“So why are we walking again with your arm around my shoulder?” Ryeowook looked at Kyuhyun with irritation all over his face. It’s really embarrassing because everyone’s looking at them and the taller man just looked all proud and smug, like he’s walking with the prettiest girl in the campus.
“Nothing…because I like to…why isn’t it normal for guy friends to walk around like this?” Kyuhyun smirked, gripping Ryeowook’s shoulder tighter.
“This close? You’re 3 mm away from invading my personal space you know?” Ryeowook tried to push Kyuhyun away.
“You’re so cute!” Kyuhyun tried to pull Ryeowook closer while the latter struggled.
“Yah! Cho Kyuhyun! Stop it! Why are you doing this? Seriously?” Ryeowook struggled more.
“Is this you’re bag?” Kyuhyun touched the strap of the other’s backpack on his shoulder.
“Yes of course it’s my bag!” Ryeowook tried to straighten his now crumpled sleeves.
“See?” Kyuhyun put his arm around the smaller boy’s shoulder again and pulled him close. Ryewook look at him clueless and baffled as Kyuhyun dragged him upstairs to their next class.
------------------
“You do realize that you’re holding my hand?” Ryeowook asked Kyuhyun during lunch time. He found it weird that Kyuhyun was sitting beside him today and not across him as he normally would.
“Under the table?” Kyuhyun asked him back while trying to eat with his other hand.
“Yes…Cho Kyuhyun, under the table. You’re holding my hand under the table.” Ryeowook said in a matter-of-factly tone.
“Like this?” Kyuhyun pulled up their entwined hands up for all the world to see. Ryeowook quickly hid their hands again under the table.
“What are you doing? I give up! You really are a freak!” Ryeowook let out a heavy sigh, trying to use anger to distract the accelerated breathing of his heart. Come to think of it, he never really thought of pulling away. He just sat there and let Kyuhyun’s fingers fiddle with his palm.
He never really thought of pulling away just because it felt nice. Totally no feelings involved and he’s totally not spazzing inside.
“Why are we doing this? Ryeowook tried to break the awkward silence.
“Is that your milk?” Kyuhyun pointed at the carton of milk Ryeowook was holding with his right hand.
“Uhmmm…yes? See I’m holding it and I’m drinking it?” Ryeowook can’t really get anything Kyuhyun has been saying all day.
“You’re holding it. Be grateful holding your hand’s just the thing I’m doing right now. I should be doing more you know.” Kyuhyun eyed his lips in a way that made him flinch.
“Damn it! I don’t get you just one bit!” Ryeowook was feeling his frustration escalating to greater heights.
“It’s okay. I don’t mind.” Kyuhyun just laughed and Ryeowook scrunched his face in further disbelief.
---------------------
“Kyuhyun…it’s already 3 bus stops away from school and you’re still here sitting beside me.” Ryeowook looked boringly outside. It was really raining pretty hard and he can see the swaying violently with the wind. It’s just 5:45 pm but the sky is already pitch black.
“I told you I’m walking you home.” Kyuhyun loosened his tie as he relaxed on his seat.
“C’mon Kyuhyun, you gotta be kidding me...and what are your plans for your car you left in the school’s parking lot?”
“I’ll go back for it later.”
Ryeowook felt silent as he thought about this. He’s really confused. Sure, he admired Kyuhyun for 2 years now but he liked him from afar. Princely, poised, charming and talented Kyuhyun was apparently better to be admired from a distance. As he got to know him more, his perfect image in Ryeowook heart and mind started to fall into unsightly pieces. He’s definitely arrogant, boisterous, proud and an all around bully. He teased him on a daily basis and sometimes Ryeowook was really insulted and irritated.
Despite all of these though, he had to admit he still look at him with tiny hearts in his eyes. He just can’t help it. It’s just like one of those love stories where the girl falls for a guy he liked from afar thinking he’s everything she wanted and when she got too close, she sees the glaring cracks of his personality. But then when she realized this, it was all too late for her. She has fallen deeply in love.
“Deeply in love?” Ryeowook was alarmed by that realization. No he didn’t think so. Why would he fall in love with Kyuhyun? Sheesh…he’s handsome but his personality is really horrible. He just can’t imagine being with him every day and stay sane. He was carefully guarding his heart these past few days. What if Kyuhyun was just being so perceptive and he figured out Ryeowook really liked him since before and he was just giving him his time of the day? He figured he couldn’t afford that kind of major heartache.
“Do you feel cold?”
Ryewook was brought back to reality when he felt long arms encircling his waist and another person’s breathing dangerously close to his ear. He then realized Kyuhyun was hugging him from the side.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Is this your coat” Kyuhyun pointed at Ryeowook’s uniform with his lips.
“Yes…it’s my coat.”
“That’s my reason for hugging you.”
Ryeowook pried Kyuhyun’s arms away with a serious look on his face.
“Stop playing around Kyuhyun. I’m not your play thing. You might be able to do anything you want to everything that you have but please…just stop it.”
“What are you saying? Playing around?” Kyuhyun said with tone of huge disbelief.
“Yes…I’m saying stop playing around with me and stop being cryptic!” Ryeowook looked at Kyuhyun with an anger laced expression that pierced Kyuhyun’s heart.
“I’m not playing around with you…” Kyuhyun was saying it in his mind but somehow, the words didn’t reach his mouth fast enough.
“Now…you’re the one telling me this? C’mon Ryewook…tell me who’s being more cryptic here? Who’s the one voluntarily bringing lunch for me every day? Who’s the one texting me at 7 pm every single day asking me if I already ate my dinner? And who’s the one who wrote his name on my forehead which means he’s claiming me? Huh?” Kyuhyun was suddenly outraged and it was fortunate that the seats in front of them and behind them were empty.
Ryeowook felt like his head was tipped on the side spilling all it’s contents on the floor. He was just in a loss for words to say.
“Am I…am I not be just being a good friend?” Ryeowook spoke silently when he regained his senses.
“Oh…alright so maybe I was just being naïve then. I’m sorry, I thought we’re on the same page here, well apparently we’re not even on the same book.” Kyuhyun stood up and went all the way down the bus amidst the heavy downpour outside
Ryeowook was left with a little stabbing pain on his heart. He regretted he even opened his mouth. But he was really confused, he might like Kyuhyun but he didn’t foresee the possibility that the other might actually like him back. Situations like this remained unrehearsed in his mind and now Cho Kyuhyun just walked out on him.
He leaned his head on the window and he watched the hard rains hit the glass harshly and then he imagined Kyuhyun walking under that rain without an umbrella. He stood up by instinct and not thinking about anything else.
------------
Ryeowook ran on the streets, earning curses from other pedestrians he splashed water on because of his heavy footsteps. He held his umbrella over his head, hoping he would see something faintly navy blue in a distance.
“Stupid…stupid Cho Kyuhyun!” He cursed in his mind as some of the wind blown rain made his face wet.
------------
“Good friend my ass….” Kyuhyun huffed as he walked with heavy footsteps in the street, all drenched in water and dripping all over. His hair was an unruly mess in his head and he was beginning to feel the cold in his bones.
He was mad, confused and mourning over his trampled pride. He might not have done a very conventional confession but he believed it was quite close.
Ryeowook didn’t answer in a much conventional way either but the endpoint was still the same.
Kyuhyun still felt he was rejected and dumped.
“Cho Kyuhyun!!!”
“Great…now I’m hallucinating.” Kyuhyun tried to figure out if he’s already having a fever because he was starting to shiver too.
“ CHO KYUHYUN!!!!” Ryeowook screamed at the top of his lungs.
Kyuhyun turned around and he eyes went wide to see an equally harassed- looking Ryeowook despite holding an umbrella. He stopped on his tracks and waited for Ryeowook to be in front of him.
“You’re so stupid! What were you thinking running away in this rain like that?!” Ryeowook pulled Kyuhyun under the protection of his umbrella.
Kyuhyun was speechless but he looked at Ryeowook with love in his eyes.
“Why are you here?” Kyuhyun tried to look at Ryeowook’s eyes but the other avoided his gaze.
“I…I…to be honest…I still don’t know…”
Kyuhyun leaned forward and kissed his lips in a split second. Ryeowook was shocked and he was not able to react.
“Hey…do it again.I was caught unaware. I was not given a chance to react properly. Ryeowook closed his eyes and pouted his lips, tipping his head upward a bit, waiting to be kissed.
Kyuhyun started to laugh uncontrollably looking at Ryeowook like that. He encircled his arms around Ryeowook, pulling him into a very tight hug. The smaller man felt the other’s damp clothes wetting his relatively dry ones but he didn’t care. He can honestly say there’s no warmer place on earth than this.
“Help me figure this out…will you?” Ryeowook whispered as Kyuhyun raised his head from being buried on Ryeowook’s neck, but still holding him.
“Sure…” Kyuhyun stroked Ryeowook’s jaw gently as he leaned forward, taking his time as he watched Ryeowook’s eyelashes flutter as he closed their lips together. He kissed him slowly and gently as possible. Feeling Ryeowook’s soft lips against his just made the storm infested city and the stagnant traffic in the background turn into a welcoming grassy picnic ground in a sunny, sunny day.
Ryeowook felt blissful as Kyuhyun finally kissed him properly. He pulled Kyuhyun’s nape downward to deepen the kiss as his other hand still held on tightly to his umbrella.
In his mind, Ryeowook was saying;
“Who needs to stay sane every day anyway?”
