okay, that sex asmr thing kept bugging felix's head.
when he thought about it, it really was an amazing idea. like, let's be honest, people are horny. and everyone has a knack for deep voices. if there were two things he'd flex about, one would be his deep voice and the other would be his mother. what? he was a mama's boy. and he liked it. he swore he had the best mother in the whole world.
"that is an incredible idea." jisung said, sipping on his boba milk. felix and his friends were now hanging out in a cafe outside their college since it was their break. "like, what do you gon' lose? it's just kissing."
"it's not 'just kissing' for me." felix snapped, air quoting. "you know i don't kiss random people."
"why do you even have to kiss people? you can just record two people kissing and get the sounds r— okay, it sounded better in my head." jeongin pursed his lips, raising his arms in surrender. he went to eat his red velvet cake, shoving the entire thing in.
"seriously, can you not eat like you're blowing some eleven inches?" jisung snapped, hitting the boy playfully.
"leave the boy be, han." chan giggled, playing with the crumbs of his cinnamon roll. "and felix, maybe you can record the sounds of the kissing booth. of course, we'd make sure the customers are okay with that, but besides that, i think you'll be good to go."
"true but i can't possibly record other people, you know. one, it's awkward. two, the sole reason i'm doing this is because i need to use my voice....you know what i mean? when i record moans, i want t—"
"i think we get the point." jisung stopped him, a little scarred from all the visuals. "if that's what you want, put on some chapstick and kiss someone!"
"dude, i can't kiss strangers."
"then kiss someone you know."
felix looked between his three friends, a second of silence lingering between. the three of them moved away from the boy with a disgusted look, looking almost scared.
"no!" the three of them screamed in unison.
"please, one of you can kiss me, right?" felix asked, no sarcasm intended. deadass.
"bro, that's incest!" jeongin snapped, the poor boy almost turning blue. felix turned to chan. the guy legit shook in his chair, moving away.
"fuck no." chan crossed his arms against his chest. "don't look at me like that."
"come on, man. you've kissed a lot of people, right? what's gon' hurt to kiss me?"
chan looked traumatised. "no way! we are friends. it's going to fuck up shit."
that's true though. two best friends kissing might sound cool on tik tok videos. but in reality, it changes stuff. especially when you have pretty best friends. not to mention, felix used to crush on chan back then.
he then looked at jisung.
"no. i don't know who you are. i don't know myself. leave me alone." jisung said, turning away in his chair, placing his arms on the top of it. he sat sideways and looked at the ceiling, pretending to not know felix.
felix huffed under his breath, almost pouting.
"then what am i supposed to do?!" he whined, kicking his legs under the table. the three of them gave a sympathetic look.
"lix, just join my kissing booth." chan said.
"for the love of god! no!"
"jeez, ok." chan raised his hands in surrender. he snatched the boba milk from jisung and aggressively sipped on it.
"then kiss hyunjin." jeongin suggested. everyone snapped their heads at jeongin, as though they were proud. uh huh motherfuckers. that ain't happening.
"so," felix sighed. "how do i join the kissing booth?"
"he's like this cute, little, cheeky squirrel. and guess what?"
"what?"
"our hands touched."
hyunjin froze in his spot, turning to look at lee know smiling with heart eyes, dizzy in senses.
"congratulations. when is the marriage?"
lee know glared at him, his smile falling real quick. the two of them walked back to their final class of the day. walking up the aisle, they went to their usual seats.
"not before these two." lee know snapped as the two of them stared at his friends making out in their seats. "seriously, bin, leave his prostate empty for once, please." he slapped his friend, changbin, making the couple move away.
this was hyunjin's friends circle. lee know, changbin, seungmin and himself. it's been a year and a half since changbin and seungmin had been dating. the two of them were inseparable. while they romanced each other, lee know and hyunjin made that 'sibling' pair.
hyunjin was the type to do no relationships. not like he didn't want to, like in those cliche ass rom-com movies. he just didn't find his significant other. to have a relationship required more, to him. which he never saw once in his life. all of his relationships were either short lived or ended up extremely problematic to the point he had to dump them.
so, guess you can call him the typical fuckboy of the group or whatever.
while this was hyunjin, lee know was the boyfriend material. he did no one night stands. only, relationships. he had had his fair share of boyfriends. unlike hyunjin who was pansexual, lee know was gay. every single boyfriend he had, he'd cherished them. he only slept with people who meant something to him. and that's why he was simping hard for the guy he met at an ice cream parlour, like two months ago. slow burn guy, i say. he knew how to take a relationship in its heat and time.
"jeez, who bit your ass?" changbin rolled his eyes, wrapping a hand around his boyfriend.
"bitch, nobody."
hyunjin and lee know sat down in their seats, placing their back packs down. the four of them always sat in the farthest corner doing whatever. they chatted among themselves while they waited for the class to fill in.
"dude, how did it go with jisung?" seungmin asked, looking at lee know. hyunjin rolled his eyes.
"not again." he groaned, slumping in his seat. lee know then proceeded to tell the whole story to the other two, right from the time he walked jisung home, bought two strawberry yogurts, talked about how he dropped his spoon and he shared lee know's. especially that disgustingly cringey fake heart attack shit lee know did every time he said how their hands touched.
hyunjin had had enough, man.
"and we're going to get ice cream after college. so i can meet my lover boy, okay?"
"sure. good to go, ma dude! get your man!" changbin urged, bumping lee know's shoulder.
"thanks, bin, but if you punch me next time like that, i'll kill you." lee know warned with a wide sarcastic smile, rubbing his shoulder.
"what about you, blondie?" seungmin asked, turning his head at hyunjin.
"miserably lonely. get lost." hyunjin said grumpily, turning to the other three. they stared at him silently. "seriously, i fucking hate being lonely."
that was true. hyunjin loved sex. truly. but the mere reason he started having a lot of that was for a distraction. yes, sex was his distraction. might sound like some depressed fuckboy's backstory, but oh well. he didn't grow up with sunshine's and champagnes like his friends did.
a mother who deserved the world, ruined by a father who gave no shit about her. with all the money and riches he had, none could make hyunjin convince that his father loved him. seriously, there was no doubt at all. hyunjin hated his father. for what he did to his mother, to himself.
but lately, he had grown tired. sex didn't fill the void in him. it didn't distract. the touch of naked bodies against his own sweat, worn him out, seriously. he had slept with many kinds of people. enjoyed sex so much. yet, there was a craving. a desire. the more bodies he touched, the more tired he got.
"then stop fucking around and get settled. simple as that." lee know said as a matter of fact, tiredly raising his leg and propping it on the edge of his seat.
"it's not that easy." hyunjin said grumpily, grabbing the bottle of water from his bag. he opened it and drank down a few glugs of it before shoving it back into his bag. "how do you guys even find your person?"
"we just left it up to fate. like, it's not about finding. it's about letting that person come to you." seungmin shrugged.
"sappy, seungie." lee know scrunched his nose. "but true. i still remember how i met hannie. it feels more like a pull, you know. instead of forcing myself to find him."
"you don't even know if jisung is the one for you." hyunjin spat. lee know glared at him, maliciously.
"for someone who is so single, you can climb out of my butt." lee know grumbled. hyunjin poked his tongue at him, turning his head with some sass.
"how did you meet jisung though?" changbin asked lee know, his tiny fingers swirling seungmin's hair.
"at the ice cream parlour." lee know smiled. "he was kissing a couple of cats some customer brought." he leaned behind and sighed, dreamily. "god, he looked so pretty that day."
hyunjin gagged.
"see? it wasn't that hard to find someone." changbin pointed out. hyunjin hated to admit it, but that was true. he might tease his friends, but he couldn't help but envy them. they were right. relationships for them indeed clicked.
seungmin and changbin met at a spin the bottle game in freshman's college party. and after that, they just escalated and grew into a very strong relationship. it wasn't like they struggled to find someone or even stressed themselves to. it just kind of happened.
maybe hyunjin should stop being so uptight.
"whatever." he muttered.
"cheer up, buddy." seungmin said, slapping his thigh. "if you want, we can help you find your person."
hyunjin's ears perked up. "you can do that?"
"of course, what are friends there for?"
hyunjin smiled. "okay then." he said, rubbing his palms together. "how do we start?"
"first and foremost, you need to stop fucking around." lee know said, raising a sleek brow.
"i take it back. i'll stay single."
"come on, man." changbin whined. "just do what we say. we promise you'll get there soon."
"what do i even get out of this?"
"a fucking partner!"
hyunjin pondered. he didn't believe his friends could help. but what was the worst that could happen? besides, he didn't mind taking a break from sex. he had gotten tired of it, anyway. maybe he deserved a break. maybe he needed to be a little more lose but serious at the same time.
"fine." he said. "i won't sleep around."
"hell yeah!" changbin patted his shoulder in an appreciating way. "now, who are you more into? guys or girls or others?"
hyunjin thought about that. for a while, actually. "guys, i guess."
"cool. now let's leave it up for fate." seungmin said with a small smile.
"what do you mean?"
"just follow your instincts. like, whatever it is. let's say, you ask out the next guy who walks into the class."
"that's what you call fate?"
"dude, just go with it."
hyunjin groaned, turning toward the door where a group of girls were walking in. his heart paced a little, anticipation filling him up. why was he even feeling this way? this was pathetic. and just like that, he appeared.
his fucking banking service teacher.
hyunjin quickly snapped his neck at his friends and glared at them. the three of them blinked at their teacher.
"okay...maybe not him. the next guy."
the four of them stared at the entrance, waiting patiently. why the fuck were it's only girls? like, where da good men go?
"seriously, this is ridiculous. i'm giving up. let's no—"
and then came lee felix, sauntering lazily with his slinked back pack that had a small carrot key chain. his silver-moonlight hair pushed aback, a couple piercings covering his ears. his freckles scattered under his eyes, blending perfectly with his complexion.
hyunjin's heart skipped a beat. it was the first time he felt that way for felix.
"felix." changbin and lee know said at the same time. hyunjin stared at felix walking in with his friend, bang chan, sitting far in the front.
"hyunjin! just go for felix!" seungmin urged, tapping his shoulder. hyunjin snapped out of his trance and looked at seungmin.
"what the fuck? no!"
"why not?"
"come on, it's felix we're talking about."
"and?" lee know snapped. "it's all the more perfect. open your eyes, fucker. besides, just follow the feels. fate wi—"
"to hell with your fate, alright? i give no shit about it. i'm not hitting on felix. end of discussion."
the three of them stared at him, sighing softly. "fine, then prissy." lee know rolled his eyes before staring in the front. the class started, the teacher droning about stuff hyunjin paid no attention to. as time passed all that left in his head was just one question.
what if he did go for felix?
"i don't think it's a good idea." felix let out nervously, playing with the name tag that was pinned to his work uniform.
"have a good time." jisung smiled at his customer, giving them their ice cream before walking to where felix stood. "it is a great idea. besides, if this works out well and you get more recognition, then that's great. don't worry too much, lix. it'll be fine." jisung brushed felix's shoulder in a comforting way.
"i know, hanji but...i don't know."
"hey," jisung grabbed his shoulders. "deep breaths. you'll be fine." he hugged him, brushing his hair. "and stop being so fucking dramatic."
felix rolled his eyes before pulling away.
"but what if i end up kissing a sixty year old pervert with bad breath?"
"trust me, lix. i think that'll be memorable."
"you're not helping!"
"i'm trying!"
jisung was always like that; cheerful. even now with all the weird shit he said, it only made felix feel better. there was an aura with han jisung that simply put everyone around him in some serene comfort. he had been an amazing friend to felix since high school. the two of them had been so close.
he could always trust on his best friend.
"is jeongin here yet?" felix asked.
"no. but he said he'd be here soon. don't worry. like i said, we're all here."
felix nodded, taking a deep breath. he walked back to his locker room and grabbed his asmr microphone and all that shit that was necessary.
"hey, you ready?" bang chan scuttled in, opening the door. "by the way, they are okay with you recording the audio unless it's not with video."
"yeah, okay." felix mumbled and stood up. "i can't believe i'm doing this, god!" he kicked his feet before walking out. taking a deep breath, he forced a smile. he walked to the small kissing booth they had decorated beside the ice cream freezers, in one corner of the parlour. he sat down on the chair placed there and set his microphone and other shit.
"ladies and gentlemen, the kissing booth is now open for today!" bang chan's loud voice rang around the parlour. they had a specific time of the day to open the kissing booth. so felix wasn't surprised to see the big crowd. fuck his life. "but today, vanilla kisses offers you a new kisser. give it up for lee felix!"
cringe.
honestly, why was felix even doing this?
he faked a smile as he waved at everyone; some even clapped for him. taking a deep breath, he put on the blindfold.
"here we go." he mumbled to himself.
"i already explained how the audio recording works. you know the rules; please be respectful. people under the age of 18 are not allowed. no disrespectful touching. no talking into the microphone. no taking videos of others. pay for your ticket and then get to the line." he heard bang chan's voice.
a line. never in his life did he think he'd kiss a line of people. but oh well.
and it all started. he was a little startled to feel a pair of soft lips on his, a little too shy to touch.
"your lips are so soft." he heard a girl's voice. he smiled.
"aw, thank you." he replied. guessing from her voice, she must be younger than him, probably shy and nervous. cute.
after a while he felt a strong invade of perfume. rich perfume. perfume too...prickly to be a guy's. in a couple second he felt two lips pressing against his own, a little too harshly. felix kissed her back, with little force though.
"that's enough, lady. keep walking." jisung's voice was heard. the woman forcibly pulled herself away from felix, almost like she didn't want to leave.
"call me." she whispered in her seductive voice, placing a crumpled ball of tissue in his palm. say what now?
"oh wow." felix mumbled, laughing. he wasn't expecting that. he knew he wasn't the best kisser. but he wasn't the worst either. however, this was not so bad like he had anticipated. in fact, this was fun. he could find himself getting a little excited.
but to hell with the perfume lady. there was no way he was calling her. he flung the tissue away and sat up straight.
after that, he kissed a few more people. not bad ones. he made sure to make a few kissing sounds that the microphone could catch. he kissed both guys and girls, none too interesting though. after few minutes, he fell bored, to be honest.
he reached for jisung to get a sip of peppermint to refresh his mouth. then he turned back to get ready. however, he was surprised to smell a strong cologne, musk like tropical vanilla. it wafted around him strongly and he couldn't help but feel at ease. it was so relaxing. but this was sure as hell a guy.
"you smell nice." he giggled low for the microphone, not knowing what was even happening with his eyes closed.
and then he felt a warm tongue, gently swiping across his lips, making him part them in surprise, a low gasp escaping from his mouth. then the tongue found its way inside his mouth, two soft lips pressing firmly against his own. this was sure to be one of his best kisses.
without wasting time, felix kissed him back, his lips moving fluidly against the guy's. he tasted sweet. so sweet. like bubblegum icecream. for a moment, felix could feel his head turn a little tipsy, fuzzy circles dancing around. after a few seconds, the guy pulled away.
"wow—that's an amazing kiss." felix whispered, his heart maddening in his chest.
