The Decision

Bound to Love, Bound to You

Kyuhyun roamed around the cafe with a rather confused mind after Siwon's sudden appearence, saying the weirdest thing ever, and giving him a hug which he thought he could still feel the touch on him. He continued with his work, taking orders from the customers, learning to brew a coffee from Kangin, cleaning up the tables after the customers left. But...somehow, his mind, or rather his eyes, would tend to roam on their own and fixed on Siwon for a while.

When he talked and laughed with Kangin...

When he smiled at Kyuhyun who was caught stealing glances at him...

When he was sipping his cappuccino while looking through the paperwork...

When he chuckled looking at his phone...

 

"Hey," Siwon suddenly stood next to Kyuhyun when Kyuhyun was mopping the floor for the closing, "Do you need help?"

Kyuhyun jumped when he heard Siwon's voice near him, as his mind was miles away from what he is doing at the moment.

Siwon chuckled, "Do you need to be so shocked?" He took the mop and bent down mopping, "You need to rest, you have been working for hours."

"Siwon... Its only for 4 hours. But you sounded like I had work for a whole day." Kyuhyun sighed, "You don't have to be so nice..."

"Hey, no more doubts on pitying issue, get it?" Siwon straightened himself and looked firm on Kyuhyun, "I am nice to my friend, because I wanted to... Because you...deserve more than anything..."

 

Kyuhyun stared at Siwon with his gentle words, when Siwon went back on his mopping job. And there once again, he could feel his heart thumping hard for the guy who is all so caring for him... Its been a while...since someone else care for him so much other than the Lee family... Its been a while...since Kyuhyun felt his heart blooming with comfort.

Its been a while...since Kyuhyun had tears in his eyes...

 

When Siwon straightened up again, Kyuhyun turned around and wiped the tears away at the corner of his eyes.

"I am done." Siwon smiled, "Do you need a lift? Since we are living near to each other..."

Kyuhyun let out a fake cough, clearing his choked throat, "I don't think..."

"Maybe I should not ask you that as a question." Siwon walked into the counter to finish up with everything else, "10 minutes, I will be waiting for you outside."

"...You are one control freak, aren't you?" Kyuhyun took off his apron while walking to the back of the cafe for a change of clothes.

"Not to late for you to know that." Siwon laughed.

 

Inside the changing room, Kyuhyun leaned against the wall, calming himself down from whatever had happened for the night.

Something...is forming in his heart... And seems like...whatever it is, it is starting to grow...

 

"What is that weird feeling...?"

 

--------------------

"Never. You are not alone at all. Because, you got me... So you are not alone. You.got.me." 

 

 

"You are not alone, Kyu..." 

"You are not alone, Kyu..." 

 

Kyuhyun opened his eyes, and found his head on a hard surface, with his hands above his head, holding to something slick. He blinked his eyes and brought down his hands, only to realise that he fell asleep on his study table. Oh, right. He was supposed to be revising for a test on the next day, but seems like he dozed off without him realising it.

Too tired? Too stressed?

Too occupied?

 

Then he snapped his head up, when he remembered the last thing in his sleeping mind. The words...weird yet comforting words. from Siwon...

And the tight hug that Siwon gave, as if he is Siwon's most precious person in the world.

And...the fingers that brushed his cheeks...

The touch...skin against skin...

 

"You are not alone, Kyu..." 

 

Including that ever-sweet smile, as if telling him, there will be no worries in this world with Siwon around.

And Kyuhyun...was dazzled. 

Yes... He was...and now, he couldn't help himself but to rethink the words from Siwon...

 

Its been a week since Siwon said those stuffs. And, Kyuhyun did not managed to ask for an explanation on why Siwon said the weird things and left him all so dumbstruck. Because, each time he saw Siwon, the image of them hugging and Siwon gazing into his eyes and brushing his cheeks gently, which caused his heart to flip a thousand times in him. And the cycle continued for a week...

He was sure he had never felt this way before. Never... Rather new and strange to him...

 

Subconsciously, he raised his hand to brush his own cheek. He could almost feel the touch from Siwon, still lingered on his skin. He closed his eyes, and the image came running in his mind again. And this time, with another memory of the moment where Siwon hugged him the other time, on the issue where Siwon thought Kyuhyun was avoiding him due to his rich background. There, Kyuhyun remembered...his heart, was beating as fast too...pacing faster than ever when his chest was bumped against Siwon's. And...he was smiling...when he heard Siwon wanting him to work for him, "Till forever"...

"Till forever..." Kyuhyun mumbled.

 

This is getting nowhere. Kyuhyun shook his head, hoping to get rid of whatever nonsense in his mind. He stood up, walking out of his room and down the stairs towards the kitchen, hoping a drink of cool water can help him think better.

It was past midnight, everyone else was sleeping. So Kyuhyun creeped into the kitchen, making as minimal noise as ever, retrieving a bottle of iced water from the refrigerator. Letting the cold water runs down his throat with his eyes closed, Kyuhyun was absolutely in his own enjoyment. With almost half a bottle done, he placed the bottle back into the fridge, and closed the door of the cold storage, but almost screamed out when he saw a pair of eyes watching him.

 

"Sungmin hyung...!" Kyuhyun gasped, after figuring out the owner of the eyes.

Sungmin chuckled, to find the comical expression from Kyuhyun, as if his life was shortened 10 years.

"You gave me a scare there!" Kyuhyun whispered harshly, "And you dare to laugh?"

"I just wanted to get a drink, and you came one step before me." Sungmin whispered back, "I didn't want to disturb you in enjoying the water. It was fun to see though, as though you were filming an advertisement on drinking water."

"Sungmin hyung!" Kyuhyun sulked.

"Ok... I am sorry, Kyun ah." Sungmin poured himself a glass of water and gulped down before he had his attention back to Kyuhyun, "So whats bothering you? You seems like you are having some kind of trouble there."

"Oh so you are a psychologist now? How can you tell, in the dark furthermore?" Kyuhyun leaned against the counter, with his arms folded, feeling rather amused by Sungmin's sharp observant eyes.

 

"Well, when you were drinking the water, cold water to be precise, you looked rather relieved. As if you are using the cold water as a relief." Sungmin raised his eyes a little, confirming his speculation when he saw Kyuhyun's astonised spot-on look.

Kyuhyun bit his lips, this hyung...is something.

"So, care to share? But if you don't..." Sungmin trailed off, knowing the characteristic of Kyuhyun. He hardly share his inner thoughts with him, or anyone else in the house, always keeping things to himself.

 

Seeing that Kyuhyun remained his silence, Sungmin smiled and ruffled Kyuhyun's hair before taking his steps out of the kitchen.

But Kyuhyun opened his mouth, saying something that he found it unbelievable even to himself.

 

"Hyung... I think...I am having a weird feeling towards someone..."

Sungmin turned his back around to face Kyuhyun, "Huh? You...what?"

"I...don't know what this weird feeling is, but...it is definitely towards a person." Kyuhyun mumbled, hanging his head as low as possible, feeling rather ashamed of himself to speak something like this. Him, a person who was being abandoned, who is always relunctant to giving his heart to people other than the Lee family, is developing a strange feeling for someone.

 

"This person, is from your university?" Sungmin asked.

"...Yes..." Kyuhyun replied.

"Someone you know? In one of your classes?" Sungmin continued.

Kyuhyun nodded.

"And so, what kind of weird feeling are you talking about?" Sungmin prompted, wanting to know more about this feeling that Kyuhyun mentioned.

"I..." Kyuhyun could feel his face was burning red, and he was thankful, that they were having this conversation in the dark, "I don't know... It just started, to have this person kept coming to my mind...and those things that were said to me..."

 

"Hmmm..." Sungmin clicked his finger on his cheek, thinking through, "So, this weird feeling was formed, I assumed that something happened to cause it?"

"Yes."

"And after that, do you have this urge of wanting to see this person everyday?"

"...Yes..."

"Do you feel happy yet nervous at the same time when you see this person?"

"...Yes..."

"And, does your heart beats faster than ever?"

"...Yes..."

 

"Kyun ah..." Sungmin patted on Kyuhyun's shoulder, "You are...falling in love."

 

"WHAT?" Kyuhyun gasped, "Me...falling in...WHAT?"

"Shhhh! Do you want to wake everyone up?" Sungmin scolded Kyuhyun.

"But, hyung!! How can that be?! Me falling in love with a...a guy?" Kyuhyun exclaimed, "This must be a mistake..."

"A..guy...?" Sungmin was shocked, but he remained his calmness.

 

Yes... A guy... And this MUST be mistake... How can...this happen?!

No...Sungmin hyung is wrong...

 

"I...am going to bed, hyung..." Kyuhyun shook his head, getting even more confused after the conversation with Sungmin, "Good night." Not wanting to continue with the talk, Kyuhyun scrambled up the stairs without waiting for Sungmin to greet him good night.

Seeing such an abnormal behaviour from a witty kid, Sungmin blinked his eyes to confirm what he had just witnessed. This is one big change he saw in Kyuhyun.

The usual cool Kyuhyun who did not want to share what is within his deepest mind, who is always not willing to let anyone to enter his heart other than the Lee family, is...thinking of someone else... in his mind...?

 

Once back in his room, Kyuhyun slumped himself onto his bed, thinking over what Sungmin had said.

"You are...falling in love."

 

"No..." Kyuhyun mumbled, "It can't be... There must be some mistakes... There must be..."

 

Some mistakes....

--------------------

Siwon walked out of his lecture class after a full 2 hours of lecture, talking and laughing with his group of friends. Hyukjae was bouncing up and down, as if had been freed from a cage, walking backwards facing Siwon and the rest, discussing excitedly about where to have their lunch.

"I have texted Donghae, he will join me...I mean us for lunch. Hope you all don't mind!" Hyukjae rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"You have already asked, can we say no? Haha!" Yunho teased, walking up next to Hyukjae to flung his arms over Hyukjae, "It seems like you and Donghae...are getting closer huh?"

"What...? We are just practising together for a dance competition coming up next month..." Hyukjae flushed his eye lashes, with his eyes averting everywhere else but Yunho's gaze.

Yunho chuckled as he continued to tease his friend.

 

As they were walking pass the study area in the open, Siwon caught sight of a certain boy in brownish fluffy hair, where the brown was reflected beautifully under the sunlight. Siwon smiled, when he saw Kyuhyun was concentrating hard, biting the end of his pencil with his eyebrows knitted together.

When Kyuhyun let out a gasp and moved his pencil to write on the book that he was reading, Siwon couldn't help but to chuckle out softly.

He must be solving some world's hardest quiz...

 

Just when he was about to leave with his friends and walk towards Kyuhyun, Jessica blocked his vision smiling sweetly at him.

"Siwon, what do you think about watching a move tomorrow together? I have got 2 free movie tickets with me.. I asked a few of them, but none are free..." Jessica asked, when Siwon flicked his eyes on Jessica.

"Erm... But tomorrow is Saturday... I need to go Twosome... So I can't too..." Siwon replied, but his heart was obviously not on Jessica even though he was talking to her, "I am sorry, you have to find someone else." Siwon tilted his head to the side to look at Kyuhyun, and his eyes beamed together with his genuine smile when he saw Kyuhyun threw his head to the back, like he was enjoying a little sunbathing.

 

"Hey, guys. I am sorry, I am not joining you all for the lunch. Go ahead without me. Bye." Before he knew it, Siwon waved his hand and walked out in the open.

"What...?" Hyukjae turned to look at the walking away Siwon, "Where is he going?"

Yunho turned as well, looking further away, and there he saw, Kyuhyun sitting alone on the study bench. And he knew, that Kyuhyun must be the reason for Siwon to ditch his friends for. Then, he switched his attention and watched Jessica closely, and right at his prediction, Jessica was clenching her fists tightly as her eyes focused on Siwon walking away from her. Though he could only see her side, he could sense the fury coming out from her eyes, throwing daggers after daggers at the boy whom had his face looked up at Siwon.

And the boy...was flustering. That was the exact expression whenever Siwon talks to girls who are interested in him.

Cannot be wrong...

 

"Cousin." Yunho called out, worry that if he don't, she might snap.

Jessica blinked her eyes, before she threw out a sweet smile with beaming eyes, "I am hungry. Lets go."

Yunho felt a shiver down his back, when he saw the quick change in Jessica within seconds. If this is how she is going to put down, he cannot imagine, what will happen, when she knows about Siwon's true feelings towards that guy...

 

 

Over at the study area, Kyuhyun was astonished to see Siwon standing next to him looking over his shoulder peeping on him. He gasped when he felt the breath came on his ear, he turned his head around and blushed when he saw Siwon's smiling face.

"You looked so engrossed... Solving some world class' quiz?" Siwon chuckled, sitting down next to Kyuhyun.

"What are you doing here?" Kyuhyun asked stupidly.

"Well, I thought I said before, that you are alone because you got me, right? So here I am..." Siwon replied.

"I..." But before Kyuhyun could say anything, Siwon dropped his head on Kyuhyun's laps, closing his eyes to enjoy the sun on his face.

 

Kyuhyun almost screamed, when he felt Siwon's head on his laps. His breathing started to quicken, his heart started to race, his head and palms started to form sweats.

"You are...falling in love."

 

"This feels good, Kyuhyun..." Siwon mumbled comfortably, "Your laps...so comfy... I feel like I can have a good sleep on your laps."

"Siwon, this is weird..." Kyuhyun had his eyes roam all over Siwon's handsome face, taking the chance with Siwon's eyes closed, "What if others see..."

"Whats wrong with me lying on my friend's laps?" Siwon argued, "My beautiful friend... You look so gorgeous under the sun, do you know that?"

"I am...not beautiful." Kyuhyun pouted.

Siwon chuckled, and opened his eyes. only to find Kyuhyun averted his eyes away.

 

"Oh... Someone got caught for staring at me." Siwon teased, and reached out to pinch Kyuhyun's cheek, "Are you still jealous over me looking more handsome than you?"

"I did not...stare at you. You are too full of yourself Choi Siwon." Kyuhyun rebuked, slapping Siwon's hand away. He turned his attention back on Siwon, who was flashing his dimples.

Those deep deep dimples.. Kyuhyun...almost wanted to poke those dimples...wanting his fingers to fill up those holes...

 

"...I need to go..." Kyuhyun stood up, which caused Siwon to sit down immediately, looking confused at Kyuhyun, "Kyuhyun...?"

"This is not right..." Kyuhyun mumbled.

"What...what is not right?" Siwon asked, feeling awkwardly...sad. Is Kyuhyun avoiding him again? But the past week he was fine... So what happened?

 

Kyuhyun shook his head and walked away with his bag, but Siwon pulled his wrist, making him to turn around, "Wait! Kyuhyun..."

Kyuhyun slammed himself against Siwon's chest from the pull. Both gasped at the slam.

Siwon looked down at Kyuhyun, while Kyuhyun raised his head to face Siwon. And both could see the colours of the orbs from each other's eyes. For a minute, both just stood there, doing nothing...but to stare at each other.

And having Kyuhyun against his chest, Siwon started to feel...surprisingly comforting. Like having Kyuhyun with those pair of doe eyes looking at him...nothing matters anymore. As if...he has own the world, under his feet...

 

"Kyuhyun..." Siwon broke the silence by whispering Kyuhyun's name, which snapped Kyuhyun back to reality. Kyuhyun pushed Siwon lightly away, and stomped off without turning back, and chanting "This is not right..." while he walked away.

"Kyuhyun..." Siwon called after, but he was left behind, confused with Kyuhyun's action and words. 

 

What is not right?!

--------------------

Siwon threw his pen on the table, unable to concentrate anymore on the assignment that he was given in the lecture. He took a deep breath as he threw his head to the back of the chair, and pinched gently on his temple.

Then, came the words that was said by Kyuhyun earlier...

 

"This is not right..."

 

"What IS not right?" Siwon asked himself.

"What are you talking about, son?" Siwon's mother stood at the doorway, asking his son.

Siwon jumped a little from his chair, and turned around, "Oh omma..."

"Stressed with university?" She walked into the room, with a glass of warm milk in her hand, "Here, something for you to drink."

"Thanks omma..."

 

"Say... Siwon ah..." His mother sat herself on his bed, "You are not dating anyone, right?"

"Mother, are we going to discuss about that now?" Siwon sighed.

"Well, we can talk a little..." She cleared , "So, do you have anyone in mind right now?"

"No mother..." But Kyuhyun's face came to his mind.

"No one? No one whom you can't stop thinking about? Or someone who caught your eyes?" She continued with the questions.

"No one, mother..." But yet, he realised, that actually there is someone, who has been in his mind for a while recently.

"So what have you been occupied by? You are hardly at home recently after your school. And weekends as well..."

"I was at Twosome..." Siwon replied.

"And what are you doing there most of the times? You have a manager to help you with the place. You don't need to be there all the times. This is not what we had taught you, Siwon. You can't make the place grow when the main boss is always around. How would your employees feel to have a boss eyeing at them the whole times? And you have to concentrate on your studies too..."

 

But Kyuhyun is there... I want to be there when he is there working...

 

And as if something clicked in his head, he looked through his phone's photo albums where he secretly took pictures of Kyuhyun in Twosome +C4 the other day. The one where Kyuhyun was blinking his eyes in such a cute way when the steam from the coffee machine fogged his eyes, and at that sight made Siwon took out his phone to take a few pictures and chuckled to himself when he looked through the photos. Looking at Kyuhyun's face in his phone again, Siwon couldn't help but to smile from the bottom of the heart...

 

"I thought you are a girl...because you are beautiful..."

"You...are a special friend. Different from those I know...that I have this strong feelings...friendship over you... Affection...you can call it."

"...Till forever..."

"You are not alone, Kyu..."

 

"If there is no one whom you are interested in, why don't you consider Jessica?" Siwon's mother continued talking, unaware that her son was no longer listening to her, "Since both our families have known for years, I can safely say that Jessica is a really good girl. With good background, good manner, pretty young girl... She will be the most suitable match for you..."

And all Siwon was thinking in his mind, were all the images of him and Kyuhyun together, from the first day where they met, their misunderstanding shortly dissolved over a game of tic tac toe, the coincidence of them in the lecture for calculus study, his overly caring over Kyuhyun, him introducing Kyuhyun to work in his cafe, him letting Kyuhyun to sit in his car, their teases on each other...

And those hugs and words that he initiated on Kyuhyun...

 

"This is not right..."

 

"If you are shy in asking Jessica out, I can help you make the arrangement." Siwon's mother smiled, thinking how wonderful if her son can be with Jessica that sweet princess, and even better if the two families can be in-laws.

Siwon turned his head around to his mother, when he heard his mother's voice vivdly in the pool of Kyuhyun's face in his head, "What did you say mother?"

"I said, if you are shy in asking Jessica out, I can help you make the arrangement." She replied, "Jessica is not dating anyone too, so..."

Siwon stood up abruptly, "Mother, please don't do that. Me and Jessica are just friends... And..." He walked towards his wardrobe, and opened the door to retrieve a jacket from the wardrobe, "I need to go somewhere for a while."

"What? At this time? Where are you...?"

"Out for a while. Omma, don't have to wait for me, please go to sleep first." Siwon walked out of his room without looking at his mother.

"Siwon ah!!"

 

Outside his house, he ran towards his Audi, and dived into the car. Soon, he was driving out towards the place where housed a certain someone who is always in his mind.

Because now then he realised, what does the "not right" from Kyuhyun means...

And he decided, he shall make it clear and straight. 

To Kyuhyun. On the "not right" issue, and how he feels.

--------------------

Kyuhyun was about to turn in for the day, when he received a message from Siwon.

 

"Come out from your house now. I need to talk to you."

 

Kyuhyun stared at his phone for a few seconds before he decided to slip out of the house. He saw Donghae's room was still bright when he walked pass, hearing him giggling over the phone. And Sungmin's snores from his room, assuming that he is already asleep. Quietly, he tiptoed down the stairs, and unlocked the door successfully of not alerting anyone in the house at the late timing.

Putting on a thin sweater over his pyjamas, he walked out of the house, and there he was, Choi Siwon at the gate waiting for him. Kyuhyun clenched to his chest where his heart lies under, hoping the hysterical heartbeats will calm down.

 

"What are you doing here at this timing?" Kyuhyun opened the gate and frowned at Siwon, one for requesting him to be out in the cooling night, two for appearing in front of him, creating huge waves in his heart and mind.

Siwon stepped forward to reach out for Kyuhyun, pulling his arms towards himself.

Kyuhun startled with the pull, and fallen into Siwon's embrace for the 2nd time of the day, slapping their chests together.

 

"What.....?" Kyuhyun questioned, but before he could ask anything else, Siwon pressed their lips together.

Kyuhyun widened his eyes with the kiss, totally dumbstruck and utterly surprised that his mind went blank instantly.

 

Siwon inhaled deeply, hard with their lips pressed against each other, and there, he further confirmed with his heart... He continued to have their lips connected, feeling fully of the plump lips on him, how soft and how sweet the lips that he was holding onto.

When Siwon pulled away, he found the shocked Kyuhyun staring at him. He raised his hands and cupped Kyuhyun's face gently, placing their foreheads together, catching his breath back to the normal pace. That touch, finally brought Kyuhyun back to earth.

 

"What...what was that...?" Kyuhyun mumbled, blinking his eyes to get his focus back.

"Kyuhyun..." Siwon finally spoke, "Cho Kyuhyun..."

"What..."

 

"I like you..." Siwon confessed.

"Huh??" Kyuhyun questioned, thinking he might heard it wrongly.

 

 

"Cho Kyuhyun... I think I am in love with you..."
