Developing Friendships

Romantic Reflections

It was the second week now, a Tuesday. Tuesdays weren't so bad, Kibum preferred them over a Monday. As the professor droned on he scribbled notes in his notebook, resting his  head in his hand. Woohyun sat next to him, his body language suggested that he was giving 100% of his attention to the professor, but his eyes would stray over towards Kibum and linger on the side of his body.  There was something about the younger, dark haired male that  interested Woohyun. Maybe it was the way he dressed or the confident yet lacking way he carried himself. Or the way he smiled when he was teasing. Woohyun hadn’t known him for all that long, but he already had a pretty good reading on his personality and character. 

“I’ll be grouping you all together for this project.” The professor announces. Some students groaned, others cursed and there were others who just laughed as if they had given up. A group project in English couldn’t be so bad.. Kibum thought sitting up straight in his chair. “When I call your name I want you to get into your group.” The professor bellows and everyone quiets, waiting for their names to be called. Several names were called before Kibum heard his. “Group 5: Amber Liu, Kim Kibum and Nam Woohyun.” Woohyuns eyes light up and they look at each other simultaneously. Kibum felt a slight relief hearing the familiar sound of Woohyuns name. He was glad he was paired up with at least one person he knew. 

“Looks like we’re teamed together now, Bum.”

“Since when do you call me Bum?” Kibum asks, raising an eyebrow as if to jugde Woohyuns sudden friendliness. “Since last week when you called me Hyun.” Kibum laughs, rising to his feet and walking around his desk. “Who’s Amber though?.” Woohyun shrugs. “I think she’s new here like you.” Kibum nods, looking around. It wasn’t until she was standing right in front of him that he noticed her. “Right here.” She waves a hand in front of his face, stepping back when he looked down at her. She was dressed rather tomboyishly, if Kibum didn’t know any better he would have mistaken her as male. “Amber-ayoo~” She greets warmly. “You can call me llama if we become as close of friends as I hope.” Her smile was sweet and charming and Kibum felt an instant liking for her. “I’m Kibum.” He smiles at her and she smiles back. “Woohyun, over here.” Woohyun waves towards her and they sit in a row. Kibum in the middle, Amber on his left, Woohyun his right. 

"So,” Kibum pulls out the notes for this course, flipping to the page that had the project assignment. “We are to choose one of the classic Korean fables, translate it completely into English and then recite it.” Amber shrugs. “This should be easy, I grew up in California.” She switches to English. “I’ll take the speaking, you guys handle the translating.”

Woohyun nudges Kibum. “What’d she say?”

“You’re in English II you oughta know.” Woohyun leans back into his seat, crossing his legs and stating as if he hadn’t heard Kibums words. “But first we have to choose a fable.”

“Why not one of the common ones?” Amber asks, Kibum shakes his head. “Too expected, everyone’s going to be translating the ‘Ungrateful Tiger’ and etc. We should go for something historical.” Amber groans and Woohyun eyes Kibum intrigued by what he was saying. “I’ll look for one, okay? You guys just start practicing up on your English or whatever.” He gathers his books, pulling out his phone and reading one of the texts he had gotten from Jonghyun. Dino- How’s English? I’m in Algebra right now (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ save me Bummie (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)

Kibum cracks a smile at Jonghyuns use of the emoticons. He must have found a new app, he thinks with an amused grin. Putting his phone away, he looks up meeting Woohyuns eyes. He raises an eyebrow as if to ask, what? Woohyun smiles before stating. “I hear there’s a discount at the Starbucks for college students.” Kibums eyes widen and he almost lunges forward at Woohyun. “You’re kidding?”

“My credit card says no, I’ll buy for you.” Kibum stares at him, a slow, cute smile spreading across his cheeks. His eyes were sparkling now and Woohyun enjoyed the little stars in his brown irises. “Amber would you like something?” Kibum asks, turning to face her, she nods excitedly. “If he’s buying,” She gestures to Woohyun. “Hell yeah!” Kibum laughs watching as she grabbed her bag and bounded for the door. He slings his bag over his shoulder, sliding out his phone and saying to Woohyun. “One second.” Quickly he texts Jonghyun. I’m going to Starbucks with my group from English (。⌒∇⌒)。they’re both nice people, I’d like for you to meet them ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ) and see, I can use emoticons just like you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I think I use them better <( ̄︶ ̄)>

Putting his phone away with a faint laugh, he brushes past Woohyun. Of course he wouldn’t admit to Jonghyun that he had downloaded that app months before. 

The cafe was packed with other college students, their laptops covering almost every table in Starbucks. Amber weaves through the throng of people, finding a spot for them in the back of the cafe. “Tell me what you guys want and I’ll go get it.” Kibum offers as they sit down. “I’m paying though.”

“Of course you are, but I can at least go up and buy...using your card of course.” He smiles, opening his hand for Woohyun. Woohyun grins, sliding out his VISA and handing it to Kibum. “Thank you, now tell me what it is you’re in the mood for.”

“Hot cocoa for me.” Amber pipes in and Woohyun adds with a faint smile. “An espresso.”

“Got it.” KIbum rises from his seat, swiping his bangs back almost sensually. Woohyun stared at him, his eyes dancing across his face--lingering on his lips--until their eyes met. Kibum blinked at him, cocking a brow, wondering why Woohyun was peering at him in such a way. “I’ll be back soon.” He says, turning his back to them and walking away. Woohyun admired the way he walked, the style in which he wore his pants--nice and tight. Amber clears , eyeing him with a knowing smirk.  “Hey, Woohyun, are you gay?” Woohyuns eyes widen and then they relax. “The way you were staring at Kibum a second ago…” She trails off, waiting for him to fill in the blanks. He leans back in his chair, crossing his legs and stating. “If I see a male who happens to be well endowed in both aspects,” She snickers. “Why not follow it? If that makes me gay, so be it.” He folds his hands together on the table, saying in a whisper. “I’ve dipped my feet into that pond more than once, I’ve come to find out that I don’t mind getting my toes wet.” He winks at her, glancing back at Kibum who was talking animatedly with the cashier. His black hair bounced as he spoke and his hands gestured widely as the cashier nodded. Kibum sighed heavily, returning with a tray in his hands. 

He crumples into his seat, running a hand through his styled hair. “Here’s your card.” He grumbles, shoving the card into Woohyuns hand. “Something happen?” Amber asks, grabbing her cup of coca. It slightly burned her hand, she places it in front of her, waiting until it cooled to drink it. “Stupid, of a cashier.” He chewed on his bottom lip and Woohyun found another thing that he was attracted to about Kibum. His teeth gnawed on his lower lip and his tongue--pink and slim--flicked out to his lips. Woohyun his lips just as Kibum did, tearing his gaze away to look into his eyes. Those brown irises were on fire, gleaming with hatred. Pretty brown, deep brown. Woohyun felt hypnotized and he then wondered, how this man--no this 18 year old--could affect him in such a way. He’s so young, he’s so confident, he’s so gorgeous. “Woohyun are you listening?” Amber asks and he had been, he could multitask when someone interested him. “You should go ask for a free cheesecake.” He comments and Kibums eyes brighten, his face glowing. “That’s not such a bad idea.” He jumps up from his seat and Woohyun watches him with an amused gaze. “Thank you, Hyun, now watch as I go make that give me a free cheesecake.” Woohyun salutes him. “No problem, Bum.” And so Kibum walked away, brushing past Woohyun and towards the cash register. Woohyun got a whiff of Kibums scent. Spicy and fiery. Woohyun wondered if he could turn that spicy scent sweet.
