It felt like all the air had been knocked out of him. Jiho froze and just stood, staring. Kyung's lips were swollen from the impact of his mouth against Henry's. Their hands were entangled in each other's shirts and they were both breathing so heavily, it could be heard from a distance. 

"Oh" Kyung gasped when he noticed the blonde, "Sorry, didn't see you there"

Yea right.

"No no" Jiho lifted his hands up in a mocking defeat, trying his best to keep his hands from shaking "My bad, should have been more discrete"

The blonde took a step towards the table, but something in his stomach felt ice cold. For a second he thought he was going to start crying. It's not that he felt betrayed. They all knew exactly what this was, but there was something in the arrangement that he had walked in on that just felt wrong in so many ways. He felt pushed aside. Ignored. Left out.

But he was about to.

"You look quite cute together" Jiho started, taking an innocent sip out of his drink, "I almost feel bad interrupting"

"You shouldn't" Henry chuckled.

Kyung looked from him to Jiho in a silent panic. 

Jiho leaned in closer and placed a quick peck onto Henry's lips.

"I guess I get what the hype was about" He smiled sheepishly and shrugged, giving Kyung a stern glare. He wanted Kyung to know the he was onto him.

"This is threatening to turn into something else entirely" Henry sighed and patted his red cheeks, "If I didn't know any better, I'd be worried about a "

Henry saying the word seemed to send a jolt of electricity through Kyung. His back shot straight up. They had all joked about it all night, but someone saying it out loud was almost too much. Th
