Chapter Text
"Joshua Hong!" Mr. Song calls out, and Joshua's ears perk up. She had been chatting with her best friends, Jeonghan and Seungcheol, when her name was called out. She makes her way to the front of the crowd of students to find her teacher.
"Mr. Song, you called for me?"
"Ah yes, Joshua, the teachers seem to have made a miscalculation with the room bookings," Her teacher sighs apologetically. The senior-most students at Pledis University were in Tokyo for their last school trip, and Joshua was looking forward to enjoying the trip with her two best friends, but the tone of her teacher's voice was worrying her.
"We are falling one room short, so you don't have a room anymore," Mr. Song says. "You could room with one of the female teachers. I'm so sorry that this happened-"
"Mr. Song, there's no need for her to room with any teacher," A soft voice interrupts, and Joshua looks to her right to see Jeonghan there, her blond hair falling down her shoulders in perfect waves. She turns to wink at Joshua and then looks back at their teacher. "What does she have us for?"
Another person joins them, and Joshua feels a hand pressing into the small of her back. Seungcheol, she thinks, and she's proven right when the third person speaks up. "Shua can just room with us, we don't mind," Seungcheol says, her voice a little deeper than Jeonghan's airy and soft voice. Joshua feels herself blush at how close the two girls are to her, but she wills herself to look normal.
"Ah, I have no clue why Joshua is friends with you two trouble-makers," Mr. Song sighs.
"Ay, don't say that sir," Jeonghan pouts. "Joshuji loves us, don't you?" Joshua can only manage a stilted nod of her head at Jeonghan's question.
Seeing no reason to deny the girls' request, Mr. Song allows Joshua to be Seungcheol and Jeonghan's roommate. "Just make sure they don't cause any trouble," He tells Joshua, before leaving them to find the other teachers.
"Ooh, Shua's gonna be monitoring us," Seungcheol teases, and Jeonghan links her arm in Joshua's, leaning her head on her shoulder. "You're gonna report us for being bad girls?"
Joshua chokes on air at Seungcheol's words, cursing her brain for always being in the gutter. Yes, her friends were extremely hot, but they were her friends, she should never expect anything else to come out of their friendship. Plus, they were naturally flirtatious with everyone, and Joshua had learnt to never read into their flirty comments the hard way.
She had met Seungcheol on the first day of uni, three years ago, when she had accidentally entered the wrong lecture. Seungcheol had taken the seat next to her and shot her a wink. "You're pretty, what's your name?" The athlete had asked Joshua, and the latter had turned into a stuttering, awkward mess for the rest of the lecture.
As for Jeonghan, Joshua met her a week later, at the canteen on campus. Seungcheol and Joshua had already formed a budding friendship, accompanied with the occasional flirting, and would now hang out in the canteen to gossip about which professor is gay. One day, Jeonghan abruptly joined them when they were talking about a classmate's disastrous haircut, and she had said "what a shame, his hair was lovely to hold on to when he went down on me." She had then looked at Joshua and said, "Aren't you a doll? What's your name, beautiful?"
Although Joshua knew the three were nothing more than friends, her stupid heart would skip a beat every time Jeonghan or Seungcheol would flirt with her, albeit jokingly. She had only realized how unserious it was for them when she saw them flirting with another one of their classmates, Junhui, in the same way they did with her. The revelation stung, but her feelings never disappeared.
So here she was, still in love with her two best friends.
God, this trip is gonna take a hell lot of patience, Joshua thinks to herself, preparing herself for the next week of torture.
.
.
.
.
The first four days go by rather smoothly. In their shared room, Joshua would sleep on the extra bed provided by the hotel, and Jeonghan and Seungcheol would share the king-sized bed. The bed itself was big enough for all three of them, but Joshua does not want to test her limits by sleeping in the middle of the two women she liked. Joshua got used to this routine, coming back to the hotel after an entire day of sight-seeing, and then passing out on her singular bed. It wasn't as comfortable as the main bed, but it was a price she was willing to pay for her sanity.
Then, everything went to shit.
On the fifth day, Joshua comes back to the room alone. Jeonghan and Seungcheol had opted out from that day's tour because they claimed to be feeling sick. Joshua had felt a little awkward because of being alone, but she had her other friend, Seokmin, to give her company.
The second she walked into the room, she notices something is off. The lights are off, except for the bedside lamps, and her extra bed is also missing. Usually the hotel staff have it set up in the room before they come back to the hotel in the evening.
She also notices that her roommates are missing. As if on cue, Joshua hears giggles coming from the bathroom, and she recognizes them to be Jeonghan's. She'd be able to recognize her voice even in her dreams. Followed by the giggles are soft moans, and Joshua feels the tips of her ears growing red. Another voice speaks up from within the bathroom, and its rich, warm tone implies that its Seungcheol.
What on earth are both of them doing inside the bathroom together?
Joshua's question does not remain unanswered for long, as Jeonghan's high-pitched whine cuts through the silence of the room.
"Fuck... Cheol. Right there."
"You taste so good, Hannie. Think you can come on my tongue?"
Joshua's brain supplies her with an unnecessary image of Jeonghan, propped up on the counter, one leg falling over Seungcheol's shoulder, and the other spread out to give Seungcheol access to her pussy. She imagines Jeonghan's head tipped back in pleasure, and her lithe fingers tugging on Seungcheol's black hair, styled in a wolf-cut. She imagines Seungcheol's thick, pouty lips, pressed against Jeonghan's hole, tongue licking at her arousal.
And then comes the feeling of shame. The two girls she'd been crushing on for so long had been interested only in each other all this while. How could Joshua be so oblivious? How could she not see that they liked each other in a way more than just friends?
Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, and Joshua picks up the keycard kept on the desk. She leaves the room just as the sound of Jeonghan moaning when she reaches her orgasm reverberates in the room.
.
.
.
.
She sits with Seokmin and her roommate, Mingyu, for dinner, conversing about the things they did that day. She was thankful for the break from Seungcheol and Jeonghan, because even thinking about them hurt her. Seokmin was in the middle of telling them a story of how this random Japanese man came up to her to ask her out, when Joshua feels a tap on her shoulder.
She turns around, and she sees a freshly showered Jeonghan and Seungcheol. Did they shower together too? She thinks bitterly.
"Hi Shuji," Jeonghan greets, and Joshua tries not to grimace at the nickname. "When did you come back? We didn't see you in the room."
Maybe you were too busy riding Seungcheol's tongue is what Joshua wants to say, but thankfully Mingyu butts in.
"Joshua was hanging out with us in our room," Mingyu grins. "I'm jealous of you two, you always get to hang out with her." Mingyu pouts, latching onto Joshua's arm. Joshua doesn't miss the way Seungcheol's eyes narrow at Mingyu for a split second.
"Well, you have to keep being jealous, because we're gonna steal our friend back now," Jeonghan laughs, playing along with Mingyu, but Joshua could detect a slight tone of annoyance. Why would Jeonghan be annoyed?
Plus, she's just a friend .
"I think I'll stay here for some more time," Joshua speaks up, not meeting her friends' gaze. "I'll meet you later in the room."
Jeonghan opens her mouth to protest, but Seungcheol gives her a glance and she stops herself. "Okay, see you later," Seungcheol nods, taking Jeonghan's hand and walking away.
"Woah, what was that?" Seokmin asks, eyes wide with surprise. "Did you guys fight?"
"Don't be silly, Seok," Mingyu cuts in. "The sexual tension is so obvious. You like both of them, don't you?" Mingyu asks, smirking at Joshua, who sputters out an answer.
"I- No! That's not- I mean, uh, yeah," Joshua sighs. "I do. How did you know?"
"Well, for starters, you looked like you wanted to throw yourself out the nearest window when they approached the table, and it wasn't out of disgust, but your humongous crush on them. So, what's up?"
"I've liked them both for three years, and its becoming very pathetic now," Joshua lets out a self-deprecating chuckle. "Especially when they're clearly interested in each other and only see me as a friend."
Mingyu and Seokmin lean in closer, eager for more details, so Joshua narrates the events of the evening, not going too into detail about exactly how airy Jeonghan's moans sounded, or the deep hum Seungcheol let out against her pussy.
"Shit," Seokmin gasps, and Mingyu pats her shoulder. "Joshua, you're going to call me crazy, but I'm a 100% sure they like you too," Before Joshua can retaliate, Mingyu shuts her down. "Look, they're both insanely protective over you. I mean, Seungcheol looked like she wanted to rip my arm out for clinging to you. Even Jeonghan was glaring at us. I can assure you, they like you as much as you like them."
"But what if they're dating? What am I supposed to do?" Joshua frowns.
"You don't have to do anything," Mingyu grins smugly. "Wait till you get back to your room tonight."
Joshua is left puzzled, unable to understand the underlying implications of Mingyu's words.
.
.
.
.
After finishing dinner and saying goodnight to Mingyu and Seokmin, Joshua goes up to her room, finding it empty once again. This time, the bathroom was empty too, meaning her friends were still downstairs. She takes the opportunity to hop into the shower. She looks around the pristine bathroom, not finding any evidences of the activities she had overheard earlier, and she's glad for it. Willing the thoughts of Jeonghan and Seungcheol to go away, Joshua steps into the shower, letting the warm water soothe her tensed muscles.
A good thirty minutes later, Joshua finishes up her skincare routine before wrapping herself in a bathrobe and leaving the bathroom.
The second she walks out, she's greeted with Seungcheol sitting on the bed, as if waiting for her. She looks to her side for Jeonghan, but that's when a pair of arms wrap around her waist from the back, pulling her against their chest.
The faint scent of lavender perfume confirms that its Jeonghan standing behind her.
The belated realization strikes: She's trapped between her friends, and they have a difficult conversation ahead of them.
"Hey Shua," Seungcheol speaks softly. "What's got you so tense?"
"Yeah, relax a little," Jeonghan speaks from behind her, her warm breath ghosting over Joshua's neck. "You look like we're here to kill you."
Joshua would rather be killed than be in this room, but she can't find the words to say anything at the moment.
"I'm fine," Joshua clears her throat. "What about you guys? Why didn't you come for the tour today? I know you weren't really sick."
"I was just feeling tired," Jeonghan sighs, her fingers splayed across Joshua's stomach. "And Seungcheol stayed back to give me company."
"And why didn't you ask me?" Joshua frowns. She tries to turn around to look at Jeonghan, but the latter's grip on her waist is tight.
"We didn't want you to miss out on sight-seeing, honey," Seungcheol clicks her tongue, getting up from the bed to come stand in front of Joshua. "Are you upset because of that?" She asks, tilting her head innocently, as if she didn't already know how Joshua felt.
"Why would I be upset?" Joshua scoffs. "I'm not some child. I can accept that you two wanted to spend time alone. In fact, you should have just said that at the start of the trip. I could've stayed in a different room."
"Which other room would you be in?" Jeonghan asks, sounding smug, so Joshua decides to provoke her further. "I'd stay with Seokmin and Mingyu. They'd love to have me there."
At the mention of those two names, Seungcheol clenches her jaw, and Jeonghan grip grows tighter with possessiveness.
"Isn't that too mean, Shuji?" Jeonghan replies, and Joshua can imagine her lips drawn into a pout. Her breath hitches in her throat when she feels Jeonghan's fingers travel upward, coming to rest right under the swell of her breasts. It is then that Joshua becomes conscious of the fact that she's naked under the robe.
"We offered to let you stay with us because the teachers messed up, and this is what you have to say?" Seungcheol pouts too, her eyes sparkling like crystals, and Joshua hates herself for getting weak in the knees at the puppy eyes. "Did we do something wrong?"
"No," Joshua replies, voice shaky because of how tense she is, with Jeonghan's hands practically on her tits, and Seungcheol's piercing gaze on her. "I'm just saying, it would've been less embarrassing for me if you told me to go to another room, rather than walking into-"
She cuts herself off by inhaling sharply when Jeonghan's fingers dip under the fabric of the robe, grazing against her chest.
"Walking into what, honey?" Jeonghan whispers in her ear, prompting her to continue.
"Uh- Wa-Walking into whatever you were doing," Joshua blurts out. "In the bathroom."
Seungcheol and Jeonghan lock eyes and crack sly grins at the same time.
"You heard us?" Seungcheol questions, while Jeonghan's right hand is slowly inching towards her left breast, giving the mound of flesh a gentle squeeze. She feels Jeonghan smirk against her neck when Joshua lets out a gasp.
"Han- what are you doing?" Joshua hisses, and Jeonghan shushes her.
"Calm down, darling," Seungcheol coos. "We know you want this."
"Don't try to deny it, babe," Jeonghan says, before Joshua could even deny Seungcheol's claims. "We know the way you look at us. After all, its the same way we look at you."
With that, Jeonghan's fingers pinch Joshua's nipple, eliciting a sharp whine from her. Jeonghan giggles at the reaction, while Seungcheol reaches forward to brush a strand of hair away from Joshua's face.
"We want you too, Shua. Are you going to refuse us?" Seungcheol asks, her hand trailing down to cup Joshua's cheek in her palm.
Fuck it, we'll deal with the emotional turmoil later, Joshua's brain supplies. She'd be a fool to refuse Jeonghan and Seungcheol now, so she finds herself being even more foolish, and nodding to agree with her friends.
After drawing out a verbal response from her, Seungcheol unties the robe, letting the white material slip off Joshua's shoulders to reveal her bare body.
Seungcheol's mouth falls open as she shamelessly gapes at Joshua. She then slowly moves forward to snake her arms around Joshua's waist, warm fingers meeting even warmer skin. "Fuck, Shua. You're so pretty...." Seungcheol mumbles, licking her perfect, pouty lips, and Joshua really wants to kiss her.
So she does.
She lurches forward and presses her lips square onto Seungcheol's, hands perching atop her shoulders to bring her in closer. Seungcheol's kisses are rough, sloppy and everything Joshua could've dreamed of. Joshua feels the wet press of Seungcheol's tongue against her lips, and she gladly parts them, letting Seungcheol's tongue lick into her mouth. Joshua decides that her favorite thing to do is kiss Seungcheol, when suddenly, the arms holding her from the back pull her, making her whine as she breaks away from the kiss.
"Shuji, you know I need attention too, don't you?" Jeonghan croons softly. "Where's my kiss, baby?"
Joshua barely has time to register Jeonghan's words, when she's being spun around, and this time, Jeonghan's cherry-glossed lips envelop hers. Jeonghan's kisses are syrupy and indulgent, and Joshua's little love-sick brain tells her that Jeonghan's lips are the sweetest thing to exist on this earth.
Joshua hums when she feels Seungcheol press up against her back, her hands coming up to knead Joshua's tits and rub against her nipples. While one hand stays on her chest, the other inches down towards her heat, fingertips barely grazing over the place where she needs it the most.
"Fuck, Han, Cheol, need to see you, please," Joshua pants, pulling away from Jeonghan's lips. Without any signs of hesitance, she watches Seungcheol and Jeonghan strip down in front of her, and what makes it even better is the matching set of lingerie they're both wearing, and how different it looks on both their bodies.
Seungcheol is wearing a red lacy bra, the cups just barely holding up her breasts, and the matching red lace panties sitting low on her hips. Her firm, thick thighs, and round, perky ass are only accentuated by the snug fit of the panties, and Joshua finds herself wanting to suffocate herself between Seungcheol's legs, or chest. (Hopefully even both.)
Jeonghan is clad in the same set, but in a deep purple color. Her tits, although on the smaller side, are covered by the intricate flowery designs of the bra, and Joshua swears she can see a glint of metal behind the fabric. The panties are high-waisted and encircle Jeonghan's delicate waist, making her figure look even more petite and lithe.
If she were a cartoon dog, Joshua just knows she'd be standing in a puddle of her own drool.
"I think we broke her," Jeonghan pouts, looking sad, but the mischievous glint in her eyes speak a different story.
"The matching sets were your idea," Seungcheol teases. "But I think Shua likes it a lot, don't you baby?"
"Yes," Joshua croaks eloquently. "You guys look..... gorgeous. I think my brain has turned off because of how turned on I am." Seungcheol and Jeonghan giggle at Joshua, who is practically spiralling into madness with every second passing by.
"We could help with that," Seungcheol suggests, just barely holding back a wide grin. "I've heard I give pretty good head."
Joshua-with-a-brain would have groaned at the terrible pun, but horny-brain-Joshua can only imagine how good Seungcheol's lips pressed against her cunt would feel.
"I'd like that," She breathes out. "Please."
Without missing a beat, Jeonghan and Seungcheol spur into action. Seungcheol comes up to kiss Joshua again, while Jeonghan guides the three of them to the king-sized bed. Jeonghan props herself up against the pillows, and Joshua breaks away from the kiss to admire the way her slender legs spread open invitingly, gesturing for Joshua to come closer.
Joshua crawls onto the bed, kneeling in the space between Jeonghan's legs, letting her hungry eyes roam over her perfect, smooth skin.
"Can I touch you?" Joshua asks, her voice a strangled thing, and Jeonghan bites her lip and smiles.
She nods.
Joshua goes insane.
Her hands shoot out to feel Jeonghan's soft skin under her hands. She also feels the shudder travelling through the blonde's body when she leaves a trail of goosebumps behind on her bare thighs. Her hands then go up to her waist, touching and feeling the blemish-free skin. And then, its time for the main attraction. She hooks a finger under Jeonghan's bra strap, silently asking her if she could proceed. When she gets the permission, she takes her time in unhooking the clasps of the bra, gently slipping the lace off Jeonghan's chest.
"Oh," Joshua blinks. There's two little metal studs staring back at her. "You have- You have nipple piercings?"
"It was a dare back in high school," Jeonghan explains simply, as if Joshua isn't seconds away from spontaneously combusting because of how horny she is.
"Don't be shy, baby," Seungcheol chuckles from the back, her warm hands settling on Joshua's waist from the back, guiding her onto her knees. "She likes it when you play with her nipples, 'cuz they're extra sensitive."
And while Joshua would love to dwell on the fact that her best friends have probably had sexual encounters previously as well, there's a stunning woman waiting for her touch.
She dives in without thinking, her lips latching onto the metal piercing Jeonghan's left nipple and sucking softly. She then grazes her teeth against the nipple, and then bites on the metal rod, tugging it ever so slightly.
The whine that leaves Jeonghan is the most beautiful thing she's ever heard, so Joshua forgets that she needs to breathe air like a normal human, and she buries her face in Jeonghan's chest, leaving kisses and bites, only to hear that sound again.
While she's caught up in her own world, Seungcheol parts her legs slightly and kneels behind Joshua, bringing her mouth close to her dripping cunt. "You're so pretty here too, Shua," Seungcheol coos before pressing her lips up against Joshua's heat.
The effect of Seungcheol's mouth has an instantaneous effect on Joshua. She lets out a sharp whine, accidentally biting down on Jeonghan's nipple, which causes Jeonghan to moan even louder.
"Fuck, Shuji, feels so good," Jeonghan whines. "Don't stop."
Joshua's horny brain can only comply. She keeps mouthing at Jeonghan's breasts, twisting, licking, biting at her nipples till they turn red and puffy. Seungcheol busies herself with sucking on Joshua's swollen clit, drawing out the sweetest moans out of her.
"Cheol! I-I'm close! Fuck!" Joshua sobs, burying her face in the crook of Jeonghan's neck, harshly sucking bruises onto the soft skin there too. Seungcheol doesn't relent, instead she adds her fingers to the mix, rubbing at Joshua's clit while fucking her hole with her tongue. Jeonghan's hands finally move, coming up to grab at Joshua's tits and flick her nipples.
"Come for us, baby," Jeonghan whispers, and Joshua feels her body go entirely rigid as she comes with a loud scream. Her upper body slumps forward, her hips held up by Seungcheol who is still lapping away at her pussy, licking up her orgasm. Once she's satisfied, she gently lays Joshua down on her back, placing a pillow under her head to make her comfortable.
"You look so gorgeous when you orgasm, darling," Jeonghan drawls, a sharp smirk painted on her soft features. "Can't believe we waited this long to have you like this. I blame it all on Cheol, she's always too anxious to-"
"Hannie, shut up," Seungcheol interrupts, pinching Jeonghan's side. Both the girls kneel on either side of Joshua, gazing down at her with..... well, Joshua can't really make out the emotion in their eyes. She also blames Seungcheol, because the orgasm had rendered her brain useless.
"Want to make you both come, please," Joshua begs, surprised at how pathetic her pleading sounds. Jeonghan and Seungcheol exchange glances, communicating with just a stare, and Seungcheol clears her throat before speaking.
"How about I sit on your face and Jeonghan watches? She's into things like that, and you can finish her off once I'm done," The athlete offers shyly, as if they all aren't naked and have already touched each other.
"I'd love it," Joshua nods, all too quickly. She's more worried about whether her tongue will satisfy Seungcheol; the mortification coming from her eagerness can be dealt with later.
Without skipping a beat, Jeonghan and Seungcheol quickly undress themselves, and Joshua's eyes go dry from not blinking. She can only stare at how smooth the rest of Jeonghan's body is, her pussy completely bare of any pubic hair, and her skin soft and pale. Seungcheol, although not clean-shaven, has neatly trimmed pubic hair, and a few light bruises on her knees and thighs that Joshua can only hope came out of her basketball practices and not from anyone else.
Jeonghan settles on an armchair placed next to the bed, bring her legs up to place herself comfortably, and Seungcheol crawls up the bed, kneeling next to Joshua's head, eyes filled with reluctance.
"You don't even have to ask me," Joshua says, sensing the hesitancy in Seungcheol. "I really want this; I really want you. Both of you. You have my consent for everything, and if I don't like something that you do, I'll tell you, I promise. Just don't hold back, I want everything you can give me."
Seungcheol lets out a sigh of relief, and Jeonghan smiles at Joshua tenderly. "Thank you for telling us, Shuji. We were scared you agreed to all this because you didn't want to say no," Jeonghan admits.
"And before you argue, we know how much of a people pleaser you are," Seungcheol adds before Joshua can protest. "Thank you for letting us know that you want this too."
"Then what are you waiting for? Get over here and sit on my face," Joshua blurts out with new-found confidence.
"You heard the lady," Jeonghan eggs on, and Seungcheol blushes.
Next thing Joshua knows, the view of the white ceiling of their hotel room is replaced by the much nicer view of Seungcheol's dripping cunt. Joshua grabs at Seungcheol's firm thighs, pulling her down completely on her outstretched tongue, keen on actually suffocating herself between Seungcheol's thighs.
What a nice way to go, Joshua thinks as she gets the first taste of Seungcheol's arousal. She runs her tongue between her glistening folds, lapping away at her cunt. Above her, Seungcheol moans, high and pretty, while grabbing the headboard of the bed to maintain her balance.
Joshua then dips the tip of her tongue into Seungcheol's hole, teasing her.
"Shua, don't- ah, don't tease me-" Seungcheol pants, trying to grind her hips down on Joshua's face.
Smiling smugly to herself, Joshua lifts Seungcheol's hips an inch away from her face, and mumbles softly into the kisses she places on her inner thighs:
"Okay, ride my tongue then."
Seungcheol doesn't waste a second; the second the words leave Joshua's mouth, she brings her hips down again, blindly trying to lower herself down on Joshua's awaiting tongue. With a little help from Joshua, her tongue is soon buried deep into Seungcheol's hole, engulfed by her velvety warmth. Seungcheol's moans only get louder and whiny as she rolls her hips in circles, trying to reach her orgasm.
Bringing up a hand from where it was kneading at Seungcheol's thigh, Joshua uses her thumb to rub the athlete's clit in tight, rapid movements in order to make her come. The added stimulation has Seungcheol rolling her eyes back into her head and pressing her cunt down on Joshua's face entirely. Her body tenses up and her thighs quiver with the intensity of the orgasm that washes over her.
Joshua thinks that this is her favorite place to be: under Seungcheol, suffocated by her sopping pussy and thick thighs, her release coating her face.
"Fuck, you might be even better at giving head than Cheol is," Comes Jeonghan's soft voice. "I've got to have you next time, baby." And if Joshua wasn't so pussy-drunk right now, she'd be busy contemplating the chances of there being a next time.
All she can do right now is lazily lick up the last remnants of Seungcheol's orgasm, pressing soft kisses to her pussy lips, almost as if she were making out with them.
Seungcheol lets out a low whine, pulling herself away from Joshua's mouth. "Too much, 'm sensitive." She then manages to get off Joshua's face, moving on shaky knees and collapsing next to Joshua on the bed. Joshua can finally see the ceiling of their room again, but soon enough, Jeonghan's face swims into her vision.
"My turn now," She smiles. "You didn't forget, did you?"
"Of course not," Joshua shakes her head, sitting up on the bed to kneel in front of Jeonghan, mirroring her position. "What- What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to fuck me with your fingers," Jeonghan replies simply, as if she had waited her entire life to answer this question. "I've wanted them in me ever since we did that one pottery class together. Used to touch myself while imagining how your fingers would feel instead."
Joshua's brain short-circuits for what must be the millionth time that night. Unable to find any words, she just leans forward to kiss Jeonghan. It's messy and wet, and she's certain she heard Jeonghan moan into her mouth at the taste of Seungcheol's essence, but it's a perfect kiss. Not wanting to waste more time and to give Jeonghan her release, Joshua brings up her index and middle fingers to rub at her pussy, coating them in Jeonghan's wetness.
Jeonghan lets out a soft mewl at the touch, pulling away from the kiss to rest her forehead on Joshua's shoulder as her body trembles from Joshua's touch.
As Joshua slips both fingers into her warm, wet hole, Jeonghan lets out a cry, biting down on Joshua's shoulder. "'M not gonna last long, fuck, your fingers feel even better than what I imagined- shit-"
From the corner of her eye, Joshua senses movement. When she turns her head to the side, she sees Seungcheol touching herself, her bottom lip tucked between her teeth and her fingers rubbing her clit in fast, hard strokes.
Joshua feels like she's officially lost her mind. Determined to give Jeonghan what she hopes is her best orgasm, she fucks her fingers into her cunt quicker, curling her fingers against her g-spot and drawing sobs out of the blonde girl.
"So c-close!" Jeonghan screams. "Don't stop don't stop don't stop- Fuck!" With a loud yell, Jeonghan clenches down on Joshua's fingers as she comes hard. Her body falls onto Joshua's, making both of them tumble backwards into the bed. Seungcheol follows soon after, coming with a soft groan.
The room is silent for a while as Jeonghan and Seungcheol come down from their orgasm. Joshua pulls her fingers out and wipes them unceremoniously on her thigh. She then gently lays Jeonghan down on the bed, next to Seungcheol, who looks like she's about to doze off soon.
"I'll be back with wet towels," She whispers softly, leaving the bed to rush to the bathroom. When she stares at her debauched reflection in the mirror, the reality of the situation sinks in: she just slept with her two best friends. Who she's also hopelessly in love with.
"Fuck," She mumbles to herself as she's cleaning herself up with a wet towel. Before she can spiral into an endless cycle of overthinking, she remembers that she has to take care of her friends. She wets another towel in warm water and takes a couple dry ones back into the bedroom, when she's met with the sight of Jeonghan curled up in Seungcheol's embrace, both of them almost asleep.
Her heart aches with longing; longing for two people who she can't have because they already have each other. Why would they even need her?
She clears her throat to announce her presence in the room, and Seungcheol looks up at her with a tired smile. "You're too nice, Shua."
"It's the least I can do," Joshua shrugs. She quickly helps Seungcheol and Jeonghan clean up as gently as she can, after which she fetches some fresh clothes for all three of them.
Once they're all dressed and have inspected the bed to check if there were any... bodily fluids staining it, they settled on it together, Joshua sandwiched between her two friends.
She feels Jeonghan's finger tracing shapes on the bare skin of her waist where her shirt has ridden up, and she feels Seungcheol's warm breath against the crook of her neck.
Now should be the best time to ask about their relationship, right?
"Um... Guys? I wanted to talk about today," Joshua starts, voice soft. As soon as the words leave her mouth, she cringes, and hopes they didn't hear her.
"What's up?" Jeonghan asks immediately, her hand resting on Joshua's stomach under her shirt, drawing circles into the skin.
You can do this, just ask the question, end your suffering. Joshua takes a deep breath. "What are we now?"
Silence.
Joshua wants the ground to split open and swallow her up. Both Seungcheol and Jeonghan freeze, and the tension was so thick, it could be cut with a knife.
"F-Forget about it, haha," Joshua blurts out, chuckling nervously. Maybe she can trick them into thinking that they just hallucinated the question-
"We're still friends, right?" Seungcheol speaks, interrupting Joshua's inner monologue. "Does anything have to change?"
It's Joshua's turn to freeze. Friends? They just gave Joshua the best sex she's ever had, and all she is to them is... a friend?
"What Cheollie means is that this was probably just a one-time thing," Jeonghan adds, hoping to make up for Seungcheol's poor choice of words. "Friends do this all the time, right? Just fooling around and having fun?"
Her blood is starting to boil. Joshua can't believe it. Sure, she didn't expect her two friends who have no romantic feelings for her to just confess their undying love, but playing this off as a thing 'friends do' feels too cruel.
"So what you and Cheol have going on is just friendly ?" Joshua scoffs. "You two only slept together once? Or are you some kind of special friends who get to have sex multiple times?"
They're silent again. Joshua feels like she's slowly growing insane.
"Don't just stay silent like that! Say something, for fuck's sake!"
"Shua, we- It's not like that. We're not like that-" Seungcheol says, but Joshua cuts her off.
"I'm not an idiot, Seungcheol. I've seen the way you two look at each other," Joshua interrupts. What she doesn't say is that she looks at them the same way as well.
"Joshuji, there's been a misunderstanding," Jeonghan tries. "You don't know-"
"How am I supposed to know!" Joshua cuts her off, enraged. "How am I supposed to know when I see you both sneaking off campus together right before our shared lecture? How am I supposed to know when you come late to every study session, holding hands and giggling at some joke you won't bother to tell me? How am I supposed to know when I come back from day of sightseeing only to hear my two best friends going at it when they were supposedly sick? Am I just some plaything to you both? A good choice for a threesome to spice up your sex life?"
"Joshua, please, let us explain," Seungcheol pleads, her voice thick with tears, but Joshua tunes her out. She also ignores the way Jeonghan's eyes are welling up. If she lets her attention shift to them, she'll become weak again. She can't let herself keep getting hurt.
"I don't need any explanations," Joshua says, voice cold with finality. "I don't want to be a part of your games anymore."
With that, she's pushing herself off the bed, grabbing her phone from the bedside table, trying not to give into the temptation of Jeonghan's requests for her to stay.
"Don't do this, Shuji, let's just talk about this-"
"I don't have anything to say and there's nothing I want to hear," Joshua shakes her head. "Don't even try to talk to me. I'll stay with Seokmin and Mingyu for the rest of the trip, and I'll come take my things later."
Not leaving any room for negotiation, Joshua storms out of the room. A tiny part of her hopes that they'd come after her, fight for her to stay, but the door remains shut.
Why would they even come after her? They have each other, and that's all they've ever needed.
Wiping away the tears that had escaped her eyes, Joshua walks down the hallway, towards Seokmin and Mingyu's room. She knocks on their door, hoping that they're still up. When the door opens, and a worried Seokmin hugs her upon observing her broken state, Joshua lets herself cry. She can't stop crying, not even for two minutes to string together coherent sentences to explain what happened. Thankfully, the kind girls don't probe further. They let her sleep between them, never once complaining about the loud sobs that slowly soften to silent tears.
She cries herself to sleep.
And the last thought that flashes her mind is how soft Jeonghan's lips had felt on hers, how warm Seungcheol's embrace was, and how her heart still wanted the two people who had hurt her the most.
