A/N: After fort eight years. Lol. Well, it's still corny and such. So... enjoy? XD *runs away*

"You know, Wookie. I don't see something wrong with Jongwoon-ssi tutoring you." Ryeowook find himself face-to-face with Sungmin, saying those words to him. Yes, in Sungmin's and other people's eyes, there's nothing wrong with Jongwoon tutoring him. First, Jongwoon is an honour student, and not to mention, the first one in his class. He's also strict when it comes to academics, so Sungmin's sure that the man could let Ryeowook focus on his studies. Second, Jongwoon's also a student, a year ahead from them. But it doesn't matter, as long as he could let Ryeowook understand certain things the boy needs to know. Lastly, Jongwoon is also a friend of Kyuhyun, much to Sungmin's delight for he is also sure that they could get along because Kyuhyun had once said that the man is a very good friend. "Kyuhyun also told me that he would help you, free. So, it means you don't have to pay for your tutorial fees, and you must be grateful for that."

Even though Sungmin assured him that everything would turn out fine, Ryeowook's still unsure if it really would.

After having a long time admiring the older man, Ryeowook decided to confess his feelings for him on a sunny afternoon, while Jongwoon is sitting on a bench located at the school grounds under a cherry blossom tree. Jongwoon is reading his favorite pocket book, while humming to the song playing on his ipod. The warm air brushes his brown hair, giving a better vision of his crescent-like eyes.

Ryeowook walked slowly towards him, his steps getting heavier, his heart beating thrice faster, his hands shaking. It took some mere seconds for Jongwoon to notice the younger man's presence. He looked up, and saw the other, looking at him with hopeful eyes. "Yes?" he said and smiled thinly. He rarely smiles, and those smiles are often showed just to his friends. But smiling a bit doesn't cause any harm, so he did.

Ryeowook fidgeted a bit, causing Jongwoon to raise his brows slightly. "Can... I uhm... Can I t-talk t-to y-you?" he stuttered, lacing and unlacing his long, slim fingers.

"Okay." Jongwoon responded and moved aside to give a space for Ryeowook to sit. "Please take a seat."

Ryeowook did what he was told, his racing heartbeat and trembling body didn't help him in earning the words he's supposed to say. It must be right, appropriate, and if ever possible, perfect. They stayed in silence for a couple of minutes, with Jongwoon staring at him straight in the eyes, waiting for him to start talking. With his eyes glued to his hands which were still lacing and unlacing because of the nervousness engulfing him, he started to talk.

"Jongwoon-ssi," he started, gulping as he says the other man's name. "I, uh... I..." unfortunately, he can't find the right words to say. He closed his eyes and his fists clenching tightly. He's afraid that Jongwoon would get mad at him, or the worse, leave him and yell at him because he kept on... stuttering. With this man staring at you with his brown orbs, it's impossible for you to say something right, or even breathe.

"You like me, don't you?" To his surprise, Jongwoon said those words straight to his face. Ryeowook's eyes snapped open, his cheeks tinted with a light shade of red. He nodded shyly, refusing to look at Jongwoon.

"Sorry, Ryeowook-ssi. Thank you. But, I'm not planning to accept anyone for now." Jongwoon said, making a move to stand, stretching his short arms. "You'll find someone better than me, I know that. Because I think you're a nice person." Jongwoon said before he bid Ryeowook goodbye, his lips twitching into a tiny smile.

Ryeowook was left there, sitting on that bench, his heart broken. And he didn't even have the chance to speak. Was he being too obvious, for Jongwoon to know that he likes the other man? Or, was he being so straight forward that he didn't even think of what would Jongwoon feel if he will confess to him while they barely know each other? Or the worse, maybe... Just maybe... Jongwoon doesn't like him?

That confession he made to Jongwoon was still fresh in his memory, even though that was already a year ago. And no one knew about it, even Sungmin, nor Kyuhyun. After that encounter, he didn't even dared talking to the other, or looking at him in the eyes. But he's still in love with Jongwoon. He knows that. Even if it hurts, Ryeowook would care less. And today, he found himself sitting on that bench with Sungmin, exactly the one he and Jongwoon sat on while he do his confession.

He's still not ready to talk to Jongwoon. And now, he would be tutoring him. Ryeowook's unsure if he could bear the awkwardness that would engulf them the moment he'll come face-to-face with Jongwoon after a year since he confessed. On that whole year, Ryeowook had kept in his mind that Jongwoon dislikes him. So he's afraid to face him ever again.

"Hyung, a friend needs your help." Jongwoon was reading his favourite pocket book, with his earphones stuck on his ears like he always does when his best friend, Kyuhyun approached him, saying that his friend needs his help. He looked up and took his book away, diverting his attention from the book to Kyuhyun.

"What help? And, who's this friend?" He asked, crossing his legs and fixing his black, thick rimmed specs.

"He needs to have tutorial sessions for Biology," Kyuhyun sat on the vacant chair beside his friend. "His name is Ryeowook, Kim Ryeowook."

Jongwoon recalled the memory. The day when he rejected the guy's confession. The guy who’s name is Ryeowook. He knows the younger, for he always sees him. In the library, in the cafeteria, in the school grounds with his friends he knew were Sungmin and of course, Kyuhyun.

"I'll help him," he said, a bit surprise with his own words. He agreed without a second thought, so he's just hoping that everything would be okay. He wasn't sure if Ryeowook would ever want to talk to him again after he rejected him. He felt bad for the guy, but he doesn't want to hurt him either, so he just chose to reject him. He hasn't gotten over a heart break yet, and if ever he'll enter a relationship again, he wants to give his whole heart to his lover.

"Really? Thank you, Hyung. I'll tell him that you agreed," Kyuhyun said as he flashed Jongwoon his childish smile. "Hyung, I'll go now, I still need to go to my English class with Sungmin. See you," Kyuhyun bid Jongwoon goodbye, walking towards the door.

"I told you not to forget calling Sungmin-ssi Hyung," Jongwoon reminded and Kyuhyun gave off a small laugh, sticking his tongue out.

Jongwoon has been observing Ryeowook. In silence. When they coincidentally meet in some places, he manages to steal some glances at the other man without him noticing it. Jongwoon's a bit secretive, maybe that's why. Or maybe because... Ryeowook didn't even spare him a glance after that confession. He doesn't know why, but after that day, he finds himself longing to see Ryeowook every day, stare at him, even if the man won't return those stares.

He doesn't know if he likes Ryeowook. But he kept on telling himself that he doesn't. He had also kept thinking that Ryeowook hated him, started to dislike him and all. So he refused to acknowledge his feelings.

Every time there's a chance, Jongwoon would stare at Ryeowook while the other man wasn't looking. And with that, he didn't fail to notice everything about him, even those small details. Like, the way Ryeowook loved biting his lips, or pouting. And he finds it cute. And when he does, Jongwoon can't help but to smile at himself.

He decided to help him because, there’s nothing wrong in helping, right? And, besides, he still wants to know more about Ryeowook. He still wants to see the smaller details, the smaller details that only a person near him could see.

TBC.
