The Packet
"What is this?!" Sungmin shrieked, eyeing carefully the packet in front of him. He had just read the letter which was attached to it, he hadn't checked the other content yet though. But knowing what was written in the letter, he didn't really want to look at the other things in the small box.
"Umma, I really love you - but did you get crazy or what?" he mumbled under his breath, taking the letter in his hands once again.
Sungmin-ah, honey, please try this kimono on and take me a photo of it. I know it's a weird request but just do so for your umma, ok? I got it from our neighbour a few days ago, she brought me it from her trip to Japan - but it's not my size. I think you would look really cute in it... just take one picture, ok? Just for me. I assure you that I won't show it to anyone! I just want to see my cute little boy in this lovely piece of clothing. It will look amazing on you.
"I'm a grown-up MAN, damnit! Umma, what are you thinking?! Always having so weird requests... That's only because she's treating me like a daughter that she never had! AISH!"
Sugmin let the letter fall onto his bed and kneeled down onto the floor, putting his head on the bedding. What should he do now? This was so ridiculous... Why did she need a photo of him in this anyway? She surely would show it to all her friends and they would all have a good laugh because of it. Yeah, she had written to him that she wouldn't - but he knew her too well, she simply couldn't resist feeding her friends with stuff like this...
The boy sighed and finally stood up, taking the parcel into his hands and opening the rest of it slowly. He saw a scrap of blue material showing up and took it out of the box cautiously. The kimono unfolded and revealed all of its charms - it indeed was very beautiful. In a dark, navy blue color, being a little lighter at the bottom. Decorated with lots of tiny flowers in grey, white and light blue. It had a white obi* attached, with a thin, black line in the middle.
Sungmin looked at the piece suspiciously and thought hard about what to do. If he wouldn't put it on, his mother would probably get disappointed and that was the last thing what he wanted to cause. And the kimono was way too splendid to waste it. What's more, he had dressed up in girly clothes in so many reality shows before, it wouldn't be harmful to do so once again... only once.
"Whatever. Just for you, umma" he muttered and started to undress. Fortunately, the kimono wasn't a traditional one or else he wouldn't be able to put it on without professional help. It was pretty much a kimono imitation, not a real one - but it still looked stunning.
The man was in the middle of fastening the obi, laughing hard about the absurdity of what he was doing, when the door slammed open and a person rushed into the room. Sungmin froze in his action and looked up. It was Kyuhyun.
"Kyuhyun-ah! Oh god, it's not what it looks like, I can assure you-"
The maknae widened his eyes and his mouth opened broadly enough to easily let a fly come in. He stared at his roommate in deep shock, while Sungmin started to energetically wave his hands and explain:
"My umma... She sent me it... I know it's weird... I don't know either... She wants a picture of me in it... It's not what you're thinking about, it's not!"
Kyuhyun finally shut his mouth and a slight smile appeared now on his face. He stepped closer to his friend and reached out a hand in his direction, touching the smooth material of the kimono. Sungmin didn't say a word more, he just quietly observed how Kyuhyun brushed his fingers over the clothing, feeling the soft fabric and drawing lines around the contours of the flowers.
The younger stopped doing his actions and lifted his head, looking Sungmin straight in the face. He saw the latter's cheeks getting rosy and noticed this shy look in his eyes. Kyuhyun's palm, which he touched earlier the material with, went up to Sungmin's face now, starting to gently stroke his skin with the fingertips. The silence remained, it didn't change - they both just stood there, looking each other into the eyes, while the maknae didn't stop caressing the elder's cheeks.
After a minute or two, Kyuhyun detached his hand from his friend's face and he patted him softly on the head.
"You're beautiful, Sungminnie. But I still like you in your manly appearance more." he whispered and corrected a strand of Sungmin's hair which accidentally fell into the latter's face. When he did so, the kimono-boy felt sudden shivers coming up his cheeks and blushed once again.
Kyuhyun stepped aside, grabbed something from his desk - which he apparently had come into the room for - and moved slowly towards the door to leave the room again. When he was just about to leave, he stopped for a moment and turned his head, adding:
"Take this photo for your mom and call me when you need help with taking this kimono off of you."
Sungmin felt his face getting even more red and Kyuhyun sent him an evil grin, closing the door behind him.
* an obi is a part of kimonos, it's a belt which is being tied around the waist :)
