Yeonjun looks at Kai the whole time, it has been almost an hour now since they returned from dinner, the blonde boy doesn't even spare him a glance. Only giggling and glancing at the mobile(he hopes it isn't Soobin) and he knows that they can't go further like this.
They were after all supposed to be grossly in love and shit. But here they were, not even glancing at each other, hell to it actually, because even talking to each other seems a far cry.
He clears his throat and waits for the boy to glance in his way, but the blonde perhaps perceives him as an absolute stone at this point by the way he absolutely doesn't move to acknowledge him.
"Hue-huening Kai" His voice embarrassingly cracks, and he can feel his ears burning. The blonde glances at him bored, lifting an eyebrow.
He is sprawled on the couch, a leg hanging off the arm.
"We need to get it together if we have to win, today you weren't there when the match finished and people were all antsy about it" Yeonjun managed to croak out despite the intense stare burning holes in his head.
"Oh?" The tone is really deep and Yeonjun gulps, there is a hint of annoyance and anger and he isn't sure on what to expect from an angry Kai. The boy was strong despite everything, so if he gets thrown out he wouldn't be too surprised.
"This is wasn't the case when you were blatantly ignoring me? and you were the one who did not approach me during the lunch, busy talking with that blonde woman. So I did not see the use of me being there when it's clear you did not want me there" Huening Kai says, his voice monotone and not a hint of emotions Yeonjun sensed earlier.
He finally looks up and the boy is looking at him with cold, empty eyes.
"I wasn't- I just did not..I wasn't hungry and then you were with Brian so I-"
"It's amazing how you are always spewing excuses, if you hated kissing me that much, you could have just said that, rather than being a jerk about it, I mean I thought you changed but looks like you never did" Huening Kai scoffs and rolls his eyes.
"It's not that" Yeonjun rushes to say worried but Kai only steps aside and slams the door shut, leaving Yeonjun inside with a ugly feeling in his chest.
"It doesn't matter anyway, this means nothing" Kai peers back to say to him before presenting a cynical smile and disappearing away.
"God I am such an idiot" the blue head grunts, jumping on the bed and groaning into the pillow. He jerks a little at the wet feeling and oh, he is crying.
The white pillowcase is dark with his tears and he sniffles replaying Kai's words and that hurt, he did change. He was a real douchebag in school, but that as before he discovered he was gay. Now he isn't like that, he stands up for people and doesn't stay quiet like he did before.
He loved Kai, the kind smiles and the soft nature, the delicacy with which he handles animals and people alike.
The selfless empathy he has, the way he looks about other's comfort over his own. Huening Kai was a shining star, burning so bright and emanated so much positivity around him that there is no chance for the others to not melt at the man.
Yeonjun was just another one of them, the ones who had fallen hard for the magnetic aura of the sweet blonde.
He loved kissing him, and loved the thought of his love being reciprocated. The thought of being that one special one, who finally gets to revolve around his sun rather than being one of the million stars who from the far admire the huge ball of fluff.
It's an amazing thought, as impossible as it was amazing. He should have held Kai at first, regardless of the stupid school politics and now it's too late, he let go the most beautiful thing that ever happened to him. He just deserve someone like Kai, so precious and painfully beautiful inside out.
The next time Yeonjun opens his eyes, he feels bleary and his eyes feel dry and they burn. He blinks, to discover that the lights have been turned off and there is even breathing hear in the quiet room along with the silent hum of the AC.
He turns a little and feels a blanket draped on him, he remembers having done no such thing such as draping his blanket. He faces the other side and comes face to face with Kai who looks utterly ethereal with the moonlight pouring on his skin.
It's no surprise who would have draped the blanket and his heart throbs.
Despite being angry Kai is just so kind and Yeonjun aches to have hurt such a human. He sighs and snuggles to the cover wrapping the blanket around him tightly.
What he doesn't notice is that the slow breaths have quickened and the blonde boy looks at him softly, a mix of anger and fondness in his gaze.
Something only Yeonjun brings out of him, the blue head brings out the worst and best in him subsequently. Kai doesn't know how that's possible, but Yeonjun somehow makes it work.
He raises a hesitant hand and tucks the stray blue lock of hair, letting his hand linger on the soft cheek a little longer, "Why do you push me away? I know you like me so why? why do you hurt me and yourself too. I don't know why I love an idiot like you"
Kai sighs and drops a small kiss on the elder's forehead and quickly faces away before he gets all teary from feelings leaking out of him. It doesn't work, because regardless his tears flow freely, the moon being the only witness to his pain.
----
The next morning doesn't go any better, if anything it gets even worse between them. Huening Kai resorts to calling Soobin to distract himself from the situation. However they do remain cautious outside in front of the others, making sure to put in extra effort to look like the couple they were painted to be on the first day.
It's plain exhausting to act all couple-ley an then act like nothing affects them, going back to ignoring each other. Yeonjun goes to great lengths and it leaves Kai half amused and half frustrated but he isn't going beg for affection.
If Yeonjun doesn't care then Huening Kai doesn't see any reason for him to hold on. It doesn't mean anything, the meaningless kisses (they are too passionate and filled with desperation and Kai almost wants to believe it) and the sweet whispers (they sound too intimate) in front of their audience.
"For the next round ladies and gentlemen, you will have a fashion runaway game, much like the first one, if you are eliminated then you will be sent home" The suited man announces, hands clasped in front of him with a smile.
"There were eliminations last round?" Kai whispers surprised to Brian who nods at him eagerly. "Yes, the suit couple couldn't make it, but they did not look that sad about it. If anything they were oddly happy about it" Brian says back animated, and eyes huge. Kai smiles a little at that, the boy was adorable.
"Oh, Well good luck this round!" Kai says with a bright smile and Brian parrots back even more enthusiastic. "Please go through the instructions and theme, and then you are to select outfits for your partner and then couple runaway. The judges will then judge you on the runaway" The man says and then steps down.
Huening Kai and Yeonjun share a scripted fond glance with a smile before receiving the rule book. The theme is seven sins and their topic has Kai widening his eyes.
"LUST" It is printed in bold and Kai knows he is fucked, Yeonjun looks at him panicked and then they lift their eyes to see the lesbian couple which came first in the escape room looking at them directly, the book hangs from the shorter woman's hand and the word, "LUST" is unmistakably printed there.
Well looks like they were going to go a notch up now to defeat the women, and this proves hard when the two are shit at communicating. Kai shrinks, Yeonjun gleams.
