"I am just curious okay? If you dont want to tell me its fine." Jinyoung pout

"Sorry. sorry. I just love to tease you. Love huh? For me maybe because the way Jae oppa keep on making an effort to speak with me? You know how Jae oppa is a quite shy right?Then he try to make me laugh with his corny jokes and then suddenly I realize I always have some times in a day that I spent with him.You know how important my study is so when I dont mind having my spare time with Jae oppa I think that time I already like him. But that is only a like I am pretty sure when I love Jae oppa when he come to our house and introduce himself to our parents and told them his intention to date with me. At that time I am pretty sure he is the one for me and even after our parent give their long speech that is not the right time and he still wanted to go through it.....Yeah, I know I love him." Jinjoo said while smiling.

"You always have this serene smile whenever you talk about Jae hyung." Jinyoung

"Really?" Jinjoo

"If i told you that the one that i will tell you later is about a guy?" Jinyoung said while hiding his face between his knee

"Jinyoung. It totally fine. You know how our family is. We have 2 gays uncle who happily marred with their partner." Jinjoo said while patting Jinyoung head

"Yeah, but what if eomma and appa dissapprove?" Jinyoung

"Nah dont worry. I think they know when you say no to our old neighbour daughter asking for a date. They always had that inkling you know. Do you really forget that our eomma the one who support our gay uncle first? I am pretty sure they dont mind as long as you are happy." Jinjoo

Jaebeom just watching the movie about a gay couple when his mom come back home.

"Jaebeom, I always tell you I dont really like you watch this kind of movie. Its not good okay. This story will clouded your brain with an all the bad things." Mom

"I  promise mom I never be like that." Jaebeom

"You now know that I dont like this kind of things? Why dont you just become like a normal teenager. Like Yugyeom your friend. Her mother told me he already have a bunch of friend and also has his dream.Why cant you stop playing game or reading comics? I thought you will grow out of it but then I see how you still playing and reading like you dont have any other things you can do. You need to grow up Jaebeom. I am so tired. I need to work and work and support your grandparents and also your grandma and you. You dont know how I feel when I come back home and seeing my only son watch some gay movie?" Mom

Jaebeom mom keep nagging and shouting at him. His mom is not always like this. She was a loving mother but she gradually change.Lately because the stress from the work and a few other things his mom changes. But Jaebeom is always grateful to his mom. Even when his mom always beat him up everytime she come back home drunk and the next morning his mom always ask for his forgiveness and promise not to do it again but now even when she is not drunk she always throws her temper at Jaebeom. It was funny at first, Jaebeom is glad when his drunkard father who alwas beat him and his father had died and hoping for a better future for both of them but now the future slowly look like his past. The reason why he always always dont want people to give attention is he dont want people to see his wound and asking where he got it. Even Yugyeom dont know about it but Jaebeom suspect that Yugyeom knows because the way his mom treat Yugyeom is also different. She is not the lovely aunt anymore.

Jaebeom let out a sigh then turn off the television.

"That is my son. Now help me cook dinner will you? I am so tired." Mom

Jaebeom just cook dinner quietly.

Then they eat the dinner quietly.

Jaebeom clean the table and washes the dishes.

Quietly.

 

 

Jaebeom look at the mirror before he went to the school. His bang already become so long that it almost touches the nose. He pick up the scissor and cut it but unfortunately when he wanted to cut the bangs his phone rangs and he cut the bangs more that he intended to. He curses and look at the caller. It was Yugyeom. He ignore the call and silent his phone.

He look at the mirror again.

Shoot

The bangs look uneven and if even the bangs he needs to cut a lot of his bangs. 

Jaebeom take a deep sigh and just cut the bangs so its look even. Now he almost lost half of the bangs that cover his eyes. He decided to just it. He style his hair a lil bit and just went out.

 

Jinyoung and Mark just finished taking their book from the locker and wanted to go to their classroom when they heard the commotion.

"What is that?" Mark

"I dont know." Jinyoung

They take a look at a groups of girls that crowded the locker across them and there is Jaebeom with a weary expression.

Jinyoung can hear the girls ask Jaebeom name and class and say how handsome he look. Then Jinyoung realize. Jaebeom hair is different now. His bang is shorter but it totally change his look. Now they can easily see Jaebeom face that has hidden between his bangs before this.

"Excuse me? Why are you girls here? Scram now the class will start soon." Jinyoung

They all hear the whining from the girls but eventually all of the girls went their respective way.

"Gosh Jaebeom, you just get a haircut but its look like its attracted a lot of the girls attention." Mark

", this is all Yugyeom fault." Jaebeom curses

While Mark keep a light conversation with Jaebeom, Jinyoung is focusing his attention towards Jaebeom. He can clearly saw Jaebeom face and its not an exaggaration if Jinyoung said it was the first time he meet a beautiful guy. I mean Mark is pretty but Mark look pretty with a little feminine look but Jaebeom, Jaebeom look so beautiful as a man, He actually has a clear ceramic white skin and his eye mole really stand out without the bang. Then Jinyoung eyes wonder to Jaebeom's lips. 

Suddenly he cant hear anything. It was static but he can see how Jaebeom lips move when he talk and Jinyoung has the urge to touch Jaebeom lips.

"Jinyoung!" Mark

Jinyoung flinched a little and look at Mark with questioning face.

"What?" Jinyoung

"What what? What are you doing?" Mark said while looking simultaneously at Jinyoung and Jaebeom

Jinyoung then look at Jaebeom and how he look frighten then he realize his own hands is a few inches away from Jaebeom lips. Its only took a one little move and his hand will touches Jaebeom's lips.

"Excuse me." Jaebeom said then walk away.

"Dude! What are you doing?" Mark

"I dont. I dont realize it. Swear!." Jinyoung

"God, Jinyoung. I know Jaebeom look extra pretty today but please calm yourself and keep it in control. Poor Jaebeom. He was totally shocked with what had happen." Mark

"Stop it." Jinyoung

"What?" Mark

"Saying Jaebeom is pretty." Jinyoung

"Gosh, stop being possesive. You know people would die if your gaze could kill people. Stop looking at other people like you want to murder them. Especially me." Mark

"What are you talking about?" Jinyoung

"Jinyoung, I know you has a little crush on Jaebeom. I can see it heck I thing some people can see it. Only you the one who keep brushing it off. Why? Are you afraid of something?" Mark

"No I dont." Jinyoung

"There you go, you deny it again." Mark

"No I dont have little crush at Jaebeom. I like him." Jinyoung

"What? Are you serious?"  Mark

"Yes." Jinyoung said seriously.

"Okay, stop we need to hold this conversation elsewhere. Its not a great idea to talk this topic at the school." Mark

Jinyoung just nods.

 

Meanwhile, Jaebeom is running away to the toilets.

 He totally shocked when Jinyoung suddenly move his hand to touch his lips and the eyes.

Why does Jinyoung's eye look like that?

Why does his heart cant keep calm?

Why does his face suddenly feel hot?

Jaebeom look at the mirror and he can see his flushed face. He turn on the tap and rinse his face. This cant do. He need to cover his head but the school rules is they cant wear anything to cover their heads at the school. Jaebeom try to cover his forehead with the hair but its a failure. His bang is so short he cant do anything about it. Jaebeom sigh then ready himself and went to his classroom.

 

"Whoah! Handsome face." Yugyeom

"Shut it." Jaebeom

"I dont why you always cover your beautiful face Jaebeom." Yugyeom

"Dont even start." Jaebeom

"No wonder you hide your face you are worried people know how handsome you are?" Shin (one of their classmate)

"Stop it Shin." Yugyeom

Jaebeom feel a little touch when Yugyeom defence him.

"Only me can , no one can!" Yugyeom said while headlocking Jaebeom.

"Urgh I should never feel touch when its come from you." Jaebeom

 

After the school ended.

"Lets go to the cafe near bookstore. We can talk there." Mark

"Okay," Jinyoung

They went there and just waiting in the line and when its their turn they heard a gasp.

"You want pineapple juice right?" Sunmi

"Huh?" Mark

"I mean your friend want pineapple juice?" Sunmi

"Me? Ah yes. How do you know?" Jinyoung

"Well its not always for people to buy 7 bigs cup of pineapple juice." Sunmi

Jinyoung gigle

"So one big cups of pineapple juice and you sir?" Sunmi

'Could I have cold Ameriano please with a shot of I mean 2 shots of syrup please." Mark

"Okay, coming right away. Please wait for a while and get your drink when your number is up." Sunmi

"Thank you." Mark and Jinyoung said and then went to sit at the corner of the cafe a little privacy from other table.

"So what actually happen?" Mark

Jinyoung told Mark about when Jaebeom is absent from the school how he keep thinking about Jaebeom and feels a little weird because he dont really know why he has Jaebeom inside his mind. He also told he feels after watching the movie and his conversation with his sister and all the other things that he dont know and keep happening to him such as he keep dreaming holding the hand of some man and the dream keep  coming until he can see the face of the man and suprise suprise, it was Lim Jaebeom.

Mark just keep listening to Jinyoung's worries silently and just get uo to get their drinks then continue to listen to Jinyoung's words. Mark feels a little bit touch when Jinyoung decided that he trusted Mark so much and he willing to tell Mark his worries.

"Jinyoung, I think you do have feeling towards Jaebeom." Mark

"That I know Mark. The thing is I dont know either I appreciate this knowledge or I am appalled by it. I mean I had the inkling that i attracted to Jaebeom but I dont know if I should end this little crush or just go with it." Jinyoung

"Little crush? By the way you told me its not a crush Jinyoung. You have feeling towards Jaebeom and why you want to end it? Just keep try and pursue Jaebeom." Mark

"Seriously Mark? You ask me to pursue a straight guy?" Jinyoung

"How do you know he is straight?" Mark

"And how do you know he is gay?" Jinyoung

"That is the point. We dont know anything and we cant assume what Jaebeom uality is. But you need to know his best friend is a gay who couple with Bambam." Mark

"The tall guy? Really? How do you know it?" Jinyoung

"Well I found them eating each other faces at the back of the old building."Mark

"But they dont look like it I mean, we saw them together right? They look like a normal friend." Jinyoung

"Yeah because our community is harsh toward gay people so they need to hide it so yeah we need to ask Jaebeom and not assumine anything about it." Mark

When Mark finished talking they can hear the ding from the bell and also hear a loud laughter from Bambam.

"Sunmi noona!! We are here to get Jaebeom his melon milkshake before he get groggy." Bambam

"Shut up Bambam, you cant just shout it out loud okay!." Jaebeom

"Hi noona." Jaebeom

"Jaebeom ah and his two tall friend who I rarely meet but know they are the reason that Jaebeom become groggy." Sunmi

"Noona? I feel so appreciated," Yugyeom

"Stop it." Jaebeom

"Okay one melon milkshake and what can I get for both of you?" Sunmi

"Ice choco for this giant and also a black coffee with brown sugar for the one with loud voice." Jaebeom

"Aww Jaebeom, you know my favourite drink." Bambam

"Of course I do. Yugyeom always forced me to buy one when he try to court you. You know?" Jaebeom

"Okay guys take away right? Please wait a while and Jaebeom yours is on the house okay?" Sunmi

"Noona, you need to stop this. I can afford to buy my own drinks." Jaebeom

"Well yesterday shouting beg to differ." Sunmi

"You heard huh?" Jaebeom

"Dont worry about it. I love spoiling you." Sunmi

"Thank you noona." Jaebeom

Luckily the three of them keep waiting at the counter area and did not saw Mark or Jinyoung.

"Why are we hiding again?" Mark

" I dont want Jaebeom to hate me more." Jinyoung

"How do you know.."  Mark

Even before Mark finished talking he can see Jinyoung shoot him with are you serious look.

"But you cant always hide from him." Mark

"I will find another way to handle that but right now is not the time to see him." Jinyoung

"You know tomorrow I will start my tutor with him?" Mark

"Really? Can you help me and look up his uality? I mean i dont want to pry but I need to know if I should ignore the reason that make my mind go crazy or what." Jinyoung

"I will try even if I think its impossible to know right?" Mark

Jinyoung took a long breathe.
