TAEMIN’S POV
I don’t believe this. Jinki hyung and Kibum hyung are going out for a date. And Kibum hyung might give Jinki hyung his number when they only met like more than a week when I’ve known Kibum hyung for what, like 4 years? That is not fair. Every time I see Kibum hyung, I would ask for his number but he always say that Minho has it. When I ask Minho hyung for Kibum hyung’s number, he would say that Kibum threatened that he would castrate him if he ever gave his number away. Life , bad.
Oh well. I think I should just be happy for Jinki hyung because he finally found someone to date! Sigh, how long has it been since he had a relationship? Maybe 3 years ago with Sunyoung noona? Psh, I wouldn’t call that a relationship. Wanna know why? Simple, because Sunyoung’s a and she only liked Jinki hyung for money. That’s right, she’s a ing gold-digger. I saw her cheating on my brother with someone else that looked like a hobo and turns out, all the money she was getting from my brother she would then give it to that hobo.
And when I told Jinki hyung about her, he got so furious no one could come near him within a ten feet radius. Ever since then, Hyung only focused on his work and never on his love life. So when I Jinki hyung became interested with Kibum hyung, I knew right then that he was in love. Am I a great brother or what?
“Hey, Tae, you look deep in thought. Wanna share it with me?” Minho said, sitting beside me again when he put the bowl of chips away to the kitchen.
“Minho, do you think Jinki hyung and Kibum hyung will become a great couple?” I leaned my head on his shoulder and brought my knees up to my chest wrapping my arms around them and waited for Minho’s answer. We were still watching some random show on TV but my mind is occupied with my brother and Kibum hyung. I don’t know why I’m worried about my brother’s relationship; he’s old enough and he can take care of himself but I just don’t him to get hurt again after his previous relationship.
“Well… right now I don’t know if everything will work out between the two of them. I mean, they haven’t gone out on an official date so we can’t really say that they’ll be couple.” Minho put his arm around my shoulder, rubbing his hand up and down my forearm.
“You’re right, but didn’t see how Jinki hyung looked that night at the party when Kibum hyung left? And earlier, Kibum hyung looked so happy when he managed to talk to Jinki hyung again. They’re going out yet but I’m pretty sure they’ll be a couple. Don’t you think?” I then looked at him, his expression was unreadable but when he looked down at me, he smiled telling me that everything will be fine and that I have nothing to worry about.
His smile made me relax a bit. Maybe I was just being paranoid about things. Aish! Seriously, I should really stop watching those suspense foreign TV shows; they’re making me all paranoid and acting all nuts about things. Bleh.
KIBUM’S POV
Why can’t I stop smiling? Sure, I got Jinki hyung’s number from Minho but I still can’t get the smile out of my face. People are already starting to think that I’m crazy or something but I just can’t help it. It’s like that night at the party again, the night I first met Jinki hyung. Maybe I’m smiling because of the fact that Jinki hyung asked me out even for just coffee. Not wanting to wait any longer, I decided to call Jinki hyung even though it’s only 2 in the afternoon.
*ring ring*
“Hello?" Jinki hyung answered from the other end of the line.
“Jinki hyung! It’s me, Kibum,” I said, almost regretting my too happy voice.
“Oh, Kibum! Finally, you called. I’ve been waiting for you to call me. I almost thought you wouldn’t." Aww, he sounded so sad that it took me this long to call him.
“Sorry. I was just stalling a little bit to see if you really are waiting for my call,” I teased.
“Of course I’m waiting for your call. I’ve been waiting to talk to you again for days!”he exclaimed and I couldn’t help but laugh at him. “Yah! Don’t laugh at me! Do you know how frustrating it was?"
“Of course I do know how frustrating it was.” I said, letting out a few more giggles before continuing, “Actually… I’ve been wanting to talk to you again. And by the way, the last time we say each other was just two days ago, hyung. You’re exaggerating a little bit.”
“Whatever, Kibum.”He huffed. “So where are you right now?” he asked.
I looked around me, noticing that I’m surrounded by tall buildings which meant that I’m downtown. “I’m downtown, hyung.”
“Really? Which part? I’m in downtown, too. Maybe I could you pick up and then we’ll go get some coffee.”
“Uhm, okay. I’m in front of a rather tall looking building. Wait, I think it says ‘Lee Corp.’ at the top. Are you near that place?” I saw a bench near the building and took a seat.
“What?! You’re in front of Lee Corp?”he yelled so loud that I had to distance my phone from my ear, cringing a little bit before putting it back on my ear.
“You don’t have to yell, you know.” I mumbled. “And yeah, I’m in front of that building. Why?”
“Kibum! That’s where I work! Wait. Oh! I think I see you! Are you the one sitting on the bench cross-legged?” he asked.
“Yeah, that’s me!” I said, standing up in the process.
“Yeah! Just wait for me there, okay? I’ll be right down. See ya!” and then he hang up. When I put my phone back into my bag, I chuckled a little bit at this coincidence. I sat back again on the bench and waited for Jinki hyung. After two minutes, I saw running him through the glass double doors with a big smile on his face.
“Kibum!” He yelled and hugged so tight I thought all the air in my lungs will leave my body.
“H-hyung! Can’t… can’t br-breathe…” He chuckled before letting me go and letting air go through my body again.
“Sorry about that.” He said, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
“It’s okay. It’s not like you killed me, you know.” I joked and he laughed a little bit.
“So, you want to go for coffee now?”
“Sure, why not.” We were about to cross the street when someone suddenly called Jinki hyung’s phone, making us stop on our tracks.
“Hello?” he answered in a business like manner. It’s so unbelievable how he could turn into someone so professional from someone who looked like a dork in just seconds. Huh, maybe that’s just how grown ups should be.
“Oh, come on. I’m with someone right now. Can’t that wait until I get back?” he whined, and the dork is back. Sigh.
“Fine, but I’m telling you right now so you better listen to me carefully, bastard. If the guy I’m with right now rejected me, you are so going to pay for it. Do you hear me?” he threatened. He ended the call with sigh, his forefinger and thumb pinching the bridge of his nose as his head tilted back with his eyes closed.
“It looks like you’re busy. Maybe we could go some other time.” I said quietly.
“No! No, I’ve been waiting for this day to happen so you’re not leaving!” I looked at him wide eyed, surprised. When he opened his eyes once again he immediately apologized.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. It’s just that this is supposed to be ‘our’ time, you know. Besides, it’s my break so when they called I just got irritated. Do they have any idea how numb my was for sitting for so long? Look, is it okay if you just come with me inside and then when I’m done, I’ll take you out for coffee or maybe even dinner. What do you say?” His eyes just looked so hopeful that just seconds after he them, I nodded my head and he led me back into the building.
When I passed by the double doors, I suddenly felt anxious. I’m inside the rival company, or well, my dad’s rival’s company. Even though I’ve never taken anything related to business matters, I knew pretty much everything what is going on between Lee Corp and my dad’s company. I know every single flaw our company has, every dirty secret and every hidden facilities and structures inside the Kim Industries’ main building. The only way I learned about those things is when I asked Minho to hack into the company’s computer system using Jonghyun’s account.
From then on, I started looking through whatever that goes around the company; their stocks, their problems, their future plans, Jonghyun’s and Dad’s schedules and meetings. I even learned new things that Jonghyun’s doesn’t know. Me and Minho are amazing, huh?
“So, what do you think?” Jinki then asked me, disrupting my thoughts. I smiled to him and answered, “It looks really nice.” Looking around, I noticed that some people are staring at us making me feel a little bit uncomfortable.
“Uhh, Jinki hyung… why are they looking at us like that?” I quietly whispered to him, still looking at those people staring at us.
He chuckled before answering me, “Why, you afraid, Kibum? Hey, don’t worry. I think they’re just looking at us because of me.” I looked up at him in confusion. “Because of you? And why is that, may I ask?” raising an eyebrow.
“Well, simple: they’ve never seen their boss talk with someone else before other than his business colleagues.” While saying those words, he was smiling to everyone; some of the female employees blushed and the male employees were saluting playfully.
“Their… Their boss? You’re their boss, hyung?” he nodded. WHAT. THE. HELL.
“Jinki-ah!” someone called. We turned to come face to face with a middle aged man, probably in his late fifties or something.
“Dad, I thought you were in a meeting.” Dad? Then that means this person in front of us is President Lee, the owner of Lee Corp, himself. Oh, wow…
“Who’s this young man, Jinki?” Mr. Lee asked, pointing a stubby finger at me.
“Oh, uhm… Dad, this is Kibum. Kibum, this is my dad.” Jinki introduced to each other and as respect, I went to shake Mr. Lee’s hand, smiling a little bit.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lee.”
“Nice to meet you, too, son; so what brings a fine young man here in this establishment?” Mr. Lee asked, turning back to Jinki hyung.
“Well, Kibum and I were about to get some coffee when Joon,” he said the guy’s name with irritation, “called me saying there was an emergency. So…”
“Jinki, don’t tell me you’re keeping Kibum here while your working? You do not want to him get bored out of his mind doing nothing here now, would you?” Mr. Lee was surprisingly very friendly towards me. Even though he may look like a strict person, I think he really likes getting along with Jinki hyung. I just wish that that dad and I would be like this someday.
“Well… I don’t want to send him home yet…” Jinki sounded so sad that my hand automatically touched his slightly, wrapping my forefinger to his. He looked at me with those sad eyes, making Mr. Lee laugh a little bit.
“Son, are you dating Kibum?” The question was so sudden that it made of both us speechless, looking at the old man with equally wide eyes.
When Jinki regained his composure, he said, “D-dad… W-what… What a-are you t-talking about?” he laughed nervously, and just like when he’s embarrassed he also scratched the back of his head.
“Oh, come on, Jinki! I’m your father, okay. It’s okay if you’re dating again. Besides, I think that Kibum-sshi is a nice person.” Mr. Lee looked at me with kind eyes and smiled, making me smile back. This is wonderful; Jinki hyung’s dad likes me!
“Uhh… are we… you know… dating?” Jinki hyung asked me, his expression anxious.
“Do you want to us to go on a date?” I replied back and he nodded, “Well I guess we’re dating then.”
“This is really wonderful! My son’s dating again!” Mr. Lee exclaimed, getting everyone’s attention that were at the lobby. He then hugged Jinki hyung tightly in a bear hug, and if I heard it correctly, I think Jinki hyung let out an audible ‘oof’ from the sudden hug. The sight of the two them acting like brothers instead of father and son made me smile.
“Jinki-ah, you better bring Kibum to our house sometimes, yes? I want your mother to meet him and then we’ll get to know him. I’m pretty sure Taemin will happy that you’re dating again.”
“Uhh, Dad. Taemin already knows about Kibum.”
“Really? How?”
This time, I decided to speak for myself, “Well, Mr. Lee, Taemin and I actually go to the same university. He is my friend and so is Minho.”
“You’re a student?” Mr. Lee asked, his face shocked.
“Yes, sir. I’m older than Taemin by a year.”
“Jinki, how could you date someone so young?” Mr. Lee said in mocked disbelief, his hand going up to mouth. Even though I just met him, I felt slightly embarrassed at how childish Jinki hyung’s father is.
“Aish! Dad, if you’re going home now, just go. You’re embarrassing us…” Jinki hissed-whisper to his dad.
“Fine, but you better remember to bring Kibum to our house next time. Do you understand?” Jinki nodded. “Good, nice to meet you again, Kibum.” I bowed and then he left.
As soon as Mr. Lee left, Jinki hyung led me to what I think was his office. It had luxurious feeling to it of course. The floor on the hallways looked like marble and the receptionists’ desks were made out of wood that was cut in the middle for the secretaries to walk through. Behind the receptionists’ desks were four somewhat large portraits with golden frames, and two waiting chairs were put together in the middle in front of the desks. And after the receptionists’ desks was a glass door with a bee-hive pattern on it.
When we got to his office, I couldn’t help but get mesmerized by the sight of it. It was spacious and neat, with books organized behind the dark wood table. There were three black leather chairs in the middle of the room with a leather table at the center. Just the sight of it made me wish that I have an office like this. I went to touch the leather interior, feeling it beneath my fingertips, my eyes still wandering at the sight before me. My other hand then reached for the wooden table, feeling its sleekness from the varnish.
“Pretty cool, huh?” Jinki hyung mumbled behind me. I nodded. He chuckled. “How does it feel like to have something like this?” I asked quietly. Because of the quietness in the room, we could only in hushed tones not wanting to ruin the calming atmosphere.
“Well, not really. What can a luxurious room bring if there’s no happiness in it?”
“True.” I finally stopped my wandering when I was standing next to the large glass window. The blinds were down so only few rays of light could only go through the room, although the lights were on. I turned around to face Jinki, getting a shock when I saw him so close to me. How long has he been this close to me? How come I never felt him behind me?
“What?” he asked innocently.
“…Nothing.”
“You’re even prettier up close…” he suddenly said, making me gulp. By now, I should be scared thinking that I’m going to get if don’t leave, but this is Jinki hyung, he wouldn’t do that kind of thing to me would he?
“Uhm, hyung… uhh… I kind of need my personal space… if you know what I mean…” I tried to say as carefully as possible but my heart was racing that it could burst out of my rib cage any second. My breathing was becoming heavy all of sudden, and so was his breathing too. He was just looking at my face as if he was inspecting something so valuable; something so rare and delicate and I couldn’t help but look at his eyes and feel myself getting lost in them.
Few more moments of just looking, our faces are getting closer to each other; his eyes shifting from my eyes to my lips and my eyes just looking back, slowly closing on their own. It felt like years but then eventually, our lips met and right then, we both felt something sparked between us.
OMG!! Jinki and Kibum kissed!!
