I chapter one I
a man of principle
kibum as usual woke up late that day , and didn't even have time to eat breakfast yet alone checking up the weather , he cursed his luck as he walked , no run , in the rain to make it to the bus stop , when he made it there , he was already soaked wet , having no time to even look at himself he took the bus , praying to god that the rain would stop by the time he reached his destination , but of course , it only got worse , it was after all December , he sneezed when he entered the big building , trying to find something to dry his wet clothes with , he entered the bathroom , and closed his eyes , praying that he does not look as y as he thinks , opening an eye , he cursed loudly , he looks worse than he even imagined , grabbing some tissues he cleaned his face and redone his eye liner , at least his face must look presentable , he felt like crying , why today of all days
knock knock
" come in "
a deep husky voice startled kibum , he let out a breath he didn't know was holding , looked at his wet clothes and straightened his back , he was presentable ... in a way , mumbling a *fighting* to himself , kibum entered the office of the director of one of the most known private schools in seoul , his resume was quite good , he worked in a lot of public and private school , and as a private tutor when he was only 14 , the students he taught would always score the best STA scores except for some who didn't really care about studying much , so he was confident
the office was not what kibum expected , it wasn't modern or fancy , it just looked cozy , with warm lightening , a huge desk was presented in the center of the room , a handsome young man was behind it , looking with a malicious smirk and a raised eyebrow at kibum who shifted uncomfortably at his stare , kibum's blond locks were a bit wet from the rain and his white shirt and jacket were clinging into his body , his rosy puffed lips opened and closed from running too much and the principle had to straighten himself in his seat and clear his throat before speaking
" please do take a sit Mr .. " the young man looked at the papers in front of him and added " kim kibum "
kibum sighed and took steps toward the sits , he looked at the fancy leather sit and then remembers his wet clothes , uncomfortably , he looked at the guy
" um .. I prefer standing .. sir "
" as you like kim kibum-ssi"
was the very first thought kibum had , so the fancy dude didn't want his chair to get wet , kibum would've sit there and smirk at the guy , only if he didn't want this job so badly
" so , kibum-ssi "
kibum looked at the guy who was reading his resume
" you have an impressive resume to say the least , but um , do you think you are suitable for the job , you are quit young , and as you can see , this school have been known for it's great records , I don't know if you have enough experience , and as i can see , you do not seem to , handle pressure ?"
the handsome guy said , with a smile decorating his red lips
omg , did he just say that , how come 4 years of teaching is not long enough ? talking about age ? did he even realize that he is TOO young to be the headmaster of this damned school , kibum cleared his throat , holding his urge to punch the dude
" how come sir ? "
"please call me jonghyun " his smile never fading jonghyun's lips he added " well , look at your condition ? do you always attend job meetings like this ? "
kim jonghyun straightened his back , looking at kibum from head to toe , making the latter bit his lip nervously
" I.. It's .. "
raising an eyebrow , jonghyun stood up and walked around the desk , and made few steps to stand now in front of kibum , and kibum noted that the jonghyun guy was a bit shorter than him , with broad muscled chest , wearing a fine black suit that looked really good on him to say the least
" kim kibum-ssi , I really do not think that having the opportunity to attend such a job interview , in this school , was easy for you , and here you are looking all wet from head to toe , not even apologizing or giving an explanation about such appearance , i'm a man of principal kibum sii , and i do believe that being well dressed and that first impressions are important , and to be honest , my first impression toward you isn't quit .. good , i do not think you are responsible enough for this job . "
jonghyun said smiling at the younger , he knew his words were harsh and he did actually feel a bit sorry about that , especially when he looked at kibum's eyes and saw the younger trembling lips , trying to hold his cry in front of him , he cleared hi throat and took two steps
" now if you excuse me , i have more auditions to make, with people who actually care about this job , we'll call you if needed "
........................................................
"what a ing , who does he think himself , how can he say that ? how the ? I MEAN ... are you even listening choi minho "
minho looked up from the tv and smiled nervously , his best friend have been nagging about this job interview for hours , he understand how much of an this kim jonghyun was , picture clear , but he have a soccer match to watch it's the ing real Madrid playing
" thanks a ing lot choi minho "
kibum said standing up from the dark blue couch he've been sitting on , how much he hated it's color , he seriously need to buy a new one
" come on kibum " minho whined throwing his arms up " you've been complaining for hours i mean what do you want me to do ? go kick the dude in the balls ?"
kibum sighed and sat back
" well i would totally appreciate that , but i just wanted you to listen , i HAD the worse ing day in my entire life and you are doing nothing but eating chips and watching stupid soccer "
" hey " minho protested showing the chips he was chewing making kibum grimace at the sight
" close your moth dear , I got my hair wet minho , you know what that means to me , and i all but attended the meeting to be scolded by some brat saying i was not presentable for his oh highness "
minho turned the tv volume up and winced when kibum pinched his arm
" why do you care much key , you can get into any ing school you want to work in so drop it "
kibum bit his lip and lied down on his bestfriend lap , minho sighed and started playing with kibum's blond locks , knowing that the older will sulk for the rest of the night if he wouldn't
" you know why minho ... "
" yeah , it is the school your mum taught in isn't it ? "
kibum just nodded with a sad smile , he really wanted to be in that school , so he can at least walk the same halls his mum walked , but the opportunity is gone because of bad luck and a ed up principle
" you know what i need ? " kibum looked up at minho eyes big and twinkling " alcohol "
minho sighed and turned the tv off , and kibum squealed before hugging him , the frog actually chose to accompany him to the night club rather watching his precious soccer match , and for this choi minho , that was something , kibum jumped from his lap and went to his room to change his clothes mumbling how much he love his best friend leaving a smiling minho on the coach , minho ruffled his hair and looked at the turned off tv sadly
" i'm sorry i betrayed you " he said dramatically whipping w fake tear
" YAH CHOI MINHO GET UP AND CHANGE "
" FINE STOP YELLING.. rude bastard even after all i've done for you "
minho mumbled before getting up and heading toward his room , ignoring a " i heard that choi , and that's no way to talk to a hyung "
he scoffed at the word hyung
............................................
minho parked the car outside of the MIROTIC club , key's favorite club , he chose to drive because he know the excited follow next to him will get too drunk to even be near people yet alone drive ,
as soon as kibum jumped out of the car , all the eyes were on him , minho wont deny , his bestfriend was too hot for his own good
kibum's blond locks were ruffled and messy in a y and neat way , he was wearing a black jeans that hugged his petite perfectly and that was ripped from all the right places , a dark gray baggy shirt that exposed his milky skin and collar bones to the eyes .
the smell of sweat and perfume filled their nostrils as soon as they entered the club , the music was too loud and made them both too excited kibum smirked at minho and blow him a kiss before running toward the dance flour , finding some of his friends and melting into the crowd dancing , minho shook his head with a smile and headed to the bar ,
" hey joon "
he said with a smile and joon smiled back mumbling a hey minho , while making a drink to a lady who was eyeing minho hungrily , minho just smiled at her politely and looked the other way , making joon chuckle lightly
" sorry lady he is taken "
joon said handing the girl her drink
" but i'm not "
he added with a wink , the girl scoffed and got up leaving a pouting joon , he looked at minho who was grinning at him stupidly
" why do they do that minho-ah "
" well they know you are a playboy joon-ah "
minho said with a smile patting is friend's back , before turning around trying to spot key , the guy was having the fun of his life , dancing with random people and rubbing against guys , his friend was really something , kibum was the type of guy who never knew what he wanted in his life and it made minho worried sick , he remembered how many times kibum decides for a path for his life , from a song writer to a lawyer to a rapper, and now a teacher , kibum tried them all , but the second things get a bit hard , the blond would give up and get depressed , and that's when he have to interrupt and collect kibum's pieces
minho sighed when his friend ordered the 4'th glass of ' the strongest joon can make' , the blond was by now a giggling mess , sitting on his bestfriend lap , jumping every now and then and mumbling nonsense
" you kn-ow w-what choi ? you really REAAALLLY are a good friend hehehe I LOBE YOU CHOI "
minho sighed and hugged back his giggly friend
" you're tickling me choiii "
kibum whined before jumping of his friend's lap , pouting and huffing
" you know how much i hate tickling maerong"
kibum said before sticking his tongue and sitting in his sit , almost falling into the ground but minho caught him , kibum smiled at his friend and hiccuped before lying his head on the counter
" give him some ice or coffee joon-ah i need to go to the bathroom , keep an eye on him "
kibum heard his friend say and close his eyes , hearing the loud music made kibum sick , the alcohol that was in his system didn't make the feeling go away , he raised his head feeling like if the flour would collapse on him , he took the iced water greatfully from joon and looked around deciding to focus on other people to forget his dizziness
kibum blinked , once , twice , a guy , kibum would recognize anywhere , was standing in front of him , wearing dark jeans and a simple tight black tee-shirt , it was the first time kibum see him wear something casual , and he doesn't know if it was the alcohol effect or the way the dude's muscles reacted as he talked to a girl , the same malicious smile was decorating his face and kibum remembered why he hated the guy
he felt anger rushing over his body making the blood in his veins boil , jumping off his seat , he barely kept his balance as he made his way toward the as he liked to call him
" so , what if , we continue our little chat ... in my place "
jonghyun said as he played with the red head , he didn't mind himself knowing her name , the girl giggled slightly and moved closer to him , linking her arms on each side of his neck , whispering a '' yes please " and jonghyun knew he won her for for the night
" oh look who is here , the himself"
jonghyun heard someone behind him saying , turning around , jonghyun surely did not expect to see the blond guy again , especially looking so damned y he must admit
kibum walked closer with a smirk , looking at the petite girl behind jonghyun who was nudging his side , telling him a ' who is he oppa ' and kibum wanted to scoff
" so how do I look honey ? am I presentable for such a place , to even be around your highness ? "
kibum asked trying his best not to seem too drunk
" you're drunk "
shrugging his shoulders kibum made few steps forward invading jonghyun's personal space
" so what ? oh , first impression "
kibum chuckled , running his hand up and down the older torso , not aware of the chill that run jonghyun's body by such an act , moving his head closer , he whispered on jonghyun's mouth , feeling his breath tickle his
" I already screwed that haven't I ? with being too wet for your liking "
moving the glass of water in his hand , kibum spilled it on jonghyun's shirt making the girl gasp , and kibum almost lost it when jonghyun just stared at him coldly not even reacting , he composed himself and whispered
" who is wet now huh "
jonghyun sighed and held kibum's hand that was tightened around and empty glass
" I repeat , you are drunk , so i'm going to let this pass "
the girl behind him stared and them confusedly , slowly losing his passion , jonghyun moved away a bit , but kibum clung into him , smirking , he looked at the girl behind him , faking a smile
" see that what happens when you leave your man in a club full of es , they try to steal him hun "
the girl gasped before hitting jonghyun's back and running away mumbling "a ing , and jonghyun lost it
" that's ing it "
he growled angrily holding kibum's arm tightly making the glass fall down and shutter before dragging him outside of the club
once they were outside , jonghyun released kibum's hand , throwing him in front of him making kibum lose his balance and fall down , and jonghyun almost felt guilty , almost
" what the douchbag "
kibum screamed loudly , rubbing his leg that was bleeding by now , stupid muscled boy , he slowly stood up and glared at him
" kim kibum sii "
" oh no here we go with your long speech so what now , did you not like my behavior ? i thought it was a good second impression "
jonghyun sighed pinshing the bridge of his noise , before starting again
" i'm really really still holding myself together because you're drunk and you can collapse any moment , see that's what i meant when i said you are not responsible , you really are just proving my point , and i do not appreciate you spilling water on me "
kibum looked at jonghyun and smiled a bit , before bursting out laughing , whipping a fake tear
" are you always this s-smart a-and serious ? or are you just mad for being called a ? "
kibum said with a smirk , he was so lightheaded and wanted to throw up but held everything in , wanting to just tease the guy in front of him
jonghyun stared borely at kibum who was having difficulties walking , and decided to ignore the fellow
" i do not have time for this , even if i want to beat the crap out of you , i want you to be conscious when i do that, so i can enjoy it "
jonghyun said and walked two steps forward before hearing a big thud , looking back he saw kibum on the flour , oh he finely lost conscious but it's none of jonghyun's business is it
but the thing is , jonghyun was a man of principals .
