Author's note: Hey! i am just a little bit drunk. Congrats to everyone that has their birthdays today! Especially the ones that are 18 now or 21 depending on the country. Guys we made it! A shittier life is waiting for us from now on ~
Jongin remembers his sixth birthday. His cheeks were chubby and he will not forget the way his aunt pulled, stretched and kissed those cheeks slopply. He still believes that his aunt was the reason why his cheeks were like that. He has been away from his aunt since he was sixteen and he has a marvelous jawline now. Thank you.
Anyways… In his sixth birthday he remembers that one of his friends was sick and he literally threw up in the every corner of Jongin’s house. Jongin was not actually so angry about that. He actually laughed a lot. But the problem was he drank a lot of apple juice and while he was laughing at the boy with the other kids, he kind of peed in his pants.
So the thing here is; Jongin hates his birthdays. He hates them so much. Jongin feels so lucky that he can’t remember the other birthdays he had before he was six. But he remembers every single one of them after the sixth one and he is not happy about it. There is something about his birthdays that everything just goes wrong. On his eleventh birthday Jongin wanted to scratch his back and he dislocated his left arm. He wanted to go to the amusement park with his friends on his fifteenth birthday and while he was riding the rollercoaster the kid next to him threw up on him and as if that was not enough he bit Jongin’s shoulder. His friends suggested the gay bar on his nineteenth birthday and he thought it would be funny and he will not forget the way the fat, hairy man that was wearing leather leggings and a lot of piercings slapped Jongin’s tiny, little, innocent butt.
Jongin thinks that it is the kind of way that universe connects with him. It is it’s way of telling Jongin:
You were not supposed to be born. I just had a diarrhea and you happened. Pay for it you piece of shit and make me laugh.
“Oh come on Jongin! It can’t be that bad.” Chanyeol says and of course it is easy for him to say since he is not Jongin. Chanyeol probably doesn’t even know the definition of ‘bad’ but wait, Jongin’s birthday is just starting, right? He will learn.
“Maybe this year you will get rid of your virginity?” Chanyeol says and both Jongin and Sehun stops walking in the hall and Jongin wants to brake his nose with a deliciously hard face palm. Of course, Jongin’s birthday is just starting!
“You are a virgin? You are a fucking virgin?” Sehun says hovering over Jongin and trapping him between himself and the wall.
“Look Sehun, I-“ as if Jongin could continue.
“Oh god I just won the lottery. Where would you prefer? Restroom is just fine but if you want somewhere more special we can go to my apartment after this class.” Sehun’s eyes are fucking sparkling. It is so fucking creepy.
“Sehun I-“
“Wait! We can go to the concert hall! I have the keys for it! Dude it will be perfect I always wanted to try doing it on the stage.”
“Wait a second.” Jongin says stepping to the side so he can get himself away from Sehun even just a little… “Who the heck trusted you with the keys of the concert hall?”
“Im the leader of the dance club,” Sehun has this smug look and Jongin really wants to beat his ass on the dance floor and get the leadership but he is not allowed to take club activities yet -because he failed miserably last year and has to take a hell lot of last year’s classes instead- and Sehun enjoys this too much.
“Sehun I’m not fucking you,” Jongin says and even just saying feels like he is eating his grandma’s homemade pickles. Sehun opens his mouth to say something but Jongin quickly hushes him. “And I am not letting you fuck me either.”
“But Zitao is winning!” Sehun whines and pouts like the five year old boy that he is. Sehun and Zitao started having this bet at the end of the last year. It is about sleeping with virgins and the first one who scores twenty will win. Sehun says that he slept with nine virgins but Jongin is sure that he is not even close to three. Jongin doesn’t remember what was the price for the winner but he is sure that Zitao and Sehun doesn’t remember that either. They just have the biggest boners for each other and they take it out on stupid stuff like those bets. Jongin just hopes that they will get together before they graduate from the college and do the world a favor.
“I have three puppies back at home and your puppy face has no effect on me,” Jongin says scrunching his face. “You actually look really ugly right now.”
“Say that again after you kiss me. I am the best kisser ever you pathetic, virgin, dorky creature.” Sehun grabs Jongin’s wrist and pulls him close.
Sehun has been one of the most disgusting friends Jongin ever had. He remembers that Sehun peed in a bottle and then he took a sip after dazing off. Jongin is not kissing that mouth. Oh and Sehun dated Joonmyun. Jongin is never even touching those lips that once were probably wrapped around Joonmyun jr. Talking about juniors, Jongin remembers really well that when they were a senior in high school they recorded their dance cover of the song ‘History’ and while editing that video Jongin realized that Sehun didn’t wear underwear in the video at all while he was also rock hard. His member was absolutely doing a solo stage on it’s own and he pretty much labeled the video as ‘Sehun Jr and the backup dancers’
Oh no. Jongin is never going to kiss Sehun . Now that he is getting closer and closer Jongin can see the hints of Sehun’s natural unibrow that Sehun fails at picking. Not to mention Sehun’s hair is growing in a disgusting way that it parts in the middle. Oh fuck.
“Sehun, I’m going to teleport,” Jongin says after a loud gulp.
“Like hell you can,” Sehun murmurs with a smirk and Jongin can feel Sehun’s breathe on his lips.
Jongin knows he sucks at this but if he wants to continue living without a handicap, he has to do it now. So he shuts his eyes and thinks of his apartment, his warm and lovely bed and how it feels to be on it. His whole body becomes impossibly lighter and then suddenly it gets heavy again, it aches for a second. Jongin feels that he is on his knees on a soft, warm material. For a second Jongin feels happy, succesful and safe. Then he remembers that today is his birthday.
He opens his eyes to realize that he is indeed on a bed. The only little, small problem is that it is not his bed. It is probably Amber’s bed who is using it now together with Soo Jung with Soo Jung’s head underneath Amber’s shirt.
This is absolutely one of his favorite birthdays that he will not be able to forget. He will not forget the way Sehun tried to traumatize him with the whole idea of having sex in the concert hall and he won’t be able to forget the way Soo Jung’s high heels felt on his back while she was kicking him off from the bed. Who the fuck wears those punk leather high heels to bed?
The time is probably something like 12 o’clock and there is a lot of time until this fucking, disgusting day ends but Jongin is not scared anymore. He is just in the mood to fling the middle finger to the universe and say ‘You can’t make it any worse you bitch. I have seen everything.’ And hell yeah thinking about all of his birth days, Jongin did see everything. But then he checks the time and god damn it! It is fucking 12 o’clock and before he can have a heart attack his phone buzzes.
-Are you not coming? Should I leave?
A text message from Jongdae. Kim fucking Jongdae. Jongin’s biggest crush ever and he had this crush on him since the time he first stepped into the college last year.
He saw Jongdae for the first time in the showcase of the college. He was a second year back then and probably was the only second year that took place in the showcase. He stepped into the platform and just in seconds the whole weather changed from sunny to cloudy and Jongin can never forget the way a lightning fell on him. At first Jongin gasped with horror and panic but then he realized that the boy with a beautiful, strong glare, was not a person to get scared by a thunder. The lightning was the one to be scared by him, scared by the way that he controls it. jongin was left speechless when the lightning started moving and changing it’s shape like it was dancing. And oh god, such a beautiful dance it was.
Jongin immediately started working his ass off to learn the boy’s name. Jongdae was not a hot topic like Luhan who could move everything in the room without moving his finger or Wufan, who could transform into a scary dragon and fly high in the sky. But it was not because Jongdae was not as strong as them. Jongdae was as good as them. He just didn’t had the ‘I am here’ effect that they had. Jongin remembers seeing Luhan everywhere. Sometimes using his power and sometimes playing football and generally showing off. But Jongdae was really hard to catch around. Like he was not in the school at all.
First time Jongin saw Jongdae in person after the show case was the second week of the college. Jongdae was casually leaning against a wall and talking to his friend. Jongin immediately got closer but of course he maintained the safe distance just like the socially awkward loser that he is.
Damn the boy had such a sweet voice and that melodical laugh… Jongin could spent all of his pocket money to be able to download it from itunes and play it none stop. He was just so nice. And when Jongin passed by them he realized that Jongdae is actually really short. With his smiley face, angelic laugh, perfect grades -yes Jongin is a dangerous stalker- he was nothing like the guy that could control the sky and play with the lightning. Jongdae was just so approachable.
That didn’t actually mean that Jongin approached him of course. Because Jongin is a loser, let’s just don’t forget that. Jongin was failing last year -correction: he did failed! Not because that Jongin is a lazy ass like Sehun. It is just that he is a late bloomer when it comes to his power. Jongin is the only person in the family with this kind of power and neither him nor the family knew what to do with it. Jongin discovered his power in the first grade of the elementary school when he was bored on the lessons and he started teleporting accidently to his home. Since it was happening against his will, Jongin couldn’t prove his power to his parents and he ended up in a ‘doctor’s office’
That doctor was curing ‘people with the lie disease and people who have strong imagination’ according to his parents.
Since it was causing him problems, Jongin discovered that if he acted like it didn’t exist then things would get better. And it was kind of working until he found this college for people like him and wanted to apply. Now he is facing the consequences of not exploring his power and mastering it.
It all happened when he couldn’t teleport in the last exam of the second semester last year. The professor called him to his office and told him that Jongin has to repeat the first year. He tried to cheer up Jongin with his own, made up, funny stories about how he sucked at using his powers but ‘Now I am here! Teaching people like you how to use their powers. Ho ho ho!’ but he was just wasting his breathe. Jongin lost his hope after the first semester and everything felt even more impossible while even Sehun was good at it.
“Don’t worry,” the professor said. “You will get the help that you need.”
Jongin just tried to not to focus on how the ‘ho ho ho!’ followed those sentences sounded like hoe hoe hoe!
And that ‘help’ appeared to be meeting Jongdae on lunch breaks from 11:30 to 12:10 every day and Jongin doesn’t have a clue about how he managed to stay alive after the massive heart attack he had when Jongdae walked up to him and said ‘hi’.
“I got the details from professor Lee. Don’t worry it is nothing we can’t fix,” Jongdae said with a really, really pretty smile and winked at Jongin.
“Okay. Fixing is good. I like fixing,” Jongin remembers mumbling something like that. Jongdae grinned…White teeth and all.
“I am sorry, what was your power?” Jongdae asked while placing his right hand lightly on Jongin’s shoulder.
“Transform....” Just flew out from Jongin’s mouth and he gaped at himself.
“Oh cool!” Jongdae chuckled. “What kind of transformation? Please don’t tell me you are a dragon,” Jongdae said scrunching his face.
“No! I mean… I meant traveling… Oh god wait!” Jongin face palmed himself.
“Okay?” Jongdae smiled in a confused way .
“I teleport!” Jongin shouted before he went through the every word in dictionary that started with the letter ‘T’ “My power is teleportation. “ Jongdae looked at him with confusion for a while then brusted into laughter.
“So many powers. What a talented student I have here,” Jongdae said with a laugh.
“I can only teleport!” Jongin replied so quickly and he lowered his head, feeling the redness on his cheeks. “It’s just I don’t have the power of talking,” He mumbled. When he raised his head Jongdae was smiling at him.
Just like he couldn’t understand why Jongdae was so smiley with him, he also can’t understand when Jongdae got really close to him. After the first week Jongin suddenly got used to texting him so much he started having the habit of checking his phone every second unless the Kakao talk forgot to kakooo. He was broke because of spending money on the books that Jongdae liked, just to make Jongdae enjoy their conversation. Not that he managed the finish any of them. There was nothing wrong with the books. The only problem is that.. Well, they were books.
Jongdae was always smiling that pretty smile of him though. Even though Jongin was awkward in those moments he got too lost in the way that Jongdae talked, or moved, Jongdae was always kind.
Jongdae now, is actually cruel though. Now that they have been closer and they have that ‘big brother- little brother’ vibe -wich Jongin does not appreciate- Jongdae loves teasing Jongin to death. Making him flustered at all times. Pointing out the way Jongin stares, the way Jongin dozes off and calling him all kind of names like ‘puppy’ Jongin feels really nervous before their lessons. It helps though. Jongdae really does help. Jongin can teleport safely in a room now. He can just go anywhere in the room without a problem but he was never succesfull about teleporting himself to another room or a place. But it is okay. Jongin doesn’t want his lessons to end anyways.
“Oh god hyung I am so sorry!” Jongin slams the door open to the classroom while panting to death. Jongdae looks at him with worry then starts laughing.
“Calm down! It’s okay,” Jongdae gets down from the desk that he has been sitting on and walks towards Jongin. It is not good because Jongin is already having problems with breathing and his breath catches in his throat when Jongdae comes closer.
“It is your birthday I was not planning to practice with you more than ten minutes anyways” He says while messing Jongin’s hair wich is okay because Jongin didn’t had the time to spent hours on his hair for Jongdae while he was getting beaten by Soo Jung.
Hey, wait a second!
“You know today is my birthday?” Jongin probably has to close that mouth of his because his jaw cracks.
“Of course silly” Jongdae says and gives Jongin a small box wrapped neatly and only then Jongin realizes Jongdae was hiding something behind him. “Happy birthday!”
Jongin feels like he can die in this moment without no regrets. This is just too much. THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH he just wants to crash his lips to Jongdae’s utterly cute, cat like ones and hug the fuck out of him.
“Hyung! Thank you!” Jongin says with his brightest smile and his heart skips a beat when Jongdae suddenly hugs him. He just fits into Jongin’s frame prefectly with his small form, but his arms feel strong and protective against Jongin’s body. Jongin remembers how those strong arms catched him and saved him numerous times during the practices.
Jongin wants to stay in this moment forever but Jongdae is already pulling away.
“It is so small really, but I just wanted to get you something,” Jongdae says pointing at the small box in Jongin’s hand.
“Should I open it?” Jongin says though he is already trying to open it eagerly. Jongdae chuckles
“Sure. Go ahead,”
The wrapping comes undone to reveal black headphones with yellow cartoon lightning figures at the back of the earpiece. Jongin is speechless. He tries to talk and to say something but he just can’t find his voice. Jongdae clears his throat.
“Well, I don’t think it is the best quality stuff. I mean I don’t understand about the bass sounds and things, well, to me, a good headphone means that both of the earpieces are working,” Jongdae is smiling in such a shy but warm and cute way that Jongin is lost. “I just bought them because it has lightning figures.”
“I-i.. uhm i.. “ Jongin fails in a miserable way. Jongdae waits for something to come but when Jongin can’t do anything he smiles.
“You are getting good at teleporting yourself that our lessons might end. I just wanted to give you something that would make you remember me,” Jongdae smiles sheepishly and Jongin takes a step forward to protest about their lessons ending, and that he won’t forget Jongdae because how can he ever forget Jongdae?? Jongdae is the one that should not forget Jongin.
“I will- I- I mean it won’t-“ and then Jongin realizes that he is actually talking to a tree. Did Jongdae said something about Jongin getting better at teleporting?
“Shit!” Panic washes his body over and he starts walking in the circles to figure out what to do. Damn it was rude. That is totally so rude Jongdae is probably having all the wrong ideas and probably will go away and Jongin will never be able to find him again because Jongdae is so good at not being anywhere. Oh god. Jongin is screwed, Jongin is fucked up, his life ends here!
And while he was slamming his head to the trees he realized that he lives in the 20th century and he can totally pick his phone to text Jongdae.
-I am so so so sorry im coming hyung wait please!
He texts as he starts running to inside of the building. His phone buzzes while he is dashing on the stairs.
-It’s okay I am waiting. Just don’t rush it okay? Take your time.
And while he was trying to reply with an ‘okay’ he tripped in his hastiness and fell face first to the ground.
After having an angry swearing session while lying on the ground and checking his new nose job on his phones front cam, it took Jongin ten minutes to finally get back to the classroom in which Jongdae was waiting for him.
“I am back! I am so sorry! I loved this I will use it none stop thank you hyung!” Jongin kinda slammed the door open very loudly but he can’t care less when he is this breathless all over again.
“You are welcome Jongin, it’s okay just breathe, c’mon you can do it.” Jongdae says placing his small, cute hands on Jongin’s shoulders in mock worry. Jongin shoves him with a grin on his face.
“Are we gonna practice hyung?” Jongin says after catching his breath. Jongdae shakes his head.
“Nah, I think you teleported enough for today,” Jongdae says chuckling. “I was going to ask you if you wanted to grab a lunch but you probably have plans for today?” and Jongdae is doing that shy smile again which is unusual for him when it comes to a subject like that.
“of course we can hyung. What kind of plans I can possibly have instead of eating lunch at this hour?” Jongin scratches the back of his neck and is doing best to make Jongdae comfortable again.
“I don’t know,” Jongdae says lifting his head and meeting Jongin’s eyes. “Today is your birthday I thought maybe you had plans… Maybe with your special person?” Jongin can’t help the laughter that suddenly comes to him and keeps laughing for a good two minutes and stops before laughing turns into crying.
“Special person? Me? Hyung, please,” Jongin says rubbing his eyes and looking up to meet Jongdae’s eyes. He immediately panics because Jongdae does not seem amused at all. Instead he looks very serious.
“Why not Jongin?” Jongdae says taking a step closer.
“Uhm…” Jongin starts but doesn’t know what to say but he is sure that he shouldn’t joke because Jongdae who is normally very funny and as good as joking as he handles them, looks so serious all of a sudden.
“I don’t know, I just suck at those stuff I guess,” Jongin says quietly. Jongdae looks at him for a while without a response, then he bursts into laughter. Jonging lets out a breathe that he didn’t realize he was holding.
“Yes, you suck at it,” Jongdae says and he just keeps laughing. Jongin just smiles awkwardly in response because even though Jongdae usually teases him, this just felt kind of weird coming out of Jongdae because he usually doesn’t judge Jongin’s life in the way that Sehun, Baekhyun, Chanyeol and pretty much everyone else does.
“You are really terrible at it you know? “ Jongdae says. “Really, really terrible,” he finally stops laughing and looks at Jongin.
“It’s okay hyung, I kinda got it on the first time you said it so don’t worry,” Jongin says rolling his eyes but this just feels wrong. Kind of mean… Coming out of Jongdae.
“For fuck’s sake Jongin,” Jongdae takes another step towards Jongin and wait.. DID KIM JONGDAE FUCKING SWORE? Oh god Jongin is probably in trouble.
“I have been hitting on you for like what? Six months?” Jongdae is looking at the ground with a small smile on his face and oh god… His cheeks are red? God, this is porn.
“You still look like you don’t have a clue though,” Jongdae says breaking Jongin’s daze. What was going on actually? Hitting on? Jongdae realized that Jongin liked him and he is angry about it? He doesn’t want it? Fuck that’s why he was repeating that Jongin sucked at this ‘stuff’.
“I- uhm I’m so sorry hyung! I didn’t want to upset you really I uh-“ Jongin is so panicked his mouth is working on its own and he is looking at everything in the classroom instead of Jongdae and it is not until that Jongdae grabs his wrist and pulls attention to himself that Jongin realizes he is actually pretty close and his eyebrows are furrowed in a cute way and he is sadly pouting and… Fuck the three pups Jongin has back in home. They are nothing compared to this.
“Jongin, i said that I like you,” Jongdae says and Jongin’s brain stops. “Can you stop apologizing for a second and actually say something about it?”
“I…” It’s probably coming. “I…” oh no it’s coming.
“Hyungilikedyousinceforeverreallyiamsosorryican’tbelievethisishappeninghyungiprobablylikeyoumorethanyoulikemeohgod-“ Jongin stops his mouth with his own hand. Today is his birthday after all. He will never live this day down. Jongin can’t live with all of this embarrassment. He is probably gonna teleport. Yeah he can feel his body getting lighter and it is okay really. He is not going to try to stop it this time. He can even go back to Amber’s apartment. Even that’s okay really.
“Fuck!” Jongin jumped back grabing his aching wrist and looking at Jongdae because, did Jongdae FUCKING ZAPPED HIM? Not to meantion he is looking at Jongin with that smug smile.
“You are not going anywhere,” Jongdae says grinning. “Did you say you liked me?” Oh waow, this is kind of sexy.
“Yes I did but did you just zapped me?” Jongin says. He always had a low tolerance for pain. Jongdae is pretty much laughing.
“You were about to teleport. It’s okay really,” Jongdae says holding Jongin’s wrist again gently and fuck Jongin thinks. He is just way too handsome.
“Because I can kiss it better,” Jongdae gets a little bit closer till Jongin can feel his breath on his chin. And before Jongin can lose his ability to talk and his brain gives an error he forces his voice out.
“I would like that,” is all it takes for Jongdae to smile in a kittenish way and pull Jongin down for a slow, honey like sweet kiss. Their lips moving against each other in a sync that is probably Jongdae’s professional work.
“I have been waiting to do this,” Jongdae says with a smile when they part and Jongin just closes the gap between them as fast as possible. Jongin’s body is tingling everywhere with all kind of emotions and he just feels so light, so nice.
Suddenly Jongdae’s lips are touching his nose and Jongin is kinda kissing somewhere like his chin so he goes up to meet his lips again and what the fuck? Did Jongdae tiptoe or something? And when his lips part to take in Jongin’s upper lip they just feel weird. Small and chapped and Jongin immediately pulls back.
“I was kind of expecting this,” Sehun says right before Jongin, licking his kiss swollen lips. “So do you want to go to the concert hall now?”
