Chapter 5

A/N: Kyuwook moment on MBC Music Core!!! Wookie winked at  Kyu!!! Omo *dying*

Enjoy anyway ~ Sorry for any mistakes - I was so distracted...

*********************************************

-Can’t believe I have to cancel the date with Minnie and be your porter! –Kyuhyun complaint. Complaining was always the right thing that made people feel guilty, especially when it came to this boy walking next to him.

-I’m very sorry about that... – Ryeowook fell for his trap immediately – Here, let me carry those – he reached for the fertilizer bag on the taller’s left side and was immediately pulled off by him.

-As if I’m gonna let you do it. It’s your birthday today!

-Aish, you’ve just complaint about those seconds ago! – he pouted. If the younger’s hand was free he had probably pinched those cheeks.

-I just wanna see your expression – he tried to shrug, but the heavy bags of fertilizers and seeds prevented him from doing so.

-Yah!

He laughed. He always enjoyed Ryeowook’s company. Being with him cheered him up. His personality was so innocent and easy to tease.

But he always got what he wanted somehow. Like then, despite his hatred towards flowers, he agreed to help the older to plant some plants in his balcony on his birthday. Of course before his agreement, there was constant bickering and pouts – which made him eventually given up before he could explode of adorableness.

Yet unlike Sungmin, he didn’t realize how cute he is.

*****

-Wow, Kyu-ah, look at how you till the soil like a professional! – Ryeowook said, enthusiasm filled his voice.

The mentioned boy only smirked.

- Don’t lie! You’ve done this a lot! – he folded his arm at his chest, beamed a playful smile.

-Yeah – the other sighed, obviously didn’t like the topic.

-Hah! I knew it! – Ryeowook jumped up and down at the new discovery. The other smiled brightly at his childlike action – even though he felt intrusive at the question.

You’ll never know I used to do this everyday when I was a child.

*****

-You’re supposed to help me with this! – Kyuhyun yelled at the older – now looking at him planting seeds.

-Who said ‘As if I’m gonna let you do it. It’s your birthday today!’ earlier? – Ryeowook stuck his tongue, reached four of his fingers out and made a symbol of the quotation mark.

-That’s no fair! – the younger raised his voice, extended the word ‘fair’. He chuckled; the way they fought reminded him of the children at the kindergarten.

-It’s fair enough for me – the petite man laughed, clearly noticing how his position had changed from the one being bullied to the bully.

But not for too long.

A piece of soil immediately flew into his shirt.

-Ah! My favorite shirt! – his mouth wide opened, hands rubbing back and forth at the new dirt.

Endless laugh from Kyuhyun was what he received for an answer.

-Gah! You’re so gonna pay for it! – he picked a piece of soil up in the nearest soil bag and threw it at the now-rolling-on-the-floor Kyuhyun.

Seconds after, the world war began, funny noises echoing all over the apartment.

-Weapons ready! On target! SHOOT!

-You MISSED! Hahaha PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM!

-Umma, help me ~ I’m soooo freaking scareddd…

-Here comes your umma!

-Yah! My pants! GET BACK HERE CHO KYUHYUN!

Their clothes then were a mixture of dust, soil and sweat. Their faces were covered with countless stripes of dirt – which were caused by their fingers rubbing against the skin to wipe away the perspiration. They were both panting heavily, half from the fight, half from the endless laughter.

-Give it up Kim Ryeowook! – Kyuhyun pointed at his opponent.

-No… way! – the petite raised both of his hands up, preventing from another attack.

The younger picked up a spray bottle nearby and playfully smirked. Ryeowook blinked:

-Oh no you didn’t….AHHHH!

He squatted down at the floor, tilted his head to avoid the water, laughing crazily:

-Ok, ok I give up! I give up!

The older slowly stood up, still heavy breathing. When the laughing attack had finished, he looked around and realized the mess they had made.

-Yah Kyuhyun! My flower garden!!!!

He rushed to the other’s side and hit his back continuously.

Another war was about to begin.

*****

Ryeowook stepped out of the bathroom and get dressed. He smiled, remembering the events which had just taken place in his balcony. The other had left after cleaning the small garden and planting the seeds together, and promised to get back later to make a cake with him.

This was the best birthday he had ever had – and mainly because Kyuhyun was accompanying him.

He had always considered Kyuhyun as friend – but lately something inside was more than that. He didn’t feel the same way anymore when they were hanging around and his stomach always itched every time that man smiled. Even when they were bickering over some senseless things, Ryeowook couldn’t help but falling for his smirks some more. And to add to that, he could sense the same attitude in Kyuhyun. He wondered how far this relationship would go if he kept growing this kind of feeling inside of his heart.

Lost in his thoughts, it took him a few seconds to notice an unfamiliar mobile sound. The petite man rushed to the source and realized it was Kyuhyun’s phone with a line:

“1 missed call: Teukie-hyung”

I’d better get this back to him.

He got out of the door and walked downstairs.

*****

 The door of the younger’s apartment was  slightly open.

It could be dangerous, I must tell Kyuhyun to remember to lock it carefully later.

-Kyu-ah you forgot… - he pushed the door swung open to see an embarassment situation.

-You told me you were sick! – He heard an angry familiar voice and a figure turned around.

Kyuhyun was standing next to his boyfriend. Seemed like he was having a quarrel – due to the expression on his face. He haven’t even washed himself.

-Oh sorry… I didn’t hear you – Sungmin bowed at the man – Hey… you were…you were the florist I met a few weeks ago, right?

-Yes. I’m Ryeowook and I’m Kyuhyun’s neighbor now – he smiled politely – I’m here to return the phone he left at my apartment.

Sungmin looked at the phone surprisingly, then glared at Kyuhyun – who glared back immediately:

-You canceled our date to go with HIM? You’re cheating me, aren’t you?

-I’m not! – Kyuhyun furrowed his eyebrow.

-Then why did you tell me you were sick? I was so worried! And when I came here you was at the door looking all messy!

-Stop it! You always blow things up without even listening to my explanation! – his fury came to the breaking point.

-I’ve had enough of you! – Sungmin’s face went dark and with heavy footsteps he left the room.

There was an awkward silence when Kyuhyun finally spoke weakly:

-I wanna be alone. Please close the door when you left, Wookie.

Ryeowook silently obeyed and went out, not knowing what to think.
