Denial is Just A River in Egypt
Chapter 8
by: Sharl/zielddhy
Kyuhyun forced a smile as he signed yet another copy of his book. The young girl in front of him (disturbingly young due to the fact that he wrote a thriller novel with bloodied murders plus disemboweled bodies and not some Disney-like chicklit damn it) beamed back at him and was ushered away by her worried mother. She was replaced by a gruff looking young man.
The novelist peered at the line, feeling relieved that not much people left standing. It wasn't that he was ungrateful, but after having autograph session for nearly five hours straight he was more than ready to call it a day. It had begun with Leeteuk saying that he had opened a new bookstore and wanted to invite Kyuhyun to do an autograph session to boost up the sales. Donghae, that annoying editor of his, had readily agreed; cutting off Kyuhyun's protests with a cheerful wave and a perky 'good luck!'.
He ended the signature with his trademark underline and wrote a couple formal thank you words before handing the book back to the young man. And suddenly someone familiar joined the line. Choi Siwon was here, looking unnaturally tall among other patronages.
As a middle aged man stepped forward, Kyuhyun tried his best to act natural. He cursed under his breath, trying to ignore the fact that he had just wrote the man's name of 'Simon' as 'Siwon.' By the time the lawyer stood in front of him, Kyuhyun was a ball of fluttering nerves on the inside. On the outside though, hopefully he was still sporting that indifferent/haughty face.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
Siwon's smile fell. Kyuhyun was flooded with guilty again -it was always the guiltiness playing when it comes to Siwon- and asked in softer tone. "I mean, do you want something?"
"I want to see how you're doing."
Kyuhyun raised an eyebrow. "You text me every waking hour and call me every three hours," he pointed out.
The lawyer had the decency to look a bit sheepish. "Err, well. Anyway. This is for you," he shoved a bag to Kyuhyun's hands.
Kyuhyun eyed the bag suspiciously, couldn't help but feel wary because the last time Siwon gave him something ended up with him having swollen faces and runny nose. He peered into it and was immediately stunned.
"Oh," he said stupidly. Inside were two wine bottles, each was carefully wrapped so that it wouldn't smashed. But the one that drawn his attention was the label, he'd recognized it anywhere. Two red flowers entwined together, with the word 'Gallo Family' printed below in bold letters. He took them out and read: one was a 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon and the other was a 2004 Chardonnay.
"My friend just got back from the States and he brought me these," Siwon explained, "I heard you like wine and I thought you might enjoy them more than I will."
Kyuhyun was still stunned. These wine were quite rare and judging by the year they were made, were also expensive. "Thank you," he replied looking at the other. Clearing his throat, he put the wine back into their bag. "So," he casually said, "I'm done here. You want to grab a coffee or something?" Hey, it was the least he could do. After all Siwon had given him the wine. The coffee was just mere politeness and formality, nothing more.
The smile Siwon gave him as the lawyer nodded enthusiastically was blinding, it lightened up his whole features. Kyuhyun felt a warm, funny feeling in his belly.
*****************
Changmin was not a morning person. Everybody knew that, his family, his friends, his employees. Even his secretary was obliged to call him an hour before morning meeting starts, because usually Changmin just hit the snooze button again and again, or smashed the clock against something solid to shut it up. He'd lost count how many alarm clock he had been broken already.
However, in the case of if he had good sex the night before, Changmin would wake up pretty early. His logic said that a good fucking always leads to a good sleep and thus perfectly well-rested night.
It was no different this morning. Changmin woke up feeling happy, body definitely satisfied and a bit sore but in a good way. His brain always functioned well before the rest of his body did and so he remembered what happened last night even before his skin registered that the sheets were way too soft to be his own. Changmin smiled. Junsu was incredible. The sex was one hell of awesomeness, and he had tiny butterflies flying in his stomach the whole time.
He rolled over, opening his eyes to see Junsu still sleeping. The marine biologist looked so peaceful, with his mouth slightly opened. Adorable. His neck and chest were filled with bites and hickeys Changmin gave him last night. Just remembering how unbelievably good Junsu's skin tasted like was enough to make his cock swelled. He let his gaze travelled downwards and bingo- there it was, Junsu's morning erection.
Feeling wicked, he crawled over and trailed down kisses down Junsu's body. The marine biologist didn't seem to wake up. So Changmin did the next best thing. He reached for Junsu's cock and gave it a tentative lick before sucking it. Not even a minute later, hands cradled his hair and massaged it a bit. Junsu groaned, "this is the best way to wake up," he smiled down at him.
Changmin would have replied if his mouth wasn't full with cock. So he retaliated by swallowing it whole until his nose touched Junsu's body, making the man moaned appreciatively. His own erection hardened. Changmin's right hand grabbed at Junsu's plump ass, massaging it a bit and slid a finger right there.
Junsu groaned again. His hole was full of dried cum and lube from all the fucking last night, making a dirty squelch that only turned Changmin even more. He pumped in two fingers now, prodding and twisting until he found the bundle of nerves he was so familiar with now. By the time he's found it Junsu was a whole writhing mess. "Changmin please, please, hurry up and fuck me," he nearly sobbed.
Letting the cock slipped out, Changmin said, "hand me the lube, babe," and received it from a pair of shaking hands. He quickly lubed himself up. He was inside with one swift thrust, making them both groaned.
He fucked Junsu hard and fast because Junsu feltsogood and they didn't have time for slow fucking anyway. Changmin muffled his moans by biting the other's neck, leaving another hickey on the already abused flesh. Junsu moaned again, scratching fingernails all over Changmin's back. He felt Junsu tightened and knew that he must be close. So Changmin fucked him harder, reached for Junsu's cock and pumped it, making sure the rhythm was in line with his fucking.
A minute later white strands spurt out from Junsu's cock and came between them. Junsu contracted around him impossibly tight. Changmin groaned again. A few more thrusts and he came inside Junsu, adding more of his cum to what that was already there. Neither man moved for few moments, completely breathless and enjoying the post-orgasmic bliss. Changmin then slipped out and laid on his back.
He looked at the alarm clock; it was nearly the time to get ready for the office. But then Junsu rolled over, cuddling to him like an oversized koala and all thoughts about the office flew out of Changmin's brain. Junsu felt so good in his arms and for once, the gremlin in his head didn't say anything. Content at finally feeling sane again, Changmin leaned back and closed his eyes.
"We are so going to do this again tonight," Junsu mumbled sleepily. Changmin made an agreeing noise at the back of his throat.
An hour later, a freshly showered Changmin stepped into the kitchen. Junsu sat on one of the stool, reading newspaper and sipping tea. "Hey, I need to get going," Changmin consulted his watch and figured he just had enough time to get back and changed some clothes before going to the office.
Junsu looked up from the paper and smiled. "Okay."
"I had a great time last night."
"Me too," Junsu smiled wider. "So are we having lunch together or just meet at dinner?"
Changmin blinked. He looked at Junsu's hopeful face and the realization sunk in. Shit. So Junsu expected them to be in relationship now. Well, Changmin didn't do relationship. Period. Clearing his throat, his brain began to prepare the speech he usually said to the usual one-night stand crowds. Unfortunately this was one of those times that his brain refused to give direct commands to his other body parts.
Before he could stop himself the words already left his mouth. "Listen, Junsu, you're great and all but I don't see this as anything more than... You know." He watched as Junsu's face fell. His brain was screaming at him to just shut up and fixed this but once again his mouth refused to cooperate. "I mean, it's just not my style. I don't do relationship, you understand?"
"Yes of course, I understand," Junsu replied with a tight smile. "Now, I don't suppose you linger much longer in your one night stand's apartment now, do you? Especially not after you've got your morning fuck." He hopped down the stool and walked back towards the bedroom while slamming the door in the process.
Changmin stood alone in the kitchen, somehow feeling like shit.
*****************
Sitting on one of the plush sofa at the lobby of Choi and partners, Kyuhyun sensed something akin of déjà vu. He was once again waiting for the same lawyer to meet with him. However, unlike the last time, he didn't have an appointment beforehand. The same perky receptionist sent him suspicious glances every now and then because he'd been sitting in the same place for twenty minutes now without coming up to her. Add another twenty minutes and Kyuhyun was sure the gun-loaded security guy would kick his ass out.
What the hell are you doing, he berated himself.
This was all Donghae's fault, he decided. It all started with his coffee time (date) with Siwon the other day. Not even five minutes in, Donghae had called him saying that he had an urgent business to discuss. Kyuhyun then had said goodbye to Siwon, promising to call him later to make up for such short time.
The business turned out to be Donghae was having a really big fight with Hyukjae. Hyukjae had been offered a position as a lead dancer in some k-pop star world tour and thus will be out of country in the next few months. Donghae was upset because this thing came as really sudden, it also meant no sexy life for some time. Moreover the k-pop star was known to be a big flirt and wanted to get into Hyukjae's pants. By the time Donghae was calm enough, Kyuhyun had forgotten all about Siwon.
And so here he was, sitting at the lobby of Choi and Partners, all because he felt bad because he didn't call Siwon back. Moreover, the wine was really delicious (although Changmin didn't come over when Kyuhyun asked him to and that was really weird. He needed to check on his best friend later.) Kyuhyun felt he needed to say something to the man,or at least treated him for lunch.
Right, let's get this over with. He marched towards the perky receptionist with determined steps, ready to tell her that he was here to see Choi Siwon and was the lawyer available? He was about to speak when suddenly Siwon's voice filtered down the hall.
"...so I told that idiot that he can't win the case with this argument. He needs more evidence, get the witnesses to talk. You wont believe that he graduated from Harvard's Law School! This is a murder's trial damn it, not some ridiculous case in Ally McBeal's episode."
Oh god. Listening to Siwon talked about murder and evidence and witnesses somehow made his Hikaru and Akira muse struck in full force. Especially Hikaru, because he modeled Hikaru as a hot-shot, handsome police officer who was so focused on solving the crime and protecting Akira. He was really good at gathering facts, clues and evidences; it's what made him such a good police officer.
Kyuhyun had been struggling with his Hikaru muse for few days now, he couldn't get into the character at all. And so it was really weird that now all of a sudden his muse started to work again after hearing Choi Siwon talked about murder.
He was so preoccupied with the sudden inspiration that he didn't realize he was talking to himself and it attracted Siwon's attention. By the time he was back into reality, the lawyer was standing in front of him, beaming as usual like a Christmas tree. "Kyuhyun! It's really good to see you here! Can I help you?"
"Err, yes," Kyuhyun awkwardly stumbled, "I want to apologize because I didn't call you back the other day."
Siwon waved off non-chalantly. "It's okay, I don't mind. Anyway, are you hungry? Let's get some lunch."
They ended up going to a small Japanese restaurant nearby. In the middle of slurping his ramen, Kyuhyun noticed how different Siwon behave when he was with him. The lawyer seemed happy, like really happy, as it he just didn't told some idiot off and tell that to his co-workers. Was that normal? Which one was the real Siwon?
After much insisting, Kyuhyun paid the bill. As they were about to part ways -Siwon going back to the office and him writing the Hikaru Akira plot- suddenly his phone rang signaling a message just came in. Looking at the number, he noticed it was Changmin's secretary with a single word on the message: 911.
Okay, this doesn't bode well. There must be something going on with Changmin. He'd better call the secretary first before going to Changmin's place. "I gotta go," Kyuhyun said to Siwon.
"Oh okay. Thanks for the meal."
"No problem," he replied shrugging off before turning around. Only few steps later, Siwon called him. The lawyer jogged a bit so that he was standing in front of Kyuhyun. And then he leaned down, and without hesitation placed a kiss on the novelist's lips. It was really quick, or maybe Kyuhyun was just too surprised by whatthefuckinghell was just going on, Siwon was already on his way back, whistling happily. Kyuhyun remained frozen for a bit longer.
Wait. Does this mean that Siwon liked him?
.......
Eew.
****************
Kyuhyun pressed the doorbell at Changmin's penthouse for third time in a row. Finally realizing it was time for drastic action, he fished out the key he'd duplicate from Changmin two years ago (that idiot never realized it) and unlocked the door. The first thing he noticed about the apartment was how dark it was. He immediately frowned. Changmin only turn off the lights when he's about to sleep.
Then the secretary was right. She'd told Kyuhyun in frantic tone that her boss recently suffered from chronic insomnia; Changmin hadn't gotten a wink if sleep since five nights ago. After nearly crashing his car into a huge buss yesterday, the secretary had forbid Changmin from leaving his apartment before he could at least get some sleep.
Kyuhyun found Changmin in the bedroom, a huge lump on the bed buried under layers and layers of bed covers and blanket. "Min? Are you awake?"
Changmin didn't bother to move, he'd gotten used to Kyuhyun's sporadic behavior. Instead he just asked, "How the hell did you get in here?"
Kyuhyun shrugged. "I duplicate your key," he flopped down in a chair. "So. Insomnia."
A grunt was his answer.
"Changmin."
A muffled voice. "What?"
Kyuhyun sighed. "Go see a doctor, take a sleeping pill, do something."
Changmin took a peek from the blanket surrounding him and glared at Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun winced at how horrible Changmin looked. And sounded. "I rode a LifeCycle for four hours this morning. If it's a real bicycle I'd be in Belgium right now."
"And yet you still can't sleep?"
The architect gave him an impatient noise and Kyuhyun rolled his eyes. Of course. Kyuhyun kneeled at the side of the bed, feeling worried and partially curious. "What's wrong? Tell me?" He asked, head flopped adorably on his forearm.
Changmin finally turned and really looked at his best friend. "I accidentally slept with Junsu three nights ago."
"Huh?" Kyuhyun frowned. "Accidentally?"
"Yes."
"I don't understand, did you trip over something?"
Changmin gave him a look. Kyuhyun glared back. "I didn't plan it to happen," the architect moaned mournfully. He then explained what happened starting from the dinner and the stupid mola mola and god the fucking was so awesome and finally the incident in the kitchen.
You're an idiot, was what Kyuhyun tempted to say. But Changmin looked really awful and the novelist decided he needs cuddle and hugs more than anything else so he climbed into the bed and hug Changmin's blanket-clad form. Plus he knew how hard this was for Changmin. His best (stupid) friend was sometimes too stubborn for his own good. Even to admit that he liked Junsu and got over that huge denial thing.
Kyuhyun decided to change the topic. "Siwon kissed me today."
Changmin's head whirled around. "What?"
Kyuhyun nodded to confirm that he wasn't joking. "I don't think he realized what he did though. In fact, maybe I just imagined the whole thing. It happened really fast." He frowned, "maybe he thought I was someone else." The thought somehow made his heart hurt.
"Or maybe he really liked you," Changmin pointed out because really, even he who never met Siwon understood that the lawyer really liked Kyuhyun. But somehow this best friend of his was the only one who couldn't see that.
Kyuhyun responded with a huff and lifted Changmin's blanket to wiggle inside and cuddled with him. Suddenly he was the one who was moping around and needed comfort. "What happened to our happy bachelor life, Min?" he whispered.
"Fucked up, Kyu."
Kyuhyun sighed. It really was.

The first thing he noticed about the apartment was how dark it was. He immediately frowned. Changmin only turn off the lights when he's about to sleep.
Then the secretary was right. She'd told Kyuhyun in frantic tone that her boss recently suffered from chronic insomnia; Changmin hadn't gotten a wink if sleep since five nights ago. After nearly crashing his car into a huge buss yesterday, the secretary had forbid Changmin from leaving his apartment before he could at least get some sleep.
Kyuhyun found Changmin in the bedroom, a huge lump on the bed buried under layers and layers of bed covers and blanket. "Min? Are you awake?"
Changmin didn't bother to move, he'd gotten used to Kyuhyun's sporadic behavior. Instead he just asked, "How the hell did you get in here?"
Kyuhyun shrugged. "I duplicate your key," he flopped down in a chair. "So. Insomnia."
A grunt was his answer.
"Changmin."
A muffled voice. "What?"
Kyuhyun sighed. "Go see a doctor, take a sleeping pill, do something."
Changmin took a peek from the blanket surrounding him and glared at Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun winced at how horrible Changmin looked. And sounded. "I rode a LifeCycle for four hours this morning. If it's a real bicycle I'd be in Belgium right now."
"And yet you still can't sleep?"
The architect gave him an impatient noise and Kyuhyun rolled his eyes. Of course. Kyuhyun kneeled at the side of the bed, feeling worried and partially curious. "What's wrong? Tell me?" He asked, head flopped adorably on his forearm.
Changmin finally turned and really looked at his best friend. "I accidentally slept with Junsu three nights ago."
"Huh?" Kyuhyun frowned. "Accidentally?"
"Yes."
"I don't understand, did you trip over something?"
Changmin gave him a look. Kyuhyun glared back. "I didn't plan it to happen," the architect moaned mournfully. He then explained what happened starting from the dinner and the stupid mola mola and god the fucking was so awesome and finally the incident in the kitchen.
You're an idiot, was what Kyuhyun tempted to say. But Changmin looked really awful and the novelist decided he needs cuddle and hugs more than anything else so he climbed into the bed and hug Changmin's blanket-clad form. Plus he knew how hard this was for Changmin. His best (stupid) friend was sometimes too stubborn for his own good. Even to admit that he liked Junsu and got over that huge denial thing.
Kyuhyun decided to change the topic. "Siwon kissed me today."
Changmin's head whirled around. "What?"
Kyuhyun nodded to confirm that he wasn't joking. "I don't think he realized what he did though. In fact, maybe I just imagined the whole thing. It happened really fast." He frowned, "maybe he thought I was someone else." The thought somehow made his heart hurt.
"Or maybe he really liked you," Changmin pointed out because really, even he who never met Siwon understood that the lawyer really liked Kyuhyun. But somehow this best friend of his was the only one who couldn't see that.
Kyuhyun responded with a huff and lifted Changmin's blanket to wiggle inside and cuddled with him. Suddenly he was the one who was moping around and needed comfort. "What happened to our happy bachelor life, Min?" he whispered.
"Fucked up, Kyu."
Kyuhyun sighed. It really was.
