Biting Feeling Chapter 12 - Eunhae

Heechul's plan was extremely vague, though very simple. The only thing Hyukjae had to do was to go back to the back one night without a concert with his friends. That and wear clothes that fit him perfectly. “Be well dressed, that simple”, that's what he said. Hyukjae almost asked him if he was questioning his clothes taste, but the wink he did right before leaving made him understand what he really wanted him to do. Get Donghae's attention, be well dressed as 'make yourself desirable'. Well...he could try. Thing was to get his friends into that plan without them knowing there was a plan.

Kyuhyun would be the hardest to convince there is nothing going on. Shindong...well, the skinny student knew Shindong well enough to know he wouldn't be stupid enough to not guess something was up. Shindong was way brighter than Kyuhyun made him look, and Hyukjae wasn't stupid enough to not let him know about that plan...

So, in the end, Shindong would know about it, because Hyukjae knew he wouldn't be able to make him go with him otherwise, while Kyuhyun would be given a mission, so he wouldn't have any hints on what was going on...Reason was, Kyuhyun wouldn't happy to learn Hyukjae accepted help from someone he barely knew. Especially when he had no clue what he actually planned on doing.

In the end, Shindong accepted and even came up with a plan, without telling Hyukjae, since it would 'ruin the surprise'. So, when they gathered up to go in the bar again, the three of them were well dressed. Kyuhyun went for a more relaxed style, his hair still lift up by gel, since he thought he looked handsome, but wore a plain t-shirt with dark pants, finished with eyeliner again. Shindong had a similar style as before, but instead of the black leather bracelet, he had a dark tone jacket. To Kyuhyun's surprise, Hyukjae wasn't wearing his usual casual clothes. He was wearing a stripped shirt with a black jacket on top, black pants and fancy looking sneakers. He had changed his brownish hair for blonde and had eyeliner.

-Eyeliner, asked the tall student. Seriously?
-Kyuhyun, I know I'm handsome, but please, contain yourself, the skinny student simply answered, smirking.
-Don't pull my jokes against me...
-Alright, let's go, said Hyukjae with a big gummy smile.
-Wait, why are you...
-Shut up and follow, Kyu. said Shindong.

Kyuhyun groaned and did what he was told. They entered the bar no problem, like usual. The different thing was the attention Hyukjae got from his different style. Some girls from their school actually turned around, double checking of this guy to be sure it was really that reject nerd who was almost crying in class weeks ago, not to mention Shindong and Kyuhyun who looked as good.

It couldn't be them...

-Hi, the barmaid said with a straight face.
-Hi, answered Hyukjae, staring a little too much.

She didn't look like Ariane-Li, but was really similar.

-Where is Ariane-Li, asked Kyuhyun.
-She's dead.

Silence. She smirked.

-Let's get a table, Kyu, said Shindong, smiling at Hyukjae.
-Wait, I have something to ask the lady. Are you sibling with the other barmaid?
-Maybe, she answered.
-Sister?
-Maybe.
-Cousin?
-Maybe.
-Are you going to answer seriously?
-No.
-For a bigger tip?
-Okay.
-Really? That easy?
-Just kidding, I won't. You won't get anything from me, dude.

Kyuhyun frowned. His friends tried to get his attention a few times before giving up, smiling widely. Oh, Kyuhyun's competitve attitude. There was no way he was going to leave until he had at least one anwser. The two other students walked to a table, laughing.

-You're the best, Shindong! That was the best plan ever.
-Thanks. I hope your plan will go smoothly...Though, what is it exactly?
-I have no clue. I'm still wondering what he was planing on doing in the first place. I'm a little scared, to be honest.
-Well, at least you look good.
-Thanks...I guess.

The chubby student patted his friend's shoulder and smiled.

-I'll go check on Kyuhyun, though. I think he might bother that barmaid too much if I let him annoy her like that. Wanna come?
-I'll save the table over there instead. I'll wait for you guys.
-Okay!

Shindong turned around and went to get Kyuhyun. Now that he was kind of obsessed with this mysterious barmaid, he wouldn't ask anything about Hyukjae's new style, at least long enough for him to know what he was actually supposed to do. Heechul hadn't been to much into the details. He wasn't worried, though, he just didn't know what he would say to Donghae, not after that heated moment near the bathrooms. Hyukjae walked to the table he told his friend he would go to and sat down, waiting for them to come back.

Talking about Heechul, he was backstage, aiming for Donghae who was talking with Hangeng. He had a big smile on his face, like he always did when he had something in mind. Hangeng noticed, but said nothing, only looking up at his lover when he was close enough.

-Where were you, Heechul, asked Hangeng. You seem to hang around in the bar a lot lately.
-I was looking for that kid Donghae brought back here weeks ago. He came around a few days ago.
-He did, asked Donghae, turning around suddenly.
-Yeah. Talked a while before he left. I think he was coming back tonight with some friends.
-Really?
-Why would I lie about that...

Donghae stood up and walked out. The drummer looked at him leave before looking back on his older lover, smirking. Hangeng was smiling.

-You planned this, right, said the guitarist.

Heechul only smirked.

Hyukjae was still waiting, looking at his friends talking to Arianne-Li's replacement. Kyuhyun was probably still trying to get her to say her name or something. His head was resting on his hand, holding it up, looking like he was lost in his thoughts. When an hand touched his shoulder, he jumped a little, then looked to his side, wondering who it was. His mind didn't have the time to process the face he saw before he was pulled from his seat and dragged through the bar, heading towards the entrance. He followed this person until he stopped near an appartment building, pushing Hyukjae against the wall. It was rough, but not enough to actually hurt him. Lips crashed on his, lips he knew and they were extremely fierce. Hands hold up his face and made sure he wouldn't go anywhere.

Donghae broke the kiss, still holding the student's head. The younger one was trying to focus, the bassist's kisses always making his mind a total mess. It seemed to please the elder.

-Can I ask you something, said Donghae with a low voice.

It was deep, filled with lust and desire. The student might be a virgin, but he knew Donghae wasn't there just to say hi. He simply nodded as an answer. Donghae's skillful fingers played with the trim of Hyukjae's stripped shirt, tugging on it gently before slipping under the fabric, making the younger man shiver under his touch. Donghae was so near, Hyukjae could feel his breath hit the side of his face as he was leaning forward, aiming for his ear.

-Can you stay with me tonight?
