“Woojin is probably the nicest out of all of them.” And he was also the Maknae at eighteen so I feel like it’s my job to protect him even if he wants to set our dorms on fire. I know the pressure he’s under all too well.
“Probably because of the weed. I’d be relaxed too.” Lucas grumbles. “Okay back to the reason we’re even having this conversation. They didn’t see you, right?”
“Nobody saw us. I swear.” I assure him.
“And you won’t go keep doing this before the comeback?”
“Wow, how’s the kettle? A little smudgy?”
He rolls his eyes. “I deserved that.”
“I know.”
A knock sounds at the door. “Guys, we gotta go in a half hour, schedule change, the label needs us down there now.” It’s Jay’s voice.
I jerk open the door and pull him into the bathroom, then slam it behind me nearly getting my thumb caught in the process.
“Where is everyone?” Kai, our other bandmate calls out.
We all peek our heads out of the bathroom door only for him to stop walking down the hall, a frown on his face. “Is this another bear conversation again?”
Last year Rae walked in on Jay and Kai explaining sex to Lucas, using one of our merchandise bears. Clothes were thrown from the bear—not us—I mean, technically by Jay, but the point is the last time we were all in a room looking suspicious, it was because of sex.
Perfect.
Jay starts coughing into his hand and waves him over. He bolts and get’s right into the bathroom and stares all of us down.
“Is this one of those things I need to know, but probably don’t want to?” He stares pointedly at my mouth. “Sookie why are your lips pink?”
“They’re still pink?” I rub at them more aggressively even though I don’t mind having her mark on my body. No, I don’t mind at all.
“Look. It’s simple. You guys do you and I won’t ask any questions,” Kai holds up his hands. “Just, make sure you don’t get caught and I’ll look the other—“
Jay punches him in the shoulder. “I just got in here and they both looked suspicious as hell!”
I glance down.
Lucas looks at the wall and rubs away a small speck of what looks like dirt.
Kai leans against the door and sighs. “Just tell me this. does it have to do with the lipstick on Sookie’s face and any of you?”
“Partial correct answer.” I mutter under my breath.
“And will it happen again?”
“No.” I say quickly wanting to add on an,I wish.
“All right,” Kai nods in appreciation, he’s the second oldest. “Then it’s your business, and we don’t have to talk about it. Now we need to go before Rae finds us all in here staring at Sookie’s red mouth.”
“It is his color.” Jay nods in appreciation gaining a smack in the arm from Lucas.
We all shove out of the bathroom in time for Rae to walk down the hall. “We have to go now and what the hell were you all doing in the bathroom?”
“Birthday plans.” Jay didn’t have to yell it. “So you can’t know. Let’s go!”
The van ride to management is pretty tame.
When we pull up, Assistant Solia is already waiting for us outside the doors, her eyes flicker to Kai briefly before looking away. He refuses to tell us what happened between them, but they’re downright hostile toward each other now. Even the van rides feel chilly with the two of them in the same car. It’s been like this for months.
