Men of Mysteries

My Cup of Tea

Kibum logged out of his computer for the night, finally finished putting the last of his student's grade in the system. He lived alone and relatively he liked it. At the best of times he did, but he always liked to think it was because he was "too busy for relationships." At least that is what he told everyone that tried to hit on him. Girl or Guy, Kibum always shut them down. No particular reason why, he just felt like none of them were actually the right ones for him, causing him to shut them down in  a heartbeat without even thinking. "I'm so exhausted.." he whined to himself and looked at his two dogs, Comme des and Garçons as Garçons looked back at him with a slightly wondering expression. "Ya, what's that look for? You should be asleep you know." he said to him, only to receive a bark as a retort. He rolled his eyes, typical behavior he'd expect from him. Getting up from his chair, he went where his feet led him through his lonely and quiet apartment, to the kitchen and somehow pouring himself  a glass of wine. As he sipped it, he looked out the window, down at the beautiful view of Seoul; at all the pretty lights and the cars going by. As he stood there, looking from his huge glass window, Kibum put himself in thought. "There has to be someone .." he mumbled, taking another drink of his wine. Comme des came to his rescue, nuzzling his leg and Kibum smiled at him and moved down a little to pet him. His attention was back to the view again, and he continued his unfinished thought. "Out of all these people, there has to be someone out there for me. Someone that's just for me and knows it... "  he said to only his dogs' listening ears. He had to deal with feeling so miserable at times, especially when he saw other couples be so happy, so content and just connected. Kibum wanted that, he wanted to laugh with someone, connect, cuddle in his lover's arms. Little did he know, he would find someone, but not in the fairytale way he thought of. 

 

"So.. I wouldn't say Hana and me? I'd say Hana and I? " Kibum's student asked, slightly confused. Smiling, he nodded. "Correct, other than that, your paper was perfect. Hypercorrection takes a minute to work on, but it's still the beginning of the year and you have my support." Kibum beamed at his now happy student as they scribbled some personal advice on their paper and then the bell rang. "All right guys  see you tomorrow! Do NOT forget that your Essays on The Great Gatsby are due Friday!" he yelled over their shuffling noises of their chairs, papers and backpacks as they started to leave. "Thanks Key! You're the best!" One student said with joy as they ran off to their next class. Kibum was a little flattered, he was used to the compliments, even being called handsome by his female students as well, but sometimes, he'd forget and then get all flattered again. "I am pretty great aren't I?" he said to himself and giggled, erasing the board off and gathering his things. More grading and editing for 3rd period, his biggest class. He always did his grading and tutoring at the nearby cafe, so he could relax and not be in his lonely home for a while. After he gathered his grading materials, he pushed on his round, Harry Potter glasses (which he clearly didn't need, but his high school students liked them) and headed for the cafe. Once he was there, he sat his things at his normal spot and proceeded in line to get his drink. "Yes, I'll have my usual; small black iced coffee please~" he smiled, paying and then going to wait at the hand off plane for his beverage. As he waited, he looked at the door and almost thought he was dreaming when he saw the most handsome man walk in. Not just any man, he'd seen some pretty handsome men, but this was Lee Jinki. THE Lee Jinki. Vice Chairman Lee Jinki. The world seemed like it went in slow motion as Kibum watched him practically glide in line to order. He couldn't move and he was totally sure his cheeks were tinted as he stared. "Large Americano please, two extra shots of espresso, no room for cream." Kibum heard him order with that dominance and how he just knows what he wants. He was stuck as he gawked at the chairman and watched him take out his wallet. Louis Vuitton. he was definitely looking his type already. Before he knew it, Jinki stared in his direction and Kibum awkwardly looked away, trying to find something to be intrigued by. "Nice going Kibum.." he thought to himself. "Excuse me? Sir??" Kibum heard someone say and he snapped out of his thoughts, only to see Jinki holding his wallet. "You dropped this." Jinki said, giving him a soft smile. "Oh.. um. thank you.." Kibum responded, taking the wallet from him and bowing politely. God he'd never seen a man that looked as good as him and it was so hard for him to take his eyes away. That soft looking hair styled for work and his beautiful, yet powerful brown eyes.. and his lips were a totally different story, just like his broad upper body in that suit.. 'This guy is actually a meal with desserts..he looks so much better in person..'Kibum thought, just staring, not really aware he kind of looked like an idiot; but luckily their drinks had not been called out yet since the cafe was busy today. "Nice glasses~ are you near or farsighted?" Jinki asked, giving him a slightly curious look. For a second, he did not register it since he was practically hypnotized by him. "I um. well neither. I wear them for my students.." He replied, trying his best not to sound like a baffled schoolgirl. Jinki chuckled, seeing through the nervousness of the teacher and trying to ease the tension. "Right~ where do you teach? What subject?"  Jinki was interested and kind  of saw the teacher as mysterious with his dark black locks and fierce eyes. Kibum however was in shock. Was he the person? The one he was wishing for last night? Because if he was, God sent his angel for sure. "Seoul High School, I teach English ~~ in my spare time I teach potions !" he said with a wink, hoping he got the reference... but then he realized he probably looked like an idiot..again. But he was proven wrong when the Chairman erupted into laughter, causing Kibum to laugh too. "A potions teacher and English teacher? Double threat~ " Jinki said after he caught his breath, then he got serious and whispered "Don't worry, i'm not a muggle." Kibum almost felt all the heat in his body go to his cheeks and he swore his cheeks were blood red by now. "small black iced coffee!!" the barista called out, making Kibum jump. "Good, I ... i'm not either ~" he said with a slightly nervous laugh, not thinking he'd make it this far with him, but at the same time, he wasn't trying to come off too strong. "Well this wizard has papers to grade and stuff , it really was a honor to meet another fellow wizard ~" Kibum said as he took his drink and started to walk away. "Pleasure's all mine, English potions teacher ~" Jinki said to him as he started to walk away, almost making Kibum freeze in his tracks, but he looked back to the Chairman , giving a flirty wave and a wink. Jinki raised an eyebrow and almost missed his drink when it was called out. He was focused on how Kibum walked, so full of confidence, swagger and somewhat alluring at the same time.. the sway of those hips.. "Sir? Your Americano is ready~" the barista said when she got his attention from staring at  Kibum's behind. "Oh thank you ~ " Jinki said sincerly, taking his drink and leaving. Kibum watched from his seat as Jinki left, making instant eye contact with him when he was outside. "If he isn't the one, i'm never looking for a date again.." Kibum mumbled as he took a drink of his coffee and started to grade. Lee Jinki.. They actually had ..conversation and for once, Key didn't say "not interested" or "oh cool" His heart was still beating 1000 times per minute, remembering his cute and contagious laugh, that suit, and his Louis Vuitton...he couldn't even think of trying to grade now, all he could think of is Jinki.. would he see him again? Would they exchange numbers? Kibum sighed at the hopeless thought. The meeting was a mystery and just small chit chat.. A mystery for the both of them and that's all it would ever be in Kibum's mind.
