-Chapter 7-
“Hey, I see the ice cream shop over there!” I said, quickening my pace out of eagerness to get there. I think that Yunho had purposely parked the car far away from the store so that we had to walk. The romantic intent was there, but Mimi was wearing high heels so it was very unfortunate for her. If she decided to hate Yunho, I would understand.
“Jaejoong, wait a sec” Yunho said, catching up with me and putting a hand on my shoulder “Can you…stay with me for a while?” he said in a rather loud whisper, his face beautiful in the night light. It was slightly windy outside and the air was fresh and brisk. He and Jaebum then shared an understanding look before Jaebum took Mimi inside the ice cream shop first. Ah, I see. They’re probably giving Mimi and Jaebum some alone time now. Ooooooh~
Once the two lovebirds entered the ice cream shop, Yunho grabbed my wrist without a word and led me to… well, an unknown destination. Unknown for me that is. It would be a problem if it was unknown for him too ahahaha.
We walked for a minute or two before arriving to this isolated corner, dissimulated by a few bushes and trees. A perfect spot for murder, mind you. This means that if Yunho wanted to kill me now, it would only be too easy. It would even be plausible to say that he could get away with it. Then they could make a movie out of this event and call it “Muder behind the foliage”, based on a true story. Ahahaha, I would be famous. They’ll never even guess that the killer was someone murderously attractive ahahaha!
“Jaejoong” Yunho said, snapping me out of my craziness.
“Yea?” I said, looking at him, ready to burst out in laughter, but his serious expression kicked the humour right out of me. He put a hand on my shoulder.
“Listen. I know this might be hasty because even as friends, we’re only starting to know each other, but…”
Uh, is this going where I think it is?
“… I kind of like you and well…” he hesitated, “…would you consider dating me?” he said hopefully.
Right. As if I’m going to believe him.
“Oh yea, sure” I said as if I was totally serious, which had the intention of making it completely sarcastic. At my answer, Yunho flinched a little, looking at my face, surprised.
“Really?” he said, a gradual smile appearing on his face. I rolled my eyes.
“Oh yea, sure. Of course. No doubt” I said, still sarcastic as ever with a serious expression.
“You really mean it?!” he said with an exaggeratedly happy smile. Wow, I didn’t know that he was into dramatic plays like me and Mimi!
“Yeah! Totally, maybe we could frolic in the park sometimes and have some gay time together too!” I said and wink at him. He seemed to have found this a bit strange.
“Oh, okay… are you…?” Yunho said, his expression suddenly becoming confused. Maybe I went overboard?
“Crazy? Yeah… I am…” I admitted embarrassedly.
There was a pause where Yunho seemed to think hard about what to say.
“Jae… do you think that… I’m joking right now?” he said with slight annoyance in his voice.
“Um… are you serious about asking me if this is a joke?” I asked, a bit confused at my own question.
Maybe I should reformulate it.
“ I mean…are you joking about asking me if this is a joke or-“
Alright, this reformulation isn’t really helping. Yunho looked confused again.
“What…?” he said, but shook it off right away and took a step towards me, grabbing both my shoulders with a strong grip. This is the first time I’m seeing Yunho’s angry side and I have to admit, it is kind of hot. Well, not the anger, but the sexiness is hot. His temper still seemed but thermally average.
“Jae. I’m serious” he said lowering his head at my level “I want to go out with you” he said, staring into my eyes with a serious face, but child-like genuine eyes. Man, I wish my eyes were cameras so I could just take a picture of it right now. It’s so umph! But if my eyes were cameras then I would be a robot and being a robot seems kind of boring with all that lack of humanly functions. Ahahahaha, wait-
…
What did he just say?
“Um….” I said, embarrassedly having registered what he was saying a bit late “Do you mean…that you want to go out with me, but like… in the homosexual non-conventional to the Korean society way?” I asked and mentally smacked myself for making my sentence so long and precise.
Yunho flinched.
“…yes…that’s what I meant…” he said, his face showing tired exasperation now.
“oh…” I said, a bit embarrassed. I’m not usually this stupid, but I think I’ve been living outside of society and in my own world for a bit too long.
“…and I’m still waiting for an answer” Yunho said, nearing his face to mine. Fuck! Unexpected situation! Ahhhhh, my face is getting hot and I’m sure I look like a retarded raven haired tomato at this point.
Hihihi, raven haired- No! Now is not the time to imagine tomato hairstyles!
“I um… if I say yes, does it mean that we will be starting a relationship where we first have amorous tension between us while talking and then occasionally hold hands? And then we’d occasionally kiss and then cuddle with each other during activities such as watching movies and-“
Suddenly, before I knew it, my lips couldn’t utter words anymore. I have become muted! But then I realized that it was actually because Yunho had his lips tightly pressed against mine, his hand behind my head pushing us close together. Next thing I know he pulled away gently, slightly lingering on my lower lip as he did.
“You watch too many dramas. I want our relationship to start like this” he said seductively with a low breathy voice.
Wow… I just… wow….
I’m pretty sure that for the next few second I just gaped at him with my eyes opened like a fish and my lips slightly parted in shock.
“Do I have to kiss you again for you to wake up?” he asked, bringing his face close again. I think I would have said yes, except that I would end up being asphyxiated by forgetting how to breathe. Maybe that’s how he would murder me behind the foliage. With asphyxiating kisses…
“N-no…” I said and realized that Yunho had managed to stop my crazy train of thought for more than five seconds. Also, I was shaking like a clean shaven Chihuahua in a cold autumn day.
“So are you going to go out with me?” he said, coming even closer, making our noses touch.
By reflex, to make him stop coming closer, the word “yes” came out of my mouth before I even realized.
That made him smile and instead of giving me another kiss, his face brushed pass mine, our cheeks touching and gave me a warm hug.
“Sorry for scaring you” he said next to my ear “but, you’re really oblivious…and I really wanted you to realize that I like you before I lose this chance to a more assertive man” he said which for some reason, did comfort me even though he was somewhat pointing out my stupidity.
“Um… I don’t think anybody is after me” I said, feeling that Yunho was putting me a bit too high on a pedestal.
“That’s because most of them don’t know you yet. You’re very loveable, Jae” Yunho said. His hug was probably one of the most comfortable things since Jacuzzis. It’s so full and warm and you feel so protected with his arms wrapped around you.
“…T-thank you…” I said embarrassedly. I wasn’t really sure what else I could say. This is all so sudden. Does it mean that I’m his boyfriend now? Okay I need to ask about this because I really don’t know how it works.
“So… are we both supposed to be manly with each other? Or are you the girl in the relationship or the guy? Do I have to be more assertive too? And-“
“Just be yourself Jae. You’re doing fine so far and I like it” he said and gave me a squeeze. Wow, this guy is so crazy. It would take so much patience for a normal person to stand me… maybe Yunho is just needy right now. Maybe he just broke up? It can’t be that he likes me just so randomly!
Yunho pull away from the hug and then looked at me.
“On second though, I think that I’m definitely the man of the relationship” he said with a smirk and pinched my cheek.
Oooooookay. This sure is a sudden turn of events… why is life so spontaneous?
“Oh, and one last question” I asked curiously.
“Yes?”
“Do you have a commoner fetish?”
~ ~ ~
Back in the ice cream shop, Mimi and Jaebum seemed to be having the time of their lives, flirting with each other and such. I can’t believe the process of me and Yunho being together actually went faster than the JaeMi’s couple progression. This really makes me question about the stability of events in life.
“So, where did you two go?” Jaebum mused when we sat faced to the two lover birds. In a way, you could say that we were symmetrically sat, loverbird-wise that is.
“Ahahaha, nowhere” Yunho said, biting his tongue playfully as he said that. He then winked at me.
“What, did you guys go make out behind a bush or something?” Jaebum teased, which made Mimi giggle uncontrollably.
“Actually, that’s exactly what we did, how did you guess?” Yunho said almost too comfortably for my own taste. Mimi gasped at me in wide shock and a huge smile.
“Really?!” she said looking so shocked it was almost insulting. I mean, is it THAT unlikely that I make out with somebody behind a bush? Well it wasn’t a bush… Yunho is probably too tall to hide behind a bush, hihihi. Unless it were a MEGABUSH.
“Hahaha, you’re nasty Yunho” Jaebum said to his friend with a sly smile.
“Heyyyy, kissing me is not nasty!” I said jokingly even though I probably blushed a little bit saying that. Jaebum looked at me, a bit weirded out.
“Well, no. But making out with a dude is pretty nasty, if you know what I mean” Jaebum said with a little laugh.
“Uh… what?” I said, a bit shocked at how Jaebum could say something like that when he best buddy is gay. Oh well, maybe they have that kind of relationship where they have to insult each other all the time.
“No dude, “ Yunho said with a small chuckle “we actually made out” he said to Jaebum with a serious look. Jaebum looked around, a bit confused.
“…Are you joking, man?” he said, a bit creeped out. Mimi found all of this tension quite awkward as she slowly sunk back into her chair.
“No man, I like men too” Yunho said to Jaebum who’s eyes widened in shock. Woah, most sudden coming out of the century.
“W-What? Yo, I thought you were hanging around with Jaejoong so I could get his hot friend!” Jaebum yelled, which I didn’t really see the purpose of. I mean… it’s not like there is noise for him to scream over and why does being my friend have to be for such an exclusive purpose? Yunho could have totally multi-tasked and done it for himself and for Jaebum at the same time, win-win right? Mimi raised her eyebrows awkwardly at me and I shrugged at her.
“No, I honestly like Jaejoong and I liked him before you even met Mimi” Yunho said and pulled me closer to him by the waist. The seats were those couch seats so it was physically possible for him to pull me over. If we were sitting on chairs, I probably would have fallen on my face on the floor which would have been very ungraceful and would have ruined all the built up tension of this coming out conversation.
Jaebum also sunk back in his chair in shock. I don’t get why they do that. I mean Yunho is apparently bisexual, so what? It’s not like he’s not going to be able to bear Jaebum’s first grandson or something! Well even if Yunho suddenly became Jaebum’s son, he is still bisexual, so it’s still possible! In the worst case Jaebum could just hire a baby making rapist woman to create a baby! Mannnn, bisexuals must have the most boring coming outs ever… well except for Yunho; he’s got eeeeeeeeverything! Even the drama! Sigh, these kingkas.
“Um, you gonna be alright?” Mimi said to Jaebum, patting Jaebum’s shoulder, her tone a bit unimpressed.
“Man, I don’t see what’s the big deal about this. I thought it was pretty obvious when I met Jaejoong!” Yunho said.
“No man! It’s wasn’t, okay? I mean, if you’re gay-“
“Bi” Yunho corrected
“Fine, if you were bi, how come you never fell for me?” Jaebum asked sincerely.
Mimi and me exchanged a glance meaning: “Conceited muchhhh”. Yunho on the other hand, looked quite a bit uncomfortable with the question.
“I don’t know man, you- well… I guess you’re just not my type okay?” he said, probably not know what else to say.
“Whatttt? What do you mean not your type? Have you seen these?” Jaebum said, randomly flashing his hardcore six pack abs at Yunho. Mimi’s mouth formed an “O”, she was probably “oooh”ing in her head.
“Yes, Jaebum I have. But look, it’s not just the abs okay? Wait- why am I even discussing this with you? It’s ridiculous!” Yunho said with a grimace. A waitress passed and shamelessly ogled Jaebum’s abs and also did a mouth “o”. She had every right to though, Jaebum probably worked hard on those abs.
“No man, it’s just that. We’ve been friends for such a long time and-… I don’t know…” Jaebum said, looking very conflicted and such.
“So… do you wanna come out too or something?” Mimi said to him a bit sarcastically.
“What? No! I’m just-“
“Cause while we’re at it, we might as well all come out, ya know?” Mimi said a bit bitchily, though she had every right to. She had been sinking in her chair for far too long. It is no way for Jaebum to treat her lady like that.
“What? You’re lesbian?!” Jaebum said, totally not understanding Mimi’s sarcasm. The boy is lucky he’s got the body, otherwise…
“No I’m not, but with ALL OF YOU GAYING LIKE THIS I MIGHT AS WELL BE!” Mimi exclaimed at Jaebum. I knew though that she wasn’t actually angry. Sometimes she just likes to join in all the drama because, you know, it’s better than just watching right?
“I-I’m sorry…” Jaebum said, looking a little freaked out by Mimi’s sudden outburst.
“Well, that was um… fun…” I said; if Mimi joined in I should too no?
“…but can we order ice cream now?”
~ ~ ~
“Sorry for ruining tonight” Yunho said with a sheepish smile “I honestly knew that I liked you after I kept wanting to hang out with you and bought you stuff”
“Nah it’s okay, I deal well with dramas, I watch them all the time” I said smiling and probably looking as awkward as hell “wait- you bought me things?” I asked suddenly.
“Oh, you weren’t supposed to know that weren’t you…” he said, trying to look innocent and cute.
“Geez Yunho, you don’t need to buy me things! I’m not high maintenance at all!” I said, guessing that he probably had experience with rich kingka girls before. Yunho laughed.
“You think you can escape my presents?” Yunho teased, taking a step closer. For some reason, what he said summoned up the image of a present with legs running after me and made me laugh out loud.
“Well, hahahaha, yes, that is unless they have legs” I said and burst out laughing again. It took a minute for minute to register that but he also ended up laughing. Aww what a good sport.
“You’re so funny Jaejoong… and in a way that is so… so…”
“…unique?” I suggested, my first choice of word being “fucked up” but chose the milder version of it so that we wouldn’t have to go through the whole “you’re not fucked up!”-talk.
“For lack of better words, yes” he said and smiled at my Hollywood movie cheesy-wittiness.
“Well… it’s time for me to go home now so… um…” I said to Yunho awkwardly. So do I kiss him now? Or I give him a hug? Or maybe I should just poke him in the stomach and run away? No… that would make him think that I’m actually fucked up. Ah hell, I’ll just kiss him.
“Yeah… I suppose… let’s-“
And whoop! Before he could finish whatever he was going to say, I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him right there. So how long do these kisses usually last? I think it should be three seconds. Okay so, one, two-… oh man… he’s really good at this I- oh right! Counting! Three! Three goddamnit!
I pulled back and Yunho put me down. Woah, when did he lift me up in the first place? Oh no, is this early Alzheimer?!
“Yeah… sorry for that. I didn’t really know what a first kiss goodnight was supposed to be so, I apologize if it was too sudden” I said to Yunho, a bit embarrassed.
“Hahahaha, believe me, I really, really don’t mind” he said pulling his face closer to mine again, but I backed off.
“Nooooo, nooooo! No more for today! I need to go home before sunrise! Actually before midnight at least, my mom will freak!” I said, feeling very Cinderella-ish about my statement.
“Alright then” Yunho said with a chuckle “get in the car, I’ll take you home”
“Uh… but we already kissed goodnight…”
“Yeaaaa, but the first one really was a bit sudden, why don’t we try it again?” he said with a wink and put his arm around me.
