사랑의 Fortune- Chapter 18
It is three weeks later, and everyone has finally been released from the hospital, with Ryeowook being released earlier today. He was supposed to have been released a week ago, but he had fallen ill and his body had been unable to fight it off, resulting in him falling unconscious. Right now, Hyukjae and I are hanging out underneath a tree in the school grounds, it's lunch time. In a week or so, the doctor's said that I could get my cast off, and the stitches in my head are being removed tomorrow. Hyukkie's going to skip gym last period and come with me. Hyukjae kisses my lips before getting up, helping me stand as well. We've never really talked about our... couple-like actions, Hyukjae seems to just do it without thinking about it, and I don't want to bring it up in case he decides we should stop.
I limp into the school beside Hyukjae, passing Leeteuk and Kangin hyung, who were heading outside, Leeteuk's uniform only fitting him because he's borrowing Kangin's shirt, the bandages still showing bulkily underneath. Hyukjae's arm slips around my waist, pulling us closer together as we walk through the halls, Hyukjae obviously relishing his cast being off his arm. His stomach wound has healed enough that the stitches are off, but he still has to be careful about how he works his stomach muscles, or else the wound will open again. Someone else has taken over the dance classes,but once my cast is off, I'll be allowed to teach it again, so Hyukkie's helping me with the planning for next weeks session, which is Tuesday, the day after I get my cast off.
Hyukkie steers us into the locker room, where the majority of our class was getting changed for gym. I scrunch my eyebrows together in confusion as Hyukjae lets go of my waist, pointing at and empty spot on the bench, signaling for me to sit there. I do so, and watch as Hyukjae opens his locker, pulling something out from it. I pout when he slips it into his sweater pocket before I could see what it is. People were starting to clear out and our friends that could participate in gym activies starting to come in to change. I wave at Kangin hyung as he comes in and changes, struggling to get up and hug Leeteuk hyung, who was waiting for Kangin hyung to finish changing, being unable to participate because of his head injury and the torn ligaments in his right leg, which he was keeping the weight off of. After that Kyuhyun and Sungmin come in, both of them starting to change, finishing as Kibum comes in, looking for Changmin, who had just left for the gym.
"Almost everyones healed Hyukkie! Soon, we'll be good enough to go back to participating and teaching dance..." I say, watching Junsu as he takes his time changing, obviously not wanting to participate in the fitness test that's taking place today. Hyukjae chuckles, settling in behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist as we sit together on the bench, relishing the momentary semi-silence that is rarely seen around the group. Junsu and Jaejoong leave, waving goodbye to Hyukkie and I, Jaejoong saying that he'd tell Jikyo Seonsaengnim that we needed some rest time and that we'd be coming later. I nod my head in thanks and close my eyes as they leave, leaning my head against Hyuk's shoulder. My breathing slows with Hyuk's as we relax and I tilt my head, briefly kissing the side of his neck, grinning as I look up at him.
"Hae.... I have something for you...." Hyukjae says, kissing my temple briefly. I turn slightly, wondering what he could have gotten me, and why. It's not my birthday, that was three months ago, and christmas was last month. So that couldn't be why. Hyukkie removes his left arm from around my waist and shifted around behind me, accidently brushing his hand against my ass. I whip my head around when I hear him chuckle as I jump at the unexpected feeling, to see him smirking at me. Maybe it wasn't accidental then.
"What-" I start to scold him but get cut off by his lips finding mine. My eyes close and I press closer to him, turning more to become more comfortable, moving my casted leg with a practiced awkward grace. My hand grasps around his shirt and I pull away, smirking at him, before moving back in and biting his lips, causing him to open his mouth in surprise, allowing me to deepen the kiss.
This time he separates the kiss, smiling at me before saying, "Close your eyes." I pout but close my eyes anyways, deciding to be a good boy and listen to him...... just this once. Hyuk's lips brush briefly against mine again, before I feel him take my left hand from where it had fallen around his waist and open the hand, placing a square box in in. I open my eyes and look down at my hand, a smile appearing on my face when I see the small red box wrapped in a blue ribbon sitting in my open hand.
"Open it." Hyukjae urges, smiling encouragingly at me.
"You didn't need to get me anything Hyukkie.... It's not my birthday or anything....." I mutter, glancing into his eyes as I slowly open it, revealing a key ring, with a single key on it. I look at him, my eyebrows drawn together in confusion. He kisses me gently, smiling at me again.
"That's the key to my heart..... actually, it's a key to my house." Hyukjae says, hugging me as he laughs at his own cheesy line. I scoff at him, hugging him back anyways.
"You're so cheesy Hyuk." I reply, laughing slightly into his shirt. I feel his smile against my neck as he rests his head against it.
"You love me for it anyways Fishy." Hyukjae says quietly, not looking up from our intertwined position. I freeze briefly before relaxing again, a smile gracing my face as I think of what he just told me.
"Yes, I do..." I reply, feeling my face heat up slightly as they taint pink. I feel a gentle pressure on my neck as he kisses it, his lips still drawn apart slightly into a smile.
"Love you too Hae." Hyukjae mumbles into my neck. I smile and kiss the top of his head, running my hand up and down his back. We sit there for another minute or two before I stand up.
"Come on now, we're late enough, Jikyo Seonsaengnim is going to have our heads. Not like we can participate anyways..." I say, rolling my eyes before fishing out my phone as it starts vibrating. I flip it open to see that my mom had texted me. Which is weird, since she never texts me. Never. Didn't even know she knew how to.
'I need you to come straight home after school. No hanging with friends we have things to do.' She wrote, I frown at the message, before putting my phone away and smile and shake my head in reply to Hyukjae's questioning eyes, which were asking if anything is wrong. He smiles and nods before grabbing my hand and kissing my cheek.
"Come on then my Fish. We are needed in the gymnasium." Hyukjae says, smiling and pointing towards the gym, acting like the complete dork he is. I shake my head and laugh at him before walking into gym class with him.
I limp into the school beside Hyukjae, passing Leeteuk and Kangin hyung, who were heading outside, Leeteuk's uniform only fitting him because he's borrowing Kangin's shirt, the bandages still showing bulkily underneath.
