Part One The next morning Jinki woke up with possibly one of the biggest smile on his face. For once, he was excited to go to class today. There was only one thing on Jinki’s mind. It was no other than the boy he met yesterday. Jinki felt like and idiot for the rest of the day. Well, a happy idiot that is. He couldn’t hold in his excitement. So as soon as he was finished with his classes he ran to the bus stop with Kibum’s scarf and gloves neatly placed inside a pink paper bag he managed to pick up just before class.

Jinki walked into the café with the same smile he had on this morning. Seeing that Kibum was oblivious to his presence, he decided to surprise him. He went up to Kibum and held up to pink bag to cover his face.
“Boo~” Kibum’s response was of course, calmer than what Jinki had imagined.
“Ah, a talking paper bag! What are the odds?” Thanks to the paper bag, Jinki missed the blush on Kibum’s cheek. “Well sir may I take your order?” Decided to test the water, Jinki answered,
“Can I have you?”
“I’m not on the menu. Sorry” Kibum answered followed by a laugh. He then held up a finger and ran to his friend, whispering something. Kibum quickly ran back to Jinki and asked Jinki to sit down. “I’m on my lunch break now, my friend would cover for me.” Then he flashed a smile, a smile that made Jinki all giddy and nervous and ridiculously happy. Just when Jinki opened his mouth to say something, a person burst through the door loudly, catching everyone’s attention.
“Kibum-ah~~~” That person went straight to Kibum and casually wrapped his arm around him. Jinki felt his heart sank. Of course he has a boyfriend. Can’t you see how gorgeous he is? He was forced to let out a smile when he felt the other’s questioning gaze on him.
“Jonghyun, this is Jinki. Jinki, Jonghyun.” Jonghyun’s eyes traveled up and down his body, making him feel a tad uncomfortable. Kibum n
noticed that and quickly added, “Don’t mind him he’s just stupid.” Jinki couldn’t anything as the boy sat down between them and refused to leave without Kibum.
-
For thirty minutes, Jonghyun did all the talking. He was blabbering about lunch and random strangers and how Kibum acts when he’s at home. Jinki only stared at them with a small smile and occasional nods. He wasn’t really listening anyway. Just the fact that the other got his arm around the one person he wanted so much, pretty much killed his spirit. God took pity on him then, Jonghyun’s phone started ringing and he excused himself, even though it was still followed with “Don’t be home too late Bummie!” At least he’s gone and he could have a decent conversation with Kibum
-
The rest of the evening wasn’t as good as what Jinki had hoped it would be. Thanks to Kim Jonghyun, he lost the gut to ask Kibum out. Let alone walking him home and kiss him. He had to settle for that awkward conversation after Jonghyun left. Kibum seemed to notice Jinki’s nervousness but Jinki brushed off Kibum’s affections with he has a boyfriend don’t think you’re special. And the evening went on like that.
-
It’s been five weeks since they first knew each other. They became very close, but never close enough that people would think they were a couple, all that because Jinki’s move is always timid and careful, as if there were some kind of a boundary between them. Of course, to Jinki the boundary was Jonghyun. He never asked Kibum though. He was scared that if he asked Kibum would be mad and leave him. So Jinki tried his best to like this relationship. Until that day.
It was a bright spring afternoon and the weather was just perfect, especially for ice cream. Kibum and Jinki were just walking around the neighborhood talking about melon scented shampoo and old family pets; there were no real topic. The whole afternoon Kibum had been looking at Jinki quite differently, like he was annoyed. Jinki realized it but decided to play dumb, thinking to himself ‘If he doesn’t want to tell me then I shouldn’t force him.’
“Are you ever going to ask me out?” Kibum stopped abruptly in front of the older boy, showing him his best pout. Kibum was definitely annoyed. All these times, he was under the impression that Jinki liked him, that Jinki wanted them to be more than friends but until this very second Jinki never asked him out, he even brushed off Kibum’s attempts to kiss him. Jinki let out a silent gasp as the question caught him off guard. Carefully, he replied,
“Would Jonghyun mind?” Kibum smirked and shrugged his shoulder, tossing his hair back a bit.
“He would. But who cares about him.” That surprised Jinki even more. He didn’t think Kibum would be a type of person that could easily hurt someone else, maybe he was wrong.
“Shouldn’t you? I mean you’re his boyfriend” Kibum froze. He couldn’t decide whether to talk or laugh first. He decided to talked,
“His what?” His laugh followed soon and the expression on Jinki’s face was priceless. “Oh, Jinki! Is that why you never asked me out?”
“Um…Yes…” He knew all along that he was smart by not ‘taking Kibum away from his boyfriend’ and not ‘destroying someone else’s relationship’ but the fact that Kibum was now laughing out loud because he said he was Jonghyun’s boyfriend made him feel stupid.
“You’re so adorable! Jonghyun is most definitely not my boyfriend!”
“Then why is he so-“
“Possessive? We’re brothers! Our parents passed away when we were kids, we only had each other back then so he’s very, very protective of me.” It took a second for Jinki to take it all in and process it inside his brain and soon he broke out into the widest grin Kibum had ever seen in the five weeks they’ve known each other.
“Really?”
“Yeah. Okay-come with me.” Kibum quickly grabbed his wrist and literally dragged him. He wasn’t familiar with the neighborhood so he decided to just stay quiet and followed Kibum. Five minutes later they were standing in front of a small two-storey house. When Kibum was busy with the keys, Jinki was busy processing the fact that he was at Kibum’s house. Kim Kibum’s house.
“KIM FUCKING JONGHYUN GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE.” The boy shouted as soon as he stepped into the house. A second later Jinki could hear someone’s footsteps on the stairs, revealing a sleepy yet slightly confused Jonghyun.
“What? I didn’t do anything!” Kibum came up to him and dragged him down by pinching his arm. Jinki wanted to laugh, but he thought it wasn’t really appropriate so he just stared.
"I told you, you always scare off my potential boyfriends! Jinki thought you were my “boyfriend” so he wasn’t going to ask me out like EVER. Do you want your brother to die a lonely virgin?!” Jonghyun stifled a laugh and made his way to a dumbstruck Jinki.
“You- you thought I was Kibum’s boyfriend?” And Jonghyun’s barrier broke. He laughed even harder than Kibum did.
“I feel stupid…”
“Oh man, I’m sorry Jinki.” Jonghyun said, catching his breath. “Seriously I’m not Kibum’s boyfriend. You’re free to ask him out, although you’re going to have one hell of a problem if you hurt him in any way.”
After all that awkwardness, mostly on Jinki’s part, they finally moved to Kibum’s bedroom, where Kibum forced him to get on the bed and cuddle with him.
“So can I be your boyfriend?” Jinki asked, slightly twirling the end of Kibum’s short hair.
“You still need to ask, Jinki?” Kibum inched up and planted a soft kiss on Jinki’s lips. But almost immediately pulled back and hid his face on Jinki’s chest. They spent hours like that, cuddling and stealing kisses until Jinki remembered something.
“Are you really a virgin, Kibum?”
“Shut up!”

Epilogue
Another month has passed since they became an ‘official’ couple. Right when the clock strikes twelve, Kibum heard a knock coming from the door. He sleepily dragged his feet to the door and opened it, only to find a small CD placed on the mat. He looked at the artwork and read the list of songs.
For you.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
Love in This Club - Usher
One Step At A Time - Jordin Sparks
Velvet - Fergie
Everything - Michael Buble
You I’m Thinking Of - Relish
Oh - Ciara

“That dork.” Kibum smiled.
That dork loved him.
And he loved him too.
