「』chapter 3『」

Start from the beginning
                                        

"ok. i can go try and find advil or some shit." he paused, tapping his chin with one finger. "funny, i'm not really hungover."

"thanks, and you probably have a higher tolerance anyways."

he laughed and finished his water, hopping off the chair and wandering away to go find meds.

i walked over to the fridge and opened the door, poking around to try to find something edible. no such luck.

ten reappeared a few minutes later, holding four of what looked like aspirin.

i raised my eyebrows. "are you sure you're not drugging me?" i joked.

"dunno. have to take them to find out," he deadpanned before breaking into a smile. "nah i wouldn't do that. i've only popped pills once and it was nasty."

i nodded and he handed me three of the pills, which i dry swallowed, him taking the fourth.

i looked around, more aware of my surroundings now.

"why isn't everyone else awake?" i wondered aloud, scanning the room.

"i don't know. probably still knocked up and/or out. who brought you?"

"mark and yuta."

"ah ok. do you live close to here?"

"maybe a mile away?"

"i live pretty close to here, do you want to go get cleaned up where there's not nut fluid everywhere?"

i cackled quietly, "sure. let's go. wait, uh, where's your shirt? you have mine."

"probably out in the shed."

"probably." where we heavily made out. last night. at a party.

"do you want yours back now?"

oh yeah. i was shirtless. talking comfortably with the 'school manslut'. how the fuck did i forget i was shirtless? probably distracted by the headache and ten's splotched neck and collarbone. i blushed lightly and looked away.

"let's go get yours."

"sooo, you want me to see your naked torso? i gotta say, not bad john." ten said, wiggling his eyebrows, blatantly scanning me up and down. ten was getting bolder as he woke up, much to my chagrin.

i felt my face turn the approximate shade of a fire truck and mumbled something about going to get his shirt, walking toward the door.

after enduring the painful walk through natural sunlight in order to recover ten's shirt, i decided to become a hermit and live in total darkness. my only friends would be memes.

i waddled back inside, using his shirt to shield my poor eyes from the stupid, bright ball in the sky. it didn't help that the owner of the shirt was barely even trying to hide that he was laughing at me. i scowled and shoved the piece of clothing at him

"i got your shirt, can i have mine now?"

he tapped his lips in mock contemplation. "hmmm, i don't know. i kind of like you without it," he said slyly, raising an eyebrow.

i wasn't in the mood for flirting, at least not directly after i was assaulted with sunshine. "just give me my shirt ten," i growled.

he noticed my irritation but continued to innocently push. "but it's comfy~"

"does it look like i care?"

"not really. but the thing is, do i care if you don't care?"

i groaned and rolled my eyes. "i swear to god, give. me. my. shirt."

"ooo demanding, are we?"

"i will physically rip my shirt off of you."

"one, that will ruin your shirt. two, are you really that desperate to undress me johnny?"

i hissed "little shit". i had definitely heard of his flirtatious personality, but i hadn't witnessed it beforehand. it was irritating, or at least it was while i was hungover. "ten..."

"johnny~" an irritating, sly smirk graced his lips.

"please give me my shirt," i said through gritted teeth.

"oh! there's the magic word." are you fucking serious.

he pulled off my shirt, exposing the extent of the splotches. they traveled from his neck down his toned chest and torso to the waistline of his pants. i tried to fight the blush that colored my face, but ten definitely noticed.

"ooooh, like what you see?"

i rolled my eyes, "whatever. just get dressed and we'll leave. the others are gonna wake up soon."

as if cued by my words, someone let out a loud groan, signaling that they had woken up with a nastyass hangover.

i turned to ten, who was fully dressed now, and whispered "hoshit. let's get out of here before the rest of them wake up."

"that sounds like a good plan. put on you shirt and we can head over to my place."

i did as he said, quickly tugging on my shirt that was warm from his body heat and tiptoeing towards the door, quietly slipping outside. ten followed and took the lead, directing us towards his place. as we walked, i wondered if he lived alone or with his parents. he was only a junior.

ten minutes later, i stood in front of his apartment door, watching him unlock it. he pushed open the door and flicked on the lights, illuminating the small but cozy apartment. we kicked off our shoes and ten made his way to the sofa. he plunked down and motioned for me to come sit too.

as i did, he stated, "i live alone, by the way. i moved from thailand and stayed with a host family for a while, but when i turned sixteen, i found somewhere i could rent."

"oh, that's cool. i wish i could move out, but i'm a broke bitch." ten laughed, eyes forming two perfect crescents. how did he know yet again what i was thinking? it was slightly unsettling, having someone so easily see through you.

"how's your head?"

"huh? oh. it's bearable now. thanks. why aren't you hungover?"

"i hold my alcohol well, i guess."

"you're underage. you shouldn't be drinking."

"hey! you're underage too, yet you got wasted as fuck!"

i frowned at him. touché. "well at least i'm a legal adult! you're still a fetus."

"i'm only like a year younger than you johnny. if anyone was a fetus it would be my friend jisung."

i huffed, crossing my arms, not really being able to think of a comeback. that name sounded familiar. "doesn't that jisung dude date yuta's boyfriend's cousin?"

"zhong chenle? yea."

ten leaned forward, "speaking of chinese, do you want something to eat? i have some leftover chinese take out."

"sure, thanks."

"mhm." he stood up, making his way to the small kitchen. i watched his retreating figure, trying not to stare at his pert little butt.
