Chapter Text
“Thank you again for helping me… You really didn’t need to..” Changkyun said, voice soft, he still felt a bit overwhelmed.
Currently, they were walking together from their dormitory building to the Science Building, where Changkyun would try to catch up on the lessons and the new place, people, and life that would be waiting for him.
“No, for real, I like you a lot Changkyunie, and Hyungwon does like you too, if he hadn’t had this prince issue he would have come with us… I can’t imagine how hard it can be coming back to Korea after years, and having to adapt fast plus all those science classes, guh..”. Something that Changkyun noticed is how touchy and clingy Minhyuk was. He was almost hugging Changkyun’s arm while walking and talking. Not that Changkyun would complain about it tho, the temperature was chilly and it was something nice to have a nice and handsome guy cling to him since early morning.
“Uhmm” Changkyun hummed in acceptance, “Can you explain what is all about this prince issue again?”, he asked.
“Oh!” the black-haired said, “it actually, means two things, Hyungwon loves to sleep, its barely impossible to wake him up, and also he needs to sleep with soft sheets or he will complain all day about how his body aches, the second meaning is related with the commonly known “pillow princess” term” Minhyuk squinted at Changkyun, trying to absorb his reaction about this kind of topics. Changkyun smiled and hummed again.
They continued talking, they lived near the campus but the building in which Changkyun would most surely spend most of his days was around 20 minutes away by walking. “I will take you first to the Mini Mall near your building, we usually meet for lunch there, also it has a couple of stores and restaurants, and it’s cheaper if you have the Uni ID card”. Minhyuk explained
“I don’t have it..” The ash-blonde said. “I know” Minhyuk smiled, “I will take you to the student office at your Building, where they will give it to you”.
Changkyun sighed, it seemed he didn’t research all this, it was quite handy that Minhyuk was about to graduate and knew so much about the campus, he got lucky when getting him as a neighbor, even if sometimes his loud and crazy gestures get a bit too much for Changkyun, it made him feel comfortable around.
They stopped by the mall, it was a blueish building, it had a mini market, a stationery store, a book library, a pharmacy, a coffee shop, and an American food restaurant. They stopped by the coffee shop.
“If you need money, you can come here and ask for a shift, Kihyun used to work here until this year, and they are still looking for someone”. The black-haired informed.
“I will have it in mind Hyung, but for now, I just want to settle down and catch up on the curriculum”. Changkyun answered, shipping his Americano, and resting his body on the chair. He looked around, it was a small coffee shop, but it looked cute, well decorated and the aroma of freshly crushed coffee was impregnated in the ambient, surely was a nice place to study when tired of the library. He will come assiduously here for sure.
“I can’t get out of my mind how brave you are, coming almost at the end of the first semester and in a career like yours… how was it called again?”, Minhyuk asked after finishing the last bit of the triple choco cookie he got as breakfast.
“In America, it is called Mathematical integration and cybersecurity, here I will take a double course kind-of? will take Programming and Analytics, and the other one is the mathematical analysis and its applications' ', Minhyuk eyes widened again.
Changkyun laughed. “It’s not the first time I tell you this Min-hyung”.
“I know, I know, but I still can’t quite assimilate all the information in that one phrase, Kid, you must be smart”. Changkyun laughed again, this time a bit louder.
“I don’t consider myself smart, but I like understanding things… and mathematics is the base of many sciences, and coding and cybersecurity is kind of a hobby to me? So .. yeah..”
“How many subjects will you take this year?” Minhyuk asked, taking the now empty glasses from their table, and giving them to the barista. They started moving to Changkyun’s Science Building.
“13, 6 this semester, 7 next one” he answered.
Minhyuk halted. “You are crazy, Changkyun, we are in the University of Seoul, Nationwide Known, you know how hard some classes are? Are you mad? like crazy mad?”.
“Actually, I don’t think so, and I know. My father used to be on the board of the Science Department when I was a baby? He knew some people and they helped me to see what was the best approach to end my career… Most of the subjects I will take, I have already done them in America, so most of the stuff is already in my head”.
Minhyuk still looked at him as if he was a kind of an alien. “ Damn, I know a sapiosexual guy who would just want to eat your mouth just by listening to your explanation”.
“Oh? Is he cute?” Changkyun raised his eyebrow, “Is he smart?”.
Minhyuk smiled like a Cheshire cat, Changkyun’s got goosebumps. “ I can’t tell you, but once you meet him, I will ask you what do you think”, Changkyun nodded, accepting Minhyuk’s proposal.
“Here we are”, they stopped in front of an old building, it seemed quite old compared to the rest of the area they walked around by, the exterior was made with gray stones, and old fashioned kind of British architecture. “This is the science Building, it has 3 floors, the underground is for the Medical students, they had some weird laboratory in there, they have another building nearby quite bigger so there is just those who come to do the internships, the other two floors are for the physics and mathematic departments” Minhyuk explained, “See that one?” Minhyuk pointed to another gray building, a bit bigger and way more modern, at least from the outside. Changkyun nodded. “ That’s the engineering building, there is also quite part of the science department, and you will surely have to come and go from one another.”
Minhyuk, as promised, took Changkyun to the student’s office, where an old but smiley man helped Changkyun by giving his ID student card, some maps, and a list of Teachers’ names with their emails.
It was already 9:30 and today his first class started at 10, Minhyuk again showed him the way, for some unexpected reason, the black-haired man was even more hyped, was he this happy because took Changkyun as a “foster mother” and was happy to see him start school? Changkyun questioned it in his mind but didn’t mention it.
“Annnnnnnd we are here,” Minhyuk said while spinning on the spot, flamboyantly making an entrance into the room.
Two people were in it. A woman dressed in a white and black fitted dress, she looked sexy but was old. Around forty more or less, still, she looked really good. The other one, was someone Changkyun already knew his face, tho this time he was wearing cute round glasses, and his hair was a bit curly today. Kihyun. They both took a step back, it seemed they were looking at some papers together on the teacher’s table, and it made them be near to each other.
“Welcome,” the woman said, “ I am Mrs. Kim, teacher of Calculus I, II and theoretical analysis of mathematics” She signaled with his hand inviting Changkyun to approach them, “I heard about you from my husband, Dr. Kim, how is your father Im-sshi?”
“Nice to meet you, Ma’am, my father is good, I will tell you to come and visit you if he comes by” The woman smiled.
“Factly, we were talking about how to approach your late entry to this course” She looked at Kihyun, “we are almost about to have the semester exams, and even though I am quite sure of your capabilities, I want to make sure you can follow my course”.
Changkyun nodded, but his mind was on Kihyun, this tiny strong man that not only looked amazing and cute with this harry potter kind of glasses but also deadly. Kihyun was glaring at Minhyuk with the most deadly stare he had, and not only that, Minhyuk had this Cheshire cat smile back on his face. Something was up.
“I am glad you came soon, this is Kihyun, is my assistant, even if he is in Medicine, he is doing an internship in the Mathematic and engineering department” That brought Changkyun’s attention. Ok. How? Medicine, Maths, and engineering? And he thought he was crazy?. His surprise must have been shown on his face, as Kihyun explained “My graduation project was the improvement of the cardiovascular bypass by the use of arithmetic and binary coding”. Changkyun gaped. Mind-blowing. He had before thought of the implications and uses of mathematics, that’s why he was studying them, that’s why he liked coding and cybersecurity but he never had thought of actually applying in such a way. Also, arithmetic? And binary? It could be so simple and so complicated to use both and with the human body equation as the hearts do change in rhythm… His mind was working, thinking how, whose, were the best uses, approaches, and connotations of this kind of investigation. Kihyun was smiling, proud of Changkyun’s reaction.
“Anyways, he will help you with my courses if you need help, also as I am currently helping some doctoral students with their final thesis, I usually explain the theory and answer the questions but leave the end of the class to Kihyun, he gives you the answers to the problems and collects the exercises, problems or presentations; not many students stay until the end tho...” She said, looking a bit sad.
“I told you, it is fine, and I understand that I am not a calculus teacher, and I can’t help them all that much, at least they do the exercises and those who stay don't make a big fuss. The caramel wavy-haired Kihyun said.
Changkyun raised his eyebrow, that was a contradiction, if Kihyun couldn’t help those students, why would he be able to help him? Weird.
By then, Changkyun felt how someone hugged him, it was Minhyuk, “Changkyunie, I will leave you here now, I have to run to my class” Some more students were now entering the room, it seemed the time for the class to start was soon. Changkyun hugged back. “Thank you, see you later”. He said Kihyun on the other side signaled with his head Minhyuk to leave. Were they best friends? This looked more like a Tom & Jerry situation.
Kihyun got down from the small stage were the teachers’ desk and big whiteboards were, and sat on the first row of desks. Changkyun following the cue, sat to his side, he usually would not sit on the first row, he tended to daydream away and he didn’t like to be caught by the professors. But for today, it will have to be.
The lesson was easy, he already knew it, but it thought the teacher’s approach was interesting, it was explained differently than his American books, was more straightforward, less complicated, but you had to catch it well or you wouldn’t get where things come from. It was a way to make sure students understood it completely or not. He was fascinated, he was able to stay focused all the time.
Then, she put some PowerPoint on the board, it had some exercises and she left. Kihyun smiled and said “ as always, whoever has questions or past exercises that want corrections please give them to me,” he said, staying in front of Changkyun.
Most of the students left, not really paying attention to Kihyun, Changkyun didn’t know what to do. “Nice to meet you, formally this time,” Kihyun said, in a soft tone, almost whispering. Changkyun looked at him, he looked younger than the other night, and that smile made him look softer, not a hard and strong man he got the first impression of, it made him curious, so far, Kihyun was the one he knew the less of all Minhyuk group of friends, and so far, they all were amazing people.
“Nice to meet you, “ Changkyun answered back, noticing that he almost forgot to do so, because of his running thoughts.
“There are only 20 minutes left of class, do you think you can do some exercises so I can assess more or less your knowledge? Also, if you don’t have anything else after this, we can go eat something together…” The light browned said.
“It would be great, yeah… “ Changkyun answered, meanwhile starting to do some exercises.
He could feel Kihyun’s gaze over his face, but whenever he looked up, Kihyun was looking at another place, was he imagining it? He tried to focus, he wanted to do as many exercises as he could in the time left, he really wanted to show how much he knew, he wanted to avoid the teacher babysitting him, or Kihyun by any means, tho getting to know him and be near a handsome and probably quite smart medicine graduate, sounded appealing, Chankyun didn’t think he was prepared to get too deep into anyone. He just moved in and making friends and opening to his old ones was enough to tire him.
Changkyun gave a total of 15 exercises to Kihyun, smiling said “You made them all correct, I guess we don’t need to be too wary of your grades then, I will tell Mr. Kim, “ Kihyun sighed “ it’s a relief…”.
“Were you so worried about me? Or, you don’t want to have to tutor me?” Changkyun asked with a raised eyebrow.
Kihyun got a bit red, moving his hands denying it while saying “No, no, it’s not that…It’s kind of-”. Changkyun interrupted the explanation “It’s fine Kihyun, I don’t want to have a tutor either, and I know you don’t know me to worry… It was just a joke” Changkyun smiled.
Kihyun looked more relaxed but a bit sad. “ It’s time, let me get the other exercises and we can go for lunch”.
They left the classroom and went to leave the exercises to Mr. Kim’s office, Changkyun waited outside but could see how Kihyun approached her and talked to her ear, inside there was another student, probably one of those doctoral students Mr. Kim talked earlier about. He could see her nod, and smile to Kihyun. Then Kihyun was outside by his side.
“We can go get some food, I will have to come back for the next class tho, so I have just 50 min to eat, when is your next class? Do you know where it is? “ Kihyun asked him while moving to the outside.
“ I have another class at 14:30, and the next one at 17:00, both are in this building, so I don’t think I will get lost” he answered smiling.
“Perfect then, let’s go to the mall and see if we can find the others, normally we all met for lunch but we have different schedules so, sometimes is hard to meet them all”. Changkyun nodded, remembering how Minhyuk showed him the place and told him the same.
At the restaurant, they found Wonho and Jooheon, talking with a tall and handsome man, Changkyun thinks he has seen it before, he is trying to remember the name, they saw him at the Arcade yesterday.
“Hyungwoo... Long time no see” Kihyun said, shyly approaching the table. The man turned around and looked a bit surprised. “Yeah.. ki... How have you been?” Hyungwoo moved on his feet, changing position, he seemed a bit nervous, both looked nervous. A small whistle sounded from the side, “Yay!!! It was time that you two talked again!” Minhyuk came running and hugging Kihyun. Kihyun tried to fight the hug, his mood looked a bit somber.
Hyungwoo moved his hand to scratch the nape of his head “We.. never stopped talking?” he said out loud, which made Minhyuk snap his neck to him, and then look back to Kihyun, and then back again to the first one. “Oh… great then, so…. You are on good terms now?”.
“Yeah…” Kihyun said in a lower tone, “We were always on good terms, didn’t we?”, said the tallest nodded, and smiled happily. “I have to go now tho, see you at Jackson’s party!”, Hyungwoo said and ran to a group of other tall men that looked that was waiting for him.
Changkyun left his bag besides Jooheon and moved to pick some food, meanwhile, he could see how Kihyun and Minhyuk were talking in hushed whispers, when he arrived, Kihyun left to pick his food.
Sitting beside Jooheon, Changkyun asked his now in front Minhyuk “ something is up?”. Minhyuk smiled “ Yes! We have a party on Friday!!! It’s been a month since the last good one, so I can’t waitttttttt and Ki is coming!!!!!!” Minhyuk chirped.
Letting the tray down, Kihyun huffed “ I didn’t say I was going, I said I might be able to”, he said out loud, looking to Minhyuk.
“Ah, yeah yeah, but you will come, because it’s been a long time, and you DO need TO RELAX. You have put so much pressure on this internship… we all get it, you want to pass to the doctoral area, but first, you need to do the internship, a master, and then the doctoral thing. Stop wanting to do it all at once, things take time and you look already a grandpa with only 26!”
“Sorry for taking my future seriously” he answered back. “Ki. Don’t be like this, I am your friend and I think I need to tell you that you are overworking… you are letting go of the best years and people… “
“MINHYUK”, Kihyuk almost yelled. Minhyuk noticing that he had talked maybe too much, just stayed quiet, looking apologetically to Changkyun, who was just looking how things were happening in front of him. “ I… Know, I know you are right, and I know ok? … I will try to go to the party” Kihyun said, a bit calmer while looking to Minhyuk.
Minhyuk smiled, extended his hand, and hugged Kihyun from the side, nudging his nose on his neck “Love you, Ki”.
“Yeah yeah, now let me finish my food before I have to leave for the next class”.
They talked about who was this Jackson, and why going to this party was one of the coolest things, this Jackson was on the fencing team, and was quite popular, he was the best on campus, Olympic level. And his friends were also known sportsmen on campus, included Hyungwoo, who was on the football team, being the Captain. They were celebrating that Jackson was going to sing with JYP Sports, which gave him a different amount of sponsorship. Plus, as Minhyuk continued explaining “They do the wildest of the wild parties on campus, they let them use the Auditorium Hall and-”
“Everyone fucks in them” Kihyun cut Minhyuk’s speech, “that’s why you want to go, orgy man”, Jooheon started coughing while watching Minhyuk’s reaction.
Minhyuk pressed his lips and kicked Kihyun under the table. Before he could say anything, Kihyun stood up “I have to go, See you later”,
Minhyuk grumbled to himself “just because I want him to get dicked doesn’t need to be a dick”, he said it in a low tone but Changkyun had a good listening ability and could catch those words. He smiled at Minhyuk, they continued talking until he had to leave for his next class.
------------
He got home at 8:30, it was just Monday and he was dead tired, the classes weren’t difficult but he felt like the day was too long. Maybe because he had to meet so many new people and places.
He stumbled into his bed, reaching for his forgotten phone, and seeing he had more notifications on Instagram, he wanted to reach and answer back the beautiful message he read this morning. He tried to find it on the pool of DMS, but couldn’t.
He sighed, he was tired but wanted to do something, It was too early to go to sleep, but he wasn’t really in the mood to do much, so he moved to the shower, a nice and relaxing shower would help him to get some energy, maybe he could text on the group chat Minhyuk included him, and see what were the others up to…
In the shower, Changkyun kept thinking about their new friends, everyone was handsome and had some interesting, he wanted to go party with them, see how they would react to his sassy and slutty self… After all, he was, normally a quiet type of guy, but as if he had two personalities, he knows how to have fun, how to flirt, and how to make people go crazy. Reminding one of the craziest parties he went to with Mark in the USA, he smiled. But a running thought came to his mind, and he started daydream because of that thought…
It was like that party, Changkyun had been flirting from far away with this guy, that was dancing with one of his friends, Chungha, but he wanted that man so he did all he could to call his attention, he wasn’t sure of this man sexuality, but that didn’t mind, he was drunk and so fucking horny he couldn’t stand his hard-on anymore. He danced and unbuttoned more his shirt as if there were much left anyway…
Changkyun pinched his nipples under the hot shower, he was feeling needy, the memories really were intense, but his mind was racing and the next his brain shows him turns him even more.
He was being pushed against the wall, he moved unconsciously to rest his back in the wall. A man was pushing him against it, forcing him to spread his legs while this man pushed his knees between Changkyun’s legs, pressing his crotch.
Under the water, Changkyun moved his hand to his hardening length, teasing it slowly, while with the other one he pressed his own throat, imagining how this man did it to him. Then his brain flashed him with a face, and a beautiful grin, a hottish glare, mad but at the same time full of intentions. Kihyun.
Wow, his mind was well-imagining things, he could ever hear music as background… wait, was that his phone?,
He opened the eyes and saw the phone vibrating and sounding on the right side of the sink. He stopped the water, dried his hand on the towel, and picked up the phone.
- Chankyuuuuuuuuuuunie, I thought you would never pick up.
- Sorry Hyung, I was in the shower.
- When you finish, come to my place, we are watching tangled!
- We?
- You, Wonie, Wonho, Joo, ki and me.
- …… OK, I will go in a bit.
He sighed, leaving the phone where it was previously, and letting another slow breath leave his body, he was still a bit hard, he felt horny.
Wait… was he just touching himself thinking about Kihyun? Brain? What the fuck? He thought to himself, he didn’t know Kihyun almost at all, was the one he knew the less to be honest. But it is true that from the beginning it rang the bell of curiosity on Changkyun’s brain. And factly, he has from the start thought of the image of Kihyun pinning Min on the wall, that kind of interaction was the one Changkyun liked. He was a bit into BDSM, more kinks. Yes, he knows he has a full list of kinks, but a man can have desires can’t he?
He finished his shower, this time without touching any sensitive areas, dried fast, and got to his room. Picking one of his favorite hoodies, it was purple and fluffy, it had fake fur that made it super soft. Put his black boxers and black Nike sweatpants with a purple line on the side.
His hair was still wet, he combed back, and got out.
He knocked on the door, it was open by Kihyun. Changkyun’s brain froze for a second, as his body did. Right, Min said this man was going to be here. Why didn’t Changkyun thought of it? On the implication? He almost jerked thinking about him. Oh, great. Now he was feeling the pull on his stomach. UGH.
Kihyun wasn’t wearing the harry potter glasses anymore, it took off some of his cuteness, and made him look more serious, something Changkyun didn’t like at the moment. Not at all, all the way around, Kihyun looked a bit upset, making him remember his previous hot thoughts and it wasn’t good at all, he could feel the pull in some of the muscles from his lower abdomen. Changkyun NO. He thought to himself, you can't.
“Get in!, you will get a cold Changkyun!” Kihyun said, in a wary tone. “I can’t believe this…” Kihyun pulled Changkyun in from the arm, pushing him inside Minhyuk and Hyungwon’s dormitory living room.
“Look Minhyuk, he came all wet because of you” - Kihyum said, signaling to Changkyuns hair. This one was turning red.
“ I love the way you worded that phrase Ki”, said Minhyuk. Now Kihyun was turning red too.
“Oh shut up!, you know what I mean, we are not watching anything until Jooheon and Wonho come back from the store.. He could have dried his hair if you wouldn’t call him in a hurry!” Kihyun disappeared into what must have been the bathroom as he came out with a towel in his hands.
“Sorry Changkyunie, I am still finishing an article for the column in the magazine, I should have told you, you had time” Minhyuk apologized.
“Don’t worry Hyung, it’s fine, I had nothing much to do, so I am glad to come early”.
He felt how someone took his arm, he looked to the side and saw Kihyun looking at him with a frown on his face. “Sit now. There”. He said.
Changkyun took some time to process, but Kihyun insistently pushed him down, until he was sitting on the floor in front of the couch. Changkyun smiled and barked.
“Woof, yes!” He said, looking with puppy eyes to Kihyun, who just looked at him while a wave of heat covered his face, even his ears were pink.
Minhyuk barked a laugh too, “Did he break you ki?”, Minhyuk joked while watching how Kihyun processed what was happening.
The later, finally moved behind Changkyun, sitting on the couch with his legs open, so Changkyun could lean back. He coughed a bit to clear his voice, “good boy, I guess”. He said while putting the towel on top of Changkyuns head and started to dry his hair, using the pressure of his fingers to scratch a bit on Changkyun’s hairline.
“Mhh, if this is what I get by being a good boy, I can tell you I can be really good,” Changkyun said, before thinking of what he was about to say, and humming while closing his eyes while liking the sensations.
Kihyun movements halted for a second, which made him open his eyes and look into Kihyun’s eyes, who was watching him, inspecting his reaction. “We can see that…”
Not long after, he could feel his hair almost dry, and a knock on the door halted the small massage he was receiving on his head.
Jooheon and Wonho were back with a lot of snacks, drinks, and “Tangled” the DVD.
He watched the movie, and talked and had fun, at some point the night he noticed how Kihyun put his hand on the back of his neck, playing with his short hairs in there, it almost made Changkyun meow, he felt so comfortable around these people. He fell asleep.
Minhyuk woke him, told him, that if he wanted he could sleep on the couch but that he recommended him to go to his bed, and that’s what he did.
Tomorrow he would have even more classes than today, he needed a good sleep.
