Chap. 1 , Chap. 2, Chap. 3, Chap. 4, Chap. 5, Chap. 6
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's mid-october, a couple of weeks since the night of the movies.
Many things have change. First off things at school started to change. The students started to take notice of Hankyung's close relation to the most popular boys in school. They started to treat him as if he was royalty too. Opening doors for him, moving out of his way in the hallway, and always bowing to him.
He did learn one fault of being popular though, its not very safe to be alone at school after hours. Because when you are girls, as he later learned were refeared to as the groups 'fan girls', would crowd around you, and drown you with love letters and compliments. He fount that out the hard way when he stayed late at school one day, to catch up on some studying. He had to be rescued by the Eunhae couple, who stay at school late for dance lessons.
Heechul started to call Hankyung everynight, just to tell him goodnight. Hankyung started anticipated these calls. Wanting the last voice he heard at night to be the soft and sweet voice of Heechul, it was almost like a lullaby to him.
As the two became closer, Hankyung started to have much stronger feeling towards Heechul, then he had before. He felt like he was in love with him. He had no idea of what to do. He couldn't tell Heechul his feelings. Atleast not until he know Heechul held the same feeling towards him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hankyung was in the library, before school, the safe time to be alone without being crowded by 'fan girls'. He was trying to concentrate on the words before him in his history book, but something was on his mind. Or someone.
HEECHUL!! HEECHUL!! HEECHUL!! His mind screamed at him.
Hankyung shook his head in frustration, he felt like he was getting a headache. "I need to concentrate." He spoke aloud to himself, putting a hand on his forehead, and trying to concentrate on the words.
....In the early Common Era, the Three Kingdoms Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje conquered other successor states of Gojoseon and came to dominate the peninsula and much of Manchuria. The three kingdoms competed with each other both economically and militarily.Heechul and Heechul were more powerful for much of the era, especially Heechul, which defeated massive....
AHH!! Now I'm seeing his name everywhere. Hankyung thought to himself. He was defiently getting a headache now. Hankyung closed his history book, and opened his math book. Saying there is no way an obtuse angle could remind him of Heechul.
He had finally settled into learning the convergence test, when he was interrupted.
"Hello Hankyung."
Hankyung lifted his head up to see who it was, hoping it wasn't a 'fan girl'. "Oh hi Eeteuk hyung." Hankyung said, happy to have a distraction, other than the voices in his head. "Please sit down." He motioned to the seat across from his.
"What are you doing here so early?" Eeteuk asked, sittiing down.
"Just catching up on some studying." Hankyung replied, holding up his mathbook as proof. "What about you?"
"Kangin has a before school detention, and he doesn't trust me to drive myself to school. He thinks I might kill myself." Eeteuk replied.
"You do drive badly." Hankyung said with a slight chuckle. He started to remember one day when he saw Eeteuk nearly crash into a pole in the student parking lot.
"It's not that bad." Eeteuk muttered. "So anyway.You've been here in Seoul for awhile now. Your not even considered the new student anymore. How has it been?"
"It's been good. Especially since I became friends with you and the rest of the guys." Hankyung answered. "Oh thanks by the way..for letting me be part of the group."
"No thanks needed. We like having you around. Your a great addition to the group." Eeteuk said, with a smile.
"It's not like you needed anymore. There is enough in the group to start a football team." Hankyung said, with a laugh.
"Well if it's football Kangin is defiently the quarterback." Eeteuk said with a laugh "I'm probably just the coach."
"You would be a great coach. Oh, wait Heechul doesn't like sports. He would probably just be the cheerleader." Hankyung said, still laughing.
Eeteuk laughed," Yea your right, Heechul would never play football, he doesn't like to sweat," He stopped laughing, and thought for a bit." Speaking of Heechul..You two have become very close, right?" Eeteuk became serious.
Hankyung was surprised at his change of tone, and was surprised at the accusation (And maybe a bit embarrassed). "Yea I guess you could say that. But I don't think I'm anymore closer to him, than I am with anyone else from the group." Hankyung said nervously, trying with all his might not to blush at the accusation.
"Oh, but I think you are closer... I think you are indeed." Eeteuk said, putting both his hands under his chin, leaning in closer towards Hankyung, and waggling his eyebrows.
"W-what?" Hankyung stuttered, feeling even more nervous and uncomfortable than before.
"Oh come on." Eeteuk said, sitting back up, and rolling his eyes. "I see the way you stare at him. It's as if your staring at a god or something."
"I do not." Hankyung stated, looking down, hiding the blush that was crawlig across his face. Praying the floor would someone open up, and swallow him whole.
"Yes..you do. You are always gaping at him. He's the only one you don't get mad at for making fun of your chinese accent. You're always with him. And what was with that whole 'buying matching sweaters' business awhile ago?" Eeteuk questioned.
"What exactly are you trying to saw, hyung?" Hankyung asked, totally ignoring the question.
"I'm trying to say." Eeteuk started leaning in closer and lowering his voice to a whisper. " That I know you like Heechul." Eeteuk finished in a matter- of- fact tone.
Hankyung's mouth gaped open. He could not believe the words that just came out of the man's mouth. He tried to speak, so he could tell the accusing man before him that there was no way he could actually like Heechul. That he could possibly even think about liking such an egotistical, rude, mean, (pretty), girly, prince-like man. Tell him that he doesn't stare at Heechul like he's a god, that he's always with Heechul because he is usually forced to be with him, and he doesn''t get mad at Heechul for making fun of his chinese because he would like to live to see his 18th birthday.
So basically..you know.. lie his brains out. But no words would come out. Yeah.. he was never the best at lying.
So he said the only thing he could think of, "No, I don't."
It probably would of been more convincing if he wasn't as red as a tomato from the blushing, and he actually looked at Eeteuk instead, of the table.
"Come on. Don't play dumb." Eeteuk said, eyeing Hankyung," You don't have to pretend with me."
Hankyung sighed. Maybe it would be a good thing if someone in the ' inner-circle' knew about his not-so little secret. He thought to himself. He sighed again, admitting defeat. "Ok..yea.. I do..like Heechul." he sighed again for the nth time that day. " I don't even know why, but I do." Hankyung said.
"Yes, I knew it." Eeteuk said, giving himself a congratulatory clap, then he thought for a second at Hankyung's last statement. " You don't know why you do?"
Hankyung shook his head. "No, I don't know why. It's just something about him that draws me to him. I don't know what it is." Hankyung put his hand under his chin, and just stared at nothing in particular.
"Well," Eeteuk started, snapping in front of Hankyung's face to draw him back into reality. " His prettyness is an inevitable...Hmm ...maybe it's his niceness?" Eeteuk questioned.
"Niceness? Are we talking about the same Kim Heechul, here? The same Kim Heechul I once saw threaten Donghae with his life for accidentally spilling juice on his shirt." Hankyung said.
"Ok well.. he may not be nice as a whole. But he does have his moments. You just have to wait." Eeteuk said after laughing at Hankyung's remark.
"Right. Well..I'll be waiting." Hankyung said. Then closed his math book, and put it and his other books in his backpack, getting ready to leave. Then he thought about something. "Eeteuk, would you happen to know if..Heechul is..." Hankyung trailed off.
"If Heechul is gay? No, I don't know. I have known him pactically all my life, and that's probably the one thing I don't know about him." Eeteuk stated with a thoughtful expression. "He's never dated anyone..female or male. And whenever he gets a love note , he just ignores it.."
"So, that would also mean you wouldn't know if he likes me.." Hankyung said, a frown appearing.
Eeteuk sighed,"Sorry..No I wouldn't. But I have never seen him act the way he does around you, with anyone else. He's always so...I don't know what's the word. Playful? I don't know...But it's so weird how he just connected with you instantly..It took him a year to get used to Zhou mi being around. If there is a chance, you defiently have a big one." Eeteuk shot him a reassuring smile.
Just then the bell for first period rang. Hankyung stood up, and Eeteuk followed suit. They walked to their first period class in silence until it was time for them to go in separate directions.
"Eeteuk hyung." Hankyung said very slowly and quietly, since there were still some students in the hallway. "Yes hankyung?" Eeteuk questioned back.
"Can you please not tell anybody about..you know what. I would like to keep it a secret." Hankyung asked.
"Of course I'm great about keeping secrets." Eeteuk winked at him, and entered into his classroom.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Hankyung walked into the classroom, and got the usual stares as he walked to his seat. He noticed Heechul's and Siwon's seat were empty. The final bell wasn't do to ring for another ten minutes so he decided to study, since he didn't get much done in the library.
After awhile he felt two hands cover his eyes.
"Guess who?" The mysterious person asked. Hankyung knew who it was, but decided to play along.
"Yesung?"
"No."
"Donghae?"
"No." The voice said boldly, you could practically hear the irritation in his voice.
"Eunh-"
"No! You stupid chinese man. It is me, Heechul." Heechul said after uncovering Hankyung's face, and hitting him lightly on the head.
"Oh. I would have never guessed." Hankyung said after laughing. "Whatever." Heechul said after sitting down in his seat next to Hankyung's.
"Hello Hankyung hyung." Siwon said peering from his own desk, beside Heechul's.
"Oh, hi Siwon." Hankyung waved to Siwon. When did he get here? He thought to himself.
"So, what were you doing?" Heechul asked Hankyung.
"Just doing some studying."
"Ugh..studying." said Heechul, grabbing the book from Hankyung's desk,flipping through some of the pages, and then closed the book with a muffled thud. "Studying.. is boring. It also makes people boring. Like you for example." Heechul said pointing an accusing finger towards Hankyung.
Hankyung grabbed his book back from Heechul, and returned the stare he gave him, "I am not boring."
"Of course your not." said Heechul sarcastically. Hankyung was about to say something back, but the final bell rung, and the teacher told the class to quiet down. Heechul turned towards the front, but not before sending one of his smirks towards Hankyung.
*~*~*~*~*
The rest of the school day went by very slowly for Hankyung. There were tests, quizzes,and being crowded by 'fan girls'. Luckily it was friday, so he had two days to escape from this hell hole. And two days to spend with Heechul...
Hankyung walked to the school's students parking lot, alone. He wanted to hurry up and get home, or atleast leave the school. This was the time of day when it wasn't so safe to be alone, without getting crowded by 'fan girls'. He put his backpack on the top of his car, fumbling through it to find his keys. He finally fount what he was looking for, and pressed the unlock button on the key chain. He opened the car door and...
"Boo!"
Hankyung was so scared at the sudden outburst that he lost his balance, and fell backwards. He looked up and saw two big brown cat-like eyes staring back at him, and the owner of them laughing uncontrollably.
"Heechul!! How...what? When?... Did you break into my car?" asked Hankyung frantically, still not fully understanding what was going on.
Heechul finally stopped laughing long enough for him to answer, "No I didn't break in your car... You should really remember to lock it. You wouldn't want anyone to make off with it, now would you?" Heechul said, still breaking into laughter here and there.
Hankyung finally calmed down. "Well.. I thought I did lock it." Hankyung said with a pout.
"Aww.. don't you look cute when your all scarred and pouty." Heechul said smirking, and getting out of the car. "You should really get up now. People are starting to stare."
"Yea..I guess I should." Hankyung got up, with a helping hand from Heechul, and wiped his clothes of any dust. "So.. why were you in my car?" Hankyung asked, the confused look returning to his face again.
"Well...I didn't feel like going home... and quite frankly i don't feel like driving either. So, I waited for you, but you were taking too long, and it started to get hotter, and as we all know I don't do sweat. So I tried your door, and it open, so in I went." Heechul explained.
"And the scaring me to death?"
"I was also bored. And that made me unbored."
"Of course it did..."
"Ok..well your here now. So let's go." Heechul said. And before Hankyung could say anything, Heechul went into the car from the driver's seat, and crawled over to the passenger's seat.
Hankyung, still confused, climbed into the car, and tossed his backpack onto the backseat. "And, where exactly are we going?" Hankyung asked.
"Hmm.." started Heechul. "I would say shopping, but lets face it, I probably have been shopping to much lately....Ahah! Why don't we go to your house. I've known you for months now, and I still haven't been there."
"My..house. You want to go to..m-my house?" Hankyung asked, not believing what Heechul just said. Which probably isn't a normal reaction, when all that happened is your friend asked you to visit your house.
"Yes. Your house.." Heechul said slowly, as if Hankyung was slow at comprehending things. "I want to see where you live."
"You've seen my house before. When you picked me up that one time. Remember?"
"Yes, i remember. But you were waiting outside when I picked you up, so I didn't go inside. And it was dark, so I didn't really see it." Heechul retorted back.
"Ok, then." Hankyung said, admitting defeat .He seems to be doing that alot today. He started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
*~*~*~*~*~*
The car was filled with silence. Very, very ackward silence.
Hankyung felt very..weird being alone in a car with Heechul. It's not like it's the first time. He did drive with him to his dad office that one time, and another time when the group went out together, and Heechul picked Hankyung up first. And that was it. But for some reason, this ride felt different.
"Do you have any cds?" Heechul asked out of nowhere.
"Uh..yea.. they are in the glove compartment." Hankyung said, pointing with one hand to the glove compartment.
Heechul took a few out, and examined them.
"They are all in chinese." Heechul stated, while flipping a cd over, and trying to figure out what it said.
"Yes..well I am chinese, if you haven't noticed." Hankyung said, with a slight laugh.
"I know you are chinese. But you are in Korea.. you could have atleast a few korean cds."
"I do, those are in here." Hankyung opened up the arm rest, they were currently at a red light so it was okay, and took out a few cds.
"Oh." Heechul took the cds out of his hand. "Lets see.. H.O.T. Kind of old school, but still cool. Big Bang, SS501, Mc Mong, Boa,2ne1 and Bada. Impressive. I approve in your taste of music." Heechul said, examing each cd.
"Thank you." Hankyung said, a smile appearing on his face.
"But," Heechul started, "You could use some Wonder girls, Brown eyed girls, and Kara."
"Aren't those really girly and cutesy girl groups?" Hankyung asked, even though he wasn't so surprised Heechul liked those groups.
"So. I like them. Especially Wonder girls... Oh I love 'So Hot'." Heechul said, with a big grin on his face.
"I'm sure yo-"
"~I'm so hot
na neomu yepeoyo
I'm so fine
na neomu maeryeokeesseo
I'm so cool
na neomu motjyeo
I'm so so so hot hot~"
"Heechul..what are you doing?" Hankyung asked, bewildered.
"I'm singing. Duh." Heechul said.
"I can tell that your sing-"
"~Modu nareul johahaneun geot katah
Oh, no~ please leave me alone~
Other boys be loving me
Girls be hating me
They will never stop
Cuz they know, I'm so HOT~" Heechul continued to sing, and even started to do the hand gestures that went along with the song.
Lucky for Hankyung they had arrived at his house. He stopped the car, and took the keys out of the ignition.
"Yes, yes. Ok Heechul. We get it. I know that your hot." Hankyung said, before he even realised what he was saying. Hankyung could almost slap himself for saying that.
That last statement made Heechul stop, and a smirk appeared on his face. "You think that I'm hot." Heechul said, more as a statement then a question.
"What? No." Hankyung said. looking everywhere but at Heechul.
"Mmhm..interesting." Heechul said eyeing Hankyung, with a very curious look in his eyes.
"What is?" Hankyung asked, praying his voice would not crack.
"Oh nothing. It's just that most people tell me I'm hot all the time. But you just flat out denied the fact... But it's ok.. I don't need reassurance for me to know that I'm hot." Heechul said, while still eyeing Hankyung. Which was making the latter even more nervous. "Anyway," Heechul started again, suddenly becoming very perky, "Let's go. I want to see your house." And with that he practically bounced out of the car, and started walking to the front door.
"This korean man is going to be the death of me..." Hankyung mumbled to himself, and got out of the car.
*~*~*~*~*
"Wow. Your house is beautiful." Heechul said, gazing upwards and looking at the huge glass chandelier that was above them.
"Thank you." Hankyung said, gazing at Heechul.
Heechul looked back down from the chandelier, and caught Hankyung staring at him.
Hankyung quickly looked away, but could swear he say Heechul smirk.
Heechul walked over to the huge family picture that hung on the nearest wall. He caressed his hand over it,he could feel the velvet canvas it was painted on,he stopped once he got to Hankyung's face. "This painting is beautiful." Heechul said to Hankyung over his shoulder. He looked over it once more, this time spotting something, well more like someone...
"Who is this?" Heechul pointed to the young girl in the picture, who obviously couldn't be Hankyung's mother.
"Oh. That's my sister Minjin."
"You have a sister? You never told me about her?"
"Well. She's my adoptive sister. And i guess the topic never came up." Hankyung said.
"HANGENG!! IS THAT YOU?!?!" Minjin yelled from on top of the stair case, and then pranced her way down the stairs.
"Speaking of the devil." Hankyung said.
"Hey! I'm not the devil." Minjin said, and slapped Hankyung on the back of the head.
"It's a figure of speak. And ow!" Hankyung said, rubbing the back of his head.
Minjin stuck her tongue out at Hankyung, and then turned her gaze to Heechul. "Hello. I'm Minjin. Hangeng's older sister. And you are..?" Minjin asked politely.
"I'm Kim Heechul. Hankyung's best friend." Heechul said.
"Omo! So your Kim Heechul. I have heard so much about you" Minjin said, shooting an ever so evil look to Hankyung.
"Oh. Hannie talks about me?" Heechul said, turning towards Hankyung and smirking, again.
"Hannie?" Minjin asked, still with that evil look in her eye. "Well, yes. Hannie here talks about you all the time."
Hankyung felt he should stop this conversation, before it starts getting any deeper or before he decided to bash his head into the wall.
"Yes. I talk about you. I talk about all my friends." Hankyung said to Heechul, and then shot Minjin a look that said 'If you say one more thing I will personally suffocate you in your sleep tonight'. Minjin just raised her eyebrows at that.
"Well Heechul. Its very nice to meet you." Minjin said, returnig to the polite and innocent Minjin.
"It's nice to meet you too." Heechul said offering a handshake to Minjin, which she accepted.
For some reason when Minjin shook Heechul's hand, Hankyung felt weird inside. Like he wanted to tackle his sister to the floor, and tell her to never touch Heechul again. Was this.. jealousy?
No, I can not be jealous of my sister. Hankyung thought to himself. But still eyed his sister when she let go of Heechul's hand, and walked over to the nightstand to grab her purse.
"Going somewhere?" Hankyung asked, though not really interested.
"Yes. I'm going shopping." Minjin replied.
Heechul got excited at the mention of his favorite word, "Shopping?!"
Minjin raised her eyebrows at first but remembered something Hankyung once told her, "Oh yea. geng once told me you like to shop."
"Well yes I do." Heechul thought for a moment, "He told you about things I like?" Heechul asked, that evil stare coming back to his eyes.
"Yes he did. He also told me you like pink, comic books, drawing.. lots of stuff." Minjin replied, her evil gaze also coming back.
"Oh, really?" Heechul asked, in a tone saying he was quite puzzled by all this, even though it was obvious he wasnt
It was like they were playing cat and mouse. Minjin and Heechul the two cats, and Hankyung the mouse.
He was really starting to consider the whole wall head bashing thing.
"Shouldn't you be going now, Minjin." Hankyung asked.
"Yes, I think I will make my leave now." Minjin said, once again acting all innocent. "But what will you two be doing while I'm gone?"
"I don't know. I will probably give him a tour of the house. And then we will find something to do." Hankyung replied.
"Oh a tour, should be nice. You should defiently show him your room. You know so he can see your closet, dressers, bed...." Minjin said, putting emphasis on the last word.
"Ok, I really think you should be going now!" Hankyung said, and started pushing her towards the door.
"No need to push." Minjin said, trying to hold in her laughter. "Bye Heechul. It was really nice meeting you." She said to him over Hankyung's shoulder. Heechul waved to her in response.
Hankyung closed the door behind her. And was really afraid to turn around back to Heechul. More so because he was pretty sure his face was about as red as an apple.
"She's very nice." Heechul said.
"Yeah, right." Hankyung said, finally turning around.
"I would like my tour now please." Heechul said, smirking again.
You do not want to know how badly Hankyung wanted to scream: Will you stop with the smirking already, It makes my heart stop everytime you do that!!!, to Heechul. But he restrained himself, and just walked away indicating Heechul to follow.
"Your sister is better at korean than you are." Heechul said with a laugh.
There is a wall right here....
*~*~*~*~*~*
Hankyung showed him all the rooms on the bottom floor, from the kitchen to the family room. They were now upstairs. He showed them all the rooms, which most were just miscellaneous rooms, except for their bedrooms. And to Hankyung's regret, they did end up in his room.
"I like your room." Heechul said, while opening up Hankyung's closet and stepping inside.
He returned holding a few clothes, more importantly it was the clothes Hankyung's mom brought. You know the tight jeans, and showy shirts. "Why don't you ever wear these clothes?" Heechul asked, while examing the clothes in his hand.
"I do...sometimes." Hankyung said. Especially the times when Minjin catches me leaving the house in the clothes i like, and forces me into those, Hankyung thought to himself.
"Hmm.. Well you should wear them more." Heechul said, with a slight hidden intention in what he said. He walked back into the closet, and returned once again with clothes. But it was only one piece.. a sweater. "Your sweaters that we bought together." Heechul said, a smile growing on his face.
Hankyung noticed the familair piece of clothing in his hand. "Yeah, you have a pink one to match it." Hankyung said, walking to where Heechul now stood.
"We should wear these more often." Heechul said, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Yes we should." Hankyung said. He looked into the nearby mirror, and both Heechul and he was in the reflection. He thought they looked perfect together in the reflection. Hankyung being only a little taller than Heechul, and being more muscular. And Heechul having long hair that went to about his shoulder, but was now currently in a ponytail. They looked like the perfect couple.
"perfect..." Hankyung whispered.
"What?"
"Oh um, nothing.'" Hankyung said, who just snapped out of his trance.
"Whatever." Heechul said, walking back into the closet and hanging the sweater back up. "I'm hungry." Heechul proclaimed, when he came out of the closet.
"Oh well, would you like to order a pizza?" Hankyung asked.
"No. Don't you have a chef or something?"
"We do. But he has the weekends off."
"Well, can you cook?" Heechul asked.
"Um..I know how to make beijing fried rice." Hankyung said, with a nervous smile.
Heechul clapped once, "Awesome! I love beijing fried rice." Heechul grabbed Hankyung's hand, and dragged him down the hallway, to the staircase, down the stairs, and into the kitchen. Heechul sat down at the table, and made a hand gesture telling Hankyung to continue on.
Hankyung sighed, and went to cupboard that held the pots, and started preparing the rice. Once he was done, he put the rice on two seperate plates, one for him, and one for Heechul. He placed the two plates down on the table.
"Here you go. My special beijing fried rice."
"Special?" Heechul smirked appeared, yet again "Aww.. you made me special beijing fried rice, because I'm a special person in your life. Thank you."
"I dont ever remember saying that." Hankyung said, trying hard not to blush.
'You didn't have to say it. I just know it." Heechul said, then took a spoonful of rice, and ate it. "Ow, wow. This is good."
"Thank you." Hankyung said with a smile.
"No, thank you. I now have a new chef, you." Heechul said, and then took another spoonful of rice.
Hankyung sighed again, but this time not in frustration or irritaion. It was because he was happy. He was with the one he loved. And the one he vowed to make his own.
Fin.
