Chapter 11 - He Did Not... Not Kiss

"I have a meeting to go to and prepare for the premiere tonight. I will see you tomorrow."

Shun's eyes widened and his heart fluttered. Was Jin forgiving him for accidentally kissing him? The super idol was really too good to him!

'A pure angel! A perfect prince!'

"Thank you, Senior Jin," he looked away and wiped his tears.

Smiling, Shun left the house quickly to hide himself in the studio away from the handsome idol he did not… not kiss.

For Jin, he stood in front of the closed front door and touched his lips. Closing his green eyes, he found the corner of his lips curling.

'He never denied it,' he laughed to himself before his phone rung. Heading to his couch, he picked it up and answered.

"Yes."

"Why did you not tell me you went live?! It is all over the internet. Who is this boy? Why was he with you? Suu Jin, what are you doing?! Think of the gossip and rumors!"

"Manager Yaotzu, remember your blood pressure. He is a friend."

"A friend? Just make sure to let me know next time. We don't want what happened before to happen again, got it?"

Suu Jin gritted his teeth and agreed. Hanging up the phone, he leaned against his couch and closed his eyes.

'He's different,' Jin told himself and licked his lips.

At the studio, Shun was so focused on dancing and singing, he didn't hear his friends calling out to him. A smacked to his back had him stumbling for a second, before he turned to see Wen Dong offering a water bottle to him.

"You work too hard, Ah Shun."

"Thanks," he smiled and chugged the water, before he melted to the floor.

They laughed and Wen Dong took a picture of him resting on the floor while Ping pulled on his hand. Sitting up, he wiped the sweat off his face and stood up.

"Hey, Shun, when did you make a Weebo? Oh my gawd! So many followers on InstaMe!" Wen Dong was surprised and he scratched the top of his head.

"I don't have as much as Ping Ping or Tee," Shun stood up stretching.

"But still," Wen Dong patted his shoulder, "We should go live together, Ah Shun. Then we all will gain fans!"

"Oh let's do it tonight," Ping Ping spoke up, "Ah Jin will be doing his premiere live on stage. Let's stream us watching it at my house."

'J… Jin…' Shun's face warmed and he swallowed thickly.

"What a good idea baby Ping," Wen Dong agreed, "Then let's meet at your place in an hour. I'll bring pizza! What are you bringing Shun?"

"Uh…"

"You can bring chips, gege. I'll have soda!" Ping grinned and how was Shun to say no to that face!

So nodding, he headed home to get himself cleaned up and went to the store to get the items. Standing in the aisle, he wondered which chips to pick up. Back at the kingdom, there were no such things as chips. He was overwhelmed by the amount of flavors available for him to choose from.

'Which should I get?'

"Excuse me," someone called out and he turned to see 3 females in their teens walking toward him, "Are you… Are you Xiong Shun?"

"Uh, yes," he nodded and they squealed, startling him.

"Can we take a picture! You sing so good."

"Um… okay."

Pasting a smile on, they took two pictures from each phone of the girls. They waved goodbye and he did the same, hoping there were no other people trying to get pictures with him. Grabbing two chip bags, he headed to the counter. When he got to the front, he heard the cashier gasped.

"Xiong Shun!" The boy cried aloud and he offered a nervous smile, "No need to pay. Go ahead and take it, I'll pay for it."

"What? I couldn't-"

"Please. I insist."

Shun took the chips and thanked the man.

When he got to Ping's home, he told his friends and they stared at him in awe.

"Free things! That is so cool," Wen Dong grinned.

"I want free chips!" Ping called out with a laugh, "But mama would put me on a diet immediately."

"Oh, where are they?" Shun questioned as he picked out a slice of pizza.

"Mama and baba are working. They said they will be watching us reacting to Ah Jin," Ping smiled as he looked at him before watching the television.

They agreed to go live on Ping Ping's InstaMe because he had the most followers. Saying hi to his fans and introducing Shun and Dong, Ping explained how excited he was to see his cousin's performance.

"Ah Jin always works really hard and I look up to him a lot."

"Did he write this song too, Ah Ping?" Dong questioned.

"He had been, Ah Dong, you know this."

"I forget easily," his friend laughed and Shun laughed along.

Shun quietly ate, trying to get himself together when he saw Jin's face. His mind kept replaying the kiss in his brain and it made his heart hurt. He felt the pat against his arm as Ping spoke up.

"Ah Shun, they want to know if you like Ah Jin."

"Uh, of course. He is talented and very kind," he looked at the screen and offered a smile, "Just like Ah Ping and Ah Dong. I am lucky to have them with me."

"Gege!" The youngest wrapped his arms around him and he laughed patting the boy's head.

"Like I said, Ah Shun. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you," Wen Dong cupped his shoulder and his smile softened.

"It's starting! Make sure you all are watching and supporting Ah Jin too!" Ping spoke up and they watched as the host announced Jin.

The pinkette was already on stage with his dancers, posing to begin. The beat started and the dancers began to dance around the idol. Then… The beautiful angelic voice of Suu Jin captured everyone's attention. His eyes were focused and when Shun saw those lips quirked, he felt his heart fluttered. It was getting too hard to breath or swallow the longer he watched.

What was only 4 minutes felt like hours to him.

'So perfect,' Shun's mind kept providing as he stared at the beautiful prince on the screen.
