An orange sky, pink clouds that looked so much like cotton candies, a rarely warm wind that blowed in the autumn noon, and a short lady who was in a hurry, avoiding someone who was running after her.
“Wait, Miss! Wait up!” The husky voice sounded between his short breath. He’s a singer and yet his body condition is as weak as ever.
Ryeowook was cursing under her breath, why was the man kept following her everywhere? Since that day, he seemed never leave her alone, always creeping up behind her and popped out in the most ridiculous circumstances. Okay, he’s cute and have a nice voice, but she had nothing to offer for a gangster. “Leave me alone, okay?”
“But... but...” He tried to pushed out some words out of his burning throat while waving a small box of cherry tomatoes, “Aiiishhh!”. He was frustrated. Just a minute ago, he saw her in front of the supermarket but she just ran away when she looked at him with a terrified expression on her cute face, resulting the cherry tomatoes box to fell from her grocery bag without her notice. Yesung took it and ran after her to gave it back to her. But she already vanished into a thin air. He wondered, how on earth a small lady like that could run so damn fast, especially in the middle of busy road like this. Apparently, her little body made it easier for her to slipped through the crowd. Yesung sighed heavily. “I just want to give this back to you.”
‘Why did she so afraid of me? Am I scary?’ Yesung thought mentally. He stared at the cherry tomatoes box in his hand. “What should I do with this?” He then recalled to the first time when he met her in the supermarket, about a week ago.
==It was an usual tiring day, Yesung just got home after teaching in the university. On his way, he felt so hungry that he decided to dropped by in the supermarket to grabbed some kimbab and coffee. When he was counting the money for the payment, accidentally he bumped into someone and her groceries were scattered everywhere. He felt sorry and tried to help to gathered the things for her, but when he saw her and their eyes met, Yesung felt like he’s been shot by a cupid’s arrow. His breath was hitch like there’s no air between them, it’s cliche, but it damn happened. Out of his mind, because apparantly his mind was visiting the heaven at the moment, he was staring at her blankly, so much for the emotionless Yesung.
Unfortunately, the lady didn’t have the same thought with him, she was admiring Yesung’s cute face at first, but his blank expression and also his black outfit from head to toe, not to mention his ear piercings, scarred the hell out of her. Her eyes became wider and she suddenly ran for her life like there’s no tomorrow.==
Since then, whenever Yesung and Ryeowook met each other accidentally, whether it was in the supermarket, at the bus station, or at the train, Ryeowook would always running away from him as if he’s somekind of a pervert or something. But, it’s not Yesung if he gave up, so whenever she ran, he always pursued her.
That’s probably the second reason why she always scared and running away... because a scary stranger kept running after her. But Yesung never thought of that possibilty, though. In fact, his determination increased whenever he lost her.
“Next time, I’ll catch you, Miss. Just wait for me.” Yesung mumbled alone, and then finally realize that probably she will ran to other planet if she ever heard his words.
.....
There was one slumped body between the colourful carpets and bean chairs that spread all over the room, and it was Kyuhyun’s. Today he had a rare day off from his college, so he decided to help Sungmin preparing for the kids’movie day tomorrow. All of the small tables and chairs had been stacked and pushed onto one of the corner of the room, giving a huge space for them so they can watch movies while sprawling on the floor. There was a huge white screen hanging on the wide white wall that didn’t covered by the children’s drawing and a movie projector that belong to Principal Shin. He never knew that staying at school until late for extra hours was really tiring and yet Sungmin often did that. She said she had a lot to do for her class.
Just like now, Kyuhyun sure if he had to do all of this this alone, he won’t be able to wake up in the next morning. But Sungmin never whined or complained, even a little bit. She said that the kids’ smiles were like vitamins for her, so she really want to make them happy everyday. She always came up with new ideas every week if not every day. She wanted to make the school as the happiest place on earth for the kids. Sungmin came up with the ‘movie day’ idea about a couple of days ago, Kyuhyun heard her when she was asking for Principal’s Shin approval to do such thing in her class, and she got it right away. Kyuhyun also knew that the chubby principal really proud of her and love her just like his own daughter.
Although Kyuhyun dead tired like a zombie, there’s one thing that made him especially happy today. It’s the fact that Sungmin finally want to accept his offer to help her. This’s the first time and supposedly not a big deal, but Kyuhyun couldn’t help but smiling all day long, even when he was lying soul-less on the carpet right now. A gentle nudge on his feet finally wake him up from his trance.
“Why are you smiling alone, creepy?” Sungmin grinned widely above him. She was holding two big mugs on her hands.
Still smiling, even wider now, Kyuhyun sat. “Nothing.”
Sungmin gave him a sceptical look but choosed to ignore it instead as she flopped herself beside him on the carpet and gave him his mug. “Black hot coffee.” Kyuhyun shivered at their closeness but decided to just enjoy it instead. It’s warm after all and he smiled once again.
Kyuhyun mumbled a soft thank you while sipping it carefully. He glanced to Sungmin’s mug and found white substance floating on her chocolate milk. “What’s that?” he asked curiously.
Sungmin’s eyes followed his eyes and she smiled sweetly. “It’s marshmallow.”
“Why do you get marshmallow and I’m not?” Kyuhyun lifted one of his eyebrows.
Sungmin lifted her eyebrows while widening her eyes cutely, “You like marshmallow? I thought black coffee didn’t go well with marshmallow.”
Kyuhyun chuckled inwardly, how precious and cute Sungmin’s face everytime she changed her expression. If only he can put her in his pocket. “Of course... I don’t like it.” He smirked.
Sungmin’s eyes getting bigger, just as big as a doughnut. “What? So why did you complained?” Realizing that the younger man was actually only teasing her, she huffed and pouted while puffing her cheeks. Really, Sungmin’s annoyed face was the cutest for Kyuhyun and again, he decided that he just like it and probably want to see more of it. Because to be honest, he’s been addicted, just like that.
After a couple of comfortable silent with some sipping and slurrping sound, Kyuhyun decided to started another conversation. “So, how did you get the idea to make this movie day?”. Not that the silence between him and Sungmin was suffocating or uncomfortable, no, it’s actually far from that. It’s a very relaxing and sweet silence and he loved it. But he scared that Sungmin would felt bored hanging out with him if he stayed silent and just enjoying the moment.
Sungmin chuckled, “It’s out of the blue. Just snapped like that, because I’m a genius.”
Sungmin flicked her small fingers in the process.
Kyuhyun snorted, “Yeah, right.”
Sungmin tilted her head while frowning, “What? You don’t believe me?”
Kyuhyun laughed, he wondered how many cute expressions were actually Sungmin had under her sleeve? She never failed to amused him. Oh and this funny feeling that always came up when he saw her, he already used to it and was actually looking forward for it now.
Sungmin pouted, “Fine! Am I that obvious?” She huffed before continuing her sentence, “Actually, it was Siwon-shii who inspired me about this. He once said that Hae really loves to watch Finding Nemo, so I thought it will be a great idea to let the kids watching movie together.”
Kyuhyun’s breath hitched painfully at the mentioned of that name. A sudden of uncomfortable pang was coming back creeping in his chest. Weird enough but it’s not important, is it? Kyuhyun shrugged mentally.
“Are you dating him?”
Kyuhyun’s question was just slipping out of his mouth before he can stopped it. Sungmin was wearing the same surprised expression as Kyuhyun when she looked at him. But it’s soon swept by her usual playful face, a faint of tint pink blush coloring her face. “No.. No I’m not.” She smiled shyly before suddenly throwing her counter attack question towards Kyuhyun, “What about you and Seo Hyunnie?”
This time, it was Kyuhyun’s cheek who was flushing pink. “Wh.. what about me?” he asked her back. He knew that he definitely stuttered for a different reason, not because of the question about his crush toward Seo Hyun, but more like because it was Sungmin who was asking him the question. ‘Another unexplainable thing’, he thought in mind. Kyuhyun really had no idea about what’s been happening inside his body and mind lately.
Sungmin was jutting out her pink shiny lower lips, “No fair. You didn’t answer me.” She acted dissapointed and then took a good gulp of her cocoa. When she lowered her glass, there was a white thin moustache on her heart shapped upper lips and Kyuhyun was staring at the sight. “What?” She lifted her eyebrows curiously.
Kyuhyun took no time but leaning towards Sungmin without hesitation at all, “Are girls doing this so that men can do this?” He was leaning closer and closer. Sungmin eyes getting wider, her cheeks was reddening each seconds and unconciously she even stopped breathing.
As Kyuhyun was leaning closer, Sungmin could see his features clearly. She even can pointed out his features that she like. His clear dark brown eyes, his long and black eye lashes, his sharp and tall nose, his thin pink lips, his milky white cheeks with some soft acne scars, and his pointy jaw. Sungmin liked it all. Unconciously her heart thumped faster than the usual and she licked her lips with her pink little tongue cutely. That gesture if her had successfully stopped Kyuhyun in his track and then he bursting out laughing like mad.
Sungmin blinked, was that brat teasing her? “Yah! Cho!! Who do you think you are? Hyun Bin?” Sungmin flared while putting her mug on the floor. “Are you teasing me? How dare you tease a noona??” Her face resembles a pretty red tomato.
“What noona?” Kyuhyun can’t help but laughing while holding his stomach. His eyes were watery because of too much laughing. He really enjoyed it.
“This noona, brat!” Sungmin bit her lower lips while poking Kyuhyun’s side with her left point finger and that successfully made Kyuhyun jumped a little. Sungmin raised her eyebrows, “Oho! So you’re ticklish, huh?” while keep poking Kyuhyun with her every words and Kyuhyun squealed out of what he thought ‘a man’ squeal. Kyuhyun was defensing himself while reaching out his long and lanky arm to tickling Sungmin back, and apparently the girl was as ticklish as him, if not more.
In the end, the both of them were much more exhausted because of the childish act and the endless laughter. But it’s all worthy for both party.
......
It was a very hectic day. Sungmin brought a lot of snacks for the kids and they can’t stop squelling that Kyuhyun couldn’t help but chuckling along. Sungmin was smiling brightly all day long, while arranging the kids on the carpeted floor and asked them to sat wherever they like. The kids were so excited that they kept talking nonstop, especially Donghae and his best friend, Hyukjae, who couldn’t stop screaming “AWESOME!”. The class getting noisier when Kim Heechul insisted that he should sat on top of the double bean chairs because he’s a princess like that and asked the strong Youngwoon to stacked it up for him, while Youngwoon himself kept whined “But, I’m the boss!” to Heechul and still did what he’d been ordered to, nontheless. Henry started to stuffing mini chocolate filling mochies to his little mouth even before the movie started, and Amber, his bestfriend, thought that it’s a good idea to licked the chocolate that had been smearing around Henry’s face.
The little class even become merrier when Ryeowook’s class and Seo Hyun’s class decided to tag along in the movie day activity. They brought their own cookies, juice, and milk and shared it among each other. After a short debate of what movie that they should watch, (Finding Nemo, Cars, and The Incredibles are the strongest candidate), finally they decided to watch Finding Nemo, much to Donghae’s delight. He couldn’t stop saying to everyone who want to listen to him that he’s a Nemo too, while Hyukjae stating that he’s actually a strawberry.
Mrs. Shin joined them and watched from one of the comfy chair. Ryeowook was sitting on the blue carpet and was surrounded by her students, Kyuhyun sat at the farest corner of the room and Seo Hyun joined him not long after that. Seo Hyun smiled sweetly while scooting over to him and Kyuhyun just let out a polite nod. He looked around and found Sungmin was sitting on the opposite side from them. Her body was leaning to Heechul’s bean chair while her hand was stroking both Donghae’s and Hyukjae’s hair that were lying on her lap gently. He could see how much Sungmin care to those kids, especially Donghae. He couldn’t help but to think about the motive behind her action. And Siwon-shii was coming into his mind in an instant.
He closed his eyes and shook his head softly, trying to get rid off the heavy feeling in his chest everytime he thought about Sungmin and Siwon, and this was capturing Seo Hyun’s interest.
“Are you sleepy, Kyuhyun-shii?” she asked curiously.
Kyuhyun looked at her and somehow he wondered, why did his heart didn’t flutter at all when he was sitting near to Seo Hyun like this? Come to think of it, he never felt anything weird or funny whenever he was with Seo Hyun. Heck, he even didn’t blushed now and his stomach was completely fine. And why was that? Was it because he felt too comfortable with Seo Hyun? He frowned.
“Kyuhyun-shii?” Seo Hyun asked him once again.
Kyuhyun snapped back to reality and stood up, “I think I need to go to the rest room.”
After spending 10 good minutes in the bathroom, washing his face with cold water and then grabbed some water from the fridge, he finally going back to the class. He was about to approached Seo Hyun and sat on his initial spot when suddenly his eyes catched Sungmin’s figure leaning pathetically on the bean chair. Apparently she was too tired that she fell asleep in the middle of the movie. Kyuhyun halted his steps and turned to walk to Sungmin. He stopped before her and flopped himself beside her carefully. He looked at her sleeping face with a slight smile ghosting her pink lips, so peaceful, so sirene, and so beautiful. He didn’t know why, but he didn’t hesitate at all to pulled her head and put it to rest on his shoulder with extra care, so he wouldn’t woke her up in the process. His right arm slipped behind her back and reached to her waist carefully to help Sungmin’s body lied comfortably against him. He heard a snort from somewhere near him and found Heechul, the self- proclaimed princess brat, was smirking at him from above his so called bean chair throne. Kyuhyun lifted his left point finger and put it in front of his lips as to gave Heechul a sign to not made any noise that can woke Sungmin up. The brat was smirking once again before gave him a thumb up and resumed his watching activity. Kyuhyun couldn’t help but think, what kind of a man Heechul will become when he grown up in the future.
The warmth of Sungmin’s body successfully made him felt at ease, like he was actually belong there. And Sungmin’s strawberry and green apple shampoo scent was dancing in his nosethrils and made all of his senses relax. It actually felt like home.
And soon, he joined Sungmin in lalaland, completely forgot about someone who already wait for him to get back from the rest room since 15 minutes ago and finally burnt in jealousy when she found out where he was.
....
The movie day ended with lots of smiles plastered on everybody’s face. Mrs. Shin and Ryeowook felt contented to saw the kids happy, the kids were all excited and telling their ummas who came to picked them up about the brave little fish named Nemo.
And of course, Kyuhyun went to his university with an extremely bright smile on his face. Principal Shin even said that he heard Kyuhyun was whistling faintly on his way to the gate and chuckled at the young man’s good mood.
But there’s a gloomy girl that stood alone while picking up the trash.
Sungmin was cleaning up the carpet and folded it with Ryeowook when she saw the annoyed expression on Seo Hyun’s face. After sweeping up the floor and put the chairs and tables to the right places, she came over to Seo Hyun who was standing silently in front of one of the window’s class, staring out into whatever God knows what. “Seo Hyunnie..” Sungmin gave a cup of hot tea to her.
Seo Hyun accepted it while muttering a soft thank you to her.
Sungmin couldn’t explain it, but she thought that there’s a thick uncomfortable silence that surrounding the both of them. She want to asked the younger girl what’s been bothering her, but before she could opened her mouth, Seo Hyun beat her to it, “I don’t know about your feeling, Unnie, but you have Siwon-shii and I like Kyuhyun-shii. I’m going to confess to him, and I WON’T give up.” Seo Hyun spoke seriously.
Sungmin looked shocked for a while, but in less than a blink, she was back to her usual calm manner, “No, of course not.” Sungmin nodded with an understanding expression and then walked out of the room silently.
