It’s not the usual orange autumn sky but a dark grey sky with rain, two cups of coffee, and a blank looking Kyuhyun staring out of the window cafe, counting for the rain drops that slided outside the clear glass. Apparently, his companion was excusing herself to the rest room a while ago. He couldn’t help but getting his mind back to Sungmin again. Earlier that day, the petite girl looked different from her usual self. She wasn’t talking much, not smiling much, even looked a little bit swaying just like someone who will fell and faint at anytime. Her skin looked pale and her eyes kinda empty. When he asked whether she was sick or not, she was just smiling weakly and slipping away, told him not to worried about her. Ryeowook was making a cup of hot tea for her, which she drank slowly and thankfully, but Kyuhyun didn’t see her eat anything else for the rest of the day.
‘What if she’s really sick? What if she’s fainted? What if she’s alone when she’s fainted?’ Kyuhyun thought in his mind. He felt like he was having a small storm in his heart and a weird heavy feeling on the bottom pit of his stomach. He couldn’t help but to frowned and sighed heavily.
“I’m sorry if I keep you waiting, Kyuhyun-shii.” Seo Hyun smiled brightly while taking her seat across the table. She looked so fresh right now, just fixing her make up for the most important moment of her life. She was going to tell Kyuhyun-shii of how she felt and ending this night beautifully. Tomorrow, she won’t need to feel worried about Sungmin and her weird closeness with Kyuhyun. The man belongs to her. She won’t give him to her. She likes Kyuhyun and she knew that Kyuhyun must be liked her too.
Kyuhyun looked up to her and smiled to the gorgeous lady before him. They were having dinner at one of the nicest cafe of the town, ‘A Cup of Tea’. He once heard about this cafe from Sungmin. Apparently she loves the strawberry cheese cake from this little cafe. Kyuhyun made a mental note to himself to buy a couple of slices of it and went to Sungmin’s apartment to check her up after this. “No, it’s okay.”
“I’m glad you take my offer to have dinner together tonight.” Seo hyun said nervously, her voice wavering a bit, while her fingers were playing with the spoon in front of her. After a pregnant pause that felt like an eternity, she took a deep breath and continued, “Maybe you already had a hunch of my intention to you.” Another paused from her.
Kyuhyun looked at her nervously. ‘Wait, is she doing what I’m thinking she’ll be doing?’ Kyuhyun asked himself mentally.
Seo Hyun suddenly glanced to Kyuhyun, she looked so determined of what she’ll saying in the next few seconds, “Kyuhyun-shii, I...”
But a sudden ring from her own phone that was lying there on the table cut short her almost confession. Both of them looked at the noisy object and Seo Hyun cursed inwardly when she read the caller id that blinking on the phone screen. ‘Not now, Sungmin.’ She gritted her teeth while pushing the reject call button.
“Who was that?” Kyuhyun asked her.
Seo Hyun laughed awkwardly, “Not important. Forget it.”
Kyuhyun frowned slightly.
“Anyway Kyuhyun-shii, I actually...” But her phone rang for the second times that day. Seo Hyun immediately took it and pushed the power button off for good.
“Why did you turn off your phone?” Kyuhyun asked once again, his frown getting deeper.
“Because there’s nothing important. I bet it’s just a prank call from my friends.” Seo Hyun smiled awkwardly. “They’d been doing it since last night. I really didn’t get their jokes sometimes.” She reasoned out lamely.
Kyuhyun just shrugged, it’s not his business anyway. He glanced to his wrist watch and decided it’s almost late right now, if he want to go and met Sungmin he must be off right now. “So, Seo Hyun-shii, about what you’re talking earlier...”
This time, it was Kyuhyun’s phone which suddenly vibrating in his jeans pocket. “Oh, I’m sorry.” Kyuhyun said apologetically while fishing out his phone from his jeans pocket. His eyes getting widder when he saw who was calling and then answered it right away, “Yoboseyo, Sungmin-shii?” At first, he heard no words from the other line, just weak pants, shattered raindrops that was falling on top of an umbrella, and a faint of cars’ horns and traffics sounds at the back ground. “Sungmin-shii?” Kyuhyun tried once again while Seo Hyun just staring annoyed in front of him.
“K.. Kyuhyun-shii.. Help..”
.....
Kyuhyun was running frantically in the rain, he was searching someone like mad. He was looking out for a little girl, namely Amber who didn’t come home from school until this late afternoon, and made Sungmin’s worried like crazy. She was crying in the phone, trying her best to explained everything to Kyuhyun between her sobs. Apparently she already walked around the neighborhood like a lost person herself in the middle of the heavy rain. Kyuhyun was jumping from his seat literally and ran out of the restaurant, leaving the dumbstruck Seo Hyun and the restaurant bills behind. He thought he’ll make it up to Seo Hyun tomorrow, right now, Sungmin and then Amber was the most important thing on his mind.
“Amber! Amber!” He screamed around, searching high and low for a tomboy girl from Sungmin’s class. He really need to found her right now, otherwise Sungmin would be sad. He didn’t meet her yet, but based on her voice, he knew that her condition was not good at all.
After about fifteen minutes and Kyuhyun was standing near one of the bus stop with his black umbrella, his phone vibrated once again. “Sungmin-shii?” He asked worriedly.
“She’s here. In Henry’s house. His mother called Amber’s mother and apparently, the kids were playing together in Henry’s tree house after coming back from school. And when they want to go home, it’s suddenly raining cats and dogs. So they stayed until one of Henry’s mother’s maid found them.” Sungmin talked in a calmer voice, but it’s still sound weak in Kyuhyun’s ears. “I’m sorry I bothered you, Kyuhyun-shii.”
Kyuhyun smiled, “It’s okay, I’m glad they’re finally found. Anyway, where are you now?”
“On my way to Henry’s house. I promise to meet Amber’s mom there.”
“Okay, I’ll see you there.”
.....
Sungmin glanced worriedly to Kyuhyun, “You really didn’t have to do this. I’m afraid I’m already taking lots of your time.”
Kyuhyun laughed, “It’s okay. I’m already here, anyway.”
Sungmin pouted, “Yeah, but you really didn’t have to.” She looked so cute and Kyuhyun had a sudden urged to pinched his pink chubby cheek.
Both of them were walking home from Henry’s house. Henry’s and Amber’s mothers really happy and thanked them endlessly for their efforts of finding their children, although the kids were actually didn’t went missing. Sungmin looked so contented and relief beside him. She’s still looked pale, though.
They were walking side by side, and just then, Sungmin realized something. She stared at Kyuhyun’s outfit. The youngman looked a little bit neater than the usual. He wore a clean dark jeans, a black long sleeve shirt topped with a brown cloack, and a pair of black converse. “You looked so... um, different.” Sungmin suddenly said. “Were you having a date or something before I called?”
Kyuhyun smiled slightly, “No, just a dinner... with Seo Hyun-shii.” He answered halfheartedly.
“WHAT?” Sungmin almost screamed if only she didn’t lost her voice when she was calling for Amber a couple of hours ago. As a result, she only produce a cute and soft squeak.
“Have you eat dinner?” Kyuhyun suddenly asked, trying to changed the subject. He really didn’t want to talk about that at this moment. Sure, he felt guilty towards Seo Hyun and he promised he’ll do anything to made it up. But not now. He just want to walked beside Sungmin without worrying about anything. He put his right hand on his jacket’s pocket while his left hand was carrying his wet black umbrella that had been folded neatly. The rain has stopped right when they reached Henry’s house.
“WHAT?” Sungmin squeaked once again. This’s not good. Seo Hyun would kill her on Monday and this guy was asking whether she already had a dinner? But of course, she couldn’t told him that. She was frowning while chewed her pink lower lips cutely while poking the ground with her pink umbrella. “Hm, not yet.”
Kyuhyun gaped at the sight and he felt something was flying in his stomach, in a good mean of course, not like what he felt earlier in the cafe.
To be honest, Kyuhyun really like to walked beside Sungmin. Actually, not only walking, but he enjoyed her companion a lot. Sometimes, he even had a slight crazy idea in mind to made every moment stay longer.
Kyuhyun suddenly stopped and made Sungmin who was walking beside him stopped on her track too. “Let’s eat together.” Kyuhyun grinned widely, although he already had his dinner, he didn’t mind to had his second dinner.. with Sungmin. “If you really felt sorry because you took my time, then you should threat me.” He smirked handsomely. He swore he saw Sungmin’s cheeks blushed a little and it’s really looked good on her.
“What?” Sungmin’s clear brown eyes getting wider like a doll. “But you said you already had a dinner?”
Kyuhyun laughed, “Yeah, but I.. SUNGMIN!!!” and his laughter halted into a sudden scream when suddenly Sungmin fell in front of him.
.....
He stirred the pouridge on the pan once again before turning off the stove. He poured it into a bowl that he already prepared and took it with him. There are also a glass of water and aspirin on the same tray. He opened the bedroom carefully and found she was still sleeping soundly on the bed. He stepped into the bedroom as silent as he can and put down the tray on the bedside table. Checking out her temperature with his hand, he found out that it’s almost normal now, finally he let a relief sighed. He sat carefully on the chair next to the bed and wash the cloth with cold water before putting it on Sungmin’s forehead once again.
To be honest, he was scared to death when Sungmin suddenly fainted in front of him. He also found out that his hunch was right all along because when he catched her falling body, he can felt that her skin was burnt hotly against his skin. She was having a severe fever and yet she was running in the middle of the rain all day long.
He immediately took her to his home because he didn’t know where did Sungmin lived. He was having a plan to called Ryeowook to asked about her address before he went to her house, but now it’s a little bit troublesome to called her. He would have to explained everything to her and it would be too bothersome. It’s already late at night and he didn’t want to bother Ryeowook.
Or maybe, he just didn’t really like the idea of giving out the sick Sungmin to other’s care.
He looked at her pale face. A couple of brown strands hair were covering her cheeks, and he gently tugged it off to her side. His fingers lingered gently a little bit longer on her flawless milky white skin and Kyuhyun thought that Sungmin was so beautiful. Her usual clear brown foxy eyes were now hiding behind the pale lids, her pretty pink blossom cheeks were pale with a very little tint of pastel pink because of fever, her usual soft pink heart shaped lips... well.. it’s still looked kissable as usual.
Kissable.
How did it taste?
To kiss Sungmin’s pink lips?
He leaned down unconciously, as if the tempting lips was calling him to get nearer. He looked at it, the pretty object before him looked clearer by each second and each inches of his journey. His heart thumped crazily in a happy beat. He was this close to his destination and even his eyes almost fluttered closed when suddenly Sungmin moaned a little and Kyuhyun blinked. He shot his eyes wide open and sat straight immediately.
What the hell was that?
He looked at the still sleeping Sungmin and realized that he almost... kissing her. He blinked rapidly, he can’t believe in himself. He frowned and then rubbed his temple in frustration. He almost kissed his co-worker, his friend, and that was all because of the sinful pink lips of hers.
Actually, it’s not only pink. It’s soft (Kyuhyun knew cause he ‘accidentally’ brushed his fingers on it a couple of times when he was checking her temperature -cough-), smells like strawberry (Kyuhyun also ‘accidentally’ smelled it earlier and happened to like it too), chewy (because Sungmin likes to bite it when she was working), probably sweet too (for the same reason as chewy), tasted like strawberry (this’s only a hunch though, but he could always tried to prove it... by asking whether she used strawberry lipgloss or not, of course), and Kyuhyun’s favorite point of Sungmin’s lips was the shape of it. It was so pretty. So unique. It was an alphabet M in normal condition, a beautiful bow shape when she was smiling, a heart shape when it’s slightly open, and undescribable cute thing when she was pouting.
And now that she was sleeping with her lips slightly open, she was displaying her heart shaped lips to Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun’s heart was thumping fast like crazy once again and felt like it almost jumped out of his chest. He closed his eyes and shooked his head to getting rid of the crazy idea from his head.
He can’t believe it.
He must be crazy. How on earth he could think of something like tasting Sungmin’s lips when the owner was sleeping. It means he’ll attacked a harmless and defenseless person. No.. he can’t do that!
Kyuhyun took a couple of deep breath to calmed himself, but when he opened his eyes, he saw her glowing gorgeously from the perspiration and a dim light of his night lamp that complimented her beautiful face. The weirdest thing was, after running all day, she’s still smelled as sweet as strawberry and vanilla combined together. Her sweet scent was invading his air and mind and drove him crazy.
When his eyes landed once again on her pale lips, finally it success in kicking out his last restriction out of the window.
Her lips never been so tempting for him like now. It’s never been looked so delicious like now.
Kyuhyun gulped.
He finally surrendered.
He leaned down and closed his eyes...
...then he smiled when her lips met with his in silence.
