Pairing: Kyuhyun x Kibum
Summary: Kyuhyun thinks he likes girls, he even found himself a girlfriend a few weeks after he enters High School but when his girlfriend's older brother starts to steal his best friend away from him, he found himself not liking it one bit. A story about how Kyuhyun and Kibum got together. Set before
If I sat next to you would you run away? Kibum leaned back into the sofa and leafed through a clear file folder with disinterest. He thought that he was better off at home in front of his pc or in bed reading a book rather than here.
It was their first weekend of their first year of high school and some of the boys had suggested an outing to get to know each other better. Kibum would have declined the invitation if it hadn’t been for Kyuhyun, his neighbor and best friend from elementary to junior high and now the same high school.
Kyuhyun had pleaded with him to tag along till he finally relented. He was not able to stand his constant whining and now here they are, in a large karaoke room with twenty over people in it.
“Aren’t you excited?” Kyuhyun had exclaimed to him earlier, bouncing alongside him, hardly able to contain his excitement as they walked to the meeting spot.
“Joy.” Kibum answered with much enthusiasm.
The taller of the two slung an arm on his shoulder. “You’re like an old man Kibum ah. We’re going out with girls! Girls, man!”
He chuckled. “And you’re like a hormone raged teenager.”
“That, I am.” His friend declared proudly. “We have been stuck in a boy’s school forever!”
“We went to school with girls in elementary.” Kibum pointed out.
“That doesn’t count.” Kyuhyun countered, pulling at his left ear. “Now stop dawdling and move.”

The girls erupted in giggles drawing Kibum’s eyes away from the list of songs in his hands. They settled on Kyuhyun and a bunch of other boys dancing and belting out Rokkuggor from Suju T at the top of their lungs. He noticed how some of the girls were eyeing Kyuhyun and whispering behind their hands which was not a surprise because admittedly, his best friend are one of the few good looking guys in class. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose raising his eyebrows in amusement as the girls burst out in another fit of giggles when his friend winked at them.
The silly song came to an end and a familiar music video came onto the huge LCD screen. Some of the boys scrambled for the microphones, except for Kyuhyun who seemed to have his glued to the palm of his hand.
Well, at least someone was really enjoying his time. A smile tugged the corner of his lips as he watched Kyuhyun yelling for them to hurry up because the song is starting. His friend grinned as he caught his eyes and attempted to rap which in his opinion, was better off singing.
Kibum chuckled at his dismal attempt.
“Aren’t you going to sing Kibum shii?”
A very attractive girl with doe eyes and silky long locks by the name of Eun Ji smiled and occupied the empty space beside him
He shook his head and leaned closer to make himself heard over the ruckus his classmates were making “I don’t sing very well.”
“Then let’s dance.” She quipped, pulling him up to his feet and leading him to the front before he could protest.
It wasn’t because he couldn’t dance that he was shuffling awkwardly on the crowded space they had created for dancing, it was because he was just trying to put some decent distance from the girl shimmying to the beat and was pretty much aware of Kyuhyun’s laughing eyes trained on him. He shot his friend a bemused look when Eun Ji spun around and brushed her pert bottom against his thigh, Kyuhyun found it entertaining though. He could see those eyes roving all over the girl from across the room before mouthing the word NICE at him.
Kyuhyun noted Kibum’s narrowed gaze, a habit which his friend was unconscious of when he’s annoyed. A challenging smirk spread across his face. Come on, step it up man!
He knew Kibum will never back down from this and sure enough, Kibum’s arm snaked around Eun ji’s waist and pulled her to him, sneering darkly at him over her shoulder as a her fingers curled into his hair.
Kyuhyun’s smirk spread into a wide grin and he tossed the microphone onto a boy’s lap, cringing a little as the boy proceeded to sing off key. Kibum cocked an eyebrow as he slithered up smoothly to them, bearing down on Eun ji peering up at him from under her lashes with a coquettish smile primped on her luscious lips, seemingly happy that she was now wedged between him and Kibum.
His eyes flicked to Kibum’s dark eyes, glinting cheekily as the boy pulled him by the pocket of his jeans and curved his hand onto his hips. He grinned happily at Kibum and was possibly leering down at the girl who now has her arms draped around his neck.
Maybe he’s going to get a girlfriend sooner than he thought.

Kyuhunn kept fiddling with his cellphone during the bus ride home. They had traded number with Eun ji just before all of them parted ways and he thinks that he might be crushing on her. But she seems to be showing an interest on Kibum. He turned to his friend listening to his I-pod with his eyes closed beside him. He had been rather quiet through most of the karaoke session and seemed a bit tense, but that might just be his imagination because Kibum has always been quiet.
He knew for a fact that Kibum is quite the looker especially when he smiles and those dark intelligent eyes behind those glasses could be fathomless or expressive depending on his mood. Hell! Kibum is gorgeous if he puts in more effort in his appearance. What if Eun Ji likes the strong and silent type or simply laid back? Because that is definitely Kibum. Kyuhyun nudged Kibum’s elbow and pulled an earphone from his ear.
“We’re here Kibum.” He pushed himself off the seat urging Kibum to hurry and leapt off the bus.
He slung an arm on Kibum and walked in silence, silently contemplating if he should ask away his questions.
“Today was fun wasn’t it?” He started casually.
“Yeah.” Kibum replied quietly and breathed in the cool night air as he moved in matching strides with him.
“Well, what did you think of the girls?”
“They’re okay, fun, cute.” Kibum trailed of but didn’t venture further.
He knew how ambiguous Kibum can get but he was just warming up for the next few questions. “Is there anyone that catches your eyes?”
Kibum’s hand slipped away from his waist and regarded him coolly. “I can’t believe you’re asking me all these questions. Can’t we just get straight to Eun Ji?”
Kyuhyun colored faintly and recovered straight away with a goofy grin. “Ah, you caught me. How did you know?”
Kibum snorted. “I’m not blind Kyu. I’m not interested if that’s what you’re asking. I prefer Jin Kyoung actually.”
“Really? Jin Kyoung is the one with the sleek bob right? Nice…”
Kyuhun eyed his friend. Kibum’s way too cool. He sure doesn’t show much reaction for someone who named one of the sexiest girls in class to catch his interest. Now why couldn’t he like that for once.
“Nite.” Kibum greeted and pressed the doorbell when they finally reached his house.
“Nite.” Kyuhyun strolled towards his home four houses away. Even though Kibum had clearly said that he’s not interested in Eun Ji… He spun around and called out to Kibum who was still waiting for the gate to be unlocked. “ Kibum ah!You sure you’re not interested in Eun Ji?”
“Ya! You wanna die!” Kibum called out smiling widely.
Kyuhyun barked out a laugh. That was all he needed to know. He waved his friend goodbye and turned towards home feeling very at peace knowing that he won’t have to fight for Eun Ji’s affection with his best friend.
Kibum’s smile slid away and he gritted his teeth to lessen the pain blooming in his chest as he watched Kyuhyun’s retreating back.
