is it hot in here? or is that just me?

Kikwang was a romantic guy, someone who believed that true love would prevail no matter how long he had to wait. He was still so much in love with his ex-boyfriend, and even if he should have given up on him for some time now, there was always a tiny bit hope left, whenever they meet up. He knew that it was wrong and that in the end he was the one who hurt himself the most, so drowning himself in drinks and numb the feelings that still lingered underneath the surface was the one solution to him now. Even dancing, the one thing he had thought as his preserved freedom, wasn't giving him the wings he was wishing for at the moment. Kikwang just felt awefully lonely and carved for someone's attention. That's why it was quite easy for the tall and handsome man at the bar to lure him in, even though his heart was still with someone else.

Just a few seconds after closing his eyes, he felt the warmth of the other male's breath on his skin, the smell of alcohol blurring his mind. A hand on the back of his neck pulls him closer, the proximity between them shrinks and Kikwang's heart starts to thumb faster in his chest. There was always that moment before lips connected into a kiss and everytime he lived through it, he felt a thrill with every fiber of his body. The blood rushed through his body, he is overwhelmed by the heat and the taste of Dongyoon's lips and his tongue. He presses a hand against the taller man's chest, while focusing on the exhilaration their kiss causes in him. It's been some time, since he had been kissed for the last time and even if it wasn't him, the one who held his heart, Kikwang knew for sure that he had missed the warmth of another human being.

He slips forward a bit, tilts his head for their tongues to entangle with each other. With a sigh he lets go, the full lips glistening wet. A shy smile appears on his face, his ears turn red the second he exchanges gazes with the other man. "You are a good kisser."

They were exchanging compliments like a ball during a tennis match and it seemed like stares helped them communicate on a nonverbal level. Kikwang wasn’t reluctant of this whole obvious situation at all, even if the face of the one he was still completely in love with and still couldn’t forget about popped up in his mind at just that moment. It had been a while since he got to see him, got to spend time with him and that’s why he carved attention and affection and was easily lured into Dongyoon’s sweet words. He wanted to explore more of the long lost feeling, felt welcoming towards the male who could become the new center of his interest and who might be able to help him to finally forget about his first love.

The alcohol slowly hit in, and Kikwang could feel his vision become blurry. He couldn’t see anything else beside his acquaintance anymore and him saying those cute things to Kikwang didn’t helped at all. He staggered in his seat, when he lightly slapped the other’s shoulder, slurring his words under the influence of his drinks: “You, enchanter, you!” He liked the touch of the other man as he played with his hair, before placing a hand on his thigh. In normal circumstances, Kikwang wouldn’t have let the other his way that easily, as he usually was on the shyer side and just accepted skinship from his best friend who was his ex-boyfriend as well. So why felt he so attracted to the other man’s touches right now? He felt the warmth spreading all over his body, the heart in his chest was fluttering and Kikwang subconsciously knew that Dongyoon must have a lots of experience with flirting if he could wrap him around his finger that easily. But it didn’t bothered him that much, alcohol was making things a hundred times better because it felt that those empty words of Dongyoon were completely sincere and were meant only for him.

Dongyoon asked him if he would mind to be kissed and without another word, he leaned forward and closed his eyes, thick lips puckered lightly. A kiss could speak a thousands of words and that was what he needed right now.

★ dress up.

The dumbass friend who convinced Kyungsoo to show up for Zombie night had conveniently gotten himself lost during transit and won’t be showing up for another hour. This meant, for the next 60 minutes, Kyungsoo either had to find someone else to converse with or just wander around himself. Under normal circumstances, he loved being alone. This, however, was something else.

One of the zombies approached him, prompting Kyungsoo to turn. The fake zombie was played by a small woman, who shrank back at Kyungsoo’s extra demonic (fuelled by his friend’s idiocy) gaze. Realizing he was being a dick to an innocent woman, Kyungsoo gave a sign and decided to participate in the event. He turned around and ran, prompting the zombie lady to chase in her sluggish monster way.

Kyungsoo shook her off without any issues, but he also managed to bump into someone during his escape. “Oh, Kikwang, right?” Funny thing - they both participated in the survival show but never actually spoke to each other. He couldn’t tell what the other’s costume was about, but it looked very…sports anime. “Do Kyungsoo,” he introduced, just in case the guy forgot. “Police officer.” Yes, he figured he should also talk about his lame outfit. It was nothing creative but hey, he had the costume already and didn’t mind taking it out of the bedroom for once.

“Want to go to an escape room?”

He had lost sight of his friends, after their group had run into a gang of zombies, trying to chase them down. Kikwang just remembered their screams and giggles at the sight of the gory looking undeads, and he was that entertained and thrilled that he forgot to check the others until he realized they were gone. Everyone had probably stormed into all directions, separating from one another involuntarily. While he wandered around, he kept on searching the dark for Seokwoo who was as tall as a tree and therefore most often a good orientation point to spot from afar for the much shorter male. But instead of finding his way back to his best friend, someone else bumped into him while running away from a zombie.

He was a little surprised the other knew his name, but when he got closer to the other man he could clearly see his face in the dark. It was a face that was still known as it was seen on TV for not an insignificant amount of time. Whereas he himself had been out before he was even able to show more of his talents. That was even more of a reason to be surprised how the other remembered his name, especially when he still remembered Kyungsoo’s beautiful violine performance.

His shyness was probably the reason why he had never interacted with the fellow violinist (that and the fact he was eliminated so soon). So in order to change that, he extended his hand and repeated his full name along with a greeting, despite Kyungsoo remembering right. It was simply a question of politeness in his mind. When the other mentioned his costume, Kikwang smiled. “Ah, I am dressed up as Yaku from Haikyuu, a sports anime.” He blinked at the other man’s clothes. He had picked out the ideal costume, in Kikwang’s opinion. So he sheepishly complimented the other, mostly because he had always wanted to speak to a “officer” like this. “You look really cool though, officer.”

As the other asked him, if he wanted to go to an escape room with him, Kikwang blinked one more time, this time in surprise. They didn’t know each other besides general stuff like names, but then again he guessed it wouldn’t hurt him if he were to play with him for a while. No matter his shyness, Kikwang was always up to make new friends. “Ah yes, sure. You gotta protect me and your ears though, cause I am a big crybaby.”

The other male shoke his head, as if refusing the compliment Kikwang had replied with. There was no denial that Dongyoon was an attractive guy, since KT Entertainment was usually known for their the beautiful faces. So when such smooth words slipped over the other’s lips, Kikwang couldn’t quite believed him. There was no way he was hotter than that guy who had perfectly symmetric features, ideal proportions and smelled surpringsly sweet. And his smile was super cute. He liked that guy and it was probably not only due to the alcohol’s influence, but because of his fun personality. They didn’t know each other for that long yet, but Kikwang still enjoyed every minute with him.

Dongyoon’s stare pulled him in and for a few moments, they just sitting next to each other, looking at one another’s eyes. He wasn’t too sure how he was supposed to react any longer, on his lips a gentle smile. It had been a while since he was told that he was looking good and he appreciated it wholeheartly though it just made his shyness return. Dongyoon meanwhile didn’t seem to mind their environment at all, and proceeded to move closer and finally even push up Kikwang’s chin a little to get a better look at his face. His cheeks immediately turned bright red, with a grin the shorter man attempted to free himself. “Don’t be silly. I am not as hot as you.” He turned to the bartender and ordered two more bottles of beer. The tall man had improved his mood by a whole lot, so he invited him for another drink.

He was impressed by the other’s smoothness, and Kikwang would lie if he were to deny that he disliked his honesty and the flirty feeling Dongyoon was giving off. It might be the alcohol that was speaking out of him, but it still felt good to be looked at in this kind of way after his last heartbreak. He was clearly flirting with him, but having the other run his thumb along Kikwang’s lips was still a little unexpectant. So he decided to remain still, watching his acquaintance next move.

The news weren’t unexpected, and in all honesty they were also kind of wanted, yet here he was, drinking his feelings away. They had kicked him out of KT, and honestly it had been something he had wanted for quite a while, he had been skipping practice and had taken training not so seriously, mostly so they would kick him out, because he had realized training wasn’t for him. So when he got the news of getting kicked out he should’ve expected them, should have become utterly happy, yet he decided to bring up old habits of going out to drink alone.

And at first maybe he had seen like one of those sad guys in a movie, because he had sat there all alone drinking, and he had been there for an hour, used a fair amount of money on alcohol before he suddenly spotted a face amongst the crowd, not a friend, but a particular somebody that had literally fallen for him. And it hadn’t taken him much time to figure out talking to the male was much more fun than sitting alone, so soon enough he was beside the other, offering a drink and then they had fallen into conversation.

And as the time flew and more alcohol was poured down his throat (an amount he had no idea of), he came to the realization of something. He squinted an eye, pointed at the other male and smiled slightly before giggling “this may come out of the blue, but did you know you’re really hot?”, another giggle escaped him as he placed a hand on the counter to steady himself while continuing studying the other.

Now that his best friends were trainees under big companies, he sadly didn't got to see them as much anymore. Training seemed tiring, so they rarely went out of their way to spent time with Kikwang in clubs anymore, so in consequence he ended up going alone most of the time, out of loneliness. When he usually was on the shyer side, he felt more confident at later hours, wrapped in the veils of the night. Kikwang liked to socialize with other young people, he liked to get to know new faces and enjoy the music and the taste of alcohol together. He wasn't the strongest drinker, so he tried to hold back in order to remain the ruler over his self-control. But when someone he had seen at his cousin's company before approached him from admist the dancing crowd, he couldn't reject the offer to a drink.

They were fast to get into a conversation and even if they couldn't be called friends yet, Kikwang still felt comfortable talking with the other (maybe the embarrassing fall to the other's feet helped him to overcome his initial shyness towards strangers). The shorter man didn't even remembered the topics they were chatting about, all he knew was how the heat of the drinks had spread from his throat to all over his body. It made him dizzy, but fuzzy as well. Kikwang thought that it was a funny feeling, and he would have loved to share it with his friends. Instead he did with that wholesome guy next to him, who was super tall and super handsome.

When he looked over to his acquaintance, Dongyoon seemed to be as intoxicated as him. What a relief. The other's sudden words made Kikwang blink at him for a silent second. Then the blood rushed to his cheeks and ears. "What? Me? I think you've had too much to drink... you are the hot one here! Look at how tall you are." With embarrassed giggles, he slapped the other's shoulder. Kikwang had never been good with compliments about his appearance. It just made him shy.

&& happy birthday, hyung

rkmason:

hearing minho's laughter is like music in his ears. he likes it, when his friend was in a good mood and he hoped he would be able to add to that mood with his present. even if the older man wouldn't neccessarily expect a present from the younger, kikwang thought that it was still a nice gesture to show that he thought of his friend and cared for him. he appreciated every single of his friendships and therefore wanted to make effort in keeping up the contact because the bonds to them meant a lot to him. that's why he tried to stay as creative as possible, when it came to his surprises, always attempted to meet their taste.

"hey, i'm much stronger than i look, hyung! i might be short, but i carry guns around! see?" kikwang replies, pretending to pout before revealing his arms to minho. the present was handed over and with big eyes the younger man waits for the birthday boy to rip it open. "of course i want you to open it now! i want to see your reaction!" of course it wasn't the usual kind of present one would expect for their age, but things like that didn't bothered kikwang as he didn't see a problem with likings and passions that involved comics or gaming. excited the shorter man flops to the ground, looks up to the other before he beams him a sweet and bright smile. "come sit down and open it up! we are still early!"

&& accidental tackle

There were a lot of other people around them who prepared for the upcoming run as well, so it wasn't quite the surprise to bump into another person, but Kikwang still felt aweful about it. The other male looked quite stylish and cool in his sports wear and if he was a little taller he could have been mistaken for a sports model. Of course the dancer had to go and disturb this kind of guy during his warm up, and make a fool of himself by pushing his ass in his direction without looking behind. He blinked at the other man whose nametag said Kim Jinhwan and who had lifted his fist, probably out of instinct. Kikwang himself knew a few guys who would strike as soon as they sensed something, so he wasn't even that startled at the sight of Jinhwan-sshi's attack mode.

But that didn't meant it didn't affected him, since Kikwang was more of a pacifistic guy who liked to avoid causing troubles to others. That was why he felt even guiltier for being the reason for Jinhwan-sshi's mood drop. So he bowed one more time, repeating his apology a second time. When the other asked him if he was running the 5km race, Kikwang nodded. "Ah yes, I am. But my mind was already at the busking event after, so I didn't noticed you. I'm sorry."

It seemed like things were ok now, as Jinhwan-sshi began to stretch himself, so the dancer proceeded with his own warm up routine. The other looked quite fit, maybe he was a soccer player just like him. "Do you play soccer by chance? Your leg muscles seem to be very strong-" Too late he noticed that his comment just now would make it seem like he was checking the other out, although it was just a habit of him to analyze other people body structure to see if they were athletes like him.

quite tall

Days at KT can be boring, they’re exhausting, definitely, but there’s not really anything interesting to do besides practicing. Right now Dongyoon is having his break, he’s sweaty, hot, really just wants a bottle of water, unfortunately for him he forgot his at home so he’ll have to find water somewhere else. He’s just walking calmly, breath still a bit unsteady. He’d just wish something exciting would happen at this place, someone or something exciting… or that he at least could bring his pets with him to practice, then this place would be much more enjoyable. And in the midst of thinking he sees someone fall, he looks around, confused, he’s never seen this guy before, but there are probably a lot of trainees Dongyoon he hasn’t seen before.

He half-runs in the direction, stops in front of them and reaches out a hand “hey dude, are you okay?”. Is the floor slippery? Or did they just randomly fall? Well it’s supposedly not much of Dongyoon’s business, but he does feel bad for the male, perhaps this male falling though will be the most exciting thing today.

@rkxkikwang​

His hyung was supposed to buy him a meal for helping out with a gift idea for his baby sister's birthday gift tonight, so Kikwang went to the KT Entertainment building to pick the older up (and to get a free lift). It wasn't hard to find said building, when it could already be seen from afar. He was impressed by the looming presence of a company building within its neighbourhood, KT was one of the big five after all and he was even more impressed by the fact that his cousin was one of that company's trainees. He was working hard for his dream, and his ambition had lead him this far. Trainees under KT must be super extraordinary, Kikwang thought, while in awe at the gigantic building.

The only problem he was facing though was that his body didn't seemed to be ok with him being distracted by the building, instead he somehow tripped over his own feet and stumbled forward. While he tried to catch his own fall, he managed to flop down rather savely, just to feel a wave of embarrassment hitting him the moment, he notices someone rushing towards him, asking if he was alright.

As if being seen wasn't already bad enough, he utters a random "So tall." after looking up to the other male who was offering him a hand to pull him up. His lips were slightly parted, as he stares at the other man, before he woke himself up from his trance like state, to accept the offer and grab the hand. "Ah, yeah, I'm ok... Thank you... Could you do me a favour though? Could you please pretend this didn't happened?" Kikwang's cheeks were flushed in a faint pink, and he could feel the heat in his ears. Why did he fall in front of such a looker?

yeji shook her previous encounter out of her head, she needed to get back to the task at hand and it was handing out the fliers. a couple of stragers walked past her and she didn’t want to be annoying, especially when someone was talking on their phone. so when she finally found someone that wasn’t on their phone she approached them with a smile– her eyes slanted into cresents and her hand reaching out to the male with the paper in her hand, “hello,” she smiled, he was familiar– maybe he had been in the mgas, yeji couldn’t remember propelry, “would you like a flier? maybe for future inquiries?” 

of course he had seen her face plenty times in the last season of the mnet global auditions because he had watched every episode in high anticipation to see mason hyung's, zuho's and sakura's performances and as she had been on the team of the former, on the winning team, he knew who she was. kikwang still felt sad for his hyung to be called a winner, without getting a contract offer, but at the same time he couldn't deny that the other season winner's and those who actually received an offer held onto plenty potential and talent as well, so there was no help to it. so since he knew of the backstory, it didn't surprised him much to see her actually accepting the contract and handing out flyers in spite of a trainee tradition like he had heard from his friends.

kikwang himself wasn't exactly interested in all that idol stuff. sure, he had applied to the mgas himself, but besides loving to dance and being on stage, he didn't felt much ambition to actually pursue this kind of career. idol life surely wasn't as glamorous as some might imagine. but nonetheless he kind of wanted to help out, so he returned the female's smile and accepting the leaflet with both hands. "hello." he nodded at her. "ah, yes, thank you. good luck in your company. and congratulations to the win."

☆ : what’s a swish?

rkcsb:

seeing the other getting fired up just like him, swept away by the music put a smile on his lips and kikwang just let loose, let his immediate emotions take over his body and dance. he likes the beat, and the interaction he can share with soobin throughout the whole dance. they are able to look at each other, as they synched up their movements, grinning and laughing. it's a positive experience and he completely forgets about the people around them watching. this wasn't a match to determine a winner and a loser, it was a dance between friends and partners.

kikwang kicks his leg to the side, throwing an arm up, before turning to the side, making a jumping move backwards. the upbeat rhythm gets to him, and the more they dance, the brighter his smile becomes. this was truly his fortune and his passion. there was nothing that could outbeat dancing. the two of them spin around, drag their hands down the thighs towards the knees.

the younger's movements are on fire, and he is just glad the two of them agreed to do this together with each other. they weren't exactly the closest, but kikwang felt like they would swish swish into a closer friendship from now on.
