Chapter 7
Kai is Porn
I had to run to get to my seat in front of the stage just in time before the music started playing, thanks to my brain who took a moment to recover from Kai's spell.
Sehun, Kai and Lay lifted up their heads and looked at the crowd as the music begun. But there's only one thing different.
Kai is not looking at the crowd. Heck he's not even paying attention to anyone. His eyes are fix on one thing.
And that poor thing is me.
This is going to be the longest 3 minutes of my life.
I've seen them do this dance for like a thousand times and my mind on those times had been focused on perfecting the routine but right now it's different. Lay and Sehun is on a different level. They are looking at the audience with such teasing eyes and the music is not making things easy for the viewers.
Kai on the other hand is killing me.
Every move of his hips I need to hold my breath. Every lip bite, every smirk, every smile, and every time his blessed tongue will play on his lips I'm slowly losing my sanity. He never danced like this in our rehearsals. It's like I'm the only person he is dancing to. I think I'm not watching a dance performance, I believe I'm witnessing a live porn.
I literally forgot how to breath.
Damn those three for really slaying it!
When the song ended I let out a deep breath. I relaxed my body. I was clutching on my seat way too hard I can feel my hands getting numb.
Holy shit! What just happened?
The Auditorium is air-conditioned but I can feel my body heating up. I pray to God I'm not blushing or sweating.
My senses went back to me when I felt light taps on my back. My classmates are congratulating me. I looked at our professor and to the two more dance teachers that serves as judges. They are not showing any reaction, they're just too busy writing their evaluation.
A bottle of water waved in front of my face.
"You need this."
Cey drops the water bottle in my hands. I looked down to it and realized that she's right. I feel so thirsty right now but I doubt the water can quench my thirst, nonetheless I eagerly opened the bottle and drink from it.
The water is refreshing. It's calming my burning body.
"Congrats Krystal!"
I turned around to see who said it.
Baekhyun, Tao, Chanyeol and D.O were seating not far from our row.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.
"Supporting you of course! And cheering for those three." says Tao.
"Well the three of us are but not Beakhyun. He's here for Hera." says D.O.
"Of course not! I'm here to cheer for Krystal and the guys. Do you know how hard it is to cheer for guys while performing a sexy dance? I think some freshmen at the back are looking at us weirdly." says Baekhyun.
They stood up and went over to where I am.
"Cey!" they were a bit surprised when they noticed her beside me.
Chanyeol went up to her and hugged her. "We missed you. When will you hangout with us again?" he asks.
D.O. pinched Chanyeol's side. Chanyeol looks at him and D.O. widen his eyes, muttering something I didn't catch.
Chanyeol probably realized what D.O.'s trying to say and looked back to Cey with apologetic eyes. "Sorry, Cey."
Cey smiles at them. "It's okay. I see you're still the same Kyungsoo, taming them with your eyes." she said to D.O.
"But it's true we missed you Cey." says D.O. he has this smile on his face like he's really happy on seeing Cey again.
"Hangout with us again. Don't worry we will not invite Lu-" Tao didn't get to finish because D.O. elbowed him and Chanyeol and Baekhyun covered his mouth immediately.
Cey laughed. "Thanks Tao. Maybe next time." then she faced me again. "I have to go, I'm already late on my next class. I just have to give you that water."
She looked at me with meaningful eyes. Like she's conveying something else. What is it? And why does she have to give me water? I admit I really need it at the moment but how come I kinda feel there's something more to it than just simple water.
She smiled to me once more then bid goodbye to the four.
"Uhh..Krystal, by any chance ...do you know where Hera is?" Baekhyun asks shyly.
"See. I told you he only came here for Hera." says D.O.
"She's at the backstage but I'm not sure if will allow you there." I said while looking at our teacher. She's still absorbed on the final evaluation, the three of them are finalizing our scores since my team is the last group.
"Come on let's go there while she's still busy."
We went inside the backstage. Lay, Sehun and Kai are seating along with the other team's dancers. When they saw us coming they stood up and met us halfway. Baekhyun magically vanished behind the dancers, looking for Hera, no doubt.
"So what's your grade?" Lay asks.
"They're not yet done." I tried to smile at them but my heart had started going wild again and I'm finding it hard to look at Kai in the eyes.
"You guys did great. Wish I can dance like that." says Chanyeol.
They started complimenting their performance. I wanted to praise them too but I'm more focused on keeping myself calm. And I think they noticed it.
"Relax Krystal. Your choreography is great plus this guys really gave their hearts out into that performance." says Chanyeol.
"Yeah. You will ace this project, no doubt." says Tao.
"I thought you said you're not nervous at all." Sehun teases.
"Everything is going to be fine. Here have this candy." says Kai. He handed me a piece of candy. "That's Strawberry, my favorite."
I had no choose but to look at him in the eyes.
I flinched for a second. He's smiling at me with warm eyes. All mischievousness gone. All I can see is a shy guy who's a little flustered from his friends' compliments. He's rubbing the edge of his jawline, something I noticed he usually does when he's being shy.
What? He's back to adorable Kai now? After that freaking performance?!
Few more days with this guy and I'm sure my sanity will soon live my body.
0000000
He's sleeping again at the rooftop? Does he live here?
I put my hands on each side of my waist, looking down at the sleeping form of Kai in his favorite spot at the rooftop.
Seriously it's really cold out here and he didn't bring any jacket or scarf again. I squatted down beside him and tapped my hand lightly on his knees.
"Kai wake up."
He didn't budge.
"Hey, you need to wake up. Kai. Kai." I shook his shoulder.
Slowly his eyes opened up. "What?" he said with a little irritation.
"I said you need to wake up. You'll end up sick from always sleeping here."
He's brows knitted. "How did you know I always sleep here?"
Oh shit!
"I uhh... I saw you here the other day." I said, I turn my gaze on my shoes, why do I feel embarrassed because of that?
"Oh. So this one is yours." he grabbed the paper bag beside him and pulled out my scarf.
I nodded. "You look exhausted that time and the day haven't even started so I didn't want to wake you but it's really cold out here so I covered you with that.." I stretch out my hand for my scarf but he pulled it away from my reach.
"It's really warm. Can I use it every time I sleep here?" he said, he hugs my scarf inhaling it.
"Why do you sleep here anyway?" I sat down in front of him. That scarf is my favorite one but seeing his joyful face while hugging it, I really don't have the desire to take that away from him. He's like a kid on Christmas day after unwrapping his presents.
"It's a nice place for naps." he said.
"I can see that." I said with sarcasm. "But at least put a jacket on or blanket. Don't push your body to extremes." I said with concern.
His eyebrow cocked up. "You seem pretty concern, aren't you Krystal?"
I don't like the way my stomach flutter upon hearing him say my name. Damn, why is he always teasing me with those deep voice?!
"O-of course I'm concern! You're my friend." I said firmly, trying to hide my flustered face.
"Friend? I don't think we're friends."
I wasn't expecting that. All along I thought we had somehow became friends.
"We're far from friends." he added.
My gaze fell down to the floor. I feel pain in my heart. Why does this hurt?
"There's something I want you too see." he said. I feel so down I have no energy to respond to him. But he took my silence as an opportunity to grab my hand and pulled me into his lap. My eyes widen in surprise.
"What are you doing?!" I tried to push myself up from his body.
"You need to come closer to see this." he pulls his front collar down to reveal his collarbones. I want to cover my eyes because that's what my brain's initial reaction but my attention got caught by the small pinkish bruise with tiny red spots right under his right collarbone.
My fingers touched the skin lightly. "What happened to you?"
"You don't remember?"
"I don't remember hitting you." I said defensively.
"And you also don't remember when you gave me hickeys?"
My heart stopped from beating.
I pulled my hand away from his skin quickly like I just got burn from touching it.
"T-That that's n-not a..a h-hickey."
"This is the last one and the biggest one. Most of them were gone now. Do you have any idea on my struggle buying concealers and putting them to cover up those hickeys that you gave me?"
"I.. I.."
"You're unfair. You pleaded me not to give you any kiss marks and I obliged though I had no idea how I managed but then you.. you're a monster." he said with all seriousness like we are talking something really important here that our lives depended on it.
I can feel my cheeks burning from heat. "T-That's ..that's not t-true."
"I think it is only fair if I'll leave you with one too, don't you think?"
Before I can realize what he just said, I flinched when I felt his hot mouth at my exposed collarbone. My eyes shut tightly as he nibbles on my skin. His teeth biting me roughly, sucking on the flesh. A moan escaped from my lips when I felt his tongue taste my skin.
My hands went to his soft hair. I want to push his head away from me but my hands had a mind of their own. Instead of pushing him out, my hands gripped his scalp tightly pulling him more to me. His mouth went up to my neck, kissing and nibbling. I tilted my head to give him more access.
He reached my earlobe. His tongue played with my ear, jolts of tingling electricity ran through my body. He suddenly bites my earlobe making me gasp.
"Kai!"
He let out a groan and continued with his assault going down to my neck again and into my jawline. I'm melting in his arms but I want more. I need more.
My hips moved. I grind on his lap. He let out a soft gasp, his head rolled up, his eyes closed tightly. His reaction is priceless, it's giving me confidence to continue. I straddled him more. Grinding myself harder on his apparent bulge under his pants.
I'm having a hard time controlling my breathing and I can see it's also the same to him. It feels good but when he started meeting my hard thrust with his hips I had to gasp on another wave of pleasure. My forehead rested on his but I kept my eyes closed.
"Friends don't so this kind of thing." he said with difficulty.
"That's why ...we need ...to ...s-stop..so... so we can be ...f-friends." I said through pants.
"Y-Yeah... we should stop.." he said, nodding his head slightly.
But neither of us are stopping.
But we have to.
I put my hands on each side of his shoulders, I want to push myself up but my hands are not following me right now. Kai must have realized what I'm doing but instead of freeing me, he even tighten his grip on my waist. Guiding me on dry humping him.
"Krystal."
I opened my eyes. His eyes were on me. His brown hue darken with lust. Before I can say anything he conquered my lips in one swift move.
And in one swift motion I fell from my bed.
I opened my eyes in the surroundings of my bedroom.
What the hell! It's just a dream?!
000000000
Everybody congratulated me.
The results of our Choreography projects were revealed the following day. To everyone's expectation I got the highest score. I'm really happy. Words can't describe how I feel right now. I know it's just a simple project but it means a lot to me. It was my very first project here at SAA. Honestly I've been having doubts about my skills ever since I've moved in this school. Being surrounded by overly talented people is somewhat intimidating.
But this achievement is like an energy booster to me. I feel so light from happiness and at the same time so embarrassed. My classmates have been complimenting me nonstop that I have to hide from them to escape.
I just found my feet dragging me to a place I knew they will not find me.
The rooftop.
I opened the door slowly and entered the rooftop carefully. Like the first time, the view of the school grounds below captivates me. I run towards the edge and inhaled the cool breeze of Autumn.
Man, I'll never get tired of this season.
"Beautiful, isn't?"
I almost scream. I turned around and saw Kai. He's seating at the same spot from where he's sleeping the other day (and on my dream). His hands playing at the little round pillow that he had over his lap. His paper bag (for some weird reason I never saw him in bag pack, he always have these cute paper bags with him, I don't think he even owns a bag) laying beside him as well as his phone and headset.
I'm frozen on my feet. Dreams are meant to be forgotten when one wakes up but I can remember my dream vividly down to the very last detail.
Kai's playful eyes turned to concern ones when I didn't respond nor react of any kind. "Hey, are you okay?"
He stood up and started walking towards me.
I hold up my hand. "Stop!"
He stopped halfway.
"J-Just ..just s-stay there."
I can see that my reaction made him worry more but he obliged and stood still on his feet. I breath through my mouth and closed my eyes as I counted from 1-20 to calm myself.
When I opened my eyes Kai is not standing there anymore. He's back in his previous spot, he's trying to fish something out of his paper bag. He pulled a dark blue scarf from it and turned to face me.
"It's cold out here." he raised his hand offering me my scarf.
I closed my eyes again and this time I counted 1-50. When I re-opened them Kai is still there, standing still and watching me with concern. My scarf is in his hands. I looked at it intently, remembering why I gave it to him in the first place.
"Listen," I took a deep breath before continuing "If you ever need any help...just..just call me okay?"
He looked surprised. Brows knitted and lips pouted a little.
"Anything. It could be academics or other stuff. Just...let me know. I'll gladly help."
"You sure you're okay?" he asks.
"I'm fine, listen to me." I said, getting a little impatient. "I know you've tired yourself these past few weeks that's why you've been sleeping here often an-"
"How did you know I sleep here?"
Oh shit!
I can't believe I let myself fall into this again.
"That's mine." I pointed at the scarf he's holding.
He looked down to my scarf and smiled sweetly to it. What's up with him? Why is he being cute like that? He's making it hard for me to concentrate.
He walked to my side real quick I had no time to stop him. Within seconds he's already in front of me.
"Thank you." he said then hands out my scarf to me. I got surprised. He's doing the opposite of what dream Kai did.
I shook my head. "No. Keep it." I push his hand back to him gently. "You need it more than I do since you're always here."
He smiled at me. I had to hold my breath for a second because he is so captivating. "Thank you." he said again while still smiling at me genuinely.
His smile can light up the whole world. And I'm not exaggerating. It's so warm and bright. I have a love-hate feelings towards his smirks but this smile, I only have room for admiration.
This guy is really something.
0000000
I was feeling a little light headed throughout the afternoon. I can't seem to erase Kai's smiling face in my mind. Whenever I see tall guys I always had this weird feeling that they will turn and it will be Kai, smiling at me with his perfect white teeth. Even when I close my eyes I can see him smiling at me.
Damn! I knew I will lose my sanity within a few days and I think it had started.
I walked towards the school gates. I missed my car on times like this. If only I have patience in driving it for hours I wouldn't be having this problem. I sighed.
"CONGRATULATIONS!"
I flinched. 12 boys jumped in front of me out of nowhere. They had their hands raised up high, all grinning at me happily.
"Jesus! You guys are going to kill me!" I told them while clutching my chest. That really gave me a fright. I can hear my heart pounding in my chest.
"Congratulations Krystal!" they surrounded me then taps my head enthusiastically. I'm surprised that even Kai did it.
"Good job on your Choreography project." says Kris, giving me a thumbs up.
"How did you guys...?"
"My fault!" a hand raised behind the towering men. They parted a little bit for me to see who it was.
"Yuri?"
She walked towards me and leans her arm at Lay's shoulder. "I texted Lay since he's in your team so eventually the whole pack got the news." she said. All of them nodding their heads.
"Besides we are all Dance Majors too, news like that easily get spread throughout the department, even throughout the whole school." says Xiumin.
"It's not just me. I have to share the credit to my amazing dancers too. They slayed the dance floor!"
"They would not be called Dancing King if they suck, would they?" says Baekhyun.
We laughed. Somehow this feels right. I think I've received hundreds of praises for today and it only made me feel embarrass but getting it from these guys is different. I feel comfortable with them.
I smile as I feel relieved. "Since all of you are here I'll seize this opportunity to thank you all. From the first day I got here all of you have been friendly to me. You made me feel like I belong here and I really enjoy your company. All your craziness and silliness. I love it."
"Awwwwww." they said in unison.
"It came from the bottom of my heart so you better believe me. And to show my gratitude I'll treat you all today!"
"Yeeeeeyyyy!" They yelled joyfully. Seriously, this guys may seem grown ups but in reality they are still kids at heart.
"Yehet!" says Sehun.
"Kkeap song!" says Baekhyun.
"So what do you all wanna eat?"
"Ice cream!"
"Bubble Tea!"
"Coffee and bread!"
"Jajangmyeon!"
"Cake!"
"Chicken!"
All of them are saying different things at once. Suho and Kris (Jajangmyeon) started arguing with Kai (Chicken), clearly oppose with his choice of food. Luhan and Xiumin (Coffee and bread) are having a scream war with Sehun and Chen (Bubble Tea). Baekhyun and Chanyeol keeps chanting 'Ice cream! Ice cream!' while Tao and Lay does the same with 'Cake! Cake! Cake!'. D.O. on the other hand just stands between them all, looking like a boss and not giving a damn about anything.
"Are they always like that?" I ask Yuri.
"All the time. But there were also times when their stomach were in sync but clearly it's not today." she said with a sigh.
"So which one should we choose then?"
"Hi Yuri. Hi Krystal."
Yuri and I turned. It was Hera. "Oh Hi Hera."
Upon the mention of Hera's name, Baekhyun suddenly appeared beside her. "Hi Hera. How's your day?" he said sheepishly.
Yuri and I had to cover our laughs. Baekhyun looks like a tamed cat whenever Hera's around.
"Doing good so far. You?" Hera's well aware of Baekhyun's affection for her but somehow I never saw her reciprocating that affection. It makes me wonder if she already put him on friend zone and if he's even aware of it.
"It's good now 'cuz I got to see you before leaving." he said. We cringed in his cheesiness but I salute this guy. He's not afraid to show what he really feels. "Are you going to work today?"
"Oh yeah, you work at the new cafe." I said, remembering the reason why she's always late.
"Yes. I already asks my manager to change my shifts. I can't afford getting anymore tardy notes or Ms. Lee will drop me in her class." she says.
An idea popped in my mind.
"How about we eat at the new cafe?"
10 arguing guys stopped and looked at me. I knew I hit the jackpot when they all flash me their innocent smiles.
The new cafe it is!
Feeding 12 people is no joke but feeding 12 wolves is a suicide. At the end of the day I realized I was broke. Damn those hungry beasts!
Chanyeol offered me a ride home since he brought his car today and my house is just a few blocks away from his. Chanyeol already feels like a big brother to me so I enjoyed the ride except that time when we said our goodbyes to everyone. After I hopped in his car, Chanyeol called out Kai. Kai whose walking towards Suho's car along with Sehun and Baekhyun turned to us.
"Kai, don't worry about your girl. I'll drive her home safe." Chanyeol shouted before closing my door.
That time I seriously thought of beating him and pushing his car off a cliff.
I was putting my freshly washed clothes in the dryer when I felt my phone vibrate inside my pants.
Kai calling...
Well this is a first. I slide the green button.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Krystal?"
His deep voice gets me every time. I don't know what is in his voice that always makes me feel something I never felt with anybody else. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad one.
"Yes?"
"Are you free today?"
I look down at my chore. "I'm in laundry duty today but I'm almost done anyway so I guess yeah... I'm free. Why?"
"You remember yesterday when you said I can ask you for anything?"
"Yeah?"
He paused for a moment. I can sense he is smirking right now. Am I going to regret I offered him my help?
"Meet me at the NorthWest Mall quarter to 11."
"What?"
"Don't be late." he said sounding amused then he ended the call.
