Chapter 32: Can you give me a company?

"Hello, cutie! Can I join you?" a guy with silver hair asked. Kai was watching his favorite performance and he was so into it that he didn't notice someone was behind him, asking something to him. Yeonjun was rapping with all of his heart while firing the stage up. It was very loud so it was normal to not hear from someone who was talking with his usual voice. So, the guy thought Kai didn't notice him because of the noise. He came in front of Hyuningkai and waved his hand near his eyes. Hyuningkai came back to his senses and noticed the guy at last. He didn't ask anything but he was looking at the guy with his dough eyes which was questioning the guy. Kai didn't know who the guy was and why he came to him. He thought maybe it was a misunderstanding so he moved aside but noticed the guy was looking straight at him while smiling.

"Can I join you?" he asked again. This time HyuKa heard the question but he couldn't understand if he was talking with him or not. He pointed at his own and asked with a gesture if he was speaking with him. The guy found him very cute and he couldn't resist laughing. He shook his head positively with a big smile. He was holding a small glass of alcohol. When he saw Kai coming to him, he gulped all the alcohol at a time and put the glass in its place.

"Hello!" Kai bowed and tried to exchange greetings very gently. Hearing his cute but charming voice, the guy gave a satisfactory smile but more like a victory smile.

"Hello! As you see, I am alone here and I saw you sitting there alone...so I thought we should give each other company if you don't mind." he said very gently.

"Ah! It's okay, I don't mind but I prefer to stay alone." Kai replied but right after he realized he shouldn't have answered it as it seems too harsh so without giving the other party a chance to speak he said again, "But I can accompany you if you feel lonely." Kai smiled.

"Thanks! I would like your company." he replied.

"By the way, I'm Lee Haeok. You can call me Clark as it's my English name but I prefer the English name most." he extended his hand to shake with Hyuningkai. Kai took his hand and replied gently,

"I'm Hyuningkai. You can call me Kai."

[Note: I just used a random name for the guy. I don't know if there's any celebrity with that name and if there's anyone, please forgive me for using the name. But if there's no one with the name, then I'm relieved 😌 because this character is gonna be...*better not give any spoiler 😅*]

"Let's have a toast to our first meeting." Clark took a glass of beer and gave another to Hyuningkai.

"Um...." Hyuningkai was hesitating because he was bad at drinking so he always stays away from alcohol. But the guy looks much older than him. Maybe he was in his 30s, so the cute boy couldn't reject him. They clinked their glasses and drank the beer though Hyuningkai just took a sip of it. That time, Yeonjun finished his rapping and started singing to show off his multi-talent. Kai looked at him again and put a smile on his face since the sweet voice was ringing in his ears. The lyrics were telling him that his brother became a lovesick for someone though he had no idea who made his brother lovesick.

"Do you like him?" Clark asked, noticing that Kai was staring at him without blinking.

"Oh! Yes, I'm a very big fan of him." he said. He lied because he didn't want to get caught by Yeonjun though it was true that HyuKa became his fan.

"I can introduce you to him. He is my friend." he smiled proudly.

"Eh? You know him?" Kai knew all of Yeonjun's friends' faces but he couldn't recognize the guy so he was surprised.

"I don't know him very well but I know him. He's a friend of mine though we don't talk much nowadays. Hahaha!" he laughed and tried his best to hide his real expression.

"Ah! Don't worry, I don't wanna meet him now. Thanks for your concern but it's really okay to see him from afar." HyuKa smiled and answered gently.

"You're amazing! I really liked your behavior!" he replied.

"Eh?" Hyuningkai was confused as he couldn't understand what he did to be praised.

"No, I mean most people want to meet their idols no matter what but I've never seen someone like you so I found it so cool." Clark said. At that time, Yeonjun finished singing and he was preparing to leave the stage. Kai noticed it so he kept the glass down that he was holding for a long time.

"I need to go. See you later." saying this he took his leave immediately as he didn't want to get caught by Yeonjun.

"But! Wait..." Clark wanted to get HyuKa's phone number but he didn't get a chance at all. Before that Kai vanished from the bar and came outside. Now he can feel the fresh air so he took some long breaths.

"So, what's your plan? He seems bothered by you, Clark!" his friend came to him and put his arm on his shoulder, asked.

"Nope! Everything went as planned. The fish took the bait. Just wait for it now. It'll follow the hook up here. It must!" Clark asked and smirked.

"Keep it in mind that it's just a bet. If you can seduce him within two weeks, he's all yours but if you can't then you have to stay away from him. He'll be mine and I'll have him in my own way." his friend gave an evil smile.

"Just give me a week. I'll make sure to be with him on the same bed." Clark said and drank another glass of beer.

[I must break the fourth wall once again....😭😭😭our Kai is so pure-hearted that he couldn't understand that the guy was lying to him. Poor HyuKa.... Can't you see the guy was not so young like your brother so how can he be a friend of his? My angel! Please stay away from the bad guys 🤧🤧🤧]

On the other side, Jay was drinking with Sunghoon. Both of them were drinking slowly and chatting with each other. Jay noticed Clark and was surprised.

"Oh! He's here too?" he said, furrowing his eyes.

"Who?" Sunghoon tried to look at the guy but he couldn't find anyone suspicious.

"There he is! In front of the bartender! Can't you recognize that a**hole?" Jay said casually and pointed at the guy.

"Oh! That guy? Oooooo....." Sunghoon tried to remember but he couldn't recall any memories related to the guy.

"You met him in America! Hey! How could you forget? He tried to...Uh! better not remember!" Jay made a face as if he was feeling disgusting just by looking at the guy's face.

"Ah! US! I remember now! Oh gosh! He was so cunning! He nearly got me! Thank God you were there! I don't even want to think what would happen if you weren't there!" Sunghoon was saying as if something terrible happened back then and he was so scared.

"But, I need to thank him because it was him who made you fall for me." Jay smirked like a villain though he was looking cute.

"Ei! Stop being cringy! You gave me goosebumps!" Sunghoon wiped his own arms as if he really got goosebumps.

"Oh! This is what you call cringy? Then, I can show you more!" saying this he put the glass on the table and went to the other side to sit beside Sunghoon.

"W-What a-are you doing? Go back to your seat!" he became shy and said.

"But I'm serious. If it wasn't for him, Maybe I won't stop in that valley and get hurt." Jay looked down and said with a low voice.

"Hm. Maybe he acted as a cupid for us but I really want him to see in jail. He's a total jerk. He gave me trauma. I really can't forget how he approached me and tried to....." Sunghoon sighed and held his small glass and started to stir it slowly. He was lost in his thoughts. Jay noticed his boyfriend was having a hard time so he poked him so that he looked at him. And his plan succeeded because Sunghoon looked at Jay and asked what happened with his gaze. In reply Jay pecked his lips and said,

"Don't think of other men when you're with me."

"So.... You're telling me to think of another man when you're not with me?" Sunghoon laughed.

"What?" Jay was so surprised by his answer that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Ei! I was kidding." Sunghoon cupped Jay's face and said.

"Hmph!" Jay exceeded himself and looked at the other side.

"Sorry, babe! I didn't mean to hurt you." saying that he cupped Jay's face again to make him look at himself but Jay was so stubborn that he wasn't looking at him at all even though he was facing Sunghoon.

Sunghoon grabbed his lips with his own and bit it hard with his lips. Jay couldn't resist it and kissed him back again and again.
