Chapter 10

“Are you sure you’re already okay? Have you released all your tears?” Kyuhyun asked me with concern. 

His hands were placed on my shoulders and he was looking at me like a mother looking at her child who was beaten up at school. A really concerned and caring look. Oh God, I suddenly remembered his concern for me during Donghae’s concert. 

“Yeah, I’m sorry for getting your shirt so wet because of my tears.” I apologized. I just made a laughing stock out of myself in front of Kyuhyun. How can I ever regain my pride and dignity again?!

“It’s okay. Not that I’m teasing you, but I just want to say that I didn’t expect that you would be like this. I mean I expected that you’ll be surprised but I never thought that you would actually cry over my little surprise. Oh and blame Yesung for making you cry like this.” He said.

“Huh? Why would I blame Yesung?” I asked.

“He attempted to snag you away from me! Because of that, I had no choice but to bring you to this place. So we should blame Yesung because we arrived here which resulted to your crying.” He said with a smirk.

I started to laugh. Kyuhyun can really be logical and analytical at times.

“Hey! I made you laugh! Haha! Great me!” He said, looking like he won the lottery.

Oh, you never fail to amuse me Cho Kyuhyun!

“Let me just change my shirt my cute little blushing Kim Ryeowook, okay?” He said with a wide grin.

“Uhhh… okay.” I said and I just sat down at the couch facing the all the buttons and controls of the recording studio.

Kyuhyun took a bag from one of the cabinets located at the side of the room then he went inside the actual recording room where the microphone and other instruments were placed. I couldn’t see him through the glass because he just stayed right behind the door. 

I was looking around the place when my eyes went back to the door again, noticing that the door was not fully closed. A little opening was left which tempted me to peek through it. 

I just stayed in my seat and tried to look at him from that little opening. His back was facing me and I couldn’t help but gulp. Okay, I have to admit, Kyuhyun looks y from the back. Wait, what am I thinking?! You’re not a ert, Wookie! Just take your eyes away from that sight, I instructed myself but it felt like my eyes had its own life. 

I realized that beads of sweat were starting to form on my forehead and on my upper lip. I wiped away the sweat and took a deep breath. Wake up, Wookie!

“Like what you’re seeing, huh?” I suddenly heard Kyuhyun’s voice. Even though I can’t see his face, I know that he has a smirk plastered on his face.

“W—what a—are you talking about?” I nervously said, looking at a different direction.

“I can feel your eyes looking at my y back. Maybe the title of Sneaky Kyuhyunnie isn’t right for me anymore. Do you want me to relinquish the title of being sneaky to you?” He said.

“I wasn’t looking at your back! And what’s taking you so long?!” I answered back.

“Why? You already miss me, baby?” He asked then laughed.

“Baby? Tss.. Here we go again...” I said then rolled my eyes.

“Baby, indeed! I just can’t resist calling you baby anymore. I’ll just come up with a better nickname once we become a couple. Hmmm, maybe wifey would suit you?” He said and he continued to laugh.

“Wifey?! I’m not a girl, okay!?” I retorted back.

“Well, when you’re with me, YOU ARE!” He said then he opened the door.

I looked at his new shirt and my jaw dropped.

“Like my shirt?” He said with that deadly smirk.

“Why the hell did you have that made?!” I asked.

His shirt was color white with the words” little, cute and blushing <3 RW” printed on it.

“What’s so wrong?! I at least have this shirt in 5 different colors and I have another 7 extra pieces of this shirt because I will use it as the shirt that I would wear when I go to sleep!” He replied back.

“What?! You even wear it when you go to sleep!?” I asked in bewilderment.

“Of course! So that I could dream of you all the time!” He replied with a laugh.

“You know what a proper name is for you? Obsessed Kyu!” I replied.

“Obsessed Kyu…hmmm.. That’s good! At least now, you know how to make sensible nicknames! Plus, I love it since it’s the first nickname that you actually made for me!” He said then sat down beside me.

He placed his arms around my shoulders but I immediately stood up to prevent it from happening.

“Typical Wookie.” He said then he stood up.

“ for you then! Can we please start recording now?! I can’t resist it anymore! I want to sing to the microphone already!” I said with a little jump.

“So cute!!” He said then he pinched my cheeks.

“Ouch!” I winced in pain.

“Okay, you go inside while I do the controlling here.” He said then I immediately ran inside.

When I got in, my jaw dropped and my eyes were scanning this sacred place carefully.

“Are you ready, Wookie?” I heard his voice from the speakers inside the room. I looked at him and saw that he was speaking through the microphone from the outside. I may seem like a total weirdo but I still find every detail of this recording studio magnificent.

“What song should I sing?” I asked him. 

“Uhhh.. do you know the song Let’s Not?” Kyuhyun asked.

“Yeah, definitely. One of my favorites.” I happily said.

“Great! I’ll play the minus one through the headphones. You can position yourself now, baby!” He said with excitement.

“I’m not gonna react anymore.” I said and made my way to the microphone then I grabbed one of the headphones that were placed on top of a table at the side of the microphone.

“That’s the spirit, baby! You can just choose any of the headphones since it all works.” He said then I composed myself in front of the microphone.

“Should we start?” I asked. My legs were shaking a little and my palms were sweating like crazy. I intertwined my hands together and I kept squeezing to release tension.

“Ready in 3, 2, 1..” His voice faded and the minus one started to blast from my headphones.

You can do this, Wookie! Just let the singing god in you unleash itself. After a few seconds, I started singing.

Ee soongani majimagirago geutorok saranghan geudaegaeh neon dolliryeo haedo woolmyeo maedallyeodo geunyang shirhdamyeo heyeojimeul marhan naya

Throughout the song, I closed my eyes, too afraid to meet Kyuhyun’s eyes. I know that he sings better than me that’s why I don’t want to be judged. 

Dashin na gateun saram saranghaji malgo dashin geuriweohal saram mandeulji malgo neoman barabogo neo anim an dwaeseo harudo mot beotil mankeum saranghaejooneun saram manna

After singing a few lines, I realized I was overflowing with emotion which helped me sing the song. So far, I think I was doing great since I haven’t done any mistakes yet.

But my heart suddenly started to beat faster when I reached the bridge. Oh God, help me.

I opened my mouth so I could start singing the bridge of the song but the minus one suddenly stopped playing.

“What happened?” I asked myself. I removed my headphones then I slowly opened my eyes.

I saw a figure standing right in front of me. My vision was still blurry since I closed my eyes for a long time but I’ am absolutely sure that I know who that guy was.

“What are you doing, Kyuhyun?” I said lightly.

“Shh.. don’t spoil the moment..” He said as he kissed two of his fingers then he placed those two fingers on the surface of my lips. His eyes were looking intently at mine and he was serious, no smiles, no smirks and no laughs. 

Did we just have an indirect kiss?

“Wha—“I was cut off when Kyuhyun talked again.

“I said hush baby, just do as I say.” He said then he moved even closer to me. To be exact, our bodies were only a few inches apart.

He grabbed the headphones that I was holding onto and then slowly, he placed it on my ears. After doing that, he grabbed another one from the table and he wore it as well.

“When I play the music, continue singing, okay?” He said then he took out a remote control from his pocket, pressed a button and the minus one started to play again.

“Sing.” He mouthed then finally, he flashed a warm smile that melted my heart.

Eonjenga woori heyeojimeul hoohwehandaedo ibyeol bakkeneun nan haejoolge eobseo Jinan shiganeul semyeo apa woolji malgo 

I started to sing again, really feeling the song since I was standing next to the man that totally has no idea that I like him.

In a few seconds, he leaned closer to the microphone and together we made music magically happen.

Even though I can’t hear the harmony of our voices right now, knowing he was singing with me once again was enough to make me go crazy. 

Jinan babo gateun sarang geuriweo malgo neoman barabogo neo anim an dwaeseo harudo mot beotil mankeum saranghae jooneun saram manna jebal haengbokhagireul doo beon dashineun majoochiji malja

We sang the remaining parts of the song together. I couldn’t help but feel butterflies on my stomach as the song faded out. 

I was smiling like an idiot because I just fulfilled one of my dreams! Nothing can beat my happiness at this moment. 

I looked at my side and saw that Kyuhyun was slowly removing his headphones then he returned it on top of the table. I don’t know why but when he was moving slowly, I found it seductive. Control, Wookie! Concentrate!!

My hand touched my headphones so I could remove it already but Kyuhyun leaned closer and he placed his hands on top of mine. Together, we removed my headphones slowly then he hooked his arms around my neck and I felt a ticklish feeling that made me smile a little. The look on his face made me do nothing. I was out of words and all I can do is stare at his beautiful features.

“Kyuhy—“ I wasn’t able to finish my sentence since he leaned his face closer to mine and next thing I knew, our lips touched once again. This was the second time for this day and I clearly have no objections.

His kiss wasn’t harsh anymore; maybe he was just mad at me a while ago that’s why he kissed me aggressively. But this was different, totally different in a million ways. One, his kiss was very slow and soft. Two, I let him kiss me by not fighting back or pulling him away from me. And the most important reason, I think I responded to his kiss for the very first time. I wasn’t sure if I did but if ever I really did it, I’m sure that I responded for like 2 seconds only. I felt his lips form a smile even though he was kissing me. 

It went on a little longer but I already pulled away. 

The reason? I was out of breath. 

“Wookie, you’re so cu—“ Kyuhyun started to talk but I cut him off.

“NO!!!!!!!!!! DON’T EVEN MENTION A SINGLE WORD!” I shouted with my head bent down. I was embarrassed and I am certainly sure that I was blushing like crazy now.

I heard him laugh and I just busted out the door and made my way to the restroom at the end of the 3rd floor of this building.

When I was inside, I got out my phone and immediately called Hyukjae.

“Hello? Wookie! How’s everything with Kyu?” He answered the phone happily.

“It’s great, I have to admit but I did something that I thought I couldn’t do!!” I was practically shouting.

“Wookie! What did you do!? Don’t tell me you him!?” Hyukjae’s voice got louder.

“ERT! I wouldn’t do that in a million years! I’ll tell you the story from the start but you have to promise me that you will help me think of a solution because I am now hiding inside the restroom and thinking of a way to end my humiliation!” I explained.

“Whoa, Wookie. Take a deep breath. You sound like a dog panting like crazy. Why is your breathing like that?!” He asked.

“Oh just listen to the story!” I said then I started to tell him what happened since we entered the recording studio.

While I was telling him the story as fast as possible, I only hear sounds like “ooooohhh”, “wow!” and “awesome” from him.

“Wait, what?! You responded to his kiss!? WOOKIE!” Eunhyuk said the words slowly to emphasize what he wants to say. After a few seconds, he started to laugh.

“WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING HYUKJAE!? I was expecting you to help me!” I was starting to whine.

“Okay, okay! Why do you need help exactly? Looking at the situation, you should consider yourself lucky because you already admitted it to him that you like him without even uttering words. The situation made things easier for you!” Hyukjae continued to laugh.

“HYUKJAE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND!” I groaned.

“Yes! I am. Okay, you do this. When you go out and he starts teasing you, pretend that you fainted.” He was struggling not to laugh.

“Was that suppose to be a joke?! A FAKE FAINT?! Really?! Is that all you can suggest?!” I complained.

“Blame it on too much dramas, Wookie! But trust me that technique would work! Just don’t pretend to be unconscious for a long time.. maybe 5 minutes the greatest.” He said.

“I’M NOT GOING TO DO THAT! I’LL JUST DO SOMETHING ON MY OWN!” I said and I was about to end the call when I heard Hyukjae shouting.

“YOU’LL THANK ME! REMEMBER! 5 MINUTES THE MOST!” He said then I ended the call.

What should I do? Should I just go out and pretend that nothing happened?! Will Kyuhyun play along? Knowing Kyuhyun, he will definitely not play along.

I took a deep breath, cleared my mind, fixed myself and took the courage to turn the door knob and leave the restroom.

“Hey…..baby…” I heard a seductive voice from beside me.

I bumped on the wall on the other side because of shock.

“What are you doing here?! ERT!” Suddenly, my mind wasn’t clear anymore. Images of us kissing a while ago kept on playing on my mind.

“What’s so ert in what I am doing?! And look who’s talking!? Starting to be a ert, Wookie baby? Responding to my kiss?” He said with his most deadly smirk and smug face.

Oh God. I knew this would happen. What to do?!

“You--!” I didn’t know what to do! I can’t think of anything but Hyukjae’s advice! 

Slowly, I blinked my eyes weakly and started to breathe heavily like I was silently panting and I made it happen. I started to fall on the floor, trying to be careful not to hurt myself.

“WOOKIE! Are you okay?!” My eyes were closed by I can certainly hear the tone of concern in his voice.

“Oh no! You fainted! What should I do? Hmmm.. once a person is unconscious… Oh! I know what to do to wake you up!” He said like a kid trying to play games. Why was his voice like that? It seems that his voice and words were too fake.

“Brace yourself, Wookie!” He said like a mother talking to her kid.

What was he gonna do?!

In just a moment, I felt a hand slipping under my head that served as a support and another hand intertwined with my left hand. What the hell was he doing?! As much as I want to stop this act, I want to stick to what I have done and don’t let my dignity fail me once again.

“I hope you wake up, Wookie! I know this will make you wake up faster than anything else!” He said.

Oh no! Was he going to ki—

Too late, he already did. Yet again, another kiss implanted on my lips and it’s the third time for the day. I opened my eyes immediately in shock and I started to rebel by moving my whole body. He left my lips, leaving a sweet taste, and I started to stand up.

“YOU WERE PLAYING WITH ME ALL ALONG?!” I screamed.

“If you were careful, you would have kept your voice down when you were asking useless advice from your so called best friend. Really, Wookie? You actually followed Hyukjae’s advice? I thought you didn’t want to?” He said with one raised eyebrow.

“WHY WERE YOU EAVESDROPPING ON OUR CONVERSATION!?” I retorted.

“It’s not called eavesdropping when you accidentally passed by and hear words you shouldn’t hear. Plus, it’s your fault for speaking too loud.” He said then shook my hair.

“Stop doing that!” I said then slapped his hand.

“Aggressive! Your learning, Wookie! And I must say that you’re not bad at all. If it was your first time to actually respond to a kiss then I should commend your good work! I’ll give it 8 out of 10.” He said then laughed.

“You!” I just said and bent down my head. Can someone just kill me right now so I could end this embarrassing moment with him?!

“Awww, you’re so cute! Let sneaky Kyuhyunnie hug you!” He said then attacked me with a hug from the back.

The memories of the incident in the school bathroom came flooding back again.

“Leave me alone!” I lied. To be honest, I like this kind of hug the best, especially when Kyuhyun’s the one doing it to me. It feels so comfortable but with a little thrill.

“You don’t mean that!” He said. Was he a mind reader?

“Yeah, I do!” I replied.

After a few seconds in staying in that position, I felt a hot breath against my right ear.

“Do you want to be 10 out of 10? Let’s practice then.” He whispered seductively with a low voice that made my knees weak and scream for support.

“Kyuhyun….” I wasn’t able to finish what I have to say because he interrupted me.

“I know, I know. I’ll let you go now! I’ll take you home this instant. Your parents might be looking for you already.” He said then released me from his comforting hug.

“Okay.” I simply replied with a stunned face.

“Oh and what dessert does your parents want? Let’s buy it on the way.” He asked.

“Uhh.. chocolate cake?” I simply said.

“Okay! Let’s go!” He said then pulled my arm.

Do you want to know why I was so absent minded when he released me? It’s because I wish he didn’t and why did he have to interrupt when I was going to say something? Does he know that I was going to tell him that I liked staying in that position? I was even gonna ask him to stay in that hug for a little longer.

You missed your chance, Kyuhyun.

Some other time, then. When I feel that it’s the right moment to say it.
