Summary: Kibum runs in to his long-time crush for the so manieth time, but this time she notices him too.
A/N: Shoot me, I still didn't write anything for this. All my writing goes into RP and the occasional Memories update. I hardly even write one-shots anymore..
He looked from one at the other for a while, taking in their shocked and somewhat guilty expressions, and found himself unable to hide a smile. “Okay, so you were obviously talking about me.” he then said amused, still looking from person to person. “What gossip were the old ladies exchanging then?”
“Just talking about your famous personality.” Jongwoon was the first to reply, smiling again as well by then. “You know, the one you use as an excuse for every weird thing you do.” He showed a playful grin. “Wouldn’t surprise me if ever you get interviewed and they ask you why you chose the major you’re doing that you’ll answer that ‘your personality just made you unable to do anything else.’” Zhou Mi and Soojin chuckled at those words and he found himself grinning as well.
“I probably would, yes. Got any problems with that?” he asked, still with the same amused tone of voice. Jongwoon grinned at him, making him grin back instantly.
“Actually I don’t.” the elder then replied, right as Zhou Mi was called towards the snooker table. He chuckled as he watched his friend go. Moments later Soojin tugged Yumiko away from them as well and then Jongwoon and Heeyoung walked up to the rest again. He followed suit, since his turn came after Zhou Mi’s. When it was his turn he managed to get the last coloured ball into the corner hole, but then failed at putting the black one in. He took a distance again from the table and moments later Soojin walked up to him. She didn’t speak, however, and so he decided to talk first.
“So are you avoiding me or not?” he asked. From the corners of his eyes he saw her turning to look up at him, surprise edged on her face. He had to repress the urge to smile as he waited for her answer.
“Avoid you? Why would I be avoiding you?” she countered. He turned his head away from the people at the snooker table and locked eyes with her. She didn’t turn her gaze away, but shifted uncomfortably, which caused him to turn back to the snooker table while he replied.
“You know.. I haven’t really spent time with you anymore after Tuesday. You didn’t go along with us on Friday evening like you usually do, and just now when I came to stand with your group, you quickly left.” He made sure to not look at her again and not to make the tone of his voice too accusing because he didn’t want her to feel bad because of it.
“Well, I wanted to give my other friends some attention as well during the week, you know; the ‘dealing with a large group of friends’-thing, but Heechul.. That’s Heechul.. When you give him a minute of attention, he immediately demands the next four days as well. He invited me for dinner at his house on Friday, which I told you. That wasn’t an excuse to get out of going out with you guys, if that was what you were thinking.” she started explaining, looking up at him again. He smiled, glancing at her again from the corner of his eyes. “I actually came up to you to ask if you had time after school tomorrow to go somewhere with me.” she then said and he turned to look at her with a full-out smile.
“Sure. Where did you plan on going to?” he retorted. She grinned sheepishly and shrugged.
“I don’t know, just..somewhere? I didn’t really have a place in mind, just wanted to spend some time with you again. Talk a little, maybe take some pictures.” she mumbled and he couldn’t help but chuckling as she mentioned that last part.
“You’re really enjoying your job of model, aren’t you?” he said, smiling. It felt nice to know that she herself wanted to propose going out together. Perhaps she was finally taking steps herself..
“Actually I was thinking more of me taking pictures of you this time. You know, this ‘making myself able to look at something forever’ kind of stuff. Some guy told me about it once, it sounded interesting.” she replied, apparently trying to sound like she didn’t care much. He had to repress a chuckle in order to be able to reply just as nonchalantly.
“This kind of stuff, huh? Must have been one weird guy.” he said, walking up to the snooker table again as they called him for his turn. He had an attempt at getting the black ball in again, but since he wanted to continue his conversation with Soojin, he was kind of glad when he failed. “So tomorrow after school you’ll drive me somewhere and I bring my camera?” he asked, once he was standing next to her again.
“Yeah, sure, I’ll drive somewhere.” she replied, as if no time had passed between their previous talk and his reply. “My car can use some movement. She’s been getting so little exercise lately with everyone driving me around like that.”
“He. A car is always a he.” a voice spoke from behind them then, as Jongwoon suddenly appeared next to her. She jumped in surprise, turning to his hyung to hit his arm.
“Stop doing that!” she scolded him, making him grin and Jongwoon chuckle. She then turned to look at Heeyoung, who stood not that far away. “Unni, please keep your boyfriend with you. We don’t want our Loonytunes wandering around like this.” she told the older woman, making his chuckle turn into a laugh. Jongwoon and Soojin then went into a discussion about the nickname ‘Loonytunes’ which later on also involved Heeyoung and Eun Hee. It ended when Siwon managed to get the black ball into the right corner and thereby win the game.
After an appropriate celebration of Siwon’s success, they paid for their drinks and the snooker games. It was time to leave since it was getting more towards the evening - dinner time - and some still had to get some studying done. The exams were getting closer every day with only about a month left to go, so it was more than normal for the people to get a little anxious. Especially Shindong, Tae Woo and Hangeng who were in the last year of their studies.
Since everyone had been getting rides from everyone to get there, it was a little bit of a mess to see who went home with which car, but in the end it was settled and he merely had to take Zhou Mi home with him. They said goodbye to everyone, wishing people a nice dinner and a good evening, before getting into the car. Zhou Mi seemed pretty hyped up about something, but he didn’t have to wait long to find out what, because even before he pulled out of the parking lot, the Chinese young man happily asked: “So what did you and Soojin talk about?”
He laughed, then retold the conversation as he remembered it. The rest of their evening - aside from the time during dinner where they had some small talk with his mother - was spent on talking about the people they had met that evening, the two games of snooker and the things they had talked about with those others. He went to bed early that evening, hoping that the next day would bring good things to come.
And it did, because he was going out with Soojin again. Even though classes passed by slowly, once they were done he met up with her at the parking lot. They got into her car that time, which was a whole new experience on its own looking at how old her car was, and set off. After driving a little, exchanging some ideas about where to go and chatting a little, he offered to point the way as he still knew a nice place.
It didn’t take them long to get there so soon after she pulled over in front of the pancake house. It was amusing to see her reaction to that and even more amusing when she spotted Jongwoon’s car. He lead her inside then, allowing her to look around at the design - the wall held some of his pictures - while he went searching for Henry. It was once again nice to see Soojin conversing with one of his friends an actually getting along, but after a while he decided that it was even nicer to see her interacting with him and being happy, so he asked Henry to make some pancakes for Soojin because she was hungry.
As the young man went to the kitchen to make them, he took Soojin to the Chinese garden, letting her gawk over all the pretty things around her. He almost felt amazed again himself, that’s how contagious her excitement was. When he had took in his surroundings himself as well, he turned to look at her, smiling like a proud parent probably would watching their child adore something they gave.
“Well, what do you think?” he finally decided to ask. She kept looking at the garden, but at least did reply to his question.
“What do I think? I think that if I take pictures of you in this garden you might just not be the handsomest thing on the pictures, and that’s an achievement, believe me.” she said. He was stunned for a moment, realising she was actually complimenting him. Or even flirting with him? She turned around then, reaching out a hand to him. “Let’s walk through it.” she offered and he couldn’t help smiling as he walked up to her.
He ignored her hand, walking past her and leading the way up the curly path. They didn’t have to walk a long way for the pancake house to disappear from their sight behind them, making him relax a little. Although there wasn’t really anyone looking from inside, it still felt better to know they weren’t visible to possible customers either.
“It is indeed a nice place.” he randomly commented, trying to start a new conversation. He saw Soojin looking up at him in his peripheral vision, but didn’t look back, just continuing his casual conversation. “I came here once to take pictures. They were really quite good, even if I say so myself. Henry’s mother had one enlarged and it hangs inside the pancake house now.”
“I’m sure they were wonderful indeed.” she replied. He turned to look at her for a moment, before eyeing the surroundings again as they walked. She stopped suddenly, turning to look at one of the plants on the side of the road. He stopped a few steps further, waiting for her to finish studying it all. When she did and looked up at him, she quickly walked up to him again. He turned back to the road, but right as he wanted to walk away, she took hold of his hand.
He looked down on their intertwined hands, raising his eyebrows in question as he looked back up at her. Instead of the explanation he expected to get from her, she took a step up to him and wrapped her free arm around him. For a moment he was frozen in place, but then he put his arm around her too, their hands still entangled in between them.
“You’re confusing, you know that?” she mumbled against his shirt. It took a moment to realise what she had said, but when he did, he couldn’t hold back a chuckle, because that was exactly how he thought about her.
“Am I?” he wondered out loud.
“Yes you are. Kissing me and then not doing anything anymore. Why don’t you just tell me you like me, at least then I know what it’s all about.” she replied, moving back a little and looking up at him. He was grinning still over the irony of her thinking he was confusing.
“Now where’s the fun in that?” he decided to joke. She rolled her eyes at that, something which made him smile.
“At least I wouldn’t have to come up with conspiracy theories with Yumiko or question your friends to find out that way what you’re up to.” she protested and he realised that she had actually been trying to make theories about what he was up to.
“So that was what you were doing the past week?” His voice sounded just as amused as he felt, so he was sure she’d get how funny he thought the whole conversation.
“No. I was spending time with my other friends and waiting for you to make another move the past week. The conspiracy theories and the questioning of your friends happened only yesterday.” she retorted, sounding like she didn’t really mind confessing her plans. “Well actually I didn’t question them. I just started a conversation and they happily told me about you. That was until you showed up and ruined it all. Jongwoon was just about to tell us about the girl you liked about a year ago but whom you didn’t want to talk to yet.”
“Oh I’m sorry.” he said amused. “But I doubt Jongwoon could have told you anything, for he doesn’t know who it was either.” She didn’t reply to that anymore, but neither did she move away, so they kept standing there, hugging each other in the middle of a Chinese garden. Suddenly she sighed.
“You’re really going to make me do it, aren’t you?” she then asked, causing him to frown.
“Make you do what?” he inquired, but before he could even have a guess at what she was talking about, she stood up on her toes, thereby closing the distance between their faces, and kissed him.
