The sweet solid

Boys over Towers

 

Baekhyun found himself walking along the beach, trying to clear his mind. He didn’t really plan to go back to sleep in the same room as Park Chanyeol, and he was aimlessly looking for a place to sit for the rest of the night. He flipped his phone and it beamed 1:34 am. He hadn’t realized that it was getting this late and thought that it wouldn’t matter to stay up for 6 more hours.

He sighed as he finally found a bench that slanted on the uneven sand. He sat there, carelessly throwing the white mobile into the air and watched is it dropped back down into his hand. He has had a hard time trying to keep up with the rich, and he had realized that this wasn’t the life for him.

He could be at home right now, studying the night away for the upcoming entrance tests. He got too caught up in the boy’s shenanigans that he hadn’t realized he could be applying for a scholarship. He has noticed his parents saving up a bit, but he still didn’t feel the need to depend on them, to push their lives off the edge of happiness just to make way for his own.

He clenched his teeth as stared longingly at the gush of the water. “Please take me away.” He pleaded the water. All he wanted was the water to crash over him and drift him off to some far away place, where he didn’t have to worry about his future or about his parents or about anything that was bound to happen.

“Hey.” He heard someone say from behind him. He had been too startled that he dropped his phone to the warm sand. “Oops, careful.” Jongin had bended in front of him and grabbed his phone and handed it to Baekhyun. “Thanks.” Baekhyun said with a smile.

“Can’t sleep?” Jongin had found a place on the bench as Baekhyun had moved a bit to his left. Baekhyun could see the shadows under Kai’s eyes. He could see the outline of his broad shoulders through the tight white shirt he had on. He couldn’t help but wonder how rich people can be perfect as well. They had everything, and being attractive was something that had to be added into the list of perfect things to give.

“Yeah.” Baekhyun said as he turned back to the ocean. “You too?” He asked, already knowing the answer. Jongin didn’t reply but was scratching the back of his head instead.

Baekhyun knew something was bothering him. Do I dare ask? He wasn’t particularly close with Jongin, and he thought it might be a bit rude to impose on his business. Baekhyun shrugged off the idea as he heard Jongin sigh, something he had never seen him do the whole time they were together.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you usally the happy-go-lucky guy?” Baekhyun smiled as he avoided Jongin’s gaze. “Yeah, I think I kind of am.” Jongin chuckled. Baekhyun felt a pang of relief when he had finally managed a smile out of the tired looking boy.

“You can tell me.” He said as he looked at the charms that hung on his phone. Where did I get this many? And when did it get this heavy?

“Well…” He felt surprised that the boy was actually opening up to him. He waited expectantly, but turned back to the boy when the words never came. “Hey, you can’t just leave me hanging like that.”

Jongin looked up at the pouting Baekhyun. “I’m sorry.” He said with a smile, causing a contagious reaction for Baekhyun to smile as well. “It’s just that, Kyungsooooo……….”

“Huh?” Baekhyun couldn’t make out the last thing Jongin had mumbled. “I… Used to date Do Kyungsoo.”

Baekhyun felt his mouth open a bit. He didn’t really mind since Jongin did seem like that type of person. “Really?” He said as Jongin was staring back at his feet, digging deeper into the sand.

“Yeah, and then he got into the student council. And then we had to break up. And then I promised to act like I didn’t know him, he didn’t know me. And then he was walking too fast. And then he slipped on Luhan’s toy car. And then, and then, and then…” Jongin looked desperate. Baekhyun couldn’t help but feel sorry for the guy.

“Hey, don't force yourself.” Baekhyun said as he put an arm around Jongin. “Look, I don’t really understand this dating thing but I’ve seen the way Kyungsoo looks at you. You may pretend to not be together, but for the past 24 hours, he’s been looking only at you.” Baekhyun wasn’t lying. He had this habit of looking at people and reading into their minds (if that was even possible.) But it was for Baekhyun and Kyungsoo couldn’t stop glancing towards the tan boy, on the plane and as soon as the got there.

Jongin didn’t stir. Baekhyun didn’t know what he did but Jongin suddenly stood up, turned to Baekhyun with his normal big smile and said the words “thank you, Baek. Goodnight!” before turning around and heading back to the villa.

Baekhyun couldn’t help but feel alone once again. He decided to lie down on the bench and somehow forget to come back to the villa and accidentally fall asleep. He closed his eyes and let the sound of the water crashing against each other lull him to sleep.

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

Luhan paced back and forth in front of the door Baekhyun had directed him to. He was ruffling his hair and would constantly stop in front of the door and extend his hand to turn the gold-painted knob, but he didn’t. He spent probably 30 minutes, just pacing back and forth. Should he go in? What would Sehun think? Wouldn’t it be weird?

Luhan then remembered that this boy had avoided him the whole day. He had refused to sit beside him on the plane and had to force him to sit with him. He also had to go ahead and ask Baekhyun to share a room when they all knew that he would and should end up in the same room as Oh Sehun.

He felt his head go cloudy with the thoughts of Sehun clinging around Baekhyun. He was angry that he did his best to avoid the blonde boy. “God damn it,” he said as he finally turned the knob and slammed the door open. “-Oh Sehun!”

Sehun was lying down on the bed, astonishment in his face. He had had been on one of the reception candies as he watched a rerun of an episode from Pororo. “L-Luhan?” He shouted as the boy closed the door behind him, locking it in place. Sehun could hear the click as Luhan did so, a pang of fear slapping him in the head.

Luhan didn’t say anything as he made his way towards the bed where Sehun lay. “Hey, uh, where’s Baekhyun?” Luhan was frowning as he was standing beside the bed, looking down at the boy who wore a black pajama bottom and a white shirt on top.

Without warning, Luhan had grabbed both of Sehun’s wrists and pinned him down to the bed. Sehun was in a bit of a shock, the red confectionary nearly falling out of his mouth and landing on the white sheets. “L-Luhan, it’s going to fall.” He said as he tried to look at the direction of his mouth.

They just lay there, staring into each other’s eyes. Sehun looked returned Luhan’s angry eyes, it luring him into its depth. He felt like he was being entranced, his eyes not daring to blink. “Luhan…”

Luhan had ducked down and made for Sehun’s mouth, catching the sweet solid with his tongue. He pushed back into Sehun’s mouth, and Sehun moved it into the inside of his cheek. For minutes, their lips crashed against each other, the taste of cheap candy transferring from both their mouths.

Sehun had already felt his tongue wrestle with the older boy’s as he closed his eyes. He didn’t know what he was feeling. It was… good. He wanted so much more that he wrapped his arms around Luhan’s torso and pushed him unto him, enveloping him into an embrace.

Luhan’s eyes darted open, lips still on Sehun’s. He finally realized what was happening. He shut his eyes, hoping that this would last longer. That he Sehun wouldn’t let him go; that he wouldn’t think what he was doing was probably the worst thing he’d ever done in his life.

Luhan felt tears stream down his face. “I-I, love you.” Luhan said from under the small breaths he took from the kiss. “I love you so much.” He was hugging Sehun back now, his arms wrapped around the taller boy’s neck.

Sehun felt his heart rate go faster. He had opened his eyes as and broke the kiss, pushing Luhan up enough to see his face. The boy had tears in his eyes, sore from the stinging fluid. He lifted himself up and Luhan along with him, hugging the small boy in his arms as he sat upright.

“I… love you too.” He blurted out. Woah where did that come from? Sehun couldn’t believe he had said that but did not feel remorseful whatsoever. He didn’t want to let go of the trembling boy still wrapped in his arms. For a while he just sat there, hiding his blushing face from the boy who had already stopped his tears.

“…R-really?” Sehun heard doubt in Luhan’s voice. He had chewed the sweets in his mouth and swallowed it, finally turning to Luhan. “Yeah, I reaaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy do.” He said as he moved his hands towards Luhan’s cheeks and pulled them apart.

Luhan’s face twisted into a painful expression. When Sehun had finally let go, he brought both his hands to this face and cupped each cheek. “What’d you do that for?!” He shouted, genuinely surprised with the boy’s sudden actions. Sehun just shrugged and threw him a heartwarming smile.

Oh God, Luhan thought to himself. “Don’t smile.”

“Why? Is it bad that I smile after having the boy I like kiss me senseless?”

Luhan turned his head towards the windows, a light blush of pink painting his cheeks.

“You’re stupid.” Luhan snapped. 

“I know.”
