After countless months of being too self-conscious to expose himself with little clothes on, after much watching himself in the mirror, analyzing every square inch of skin, after avoiding for so long to do complicated dance moves, afraid his excess might be underlined, Eli decided it was time for him to lose weight.
He was an idol, after all, and once you’re constantly exposed to the camera, you must endeavor by whichever means to look as best as you possibly can. Eli carried this overweight-dilemma his entire life and one of the very first memories he could recall, back from when he was a kid, was being bullied and mocked because of his appearance. And while most people he knew could brag about memories belonging to the amusement park, or gifts unwrapping or anything sweet, mushy-related, he could only sit there, watching them reminiscing with fondness. He tried taking up Taekwondo, but he noticed over time that it was a sport meant to strengthen your bone anatomy and tone only certain parts of the body, which was pretty impractical.
He could never say the same thing about his facial structure, as that was -in his and many others’ opinion- his strong point, but when it came to the body, things always took a completely different path. Growing up the only thing he could clearly remember was having to go through phases of losing and gaining weight, every couple of months. Because he always had the stupid tendency of eating too much without exercising, or consuming too little with permanent working out, it usually brought along health problems, besides the obvious physical changes.
He had managed to maintain a somewhat unequivocal weight after arriving to China and, for some good three years, the diet he had to undergo -thanks to his financial shortage- concluded with an acutely skinny Eli who would occasionally faint because of the lack of proper alimentation. And really now, how much could a bowl of noodles a day provide a growing teenager? But now, after entering the group and finding himself capable of purchasing pretty much everything he had ever dreamed of, he was also beginning to notice slight fat layers that had crept onto his body, his abdomen especially.
Working out mainly meant developing muscles under a mass of adipose tissue, which only added to his size, so that wasn’t going to work. And wearing a ton of clothes could maybe cover it up for him in the cold seasons, but he felt like boiling during the warm ones, therefore this second option wasn’t a valid plan either. So in the end he concluded that the perfect recipe would have to resume in a vigorous diet, mixed with many hours of jogging, all of these sustained by a factual silence -since letting everybody else know about your insecurities was already embarrassing enough as it was, especially considering that Eli was regarded as the handsome one in the group.
And things tend to run relatively smooth for a certain period of time, during which Eli assures himself he can complete this mission without revealing his actual intentions to anybody. After a few months, when his members will look at him surprised and ask him how come he has become so slender lately, his plan is to look back at them with a confused expression on his face, faking that he hasn’t been noticing a difference and underlining it happened naturally, leaving them in awe.
He felt like mentally congratulating himself for the brilliant plan, until Kevin had to step into the picture and ruin his moment of glory.
They had known each other for far longer before becoming part of U-KISS, back when sharing toys in kindergarten and playing in the sandbox together was the most normal thing in the world. Eli liked to call it ‘sharing toys’, even if Kevin always sustained he would steal all of them, hide them in the bushes from his backyard and then forget about it for days. And he liked to call it ‘playing in the sand box’, even if Kevin had always insisted it was one-sided, with Eli making fun of the other’s small and crippled castle, deriding him by throwing a handful of sand in his hair.
They grew up witnessing each other’s embarrassing and sometimes troublesome experiences, laughed and cried together on rainy days, hugged and kissed when no one was watching because they were so damn curious to see how it was. Then it was that time when a male teenager is raging with hormones and he can’t do anything but date, so Kevin had to watch him flirt and take out countless girls -how many were they, really?- before Eli decided that the female population just wasn’t for him. And that was when he reoriented his priorities towards Kevin, who had patiently waited for him to realize this entire time and gladly accepted his clumsy and somewhat awkward relationship proposal.
So after almost a lifetime spent together it is no surprise that the one person who would know him best was Kevin, whose people skills and ability to read Eli like an open book sometimes annoyed the crap out of him. And when the younger notices him skipping meals and missing from the dorm most of the time, he gets paranoid and starts asking Eli if he had started seeing someone. At that he shoots his lover an aghast expression, wondering why in the world would he even think about something like that. Kevin points out that by not eating there anymore he must be eating out, and since Eli never eats alone, he must be in somebody’s company.
Therefore Eli had no other choice but to admit the reason behind his snickering out at five in morning and coming back late in the evening, apologizing at the same time for leaving a baffled and confounded Kevin behind in bed each morning, who had grown used to being woken up with a kiss. At that Kevin stares at him from head to toe, as if trying to point out to not even dare thinking he is anything less than perfect, but Eli, being the stubborn individual he is, doesn’t even want to listen. So he simply tries to calm Kevin down by convincing him this is only something temporary and won’t interfere in their relationship much longer, be patient, it’ll be over soon, try to understand me and all those lines that never really work with him. Sometimes Eli wonders why is he even bothering.
Kevin seems deep in thought for a while, until he announces he has come up with the perfect solution that won’t require any more lack of food or excess of exercising. When he’s being asked what it is and he replies confidently ‘Sex. Lots and lots of sex.’, Eli is sure his boyfriend must have lost it and reminds him the last time they tried having a sex marathon -just for the fun of it, to see who would last longer- their band mates had heard noises and kept banging at the door for hours, trying to figure out what the hell were they even doing in there.
But after what seems like an eternity of discussing -the one speaking being mostly Kevin, who made sure to underline how healthy sex is considered in medicine nowadays- Eli decides to just put up with it for no particular reason, other than the weirdness and trepidation of it. Besides, who would even defy arguing against Kevin when he gets so unyielding about sex? Eli knows from past experience that whatever Kevin wants, Kevin gets.
And so they immediately start advancing with their newly-composed layout, with Kevin initiating the sessions whenever they get a chance and with an Eli who never refuses, regardless of the danger and exposure they face.
They have sex right after waking up, between meals and before going to bed.
Kevin did thorough research prior to their little engagement, for the sake purpose of finding the positions that would help Eli most, no matter how uncomfortable or twisted they appeared. They do it standing, bent, while laying, on one side, on the table, sofa, bed, chairs and kitchen counter. The shower is Eli’s least favorite, because he can feel the hot water creeping up in all sorts of places and gives him an eerie sensation. Kevin, however, tells him that all the movement and the steams combined have the effect of a sauna, so shower-sex is not excluded from the list.
They also use anything sour they can find around the dorm, including lemons and grapefruits, because Kevin read some time ago that rinsing your body with the juice they produce helps toning the skin and accelerates the calorie-burning process. So he makes sure to moist Eli’s entire body with the half-squeezed products, making sure to leave not even an inch of uncovered skin behind, then starts licking everywhere, up and down, while at the same time massaging with the tips of his fingers his entire figure. Eli finds himself moaning in pleasure each time, because all this tongue-action usually ends up in Kevin giving him a blowjob, which results in an even more sticky and tacky Eli. This outcome is normally followed by another hot shower together, where they do it with Kevin slammed against the wall, with his legs around Eli’s waist, while the older thrusts within him without wavering.
Sometimes filming and nonstop practice makes it impossible for the two to have any sort of physical contact whatsoever, so oftentimes they find themselves having to bolt between the short breaks and hide in closets or bathroom cubicles, just to make sure they don’t divert from their pre-established itinerary. If the timing really doesn’t allow actual intercourse, then they just have to settle with kisses and moaning and plenty of touching, accompanied by a not as satisfactory but always welcomed climax.
On the filming set of ‘U-KISS Vampire’ Eli often finds himself being awaken in the middle of the night by a sleepy, but still needy Kevin and asks how come he can be so horny all the time, since the oldest barely has any strength left to move his hips according to Kevin’s insane Kamasutra positions. Kevin barely replies, but grabs him by the wrist instead and drags him towards the bathroom -because getting off with Kibum and Alexander in the room would be too goddamn weird- and he immediately places himself on the edge of the sink, with his legs spread, almost inviting Eli to take the next step. Eli does and they maintain this for the next quarter of an hour, after which both of them are too exhausted to even vocalize a syllable and they return to their room more tired than before.
During ‘Chef’s Kiss’, however, Kevin gets more playful and after they complete each episode, he sets off a challenge meant to stimulate Eli even more. They receive individual bites of the special dish they prepare each time only if one manages to help the other reach an orgasm within a limited time. Kevin doesn’t really worry himself over it, since he gets to eat more than enough food on a daily basis and still doesn’t gain weight, but for Eli, who only consumes half of what a normal person should, this becomes like a game of surviving. He is reminded with this occasion of the countless TV shows he had enjoyed watching as a kid, where people would be required to complete certain tasks in order to either advance to the next level, or to obtain a specific prize. And now, when he is allowed to take a bigger bite each time he succeeds, he doesn’t waste any chance in pleasuring Kevin, using any means he can think of - his hand, his tongue, his manhood. And Kevin sure as hell enjoys every second of it, because he keeps asking how come he hadn’t thought about it earlier.
Sometimes the others see them waking up and going to bed in the same manner - lifeless, constantly tired and limp. They can’t seem to understand how come two people who sleep so much feel so drained all day long.
But then again, revealing the reason would spoil the fun.
