Part 2 : The World of Silence Part 3 : Silently Blossoming
“Sungmin-sshi... H-hello again.” He stutter, standing up and bowing back, she only smile in response. “I’m sorry if i disturb you while working. I.. I just wanna make sure your work place..” He unnecessarily sigh, seems he can’t hide his nervousness? Hyukjae try hard to repress his laughter to see his bestfriend being like that in front of a girl. And Donghae giggles silently behind Sungmin.
Sungmin just shakes her head but avoid his eyes because she feel shy, so she look down instead. Kyuhyun give a look at Hyukjae, and thank God he’s clever enough to get what it means. Too clever though, because...
“Okay, i won’t be long here. I still have some works to do. Oh, by the way, I’m Lee Hyukjae, Kyuhyun’s friend. Yes, friend?” Hyukjae glance and raise his eyebrows to Kyuhyun. “Yeah..” Kyuhyun replies lazily.
Sungmin bows at him, then... “And who is this cutie?” Hyukjae tilts his head to see the girl behind Sungmin. Donghae widens her eyes, blushing madly.
“I.. I am Lee Donghae, Sungmin’s friend and working here too.” She says shyly at handsome guy who asked her name. She screams in her mind like a fangirl. His friend is even more handsome, kya! I might be fainting in minutes. Help me, please...
“Hi, Donghae! Oh, i got an idea. I think i change my mind. I’ll stay here for lunch then. Can you pick me a spot better than here, Donghae?” Yeah, nice excuse you got, Hyukjae. He doesn’t even give her a chance to answer. But he drags her instead, leaving the awkward couple alone.
“H-hi... how are you?” Kyuhyun starts, recieving another silent treatment. Sungmin slowly takes a sit in front of him, pulling out her usual note and pen.
Hi, i’m fine, thank you. How about you? How did you find my work place?
Kyuhyun read it with a visible smile on his face. I’m fine, too. How did i find your work place? Actually it wasn’t that hard to find it. This restaurant is quite well-known. By the way, I’m sorry for interupting your job.
Na-ah, it’s fine. I can leave them for awhile. By the way, what can i serve you for lunch?
I don’t know... You can give me anything. Well, i wanna taste your cook.
Sungmin smiles while reading it, she can’t help but blush. Wait for a minute then, i’ll bring our main menu here.
Kyuhyun nods and make a sign with his hands, thank you. Sungmin nods back, he still remember how to make a ‘thank you’ gesture. Kyuhyun watches her figure until she’s out of sight.
~~~~~
Sungmin is there, accompanying him while he’s eating. Sungmin watch him eating with a slight nervous. Is it good? I’m afraid you wouldn’t like it.
She passes the note to him. He smiles reassuringly at her, then put his thumb up. He doesn’t know why, but being near her gives him a feeling that he doesn’t want to speak. He seems wanting to keep the peaceful and warm silence between them.
Sungmin can feel that other employees are gazing at them in envious. But she stays calm. They probably know who is the guy she serve, and it makes them feel jealous but at the same time admiring the scene.
Kyuhyun-sshi, i have to leave. The cake is waiting for me. I’m sorry.
Kyuhyun looks up at her with a slight disappointment. But then he shakes his head and smile understandingly. “It’s fine, i’m okay. Thanks for accompanying me, and i am sorry for disturbing you.”
Sungmin mouth “Anniyo..” and wave her hand in disagreement. She writes and pass the note to him again. I am happy to see you here. Hope you can come back again next time. Thank you.
Kyuhyun makes a thank-you gesture again. Sungmin gives him the last bow and take her leave. But when she turn around, “Sungmin-sshi...”. Kyuhyun calls her hesitantly, not sure about what he’s going to ask. He receives a silent ‘Yes?’ from her, kind of strucked by her adorable round eyes when she does it.
“Ehhh.. what time do you finish working?” They both smile shyly to each other.
~~~~~
“Aigoo... i see my besties is being weird for the first time. I’m happy to see you finally like this, dude! Oh well, she’s so pretty.” Hyukjae adds the last sentence in whisper, teasing him like there’s no tomorrow.
Kyuhyun stays calm because if he shows his annoyance, he would receive another round of teasing. He tidies up some papers to their respective places, ready to go home later than usual. Well, he usually go home at 6 pm, but today is special, because he’s going to pick a certain someone. He’s grinning on his head.
“Can i join you?” Hyukjae asks, full of hope.
“No.” Kyuhyun answers plainly, seems so ignorant and mean, even though it’s his own best friend. But yeah, it’s Kyuhyun. Hyukjae knows him so well.
“Ah, nevermind. I’m going to see her again tomorrow.” Hyukjae grins and giggles to himself, imagining the cute girl he met this afternoon, named Donghae.
“Don’t ever try to follow me.” Kyuhyun point out his finger on his besties.
“Tch, calm down, dude. As if i couldn’t go by myself. Fine, i’m leaving.” He stands up then toss Kyuhyun’s shoulder with his fist brotherly, “Good luck, Kyu!” He smile supportingly, never feel offended by his own bestfriend.
“Thanks.” He finally says the right word, smiling.
~~~~~
Kyuhyun enters Le Pastries nervously but sure. The sound of piano welcomes him. He takes a seat near window while listening to the piano playing. It’s already quite empty there. Only one couple and a guy with laptop there. Then soon, a waiter approach him.
“Good evening, Sir. Here’s the menu.” And he stays there waiting for what Kyuhyun will order.
“Errrmm, actually i’m waiting for Sungmin-sshi... Can you tell her that i have arrived?” The waiter’s face turns bright, as if he understand the situation.
“Ahhh, yes... I will tell her, Sir. Excuse me.” He bows and leave. Kyuhyun watches him as he approaches the piano in the middle of the restaurant. And Kyuhyun’s jaw drop as he see Sungmin get into his view from behind the piano. She was the one who played it?
Kyuhyun still stare at her in awe when Sungmin finally approach him. She already change to casual clothes, smiling, and it makes her shining like a star at night sky. Kyuhyun gulps before he slightly bows at her.
“You... can play piano? I’m surprised, your play was good.”
Thank you. She gesture him. And she points to the piano. Kyuhyun gives her a confused look, but he try to figure out what she’s going to say. “You mean.. can i play piano?” Sungmin nods in enthusiasm. “Oh, I... yeah, i can play it a little, but not really good.”
Sungmin fish out her phone from her pocket and type something, then she show it to him with a smile. We must try to play together later. Kyuhyun let out a small laugh, “As i said before, i’m not really good at it. But yeah, we can try later.” They only share smiles.
Are you going to have dinner first, here?
“Hmmm, i don’t think so.. Actually, i want to ask you to another place, maybe a coffee shop? But, it’s if you don’t mind.” He smile sheepishly and look away. He doesn’t know where those words came from.
Sungmin bites her lower lip and nod, mouthing “Okay, i don’t mind. Wait a minute.” Kyuhyun smiles to himself as she leave the room to get her things in the locker.
~~~~~
They simply have a silence semi-dinner in a coffee shop, owned by a chubby guy named Shin Donghee, one of Kyuhyun’s friends. Since she doesn’t bring her note, she only use her phone to pass her message. It feels awkward at first because they are in a public place. She feels sorry to be some kind of burden to Kyuhyun even though he never feel like that.
I’m sorry, Kyuhyun-sshi...
“Why sorry?” he chuckles.
It’s like you’re talking to yourself. She frowns.
He stares at her for awhile, trying to figure out why she feels like that. He knows he needs to understand her position. Being a mute is never easy, moreover when she’s in public place. Of course, it’s fine when she’s only with her colleagues in the restaurant, not to mention the only thing she needs is her skill in baking, not her voice.
“It’s okay.. don’t apologize and don’t mind other people, neh?” He gives her a reassuring smile, rubbing her back awkwardly. Then he takes out his phone instead, and type. I will not talk, i will use this phone, so we are equal.
They share another smile again, and Sungmin can’t hide her flushed face which make Kyuhyun want to taste that pinkish cheeks.
They are not talking a lot, simply talking about daily life, and getting to know each other.
~~~~~
It’s already 10 pm, and now they are on Kyuhyun’s car to go home. Sungmin smiles to her phone’s monitor, Kyuhyun can’t help but feel curious.
“Sungmin... ehh i can call you Sungmin, right?” She gives him ‘of course’ nod and mouth ‘why?’.
“Why are you smiling to your phone? Sorry to ask something like this.” She shakes her head and smile, then show her phone to him. It’s the picture of little Jino smiling cutely and brightly. He smiles in understanding, kind of feel relieve that he doesn’t even know why.
“Do you miss him so much?” Of course, she misses him, Kyuhyun pabo. Duh. He said to himself.
She smiles and looks away outside the window as if tell him that of course she missed her little Jino. Over a minute they stay silent until Sungmin type something again on her phone. Kyuhyun have to stop his car for awhile so he can read the message clearly.
He has been with me since he was a baby. He was so tiny back then when we found him at front door, cold.. but still looked so peaceful and innocent. How could a mother waste her own blood?
Kyuhyun gives her a sympathetic look when he’s done reading. But then he smile, “But now he has you. You are like his own mother, because you love and care for him so much. And he still has Leeteuk-umma... and me.” He touches her shoulder to signal her that she souldn’t be so worried about this.
“We should continue, it’s pretty late now that i should quickly take you home.” He small laugh to brighten up the atmosphere. She finally smile and gesture him to continue.
~~~~~
“So.. this is your house? Wow, i thought you live in an apartement. This looks so comfortable from outside.” She only nods enthusiastically, giving a sign that it is indeed comfortable. Her house is in a quiet complex and it’s only a small type, but looks so fine and simple, just like the owner. Somehow it gives him a sense of ‘very Sungmin’.
Wanna come in and take a look? She typed again.
“Nah, as much as i want to look inside, i know it’s already late that we need to get rest. Later okay?” Kyuhyun add the last sentence when he sees she’s pouting. How adorable this girl is.
Kyuhyun bid goodbye as she’s already in the front door.
This has been the best day of my life after the day i met her. But what is this feeling? He just smiles to himself as he drive off.
And he can barely sleep that night.
