Turning
Only OneRyeowook had his first exam since his discharge from the hospital. He knew what this meant, another sleepless night going by. Many people assume keeping the title of first place is easy. That was complete BS. Ryeowook may have an easier life when it comes to simply studying and homework, but he made sure that he understood the topic back to back. He would look at the notes over a million times, take a bunch of practice quizzes online, find any information that could work for him. By the time he felt accomplished, it was already time for commute.
Kyuhyun was a prodigy. He was gifted with the knowledge of math and science. He aced every single test he took, but he couldn't care less if he was first place though. He had an easier time in school than Ryeowook. But was blissfully unaware about the troubles Ryeowook had in his mind about school and how much first place meant to him. Kyuhyun never asked about his family or his past, which was one of the reasons why Ryeowook was happy. He didn't think about the bad times. Plus, he had the suicide hotline to continue working there as well.
For the first time, Kyuhyun was so sure about asking Ryeowook out. He's been contemplating this for a while if Ryeowook would say yes, and about the bond they created. A bond takes weeks to grow, but breaking it can be done in seconds. But, Kyuhyun knew in his mind, this is all he ever wanted.
Ryeowook, busy with catching up with the school work, he stopped talking to Kyuhyun everyday, instead spoke to him on the weekends, spending every moment laughing and slowly falling in love without the other knowing. Ryeowook kept thinking "No, he doesn't like me. He just thinks of me as a younger brother. That's all it ever was, all it ever will be."
But, this week it was different. Kyuhyun saw Ryeowook being distant and looking around more often. "Ryeowook, are you okay?" Kyuhyun furrowed his eyebrows, staring at the latter. Ryeowook sighed "Yeah, it's just schoolwork. I've been really stressed out since I've been back." Ryeowook hated the fact he couldn't tell Kyuhyun about how school really means to him and how he just wanted to run home and study until his brain explodes. "Oh. Well do you want me to tutor you? It'll be fun and that means we can hang out more often." Kyuhyun was hoping that Ryeowook would open up to him more, he still noticed something bothering Ryeowok that he couldn't pinpoint. "Really, you would do that? Wouldn't I be just wasting your time?" Ryeowook slowly moved his hands. "Are you kidding me. When have you ever bothered me. For all I know, you changed my life. In a good way." Ryeowook felt like those were the words he needed to hear for the longest time. They stared at each other for a while, before Ryeowook signed "Anyway, I'll catch you later. I'll text you when we can study together. And again, I really appreciate it." Ryeowook stared at him once again, showing love and happiness in his eyes. Kyuhyun stayed at the cafe a little longer, touching his lower lip and still trying
