After the camera stopped rolling, Thinh was still clinging to Tuan Duy's neck, face buried into the crook of his shoulder. They had already stepped away from the main set and into a nearby waiting room. People gradually dispersed to prepare for a celebration party, since the show unexpectedly decided not to eliminate anyone. But Thinh remained silent, with no intention of letting go.
Tuan Duy gently patted his waist and whispered softly :
"Come on, let go of me for a bit. We should go celebrate with the guys."
But instead of loosening his grip, Thinh held him even tighter. That's when Duy clearly heard repeated soft sniffles right by his ear.
Panicking by the sounds, he quickly pulled away just enough to lift the younger's face up, and realized the boy had never stopped crying.
Not a single sob escaped his lips, yet tears kept streaming down like raindrops. His little nose was rosy from all the crying, lips pushed out in a trembly pout, pitiful and adorable all at once.
"Oh no, why are you still crying? Baby stop, or people will think I bullied you," Duy rushed to wipe the tear-stained cheeks with his hands.
"You did bully me... you tried to leave me behind..." Thinh whined, his voice all stuffy from holding back sobs too long.
Duy sighed helplessly. Everyone knew he was not the one deciding eliminations, the audience was.
But none of that mattered, the priority now was calming down this crybaby.
"There, there. I'm sorry. It is all my fault for making you cry okay?"
Thinh looked up at him with big round watery eyes, lips pursed in a sulky pout.
Duy's heart clenched, both from the shorter's cuteness and his own guilty feelings. He truly felt like he had committed a crime, even though he was the one who was almost eliminated.
"I'm not going anywhere baby, I'm right here. Don't cry anymore, my heart hurts seeing you like this."
He kissed along Thinh's eyelids, hand rubbing circles on his back like soothing an actual kid.
The smaller sniffled twice, tears finally slowing down. He grabbed the hem of Duy's green leather jacket and threatened with his puppy eyes, as if it had any intimidation:
"If you get eliminated again, you'll see what happens."
The taller could not hide his smile as his signature fang tooth peeked out.
"Yes, sir. Orders received."
"What are you smiling at?"
Thinh frowned and punched his chest lightly.
"I'm just really happy you care so much."
Duy wrapped his arms tighter around the other's waist, happiness written all over his face.
Thinh's cheeks flushed as he turned away, avoiding his gaze.
"Everyone cares about you. Anh BigDaddy, anh Bray, and ..."
"I don't care about them. The most important person is right in front of me."
Duy tilted the younger's chin back to face him, pinching his blushing cheeks.
"You say things like that without being embarrassed?"
"Why should I be? I can do even more than that."
Before Thinh could even process what was happening, Duy had already leaned in, capturing his lips without warning. His breath came hot and heavy, brushing against Thinh's naturally pouty lips before his tongue slipped in, slow but demanding, exploring every corner as if claiming all of him. His fingers ran into the soft hair at the back of the shorter's neck, urging him closer, angling a deeper kiss.
Thinh froze for a second, surprised by the suddenness, but his body reacted faster than his mind. His arms instinctively grasped around Duy's neck, pulling him in, silently surrendering.
Their tongues intertwined in a messy rhythm, quiet smacks of lips and soft gasps echoed in the room. Thinh's knees weakening as little whimpers escaped his throat, completely melting into the older's hold.
The two were still tangled up in a heated kiss when the sudden noise outside snapped them back to reality.
"Oh damnnn so this is why y'all disappeared huh?"
Negav's high-pitched voice cut sharply through the silence, making both of them jolt apart.
"It's happening!! It's happening!! This OTP is fucking real !!"
Tez hollered while sprinting in, " MasonB ain't shit "
"The fuck this have to do with us??"
Mason and CongB yelled from the hallway, deeply offended.
"Oh my god seriously? You guys just get a room!"
Dillan chimed in with his broken Vietnamese
"Get a room? Aren't we already in one?" Thinh blinked innocently
"No you dumbo, he means a bedroom, not this room, right Dillan?" Negav quickly translated
"Yeah! Exactly." Dillan nodded excitedly.
One by one, the whole squad barged in:
"So we searched everywhere and y'all were in here making out?" Bray joined the chaos as well.
"You know we're making out and decided to bring the whole zoo in here?" Tuan Duy groaned, clearly annoyed they ruined his moment.
"ZOO?? Who are you calling zoo?? Mind you, I haven't mentioned the audacity of you to say you don't care about me earlier? One kid you know in a few months is better than me?? Your mentor for years??" BigDaddy began his dramatic accusation.
"I cried ugly tears for you on camera and now you tell me your boyfriend matters more? My wife at home ain't never seen me like that before!"
"I'm sorry sir, but I can't lie he does matter more," Duy apologized softly, and somehow made it worse.
"Tez, move! Let me beat his ass up!"
"Please spare my OTP!" Tez screamed, clung to Big's leg dramatically.
"Girl, aren't you switching OTPs so quickly?" Gill gave him side eye, judging hard.
"With chemistry like this, what do you expect me to do girl?" Tez giggled hysterically. "MasonB who? I only know Nuslei."
"He didn't even care about me too, anh Big. After the show ends I'll drop a diss track just for you," Bray pointed directly at Duy.
"Why is Thinh's lips so swollen? Are there mosquitoes in here?" Sơn K just arrived, cluelessly raised question.
"Yeah, one huge mosquito. Like 1m78 huge," the youngest in the group answered without blinking.
"Alright kids, break it up," Ngo Kien Huy stepped in like a divine savior. "You two get five minutes before we drag you out to drink with the rest of us. No more sucking faces in here, understood?"
"Five minutes?! What if he does something to my son? Pull them out now!" Bray wailed.
"He's literally volunteering, child. Stop acting like your son is still in a crib," Karik said, shaking his head. Then he and Ngo Kien Huy shooed the entire crowd out, "Let the lovebirds finish up. Y'all are ruining their moment."
Even as they were being dragged away, shouts echoed from the hall:
"Anh Karik ! Anh Karik !"
"Anh Huy! Anh Huy!"
Duy could only nod. Finally, the only grownups in the room, big respect.
The waiting room, loud just a moment ago, fell silent again.
The two looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.
"They're so damn loud."
"Aren't they ?"
A shy stillness settled between them. As if they are teenagers sneaking around and just being caught red-handed.
Until Duy leaned closer with a smirk.
"Want to continue?"
"Get away from me! You're always trying to be pervy, I didn't even agree yet!"
"You didn't push me away though.
Actually, you held me tighter"
"T-that's because you startled me!"
"Whatever makes you happy,"
Duy murmured, arms tightening around Thinh's small waist before pressing a quick kiss to his lips.
"H-hey! Do that again and I'm telling anh Bảo!"
"Then tell him," Duy replied and pecked him twice more.
"Aaa anh Bảo ơi!!" He yelped, as another three kisses landed instantly on his face.
"..."
"Not fighting back anymore ?"
Thinh covered his lips with both hands, shaking his head, wide doe eyes blinking up at him.
"Your pretty eyes are all puffy from crying," Duy whispered, brushing a thumb under his lower lashes.
"And whose fault is that?" Thinh mumbled.
"About almost being eliminated... of course I was disappointed. But honestly? I feel kinda grateful. It made me realize how much you care for me." Duy admitted, "Don't cry anymore, okay? I love you."
"Thirty seconds left! Wrap it up!" Ngo Kien Huy shouted from outside.
"Uhm... I'm really happy you got to stay. That was when I realized how scared I was from losing you." Thinh confessed, voice soft. "And also... I'm sleeping at your place tonight."
He stood on tiptoe, cupped the taller's cheeks, and kissed him loud and bold.
Face burning hot, he whispered, "I love you too", then quickly skipped out of the room.
Tuan Duy stood there, frozen for a few seconds. Then a slow, stupidly lovesick smile spread across his face.
He was completely gone.
