“Kibum? See me after this.” Ms Park said. Kibum sighed, knowing what awaited him. Without Kevin's help in going through the topics and questions again and again, it was just hard to understand anything. His grades were falling back to its original state, and the teachers were, obviously, unhappy.
“So, is Kevin slacking off or something? It's highly impossible, but I don't get why you are going back to failing.” Ms Park asked, being plainly concerned.
“I...don't like the study buddy thing.” Kibum tried reasoning lamely.
“You were showing amazing improvement.” Ms Park frowned, unable to comprehend.
Kibum sighed, and although his dislike for Kevin gradually disappeared, he said it as if it was still there. “Fine, I don't like Kevin.”
Ms Park looked shocked for a moment, before she nodded. “Okay, maybe he's a little too into books, which might scare you, but he's a nice kid in and out.”
Kibum shook his head. “That's not what I’m referring to, but I get what you are hinting at. You want me to go back and get him to help me.”
“Exactly.” Ms Park smiled brightly.
“But you're my teacher, why aren't you the one teaching me?” Kibum shot back, not wanting to face Kevin partly because he knows how awkward it probably would be, too.
Ms Park bit her lower lip in hesitation, eyes averting Kibum’s intense pair. “Kibum...I-I tried...”
Kibum swore, if someone could die of embarrassment, he would have at that moment.
-
Kibum stepped in and the first thing he heard was a cheer. “Kim Kibum, same age, gay, is here!”
His cool was immediately lost, and he glared at the person who said it, to find himself glaring at the infamous Alexander Lee Eusebio (Soohyun taught him a bit about this gossip guy).
Alexander gasped, and took shelter behind the closest person.
“Alexander, I'm kind of busy explaining what a past tense and a past particle is so can I hear your gossip later?” Kevin frowned as Alexander sandwiched himself between Kevin and another male classmate.
“Your scary student is here!” Alexander screeched.
“No, Soohyun's a perfect gentleman once you-” Kevin said as he turned to where Alexander was pointing at.
“I only have two student and I don't see neither of them here, Alexander.” Kevin spared Kibum another glance (he really couldn’t resist) before getting ready to turn back.
Kibum winced. Clenching his fists, he tried to will away the numbness in his heart. Why did it sting so much when he hears that fact?
“He's getting angry!” Alexander shakes Kevin this time, cowering in fear.
“Alexander? I frankly don't care.” Kevin tapped his fingers on the male classmate's table top in a quick rhythm to let him know he was getting annoyed.
“You've gotta save me!”
“Maybe I don't. You know what? I'm still pretty mindful that you read my notebook that stored information for my study buddies and told the world its content.” Kevin snapped, and the class whispered amongst themselves at the sudden anger.
Alexander and Kibum blinked at the same time. So it was Alexander?
“Kevin!” Alexander cried. “I'm sorry, it was horrible of me, but I can't help it...”
Kevin sighed, tone reverting to one with less bite. “It's okay, but I'm trying to teach YoonJong something over here so excuse me, all right?”
“Kibum-ssi...he...”
“He hasn't left?” Kevin raised an eyebrow but didn't look interested in getting a reply, his eyes on the question YoonJong quietly asked him.
“We need to talk.”
-
“Let me go! I'd report you to the teachers.” Kevin warned lamely, trying to wring his wrist out of Kibum’s grasp.
Kibum stopped in the middle of the corridor and sighed. “I think that will make my job easier but...”
Kevin stared at their feet as Kibum took slow steps forward. He saw his own smaller ones moving backwards, and they looked so synchronized it almost looked like a dance.
And then he felt the wall behind him.
“But what?” Kevin finally answered, persisting on looking at the floor, ignoring his heartbeat.
‘Is this the fault of the laws of gravity? Stupid gravity, take responsibility for making me fall in love. Or at least, make him feel the same way.’
“You said it was rude to not look at the other person when he is talking.” Kibum whispered.
Kevin shivered, he didn't dare to look at Kibum, but his voice was suddenly so gentle, so warm. No, Kevin doesn't trust himself to look at the other.
“I don't want to see your sickening face.”
It made the both of them wince, and let Kibum had one more reason to hate his face.
Kibum raised Kevin's head anyway, and the other focused his gaze on Kibum's ear. “I...I just wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry. Sorry that I misunderstood you, sorry that I kissed you.”
Kevin could sense that there was a lot more space between them than the last time they were together. Somehow, that made him disappointed.
“I don't think you'd talk to me only for this.” Kevin said coldly, although he really wanted it to be so. “What do you want?”
Kibum took in a deep breath. “I'm back to a mess without you, save me? Please?”
Kevin wondered if he should say yes or no, understanding what the question meant after thinking (no, Kibum definitely didn’t mean love). The smart choice would be to say yes so there will be more chances for them to be together, but Kevin wasn't sure if he was comfortable with it. It was the first time he has issues with his heart and he doesn't know what to do with it. And then there was a no, which is stupid because he's kissing his chance to university and finding the right person goodbye.
“I...”
Kevin bit his lips as he...
“Fine.”
Let his heart take over.
