---------------------------------
(Kibum's POV)
In no time, it's night. Donghae and Sungmin let me sleep on a cot in the room with them. I wake up with a backache.
I miss my bed. I miss my girlfriend. Those other guys are still sleep, right? Maybe I can cry now...
... No good. My eyes are too dry from lack of decent sleep.
Fuck. What kind of way to live is this?
A sudden knock on our doorway shocks me into sitting up. The knocker laughs at me in a low tone as he steps into the room, which makes me want to punch him in the nose. So I grab my eyeglasses off of a desk that I pulled up next to my cot, just so I can clearly see whether or not I can take him.
He's slim, tall, and has some sort of obnoxious sly look in his eye. Yeah. I think I can take him.
"Morning," he greets. "Sorry if I woke you up.."
It doesn't seem very genuine to me. But then, he didn't wake me up. Not that I'm about to correct the jerk....
.. Tch, what's wrong with me? I'd probably laugh too.. I'll blame it on lack of sleep.
"No, you dint." I didn't realize I wasn't awake enough to speak without slurring. I frown at myself and rub my head.
He just keeps smiling, "I'm Kyuhyun. You're Kibum, aren't you?"
I nod, afraid that if I open my mouth it will only lend to more idiotic mumbling. Funny, I spent last night entirely with Sungmin and Donghae, so I don't know how he knows who I am. I'm too tired to question him over it though. I guess a new anything, person especially, would be exciting enough news in this place. A lot of people probably know my name.
He points towards Sungmin's cot, nodding. "I'm just here for him. I'll leave you to wake up."
A little embarrassed, I just nod again, and pretend not to watch him when he steps over to Sungmin. For whatever reason, I'm curious as to what exactly he wants with someone who is.. asleep. If I wasn't so tired, I might have figured out sooner that it was to wake him up.
In the corner of my eye, I watch Kyuhyun gently shaking and mumbling at Sungmin. Something bothers me about it. They just look too.. I don't know. Gay, I guess.
It's kind of a relief when Sungmin opens his eyes and doesn't look happy to see Kyuhyun. They mumble back and forth and then Sungmin huffs and rolls out of his cot. Only then does he seem to notice I'm sitting up.
"Oh, Kibum. You sleep okay?"
"Fine." I lie. I don't want to whine over something stupid like an uncomfortable bed. I look enough like a wimp already.
"Ah, that's good." Sungmin nods, clearly tired. "I'll um.. catch up with you later." he waves his hand, and then he and Kyuhyun leave the room.
I'd have asked him where he was going, but I didn't want to come off as like.. clingy or something. Like I wasn't going to leave him and Donghae alone. I can make other friends.
At the same time, I'm happy that Donghae soons sits up in his bed, muttering "Good morning.."
"Hey.."
"Sungmin gone?"
"Uh.. yeah, he is."
Donghae nods, clearly having expected this. So I can't help but ask, ".. he went somewhere specific?"
"Yeah, um.. Today's Thursday. So, doctor day."
"Doctor day?"
"Sungmin has.. uh, anemia." Donghae mumbled as he stood up, ".. so he has to take medicine. He has to see a doctor every Thursday that makes sure he's healthy. I think it's to make sure he's actually taking the medicine and not like passing it around to prisoners."
Donghae's awfully open. Ask him a question and he gives you a nice long answer. That, I like. With that, I can talk less, which is good. Especially since it helps me avoid complaining.
He goes on, ".. He was late getting up last week though, so he asked me to wake him up if I was up first. I don't ever sleep good on these crappy mattresses. Uh, that and nightmares."
Nightmares. I have to smile. That's cute. Of course, it does make me doubt the friends I'm picking. I really have to aim to find some tougher ones, I think..
I decide against teasing him about the nightmares for now, just because I'm a bit curious about something else. "Kyuhyun woke him up."
"Huh." Donghae's face lights up, and I know immediately that there's some juice to the situation, but I don't even have to ask. Donghae goes right on explaining.. I like him a lot.
"They've been fighting, so I wouldn't have thought." he begins, "They came in here together, you know? So they used to be close." I want him to stop there, so I can ask about how and why they got here together. I'm still really curious about Sungmin's crime. But Donghae doesn't give me time.. I can tell he's really into this gossiping thing.
"I mean, not just close. Close close. Kissing close. You know what I mean."
"Gross.", I think. He seems to be looking for a reply from me, but I find what he said a bit too distracting to form one that isn't slightly offensive.
"Until Kyuhyun got kissing close with someone else. Some foreign guy.. anyway, Sungmin was pissed. Kyuhyun still bugs him all the time though. Especially about his health. I mean, Kyuhyun's not a terrible guy. He just fucked up. Hey, everyone here has done it in some way."
"True." I say, but I definitely don't think I'm a big fan of Kyuhyun. Then again, it's nothing he did that bothers me. He just rubs me the wrong way.
"Aghh, let's go get a shower, huh?" Donghae stretches his arms over his head, "The earlier we are, the less naked men are around."
Thank God I have Donghae.
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Kyuhyun's POV)
"The new boy looks nice." I suppose that what I'd like to say is more like 'you look nice', but I don't think Sungmin would be thrilled with that. Compliments shouldn't bother anyone, but Sungmin is unique after all. Or maybe nice words from someone who betrays you are hard to hear... .
"He is nice. Very witty. Probably wittier then you."
The airy way he said that makes it clear that he's trying to hurt my feelings. The problem with Sungmin is that he really is too much of a woman at times. "So you like him.."
"I like him a lot."
"Does he feel the same about you?"
Sungmin's cheeks become tinted with his favorite color, and I'm sure for a moment that he'll say "I don't like him that way.." but instead, he says "He seems to." before walking a little faster.
I just match his pace, "It's good that he isn't scared of you.."
He slows down, so I slow down, and I'm sure of what this means. "You didn't tell him what you did." I realize out loud.
Sungmin gives me a stern, narrow eyed expression - and he didn't have to say it, because I understood before he did. "Don't tell him."
"Silly." is my only reply.
"You don't have to walk with me, Kyuhyun." he huffs, picking his pace up again. "Go away."
I'm not too thickheaded to take a hint. I walk the other way.
