Chapter Eighty-eight (1/2)

Seokmin clapped his hands as it was nearing time to go home.  However, he still needed to introduce the song.  He texted Jeonghan he'd be a little late, as he was mostly focused on his high notes.  Being emotional with Sungjae, Seokmin hasn't had the confidence to do his high note correctly, and he only has until Friday to perfect it.

However, now it's time to introduce the song.  "Okay, so the first verse is supposed to be light-hearted."  He said.

"That'd be my line, right?"  A student raised his hand.  "I'm light-hearted."

"Uhm.. No, Jongho.."  Seokmin frowned.  "You're not light at all when it comes to singing.  You have the high notes toward the end of the song."  He explained.

Jongho frowned.  "That's it?  Just high notes?"  He asked in an upset tone.  "Tell Woozi that's not fair."  He said.

"Once Woozi decides on a line for someone, that's it."  Seokmin sighed.  "Sorry, Jongho."  He said.

"I know you can convince him,"  Jongho started, "my voice is literally the best after yours, Sunbae."  He said in a charming tone.

Seokmin sighed.  "I looked through the song already, no line would be better with you singing it."  He said.

Jongho put his hands together.  "Please, Seokmin-hyung!"  He begged.  "My voice is powerful enough, maybe I could do it as a solo instead."  He suggested.

"Listen to your hyung.  I say no."  He said.  "Now I would like to go to Sunggyu for the opening line."  He said with a comforting smile.

Jongho scoffed.  "Sunggyu?  You're seriously gonna give an ancient guy the opening line for a play?"  He asked in disbelief.

Sunggyu sighed.  "One, I'm literally right here.  Two, I'm not ancient.  Three, it's not an opening to a play.  It's an opening to a song."  The older said.

"Whatever, you're old enough to be my grandpa."  Jongho rolled his eyes.

"He's only ten years older than you."  Seokmin said with wide eyes.

Sunggyu held his chin.  "I guess I could be a time traveler.. but I doubt it."  He said. Seokmin breathed in and out.  "Let's just practice the song," He instructed, "Woozi made copies for every student.  Please start learning your lines."  He said.

"I still think I deserve more lines.."  Jongho grumbled.

"Just make sure you're loud and proud with the parts you did get, okay?"  Seokmin smiled at him.

Jongho rolled his eyes.  "Fine.. But can the janitor come back a different time?  He's distracting me."  He said in a pout.

Seokmin turned around to see Mingi in a janitor's uniform.  "To be fair, you guys normally don't come here to practice on Saturdays."  He said, holding the mop handle in the carriage.

"Never would think I would see you in a janitor outfit.."  Seokmin commented.

"Gotta get free lunches somehow."  Mingi smirked and leaned back against the wall.

Seokmin held his chin.  "Is it really free if you're scrubbing toilets on your days off?"  He asked.

"Well.. I only have to scrub one hundred toilets in two days.. then I get seven days of free lunch."  He folded his arms.  "Anything I want to eat and as much as I want.  And I get proper sanitation stuff, so.."  He shrugged.

"Anything..?"  Seokmin raised an eyebrow.

Mingi nodded.  "You want to get lunch with me tomorrow?"  He asked.

"Sunday is pizza day.."  He thought aloud.  "Sure."

"See how this guy is a distraction..?"  Jongho looked at <you> you </you> with a smile.

Mingi smiled.  "Cool, see you at noon."  He waved.  "Someone dumped some paint outside, so I'm going to clean the sidewalk."  He pointed before leaving.

Seokmin held his hair, fixing it a bit.  "Cya.." He watched the other leave.  "Okay, your distraction is gone."  He turned to Jongho.

"Mhm, yes, your distraction is."  Jongho smirked.

"I only noticed him because you pointed him out!"  Seokmin said defensively.  "Now go in the back as I start teaching."  He pointed.

Jongho furrowed his eyebrows.  "But-" "In the back, Jongho."  He pointed again.

Jongho walked to the back of the row of seats.  The other students there were silent as Seokmin started singing the opening.

*** Jaemin lays down in his casual, lego night shirt with a pair of sweatpants.  His arm automatically goes around the older boy and his lips find their way to Joshua's neck, giving little kisses there that makes the stone-wall expression of the older fade into a smile.

"Jae.."  He giggled.

"I'm so sorry for not talking this week.. I've just been spacing out so much."  Jaemin said, resting his body on top of the other.

Joshua looked into the younger's eyes and nodded.  "Okay.. What were you spacing out so much for?"  He asked, subtly biting his lip when he felt their hips come together.

"I don't know, Jeonghan says I'm bored.."  Jaemin said.  "I think I just want more of you."  He whispered deeply against Joshua's ear.

Joshua blushed as he felt the boy's hands go up his shirt.  They get made fun of for only making love once a month.  They get made fun of because they're not hormone-crazy like Woozi is.  Most nights Jaemin stays over, there are only cuddles.  But this time, Joshua can feel that Jaemin wants more than just a cuddle tonight.

Quite frankly, Joshua's relieved that nothing bad happened to the younger during the week.  He brings Jaemin closer in the small grinding, their lips coming together to let their tongues play.

Jaemin had a different approach this time.  Instead of being gentle, he went for the wild side.  Joshua always teases him for being so soft and gentle every time.  This time, he didn't ask to take down the boy's pants.  He didn't ask if he could put smothering kisses all over Joshua's face while pumping his member.

Joshua moaned as he held the boy's shoulders.  Jaemin's free hand went to the lotion in the drawer followed by a condom.  He didn't ask to put his fingers inside the older, he just did it.  He could feel the boy tense, but he didn't stop.  Words from earlier made him stronger: once you spend enough time with your loved ones, things just come naturally.

Jaemin felt that their love-making is coming naturally today.  That there didn't need to be any words between them to know that their emotions were dancing together.  "Jae..”  Joshua moaned when the younger pressed the right button inside him. He rolled the condom down his length and moved himself to enter the boy.  Joshua held his shoulders tighter as Jaemin made them one.  Jaemin's plump lips go from Joshua's lips to his neck, putting little marks there as he thrusted deep and hard into the boy. Joshua furrows his eyebrows as he felt Jaemin's hand grasp his member and his teeth sink into his skin.  He moaned in pain, but the boy kept going.  He didn't stop when Joshua stopped moaning in pleasure; he didn't stop when Joshua dug his nails into the boy's shoulders, past his shirt.

The last straw was when Jaemin bit him deeply under his jaw.  He forcefully shoved the male off of him.  Jaemin fell on his butt onto the floor, making a loud bang.  He looked up at Joshua with wide eyes.  "Josh-"

"What's wrong with you?!"  Joshua asked, pulling up the covers.  "First you don't talk to me, now it's like you're a whole different person."

Jaemin put his knees together.  "What's wrong?  What did I do?"  He asked.
