"So... It was the janitor all along?"

"Uh-huh."

"The janitor?"

"Yup."

"He wrote all those creepy love notes?"

"Yeah."

"And took all those pictures of you?"

"Yes!" Sehun huffed. Amber stopped in the middle of the hallway, staring at him in disbelief.

"Oh God, I shudder to think of what he's been doing with those pictures."

"Can we not think about it then." Sehun shook his head in disgust, urging her along. "But I confronted him and threatened to report him to the school office. That scared the out of him and he apologized and said he wouldn't do it again. Case closed. Forever."

"You really did that?" Amber quirked a brow.

"Yeah. Believe it or not, I can actually handle things on my own. Who would've thunk it!"

"Not me, certainly," she said, nodding slowly, "Wow. I gotta say I'm proud of you. I'm starting to see a fully-grown hairy pair of balls on you already."

"... I'll have you know I have very big balls," He retorted.

"Good, I was starting to worry there's nothing down there." She laughed as he smacked her arm playfully. "You've changed."

"Did I?"

"Ever since meeting Kai... You're not so chicken anymore. I'm not sure if I like that though."

"Cuz you got so used to me being dependent on you for everything, huh?"

"I guess so..."

"And you liked it. Toxic witch."

She chuckled, but didn't disagree. "I did. I am sorry though. About what I said the other day."

He looked at her blankly for a moment. "Huh?"

"Oh, you forgetful . Whatever, forget I said anything."

"Too late, I already forgot," he shrugged. She couldn't help but smile though. He always was quick to forgive and forget. They stopped in front of the art room as Sehun pushed the door open. "So when are you going to talk to Victoria?"

Amber shrugged, "I did talk to her. We're cool. We just never brought up that incident."

"I guess that's fair enough."

"But she gives me these weird looks sometimes. I don't know... It's like there's something she really wants to tell me but just decides not to."

"Huh, I wonder why," he rolled his eyes.

"Hey what do you mean by that?"

Sehun didn't answer, instead turning his attention to a neatly wrapped gift box on his chair.

"What the..." He frowned, picking it up.

"What? Janitor still hasn't given up?" Amber quirked a brow.

He unwrapped the box and found a note on the inside, right on top of a Nike shoebox.

"I'm sorry. I was a .
Meet at gymnasium at lunch?"

"Not quite..." He said, trying to stop the smile from spreading across his lips. He opened the shoebox and his mouth fell agape.

"Damn, now those are some nice kicks."

"Yeah..." He breathed, pulling one shoe out and examining it. He never actually owned branded shoes, especially not Nike's, since he was always saving up all the money he made.

How dare he! This  is trying to buy me back!

I think it's working though.

Kai waited patiently at the gymnasium, sitting on the bleachers. It was usually quite empty during lunch, which made it a good place for them to meet without much distraction.

Part of him doubted that Sehun would ever show up. That argument they had seemed to have really pissed him off. He had to admit he was angry too but when he took his time to think about it, he did say some really hurtful things. Sehun didn't deserve that.

Soon enough, there was someone plopping down next to him, hands shoved into his pockets.

"H-Hey... You actually came."

Sehun refused to look at him, instead just staring ahead. He shrugged.

"So... I talked to Kris. He told me that it was the janitor after all... And that you confronted him and everything."

"Uh huh," Sehun replied almost smugly.

"And it wasn't Lay."

"Nope."

Kai sighed, "I'm sorry, you were right. I should have had more faith in you."

Sehun crossed his arms and his eyes were downcast, but he didn't say anything.

"I guess I just... Really wanted to be like your knight in shining armour."

Sehun rolled his eyes, "I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't need that. I'm a man, you know... Not some sort of damsel in distress."

"I know, I know. I can't help it, it's my first time dating a guy. I guess I'm still getting used to it." He said, reaching for Sehun's arm and slowly pulling it to his lap so he could hold his hand. "I'm sorry."

Sehun finally turned his head to look at him, eyes softening. "Well... I really liked those shoes."

A smile tugged at the corners of Kai's lips and he lifted his hand up to kiss it softly. "I'm glad you do... They're all yours."

"... I really missed you," he grumbled as he rested his head on Kai's shoulder, shyly wrapping a hand around his arm. Kai couldn't help but feel warm and fuzzy all over. Why do you have to be so ridiculously cute, Oh Sehun? He smiled, wrapping an arm around Sehun to pull him closer, and placing a soft kiss against his forehead.

"I missed you even more," Kai said softly, "I thought you'd be super mad at me."

"I can't really stay mad... At anyone. Especially not you. And I guess I was also wrong about hiding the whole thing from you."

"You didn't want to tell me because you knew I'd have this ty reaction. I can understand that much."

"I should have told you anyway," he mumbled. "You're my boyfriend after all..."

Kai grinned, placing another kiss on his forehead. "It's okay babe."

Sehun's eyes widened and he lifted his head up to look at Kai. "Did you just 'babe' me?"

Kai smirked, "Yes I did just 'babe' you."

He blushed slightly but he made a disgusted face, "Ew no... Don't call me that again. That's so chees-"

He was cut off when Kai suddenly connected their lips in a soft kiss. He couldn't help it; Sehun was just too cute. Sehun stiffened at first but eventually melted into the kiss. He really missed the feel of Kai's plump lips against his own, and had been secretly longing for it over the few days they hadn't talked for.

Sehun eventually willed himself to pull away, looking around the empty gymnasium.

"Anyone could walk in on us here..." He pouted, secretly hoping Kai still had the storage room key on him.

"Yeah..." Kai sighed. "I wish I could just kiss you wherever I want to... And hold your hand in front of everyone."

Sehun went quiet for a moment, staring down at their intertwined hands. "Me too. But..."

"But... I just wish I wasn't so scared of what everyone else thought of me. You know... Being with a guy."

Sehun looked at him and he could see the distress in his eyes. He really meant that what he said. Part of Sehun also wished they could just be together in front of everyone, but he knew it wasn't the right time.

"It's okay... I'm happy just being with you. In secret or in front of everyone... It doesn't really matter to me."

"You mean that?" Kai asked hopefully.

"Yeah... I do."

He smiled and pulled Sehun into a tight hug, holding him close.

"Will you come over to my place today?" He asked as he caressed his hair. "I do have something else for you..."

"Is that so?" Sehun quirked a brow. He couldn't help but think of something dirty. About damn time for some action, right?

"Yeah..."

Sehun pursed his lips. "I'm free today..."

Kai pulled away from their hug so he could look at Sehun's face.

"Perfect."

Amber found herself shamelessly staring from afar. Toned, fair long legs that only looked longer in those PE shorts. Perfect proportions. Perfect black hair tied up into a high pony. It was almost unfair. Like seriously, why did she have to look like she was hand-crafted by God himself?

When she had finished running her laps, she stopped to take a break, bending over and resting her hands against her knees, panting. And damn if her didn't look good in that position. There were a bunch of guys around Amber and they were all gaping at the sight. Amber stood up in annoyance, making her way over to the girl.

When she got to her, she handed her a a water bottle, which she accepted gratefully.

"Thanks," she panted, taking a long sip of water.

"Those shorts you're wearing aren't nearly short enough," Amber grumbled. Victoria cocked a brow up, looking down at her shorts.

"I think they're okay."

"Oh sure, as long as you're okay with your buttcheeks hanging out like that."

Victoria laughed softly, "That's good, then all that squatting wasn't for nothing."

"Hoe," Amber rolled her eyes and Victoria only laughed even more.

"You want me to cover up then?" She asked with a slight smirk.

"You can do whatever you want."

Victoria only smiled, handing her back the water bottle. "So how'd I do? That's if you kept your eyes off my long enough to notice."

"I doubt any of the dudes sitting over there did," Amber said, nodding her head towards the guys sitting at the bleachers, still staring at her, "But yeah you're pretty fast. Good stamina too. You might just win that 400 meter sprint."

"You'd beat me if you actually participated. I remember how fast you were back in middle school."

"Nah I'm pretty much done with extracurriculars."

"That's a shame. It would have been fun to do this with you," she said just as the coach was calling everyone to assemble around him. "Well I gotta get back to it. Catch you after class?"

Amber nodded, watching Victoria's gaze linger on her for a second before she turned around and jogged toward their instructor. She sighed.

What am I going to do with you, Vic?

Sehun rang the doorbell as he stood outside Kai's door. He was dressed in a warm black coat on top of his maroon sweater and back jeans, finishing off his look with the new shoes Kai had bought him. He combed through his hair with his fingers as he waited for Kai to open the door.

When the doorknob turned and the door opened, he was ready to be greeted with the familiar face of his boyfriend. But instead he saw someone else- a middle-aged man with icy cold eyes and a stoic expression. Sehun was almost about to jump back in shock but held himself back.

Oh God. That's probably the dad.

"H-Hey... I uh... Hello. I'm Sehun! You must be Mr. K-Kim." He bowed respectfully in a perfect ninety-degree angle.

"Yes... Did you need something?"

"I'm a friend of Kai's... Is he... In there?" He asked nervously, trying to look anywhere but at the scary man in front of him.

"I've never seen you before..." He said skeptically. As if in cue, Kai finally showed up from behind his father.

"Oh hey. Sorry I was... Late..." He said, looking been the two of them awkwardly.

"This a friend of yours?" Mr. Kim asked.

"Yeah," Kai answered, "Gee dad would you let him in already? It's freezing outside."

"Sure," he shrugged, finally giving way for Sehun to pass.

"Th-Thank you sir!" Sehun bowed again as he shuffled in. He began to kick off his shoes as he looked up at Kai, who also seemed unsure of how to greet Sehun in front of his father.

"Come on let's go upstairs," Kai said, gesturing to the staircase. Sehun almost let out a sigh of relief, grateful to be finally getting away from the tension.

"What's the hurry? Come on, Kai, introduce me to your new friend."

Sehun stiffened in his place as Kai turned to his dad in annoyance. "Dad... Do we have to? We have a project to work on."

"You'll have all night to work on it. I won't take too much of your time," he said as he made his way to the living room. Sehun sent Kai a desperate look that said I can't do this. Kai only nodded at him reassuringly. Don't worry, you got this.

Sighing nervously, they both followed Mr. Kim into the living room and took a seat on the couch. Mr. Kim crossed his legs and studied the two of them.

"So, Sehun, huh? When did you two get close?"

"About three months ago, Sir." He replied immediately.

"He's in the art club," Kai mentioned, arms crossed impatiently.

"That's great. You any good at it?" He sounded almost impressed.

"I'm alright..."

"Psh, alright he says. He's the best I've ever seen," Kai corrected, and Sehun couldn't help but blush at that.

"I was always thinking of having family portraits done, what do you think Kai? Maybe he could do it."

"I-I would be honoured, Sir."

Kai shrugged, "Sure why not I guess."

"Where are my manners, Sehun would you like something to drink?"

"I'm good actually..."

"Non sense. Kai, go get him some juice."

"Okay," he nodded as he stood up, sending one last encouraging look at Sehun before disappearing into the kitchen. The room went silent after that but he could feel Mr. Kim's burning gaze on him, studying him. He fidgeted with his fingers, trying to look busy.

"You're not much of a talker, are you? You're quite different from Kai's other friends."

"I guess..."

"You seem like a good guy, Sehun. I'm sure you can be a good influence on Kai."

He looked up at Mr. Kim almost in surprise. He certainly didn't expect that, but it felt good to somehow get his approval. "Kai is already a really good guy."

"I know he is. I just wish he talked to me more. Feels like I barely know anything about him lately."

Maybe that's your own fault. Sehun thought to himself. His father didn't seem like a bad guy, but he did seem quite strict. Sehun could see why he'd hide things from him.

"Maybe you just need to treat him more like a friend?" He suggested.

Before Mr. Kim could say anything, Kai was already back with a glass of mango juice for Sehun.

"Alright, I won't bother you guys any longer. You can go ahead and do your project."

Sehun mentally let out a sigh of relief as he stood up, bowing yet again to Kai's father.

"It was a pleasure, Sir!"

"Same here, Sehun," he smiled. Smiled? Kai frowned in confusion at his own father. But shrugging it off, he led Sehun up towards his room.

"Sorry about that... I really didn't expect him to come open the door."

"I was so goddamn nervous," Sehun grimaced, placing a hand on his chest, "I think I did okay, though. Did I do okay?"

"Yeah you were more that okay," Kai grinned, opening his room and letting them both in before closing the door.

"That's good..." He said as he took off his coat and jumped into Kai's bed, getting comfortable. When he noticed that Kai was just standing there, staring at him, he raised a brow. "What?"

"Nothing... You just look really good today," he complimented, a genuine smile on his lips.

Sehun blushed. He never could get used to the butterflies he got whenever Kai flirted with him. He surely wasn't complaining though. He loved it. "Must be those new shoes..."

"Must be you, actually. You always look great."

"Huh. Yeah, you're right actually," Sehun nodded, crossing one leg over he other. Kai rolled his eyes as he made his way over to his desk.

"Anyway... I did say I had something else for you," he said cheekily as he made his way over to Sehun, hiding something behind his back. Sehun tried to peek, curious to see what else Kai had for him.

"What is it?"

"Not so fast," he said as he sat down on his bed, still hiding said object behind his back, "I'm gonna need something first."

Sehun cocked a brow, "Something like...?" Kai didn't reply but grinned suggestively, slowly leaning in. The other made a face, retreating slightly, "I'm not gonna blow you."

Kai widened his eyes, heat rushing to his face, taken back at his words. "Seriously? That's the first thing that came to your mind? ert..."

"Don't tell me it didn't cross yours."

"No! I mean not at this very moment at least... I was just gonna ask for a kiss or something. Geez."

Sehun bit his lip. Yeah I really need to work on that brain to mouth filter. Although, he did like how flustered he could make Kai. It made him feel like he had some power over him, because Kai surely had a lot of power over him- the slightest gestures had him blushing like a teenage girl.

"I didn't ask you for the gift. If you wanna give it to me just give it to me."

Kai pouted. "You are mean."

"I am not! Doesn't it make more sense to think about the reward after I see the gift? Who knows? It could be even better than just a kiss."

A smile began to tug at Kai's lips as he closed in on Sehun, "You are becoming very bold."

"You have a problem with that?" Sehun asked confidently.

"A big one."

Sehun cocked a brow, "...How big is it?"

Kai found himself blushing yet again. Wait, are we still talking about the problem or...?

"Look who's the ert now," Sehun laughed, "Now gimme that." He abruptly reached behind Kai's back, grabbing whatever he was hiding.

"Seriously?" Kai huffed as his boyfriend examined the few books now in his possession.

"Oh my God... This is the newest volume! How'd you know I was looking for this?!"

Kai shrugged, "Lisa told me some new volume of this BL manga just came out, and I remembered you having the same one in your room."

Sehun hugged the books to his chest, looking touched. "That is so sweet! Oh my God, I don't how to... Thank you!"

Kai simply smiled at him. "Anything for you."

Sehun put the books aside and jumped on top of Kai, hugging him tightly.

"Whoa whoa whoa, take it easy..." Kai chuckled, certainly not expecting all that enthusiasm. He couldn't deny it made his heart flutter though, just seeing his boyfriend so happy with such a simple gift.

Sehun pulled away to look at him, grinning happily. Kai rested his hands on his waist.

"I'm so sorry I was ever mad at you," he said excitedly, making Kai only laugh harder.

"Why do I feel like we've been here before?" He asked with a smirk, gesturing to their position. Kai was laid out on his bed with Sehun on top of him, looking down at him thoughtfully.

"When?" He asked with a frown, before realization eventually dawned on him. "Oh yeah, that day. Before we 
started fighting for some deranged reason."

"I certainly wouldn't mind staying like this for a while," Kai smiled as he reached up and brushed a few strands of hair off his face. Sehun pursed his lips, looking down at Kai softly. "I really missed you. I wish we never had that stupid fight."

"Actually..." Sehun began to play with Kai's collar as he spoke, "I'm kind of glad we did. I think that's what gave me the determination to face my stalker. I just wanted so bad to prove to you that I could really handle myself. In the end... I realized what I needed even more was to prove it to myself."

"And that you did..." Kai smiled, "You faced your fears and you came out stronger. I mean I can't say the same for myself."

"Are you kidding? You've been doing great yourself. I mean, coming out to your friends about our relationship must not have been easy. But you did it anyway."

Kai nodded thoughtfully, having forgotten about that. "I guess you're right. I guess... We're making each other better people."

"I guess so," Sehun smiled affectionately, his face starting to go red at the way Kai was gazing up at him. "Oh Gosh... I've always hated all this mushy mushy stuff in the mangas. But now I think we're even worse."

Kai laughed as Sehun shyly shoved his face into his shoulder, shaking his head.

"How bad is it?"

Sehun lifted himself up, reaching for one of the books and waving it at Kai. "Let's find out."

"Well this should be fun," he grinned as he sat up while Sehun got off him so they could sit next to each other. He looked for the first issue and opened it.

"This one's a little steamy. Just thought I'd warn you."

"My body is ready," Kai stated as they began to read together. A few pages in and Kai's face was already contorting.

"Oh wow... You were not kidding..." He commented, eyes wide yet unable to look away from the very graphic images on the page. "Why is it soy?"

"That's the beauty of it. You see, it's okay because they love each other."

"That would not be okay in real life."

Sehun shrugged, "True, but everything is okay in manga."

"Whoa... That's a huge..." He trailed off.

"Oh yeah. Shimada is y is hell."

"That looks painful."

"Well of course it is... Did you see the size of that thing?"

"But this guy already had like fifteen s."

"And it just keeps coming."

"He just called him daddy."

"How hot is that."

Kai lifted his eyebrows up in amusement, looking at Sehun who didn't seem fazed in the least. He was probably used to reading that sort of thing after all. But he couldn't help but imagine doing all those things with Sehun as he read. It was kind of weird to think about but it also kind of turned him on. I suppose it wouldn't be too bad if I a little...

"Would you call me daddy?" He challenged, to which Sehun's eyes widened almost comically.

"W-What kind of question is that?!"

Kai shrugged, "I just happened to pick up some inspiration."

Sehun's face reddened as he closed the book and hit Kai on the head with it. "What happens in manga... Stays in manga!"

"Oh yeah?" Kai grinned, grabbing Sehun's wrist and swiftly getting on top of him, pinning both his hands on top of his head. "I think I briefly recall Shimada doing something like this."

Sehun's eyes widened as he stared up at Kai, speechless. "W-What are you..." He stuttered, feeling his heart thump against his chest.

"That's exactly what Ryuu said..." Kai ran a hand down his cheek, trailing down his chest to stop right on top of his heart, "Right before his heart went ba-dump."

Sehun pressed his lips tightly together, trying to stop the small smile from stretching across them. "You are ridiculous."

"Hey I'm not the one that reads this on a daily basis."

"It's art. You just don't get it." He scoffed.

"I think I've had about enough art for now," he said, letting Sehun's wrists go as he gazed down at him.

Sehun looked away shyly, face heating up yet again. God, why does he always make me this weak? Not to mention that little roleplay moment... Hot damn. He bit his lip, thinking of all the things they could do right now. They were in the privacy of Kai's room, after all. Alone. On his bed. With Kai on top of him.

He glanced up to see Kai staring at him silently, almost as if admiring him. Then Kai gently cupped his cheek. "You wanna know what I think?" He whispered.

"What?" Sehun mumbled, feeling sparks go down his spine as Kai caressed his cheek with his thumb.

"I think Shimada's an ... And that if he really loves Ryuu, he should treasure him, respect him and treat him like the most important person in his world," he said as he looked down at Sehun affectionately. Sehun gulped, feeling like those words were directed to him. And as hot as his cheeks were, his heart felt even warmer. "He'd be gentle, and caring, and loving... and he certainly wouldn't be throwing Ryuu into bed and forcing himself on him. And instead of calling him daddy, he'd want Ryuu to call him baby."

Sehun found himself chuckling at that last part, "I'm sorry, it's getting kind of hard to take you seriously right now."

Kai pouted, "Hey, I was trying to be romantic!"

Sehun tried to hold in his laughter but ended up snorting, "Oh God, you're such a cheeseball."

"You haven't seen anything yet. I still have one more trick up my sleeve," he said as he reached over to the bedside table, pressing a button. Instantly, the bright white light in the room was replaced by a dim purple glow that had Sehun looking around in amazement.

"Whoa... okay... You got me there."

"Just kiss me already," Kai whispered almost impatiently. Sehun stared up at him, wrapping two arms around his neck and pulling him down to him.

"Consider this your reward," he whispered before kissing him softly. Their lips instantly molded together, sliding against each other languidly. Kai dug his fingers into Sehun's hair, lightly brushing his brown locks as he twisted his head for better access. His body was flush against Sehun's, taking in the dizzying heat that radiated off his body.

It was electrifying, the way Sehun's lips slid against his, following his lead. At first he was timid, but as they went on he began to respond more eagerly, parting his lips so he could taste Kai. The latter didn't hesitate to slip his tongue out, running it across Sehun's lips.

Wait are we frenching right now? We're totally frenching right now! Sehun thought to himself, feeling his heart race and his blood rushing through his veins. He was overwhelmed, almost intoxicated. The way Kai slipped his tongue past his lips and brushed it against his own- it was absolutely irresistible. He tasted sweet and so wonderfully unique- definitely not what he expected someone else's saliva and bacteria-infested mouth to taste like. Why does he taste so amazing? Do I taste even half as good as that? Crap, did I brush my teeth before coming here?!

Nonetheless, Sehun moaned softly as he held his face, pulling him in closer. He couldn't get enough. He wanted more and more of Kai, and then some.

"Sehun," Kai whispered huskily against his lips. Sehun immediately felt the blood rush down south at the sound of his voice. Uh oh. This is nuts. No pun intended.

What if mom saw me like this?

He shook off those stupid thoughts as Kai pulled away for a second, breathing hastily against his lips. He cupped his cheek, lightly brushing their lips against each other.

"Why are you so perfect?" Kai whispered, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Look who's talking..." Sehun breathed, a light blush colouring his pale face. He ran a hand down Kai's chest and abs, eventually resting it on his hip. Kai his lips, capturing Sehun's yet again in a searing kiss. It wasn't long before Sehun flipped them over so he was on top. It took Kai by surprise but he didn't break their kiss, wrapping his arms around Sehun.

And in those few minutes, as they were so lost in each other, they almost didn't hear the sound on the doorknob turning and the feminine gasp that ensued. Almost.

But they did. And then they froze before immediately jumping apart, faces flushed, hair disheveled, caught red-handed.

Oh .

Kai half expected to see his sister at the door, which would have been a minor inconvenience but not nearly as horrifying as the person who was actually standing there. Eyes wide open, mouth gaping, a look of absolute shock and horror on her face. Face contorting into one of disgust, she slowly shook her head as if not believing her own eyes.

And then all of a sudden she turned to leave.

"Mom, wait-"

Oopsie.

I love a good cliffhanger, don't you? Mwahahaha. What's going to happen next, I wonder?

Thanks for patiently waiting on my update, I know it was sort of late! But I have been working on updating another story (One Shot at Love) at the same time and my chapters are all around 4k-5k words so they do take a while to write, especially with all the editing and proofreading (and then it still ends up having some errors even after I edit multiple times like wtfffff)

Also if you wondering what manga they were talking about, don't bother. It doesn't exist. I made it up.

So yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed that chapter cuz I definitely enjoyed writing it. I loves me some good Sekai y time ;)

Don't forget to leave those nice comments and votes to keep me motivated!

And here's my random song of the day; "Naughty" by Red Velvet's Seulgi and Irene- because I love it and I love the dance and I actually learned some of it. Certainly don't look as cool as them doing it though. Thoughts?
