[Back to Seoho]

We disembarked the plane and took in the familiar sight of JFK. Dongju ran around excitedly while Youngjo and I carried Keonhee who was too weak to walk alone. We sat him down then Youngjo took off to find medicine.

"Do you feel any hotter?" I asked as I handed him water.

"I'm cold..." he said in a small voice.

He leaned against me and I could feel the heat radiating off of him. You could cook a whole breakfast on him. I tried fanning him despite him claiming to be cold.

"How is he?" Geonhak asked as he brought back orange juice.

"Could be better. Though, we should probably get him to a bed." I suggested before nicely asking Keonhee to get up.

"Where are you going?" Youngjo asked as he had come back.

"Finding a bed he could rest on. Well, we already set up in a nearby hotel, so we'll just bring him there." I said then received help from Youngjo.

ㅠㅛㅠㅛ

I placed the washcloth on his forehead then turned around at the sound of the door opening. I frowned as he walked over.

"Don't start trouble, Dongju." I warned.

"I'm not an asshole. Just want to see how he's doing..." said Dongju as he looked at Keonhee.

"He's getting better thanks to the medicine and rest." I said as I patted Keonhee's arm. "You mind watching over him? I'm starving and those other idiots wouldn't bring me anything."

"Yeah, sure. Don't worry, I won't do anything." he said as he pushed me out.

I walked to the fridge then took out the fruit we had swiped from the supermarket. Then again, was it really swiping if there wasn't a person to swipe it from? I shrugged then popped a few more grapes into my mouth. Things were quiet and I couldn't decide whether that was a good or bad thing. I took the grapes with me as I poked my head into the room. My eyes then landed on their hands.

"Is Dongju a tsundere?" I thought as I looked at their joined hands. "Maybe he just feels guilty or something..."

I started to wonder who Keonhee thought was holding his hand. His mother? Girlfriend or boyfriend? Someone other than Dongju? It would be hard to believe that Keonhee would want to hold hands with Dongju.

"Who we spying on?" I heard someone whisper.

"Tom and Jerry." I replied then whipped my head back to see who it was. "Hwan? I thought you went out with Youngjo."

"I did, but I came back. Thought you might need help." he answered before looking back at the duo in the room.

"You know, you should be selfish once in a while. Do things you want and not think of anyone else." I said before stepping into the room.

I knocked on the door then watched as Dongju quickly retracted his hand. That was proof enough, but I decided to leave it be for now.

"Thanks, Ju. Go be a teen and do teen stuff." I said while ushering him out.

Hwanwoong snuck in before I closed the door in Dongju's face. I locked the door then sighed.

"So, we're alone. In a room. With a sick guy. I've read and watched enough content to know what happens next." said Hwanwoong.

"What's next?" I asked as I changed the washcloth.

"Either sexual or romantic tension that has been building up is released and the sick person is completely oblivious or it goes the thriller route." he said as he ate a grape.

I looked at him in disbelief at his knowledge. I decided to remain silent as I placed the new cold cloth on Keonhee's forehead.

"Well, seeing as how there isn't either tension between us, I guess that just leaves the thriller." I said, avoiding Hwanwoong's eyes.

"Yeah" was all he said in response. The room was now silent except for the faint sounds of our breathing. It was moments like this that I wish I had a board game or something. I quietly looked through drawers then spotted a pack of cards.

"How convenient." I thought as I walked back over to my seat.

"Strip poker?" asked Hwanwoong as I pulled out the jokers.

"N- No..." I stuttered before shuffling the cards and dealing. "Black Jack."

"Oh" was all he said in response. How was one to play strip poker any way? I didn't want to ask in fear of him getting ideas. We started up our game and made sure not to slam on the table too hard. At one point it was hard to tell who'd win. I quietly cheered as I had beat Hwanwoong.

"Cheater." hissed Hwanwoong.

"Only sore losers say that." I replied as I sat back down.

He pouted as he rested his cheek in the palm of his hand. He was cute when he pouted. I wiped the thought from my mind then reached for another grape. Our hands touched and caused me to look at him. I pulled away then told him to go ahead. I took a grape after him then decided to let go a bit.

"Why don't we play strip poker?" I quietly suggested.

"You sure? We don't have to you know. Especially if you aren't comfortable." he said with a worried look.

"I want to try it. Besides, it's just going to be us and there isn't any drinking involved, so I'm not worried." I said while smiling. "Basically, I'm saying I trust you and am willing to play."

"Well, if you're completely sure." said Hwanwoong who gestured for me to follow him. We didn't want to disturb Keonhee with our game. "I'll explain in the other room."

ㅠㅛㅠㅛ

We ended playing in another suite in case the others came back from their sightseeing. I stared intently at the cards in Hwanwoong's hand. A part of me felt he rigged the game as he hasn't lost any articles of clothing. I had lost all of my accessories and my shirt so far. Him? Nothing.

"Ready to lose?" Hwanwoong said with a smirk.

"Bite me." I retorted before placing my hand down along with him. My eyes grew wide and I leapt out of my seat in joy. "Finally!"

I expected him to be upset, but instead he laughed. My eyes softened at the sight. I sat back down then watched as he removed all of his jewelry. We gave each other a smile then he dealt a new hand to the both of us. I checked mine then internally sighed. It could've been a better hand. We wagered items and I counted off. We revealed our hands. I won again.

"Well, as the rule states, I have to take it off sexily." he said with a sigh.

He was probably regretting the rules he set up. I patiently waited as he rose from his seat. My eyes followed his hands as they slowly started to reveal his torso. I couldn't deny how alluring it all looked as he moved his body. I found myself shifting slightly as he had finally taken it off. I rapidly blinked and averted my gaze. I never knew his body could move like that.

"So, let's continue?" he said with an innocent smile as if he didn't just take off his shirt in an alluring way.

"Yeah..." I replied as I continued to shift in my seat.

Another round was played and once again Hwanwoong had lost. I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch or not. I gently slapped my cheeks. Why should it matter if I watch? We were both men. He didn't have anything I haven't seen before. Hwanwoong sighed then moved to the side of the table.

"You know, you have the option to deny..." I said quietly.

"It's fine. I don't mind really." he said as he pulled off his belt.

I bit down hard on my lip as I watched him slip his pants off. I started to shift again then finally realized what I was doing. It was turning me on. My face flushed as Hwanwoong was nearly done stripping. I was deeply embarrassed by the fact I was getting turned on by a male. I quickly left my seat and locked myself in the bathroom. I decided to look myself over then felt fear well up inside me. It wasn't happening, I didn't want to believe. I was hard and slightly oozing pre-cum.

"Seo? Is everything okay? Should we stop?" asked Hwanwoong from the other side.

I couldn't walk out with this obvious erection. I didn't necessarily want to, but it certainly would make things go faster.

"I'm fine. Let's end it here. Could you go check on Keonhee for me? I might be awhile." I replied then sat on the floor.

"Okay... Call me if you need anything." he said before walking away.

I waited until I heard the door close to touch myself. Small moans escaped my lips as my mind brought up Hwanwoong's stripping scenes. I was too far in to care at that point. I often moaned his name as well. My moaning steadily grew louder the closer I came to reaching my climax. My mind continued to run wild with thoughts of Hwanwoong until my body couldn't take it anymore and released. I panted heavily then groaned softly as a bit of cum had gotten on my pants.

ㅠㅛㅠㅛ

I stepped out of the bathroom then froze. Horror filled my face as I stood face to face with Hwanwoong. My eyes darted everywhere as my heart rate rose to an amazing speed.

"I-" I said but was instantly cut off.

"What the fuck." Hwanwoong said bitterly.

"How much did you hear...?" I asked cautiously.

"Enough." he replied with his arms crossed. "I can't believe you, Seoho..."

I watched him walk away then felt my legs give out on me. Would he tell the others? Would he start avoiding me? I started to feel sick. I couldn't find the heart to face any of them.
