Vietnamese Version “This is atrocious.” U-KISS’s manager sighed and glared at them.
Kevin cowered behind Kibum’s back, Dongho tugged Soohyun’s sleeve for help while the rest looked at the floor, waiting for the lecture.
“You guys can’t even order the right food. It’s steak with mushroom sauce not mushroom-sauced steak. Now they gave us mushroom soup and steak with black pepper sauce. Or are you doing it on purpose because you know I have an allergy for black pepper.” The manager hit the table once for attention. Kevin jumped on his seat, hugging Kibum’s waist tighter.
“You guys.” The manager sighed. “I don’t know if this will work, but especially the three of you, learn from the other four. Each one of you to choose a Korean member to learn Korean from. A month later, if it doesn’t get better, you all would get it from me.”
The members stared as their manager stood up to leave. Alexander asked meekly. “You’re no longer eating?”
The manager turned to glare at Alexander.
“It’s NOT! Not no longer! He hasn’t eaten!” Kiseop frantically corrected.
“Kiseop.” The manager called, and Kiseop quickly looked up with fearful eyes. “You’ll be Alexander’s teacher.”
“Y-yes.” Kiseop nodded, and the manager left the shop.
Kevin looked at the door, before cautiously pulling away from Kibum. “Can we pair up?”
“Of course.” Kibum grinned, kissing Kevin’s cheeks lightly. “Don’t be frightened, you know how hyung can be.”
“Dongho, you and Eli shall be a pair.” Dongho frowned and pouted at Soohyun. “I’ll be the overall supervisor.”
Eli and Dongho looked at each other. “Well, now it’s your turn to teach me, huh?”
Dongho chuckled at the memory of Eli teaching him English. “Yeah.”
Soohyun praised himself internally, taking the easiest job.
-
“What are you guys doing!? Watching TV?” Soohyun furrowed his eyebrows at Kevin and Kibum. “Go study!”
“It’s television.” Kibum turned to Kevin and said. “That’s the Korean word for TV.”
“Ahh!” Kevin nodded and whipped out his notebook, taking note. “How do you write it?”
“Mm.” Kibum hummed and scribbled on Kevin’s notebook. “Copy ten times.”
“Yes, sir!” Kevin giggled and leaned in on Kibum’s chest.
“Are you guys ignorin’ me?!” Soohyun stood akimbo and glared daggers into the couple’s back.
“It’s ignoring, not ignorin’. Note the character he missed out.” Kibum whispered to Kevin, who hit his chest lightly and giggled more.
“I know that~!”
“...” Soohyun sighed and turned to Alexander and Kiseop, sitting obediently at the dining table.
“So no longer means...” Alexander tapped his pen against his chin and pondered for the right word. He shook his head and tried speaking English. “No longer?”
Kiseop blinked.
“Kevin-ah!” Alexander yelled, causing Kevin to poke his head from his spot since Kibum was bigger than he is.
“Yes?”
“Is no longer, no longer?” Alexander said, switching to English the second time.
“Yep!” Kevin put a thumbs-up for Alexander to see.
“Thanks~!”
“No problem~!” Kevin said back in a sing-songy voice.
“That means that person must be doing this something before he stopped, before I can use “no longer”, right?” Alexander asked again to make sure.
An affirmative nod. “Yes, that’s it.”
“Hm, let’s house tour, and I’ll point at the things I don’t know the names of.” Alexander suggested. “I don’t know what I don’t know, besides.”
“Let’s tour the house.” Kiseop corrected. “Use anyway if you’re leaving it at the end of the sentence, besides if you’re using it at the start of the sentence.”
“Wait!” Alexander raised a hand. “Too fast!”
-
“Kevin, actually your Korean is pretty good, no?” Kibum pondered as he laid on the bed.
Kevin nodded. “But manager’s scary!”
“Hmm...” Kibum gave a naughty smile and pinned Kevin on bed. “I know a few words that would stop him from being angry...”
“What?” Kevin giggled as he pushed Kibum off him, searching for his notebook.
“Erection.”
“Heh? Repeat?” Kevin questioned cutely.
“Erection.” Kibum repeated with a sneaky smile. “Come here, I’ll write it down for you to copy ten times.”
Kevin obediently walked back to the bed, passing his notebook to Kibum, not realising the sneaky smile on the older’s face. “How do you pronounce it again?”
“E-rec-tion.” Kibum patiently pronounced each syllables properly.
Kevin made an ‘o’ shape with his mouth as he nodded in understanding. “What does it mean?”
“You use it in a sentence like..“Take my erection.”.”
“Take my erection? I have it? What’s that?” Kevin looked blurly at his boyfriend, who smirked dangerously.
Kibum took Kevin’s hand and led it down from his body to his sensitive body part, making him jerk from the sudden touch.
“This.”
-
“What’s that?” Alexander pointed at Dongho’s pyjamas.
“Pyjamas.” Kiseop replied, taking a bolster from the floor to hit Dongho with. “Aren’t you going to teach Eli?”
“Ah, I’m tired. Besides, he’s studying.” Dongho lazily replied, finger pointing in a random direction.
Eli was on the computer, busy typing away.
“Eli...are you studying?” Alexander asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Heh? Oh, hello. What studying?” Eli asked innocently as he continued typing.
“SHIN DONGHO!” Kiseop bellowed. “I don’t want the manager coming after us because you’re too lazy!”
“Aish, okay, okay!” Dongho groaned and got out of his bed, throwing a Korean book towards Eli. The older male caught the book and cursed Dongho for randomly throwing something his way. “Study!”
“Gosh, this is what I get after teaching you English?” Eli scrunched up his face and glared at the youngest member. Alexander and Kiseop nodded furiously.
“All right!” Dongho pouted and brought out all his books in his school bag. “Topic one!”
After making sure Dongho and Eli were really studying, Kiseop continued his tour for Alexander around the house.
“We should see how the couple’s learning. Maybe they have an effective way.” Alexander suggested.
-
“Oh my goodness! What the heck are they doing?!” Alexander shrieked the moment they got into the room. “Don’t you know how to lock the doors?!”
“Sex.” Kiseop immediately replied. “Was that too fast? Sex.”
Kevin blushed furiously and turned around so his back was the only thing that the intruders could see. Kibum fell on top of Kevin the same way and glared at them both.
“My fault you don’t know how to knock?” Kibum rolled his eyes.
“What sex? What are you talking about?” Alexander asked Kiseop, confusion clear in his face when he heard a new word.
“What they are doing,” Kiseop explained and pointed at the naked couple, “sex.”
Alexander facepalmed. “I didn’t mean that as a literal question! Argh! You both! I’ll have to have a word with you two later!”
“If you haven’t realised, I need to talk to you about your manners and walking into an intense lovemaking scene then creating a fuss and spoiling the mood.” Kibum gave another threatening glare which sent Kiseop and Alexander out of the room immediately.
“We still need to talk anyway!”
-
Alexander and Kibum ended up not talking about the incident. Kevin pleaded with Alexander to leave them as they are and managed to persuade Kibum to drop the issue.
“Only because you’re usually clear-headed, I hope you know what you’re doing.” Alexander warned. “And lock the doors, for Heaven’s sake!”
“Okay...it was sort of an accident though.” Kevin mumbled.
“How’s your learning?” Alexander asked as a passing comment. He took out his own notebook and showed it to Kevin. “I’ve gotten three pages worth of new words.”
“Kibummie-hyung makes me learn the weirdest words!” Kevin pouted. He took out his own notebook but hesitated to exchange it with the oldest member.
“What?” Alexander questioned instantly, more of an instinctive reply. He snatched the book from the younger’s hands and opened it to read. “What...?”
“I don’t know! He says I know pretty much everything already, anyway.” Kevin blushed in a bright shade of pink. “Is Kiseop a good teacher?”
“Well, at least he doesn’t pin me on bed and have sex with me.” Alexander raised an eyebrow as Kevin blushed and resembled a really riped tomato, before breaking out into fits of giggles.
“I don’t really want to tell you this, but you sound disappointed.” Kevin quickly took his notebook from the older member and returned him his own notebook, then taking off to the safety of his boyfriend.
“YAH! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?” Alexander shrieked, frowning a little as he thought through Kevin’s words. “I-I do?”
-
“Keyboard.” Kiseop answered helpfully as they decided to sit down and study the next day, watching as Alexander wrote the word. “Nope. It’s keyboard, not keyyboard.”
“Ahh...Like this?” Alexander asked as he wrote the same word without an extra character, frowning when Kiseop shook his head again.
The younger male then stood up to stand behind the oldest member, hand taking Alexander’s and guiding it to write the correct word.
“Like that.” Kiseop smiled, breath tickling Alexander’s ear. The older one shivered a little, from the contact of the hands and the distance (or the lack of it) between both of them.
“Thanks.” Alexander tried to say as nonchalantly as possible, gaining a pat on the back.
“My job.” Kiseop shrugged and went back to his seat.
“Take my errec- AHHH! It hurts!” Kevin’s voice could be heard two room away, even the soft sobs that followed. “Hyung! Wait! Okay! Wait! Take my ect? No- AHHHH!”
Alexander groaned and stood up, beckoning for the younger member to follow. “I can’t concentrate with the noise they’re making. They need to learn to be a little more considerate.”
Kiseop nodded and got to his feet, following as Alexander kicked the couple room’s door open.
“WHAT THE-?!”
Alexander cut himself short as he saw Kevin in tears, leaning his head on the end of the bed while Kibum raised his hand, aiming for Kevin’s bottom.
“Xander-hyung! Save me!” Kevin whined, quickly crawling towards Alexander and taking cover behind the oldest member. “He’s abusing me!”
“Kevin, come here.” Kibum ordered sternly, and Alexander felt Kevin tense behind him. “I said-”
“What are you guys doing?” Alexander asked while Kiseop kneeled down to comfort the younger boy.
“It’s okay, he has his mean moments.” Kiseop whispered, wiping away Kevin’s tears.
“We’re reviewing the words he learnt yesterday. Everytime he mispronounce something or forget something, he gets spanked.” Kibum shrugged. “It’s more effective, don’t you guys do it? Dongho’s reducing a quarter of a serving of rice everytime Eli gets something wrong. Eli’s down to half a serving of rice.”
“But he teaches me the weirdest stuff! Hyung, you know it!” Kevin’s tug Alexander’s leg weakly before sniffing. “And I don’t even know how to pronounce such weird words!”
“It’s true, you teach him bad things!” Alexander stood akimbo. “You’re the one that deserves spanking, how dare you hit poor Kevin!”
Kibum shrugged again, walking towards Alexander. “He’s my responsibility, I teach him what I want, I teach him how I want. Kiseop-ah, you should think of a punishment too, maybe something like-”
Kibum stopped in his words and pulled Kiseop up from his kneeling position, before holding Alexander’s and Kiseop’s head with both hands and pushing them towards each other.
“Yeah, kissing. Probably a good punishment, no? Kevin, get over here.”
Kevin sadly crawled back to Kibum, screaming when the older man carried him up to place him on bed. “Don’t hit me anymore!”
Alexander broke out of his temporary trance and pulled away from the kiss, blushing madly but turning towards Kibum. “I don’t want to hear anymore sounds from this room, you better treat Kevin well.”
Alexander then stomped away, leaving Kiseop in a daze from the kiss.
Kibum gave him a thumbs-up sign, and the other male blinked in understanding, before his lips curved upwards.
“Thanks, buddy. Owe you one.” Kiseop smirked, leaving the room and closing the door behind him. “Do what you guys do best!”
“Kiseoppie knows?” Kevin cocked his head to a side cutely as he stared at the door.
“Yeah, you had a women talk, we had a men talk. Kiseop’s interested in Alexander, too.” Kibum grinned and joined the younger one in bed. “My Kevin’s great at acting, yeah?”
“I was awesome, yes?” Kevin asked happily, cuddling closer to the older male.
“And he thinks I’ll hurt you, stupid hyung.” Kibum chuckled. “Now, shall we do what we were intending to do?”
Kevin blushed, but didn’t stop the older male.
-
“Keybode.” Alexander said and blinked when lips met his own the next second. “Wh-what?”
“It’s punishment.” Kiseop shrugged.
“You’re listening to Kim Kibum?”
“Sounds good, no?” Kiseop asked with an innocent smile. “Repeat.”
“Keyboad.” Alexander tried again, only to get kissed the second time. “But-but...how do you pronounce it?”
“Keyboard.” Kiseop said quickly, smirking sneakily when Alexander didn’t catch him. “Say it.”
“Keyboardd?”
Kiseop made a blowfish face as he pondered. “Let’s do this. If you fail to pronounce the same thing for five times, I’ll French kiss you.”
Alexander widened his eyes, embarrassed as to how coolly Kiseop was doing this whole thing. Was he the only one embarrassed in this situation?
“Come on, repeat.”
“Keybord?”
“Try again.”
“Keybored?”
Kiseop pushed his chair back and reached for Alexander’s shirt, wrenched it and pulled it closer to him. He pulled Alexander’s body up the table, ignoring the probably creases he made on Alexander’s notebook with that move and captured the older’s lips with his own mouth. His hands moved to the back of Alexander’s head to grab hold of his hair, tugging the older closer as he devoured Alexander’s mouth completely.
He then traced the other’s lips with his tongue, causing the older to unconsciously part his lips, giving Kiseop the access he wanted. Starting off slowly, Kiseop licked the other’s tongue tilted his head a little to allow his tongue to travel further. Alexander then announced a mini-battle with Kiseop, both heads blown away by the passion that got the better of them.
Alexander pulled away shyly after choking on his breath, resting his head on Kiseop’s shoulder as he regained his normal breathing. Kiseop grinned, gently whispering words into Alexander’s ear.
“I’m not kidding, I love you.”
-
Dongho rolled his eyes.
“We aren’t supposed to do this...”
“We weren’t. We are in a relationship right now.”
“There’s a difference?”
“Weren’t is the past tense for aren’t.”
“Hyung! If you wanna have sex, just do it! It’s annoying hearing you guys talk about the Korean language even in bed.”
“SHIN DONGHO! STOP EAVESDROPPING ON US!” Alexander shrieked from in the room.
“Get manager-hyung to thicken the hollow walls then. He didn’t think we have to deal with another couple that have sex, I guess.” Dongho shrugged. “And I wouldn’t mind the sounds so much if you actually sounded hotter. Could you put away languages for the moment and actually speak incoherently? I’d appreciate it a lot.”
“ELI, SOOHYUN! WHOEVER, GET THIS UNDERAGE BRAT AWAY!” Alexander screamed, causing laughter to be heard.
The three were eavesdropping together, none wanting to leave their current position.
“Fun to hear him put his mouth to better use, no?” Eli smirked and asked quietly, but rolled his eyes when Soohyun and Dongho ended up making out beside him.
“At least I don’t have to deal with you guys having sex. Soohyun-hyung’s too mindful of the laws.”
