CHAPTER TWO
“Let’s go,”
That small tap on his shoulder ruins his view. He turns to his brother with a confuse look, causing the latter asking, “Why that face? Looks like an idiot. Come on, we need to get in.”
Jongwoon started to walk to the theater gate, following Wookie that already ahead. Youngwoon, realize what was just happen, turns his head back to the previous view. Looking for that delicate guy. Yet, he’s doing it while walking behind Jongwoon.
“Where’s he?” He questioned himself when he didn’t find the guy. He searched through the whole theater lobby, which is a bad decision, since it was so crowded. Fill with people that rush to enter the theater since it almost the time for the show opening.
“Who is it, hyung? You are looking somebody?”
“Wooo…, you scared me.” Youngwoon suddenly stopped, he surprised finding Wookie already stand in front of him with an innocent face. His face was sweating hard.
“Hey, what do you mean by that? How come you say this innocent face scary,” Jongwoon slap him light in the head. “And what’s with you? You seems didn’t here, who are you looking for,” Jongwoon asking while keep his hand tapping Youngwoon’s head, ignoring Wookie that signal him to stop teasing his brother.
“Nobody, hyung. And stop doing that,” he pushes his brother’s hand away from his head. “Aish, you ruin my hair style,” Youngwoon said while fixing his hair style.
Youngwoon manage to get in the theater along with his brother and Wookie. After finding their seat, just 3 rows from the stage, Jongwoon and Wookie started to chatting foe the musical, while Youngwoon try to focus on the musical pamphlet on his hand. However, during the show, while all the other audiences enjoy the musical, Youngwoon can’t distract himself from the delicate looking guy he saw earlier.
He notice what his brother and Wookie did the entire show, cuddling and romancing too much that Youngwoon want to puke, he also notice how all the girls scream every time Choi Si Won appeared on the stage, and he REALLY notice what the two couple behind him was really doing and it’s really naughty that he won’t need to picture it, but still… the image of that delicate guy he sees before was preoccupied his whole mind.
***
Jongwoon stood at the edge of the stage. He stares at the stage smiling, sometimes yelling for encouragement. He’s doing that non-stop for almost three hours. He didn’t seem tiring, yet excited and becoming increasingly interested as time flew by.
After nearly three hours, Wookie walked down the stage and headed towards Jongwoon. Jongwoon gave Wookie a towel and mineral water and both of them start looking for a place to sit.
“Is it good, Woon baby?” ask Wookie while drinking his water. He leans toward Jongwoon’s shoulder. Jongwoon cares Wookie’s hair lovingly before answering.
“That’s not just good, Wook baby, that’s great. Oh no, not just great, it’s superb,” Jongwoon gave his two thumbs in front of Wookie. Wookie smile at him cutely.
“You are too much, I’m not really that good,”
“You are. But, I didn’t like that girl that leans on you during all your singing performance. Why the hell she needs to be always by your side, baby?” Jongwoon pouted.
Wookie laugh a bit, “She acts as my object of affection, that’s why she always hanging around me. Don’t be jealous like that, I only love you,”
“But she always looking you lovingly, no one can looking you that way instead of me,” Jongwoon still pouted while his eyes catch a glimpse of the girl across the room. She was sitting with wet hair while her eyes looking toward them. “Looks, she even looks at us now, Wook baby,” Jongwoon continue complaining.
“Of course she is, during the rehearsal you always starred at her as if you want to kill her. That’s why she wants to know who is this strange guy actually is,” Wookie laughing hard.
“Hey, you need to remember this strange guy love you so much and didn’t allow anyone to take you from my side,” by saying that, Jongwoon steal a kiss from Wookie.
Wookie, helplessness, receive the kiss without any resistance. He then pull out the kiss for a breathe
“Don’t do that, Woon baby. Everyone’s watching us. It’s inappropriate. “ Wookie complained.
“Don’t say you didn’t like it,” Jongwoon tease, causing the latter to blush hard and try to hide his face on the towel.
Jongwoon can’t help but enjoyed the view in front of him. He always loves seeing Wookie’s cuteness. It’;s really is makes him love Wookie even deeper. The guy was so amazingly attractive, not to mention too cute also, that Jongwoon can’t resist.
“You didn’t come to the office, baby?” Wookie asked after overcoming his blushes.
“Youngwoon already come to the office today. Besides, I have more important matter to do here,” Jongwoon smirked at Wookie. Wookie just smile sweetly to his boyfriend.
Jongwoon looking around the stage, it’s kind of hectic today. Everyone was running around like crazy here and there with something on their hands. Other people was chatting loudly while the rest sit in the corner or in the available area to sit for a moment to take a rest, just like what he and Wookie did just now. There was probably 100 people in this not too big space, so it’s obvious that the room kind of full of heat. He looks at Wookie that started to fan himself with the paper script. Jongwoon takes the towel from Wookie’s hand and start removing Wookie’s sweat.
Today, Wookie will have a musical performance. This is not the first time that Wookie involve in a performance, but this is the first time he will be the leading role. Tonight they will have a soft opening for selected guest and tomorrow they will have a grand opening for public audience. Jongwoon was here today to support Wookie. This is the last time to rehearse before the actual musical shown.
Wookie was a drama student. He’s following drama class, but his main interest was music, that’s why he loves to take part in a musical. Jongwoon always love the way Wookie sings, so angelic that makes Jongwoon swept away. He met Wookie when his company was renovating the drama class’s building where Wookie learnt. After that, Jongwoon can be seen every day at the drama class, waiting for Wookie or supporting him like this.
“Baby, you should try singing also. You have a good voice,”
Jongwoon look at Wookie disbelief, “are you kidding me? I’m only singing in the bathroom and in the karaoke while I’m drunk,”
Wookie let go a single laugh, “you really cute when you are drunk, baby. But it’s true, you have a good voice. You should attend the class also. At least, you didn’t come here only to find me,”
“Well, I enjoy finding you, my love,” Jongwoon tease Wookie.
“Baby, I’m serious. Think about it. Maybe we could perform together later,”
Jongwoon still looks at Wookie disbelief. He always likes to sing and interest to art since he was a little. Youngwoon was more to sport and concrete matters while Jongwoon like all kind of art and any social related matters. But their parents always pursue him to be more like Youngwoon, so they can inherit the company and both of them manage it together. His father didn’t believe that Jongwoon can be succeeding in any art things.
Jongwoon still amaze at Wookie’s perception. They’ve only been together for a month, and yet, Wookie already know about something that Jongwoon tries to deny.
“I need to change, baby. My clothes all wet. I need to find my wardrobe for tonight. You want to come with me?” Wookie suddenly stood up and look at Jongwoon.
“Well, who would reject an offer about being together and looking some beautiful skin?” Jongwoon teased playfully while whispering the word on to Wookie’s ear.
Wookie blush hard and heading right away to the dressing room without waiting Jongwoon. Jongwoon followed behind happily.
He will need to think about singing again later on, right now, he has business to take care. Jongwoon smile to himself.
***
Youngwoon reluctantly open the office building door. Walked through the lobby and passed by the front office with gold large signpost stated; KIM WOON Ltd. - builds the right one for you, the company’s name and its slogan.
It has been 2 days he skipped office. He wasn’t in the mood for the office. The thought of that delicate guy keep haunting him days and night. He can’t remove such an angelic face from his mind. He wonders what happen to him actually, he never feels this way before.
He let go a sigh, he can’t skip office today. His agenda told him that he has an important meeting today that can’t be represented. So he needs to attend. That’s why he pushes himself to go to the office today.
“Good morning, Mr. Kim,” He see one of the staff bowed to him.
“Ah, Morning, Yuri-sshi, all the materials went well? Any complaints? ” He smiles at the girl. Yuri is one of his staff at the purchasing department. She’s in charge for buying material for his company.
The girl that being called Yuri nodded. “So far so good, Mr. Kim. Glad to have you, back,” she smile then asking permission to leave.
Youngwoon nodded allowing her to leave.
He’s dating Yuri once, he knows he can’t do it since it was actually forbidden to dated office mates, but he just can’t help it. Yuri is so attractive yet he can’t take his eyes off of her. Jongwoon once scolded Youngwoon regarding this thing, that’s why Youngwoon only date the girl once. He didn’t want to involve in a deep relationship after all. But seemingly, Yuri still hoping for another chance. One thing that Youngwoon regret the most. He shouldn’t date someone that will fall for him, especially if that someone will be around him almost every day.
Youngwoon arrive in front of his shared office space with Jongwoon. Their office separate by glass window, but they still need to enter the same door. He looks at Jongwoon place, he’s not yet arrived. Youngwoon doubted he will be arriving. He must be with Wookie today.
He sits on the table and start sorting out some materials, papers and proposals that pile up in the table. He didn’t have any assistant so no one sort it out the whole papers for him. He always thinks he didn’t need one since Jongwoon and him already separate work responsibilities. Youngwoon will handle all the operational matters while Jongwoon handle the administration and financial matters. Thus, with the helping of all the managers in each section, Youngwoon can still manage all the works by himself. He always has his agenda and blackberry update also, so he didn’t need to worry he will miss things.
“What is this?” Youngwoon frowned at one big brown envelope in front of him. He read what’s inside and his frown become bigger. He reaches out the phone on his desk and start dialing number.
“Yes, hyung?” There’s an answer from the other line.
“Hyunnie, come here a bit. I need to ask you something.” Youngwoon instructs the guy on the other line to head to his office.
Not so long after that, Youngwoon see one tall-yet-skinny guy enter his office without any warning.
“Yah, Hyunnie, can you at least knock?” Said Youngwoon disturbed.
The guy that Youngwoon called Hyunnie just smirk, “What happen, hyung? This is better be important since I left my game when almost finish a mission,” Hyunnie answered with ignorant voice while heading toward Youngwoon and start to check what on Youngwoon’s table.
“Aish! You are,” Youngwoon lost his word and start hitting Hyunnie’s head slightly with one envelope his holding.
He looks at the guy he called Hyunnie. His name was Choi Kyuhyun, he actually Youngwoon’s junior during college. Youngwoon knows him as one of the brightest student in his major. That’s why when his father ask Youngwoon to start manage the business, he ask Kyuhyun to join him. Starting as an apprentice that only works based on call, and then works three days a week until now become one of Youngwoon’s right hands in the operation department.
He’s really good with the business; the only thing disturbing was his gaming obsession. Kyuhyun really likes to play games. So far it does not really disturb his job, but then again, there’s always specific rule in every company that forbid employees to gaming in the office. Beside, although he really likes Kyuhyun, he didn’t want other employees thinks he favor Kyuhyun more.
The business that both Youngwoon and Jongwoon father bequeathed to them was a construction contractor company that specializes to build and renovate commercial building, such as hotel, department store or office building. With Youngwoon, now with Kyuhyun also joins, background in architecture and Jongwoon background in Business Administration, their father believe that his business was in the right hand.
“What is this?” Youngwoon asking Kyuhyun, he handed the envelope he was holding in. “I thought we have done with this Shinsegae Dept Store renovation already, why they still send us the renovation project planning again? It’s already done 3 months ago.”
Kyuhyun analyze the paper for a while and then he clear his throat, “hyung, this is the second project. They ask for an additional renovation and we accept that request.”
“What? Why? When? I didn’t know about it,”
“Yesterday, since you didn’t come in two days, Jongwoon hyung replace you and he said okay. He didn’t tell you?”
“No, he did not. Aish, Hyunnie, we have full schedule this month, how come we can prepare for another team for this one? Aish hyung, hyung… I told him already not interfere the operation matters. Aish…,” Youngwoon still complaining while Kyuhyun only stand there, amaze by his two hyungs different reaction. Yesterday, Jongwoon was smiling to him saying that everything can be schedule well, while just now, his other hyung seem dazzle.
Youngwoon grabbed his phone and start dialing a number, he tried to call in three times, but then hang up the phone.
“Aish, where is he? He didn’t answer the phone. Is Jongwoon hyung here the last two days while I’m not around?” he asks Kyuhyun.
“Only yesterday and he’s here for only half hour or so. He came after I called him since the Shinsegae wants to have quick response. I didn’t want to disturb you, since you say your condition not too good.”
“Well, at the moment, my condition actually worse than before then… My God. Let’s have a meeting, Hyunnie. You call the entire line manager to meet here in 15minutes. This is urgent,” Youngwoon instruct him right away.
Kyuhyun just nodded and leaving the room.
Youngwoon threw himself into the couch and let go a sigh. He thinks to himself, “hyung really rarely to go to the office lately. Since he’s with Wookie, he rarely spends days without being around Wookie…”
But the image of Jongwoon smiling this past one month, all the behavior that change, especially the image of Jongwoon and Wookie at the theater two days ago brings one thing to Youngwoon’s mind. His hyung really happy, he never sees him as happy as this before. Youngwoon realize he needs to give his hyung a break and let him enjoy his moment.
With the reminiscence of the theater, Youngwoon suddenly remember that delicate guy that attracts his attention, again. He complains inside his mind but can’t stop smiling while thinking about the guy. The smile, the white bright skin, the soft smooth blond hair, the…
“Hyung, we’re ready for the meeting, and it should be fast since I need to finish my business” suddenly Kyuhyun voice ruins his vision. Kyuhyun smirked to him and Youngwoon knows what he means by “business”.
Aish, this kiddo, Youngwoon curse himself. Nothing beat his entire gaming obsession.
***
Later on in Wookie’s drama class, the musical performance went on smoothly.
Everyone cheering the performance and asking for an encore. Wookie happily singing for the 12th time that night while Jongwoon stood in the guest’s row smiling, watching proudly of his boyfriend.
After all the cast of the musical gathered in the stage, Jongwoon heading to the backstage waiting for Wookie to come down. He smile when he sees his lovely boyfriend running toward to him.
“This is your flower, my beautiful love and a great actor also. Officially.” Jongwoon smile while handing Wookie a flower’s bouquet.
“Woon baby, thank you. Oh, I can’t believe I finally finish the performance. I am so so nervous. I feel like collapse in the stage. Do you hear my voice crack? I almost feel the world trembling down, baby. It was really stressed there,” Wookie pointed the stage.
Jongwoon smiled at his boyfriend. Try to comfort him.
“It’s okay, baby. You did great. They even asking for an encore, right? That’s mean they love you. I was so worried for you when they ask for more; I hope your voice is okay? You still have grand opening tomorrow, right?” Jongwoon voice sound worriedly.
“It’s okay. I love it when they want for more. I already practice my encore, though. Don’t worry, your Wookie here has a big strength, aside his small body.”
“Small but delicious one,” Jongwoon corrected cause the latter to blush.
“So cheesy, stop it already,”
Their romance was stopped when an ahjussi come toward them. Wookie bowed at him, Jongwoon followed Wookie’s action straight away.
“Mr. Heo, you managed to come here? It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Wookie greet the ahjussi politely.
“Ryewook, I need to see your first time lead role. And you can tell I’m not disappointed with that. You had done an amazing work, Ryeowook. I’m so proud of you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Heo. Thank to you also for giving me an opportunity to become lead role,”
“I’m not picking just anyone. I know you’re the right candidate. I’m hoping to see you develop even more. Please work hard, Ryeowook. You have a future,” The man that Wookie called Mr. Heo keep compliments Wookie, while Jongwoon only looks at both of them alternately. He didn’t have a clue who this ahjussi was.
“I will, Mr. Heo, I will definitely work really hard. I am interested in the musical on the next summer. It was very cheerful and I think I’m fit in.”
“I like your determine, Ryeowook. Keep it up,” Mr. Heo tapped Wookie’s shoulder lightly as a symbol of his believing.
As Mr. Heo was about to leave, Wookie suddenly remember something, “ah, Mr. Heo,” he called to stop Mr. Heo from walking away from him. Mr. Heo stopped his action and looking at Wookie deeply.
“Yes, son?”
“I want you to meet my boyfriend. Kim Jongwoon,” Wookie grabbed Jongwoon’s wrist and pull him closer to Mr. Heo. Jongwoon startled by Wookie’s sudden action but helplessly follow the direction and forcing a smile.
“Ah, the guy you told me.” Mr. Heo smile to Jongwoon. “Nice to meet you, son, Ryeowook tell me a lot about you. We can talk later on, I still have an appointment after this. But, I need to meet you. The day after tomorrow, okay?” Jongwoon can’t do anything than nodded. “You bring him to my office, okay, Ryeowook?”
“Yes, sir. Thank you.” Wookie bow and smile to him. Mr. Heo then makes away leave them both with Wookie smiling and Jongwoon looking lost.
“Okay, what was that?” Jongwoon finally able to put up his gear together and asking Wookie. He looks really lost that Wookie couldn’t help but let go a single laugh.
“I’m sorry, baby, sorry,” Wookie stopped laughing when he sees Jongwoon starred at him with piercing sight. “He’s the director at this academy. I told him that you have a good voice and I wonder if he will accept you to the class. I told him you will be a good addition since this coming summer, there will be a lot of musical performance that need fresh faces. It will be too long to wait for new school year to register, that’s why I’m asking a favor from him.”
“WHAAAT???? Wook baby, what?” Jongwoon shocked.
“Why? You didn’t like it? You have a good voice, beside I know you love singing a lot, baby. I just think this is a good opportunity for you. Are you mad at me?” Wookie suddenly feel bad after knowing his boyfriend’s reaction. He didn’t expect that Jongwoon will act this way.
“No, I’m not mad. I’m just, well, you should at least tell me about it before,” Jongwoon managed to smile at Wookie. He can’t mad at his adorable boyfriend, anyway.
“I’m sorry, baby,”
“It’s okay. Well, it’s almost late. Let’s go prepare. We didn’t want to miss the bus.”
“Alright then, I will change first.” Wookie heading to the dressing room while Jongwoon find a comfortably empty space to seat in the middle of still hectic backstage. His mind wonder revolves the thing that has just happen. He still didn’t know what he will do in life. Youngwoon seems comfortable working in their father’s business, but that same feel didn’t come close to Jongwoon. He hated working behind desk. And while thinking around, his eyes struck to the outside view from the backstage’s window.
“Oh holy no, why is it need to rain?”
***
Youngwoon still thinks about that delicate guy, after the meeting was over. Wondering where he will be able to meet him again when his phone ringing. Without even looking the caller ID, he accepts the phone call. A phone calls that soon he regretting for picking it up.
“Woon-ah. Pick us at the drama class. Hurry up will ya. It’s raining hard here. We can’t find taxi.”
Youngwoon frowned. His brother voice really irritating, especially when yelling at the phone. “Where are you, I called you and you didn’t pick up. I need you in the office, hyung.”
“I’m with Wookie. He has a performance today. His first performance as a leading man. I need to attend. And now, since rain hard, we can’t go home. You better come here and stop yelling me back. I’m your hyung, still.”
“Why you didn’t bring car, my dear foolish hyung? I need to attend a meeting in two hours. I can’t go there.” Youngwoon said in sarcastic yet soft voice.
“I didn’t know it will be rain this hard. Besides, I can’t hold my Wookie if I’m driving. You better come here fast.”
Aish, lame excuse, as always. Youngwoon cursing inside his mind. “I can’t, hyung. I have meeting. I send a driver there, you wait a moment.”
“No no no nooo….” Jongwoon rejecting the offer straight away. “I don’t want one of the office drivers to drive us, they drive like hell and my Wookie will be scared. You come here. I want you to drive.”
“Aish, hyung. You’re the one that hire them and you tell me they’re bad driver? Why you even hire them in the first place, if you didn’t want to use them later on? You’re really hard to understand. I have a meeting with clients, hyung. It can’t be delayed.”
“They beg me to be accepted, I can’t say no” Jongwoon reasoning, he then continues, “You ask Kyuhyun to attend. He knows everything already. Come on, my Wookie was cold here. He will be sick. I don’t want him to be sick, if he’s sick I can’t stand it, I will be..,”
“Okay … okay…, give me 15 mins.” Youngwoon gave up. He can’t stand his brother nagging like that. Such a kid.
He’s 5 minutes older than me. He’s the one that need to support me, not that I need that support, but logically like that.
“Thank you, Woon-ah. I love you………..”
“Ya… ya…ya..” Youngwoon turned the phone off grumpily.
He’s then heading to Kyuhyun’s office.
He found Kyuhyun that was so focus on the computer screen that he didn’t notice Youngwoon presence. Youngwoon makes a little cough to gain Kyuhyun’s attention.
“Hyunnie, I can’t attend the meeting. You please attend with Hyung Joon from the production department then. Go ask the marketing team for the materials, I checked it already before, it’s all good. The meeting is at 5 on Hotel Shilla.” Youngwoon instruct Kyuhyun when suddenly noticing what Kyuhyun was doing. He slightly raises his eyebrow before rising up his voice a bit.
“Yah, I know all your works has done, but don’t play games in office. Staffs will follow your actions. I heard they have this Starcraft competition last week after they saw you play that in the meeting room. Go behave a bit.”
Kyuhyun shifted his eye from the computer screen to face Youngwoon.
“But I need to achieve level 25 by this week, hyung. I can’t stand losing to my online friends. They reach level 24 in an hour. You know how hard is level 24? I need to finish it in 2 days, without sleeping. It’s so hard.’
“I don’t know how hard your level 24 is and I don’t give a damn about it. Just please, get these things done before 5 o’clock and don’t be late to attend the meeting. This meeting is so important for our next big project. We can’t fail here.”
“If it is so important, why didn’t you attend? Why sending me?”
“Urgent matters, kiddo. You’ll understand if you have a weird slash demanding brother like mine,” by saying that, Youngwoon handed on some notes he makes earlier about the meeting and heading out of the office. Kyuhyun just nodded reluctantly and start reads the note.
45 minutes later and Youngwoon arrive at the building of Wookie’s drama class.
The building kind of empty, he’s guessing that most of the occupants already left since the rain start to slowing down. He fixed his hair a bit before open the doorknob to the class.
There he finds a familiar face that, without warning, tap his head hard causing him to moan, “Ouch, hyung. It’s hurt,”
“Why so late? You tell me 15 mins, it’s almost an hour. It’s already empty here, you see. The staff almost turns the light off.”
“Traffic, hyung. You know how bad traffic is after rain hard. I try my best to find the closest way to come here.” Youngwoon rubbed his head, still feel the ache. There’s always useless to fix his hair if his brother keeps playing with the head. He frowned at his brother who seems didn’t care.
Youngwoon can’t help but to think that actually, inside his brother’s soul, there was an evil living there try to hurt him. If not that, what will be the reason he is so annoying? Both of them supposed to be alike, they’re twins after all. Not identical, but still twins.
Youngwoon then realize about Wookie. “Where’s Wookie by the way?” He searches the entire class, looking for him. Only 2 people left in the area plus 1 janitor that sits in the corner, he guessing that the janitor must be waiting all of the people there to come home so he can lock the place.
“He’s get in the locker room, he wants to take his books I guess. “
Youngwoon nodded and took a sit beside Jongwoon, waiting for Wookie when suddenly he saw a figure that he was familiar of get out of the 2nd room in the left. The same figure he saw at the theater. The same delicate figure he keeps thinking of this past days. Aside than the clothes, everything else remains the same. He rubbed his eyes. To makes sure he’s not dreaming. He is not. The delicate guy really it’s here. In front of him. Youngwoon observing it once more. Detailed.
The blond hair that seems so soft to touch, the milky skin that shine well and those two big bright eyes that charms well. The delicate guy smile softly while mumbling something from his thin red lips his having. He’s carrying a book that opens in right hand while the other holding mineral water. Maybe that’s why he’s mumbling, reading something from the book. The delicate guy wears a loose shirt and skinny jeans that capture his legs perfectly.
Youngwoon stunned at the beautiful view he was looking. He needs to talk to him. He needs to find out about him. He spends times thinking about this guy, he won’t let him go this time. He stands from his seat and making a way toward the delicate guy. He will get to know him tonight, Youngwoon promised to himself.
Before he even make a move to that delicate guy, he saw the guy turns his face from the book, looking towards him. He’s smiling. Youngwoon stunned by that beautiful, pure smile.

CHAPTER TWO
“Let’s go,”
That small tap on his shoulder ruins his view. He turns to his brother with a confuse look, causing the latter asking, “Why that face? Looks like an idiot. Come on, we need to get in.”
Jongwoon started to walk to the theater gate, following Wookie that already ahead. Youngwoon, realize what was just happen, turns his head back to the previous view. Looking for that delicate guy. Yet, he’s doing it while walking behind Jongwoon.
“Where’s he?” He questioned himself when he didn’t find the guy. He searched through the whole theater lobby, which is a bad decision, since it was so crowded. Fill with people that rush to enter the theater since it almost the time for the show opening.
“Who is it, hyung? You are looking somebody?”
“Wooo…, you scared me.” Youngwoon suddenly stopped, he surprised finding Wookie already stand in front of him with an innocent face. His face was sweating hard.
“Hey, what do you mean by that? How come you say this innocent face scary,” Jongwoon slap him light in the head. “And what’s with you? You seems didn’t here, who are you looking for,” Jongwoon asking while keep his hand tapping Youngwoon’s head, ignoring Wookie that signal him to stop teasing his brother.
“Nobody, hyung. And stop doing that,” he pushes his brother’s hand away from his head. “Aish, you ruin my hair style,” Youngwoon said while fixing his hair style.
Youngwoon manage to get in the theater along with his brother and Wookie. After finding their seat, just 3 rows from the stage, Jongwoon and Wookie started to chatting foe the musical, while Youngwoon try to focus on the musical pamphlet on his hand. However, during the show, while all the other audiences enjoy the musical, Youngwoon can’t distract himself from the delicate looking guy he saw earlier.
He notice what his brother and Wookie did the entire show, cuddling and romancing too much that Youngwoon want to puke, he also notice how all the girls scream every time Choi Si Won appeared on the stage, and he REALLY notice what the two couple behind him was really doing and it’s really naughty that he won’t need to picture it, but still… the image of that delicate guy he sees before was preoccupied his whole mind.
***
Jongwoon stood at the edge of the stage. He stares at the stage smiling, sometimes yelling for encouragement. He’s doing that non-stop for almost three hours. He didn’t seem tiring, yet excited and becoming increasingly interested as time flew by.
After nearly three hours, Wookie walked down the stage and headed towards Jongwoon. Jongwoon gave Wookie a towel and mineral water and both of them start looking for a place to sit.
“Is it good, Woon baby?” ask Wookie while drinking his water. He leans toward Jongwoon’s shoulder. Jongwoon cares Wookie’s hair lovingly before answering.
“That’s not just good, Wook baby, that’s great. Oh no, not just great, it’s superb,” Jongwoon gave his two thumbs in front of Wookie. Wookie smile at him cutely.
“You are too much, I’m not really that good,”
“You are. But, I didn’t like that girl that leans on you during all your singing performance. Why the hell she needs to be always by your side, baby?” Jongwoon pouted.
Wookie laugh a bit, “She acts as my object of affection, that’s why she always hanging around me. Don’t be jealous like that, I only love you,”
“But she always looking you lovingly, no one can looking you that way instead of me,” Jongwoon still pouted while his eyes catch a glimpse of the girl across the room. She was sitting with wet hair while her eyes looking toward them. “Looks, she even looks at us now, Wook baby,” Jongwoon continue complaining.
“Of course she is, during the rehearsal you always starred at her as if you want to kill her. That’s why she wants to know who is this strange guy actually is,” Wookie laughing hard.
“Hey, you need to remember this strange guy love you so much and didn’t allow anyone to take you from my side,” by saying that, Jongwoon steal a kiss from Wookie.
Wookie, helplessness, receive the kiss without any resistance. He then pull out the kiss for a breathe
“Don’t do that, Woon baby. Everyone’s watching us. It’s inappropriate. “ Wookie complained.
“Don’t say you didn’t like it,” Jongwoon tease, causing the latter to blush hard and try to hide his face on the towel.
Jongwoon can’t help but enjoyed the view in front of him. He always loves seeing Wookie’s cuteness. It’;s really is makes him love Wookie even deeper. The guy was so amazingly attractive, not to mention too cute also, that Jongwoon can’t resist.
“You didn’t come to the office, baby?” Wookie asked after overcoming his blushes.
“Youngwoon already come to the office today. Besides, I have more important matter to do here,” Jongwoon smirked at Wookie. Wookie just smile sweetly to his boyfriend.
Jongwoon looking around the stage, it’s kind of hectic today. Everyone was running around like crazy here and there with something on their hands. Other people was chatting loudly while the rest sit in the corner or in the available area to sit for a moment to take a rest, just like what he and Wookie did just now. There was probably 100 people in this not too big space, so it’s obvious that the room kind of full of heat. He looks at Wookie that started to fan himself with the paper script. Jongwoon takes the towel from Wookie’s hand and start removing Wookie’s sweat.
Today, Wookie will have a musical performance. This is not the first time that Wookie involve in a performance, but this is the first time he will be the leading role. Tonight they will have a soft opening for selected guest and tomorrow they will have a grand opening for public audience. Jongwoon was here today to support Wookie. This is the last time to rehearse before the actual musical shown.
Wookie was a drama student. He’s following drama class, but his main interest was music, that’s why he loves to take part in a musical. Jongwoon always love the way Wookie sings, so angelic that makes Jongwoon swept away. He met Wookie when his company was renovating the drama class’s building where Wookie learnt. After that, Jongwoon can be seen every day at the drama class, waiting for Wookie or supporting him like this.
“Baby, you should try singing also. You have a good voice,”
Jongwoon look at Wookie disbelief, “are you kidding me? I’m only singing in the bathroom and in the karaoke while I’m drunk,”
Wookie let go a single laugh, “you really cute when you are drunk, baby. But it’s true, you have a good voice. You should attend the class also. At least, you didn’t come here only to find me,”
“Well, I enjoy finding you, my love,” Jongwoon tease Wookie.
“Baby, I’m serious. Think about it. Maybe we could perform together later,”
Jongwoon still looks at Wookie disbelief. He always likes to sing and interest to art since he was a little. Youngwoon was more to sport and concrete matters while Jongwoon like all kind of art and any social related matters. But their parents always pursue him to be more like Youngwoon, so they can inherit the company and both of them manage it together. His father didn’t believe that Jongwoon can be succeeding in any art things.
Jongwoon still amaze at Wookie’s perception. They’ve only been together for a month, and yet, Wookie already know about something that Jongwoon tries to deny.
“I need to change, baby. My clothes all wet. I need to find my wardrobe for tonight. You want to come with me?” Wookie suddenly stood up and look at Jongwoon.
“Well, who would reject an offer about being together and looking some beautiful skin?” Jongwoon teased playfully while whispering the word on to Wookie’s ear.
Wookie blush hard and heading right away to the dressing room without waiting Jongwoon. Jongwoon followed behind happily.
He will need to think about singing again later on, right now, he has business to take care. Jongwoon smile to himself.
***
Youngwoon reluctantly open the office building door. Walked through the lobby and passed by the front office with gold large signpost stated; KIM WOON Ltd. - builds the right one for you, the company’s name and its slogan.
It has been 2 days he skipped office. He wasn’t in the mood for the office. The thought of that delicate guy keep haunting him days and night. He can’t remove such an angelic face from his mind. He wonders what happen to him actually, he never feels this way before.
He let go a sigh, he can’t skip office today. His agenda told him that he has an important meeting today that can’t be represented. So he needs to attend. That’s why he pushes himself to go to the office today.
“Good morning, Mr. Kim,” He see one of the staff bowed to him.
“Ah, Morning, Yuri-sshi, all the materials went well? Any complaints? ” He smiles at the girl. Yuri is one of his staff at the purchasing department. She’s in charge for buying material for his company.
The girl that being called Yuri nodded. “So far so good, Mr. Kim. Glad to have you, back,” she smile then asking permission to leave.
Youngwoon nodded allowing her to leave.
He’s dating Yuri once, he knows he can’t do it since it was actually forbidden to dated office mates, but he just can’t help it. Yuri is so attractive yet he can’t take his eyes off of her. Jongwoon once scolded Youngwoon regarding this thing, that’s why Youngwoon only date the girl once. He didn’t want to involve in a deep relationship after all. But seemingly, Yuri still hoping for another chance. One thing that Youngwoon regret the most. He shouldn’t date someone that will fall for him, especially if that someone will be around him almost every day.
Youngwoon arrive in front of his shared office space with Jongwoon. Their office separate by glass window, but they still need to enter the same door. He looks at Jongwoon place, he’s not yet arrived. Youngwoon doubted he will be arriving. He must be with Wookie today.
He sits on the table and start sorting out some materials, papers and proposals that pile up in the table. He didn’t have any assistant so no one sort it out the whole papers for him. He always thinks he didn’t need one since Jongwoon and him already separate work responsibilities. Youngwoon will handle all the operational matters while Jongwoon handle the administration and financial matters. Thus, with the helping of all the managers in each section, Youngwoon can still manage all the works by himself. He always has his agenda and blackberry update also, so he didn’t need to worry he will miss things.
“What is this?” Youngwoon frowned at one big brown envelope in front of him. He read what’s inside and his frown become bigger. He reaches out the phone on his desk and start dialing number.
“Yes, hyung?” There’s an answer from the other line.
“Hyunnie, come here a bit. I need to ask you something.” Youngwoon instructs the guy on the other line to head to his office.
Not so long after that, Youngwoon see one tall-yet-skinny guy enter his office without any warning.
“Yah, Hyunnie, can you at least knock?” Said Youngwoon disturbed.
The guy that Youngwoon called Hyunnie just smirk, “What happen, hyung? This is better be important since I left my game when almost finish a mission,” Hyunnie answered with ignorant voice while heading toward Youngwoon and start to check what on Youngwoon’s table.
“Aish! You are,” Youngwoon lost his word and start hitting Hyunnie’s head slightly with one envelope his holding.
He looks at the guy he called Hyunnie. His name was Choi Kyuhyun, he actually Youngwoon’s junior during college. Youngwoon knows him as one of the brightest student in his major. That’s why when his father ask Youngwoon to start manage the business, he ask Kyuhyun to join him. Starting as an apprentice that only works based on call, and then works three days a week until now become one of Youngwoon’s right hands in the operation department.
He’s really good with the business; the only thing disturbing was his gaming obsession. Kyuhyun really likes to play games. So far it does not really disturb his job, but then again, there’s always specific rule in every company that forbid employees to gaming in the office. Beside, although he really likes Kyuhyun, he didn’t want other employees thinks he favor Kyuhyun more.
The business that both Youngwoon and Jongwoon father bequeathed to them was a construction contractor company that specializes to build and renovate commercial building, such as hotel, department store or office building. With Youngwoon, now with Kyuhyun also joins, background in architecture and Jongwoon background in Business Administration, their father believe that his business was in the right hand.
“What is this?” Youngwoon asking Kyuhyun, he handed the envelope he was holding in. “I thought we have done with this Shinsegae Dept Store renovation already, why they still send us the renovation project planning again? It’s already done 3 months ago.”
Kyuhyun analyze the paper for a while and then he clear his throat, “hyung, this is the second project. They ask for an additional renovation and we accept that request.”
“What? Why? When? I didn’t know about it,”
“Yesterday, since you didn’t come in two days, Jongwoon hyung replace you and he said okay. He didn’t tell you?”
“No, he did not. Aish, Hyunnie, we have full schedule this month, how come we can prepare for another team for this one? Aish hyung, hyung… I told him already not interfere the operation matters. Aish…,” Youngwoon still complaining while Kyuhyun only stand there, amaze by his two hyungs different reaction. Yesterday, Jongwoon was smiling to him saying that everything can be schedule well, while just now, his other hyung seem dazzle.
Youngwoon grabbed his phone and start dialing a number, he tried to call in three times, but then hang up the phone.
“Aish, where is he? He didn’t answer the phone. Is Jongwoon hyung here the last two days while I’m not around?” he asks Kyuhyun.
“Only yesterday and he’s here for only half hour or so. He came after I called him since the Shinsegae wants to have quick response. I didn’t want to disturb you, since you say your condition not too good.”
“Well, at the moment, my condition actually worse than before then… My God. Let’s have a meeting, Hyunnie. You call the entire line manager to meet here in 15minutes. This is urgent,” Youngwoon instruct him right away.
Kyuhyun just nodded and leaving the room.
Youngwoon threw himself into the couch and let go a sigh. He thinks to himself, “hyung really rarely to go to the office lately. Since he’s with Wookie, he rarely spends days without being around Wookie…”
But the image of Jongwoon smiling this past one month, all the behavior that change, especially the image of Jongwoon and Wookie at the theater two days ago brings one thing to Youngwoon’s mind. His hyung really happy, he never sees him as happy as this before. Youngwoon realize he needs to give his hyung a break and let him enjoy his moment.
With the reminiscence of the theater, Youngwoon suddenly remember that delicate guy that attracts his attention, again. He complains inside his mind but can’t stop smiling while thinking about the guy. The smile, the white bright skin, the soft smooth blond hair, the…
“Hyung, we’re ready for the meeting, and it should be fast since I need to finish my business” suddenly Kyuhyun voice ruins his vision. Kyuhyun smirked to him and Youngwoon knows what he means by “business”.
Aish, this kiddo, Youngwoon curse himself. Nothing beat his entire gaming obsession.
***
Later on in Wookie’s drama class, the musical performance went on smoothly.
Everyone cheering the performance and asking for an encore. Wookie happily singing for the 12th time that night while Jongwoon stood in the guest’s row smiling, watching proudly of his boyfriend.
After all the cast of the musical gathered in the stage, Jongwoon heading to the backstage waiting for Wookie to come down. He smile when he sees his lovely boyfriend running toward to him.
“This is your flower, my beautiful love and a great actor also. Officially.” Jongwoon smile while handing Wookie a flower’s bouquet.
“Woon baby, thank you. Oh, I can’t believe I finally finish the performance. I am so so nervous. I feel like collapse in the stage. Do you hear my voice crack? I almost feel the world trembling down, baby. It was really stressed there,” Wookie pointed the stage.
Jongwoon smiled at his boyfriend. Try to comfort him.
“It’s okay, baby. You did great. They even asking for an encore, right? That’s mean they love you. I was so worried for you when they ask for more; I hope your voice is okay? You still have grand opening tomorrow, right?” Jongwoon voice sound worriedly.
“It’s okay. I love it when they want for more. I already practice my encore, though. Don’t worry, your Wookie here has a big strength, aside his small body.”
“Small but delicious one,” Jongwoon corrected cause the latter to blush.
“So cheesy, stop it already,”
Their romance was stopped when an ahjussi come toward them. Wookie bowed at him, Jongwoon followed Wookie’s action straight away.
“Mr. Heo, you managed to come here? It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Wookie greet the ahjussi politely.
“Ryewook, I need to see your first time lead role. And you can tell I’m not disappointed with that. You had done an amazing work, Ryeowook. I’m so proud of you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Heo. Thank to you also for giving me an opportunity to become lead role,”
“I’m not picking just anyone. I know you’re the right candidate. I’m hoping to see you develop even more. Please work hard, Ryeowook. You have a future,” The man that Wookie called Mr. Heo keep compliments Wookie, while Jongwoon only looks at both of them alternately. He didn’t have a clue who this ahjussi was.
“I will, Mr. Heo, I will definitely work really hard. I am interested in the musical on the next summer. It was very cheerful and I think I’m fit in.”
“I like your determine, Ryeowook. Keep it up,” Mr. Heo tapped Wookie’s shoulder lightly as a symbol of his believing.
As Mr. Heo was about to leave, Wookie suddenly remember something, “ah, Mr. Heo,” he called to stop Mr. Heo from walking away from him. Mr. Heo stopped his action and looking at Wookie deeply.
“Yes, son?”
“I want you to meet my boyfriend. Kim Jongwoon,” Wookie grabbed Jongwoon’s wrist and pull him closer to Mr. Heo. Jongwoon startled by Wookie’s sudden action but helplessly follow the direction and forcing a smile.
“Ah, the guy you told me.” Mr. Heo smile to Jongwoon. “Nice to meet you, son, Ryeowook tell me a lot about you. We can talk later on, I still have an appointment after this. But, I need to meet you. The day after tomorrow, okay?” Jongwoon can’t do anything than nodded. “You bring him to my office, okay, Ryeowook?”
“Yes, sir. Thank you.” Wookie bow and smile to him. Mr. Heo then makes away leave them both with Wookie smiling and Jongwoon looking lost.
“Okay, what was that?” Jongwoon finally able to put up his gear together and asking Wookie. He looks really lost that Wookie couldn’t help but let go a single laugh.
“I’m sorry, baby, sorry,” Wookie stopped laughing when he sees Jongwoon starred at him with piercing sight. “He’s the director at this academy. I told him that you have a good voice and I wonder if he will accept you to the class. I told him you will be a good addition since this coming summer, there will be a lot of musical performance that need fresh faces. It will be too long to wait for new school year to register, that’s why I’m asking a favor from him.”
“WHAAAT???? Wook baby, what?” Jongwoon shocked.
“Why? You didn’t like it? You have a good voice, beside I know you love singing a lot, baby. I just think this is a good opportunity for you. Are you mad at me?” Wookie suddenly feel bad after knowing his boyfriend’s reaction. He didn’t expect that Jongwoon will act this way.
“No, I’m not mad. I’m just, well, you should at least tell me about it before,” Jongwoon managed to smile at Wookie. He can’t mad at his adorable boyfriend, anyway.
“I’m sorry, baby,”
“It’s okay. Well, it’s almost late. Let’s go prepare. We didn’t want to miss the bus.”
“Alright then, I will change first.” Wookie heading to the dressing room while Jongwoon find a comfortably empty space to seat in the middle of still hectic backstage. His mind wonder revolves the thing that has just happen. He still didn’t know what he will do in life. Youngwoon seems comfortable working in their father’s business, but that same feel didn’t come close to Jongwoon. He hated working behind desk. And while thinking around, his eyes struck to the outside view from the backstage’s window.
“Oh holy no, why is it need to rain?”
***
Youngwoon still thinks about that delicate guy, after the meeting was over. Wondering where he will be able to meet him again when his phone ringing. Without even looking the caller ID, he accepts the phone call. A phone calls that soon he regretting for picking it up.
“Woon-ah. Pick us at the drama class. Hurry up will ya. It’s raining hard here. We can’t find taxi.”
Youngwoon frowned. His brother voice really irritating, especially when yelling at the phone. “Where are you, I called you and you didn’t pick up. I need you in the office, hyung.”
“I’m with Wookie. He has a performance today. His first performance as a leading man. I need to attend. And now, since rain hard, we can’t go home. You better come here and stop yelling me back. I’m your hyung, still.”
“Why you didn’t bring car, my dear foolish hyung? I need to attend a meeting in two hours. I can’t go there.” Youngwoon said in sarcastic yet soft voice.
“I didn’t know it will be rain this hard. Besides, I can’t hold my Wookie if I’m driving. You better come here fast.”
Aish, lame excuse, as always. Youngwoon cursing inside his mind. “I can’t, hyung. I have meeting. I send a driver there, you wait a moment.”
“No no no nooo….” Jongwoon rejecting the offer straight away. “I don’t want one of the office drivers to drive us, they drive like hell and my Wookie will be scared. You come here. I want you to drive.”
“Aish, hyung. You’re the one that hire them and you tell me they’re bad driver? Why you even hire them in the first place, if you didn’t want to use them later on? You’re really hard to understand. I have a meeting with clients, hyung. It can’t be delayed.”
“They beg me to be accepted, I can’t say no” Jongwoon reasoning, he then continues, “You ask Kyuhyun to attend. He knows everything already. Come on, my Wookie was cold here. He will be sick. I don’t want him to be sick, if he’s sick I can’t stand it, I will be..,”
“Okay … okay…, give me 15 mins.” Youngwoon gave up. He can’t stand his brother nagging like that. Such a kid.
He’s 5 minutes older than me. He’s the one that need to support me, not that I need that support, but logically like that.
“Thank you, Woon-ah. I love you………..”
“Ya… ya…ya..” Youngwoon turned the phone off grumpily.
He’s then heading to Kyuhyun’s office.
He found Kyuhyun that was so focus on the computer screen that he didn’t notice Youngwoon presence. Youngwoon makes a little cough to gain Kyuhyun’s attention.
“Hyunnie, I can’t attend the meeting. You please attend with Hyung Joon from the production department then. Go ask the marketing team for the materials, I checked it already before, it’s all good. The meeting is at 5 on Hotel Shilla.” Youngwoon instruct Kyuhyun when suddenly noticing what Kyuhyun was doing. He slightly raises his eyebrow before rising up his voice a bit.
“Yah, I know all your works has done, but don’t play games in office. Staffs will follow your actions. I heard they have this Starcraft competition last week after they saw you play that in the meeting room. Go behave a bit.”
Kyuhyun shifted his eye from the computer screen to face Youngwoon.
“But I need to achieve level 25 by this week, hyung. I can’t stand losing to my online friends. They reach level 24 in an hour. You know how hard is level 24? I need to finish it in 2 days, without sleeping. It’s so hard.’
“I don’t know how hard your level 24 is and I don’t give a damn about it. Just please, get these things done before 5 o’clock and don’t be late to attend the meeting. This meeting is so important for our next big project. We can’t fail here.”
“If it is so important, why didn’t you attend? Why sending me?”
“Urgent matters, kiddo. You’ll understand if you have a weird slash demanding brother like mine,” by saying that, Youngwoon handed on some notes he makes earlier about the meeting and heading out of the office. Kyuhyun just nodded reluctantly and start reads the note.
45 minutes later and Youngwoon arrive at the building of Wookie’s drama class.
The building kind of empty, he’s guessing that most of the occupants already left since the rain start to slowing down. He fixed his hair a bit before open the doorknob to the class.
There he finds a familiar face that, without warning, tap his head hard causing him to moan, “Ouch, hyung. It’s hurt,”
“Why so late? You tell me 15 mins, it’s almost an hour. It’s already empty here, you see. The staff almost turns the light off.”
“Traffic, hyung. You know how bad traffic is after rain hard. I try my best to find the closest way to come here.” Youngwoon rubbed his head, still feel the ache. There’s always useless to fix his hair if his brother keeps playing with the head. He frowned at his brother who seems didn’t care.
Youngwoon can’t help but to think that actually, inside his brother’s soul, there was an evil living there try to hurt him. If not that, what will be the reason he is so annoying? Both of them supposed to be alike, they’re twins after all. Not identical, but still twins.
Youngwoon then realize about Wookie. “Where’s Wookie by the way?” He searches the entire class, looking for him. Only 2 people left in the area plus 1 janitor that sits in the corner, he guessing that the janitor must be waiting all of the people there to come home so he can lock the place.
“He’s get in the locker room, he wants to take his books I guess. “
Youngwoon nodded and took a sit beside Jongwoon, waiting for Wookie when suddenly he saw a figure that he was familiar of get out of the 2nd room in the left. The same figure he saw at the theater. The same delicate figure he keeps thinking of this past days. Aside than the clothes, everything else remains the same. He rubbed his eyes. To makes sure he’s not dreaming. He is not. The delicate guy really it’s here. In front of him. Youngwoon observing it once more. Detailed.
The blond hair that seems so soft to touch, the milky skin that shine well and those two big bright eyes that charms well. The delicate guy smile softly while mumbling something from his thin red lips his having. He’s carrying a book that opens in right hand while the other holding mineral water. Maybe that’s why he’s mumbling, reading something from the book. The delicate guy wears a loose shirt and skinny jeans that capture his legs perfectly.
Youngwoon stunned at the beautiful view he was looking. He needs to talk to him. He needs to find out about him. He spends times thinking about this guy, he won’t let him go this time. He stands from his seat and making a way toward the delicate guy. He will get to know him tonight, Youngwoon promised to himself.
Before he even make a move to that delicate guy, he saw the guy turns his face from the book, looking towards him. He’s smiling. Youngwoon stunned by that beautiful, pure smile.
