Kibum
Secrets
The following day came and I hurriedly went to the library. I looked everywhere. I saw a man standing next to the window. His mask. I was right, it’s him.
me: Heenim!
Heenim: I guess you really do know that I’m your schoolmate too.
me: when do you remove your mask?
heenim: When I’m alone.
I pouted at him. He grabbed my hand and we went outside the library and sat on a garden bench.
Me: why did you bring me here?
Heenim: I want you to meet my friend.
Me: where is he then?
Guy: Heechul-ah! Hey! Who's this?
Heenim: Meet Hankyung. He's my best friend.
Me: hello.
Hankyung: hello. Are we up tonight?
Heenim: You know I don't do go to those anymore.
Heenim walked away.
Me: why did he go?
Hankyung: He hasn't been to a club in a few years.
Me: why?
Hankyung: I think you should ask him. Anyway, classes are about to start. Bye.
I ran to my P.E. class. I, Kyuhyun and Heenim were classmates. Our topic was ballroom dancing. We were asked to find a dance partner. I wanted to take Heenim but Kyuhyun asked me first. I couldn’t turn him down. He is my best friend after all. Heenim looked at us with eyes I haven’t seen. He glared at Kyuhyun with fierce eyes. After an hour of dance, classes ended and I received a call.
me: unni?
unni: yah! I deposited the money to your account.
me: unni, thanks so much!
unnie: hey, you’re still my sister.
me: I love you unni. When are you coming home?
unnie: I’m not sure. But it's near. Anyway, I love you too. Bye.
Unnie hung up the phone.
Kyuhyun: your unni just called?
Me: yeah.
Kyuhyun: Are you training today?
Me: Yeah. Why?
Kyuhyun: Can I take you there?
Me: Sure.
We walked up to the company. Kibum saw us.
Kibum: why didn't you call me?
Me: should I?
Kyuhyun: I got her man.
Me: I'm fine.
Kibum: I could pick you up from school.
Me: you don't go to our school.
Kyuhyun: Look, at school, she's with me.
Me: why am I talking to myself?!
kibum: too bad here, she's with me.
Me: hello, I'm here!
I just left them and practiced my heart out. After practice, I ran up to where I expect Heenim is. He wasn't there. I sat and hit a few keys. Suddenly, someone covered my eyes.
Me: aish~ heenim, next time you have to do better than just covering my eyes
heenim: I got nothing.
We played the piano. While playing, he held my hand.
heenim: you remind me of someone.
Me: really?
heenim: too bad, it was a bad memory.
Me: I’m sorry.
heenim: remember, tonight.
Me: I wouldn't miss it for the world.
He stood up and left me. I took a look and didn’t see Kibum. I wanted to avoid him and Kyuhyun. I walked towards home alone. Once I arrived, I ate dinner. After eating, there was a knock on the door. It was Kibum.
Kibum: are you busy?
Me: well, I have to go somewhere
kibum: what about me?
Me: what do you mean?
I didn't realize but he smells like alcohol. He must be so depressed. He doesn't drink unless he’s too depressed.
Kibum: Are you going to Kyuhyun's? Please don't.
He fell. I dragged him to the couch. I have to meet Heechul. I left him asleep. I think I came a little too early. I have a camera with me. I took a picture of the moon. It's a full moon. I love how it shines so bright. Heenim came. We smiled at each other
Heenim: Beautiful right?
Me: So illuminating.
We stared at the moon for a few minutes.
Heenim: Tomorrow, I'll show you my face.
Me: yes. I'll wait for you.
We walked awhile. We reached my place. We said our goodbyes. Am I really falling for someone? I looked and still saw Kibum on my couch. I covered him with a blanket. I could feel he's sick. I put a wet cloth on his head.
Me: you're my friend. I don't want to lose any of you.
I went to my room. I didn’t realize that Kibum was awake.
Kibum: why? You went out without telling me. You still see me as a friend. And you're going out with that Heechul guy.
Kibum just fell asleep on my couch.
