Under Influence
Chapter 4
Jongin groaned. “Fuck you, Chanyeol. I don’t want to give my first kiss to Luhan!”
What?
The sound of Jongdae’s obnoxious laughter echoed in the living room. “You don’t have your first kiss yet?! Oh, my God. This is something!”
“Jongin is a soldier of love, gentlemen.” Chanyeol said in a sing-song voice.
“Wow. Shut up!” Jongin snapped.
“I don’t want to be Jongin’s first kiss!” Luhan shouted.
“Rules are rules, Lu.” Baekhyun smirked. Luhan flipped him off.
“Do it, Lu.” Sehun said in a low voice.
“You sure?“
“Do it. I won’t look.” Sehun then lay his head down on the pillow on the floor and closed his eyes and placed his earphones on his ear and played music from his phone to prevent himself from hearing anything.
Chanyeol looked at Luhan. “Sehun already gave you permission, Hannie.”
Luhan cringed. “Gross. Don’t call me that.”
“I’ll stop calling you “Hannie” if you do what I want you to do.”
“Fine.”
Ah, this is it. Kyungsoo thought. When he found out that Jongin doesn’t have a first kiss yet, he suddenly thought that he should be the one giving him his first kiss. His thoughts were interrupted when Luhan’s hand held his.
“What is it?” Kyungsoo is confused. He suddenly thought that Luhan is going to kiss him with the way the older guy is looking at him.
“Sorry, Soo. I really have to do this. A dare is a dare.”
Kyungsoo laughed awkwardly. “Wha- Why are you apologizing?”
“Remember, Soo. We’re brothers forever…” Luhan patted Kyungsoo’s shoulder. “Bros before hoes.”
“What the hell?! Now, you’re calling me a hoe?!” Jongin snapped.
Luhan looked at Jongin annoyingly. “Shut up, Jongin. I’m not talking to you,” He then looked again to Kyungsoo. “I love you, Soo! You know that!”
Luhan then stood up and sat in front of Jongin. The other boys cheered, except Kyungsoo and Sehun. He didn’t know what to do so he just lay down his head on Baekhyun’s shoulder.
“I don’t know how to kiss.”
Luhan facepalmed. “Just take my lead and let’s get this over with.”
“Fine.”
“Hold it right there, gentlemen!” Yifan, what the hell. Yifan poured rum on the shot glass and gave it to Luhan. “Have a shot first!” Luhan drank the contents in one go and gave the shot glass back to Yifan. Jongin did what Luhan did.
“Now do what needs to be done, boys.” Yifan said.
Luhan and Jongin sighed before Luhan leaned in to Jongin until their lips connected.
Kyungsoo closed his eyes and lay down on the crook of Baekhyun’s neck. He doesn’t want to see Jongin kissing someone else. He also knew that Sehun was not looking at the two kissing men. How can he if the guy he is dating is kissing another man? Kyungsoo understands Sehun, except for the “dating” part. That’ll never happen. Kyungsoo thought.
Kyungsoo almost shrieked when someone pulled him into a hug. Luhan. Kyungsoo sighed and smiled while he patted his friend’s head. “How was it?” Kyungsoo whispered into Luhan’s ear.
“Awful. Kyungsoo, you have to teach him how to kiss.” Luhan whispered back.
“What the hell?!” Kyungsoo hissed. The idea is ridiculous, but he likes it. He’s just playing hard-to-get.
Luhan giggled. “Just kidding.” Kyungsoo chuckled, but stopped when he noticed that his friend is frowning. “Luhan, what’s wrong?”
“Do you think Sehun is mad at me?”
Kyungsoo looked at Sehun who was lighting up a cigarette. “No.”
“Good. I don’t want your party to be ruined with his jealousy.” Kyungsoo looked at Luhan.
Luhan sighed. “What? I mean, we do like each other a lot, but we agreed that nothing between us is official until we say so.”
Kyungsoo shook his head. “You guys are so complicated.”
Luhan chuckled as he lit up his cigarette. “I know. Isn’t it fun?” Luhan offered Kyungsoo a stick. “Want some?”
Kyungsoo shook his head. “Later.”
Their conversation was interrupted when the other boys in the room screamed. Kyungsoo looked at the tip of the bottle and followed the direction which it’s pointed. He almost screamed when he saw that the bottle is pointing at Minseok.
Our baby… Kyungsoo internally sobbed. Minseok is known as their group’s “baby” because he’s the most innocent member. He doesn’t drink nor smoke. He doesn’t have a first kiss yet. He’s not even into green jokes because he only understands a few to none.
“N-No… Our baby…” Baekhyun whispered. Kyungsoo even heard Luhan whimpering beside him.
“We can skip! We can skip!” Sehun said. “Don’t make Minseok do a dare.”
“Sehun, rules are rules!” Chanyeol answered. He then looked at Kyungsoo. “And we need to entertain the birthday boy!”
“Well, I’m not entertained, asshole!” Kyungsoo snapped.
“Well, that’s too bad because we’re still doing this!” Yifan said in a sing-song voice.
“Jongdae, come here.” Chanyeol said in an unusual calm tone.
Jongdae narrowed his eyes. “What? You’re going to make Minseok lie down and make her bite down a piece of candy, then you’ll pour some juice on her tummy then I’ll lick it off and get the candy from his mouth with my mouth?”
Chanyeol cleared his throat. “Uh…Yeah.”
“Then let’s get this over with!”
Chanyeol made Minseok lie down. Luhan gently pulled Minseok’s shirt up. Minseok gulped. “Lu-Luhan?” Luhan just gave him a reassuring smile. “After this, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo, and I will make sure that you won’t do this again without your permission, okay?” Minseok nodded. Luhan then poured an adequate amount of iced tea on Minseok’s tummy. Kyungsoo went to sit beside Minseok’s head.
“Nervous?” Kyungsoo asked as he unwrapped a piece of candy.
“Very.”
Kyungsoo patted his friend’s head. “It’ll all be over soon. For now, enjoy it.” Minseok nodded and Kyungsoo put the candy between Minseok’s teeth.
Chanyeol called Jongdae. “Minseok is ready.”
Jongdae stood up and went in the middle of the circle where Minseok is. Jongdae kneeled down beside Minseok who had his eyes closed. Jongdae took a deep breath and leaned in to lick off the iced tea on Minseok’s abdomen.
“Shit, I can’t look at this.” Kyungsoo mumbled. He decided to close his eyes and not watch what was happening in front of him because it’s too inappropriate. After a few seconds, he opened and his eyes and almost screamed on what he saw.
Jongdae’s lips are on Minseok’s. Minseok’s first kiss, oh my God.
Kyungsoo held Luhan’s hand so hard that Luhan shouted in pain.
Jongdae stood up after a few seconds. “Ah, it looks like we need a break.” He said while playing with the candy in his mouth that he got from Minseok.
Chanyeol nodded in agreement. “Yeah, you’re right.” Chanyeol clapped his hands thrice to get the attention of everyone in the room. “We’ll take a break first!” Kyungsoo sighed in relief.
“But I’ll spin the bottle first so we can continue again after the break.”
Chanyeol spinned the bottle again and Kyungsoo closed his eyes and prayed hard that it won’t be pointed to him. Hell, he doesn’t want to be pointed at ever.
But his prayers weren’t enough because once he opened his eyes; he saw the tip of the bottle pointed at him. Why??
Kyungsoo wondered what his past life was to deserve this kind of punishment.
Everyone in the room cheered while Kyungsoo drowned in sorrow.
Baekhyun flailed his arms. “I’ll give the dare! I’ll give the dare!”
Kyungsoo gave Baekhyun ‘the look’ but the latter is too drunk to be affected.
Baekhyun smirked at him. “After the break, Jongin will do a body shot on you.”
Chanyeol asked. “Where?”
“From Kyungsoo’s tummy…” Baekhyun put his index finger and thumb on his chin then he snapped his fingers. “Then someone will put a bottle cap-full of rum on Soo’s mouth and Jongin have to suck the rum from there.”
Kyungsoo grabbed Baekhyun by the collar and shook him back and forth mercilessly. “What the fuck?! THAT IS SO OBSCENE! I can’t do that! No!”
