3 years ago...

"Fuck!" Yutaka cursed at the unexpected pain on his earlobe as a needle went through it.

Taekyung had his mouth agape and smiled widely, "Oh shit, you actually went through with it!"

Chanho looked over at Taekyung with a wide smirk. "C'mon Tae, it's your turn."

Seonho laughed at Taekyung's terrified face.

Yutaka tried to hide his painful face and just smiled at Taekyung, "It's really not that bad, Tae."

Taekyung looked at Yutaka and arched his brow, "Oh really? So you're crying like a little bitch just because??"

Seonho put his arm over Taekyung, "You can't say no, Tae. This was the deal. Me, Chanho and Seonho get our ears pierced, you get you're ears pierced."

Taekyung bit his lip, nervously looking over at the needles. He looked back at Seonho anxiously, "But it really looks like it hurts!!"

Seonho cooed at Taekyung's scared face. He looked over at Chanho and Yutaka, "How about this? Taekyung doesn't have to get his ears pierced-"

Chanho booed at Seonho and threw an earring selection portfolio at him playfully.

Seonho caught the portfolio and glared at Chanho. "You didn't let me finish. Taekyung does not have to get his ears pierced. But... he has to do something with his hair!"

Yutaka smiled deviously at the idea, "That's a great idea, Seonho."

In unison they all turned to Taekyung with a creepy and devilish smile plastered on their faces.

Taekyung looked at Seonho with a grumpy face annoyed. "I thought you had my back, man!"

"Shut the hell up, you love me." Seonho said and pulled Taekyung in for a tight hug.

Taekyung became completely flustered by this and quickly broke off the hug, now blushing madly.

Chanho pretended barf, "It is dis-turb-ING, watching you two. Besides!" He walked over to Taekyung and put his arm over him, "I'm sure we all know that Tae loves me the most."

He blew a kiss to Taekyung, "Ain't dat right, baby cakes?"

Seonho shoved Chanho's shoulder off of Taekyung looking ready to square up. All the customers in the tattoo shop that looked hard, were staring at Seonho as he chased Chanho around the shop.

Chanho jumped on Yutaka for protection from Seonho. Yutaka screeched in pain, as he wasn't used to the pain in his ears and any sudden movement around them.

Seonho was about to jump on Chanho and attack him but when Yutaka gave him the death glare, he gulped and decided to back up and walk back to Taekyung.

Chanho climbed off of Yutaka, and carefully approached Seonho. "Daymmmm! I wonder why that pissed you off SO much!" He playfully winked at Seonho as he teased him.

Yutaka got off of his chair, and took the ice cubes he was given for his newly pierced ears, "Boys! Let's leave the shop now. If we stay any longer, the manger will eventually just kick us out."

Seonho and Chanho looked at each other and then down at the floor ashamed that they just made a scene and barely realizing it.

Yutaka waved Taekyung over, "Tae, come walk here with me. Since you're more mature than your hyungs apparently."

Taekyung laughed and followed after Yutaka.

Seonho watched jealously as Taekyung was "too close" to Yutaka. Chanho watched Seonho's reaction and couldn't help but snort.

Taehyung wasn't necessarily a bad kid. He just hung out with those types of kids. But he really didn't care what other people said about him or them. They were his best friends, and he loved them regardless of whatever anyone thought.

All boys were in 8th grade and all of them were currently 14, but Taekyung was the youngest and also considered the baby of the group.

Yutaka was like the leader of the group. He always knew what to do when the group got into trouble. He was a very rich kid too. He was really charismatic, flirtatious and very persuasive. Especially with Taekyung, but Taekyung had only thought it was normal since he's like that with everyone.

Chanho was the funny one in the group. Very silly and lovable. And devious. He was really good looking and knew how to break silence, pretty much knew how to cheer everyone up. Pretty wealthy with money. He had a sweet side for Taekyung but didn't know how to express it. So instead he left it at friends for now.

Seonho was the one completely whipped for Taekyung. Everyone knew, including Taekyung. Taekyung actually really liked Seonho back, but since he was shy. And he was scared it would change everything with his best friends. He didn't want to risk it because he loved each of those boys with all his heart.

Besides, all four boys were young and they could figure everything out later on.

Chanho looked at the time on his phone. "Wait guys... where are we even going? The sun's going down in two hours."

Yutaka pulled out his phone, "Here. Let's get a cab and drive to a local salon so Tae can get his hair done."

Everyone looked at Taekyung excited for the idea. Taekyung mumbled, "B-But I don't have any money on me..."

Yutaka rolled his eyes playfully. "It was our idea, do you think we expected you to pay? Of course we won't make you pay."

Taekyung shook his head with a gentle smile. "Oh, no really guys. You don't need to do that, maybe if we drop by my house, I can go get some of my money-"

Chanho interrupted him, "Shut up and let us pay. And get in the cab. Whoa, it came really quick!"

The boys hopped into the cab and made their way to the salon.

(^o^)

"Wait! So, you guys want me to go BLONDE?!" Taekyung shrieked in horror of the idea.

Seonho nodded his head aggressively. Honestly he thought everything looked good on Tae but he just really wanted to see what he would look like.

Yutaka patted Taekyung's back in comfort, and answered Taekyung with a simple, "Yes."

"WHYYYYYY though?! It's such a big change." Taekyung said still not wanting to go through with it.

Chen tried to reason with Taekyung, "Look. We aren't saying that you have to go full blonde. That wouldn't really look good on any of us."

Yutaka continued, "Exactly. Just a simple dirty blonde. Plus, this woman is a professional. It's not like she doesn't know what she's doing."

Taekyung look a long deep breath. "Let's do it."

All the boys clapped and made celebrating noises to the brave boy.

Seonho watched Taekyung peacefully seeing his cute nervous but also excited face. He was distracted when he saw Yutaka and Chanho talking outside of the salon. The conversation seemed a little suspicious but Seonho didn't let it bother him.

He wanted to be Taekyung emotional support for this moment. His only support.

The two boys talked while the woman was washing and dying Taekyung's hair. They had so much chemistry and loved each other's company.

2 hours later...

"You have to take your hair out of that shower cap before 10:00 pm tonight. You'll need to take a shower but don't use shampoo yet, just rinse. Wait two days to use shampoo. And yeah, that should be all." The salon women told Taekyung as she used some tape to keep the shower cap on Taekyung's head.

Taekyung bowed and thanked her. Seonho gave the women her money and a 70 dollar tip for being extra kind to Taekyung.

The boys walked out of the shop. Taekyung gasped realizing it was now getting dark, "Omg no!! I forgot to tell my mom I was going somewhere after school! My mom's going to kill me for staying out so late. FUCKING HELL!"

Chanho looked at Taekyung shocked. Usually when Taekyung is scared shitless his thing to do is cuss. But the funny part is that it's always unexpected when he does it.

Yutaka laughed out loud at Taekyung, "Tae, it's okay no need to worry. I already texted your mom and told her you're with us. She said you could sleepover at my place too."

Chanho punched the air excited, "Yes! Guys, let's have a slumber party."

Seonho immediately agreed to the idea. He didn't want Yutaka and Taekyung alone together. "Oh! That also means we get to see how Tae's hair turns out."

Taekyung sighed relieved. "Oh, okay!"

The boys began walking to Yutaka's place. I mean, he did offer to order another cab but his house was literally right around the corner so the boys decided to just walk.

(^o^)

"Wait wait wait, say that again!!" Yutaka told Taekyung trying not to spit his drink out.

Seonho was laughing at what Taekyung had just said.

"Well I mean, can you blame me??" Taekyung began laughing and continued to drink his soda.

Yutaka was mortified, "But your first impression of me was you thought I was a MAN WHORE?"

"Was he wrong though?" Chanho was laughing so hard he almost started hyperventilating. Which made sense cause he wasn't good at smoking weed but he was doing so anyways.

Yutaka rolled his eyes at Chanho, "Shut up, bitch. And pass the blunt."

Yes, his friends smoked. No, that didn't make them bad kids. And they weren't trying to be cool either. None of them were cool or cared for what anyone else thought about them.

They just liked distractions and temporary happiness.

Taekyung smiled at his friends, while eating some fine ass fries. He was really really happy.

Yutaka got off the couch to get more drinks in his mini fridge. "Refills? Anyone?"

All the boys nodded at Yutaka's offer. He laughed, "Okay, so refills for everyone then."

He gave all the boys their drinks and began walking to where Taekyung was sitting. He opened his sprite can and jumped onto the couch next to Taekyung but his drink spilled all over Taekyung's clothes.

Seonho furrowed his eyebrows, "Oh shit. I'll go get some napkins."

"No need. Shit I'm sorry Tae, I didn't mean to do that. I'll go get you some clothes to wear for the night, but you probably want to take a shower now."

Taekyung wasn't mad or anything. He just didn't like the sticky feeling of the sugary substance. "Oh okay."

Yutaka went to his room and picked out the smallest clothes he could find. Taekyung wouldn't really fit into anything that he casually would wear.

Yutaka handed the clothes and towel to Taekyung and Taekyung took it and began walking to Yutaka's ginormous bathroom.

Before Taekyung had completely left the room he heard Seonho, "Ohh... I guess that means we get to see how cute Tae looks with blonde hair!!"

Taekyung walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him and then reacted. He blushed madly. Seonho sounded genuinely excited to see how Taekyung's"new look" would turn out.

He looked in the mirror and stared at the shower cap on his head. Anxiousness filled his body as he grew worried that it wouldn't look good.

Well shit.

(^o^)

Taekyung was staring at his new look in the mirror. It was weird to say, but he didn't look like himself.

For once in his life, Taekyung had actually felt confident in himself and felt pretty...cute.

He smiled to himself thinking about how Seonho will react to his new look.

He took a last look at himself making sure his hair looked okay. "Here I go."

Chanho and Yutaka were looking at each other, laughing about something.

Seonho laughed too but uncomfortably, "What's up with you two?"

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a supr-"

Everyone's attention one by one turned to Taekyung. He was wearing grey sweat pants and a beige long sleeve shirt, with his now fluffy looking, dirty blonde locks.

He looked so cute and pretty hot too. His friends had always been attracted to him, but this was hitting different.

Seonho felt as though he was literally drooling over Taekyung in that moment.

The stares suddenly made Taekyung feel uncomfortable. "Uhh. Does it— look bad?"

All the boys in unison said "NO" to Taekyung and continued their staring at his flawless self.

Yutaka finally broke the silence, "Tae... you look... like... really hot."

Taekyung laughed but was interrupted by Yutaka. "I-I'm not kidding, you look fucking-"

Seonho cut Yutaka off, "Ew, stop it man whore! Don't make Tae uncomfortable."

Taekyung slowely walked over to Chanho because of his intent staring. He was still, in his daze.

Taekyung playfully clapped his hands in front of Chanho's face trying to bring him back to reality. But instead Chanho blurted out a low but audible "fuck me."

Taekyung's face flushed red. "Guys! What's wrong with you?! You guys are being weird and creepy with me all of a sudden. Stop being like this."

Yutaka and Chanho did not stop looking at Taekyung like he was a literal snack.

Seonho looked back and forth at them and decided this was just weird now. "Uh Tae, lets just go to the pool. Because I don't know how long it's going to take... for them to uhhh... come back?"

Taekyung nodded annoyed of his friends. He felt like they were shitting with him and actually making fun of him.

So Taekyung went with Seonho outside till his friends come correct.

"Ugh. They're such dicks." Taekyung said rolling up his sweat pants to put his feet in the heated pool.

Seonho chuckled and joined Taekyung, sitting next to him and dipping his feet into the pool, "They just don't know how to act in front of a..."

Taekyung rolled his eyes and dramatically groaned, "In front of a what Seonho?"

Seonho looked up at the stars that were seen through the glass ceiling, "In front of such a beautiful boy."

Taekyung widened his eyes at Seonho's expected words. He didn't stutter or anything! The boy don't even look shy.

"Seonho" Taekyung said was mentally panicking.

Seonho just looked over at Taekyung and hummed in response.

Taekyung took his feet out of the water and hugged his knees to his chest, "What was your first impression of me?"

Seonho laughed and thought for a minute, "Hmm... I remember thinking you were really smart."

Taekyung laughed. "What the fuck why?"

"I didn't mean school smart." Taekyung started laughing more.

"Well what about you? What'd you think of me when we first met?" Taekyung laughed shaking his head.

Seonho pretended to be offended, "EXCUSE ME?! I told you what I thought, but you won't tell me?"

Taekyung smirked, "Yeah. Pretty much."

Seonho glared at him and just looked away signifying that he wouldn't talk to Taekyung till he told him.

Taekyung gently pushed Seonho, "What? Why aren't you talking? Talk. Talk!"

Seonho was laughing but stayed silent.

"Fine! Jeez, you're so stubborn." Taekyung said finally about to confess. "I thought you were really cool. And you were pretty intimidating."

Seonho was shocked, "Wait really?" Taekyung laughed embarrassed. "Well yeah."

"But why? There's nothing intimidating about me, I have no importance to my name-" Seonho began down talking himself.

Taekyung slickly slid his arm around Seonho and patted his shoulder, "You're intimidating because... even though you have "no importance to your name"... you still make me shy and flustered."

Both boys shared a moment. They couldn't take their eyes off of each other even if a genie showed up offering wishes.

Seonho's eyes landed on Taekyung's parted lips. Fuck. His mind went blank. He didn't know what suddenly possessed him, but he leaned into Taekyung's lips never taking his eyes off of them.

He closed the small gap left between them and KISSED Taekyung.

At first Taekyung stayed still but then he began kissing back. Everything was going well until-

"Peace offering!!!!" Taekyung jumped from hearing Chanho's loud voice. And because of that Seonho accidentally fell into the warm pool.

Yutaka looked at Chanho ashamed. Chanho laughed and then apologized for laughing at an inappropriate time.

"Sorry about that Seonho. But anyways, we bring peace offering to you, Tae. In the form of a drink... But nonetheless a classic, a shirley temple!" Chanho said handing Taekyung the fancy drink.

Seonho climbed out of the pool shivering and reached for Taekyung's drink, "Gimme gimme! I'm fucking freezing here at least let me get some of the peace offering."

Taekyung put it out for Seonho to drink but before he could Yutaka quickly took it from Seonho, "No it's for Tae! He's the one who we want to say sorry to."

Seonho raised his voice about 4 octaves, "CHANHO IS LITERALLY THE REASON I FELL INTO THE POOL!! How in the FUCK are you gonna tell me I'm not eligible for a SHIRLEY TEMPLE?!"

"Sorry man. You should go shower though. Bathroom's that way. And for clothes just go find some in my room." Yutaka said, pointing to his bathroom nearest to the pool.

Seonho took a deep breath calming down. "Fine."

All the boys laughed at Seonho walking around literally soaking wet.

Taekyung shivered, "Can we go inside now? I'm getting kind of cold."

Chanho offered Taekyung his hand to help him up, "Sure."

The boys went inside, and while Seonho was still in the shower, the party continued for Taekyung, Yutaka and Chanho.

Taekyung was chewing on his straw playfully like the natural crackhead that he is. "Yo Chanho, you're honestly the best at making any types of drinks."

Chanho was trying not to burst into laughter at how funny Taekyung looked chewing a poor straw aggressively. "T-Thanks."

Taekyung grabbed some of the empty cans on the table and walked over to the trash can in the kitchen and began throwing it away.

Yutaka watched Taekyung do so, "Tae, you don't have to do that. The cleaner is coming tomorrow, he'll do it."

Taekyung laughed shaking his head, "Nah it's fine, I don't mi-"

Taekyung stoped stalking when he felt a strange tingly feeling shoot throughout his body. "G-Guys help-"

Taekyung fell limp on the floor. He wasn't able to move, and he wasn't able to speak. Though, he could feel the cold air of the AC on his face and he could still hear everything around him.

Taekyung panicked. Holy fuck is this a coma? I'm in a fucking coma?

Chanho rushed over to Taekyung. "Oh. He's out."

Yutaka clapped excited, "Fucking finally! That took forever."

What?

"I didn't think he was going to pass out that hard though." Chanho said right above Taekyung.

Taekyung felt himself being lifted off of the ground and was in someone's arms. "Doesn't matter now. He'll probably just feel everything tomorrow."

That's Yutaka.

"No not that room you fucking idiot! How many times have you been to my house, and you still don't know your way around this place?" Yutaka yelled annoyed at Chanho.

"Oh! I'm sorry if this is my first time doing this. You're such a dick to me sometimes." Chanho said sassily.

Yutaka rolled his eyes at Chanho, "Just open the door, please."

The boys entered the room and put Taekyung on Yutaka's bed gently. "Okay. Now go close the door."

Chanho obeyed Yutaka's command and did as he said.

Taekyung couldn't run or scream to get away from the situation. And he felt like such an idiot for thinking anybody would want anything to do with him, if sex wasn't involved.

Taekyung wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted to die so he couldn't feel any of the vile things the boys were doing to him as he was unconscious. He was broken.

(^o^)

Seonho walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his neck as he was drying his hair.

He walking into the living room and then kitchen looking for his friends, but once he saw that there were scattered cans on the floor his heart beat fastened and he ran around the house looking for everyone.

Finally he ran into Yutaka's room, to find Yutaka on top of Taekyung under his covers, while Chanho was in the corner on his phone, smoking.

Seonho's eyes turned red with anger and ripped the naked Yutaka off of the unconscious Taekyung and began punching the shit out of him.

Once Chanho looked up and realized what was happening, he had to pull Seonho off of Yutaka.

Seonho turned around and began beating Chanho as well, "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

Yutaka pushed Seonho into the ground and kicked him hard to keep him down. He then grabbed his shorts and slid them on. "You need to calm down."

Seonho instantly got up and grabbed Yutaka by his neck strangling him, "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?!!! To ME?!! You know how much I love him, WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!!!"

Seonho was crying at this point, and Yutaka was literally running out of air. Chanho pulled Seonho off again and threw him to the ground.

Yutaka gasped for air, coughing. "We were going to share him with you- We will share him!"

Seonho was so ashamed, "H-How did I become friends with you two. YOU'RE FUCKING SICKENING!"

Yutaka yelled back, "DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE A CHANCE WITH HIM ANYWAYS?"

Chanho kept Seonho pinned down to the ground before he beat them up again. "What did you just say!!" Seonho yelled so loud his lungs could burst.

Yutaka bent down to wear Seonho was pinned on the floor, "Tae might've liked you. For now. But what do you think will happen on Monday, when everyone sees his glow up? When all those other guys give him tons of attention."

Seonho didn't want to admit it, but what Yutaka was saying was getting in his head. "Shut up!"

Yutaka continued, "What makes you think you'll ever get to tap that, Seonho? You have... literally nothing you can offer Tae. You're like actually poor. You practically live with me! And yet you're so fucking ungrateful."

Seonho had tears falling down his face. Yutaka was being harsh, but he was right about Seonho. "Shut up..."

Yutaka looked at Chanho and nodded. Basically telling him to let Seonho get up. Seonho got up calmly this time. He thought Yutaka had a point.

Yutaka put his hand on Seonho's shoulder, "This is the only way to get what you want, Seonho. And plus, he's unconscious! He won't remember any of this tomorrow. Everything will be the same and everyone gets what they want. It's a win for everyone."

Seonho looked at Yutaka's hand on his shoulder and more tears continued to fall.

Yutaka grabbed Chanho's arm, "We already had our turns. We'll leave you alone with him, okay?"

Yutaka dragged Chanho out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Seonho walked up to Taekyung who looked peacefully asleep with brand new bruises on his waste and hickeys on his neck and chest.

Seonho took the unconscious boy into his arms and hugged him crying. "I'm so sorry."

That was the last thing Seonho had said to Taekyung in three years.

But when Taekyung heard rustling around him and then felt Seonho naked and get under the covers with him... let's just say that was the most painful part of that night.

Taekyung couldn't look Jaehyuk in the eyes. "I-I... when they all left the room that night... and I started to wake up..." Taekyung was barely able to get the words out of his mouth. "When I finally woke up I r-ran home. And didn't ever go back to that school a-again."

Taekyung's hot tears broke Jaehyuk's heart and he just realized it made Jaehyuk cry as well.

"I was s-o stupid!" Taekyung couldn't hold in the pain anymore and began sobbing into his hands.

Jaehyuk brought him into his lap, holding him in his arms. "No! N-None of that was your fault, Taekyung. You didn't ask for any of it. Please don't ever blame yourself what happened."

Taekyung looked up at Jaehyuk with puppy eyes, "You don't... you're not disgusted by me?"

Jaehyuk cried more, "No, never! I love you over everything, wifey."

They both continued crying, but a small smile made its way onto Taekyung's face. Because he now knew for a fact, he would love Jaehyuk forever.

"Thank you for telling me. I love you so much. I'm not going anywhere. Not now, and not ever." Jaehyuk said sweetly and held Taekyung close, kissing his forehead gently every now and then.

Taekyung grew tired and fell asleep in the arms of the boy he was in love with.
