Ding Dong
“Oh no! What do I do? The hallways have all cleared.” Jaejoong running as he mumbled under his breath. He kept glancing at his wrist. He frowned when he realized he was already late for the class.
“I’m- I’m so sorry.” He apologized as he reached his class. He was panting, tired after running from the administration room.
Mr. Kwan who was the tutor for his first class smiled as he turned. He pushed his spectacle up a bit from his nose bridge. “What happened, Jaejoong?”
“I just came from the teacher’s office.” Pant. Pant.
Instead of Jaejoong, his classmate defended him, “Saetang-nyim, it looks like Jaejoong ran all the way just to make it.”
“Yeah,” Others cheered for him.
I’m Kim Jaejoong, a class representative. When I became a second year student, I was unanimously voted as a class representative but all I seem to do is go from errand to errand. It was not something that I didn’t expect to get; I just don’t believe it makes his life miserable.
“As it stands Kim Jaejoong, you’re not the very last student.” Mr. Kwan sighed before his eyes averted to a seat near Jaejoong’s place.
Jaejoong’s eyes looked blur, trying to figure out what was his tutor talking about. That was until his eyes also landed on the empty seat which was supposed to be filled.
“Oh, he’s not here yet,” Jaejoong uttered softly as he nodded his head unconsciously.
Mr. Kwan sighed, “Yes, he is not here. Hurry and go fetch up the sleeping prince.”
Jaejoong smiled sheepishly. On the run again. Nevertheless he obeyed Mr. Kwan’s order and started to walk out of the class.
“That guy,” Mr. Kwan shook his head, disappointed. “He’s hopeless.” He watched Jaejoong as his student disappeared completely behind the door.
Even so, I’ll try my hardest to succeed because this is something I enjoy.
Reaching the last stairs, Jaejoong put his palms on both his knees. Aah… he is so not fit. Jaejoong panted again. He walked slowly towards the door before turned the door knob.
“Ah there… Yunho?”
Jaejoong was startled for like a second.
The real reason I wanted to the class representative is this soundly sleeping classmate.
Jaejoong strolled his feet closer to the sleeping figure before crouched besides him. He tilted his head slightly to the right before a smile formed on his porcelain-like face.
At first, this was just something I did but the times I come to wake him up have became my favourites. His sleeping is very lovely… and his slightly parted lips are so… alluring.
Jaejoong stared at Yunho intensely.
But when I see him this way…
What would it be like to kiss those lips? He won’t even know.
… Is what I wonder.
Jaejoong shook his head furiously as that thought appeared in his mind. “But I just can’t do it. Aish!” Jaejoong smacked his head mentally as a sigh escaped from his pair of pouty red lips.
So, I merely admire him secretly.
Remember his first intention coming to the rooftop, Jaejoong reached out his arms and patted Yunho’s cheeks softly. “Yunho”
Yunho cracked his eyes opened a little due to the soft touch on his cheeks. Seeing Jaejoong, he chuckled, “Oh.” He smiled charmingly, “Good morning.”
Thump. Thump.
My heart… it is beating so fast again.
“Morning.” A pink shade colour crept on his face.
However, I suppose it’s enough…
Just to have him gently smile at me.
“Hi sleepy head!”
Nothing makes me happier than seeing his smile.
Taking his open opportunity, Jaejoong poked Yunho’s cheeks. “Class has already started. Yunho, you can’t have me waking you up every day, okay?”
Yunho’s expression changed. He rubbed his nape uneasily, “S-sorry, Jaejoong. When I’m asleep I don’t hear the bell chime at all.”
Today, however, his expression seemed a little sad.
“I’ll treat you to some juice this time.” Jaejoong smiled cheerfully.
“Sure, why not?”
This time I’m really putting myself into it and it seems to be working! I’m so happy.
“All right! So, shall we get back to class?”
Jaejoong stood up from his kneel position. He looked a bit hyper than usual. He walked towards the door before turned his body, looking at Yunho confusedly.
“Yunho? Are you falling asleep again?”
“Nah!” Yunho put his hand on his pocket before dragged his legs towards Jaejoong and smiled, “I can’t sleep anymore.”
+++.....+++
Everything worked well today. It was lunch time already. As usual Jaejoong was with his friends, sharing their lunch.
“Do you want to have some of these?” Donghae showed Jaejoong his container of food. He was the one who brought varieties of lunch to school.
Jaejoong shook his head, “No, it’s okay. I have mine already.” Jaejoong said politely. He looked around, checking for a certain person.
“Who are you looking for?” Yesung’s voice knocked Jaejoong’s eardrum, making the latter to turn his head.
“No one.” Jaejoong denied before putting more kimbap into his mouth. “Wah! It’s so delicious!” Jaejoong immediately changed the topic.
Yunho always eat the school cafeteria food. Jaejoong sighed. I’ll have to make him something myself!
+++.....+++
Yunho looked at the sky. He folded his arms and put them under his head. A sigh can be heard from him.
“He looks so adorable when he smiles.” Yunho mumbled under his breath. “I wonder how he will feel if I tell him.”
Step. Step. Step.
Click!
“Ah Yunho! You are here.” Jaejoong’s cheerful face appeared just as soon as the door was opened from inside. “I’ve finally finished my lunch.”
Yunho looked a bit startle and he pushed himself up to a sitting position.
“Can I stay here?”
“Sure, fine by me. But… uhh… Did you really need to come here just to prevent me from falling asleep?” Yunho raised his eyebrows, felt kind of hurt in some way, “Seriously I’m not planning to fall asleep this time!”
“Huh?!” Jaejoong was a little shocked by a harsh tone Yunho just used until he realized it was his mistake at the first place. He never went to meet or talk to Yunho except when he wakes him up, “No! That’s not why I came! Sleep if you want to!”
Seeing Yunho still looking at him with this weird expression, Jaejoong gulped, “Well, you see… I promised you earlier that I’d treat you to some juice!”
I actually managed to say it.
“So , here…” Jaejoong gave Yunho a can before took a seat besides the latter, “I don’t know what drink you like, so I just bought randomly.”
“Oh, uh… th-thanks.” Yunho scratched his head embarrassedly. He had mistaken Jaejoong’s intention.
I just…
Jaejoong took a glance at Yunho who was so focussed in drinking the juice, didn’t realize the stare he got from the guy besides him.
… Want to spend a little more time with Yunho.
“By the way, Yunho… why are you always so sleepy?” Jaejoong tilted his head. His face already filled with questions. “Is it because you study so much? Your grades are always good.”
“Well, that’s partly of it. I also work the evening shift at a seven eleven shop five nights a week.”
“What? Five nights a week?” Jaejoong widened his eyes. That’s a lot.
“Well, it’s just me and my mom, so… I’m working part time to pay for my own living expenses.”
Yunho…
“I-I see, you’re working really hard. Is your health okay?”
Oops! That was a really insensitive question.
“I’m fine. I sleep up here on the roof a lot. But that must be troublesome for you. Sorry about that.” Yunho sighed tiredly.
Jaejoong jolted as he heard those words from Yunho.
“Oh, it’s never any trouble at all! I-I…” Jaejoong lost his words. Blushing, he hung his head down. “From now on, I’ll come up here to wake you. Just relax and sleep as much as you like.”
Yunho stared at Jaejoong for a minute, looking quite astonished by Jaejoong’s words. A chuckle escaped from him. “Thanks.” A smile accompanied his word.
“Well, if there’s anything else I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to ask!” Jaejoong stated quickly. When he realized what he just said, he was blushing even more. “I-I mean…” He was now playing with his fingers, “I-if you want.”
“Really?”
Jaejoong lifted his head, “Sure.”
“Well then… How about you let me to take a nap?” Yunho scooted closer to Jaejoong.
“Uh? Yunho?!”
Tug.
Eh?
Push.
What is he…?
“The concrete is so hard, it hurts my head to lie on it.”
He’s using my lap as a pillow..?
Yunho closed his eyes at immediate, “It feels nice as what I thought.”
“What the-?” Jaejoong put his right palm over his mouth when he caught a soft snore coming from Yunho. Oh yeah, I’ve to let him rest. But… Jaejoong looked at his hand. There’s no place to put my hands.
Well… Having the person I like put his head on my lap does make me happy, but this is totally awkward. Having Yunho’s head on my lap isn’t a big deal, right? It was so painful! Watching him like this, just making me want to kiss him.
Jaejoong moved his hands, wanting to touch Yunho’s skin.
But if I just touch him gently, he won’t notice right?
Thump. Thump.
It was only a millimetre away from Yunho’s cheek when a hand caught Jaejoong’s hand.
“Catch!”
Oh no!
“I-I was just…”
I thought he was fast asleep?!
Yunho looked at Jaejoong with indescribably expression. There was lust in it, there was desire. And it was somehow given out a dangerous aura.
“You were just thinking of kissing me?”
Huh?
“You’re always staring right here.” Yunho brought Jaejoong’s hand to his mouth and kissed it.
“Always”? Really?
“So, anyway…”
Jaejoong stood up abruptly, making Yunho’s head to hit the tile hard.
“Ouch! Hey Jaejoong!”
I’m so embarrassed, I could die!
“You’ve got me all wrong!” Yunho yelled.
Now what do I do? He probably thinks I’m weird!
“Kim Jaejoong!”
Jaejoong turned his head with tears on his face. “You’re so mean! You just pretend to fall asleep! I’m not going to wake you up ever again!”
Yunho was numbed. Jaejoong sheds his tears?
Slam!
“That…” Yunho put his head down, “I don’t mean it that way.”
+++.....+++
So, now…
“Ah, welcome back Jaejoong. Where were you?” Donghae put his book down on the table before facing Jaejoong. Instead he was faced with gloomy Jaejoong, “What happened?”
Jaejoong lifted his head. His puffy red eyes clearly showed Donghae that he was crying just now.
And then…
“Say Donghae, I need a favour…”
“Oh? What is it? What can I do for you?” Donghae replied just as quickly as Jaejoong stopped.
“Could you please…?”
…the distance between Yunho and I widened. Yunho and I stopped talking, not even a simple greeting.
“Jaejoong…”
It was after Maths class when Donghae approached Jaejoong and brought him to the back of the class.
“Yes?”
“D-did you have fight with Yunho?”
“Huh?” Jaejoong startled and tried to cover his nervousness with his fake smile, “N-no, N-not really exactly…”
Donghae pouted. “Then why do I have to be the one who wakes Yunho now? You looked so happy when you used to do it.”
“I-I do?”
“Yes.” Donghae replied bluntly. He didn’t aware the expression on Jaejoong’s which started to change to gloomy. “What is actually happened to both of you?”
Sigh.
“Actually…” Jaejoong looked up, staring at Donghae’s eyes helplessly, “There is a reason…”
+++.....+++
It’s been over a week. People around me felt more like classmates than friends. The more this continues, the more it feels like I’m slowly being buried in a ditch.
Jaejoong sighed.
Even if I tell Yunho how I feel, there would still be problems.
“Love between two guys could never work.” Jaejoong murmured softly. In fact, he hates the fact that love between same sexes is not accepted in this society. It just makes things more difficult that it already is.
When he just arrived at his class, his eyes widened in surprised by the first image formed on his retina.
Yunho? In blonde?
“How many times do I have to say that blonde hair is unacceptable? Change it back today.”
“It’s not my fault! When I went to the saloon, I fell asleep and it turned out like this.” Yunho gave his reason, didn’t bother to turn his head to see the teacher.
Mr. Kwan tried to suppress his anger towards this one student of his. “I have some black dye.” Mr. Kwan stated before he caught Jaejoong standing beside him, “And since you are the class representative, would you help him with it? You can use the shower room during the lunch break.”
“Huh?” Jaejoong surprised. “Uh- B-but…” He turned his head, only to meet with Yunho’s dark eyes.
Just the t-two of u-us, alone in the sh-shower room…?
+++.....+++
It was hard for Jaejoong to concentrate on his task. He was so nervous. After a week, he didn’t talk nor meet Yunho, he felt more awkward than usual. The guy who was sitting in front of him was a guy whom he had crushed with. How can he be calm?
“Y-you can wash your hair now,” said Jaejoong, stuttered as he proceeded to the sink and washed his hands while Yunho went into one of the showers.
“Hey Jaejoong!”
“Y-yeah?”
“I’m sorry about earlier. I said something I shouldn’t have,” came Yunho’s voice from the shower. “I was sure you returned the feeling I have for you, that’s why I teased you about wanting a kiss.”
Jaejoong gasped. Feelings?
“I guess I went too far and things ended up like this. I regret that.”
He’s saying…
Jaejoong clutched his shirt and his body started to tremble. He didn’t believe this. Is this even a reality? It couldn’t be! Yunho… he wouldn’t say something like that.
“I’m really sorry.”
B-but I..!
“Will you let me say one more thing to set things right?” Yunho turned off the shower and dried his upper body with the towel that he brought. “When I heard your footsteps, I only pretended to be asleep…” Yunho unlocked the door and walked out of it, “Because I enjoyed your-“
I can’t take it anymore.
Yunho’s eyes widened as soon as Jaejoong’s lips crushed on him. Jaejoong is kissing him? When he feels Jaejoong’s hand on his nape, he was sure, this was not a dream. It was real!
Jaejoong broke the kiss and panted. “I finally did it.”
Yunho touched his lips. Jaejoong’s taste still lingered there. “That was certainly bold.”
Jaejoong blushed. “B-because the person I like said something like that… I-I… was so happy, that I couldn’t resist. I’m really sorry!” Jaejoong bowed many times. “Don’t be mad at me...”
Yunho chuckled. Jaejoong always amused him in his own way. He shortened the gap between them before he put his hand behind Jaejoong’s head and brought it closer towards him.
“My turn now.”
Their lips met again. This time more prepared and sealed with love.
+++.....+++
I went back to wake Yunho up every day.
“Yunho…” Jaejoong appeared with his cheerful face like usual.
The only change was the location.
“You’re late today.” Yunho muttered as Jaejoong wrapped his hands around Yunho’s neck and sat on Yunho’s lap while Yunho winded his hands around Jaejoong’s waist, tightly.
“I’m sorry; I’m helping Mr. Kwan with his works.” Jaejoong smiled before he placed a peak at Yunho’s lips. “Do you have enough sleep today?”
“Of course!” Yunho ruffled Jaejoong’s hair and laughed when he saw Jaejoong’s pouted. He pinched Jaejoong’s cheeks.
“I love you.”
Jaejoong beamed. “I love you too.”
“I love you three.” Yunho teased and gave his boy friend a wink.
Jaejoong pouted. “No! No! I love you four, five, six…” Jaejoong started to count and this small action of him just made Yunho even happier.
He caught Jaejoong’s hand and brought him to his chest, “I love you forever. You love me forever. We’ll always be together.” Yunho said sincerely. He didn’t have this feeling towards someone before but Jaejoong… he was just different.
Jaejoong nodded his head, agreed with Yunho. “Yunho and Jaejoong are forever.” Jaejoong smiled cheekily as he hugged Yunho tightly.
Yunho chuckled. “Yes, forever.” He whispered and gave Jaejoong’s side face a light kiss.
This became our lover’s hideaway…
