!  Men can't be together!"

"Then what about Jooheon and Gunhee?"  Changkyun didn't understand Kihyun's train of thought.  

"What about them?"  Kihyun cocked his head to the side in confusion.

"They're gay but you seem to get along with them just fine!"  Changkyun snapped.  Kihyun shrugged at Changkyun's accusation, "So?  They're my friends.  It doesn't matter to me if they're gay or not.  I mean it weirds me out a little because I was always brought up very conservatively, but I accept it."  By this time Changkyun was extremely confused.  It seemed to him that it was engrained into Kihyun's mind by his parents and society for that matter that being gay was wrong, but he didn't think Kihyun personally was against homouals.  Changkyun just didn't think Kihyun understood that yet.  

"And why are you getting angry all of a sudden?  It's not like you're gay."  Kihyun retorted.

Changkyun's eyes widened "I-"

"What are you guys doing on the floor?"  Both boys jumped as Minhyuk nonchalantly moseyed into the bathroom.  

"We were just-" Changkyun began.

"Oh my god is that puke? Ew gross I'm outta here!"  Minhyuk left as soon as he came.

Kihyun went back to holding his head in his hands as Changkyun lifted himself off the floor.

"A-anyways just come downstairs when you're ready.  We'll just go ahead of you."  Changkyun quickly strode out of their room.  He didn't want to continue the discussion about his uality.  Especially with Kihyun.

Kihyun leaned his head back against the wall and sighed.  He hoped he hadn't offended Changkyun with anything they discussed in the bathroom, but he couldn't help but feel his friend wasn't fond of his opinion.  On the bright side, Kihyun was relieved Changkyun wasn't disgusted by the events that occured last night.

Brushing all thoughts of last night away, he picked himself off the floor and started cleaning himself up.  Ten minutes later Kihyun found himself wobbling to the cafeteria.  Minhyuk waved him down and soon he was sitting in between Minhyuk and Hyungwon who were bickering with each other.

"We can't tell him."

"Why not?  It's not like he's not gonna find out hisself!"

"But he's going to be so pissed!"

"So?  There's nothing we can do about it now!"

Hyungwon spoke more this morning in the two minutes Kihyun had been sitting with him than he spoke last night.  Kihyun dismissed the thought and tuned out of their squabble until he heard Hyungwon hush Minhyuk.  "Shh here he comes."

Wonho came stumbling into the cafeteria looking like he got run over by a truck.  Without even getting any food, he plopped down across from Kihyun.  "Holy my hurts!" he cried out as soon as his hit the chair.  

"Well I would assume so after you got that tattoo on your !"  Shownu snickered.

Kihyun heard a gasp from both Hyungwon and Minhyuk.  Their eyes looked like deer caught in the headlights. They tried getting Shownu's attention to get him to shut up.  Shownu must have gotten the message because he didn't continue.  

"Tattoo?  What tattoo??"  Wonho perplexedly looked around the table.  Minhyuk quickly jumped into the conversation.  "He's just kidding!  Ha Ha.  I mean this is Shownu we're talking about right?"  Minhyuk laughed nervously.  

"Yea you were dancing with Shownu last night and ended up falling on your , so that's probably why it hurts."  Hyungwon immediately added.  

Wonho seemed to buy the explanation.  "Oh ok, cool."  Wonho proceeded to lay his head down on the table and moaned.  "Everything hurts."

"Yah!  If you're gonna fall asleep at the table you might as well just go back to bed!" Minhyuk chided his roommate.

Wonho seemed to like that idea, so he got up with a grumble here and there and shuffled out of the cafeteria.

Hyungwon and Minhyuk let out a sigh of relief.  Kihyun turned to Minhyuk.  "You know.  It sounds to me like he actually got a tattoo on his .  Care to explain?"

"Uhh yea about that..." Minhyuk started.  "Well after Changkyun left with you last night, Hyungwon at some point saw Wonho's thigh tattoo through the rips in his pants, so they started talking about tattoos.  Hyungwon then joked with Wonho saying that he thought tattoos were attractive."  

"I was kidding but he took me seriously because he was still drunk off his ."  Hyungwon added.

"Anyways.  Then Jooheon and Gunhee joined the conversation, and Jooheon so kindly pointed out that there was a tattoo parlor right across the street.  So Wonho decided to get an tattoo to impress Hyungwon."

Kihyun didn't know if he should laugh or feel sorry for Wonho in that moment.  "Wait so what is it??"

Hyungwon and Minhyuk shared a look.  "It's um.."

"It's my face."  Hyungwon said matter-of-factly.

"Your face."  Kihyun muttered to himself.  "So you mean to tell me that Wonho... has a tattoo of your face on his ??"  

"That would be correct!" Minhyuk grinned.

Changkyun let out a bellowing laugh at the other side of the table.  "He." Changkyun was laughing so hard he had to hold the stitches at his sides.  "Oh my god."  He tried to fit words in between his laughter.  "Your face."  Changkyun continued his giggle fit.  

Kihyun couldn't help but smile at his friend's cute bursts of laughter.  He had never seen Changkyun laugh so hard before, and it was possibly the most adorable thing he's ever seen his roommate do.  Kihyun added making Changkhyun laugh like a fool on his bucket list.  

By this time Changkyun was wiping the tears from his eyes and slowly catching his breathe.  Kihyun couldn't help but stare.  Changkyun always looked so mature, but his laughter-filled face made him look years younger, bringing back fond memories of their past.  Changkyun looked up and caught Kihyun staring at him.  Kihyun blushed but couldn't look away.  Changkyun met his eyes and had the biggest and most charming smile on his face.  Changkyun winked and a very flustered Kihyun choked on the eggs he was chewing on.  

Minhyuk started banging on his back to help him get his food down.  Kihyun swallowed and a small 'thanks' escaped his lips.  Kihyun didn't dare look at Changkyun again.

Suddenly Kihyun's phone buzzed.  He got a message from Jooheon.

From:  Jooheon

Hey!  Gunhee was sad he couldn't talk to you guys more.  Would you guys like to get together tonight and play some soccer in the fields?  Maybe grab some food after? :3

To be honest Kihyun wasn't a fan of sports or even moving in general on most days.  Plus he still had a raging headache.  He was about to text Jooheon back saying he wasn't feeling too well when Minhyuk plucked his phone from his hands and announced to the group, "Guys! Jooheon and Gunhee wanna play soccer and grab some food later!  Who's up for it??"

"Yea I'm down!"

"I don't have anything else to do tonight so why not?"

"I like food!  Not so much soccer, but if food is involved!!"

Everyone seemed like they wanted to hang tonight, so Kihyun really had no choice but to text him back saying that it was a plan.  

________

"Yah!!  You piece of !! Watch where you're kicking the ball!!"  Jooheon was groaning on the ground cupping his newly sore crotch.  Gunhee snickered, "Well, dickhead, maybe if you would pay better attention you wouldn't have gotten hit in the balls in the first place!"  Gunhee knelt down next to Jooheon and whispered, "Would you like me to kiss your boo-boo?  I can make it all better," he said with a wolfish grin. 

"ert.  You'd enjoy that too much."  A very red-faced Jooheon retorted.  

Gunhee winked and wiggled his eyebrows at his boyfriend, "I always do."  

Kihyun honestly didn't understand the point of this game of soccer because every two minutes Jooheon and Gunhee would find another reason to start making out with each other on the field.  Which was the current situation.  Kihyun grabbed the ball and threw it at the offending couple.  "Yah! Get a room!"

Gunhee looked up at Kihyun, stuck out his tongue, and attacked Jooheon's lips again.  Kihyun rolled his eyes and went back to the game.  Honestly none of the guys were athletic.  Even the muscleheads.  All they knew how to do was lift weights.  It was a very sad game indeed.  

Kihyun and Wonho had miraculously gotten over their hang overs in the couple hours after waking up.  Kihyun looked over at Wonho who was currently scratching his .  "Jesus christ at first it hurt, but now my is just really itchy!"  Kihyun had to suppress a chuckle.  It was a miracle Wonho hadn't gotten curious enough to look at his yet.  

"Minhyuk I swear to god if you kick my shin one more time I'm gonna feed you to your precious ducks!" Hyungwon howled in pain.  Another bruise was forming on his body.  

"How dare you deform his precious model legs!" Wonho into the yelling match.  

"And I swear to god if YOU my one more time!" Hyungwon pointed at Wonho.  He was having a hard time between the two blondes.  One was constantly kicking him and the other inappropriately touching him.  "Just because I got a little friendly when I drank..." Hyungwon continued.  

The only normal ones there were silently and awkwardly standing next to each other watching everything go down.  Kihyun sighed.  Their group of friends was a mess.  

"It seems like Hyungwon is getting along well with the guys." Kihyun observed as he walked towards Shownu and Changkyun.

"Yea I'm really happy he's fitting in well.  I was worried because he's always so quiet with me that he'd have a hard time making friends, but he seems to be doing great." Shownu perceived.  That was daddy Shownu.  Always caring about his roommate.  Kihyun was pretty sure the daddy nickname was going to stick around for awhile.

"You guys ready to start the final round?" Kihyun asked the two.

Both silently nodded, so Kihyun turned to the others and yelled, "Yah!  Let's go!  We're starting!"  

One by one the boys trickled to the center of the field getting back into position.  And so they started.

Kihyun, much to his dissatisfaction, had to guard Changkyun.  This meant unnecessary touching and lots of blushing on Kihyun's part.  Brushing shoulders and hips, bumping knees, grabbing limbs, etc.  Kihyun was starting to look forward to those small touches.  Sometimes he would even try to create more bodily contact with Changkyun.  Each time he did he threw a small party in his head.  His next goal was to somehow cop a feel of Changkyun's abs.  All he wanted was to run a hand down the nice lines of his stomach.  Nothing big.  Or weird.  

About 5 minutes into the game Gunhee and Jooheon were a heap on the ground making out again, so it was basically 3 vs 3.  Wonho had passed the ball all the way down to the other side of the field to Kihyun where it was just him and Changkyun.  "You think you can score on me Ki?" Changkyun taunted with a cocky smile.  It was rare for Changkyun to be competitive, but it was times like these that made Kihyun fire up too.  

"You think I can't?  Watch me."  Kihyun smirked.  Kihyun fainted left and kicked right.  He was almost to the goal when Changkyun closed in on him.  Kihyun suddenly felt his feet leave the ground as he tripped over Changkyun.  Kihyun hit the ground with a thud with something heavy landing on top of him.  He opened his eyes and found another pair of eyes just inches away from his.  Kihyun caught his breath.  Not only were their faces close, but bodies fully pressed against each other with legs intertwined.  Changkyun didn't budge.  And neither did Kihyun.  Their breathes mingled together as they lay there enjoying the feel of body against body.  Kihyun glanced down and just for a second wondered what it would be like to kiss those soft lips... Closer.  Closer.  Kihyun wasn't the only one closing space he realized.  His heart was pounding, and it wasn't from the excercise.  So close.

"What're you guys doing?" Minhyuk whispered into their ears.

The two instantly jerked away from each other at Minhyuk's intrusion.  Both boys blushing madly.  

"We-" Changkyun began.

"Changkyun t-tripped me and we fell."  Kihyun squawked.  

Minhyuk eyed the two and shrugged his shoulders.  "You know usually when that happens people try to get away from the other person, not get even closer.  But that's none of my business," he smirked and walked away.  

Kihyun and Changkyun stood in the same spot awkwardly for a minute or two trying to find the right words to say.  

"I uhh.  It looks like the game is over.  Maybe we should go.."  Changkyun got out.

Kihyun nodded, still blushing like crazy.

Apparently Changkyun's team score the winning goal while the two were having their moment on the other side of the field.  

"Who's up for food?  I'm starving!" piped up an excited Wonho.

Everyone agreed except for Kihyun.  

"I-I'm still not feeling too well from last night.  I think I'm just gonna go back to the dorm and lie down," he lied.  Changkyun gave him a look.  He always knew when his friend was lying, and that's exactly what he was doing now.  Changkyun didn't say anything though because giving Kihyun space was probably best.  

And so the boys split off for the night.

When Changkyun got home later that evening, Kihyun was already sound asleep in bed.

Changkyun sighed and raked a hand through his chesnut brown hair.  It seemed like his relationship with his childhood best friend wasn't going to improve anytime soon.
