Foreword: When you're alone.

"Ah. Eotteohke?" Alexander muttered to himself. He and his friends agreed yesterday to meet at 10:30am today but it had a sudden change of plan on the last minute. Too late, he's already in the school minutes before the time they agreed earlier.

He tried to think of ways to kill his time while waiting for his friends. He thought of processing his scholarship so he went on. But on the last step, he realized that he left his registration certificate at home which is one of the major requirements for his stipend to be released. 'What the heck' he thought.

So he was left alone on the waiting area sitting in front of their University Office for Student Services. It's only way past 11am and there's still an hour left before his friends will arrive. He sighed again defeatedly.

He took out his phone and texted his friends asking them their whereabouts. While typing, a young man approached him and greeted him.

"Annyeong haseyo!" The man said. He responded back with a smile.

"Uhm, hyung, can you help me?" The young man said again.

"Wae? What can I do for you?" Alexander responded nicely while figuring out in his mind what could be this man's problem and of all people, why he was the 'chosen one'.

"Uhm. My name is Kevin. I am an incoming freshman. I was applying for the entrance examination but I left my requirements." The man worriedly told the older. "The registrar told me to write an affidavit to request them allow me take the exam and that if I can't submit to them my requirements within the period given, they may disqualify me if I may pass."

'Huh? Do I look that intelligent?' Alexander thought. He wanted to scratch his head but he didn't want the other to notice that he himself doesn't know what to do either. 'Omigosh' he just whispered discreetly.

"Okay. Sit here." he motioned Kevin beside him. "Do you have scratch paper? I will just be dictating you the letter, okay?"

The dictation began. 'This is very on-the-spot' He sighed in between his thoughts for composing the letter.

"You state your name, what school you came from and your current year level." Alexander instructed the other while looking at his serious face as he did what he was told.

"And ...?" Kevin looked at him obviously waiting for the next instruction.

"A-and.. uh.. the reason why y-you're writing this l-letter." he began to stutter but the other seemed to not notice why.

As he kept dictating-slash-stuttering, he was unconsciously examining the younger man's face. He began to blush when his eyes noticed Kevin's natural pinkish lips and his y jaw line. He had the sudden urge to touch them. He slowly extended his fingers.. slowly.. slowly...

"And??" Kevin looked at him which made the other freeze in surprise. The younger noticed Alexander's previous gesture so he acted as if he was just yawning instead and extended both of his arms in the air to add more effect to it.

"Geez. I'm sorry for bothering you, hyung." The other pouted guiltily.

"A-aniyo! Gwaen...c-chana." The older excused which made Kevin smile again at him. He wanted to punch himself for looking a total 100% silly.

Finally, the draft was done. Alexander sighed in relief.

"Whoah. Great!" Kevin exclaimed happily while reviewing the draft. "Gomawo, hyung!"

Kevin stood up and bowed to thank him again.

"W-wait.." Alexander suddenly held his arms. Both of them gasped in the older's action. "I-I am sorry."

Kevin smirked when the other removed his hands. "Wae?"

"N-nothing. I have to go. N-nice to meet you. Goodluck!" Alexander stood up and bowed. He turned around but he felt soft hands on his arm preventing him from doing so.

"Here's my number. Thanks.." Kevin slid a piece of paper inside his polo pocket as he placed a soft wet kiss on the older's lips before walking away.
