When I'm With You (BaeRi)
“Seung Ri!” Young Bae cried out, fighting back his laughter. “Seung Ri, you’re turning blue!”
Even with his squinted eyes, Seung Ri tried to glare at the older boy. His cheeks were hurting, not to mention his head.
“Ri, stop it!” Young Bae yelled, in a mix of laughter and concern.
The younger boy released his breath and gasped for air, and Young Bae was rolling and clutching his stomach.
“Hyung! Nothing’s funny!” Seung Ri pouted.
“I know, I know,” Young Bae told him, still chuckling. He wiped the corner of his eyes. “But you were hilarious with that face! Why were you holding your breath anyway?”
Seung Ri looked away nervously. “N-nothing, hyung. I just wanted to see how long I would last.”
“So how long was it?”
“Uhh… I don’t know, really.”
Young Bae stared at him, smiling as if the younger boy was crazy.
“What? You made me lose count! You started laughing…”
“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. Now go to sleep.” He stood up from the swivel chair and left the room.
Young Bae came back to Seung Ri’s room and found him lying still with his eyes closed. Smiling to himself, Young Bae turned back to the door. Before leaving, he looked at Seung Ri’s reflection from the mirror and watched him closely.
Seung Ri was peacefully sleeping, his face calm, and his body completely still-too still for Young Bae.
“Ri! Ri!” he said loudly and shook the boy awake. “Seung Ri, wake up!”
“W-what?” Seung Ri groaned and sat up on the bed. “Is it morning already?”
Young Bae sighed and plopped down on the floor. “No, it’s not, Ri. It’s not.”
“Why do you sound so happy about that? And why did you wake me up?” Seung Ri bawled.
“You were lying so still! I thought you weren’t breathing anymore! I thought you were dead!”
The younger boy looked at him and smiled weakly. “That’s only fair,” he murmured.
Young Bae looked up at him with wide eyes. “What are you talking about?”
Seung Ri chuckled. “It’s nothing, hyung.”
“What is it, Ri?” he pleaded like a child and crawled onto the bed, sitting beside him.
“I’m going to say this once and only once, hyung.”
Young Bae yawned, leaned on the headboard of Seung Ri’s bed, and closed his eyes. “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
Seung Ri kept silent and waited until Young Bae’s breathing was calm and slow. “There’s no point in breathing, when I’m with you.”
