Want to Try it Out?Ch21 - I Don’t Want to Act Any More

A day has passed since Chang Min kissed Ye Xun. He holed himself in his room as his fingers flew across his keyboard, typing chapters after chapters.

Yesterday, when he came home, Chang Min was not in the mood to write or do anything. Instead, his mind kept replaying the kiss over and over again. And the hardness in his pants took forever to disappear. 

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He did not want to touch himself, fearing that things had already become too real, and feeling himself while thinking about Ye Xun seals it.

So, Chang Min did the next best thing; he slept it off. And when he woke up the following day from a wet dream, Chang Min quickly ran around his house like an idiot to clear his mind. 

 

He showered, ate, cleaned and moved stuff around, exercised, and watched shows to think of other thoughts.

But as the afternoon left and night entered, Chang Min failed. He even turned off his phone to not deal with the outside world, and still could not keep Ye Xun from his mind. 

 

So, he went back to the beginning: writing to deal with his problems. 

  IhaTzt

At first, he thought words wouldn’t come, but he started typing like no tomorrow once his fingers landed on his keyboard. 

 

And now, on his tenth chapter, Chang Min showed no signs of slowing down. Instead, his eyes laid focus on the screen, never letting up from the words.

Cain grabbed Alex, pulling the man into his lap. Alex’s hand landed in the middle of his chest, his fingers spread out as he once again tried to keep space between them. But, Cain could feel the slight tremble in them. 

 

And that one hand always knew how to represent their relationship. Cain pulled and pulled while Alex tried to push even though his body always gave him away.

It was a never-ending tug-of-war between them that Cain started to grow tired of. He told himself he would always fight for Alex. Even if the man caused the beast within to appear, he also quenched it. 

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He sighed, looking at Alex with somber soft eyes, causing Alex to deflate, his hand sliding down his chest as it lost its force.

“Alex, look at me and tell me the truth. Do you want me to stop chasing you? Because if that is what you truly want, I will.” Cain spoke, sounding beyond tired. Even his slumped shoulders gave way to how he felt.

 

Alex looked in the eyes, shaking his head, “I don’t want you to leave.” His voice sounded like it almost caught on his words.

“Then, what is it, Alex? Tell me.” 

 

“I want you. Every part of me wants you, Cain. But isn’t this wrong? You can have a life with some beautiful woman and a child of your own; you should not let me drag you down into a life of sin.” Alex explained, slamming his chest as his voice rose in volume.

Cain pulled Alex closer until they were barely an inch apart. He looked at Alex with all the love he could muster. “If being with you is a sin, then let me drown in it.” He softly whispered. 

 

Alex looked at him with surprise before glancing away. His heart pounded from the closeness, his stomach going crazy from the butterflies, while his craving grew worse.

Longing, sorrow, and pain could not help but enter Alex’s eyes, “Don’t say that, Cain. We shouldn’t do this.” 

 

Cain grabbed Alex’s chin, holding it in place so that they faced each other. “Then stop me. Tell me you want to stop this, and I will.”

Alex opened his mouth, the words ready on the tip of his tongue, but nothing came out. Cain took one glance into Alex’s beautiful, pained eyes before kissing him. 

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Alex inhaled once Cain’s lips descended on his. His eyes closed as his body vibrated in pleasure. Nothing could stop his arms from wrapping around Cain’s neck and pulling him close as he kissed back.

Cain’s hand tightly gripped Alex’s shirt, not ever wanting to let go. Alex can say that what they are doing is wrong and a sin, but Cain is willing to drown because if this is wrong, why does it feel right?

His fingers fell to his lips, touching it as he thought about Ye Xun. Chang Min could make many arguments that he is straight, but kissing Ye Xun did feel right.

He could not lie; he enjoyed the kiss and craved more. And that is what scared Chang Min. 

 

Ye Xun is his best friend and the rock that grounded him many times. Chang Min could not have survived being in the outside world if it was not for Ye Xun always being there for him.

And, also, did this mean that Ye Xun felt something for him, or was it the created mood that had him kissing back? 

 

What if he did not want Chang Min and walked away from him? He never wants to lose Ye Xun. Without Ye Xun, how could Chang Min live his life?

Ye Xun has always been with him for twenty-one years. Can he risk their friendship over a kiss? Especially when he wanted more?

Chang Min slapped his cheeks with both his hands, letting the sound echo in his room as he grew frustrated with his thoughts. 

  mUfkZh

What should I do? He thought. 

 

“Chang Min.” A voice sounded from his door. 

  dpKDjs

Chang Min jumped, controlling a scream that tried to slip out as he turned towards the voice. Standing by his open bedroom door was the man that always took over his mind, his best friend, —Ye Xun. 

 

“Ye Xun, what are you doing here?” Chang Min asked, slowly closing his laptop not to make it obvious he was hiding his writing. 

  y7Do91

Ye Xun leaned against the doorway, his arms crossed as he stared at Chang Min, “You were ignoring me, and I wanted to know if our friendship is over or not.” 

 

Chang Min quickly shook his head, his stomach filled with dread when he thought about ending everything with Ye Xun. “No, never.” 

  SGLok4

Ye Xun let out a breath he was holding, his hidden trembling hands finally calming down. He walked over to Chang Min, stopping in front of him. “Then, why are you ignoring me? You always answer my messages, but not once have you today.” 

 

Chang Min felt a weird sense of déjà vu as he took in Ye Xun’s words. They really did fall into the roles of Cain and Alex. 

  jAsxR8

“I-I,” Chang Min stuttered, his words becoming stuck as he did not know if he should speak the truth or not. He did not want to risk them falling apart.

Ye Xun’s face scrunched into something indescribable as his hand fell upon Chang Min’s cheek. He softly caressed it, “If you want to act like the kiss never happened, we can. I don’t want to lose you. But, if you truly want me gone, I can go.”

  vOIWcb

Chang Min slightly gasped from the touch, trying to control himself from leaning into it. “What if I don’t want any of that?” Chang Min asked in a low tone as pain filled his voice. 

 

The sadness in Chang Min’s eyes made Ye Xun want to do anything to fix it. “Then, what do you want?” 

  4hcM28

Chang Min dropped his eyes, looking at the ground as many thoughts crossed his mind before stopping at what he wrote for Cain and Alex. 

 

He did not want to do any more acting with Ye Xun; he wanted more, he wanted—

  IrQ15m

“Kiss me.” 

 

Chang Min looked back up at Ye Xun once those words left his lips. Ye Xun looked thrown off, not expecting those words to ever come from Chang Min. But, his face softened into a tender look of love that made Chang Min’s breath hitch. 

  Kq8eMP

“Okay.” 

 

Ye Xun bent down, his lips touching upon Chang Min’s lips. 


Nine chapters left for this arc. x9StJ6

Also, I am sorry to say that I will take a break/hiatus until September. I am completely broke and trying to search for two jobs, I found some and did a few interviews, but I am waiting to see if I got them. So see you all again in September; I’ll probably have a stockpile ready by then to make up for my absence.
