Chapter 5

This Certain Feeling

            “What’s with you? Why did you treat me for a coffee, Sehun?”

            “My wealth increased.” Sehun stirred his coffee. “I need to cut it down a little.”

            “Ouch.” Yixing’s feeling good so he just let Sehun say whatever he wants. “It must be hard to be rich.”

            “It’s fine.”

            “You don’t want to?”

            “Who doesn’t want to be wealthy?”

            “You have a point.” Yixing glanced at Jihye behind the counter, and the latter is grinning at him. It’s obvious that she is teasing him. He just smiled at her sarcastically. “So why aren’t you writing anything? Don't you have an inspiration?”

            “I don’t believe in inspiration when it comes to writing. I’m more of grounding my drive to write on my mood.”

            “Ah. We’re different. I based it on inspiration.”

            Sehun picked up his cup of coffee with so much elegance. Yixing is just amazed of all of Sehun's movements so he was just staring at him the whole time. Because it seems that Sehun never commits mistakes and if he does, that would be something worth seeing.

            “So you mean, you don’t have any inspiration that’s why you can’t write?”

            “Most likely, yeah.”

            “Where do you get your inspiration?”

            “Handsome guys, mostly.” Yixing looked at Sehun. He almost spat his coffee when he saw Sehun’s brown eyes. Then his heart went overdrive again. He looked at the potted plant near the entrance to shift his attention somewhere else as he quickly thought of an excuse. “But as of this moment, I can’t find a handsome guy so I can’t write yet.”

            “Why don’t you look around?” Sehun simply asked. “How will you write if you are not doing anything to solve your problem?”

            Yixing looked at Sehun. Because he was really surprised with what the younger had just said.

            “You don’t think I’m weird? I mean, he reason why I can’t write?”

            “No. Anyone has their own preference. If that’s the way you can write effectively, then it’s perfectly fine.” Sehun must have noticed that he is gawking at him. “What?”

            “Nothing…” Yixing just smiled. A smile that came from his heart. “You are the only one who doesn’t criticize me of that habit of mine. When someone asks what my inspiration is, they were just laughing at me or they just find me weird.”

            “They don’t know how a writer’s mind works. So just let them be.” Sehun put down his cup. “We are like that to them anyway. Sometimes, we see them as weird. The ones that can’t understand the weirdness of us writers, I mean.”

            Wasn’t that really sweet? Yixing is speechless. Because he doesn’t expect that he will see this side of Oh Sehun. Now, he doesn’t just admire Sehun’s looks, he admires his personality too.

            “You want another cup of coffee?’ He asked the other man. His voice is cheerful. “It’s on me this time.”

            “No, thanks. This is enough for me.” Sehun took a sip on his cup.

            “Cakes?” Sehun shook his head. “Massage?”

            As an answer, Sehun tapped his shoulder, indicating that he wants a massage. Yixing stood up energetically and flexed his fingers then stood behind Sehun.

            “Hard or soft?” But before Sehun can answer, he already massaged his shoulders. “You know what Sehun, you are a nice guy. Before, I thought that you don’t have any purpose in my life but to tease me.”

            “When did I ever tease you?”

            “If I tell you, this shop will close but I will not be finished yet.”

            “But this coffee shop is 24-hours open.”

            “Exactly.”

            Sehun looked up at him. Yixing was again entranced with his beautiful eyes of his, especially his eyes that seemed to be seducing him.

            “Did I offend you?” Sehun asked.

            Aaah! Don’t be too nice to me! “No.”

            “I’m sorry anyway.” He stopped massaging Sehun. But the latter just held his hands and placed it again on his shoulder. “Yixing.”

            Yixing just pulled his hands finally. He thought that Sehun will stop him. Good thing not because he isn’t that sure of what he’ll do if ever.

            “You called me by my name.”

            “Why are you surprised?”

            “You never called me by my name.”

            Sehun just shrugged, then turned to his coffee. “You don’t want it?”

            Does he not want it? That was the first time he ever heard his very ordinary name sound so special.

            “It’s okay—”

            “Go back to your seat, ugly. Your coffee is getting cold.”

            Ugly again. He frowned. He is annoyed with what Sehun is calling him. Even if how many times he reprimands him, Sehun will just call him that again. Sometimes it’s worse. So he is used to it by now.  He finally returned to his seat.

            “If you don’t want me to call you ugly, why are you not castigating me?” Sehun said.

            “I’m scolding you. You just don’t feel it.”

            “You must be lacking in effort.”

            “And what are you implying? That I like being called ugly?”

            “Yes.”

            “You’re crazy. Whose person wants to be called ugly?”

            “You.”

            “I’m not ugly!”

            “I like calling you ‘ugly’.”

            “You’re ugly too!”

            Sehun just smiled and turned his attention back to his coffee. Yixing just sighed. He gave up on castigating Sehun.

            “Yixing.”

            “Okay!” Yixing screamed when he heard his name being said in that way. “You can call me ‘ugly’ forever! As long as you want! I won’t complain!”

            Sehun winced. “You don’t have to shout, you know?”

            “Okay!”

            “Hey, ugly. You want an inspiration?”

            “Inspiration?”

            “Yes. You said that handsome guys are your inspiration, right?”

            “Yes.” Someone like you. “Why?”

            “I’m taking a short break, to get my mood to write again.”

            “Why? Where did your mood went?”

            “It went to Mars.” Sehun huffed in annoyance.

            “Really?”

            “Don’t be corny. I’m still explaining.”

            “You’re the one who’s corny. And a party-pooper too.”

            “Yixing.”

            “Okay!” He made a peace sign. “Please continue.”

            Sehun declined. And he didn’t say anything. Yixing became bothered. He was curious of what Sehun wants to say because it seems interesting. What should he do to make Sehun talk again and for his irritability to pass off?

            “Sehun.” He called. “You want me to massage you again?”

            “No, thanks.”

            “Sehun!”

            He and the younger looked at the direction of the person who called him. At the counter, where Jihye looked like she saw an apparition, stood three tall and handsome guys. Just like Sehun.

            The man who is leaning against the counter raised his hand as a greeting. “So you stay here, huh? No wonder we can’t see you at Exo Riding Club anymore.”

            “Why are you here, Yesung?”

            “Kyuhyun and Heechul told us that the coffee here is delicious.”

            Kyuhyun? Heechul? So these handsome guys know each other?

            “Sehun?” Yixing whispered. “Does all of your friends are like that?”

            “Like what?”

            “Handsome, tall, and rich?”

            “Yes.”

            “It must be nice to write a story about you. Imagine, a group of hunks. Do you have any sanctuary?”

            “Yes.”

            “Where?”

            “At Exo Riding Club.”

            “What’s that?”

            “An exclusive riding club in Incheon.”

            It seems that the place is really familiar. Yixing snapped his fingers. The renowned Exo Riding Club! He gave a once-over to the handsome guys near their table. “Are you a member there?” He asked Sehun.

            “Isn’t it obvious?”

            “Right.” Yixing cleared his throat and glanced at the newcomers. “”If there are a lot of them in Exo Riding Club, please bring me there sometime. Well, you even asked me if I want an inspiration, right? The answer is yes.”

            He doesn’t hear any answer from Sehun. So he smiled at one of the three guys when he waved at him.

            “Are you the new boyfriend of Sehun?”

            “No!” Yixing denied quickly. “I’m not his type. I’m ugly.”

            “I never said you’re ugly.” Sehun seriously said. “I only called you that as a name.”

            “Okay. Will you bring me to Exo Riding Club?”

            “No.”

            “You selfish man!”

            “You can bring him, Sehun.” One of the guys said. “So that another handsome guy will be added in the club.”

            “Yesung.” Sehun piped. “Keep quiet or I’ll tell Yuri-noona that you’re misbehaving again.”

            “Tell her, then.” Yesung turned to him. “So, how’s Sehun as a date? Is he—”

            “We are going, Sehun.”  Heechul and Kyuhyun pulled Yesung that is still taking. “Enjoy your day.”

            “See you at the club.”

            Yixing followed his gaze at the retreating men. His reaction is identical with most of the customers in the coffee shop.

            “There is God!” He heard one of the female customers said.

            Yixing just chuckled as well as the other customers. He excitedly looked at Sehun.

            “Se—”

            “No.”

            He already knows what he wanted to say? “Why not? We’re friends, right?”

            “Who told you that?”

            Yixing frowned. Why is he so grumpy today? “You’re not going to bring me there? Then why are you asking me if I want an inspiration? Who will you suggest to become my inspiration?”

            Sehun stayed quiet. Yixing eyes narrowed while looking at him. There’s some sort of excitement that he feels in his heart.

            “You…?”

            Sehun turned to him at last. “Yeah, right.”

            Then Sehun stood up and left him. He just looked at him, puzzled.

            Oh no, what happened? Why did he walk out? Did I say something wrong? I’m not ugly…

            “Zhang Yixing!” Jihye shouted from the counter. “Follow that handsome guy!”

            “Why?”

            “What ‘why’? I know that you are thinking of going in Exo Riding Club. I asked one of the handsome guys earlier. He said that your Sehun is a member there. Just follow him and don’t let him go. Because he is your only access to get in the club. And before I forgot, if ever you get there, don’t forget your smart friend who suggested using your Sehun to—hey, where are you going?”

            “I’m going to talk to someone else.”

            “Hey, don’t be like that!”

            “Bye.”

            “Yixing oppa! Please include me in your dreams of having a handsome boyfriend!”
