A/N: Okay, so this is my first fan fic ever! Comments are looove <3 I really need some feedback xD Hope you like it <3
"Morning hyung!"
Kibum turned around to be meeted by the innocent smile of his younger best friend, Taemin. "Ah morning Taeminnie" he said in a teasing voice.
"Hyung, I told you not to call me that!" Taemin whined, but Kibum couldn't help it. He loved teasing his adorable friend.
Taemin's facial expression then changed, and Kibum could see that he just realized something.
"Hey hyung, aren't you late for class today?"
"Yeah, I know" Kibum said, sounding like he didn't care. "But I had to go fix my hair in the bathroom. It's so freaking windy outside. It's ridiculous." Kibum pointed out the window of the hallway, and they both looked at the trees swaying in the wind, and the leaves swirling off the ground.
"Well, I better get going now, before the teacher will be too pissed, that I'm late." He takes off, running towards his classroom. He stops and turns around before he reaches the end of the hallway, and shouts with a smirk "See you at lunch Taeminnie!".

"Ugh, today's class was a pain in the ass!" Kibum said frustrated, sitting down besides Taemin and Minho in the cafeteria. Both of the boys looked a bit confused, and of course, they wanted to know what had happened, but knowing Kibum, he would tell them, even without them asking first.
"First up I was late, so I missed out on choosing a partner for our upcoming design project, and got paired up with Jessica."
"Wait Kibum, Jessica isn't that bad" Minho said in a serious voice. "I'm pretty sure she'll turn out to be nice, if you get to know her."
Kibum looked at Minho with the best 'you're kidding me right?' face that he could, and then continued. "Well, I don't care. One diva in each group is enough, plus I know she has a crush on me." Kibum said the last with slight disgust painted over his face. Minho now looked like he regretted ever saying it. If there was one thing he didn't want to, it was getting on Kibum's nerves, when he was in a bad mood. So he just decided to keep his mouth shot.
"And besides that" Kibum continued again "the project will be killing me. We have to do 5 whole outfits by the end of next week, our inspiration being the most cliché ever, 'innovation'. I mean, is that the best our teacher can come up with?"
Kibum took a sip of his water and thought to himself "Could this day get any worse?".
He looked up, only to realize that it could. His two friends was sitting at the other side of the table, flirting and cuddling.
"Yah! I'm right here you know?" Kibum said, trying to gain their attention, but failed. He let out a sigh thinking how lucky they were.
Minho gently ran his fingers over the bridgeTaemin's nose and chuckled as the latter let out a big smile. Kibum looked at them with jealousy written all over his face, but when he could see, that they slowly moved their faces together, he once again tried to cut in.
"Yah!" The shout from their friend surprised them both. They pulled a little away from each other, and looked at their friend in slight confusion.
"I told you, I'm right here!" Kibum said once again. "You know I don't mind the two of you being together, but could you please keep it down a notch, at least when I'm around? I don't need another thing reminding me of my relationship status."
Minho, obviously annoyed by being interrupted, then smirked and said "Why don't you just hook up with Jessica then?".
He then felt a light punch on his shoulder, as Kibum obviously wasn't pleased with Minho's answer, but he just grinned to himself and smiled at Kibum.

When the clock finally reached 4 PM, Kibum was out of the building faster than you could count the amount of fingers on one hand. He just needed to get away from the school, and find a place where he could relax.
He started walking his usual way home. He decided, that he would go grab a cup of coffe at his favorite café.
On his way to the café, he started thinking about the design project. He was playing with ideas in his head, and before he knew it, he already had the 5 outfits in his head. The truth is, that he was one of the best design students on the school, and the real reason for the project killing him, was the teamwork. He just worked better on his own.
Getting lost in his own thoughts, Kibum didn't realize, where he was going, and he ended up on a little street, where he had never been before.
Kibum looked around the area once again, deciding which shop to go to, to ask for directions, and ended up choosing the café. Before he had a chance to enter it though, he caught a glimpse og his own reflection a the window, and his jaw almost hit the ground in surprise.
He had completely forgotten how windy it was, and didn't even realize that it was messing up his perfect hair.
The parasol in front of the café had hit him right on his head, tipping over because of the wind.
Kibum held his hand at the place, where he was hit, and suddenly heard a worried voice behind him.
"ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" the voice shouted, and Kibum then felt a pair of hands grabbing his shoulders, and turning him around. Kibum was met by a pair of big mahogany puppy eyes, and was amazed by the handsome male, who owned those eyes.
He then shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of what he had jsut though, and said "What does it look like?" still holding his hand on his head, trying to surpress the growing pain.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" the other said, pulling Kibum along to the café.
"Jinki, can you get me a bag of ice?" the brown haired male said to the guy behind the counter, and a few moments later, Kibum felt a cold bag on his head.
Thanks" Kibum let out, as he enjoyed the cold feeling on top of his head. The other guy smiled at him.
Kibum stared at his beautiful eyes again, feeling his face heating up a little.
"So" Kibum said, trying to break the silence "Do you know the guy who owns this place?"
"Yeah, his name is Jonghyun" the other one said, with a grin plastered on his face. "He's a very nice guy! And he did a pretty nice job decorating this place, don't you think?"
Kibum looked around the place. He then looked back at the other guy, and nodded in agreement. "Actually did pretty good I must say. Please tell him that".
"Well, message received, thank you very much" the other then said, the grin on his face even bigger than before. Kibum could feel his cheeks getting red again, and looked away from the face on the other side of the table.
"I'm Jonghyun by the way" the male said now, and stuck out his hand in front of Kibum, chuckling as he saw Kibum's slightly red face.
"So you're Jonghyun? Well, you sure think highly of yourself" Kibum said. "I'm Kibum" he then said, smiled and shook Jonghyun's hand.
---
A few hours passed, and the two of them had been talking about almost everything. Kibum had learned, that Jonghyun was the owner of this café, alongside his best friend Jinki. Kibum also told Jonghyun about himself, and Jonghyun had listened carefully and fully interested, in what the younger boy had to say.
Jonghyun leaned his head on his right hand, and asked "So, is it fun being a design student?".
"Well, I guess it's okay. I'm pretty good at it, and I love fashion, so I thought I might give it a try."
"So I'm not the only one thinking highly of myself?" Jonghyun said, sticking his tongue out. Kibum laughed at his silly act.
"Hey Jonghyun" a voice called from behind the counter. "We're closing up now" Jonghyun then looked at the clock. It was 10 PM already.
"Oh, it's this late already?" Jonghyun said, sounding surprised. He then looked back at Kibum. "I'm sorry for making you stay here all day". Jonghyun gave Kibum an innocent smile, before he continued "but I really enjoyed talking to you."
Kibum felt the heat reaching his face, for what must've been the billionth time that day.
He then replied: "Well, I only stayed for the free coffee" teasing the older boy. "But I guess I should be going now"
Kibum stood up and headed for the door, before remembering, that he didn't know how he ended up at this street in the first place. He turned around, only to see that Jonghyun had followed him to the door.
"I thought I should walk you home. You dodn't know how you got here, right?"
Kibum then remembered, that he had told Jonghyun earlier and said "Well, if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't" Jonghyun said in a happy voice, and they started walking.
---
On the way to Kibum's place, Kibum noticed that Jonghyun was a bit shorter than him.
Kibum's gaze followed Jonghyun. He could see that Jonghyun had a toned body, under his clothes. Kibum felt a bit puzzled, because of all the emotions, that he had felt that day. He had never felt this way before.
Kibum felt his heart race a bit, when Jonghyun accidently bumped into Kibum, making his hand touch Kibum's waist.
"Oh, I'm sorry" he said embarrased, and pulled his hand back. He then scratched the back of his head, and looked at Kibum. "I was drifting off in my own thoughts"
Kibum looked down, still a bit surprised by the sudden encounter, but jut said "Don't sweat it".
They walked a bit more in silence, before Kibum broke it by saying "So this is it. Thanks for walking me home"
He turned around, about to walk to his door, but he felt Jonghyun's hand grabbing his wrist. "Wait" Jonghyun said "Can .. can I see you again?"
Kibum didn't turn around to face Jonghyun, if he did, he would expose the big smile plastered on his face. He got the smile off, turned around and said "Sure".
Jonghyun then gave a wide smile to Kibum and said "That sounds really good"
They said goodbye with the promise to meet again, and Kibum felt a bit puzzled, because of all the emotions, that he had experienced that day. He had honestly never felt this way before.
