Chapter 11: Just Kiss Me
The redhead froze, his gaze locking with Jumin's.
Wait... wait!
What's happening?!
He shuffled backwards until he touched the back of the couch.
"Wait- I don't understand-"
The man in front of him leaned closer.
"I said: It's not fair."
Seven's eyes widened and his breath hitched.
So... he wants a kiss?!
The redhead shook his head.
"H-hold on, so what you're saying is-"
"Give me a kiss."
WHAT?!
A-
"A k-k-k-k-ki-ss..."
Seven's face turned red as he stuttered out the words.
WAIT! I mean, I know I'm an expert playboy but this is-
This is way too sudden!!
Jumin raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly at the sight.
Then his fingers rose to tilt the redhead's chin upwards.
"Just one?"
His voice was soft, almost a whisper, and much like a plead.
Seven's heart pounded in his chest.
What do I do?
Is it just me or-
-Does he look really hot right now?!
He bit his bottom lip.
"I don't know..."
The man in front of him persisted.
"I'm jealous... I don't really know exactly what I feel for you, but I want to find out."
He ran his fingers through his hair.
"So please just kiss me."
Seven flinched, his lips being tilted closer and closer to Jumin's.
"W-wait!"
He placed a hand on the taller boy's chest, gently pushing him away.
Then he covered his face with his other hand.
"If you're asking me to kiss you, then shouldn't I be the one doing the kissing?"
Jumin blinked.
Ah.
Then he smiled.
"Do you want to?"
He asked softly, and the redhead in front of him blushed.
"I-I guess it's okay with me..."
Seven averted his eyes nervously.
"But I've never kissed anyone before..."
He bit his lip once again, and Jumin laughed.
Well, neither have I...
The black-haired boy put a finger on his own lips.
"It's simple, see? The target's here."
The redhead in front of him turned another shade of red.
Jumin laughed again.
"Hey, come on, if you won't do it, then I will."
Seven shook his head.
"No, I'll do it!"
He looked nervously at Jumin, unsure of what to do.
First should be... posture... right?
The redhead carefully wrapped his arms around Jumin's neck.
Yikes. I don't think my heart can take this.
"C-close your eyes, damn it."
"Ah, right."
Jumin shut his eyes, and Seven swallowed.
Next is-
Just forget it! I'll go along with what I want to!
He sighed, giving Jumin a kiss on the cheek for a start.
"I... don't know how I feel about you, either.
But you make me feel happy-
-in the very least."
Then he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against Jumin's lips.
To me you are-
-Somebody Important-
Seven felt himself being leaned backwards, and the back of his head soon touched the couch.
He broke the kiss after a while, his gaze meeting Jumin's.
The taller boy gave him a gentle smile.
"We can be friends-
-And then,
Do you want to try being something more?"
Seven's eyes widened for a moment.
Then he nodded, smiling back.
I want to be friends with you.
And then, I want to find out-
-Who you really are to me.
