being called backstage without a reason, twenty can't help but burst at what the older male had said to him. ❝this is your back up plan, me having a solo?!❞

jiro flinched at how harsh his tone was also took a small apologetic bow to the organizers that passed by them and, unfortunately, having to witness a sight of a half thai not being able to hold back his temper. ❝look, let me explain—❞

twenty was quick to cut him off. ❝why didn't you say that to me days ago!❞

the taller heaved out a sigh at how he really can't keep his voice down. ❝you went to catch up with yanna while i was about to.❞

groaning, he ran a had through his soft locks while glaring his eyes up at the older. ❝the following days?❞

❝soccer practice,❞ jiro said, talking about himself. though, he was quite privilege in that sport since he's the coach's favorite. ❝and you were busy mourning, about how much you miss jeffrey, with jun.❞

twenty squinted his eyes at him, finding it strange as to how he knew that he was with jun most of the time. ❝still, i'm not doing it.❞

❝i can't just cancel it in the last minute, we are already in the line up for the program.❞ the taller male explained, hoping that he could convince him. ❝and plus, you'll finally get to see jeffrey today, one week is up. don't you think it'll be a great surprise for him?❞

❝what do you want me to do, dance dally by hyolyn and show the whole world that this school raised a hoe?❞

having them lock gazes, that suddenly gave the park an idea that made him show a knowing grin. twenty had his lips curved down and arms folded across his chest with a look of disapproval.

❝principal moon is going to kill me, he's going to report me to the my parents—❞ just when the younger male was stating his reasons in this stupid plan of the other, the park had already said something.

❝on the bright side, i'm going to join you up stage if you'd dance to it.❞ a good bargain if you ask jiro.

and it's somehow also convincing twenty a slight bit. ❝you would, really?❞

he could see that even if the younger male badly wanted to back out before he embarrasses himself, he also didn't want to disappoint the student council who had worked hard to make this event possible for everyone. which is why, there's no way jiro would leave him to it as this is also his responsibility. ❝come on, we still have enough time to plan for it and have a short practice, and change some parts.❞

either they are going to bring this embarrassment to their graves, or they are going to burn the stage— alongside having their the love of their lives watching it all happen.

❝jeffrey hyung!❞

getting inside the campus with his casual attire on, a plain white shirt and ripped jeans with white sneakers, the said male let out a light chuckle when he was greeted by someone jumping towards him and engulfing him in a tight hug. ❝chan, did you miss me that much?❞

putting his feet back down on the ground, the younger showed a face that was near to crying. lifting his clipboard up, chan lightly smacked his chest with it. ❝i was dumped with your responsibilities, dumbass!❞

jeffrey laughed before ruffling his hair and thrown an arm over his shoulders. ❝i mean, you are going to replace my spot once i graduate.❞

❝nope, not going to happen. i'm giving it to jin, and i am going to be living the most of my last year!❞ chan said with full determination, encouraging himself to turn every offer down of him being a teacher's pet, a leader, or any time of position that'll cause him to be so busy. unlike this wong right here, he wants to have enjoy his youth and also have more time with his boyfriend more.

as the two of them were passing down the stalls and booths that lined up for their university's founder's week, couple of students actually came to have a conversation with them and also had interrogated jeffrey with his absence. they were quite nosy, but the wong was honest enough to admit that he was grounded. luckily for him, chan was there to shoo them away and continue touring the older male around the campus which they succeeded in having it look entertaining.

❝i'm so proud of you for this.❞ jeffrey gave him an approving thumbs up, which the younger was also confident that he'll be getting that compliment from the wong himself. ❝by the way, didn't see that boyfriend of yours around.❞

❝right,❞ chan spaced out for a while before asking the older a question. ❝did he apologize to you already?❞

jeffrey shrugged, ❝he messaged me that he'd like to talk to me today.❞ he then continued with a sheepish smile. ❝but i think i also owe him a sorry, for getting mad and also for looking like i was going to break his hones for bringing twenty at a bar.❞

that caused for chan to put a halt to his tracks just to face him and give him a look of disbelief. ❝you.. get angry?❞

with puckered lips and puffed cheeks, jeffrey nodded his head. ❝hm, i didn't mean to. a jerk was messing with twenty and maybe the alcohol caused me to not control my temper.❞

but that wasn't what chan was amused about. seeing how scared and traumatized his boyfriend was, it made him curious as to how the older would look when mad. ❝you can get even make him cry and i'll still thank you for it.❞

jeffrey playfully rolled his eyes at how the younger was becoming bold in saying that when everyone knows that he's going to slice anyone's throat if one hurts the park. ❝anyways, where is twenty? i have been messaging him upon arriving but he didn't even take time to check my messages.❞

❝oh,❞ seeing a crowd surrounding around a well-decorated stage, chan dragged the wong along with him as they excused themselves in between the crowd. ❝he is preparing for his dance number.❞

that, the older had no idea about, having him to raise a brow in curiosity. ❝but i remember jiro telling me that they aren't going to perform since almost everyone from their dance troupe is busy for this week.❞

❝he changed his mind,❞ chan told him, finally being able to get in front of everyone and pulled along the other with him. ❝and made twenty do a solo.❞

somehow, jeffrey was having a mixed feeling in knowing that. he didn't know whether to feel proud that he's going to watch his baby show everyone what he's capable of, or be extra jealous that he's going to show it to everyone. shaking his head, jeffrey had a small smile forming on his face, supporting the male nonetheless. ❝a solo, huh?❞

he hasn't seen him in a while, watching him dance the first thing would probably be the best surprise he'd ever get.

jeffrey's heart then started to race when the younger's name was finally being called. of course, as expected, everyone watching would scream loud for him, may they be boys or girls. twenty is quite known around the campus, knowing almost everyone and either he was friends with them or they had bad blood with him.

but joining them, the wong made sure to scream at the top of his lungs that he hoped his voice reached to the backstage. ❝that's my baby!❞

that even took chan aback, not expecting for him to be like this. ❝baby?❞ he chuckled. ❝i guess, you have finally fixed everything?❞

the older took his attention away from the stage just for a while to talk to the male beside him. ❝we did, and i am never going to hide anything from my parents and siblings ever again.❞

the situation might have overwhelmed him as jeffrey was never the type to keep a lot from everyone. in fact, he's probably the most expected person ever that chan had encountered, he's very easy to read. ❝the next think we know, you're going to be hiding a legit baby from us. was that a spoiler?❞

nudging him at his joke, jeffrey let it off with a laugh. he then put his eyes back on stage and finally saw the person he had been wanting to see, touch, take into his arms, shower with love, and watch disney movies in bed with. that made the wong to scream louder that he almost overpowered the audience with his deep ass voice shouting for the suh's name. chan, beside him, was laughing endlessly at how adorably stupid he looked.

when the music started, the crowd cheered louder while the wong froze all of a sudden, getting chan's attention. ❝wait, he's dancing to this?❞

the younger male beside him shrugged at he didn't really get the chance to see what song he was going to dance, chan even expected for his boyfriend to back out. ❝it.. suits him?❞

it does, and jeffrey isn't even going to lie nor deny that fact. however, the boiling jealousy that he was pushing behind was starting to take over him. how his body bended easily like that, how his smirk was enough to make the guys curse in their places, how he was touching himself in place right in front of everyone, how he dropped down like that— it's everything that's making jeffrey have a hard time controlling himself. they've locked gazes countless of times and instead of knowing his limits, it urged twenty more to provoke the wong that's having a tongue poking on his inner cheek.

chan saw the tension between them even when the other was far on stage, and he was enjoying at how irritated his friend looked. never in his life did he expect to finally see this day of good ol' jeffrey act like he was about to pull the half thai down the stage and just cover his body with thick layer of jackets. but soon later, that teasing smile on his face disappeared when he saw his own boyfriend coming up from the side stage and upon reaching to the rap part and joining along with the half thai.

both jeffrey and chan were sending daggers with their glares as the two dancers were feeling the song.

twenty may have overdone some of his actions the moment he finally saw jeffrey among the audience, he even was standing right in front. for a moment there, he thought that he was stealing the stage and owning it alone, but was reminding a second before reaching to the rap part of the song and seeing a familiar figure in his peripheral view.

though, he almost cracked up when jiro held him by his waist with their faces close. he looked nervous, which was odd since dancing was his forte. ❝everything alright?❞

❝fuck, didn't expect for chan to watch the performance.❞ the park quickly said before moving from one step to another, trying to remember the choreography they made just minutes ago.

the half thai was already crying with tears inside his head, but had to have his facial expression match the song they were dancing. jiro also didn't let himself get distracted and just went along to what they practice. the only problem is, the two regretted making their moves quite intimate towards one another. the audience might not notice it and haven't stop screaming for the two, but they were already gagging and vomiting mentally at how they had to be so close, their faces only inches away from each other.

and since jiro was playful on stage, already into the dance, he wriggled his brows and puckered his lips as if he was sending him a kiss. that was left noticeable by everyone that it got them to hit one another, screaming like a dying whale, howl like wolves, and shake like they were having seizures.

and that's how the song ended with twenty's arms over the taller's shoulder, head tilted to the side. meanwhile, jiro had a hand by his waist and pulled him close that their body were glued to one another.

in the crowd's perspective, it looked like their lips touched.

but for the two, since they had their faces hidden from them, they looked at each other with disgusted expressions. they were also having their face scrunching at how they were sweating so bad from dancing, but were still sticking for the sake of an impactful ending.

once they were done, they took a bow, glancing down at the front to see if both jeffrey and chan were still there, but they weren't. the two quickly walked out of the stage and the first thing they did was complain at how it was like that. well, they were kind of proud that they entertained the crowd, and it also didn't look like they failed the performance, but the way who they were intimate to one another sent shivers down to their spines.

❝i was about to puke!❞ twenty gagged out loud, being all so dramatic.

❝hey, do you think you're the only one—❞ jiro didn't get to finish his sentence when the half thai that he was just talking to was being pulled away harshly. ❝oh?❞

and right in front of him, or them, he just witness at how twenty was having his body engulfed by a large figure and his lips being abused by a certain someone.

so, this is why they were gone in front of the crowd, both jeffrey and chan hurried their way backstage just to meet them. pressing his lips to a thin line, the park turned to his side and saw the tanned male just watching the sight happened with those bored eyes. he suddenly felt nervous as to how he is going to explain things to him. but instead, another question came out from his mouth that irritated chan more.

❝are you not also going to pull me,❞ he awkwardly asked, ❝and, i don't know, kiss me senseless?❞

the lee took his eyes away from the two and darted it to his boyfriend beside him, making the taller male gulp at how threatening he looked. ❝i don't vent my jealousy with that, park jiro.❞

full name basis, something the park should be frightened off. ❝it's just a dance, boo, nothing harmful.❞

❝and this is just jealousy, nothing to worry about.❞ chan turned his back at the older. ❝just don't expect me to welcome you at home tonight.❞

and while jiro went after his jealous boyfriend, leaving those two right there that's probably still eating each other's faces. which, they still are. sensing that they were left alone in this small open tent they were in behind the stage, jeffrey didn't hold back in torridly kissing the shorter's lips, and having his arm wrapped around his small waist to keep him in place.

twenty had a hard time breathing, but quickly regained himself when they pulled away just for a second before diving in for another kiss with tongues brushing, grunts being released, breathy moans from the suh, and the wong's hands going dangerously down to his peaches. truly, they are wild and shameless, with or without people around.

"gege?"

"midget?"

hearing familiar voices, the two pulled away quickly and immediately having their faces turning white at how both their younger siblings standing there looking like they had just saw a jumpscare from a horror movie. too late in her act, princess lifted her hand nonetheless and covered little sushi's eyes with it. as for the younger boy, he stiffened from his place as he had never seen such wild sight before. not even his parents act like that, or maybe they do but settle in inside their room.

❝c-cess.. hey?❞ twenty let out a nervous laugh as he licked his already bruised lips.

jeffrey slowly loosened his arms around the smaller's waist and gave a little more space in between them. ❝little sushi, what are you doing here?❞

❝hyung,❞ even with his eyes covered, that didn't stop the youngest to ask a question to twenty. ❝did it hurt when gege bit your lips?❞

poor kid, already traumatized by it. luckily for them, little sushi's knight in shining armor is there to take him away from such explicit seen. by knight in shining armor, it's princess. though, she was also shocked by it, what more did she expect from her brother? ❝a-aight, just here to compliment about how great you were on stage. that's all, bye!❞

however, it looked like the young wong wasn't done in being curious. ❝but i'm scared! what if gege eats twenty hyung?❞

both jeffrey and twenty stood there, still processing it inside their heads that they were caught by their siblings, while watching the two walk away and act like nothing happened. but then, their faces looked like they were not going to have a great sleep later tonight. still standing in silence for a couple of minutes, turning to each other only to burst from laughing.

❝bet, we are once again going to get scolded if they snitch on us and tell our parents about it.❞ the half thai said, having a hand on the older's nape and tugged in a strand of his hair back.

pulling him back close, that was the least of jeffrey's concern. ❝well, they have to get used to it because i'm going to start doing this often.❞

twenty raised a brow, not expecting to hear that from the older male. then again, it's not like he didn't like hearing it. ❝what are you going to do?❞

judging by how he slurred with his words, jeffrey knew that he was playing around. and so, the went along to his tease. ❝see that wall over there? i'm going to trap you there and continue what i just did to you awhile ago. probably, also do more that can make you moan out for my name real loud.❞

that took him aback, making the half thai stand there with eyes widened.

it seems like jeffrey isn't done yet as he leaned close to his ear to whisper. ❝beg for more and cry at how rough i will be with you.❞

okay, that's too much, making twenty find something strange. he moved away and lightly smacked his chest, earning a chuckle from the taller. ❝what have you been watching during that one week of being grounded at home.❞

jeffrey tucked both his hands inside his pockets and shrugged his shoulders. ❝nothing, really. just educated myself with things to catch up with your dirty jokes and also for jiro to stop calling me a bottom.❞

he looked like he isn't even joking around, the wong is actually an honest guy that twenty couldn't believe that he didn't doubt a word he said. ❝do you even know what a bottom is?❞

leaning close, jeffrey had a finger on the younger's chin and placed an innocent peck on his bruised lips. ❝obviously, that's not me in bed.❞

❝jeffrey wong!❞ twenty had never been so flustered in his entire life until now. it's funny how it's always him that make people feel this way, without knowing that this is how it truly feels. having his face heating up, his heart beating too fast, and his throat getting dry.

❝hm, what is it, twenty wong?❞ the older gave it a try, satisfied at how it fit so well with his name.

a whine was heard from twenty, telling him to stop being a tease as he still hasn't gotten used to the older being this confident all of a sudden. the wong only gave him a deep laugh before placing another soft peck on his lips but left their foreheads touching, wanting to enjoy this moment even for a short while.

whispering, he then said. ❝i missed you, so much.❞

twenty couldn't contain his lips from curving up at how he was acting like they haven't seen each other for a year, when it has just been a week. ❝did you enjoy being at home for a week?❞

❝not really, i wanted to see you.❞ which, there was no lie in that. ❝but at least i got to fix things with yanna, we're all good now.❞

remembering the talk he and the female wong had that one time, twenty was more than happy that things were slowly being fixed, including them. ❝what about us?❞

jeffrey knew very well what he meant by that question and also what he is asking about. ❝i don't know, still want to be buddies?❞

twenty's face then fell at that. ❝are you seriously asking me that right now?❞

seeing how upset he looked made jeffrey have a wide smile. even when this male gets mad at him, he will still look like an angry baby. ❝alright, wanna go out on a date? the weather is nice today.❞

feeling his arms slowly being removed from his waist, twenty was confused at how that was his response after just asking what they were. ❝hey, you forgot something.❞

jeffrey paused from his tracks, turning around as and got time slowing down as if he was in a drama. it felt weird, which the younger would like to admit, but he also felt his heart skipping a beat at how he got this gorgeous guy as his. ❝what is it? i could have sworn i brought my phone with me, my wallet, my love for you, and—❞

❝i swear to god, jeffrey wong, you are such a pain in the ass.❞ literally and metaphorically, twenty was starting to lose his patience at how he was taking all the time in the world. then again, it's jeffrey he is talking about, he should also adjust and respect what he preferred. ❝never mind, let's go.❞

as the smaller figure passed by him, jeffrey watched him from behind with that obvious smile. ❝twenty?❞

as expected, he was annoyed at him. twenty raised a brow and only mouthed a word rather than saying it out loud.

❝want to get married?❞
