Kyuhyun stared at the other after his sudden action and blushed. Ryeowook murmured a soft “I’m sorry,” turning his gaze away from Kyuhyun. From behind Kyuhyun could hear the encouraging whispers from his fellow members. “If you like him, kiss him back dummy!” someone whispered.

“Do it before he thinks you don’t like him back!” another voice spoke.

“This is your chance! Do it!” someone else spoke.

Upon hearing the encouraging words Kyuhyun took in a deep breath, he placed his hand underneath Ryeowook’s chin and tilted his head to look up and face him before leaning forward and returning the kiss, but unlike Ryeowook, it was more than a peck.

Again from behind him, Kyuhyun could hear his fellow members cheer happily when they broke apart. “Yah, Kyuhyun! You didn’t tell us that you have a special someone,” his mother teased making him realize what he’s done. “Sorry! I-I uhm…” Kyuhyun began stuttering when his mother stepped in. ”We’re  so proud of you honey! You did extremely well. I‘m glad to see that you found something than playing those video games to take up your time!”

“She’s right you know, you did well.” Roxanne congratulated them through gritted teeth before leaving outside. On her way out she too slipped on her own spilt oil. Lucky for her she was quick enough to grab the table, and Henry being the gentleman that he is grabbed her other hand to prevent her from falling.

“Thank you!” she said rather coldly pulling her hand away, and that’s when detective Lau figured what had happened. Smiling at his discovery he joined the others, making sure he made sure that he congratulated them each individually.

“Henry, your hands are oily.” Sungmin pointed out, and the others couldn’t help but agree, but paying no mind to it, they just continued celebrating their victory.

“Well, Kyuhyun, we’ll see you later, we’re going to head back now.” his parents informed him and walked away.

“Ok, lets get this placed cleaned up, and head back to the hotel.” Mr. Lau instructed dancing around with the first place trophy. “Oh my gosh! I should call Teukie!” and like the wind he was gone, his employees couldn’t help but laugh at their boss and his happy dance.

On their way back to the hotel, Henry and the other four couldn’t help but noticed that both Kyuhyun and Ryeowook haven’t said a word to each other since their little incident earlier. Sungmin cleared his throat rather loudly, “I think that I’m going to buy some water for our trip back, Eunhyuk you should help me, you too Henry!” and he pulled them away.

Now it was Tae Yeon, Tiffany and the two shy boys, but it didn’t take the other two to realize why Sungmin took both Hyuk and Henry. “Tiffany let’s go buy some souvenirs for everyone back home.” and Tae Yeon quickly pulled the other girl away. “Did you want extra help?” Ryeowook yelled as they disappeared. “NO! You get back to the hotel we’ll meet up later!”

“Guess it’s just us again.” Kyuhyun laughed softly, Ryeowook couldn’t help but laugh with him. “Yea…” even with just the two of them, they still walked together in silence. They both had many questions in mind, but didn’t have the guts to speak up. Looking over to the other, Kyuhyun help but noticed Ryeowook’s bare hand. He had a sudden urge to lace his fingers with the other. ‘Augh! What are you thinking? Just cuz you shared a small insignificant kiss, doesn’t mean you’re dating!’ he scolded himself.

‘Come Ryeowook, just reach out and take his hand, you can do it.’ The smaller boy thought to himself. After walking a few more paces, they both took a deep breath hoping that the other didn’t notice. But as they both reached out for another, their fingers brushing against one another, someone ran in between them “Sorry!” he called over their shoulder as he continued jogging. ‘Dammit!’ Kyuhyun internally cursed himself, and Ryeowook did the same. Not to mention their daily stalkers, along with Henry’s dad cursed as well.

Kyuhyun wanted to try again but noticed that they were in front of the hotel already. “I think I’m going to turn in early,” Ryeowook spoke softly hiding his blushing face. “O-ok, I’ll wait for the others to get back. Do you have your room key?” Checking his pockets he failed to find it. “Oh no! I left it on the bathroom sink in the room!” he just remembered.

“H-how about I walk you to the room and let you in?” Kyuhyun suggested nervously, and Ryeowook agreed with a slight nod and they both walked up to their room.

Kyuhyun couldn’t help but think that this was just like walking your boyfriend/girlfriend to their front door. ‘Gah! Kyuhyun what are you thinking?! You share the same room, so why do you feel so nervous!’ he internally yelled at himself again.

“Thanks Kyuhyun, I-I’ll see you later?” he questioned the other not trying to make it sound like a question. ‘Well, yea! You share a room with him genius!’ Ryeowook scolded himself as well.

“Well, yea, we share the same room,” he chuckled softly, making Ryeowook blush. “Ok, well… good night Kyuhyun.” he bit his lower lip slowly closing the door. “Wait!” he heard the other call out. Peaking out the door, “Ye-” before he could even finish his short reply he was met with a quick peck on the cheek before wishing the other good night and quickly walking down the hall.

Ryeowook brushed his cheek where the other had kissed him and smiled widely as he shut the bedroom door.

Back in the lobby Kyuhyun just sat in the game room grinning to himself and his brave actions. “Well, someone certainly looks happy! Where‘s Wookie?” Henry asked as he greeted his best friend as he took a seat next to the other, joining them was both Sungmin and Eunhyuk. “Hey guys, Ryeowook is sleeping now.” Kyuhyun greeted them all as well as answering Henry‘s question.

“Did you ask him out yet?” Eunhyuk asked getting straight to the point, “It’s pretty obvious that you like each other so why not ask him out already?” he continued to questioned the other.

“He’s right you know! There are a lot of customers who has their one on little Wookie.” Sungmin added. “He hasn’t said yes to anyone, maybe he’s waiting for you!”

“I’ll tell him that you’re the ever famous ‘Gamekyu’ that he’s had a crush for like… ever!” Henry playfully threatened his friend.

They continued to encourage Kyuhyun all night until their curfew hit. “Ok, ok fine…When we get back…I’ll do it when we get back…But! It has to be the right moment, so don’t pressure me into it!” He boldly stated before walking to the elevator. “And another thing, you guys really at spying!” he stated with an evil grin before walking it the elevator.

“Ah! It‘s all your fault!“ Eunhyuk yelled at Henry and he yelled the same thing at Sungmin, all the way up to their hotel room the three argued playfully.

Kyuhyun walked to his room full of thought of how to confess to the other. “I could just straight up tell him, but then the guys will pester me about how plain and boring that was, Maybe I could write him a poem! Who am I kidding? I can’t write mushy romance poems!” he unlocked his door and walked in to the fresh scent of strawberries and cream along with a sleeping Ryeowook.

Kyuhyun walked over to the other’s bed and brushed away the long bangs that once again covered the small boy’s sleeping eyes. The strawberry scent was stronger while he stood next to Ryeowook. That’s when the idea hit him.

He took out his phone and sent a text to the three who kept him company in the lobby.

~I know what I want to do to confess to him, but I’m going to need your help, please…

-Kyuhyun~
