Truancy

Difficult love.

  You woke up early in the morning and left a note on the table because you were meeting Kai in school.

  'Oppa, I'm going to school first. I've got some work to do. I've made breakfast. Heat it up in the microwave if you want it hot. See you in school.'

  You got out of your house as soon as you were prepared and left for school, to meet your boyfriend, Kai.

--------------------

  "Oppa!" You called out as you ran towards Kai. He smiled and walked towards you. 

  "Oppa!" You called out once again and ran into his embrace.

  "Woah." He stepped back a little as he ruffled your hair gently. Thank god your hair was still wet, so you didn't tie your hair or he would have messed up your hair. You hugged onto him tightly, breathing in a whole lot of his cologne. 

  "Oppa, your cologne's nice." 

  "And your shampoo's nice." He chuckled.

--------------------

  "Oppa, you know.." You started drawing circles with your legs with your head hanging low. "You know.." You couldn't bring yourself to tell him about the fact that Jongup had found out about both of you. Somehow, you were afraid he would leave you.

  "Hey sweety, what's wrong?" He lifted up your chin so that you were looking up at him. "Come here." He pulled you over to a random bench in your school garden.

  As it was still early in the morning, the teachers were in the staff room, carrying out a meeting and so, all the other people in school were either cleaners or nerd students studying in school. Other than that, the school was quite empty and of course, your secret hangout place was more than empty. There were only both of you in the garden.

  He patted the space beside him. You sat on the space as he crossed his legs and faced you. You mirrored his actions. "Mind telling me what happened?" He curled a loose strand of your hair behind your ear but you didn't speak. 

  "It's alright if you don't want to tell me though." He forced a smile and you could tell that he was upset.

  "No, I would tell you." Kai gave you an assuring nod, telling you to go on.

  "I guess Jongup found out that we're together." You sighed and continued. "And.. I'm afraid you would leave me because I'm afraid Yongguk oppa would skin you alive if he found out. Your head dropped low again as you whispered.

  "Hey, sweetie 3.142." Kai chuckled a little. "I-"

  "Wait, what does that mean?" You looked up at Kai and frowned your eyebrows. Kai paused and gave you the 'Are you sure you don't know?' look.

 

  "Don't you learn maths? Gosh. You got an A for Mathematics? Like really?" Kai joked. "Hey, I do learn maths." You pouted. He chuckled again and explained. "Pi equals to 3.142, right? So, I called you sweetie 3.142 which means sweetie pie." He winked. "Ah I see." You scratched your head sheepishly. "Silly Billy." He caressed your cheeks tenderly. 

  "Alright, let's get back to our topic. I mean, that's what you're worried about? I'm so disappointed. You don't understand me at all." This time, it was him who was looking down. "I would risk anything for you and yet you don't know." You could sense that he was really disappointed but you couldn't help it.

  "Because the last thing I want to do is to get you hurt." You admitted, scooting closer to him. "I would do anything for you. And I mean everything, so that you would remain safe. And that includes my life." You wrapped your arms around his waist, leaned your head on his chest and closed your eyes. He ran his hands slowly through your hair. "I'm sorry babe." He whispered. "I'm sorry too." 

  "As long as we love each other, no one can separate us. Right? You wouldn't leave me, would you?" He stopped running his fingers. "Of course not. I would never leave you." You shook your head with your eyes still closed. "Neither will I." Kai kissed your temple.

  After a few minutes which seemed like seconds to you, you finally pulled away. You gazed at him. "Oppa, I think we should admit that we're dating. To my brothers. There's no point lying. I thought it would be alright as long as we don't say it but I guess I was wrong." You propped your elbows on your leg where your chin rested on your palms.

  "I'm fine with it. I don't mind telling your brothers. And that includes being skinned alive." You cringed at that sentence. "I don't mind doing anything for you. And no matter what, no one can separate us, right?" He took your hand and placed it on his chest. "Can you feel it? It's beating for you and you only." A tear trickled down your cheeks as you were comforted by his gesture. 

  "Yes, no one can separate us. We're going to go through thick and thin together and promise me you're not going to leave me." You held out your pinky and waited for him to hook it. "Of course." He hooked your pinky tightly and wiped your tear with his other hand.

  Soon enough, the bell rang and it was time to go back to class. "Come, let's go to class." Kai stuck out his hand but you didn't take it. You stared at his awkward hand and then at his awkward face.

  "Oh, right.." He dropped his hand back to his side slowly but you caught his hand before it dropped, "Oppa, why not we play truancy?" You raised your eyebrows in excitement and gave him a slight smirk. Just the thought of it made you really excited. The reason being, firstly, it's your first time doing it and secondly, you're doing this first time with your precious one. 

  "That's not a very good idea.." Kai shook his head but you could tell that he was equally excited. 

  "Come on oppa. You should be able to get us out of this school easily since this isn't your first time." You partially tried to convince him and partially . His cheeks flushed a light red. "You sure you want to do this?" He asked you and you nodded.

--------------------

  "Whew. That was close." You took deep breaths as you panted. Kai leaned on the concrete wall and took deep breaths just like you did. "That new security guard sure is on the look out for students who skip school." You chuckled and approached Kai. 

  "Come, oppa. There's a bright day ahead of us." You took his hand and gripped on to it tightly, not planning to let it go anytime. Kai looked at your hand locked with his then at you, and smiled, gripping your hand equally tight.

--------------------

  "Ah." He opened his mouth like you asked him to and you fed him the mouthful of spaghetti which was curled onto the fork. His eyes formed a line as he chewed onto the creamy pasta. 

  Both of you were at your favorite pasta restaurant. You were indecisive at first, not knowing where to go but the answer was obvious when your stomach started growling. 

  "Oppa, you've got something here." You pointed to the right corner of your lips. "Here?" He pointed to the left side of his lips instead. "No, here." You took the napkin on the table and cleaned the sauce on his lips. "There you go." You smiled.

  "Come, your turn." He curled a mouthful of the tomato-based spaghetti on the fork, a smaller portion than what you gave him just now. "Say ah." You opened your mouth widely and he fed you the spaghetti. 

  He wiped the sauce off your lips with his thumb. "Silly girl." 

--------------------

  "Oppa, we should take some pictures with my polaroid!" You pulled out the Polaroid Yongguk had bought you on your birthday. "Tadah! Come here, oppa." You pulled him closer to you. "Let's do a normal one first. 1. 2. 3!" You smiled widely and snapped.

  The picture came out slowly from the top of the camera. "Wah, oppa. It's so pretty." You held the picture and admired it. "It sure is pretty." He leaned towards you and hugged you by your waist. "Especially me right?" You joked as you tilted your head up to look at him, expecting him to say yes. "Of course. It's my prettiest baby." He kissed your temple and agreed though he didn't even see the picture. He knew it would come out well. And needless to say, to him, you're the prettiest.

  Kai then took hold of your camera and started taking candid shots of you before taking pictures of both you and his silly faces together.

--------------------

  An hour later, both of you arrived at a beach as the urban area was way too noisy.

  Kai pulled you close to him. He stretched his right arms and encircled it around your waist as both of you strolled down the rocky path.

  Couples were everywhere, mostly adults because students were in school. Unless they played truancy like you and Kai did. 

  The couples everywhere were holding hands and indeed, they looked really happy but compared to you and Kai, they were nothing. Reason being, both of you are the happiest couple on Earth.

  "Sweetheart, shall we go nearer to the waters?" Kai mumbled into your hair again. You nodded, chuckling a little.

  "What?" Kai blinked innocently at you.

  "Oppa, you like to smell my hair huh? Next time I'm gonna use poo shampoo. And I hope you faint, smelling it next time." You stuck your tongue out teasingly at him. 

  "I can't help it. You smell really good. And yes, you can use poo shampoo. But can you find it?" Kai copied you, sticking out his tongue as well. 

  "Fine, you win. Don't smell my hair then." You pushed him away and escaped from his embrace. 

  "Come back here Lee ~~~!" Kai hollered as he chased after you. "Ahh!" You screamed as you ran as hard as you could but of course, you couldn't run as fast as Kai could. 

  "Caught ya!" Kai caught you from the back in no time and lifted you off the ground. "Eek!" You squeaked as Kai started spinning you around. In short, he was a faster version of merry-go-rounds. You grabbed onto his arms tightly and started kicking your legs as laughter filled the beach.

  "Alright alright." Kai laugh as he settled you down on the floor gently. However, as soon as your legs touched the ground, you thought of an idea. You shoved him hard on the ground, leaving him blank and shocked. 

  "Wh-" Kai gawked at you, speechless.

  "That was for you spinning me around! Don't worry, my brothers get that often too!" You smirked and ran away from him.

  "Great." Kai rolled his eyes. You ran fast. "Ha-" Before you could laugh at Kai, who was speechless on the ground, Kai was nowhere to be found. You scratched your head. "Hmm.. Where did that boy go to?" You turned and looked around and saw Kai behind the tree. Half of his body was behind the tree, the other half, you could see him. *Gosh. Is he so childish?* 

  You pretended you didn't know he was hiding behind the tree. You sat down on the greens near the sand with your back facing the tree he was hiding behind. "Just come out already. Maybe you should start considering to lose weight because you're too fat to hide behind the tree." You shrugged your shoulders casually.

  "Man!" You heard Kai's groan and slightly turned back to see him. "Maybe I should really start to lose weight." 

  You chuckled at his comment. "I was just kidding, oppa. Unless you're abnormally skinny, you wouldn't be able to hide behind that tree." 

  "Your mouth is just so sweet." He squatted beside you and gave your lips a tender kiss before lying down on your lap. 

  "~~~ baby, you're so pretty." He smiled but his eyes were squinted due to the bright sun.

  "Bootlicker." You used your right hand as a shade to prevent the sunlight from getting his eyes squinted before sticking out your tongue at him.

  "Really!" He argued as he held onto your hand. 

  "Okayokay." You gave in to the stubborn boy, laughing.

  For the rest of the afternoon, you sat there and Kai laid on your lap, sharing sweet kisses and conversations. Both of you had burgers for dinner and eventually decided to take the ferris wheel.

--------------------

  "Oppa, look at that. It's so pretty. I've never been in there before. I mean, okay. Once. Only once. And it was with Daehyun oppa. Only he was willing to sit with me because the other oppas think it's too childish and gay to sit on there." You pouted, pointing to the huge ferris wheel that was lighted up in blue and white. 

  "Anything for you, baby. I don't mind being childish. I don't mind being gay. As long as it's for you, I'm willing to. I've never been in there before not because I find it childish or whatever, but I think it would only be meaningful if I sit in there for the first time, with my love. And that's you, my sweetie girl." Kai bent down and gave you a peck on your lips.

  "Thank you oppa. For loving me so much." You returned him a quick peck on his lips and smiling after you pulled back.

--------------------

  "Oppa, you sit there and I sit here." You pointed out that both of you should sit opposite each other in case the capsule becomes lopsided. "But I want to cuddle with you." He whined. "N. O. No, oppa. I'll be scared if it's lopsided." You were firm at first but it soon became a cute pout because you knew that that was the only way that could convince him further. 

  "Excuse me, both of you have to get in now. We're waiting." The woman behind said. 

  "Sorry." Both of you bowed and apologized. Kai turned to you and mumbled, "Fine." "Good boy." You gave him a quick hug and both of you got into the capsule.

  "Great." Kai sulked and sunk in the cushion seat. "Oh come on, don't be like that, oppa." You settled your bag on the right corner of the seat and sat beside your bag. 

  He looked at you then jerked his head to the side and crossed his arms like a grumpy kid who just got scolded by his mum. 

  "Hmph. Childish." You scoffed and decided to ignore him since you knew he wouldn't be angry for long.

  "Wah.. This is so pretty." You placed your fingertips on the cold, misty glass and exclaimed at the breathtaking night scenery. Kai looked at your innocent side and softened immediately.

  "This is not my first time playing truancy but this is sure my first time having so much fun because the time I'm spending with is you, my precious baby." He stood up and sat beside you. You would have protested but you didn't because you couldn't be bothered even if the capsule was really lopsided, you realized that as long as Kai was with you, anything was fine with you. 

  You gazed into his eyes as he did the same. None of you were willing and none of you could break the contact. "Love is like a ferris wheel. We will experience ups and downs but as long as we're together, we'll pull through it." Kai caressed your cheek.

  Kai slowly leaned in closer to you, so close that both of you were only inches away. He wrapped his arms around your waist and you wrapped yours around his neck without breaking  the eye contact. You just couldn't look away. *I've never realized this before. She has really pretty brown eyes.*

  This time, you pulled him by his neck, even closer to you such that your nose was touching his and you could feel his breath. You brushed your lips slightly against his before he crashed his lips onto yours and it didn't take long for Kai's tongue to start roaming in your mouth. 

  "I love you, my baby ~~~." Kai pulled away slowly as he enveloped you in a tight and warm hug. "I love you too, oppa." You gave him a peck on his right cheek and both of you sat there as one, admiring the night view of the city.

--------------------

  "Haven't your brothers called you?" Kai swung your hand. 

  "I've not checked yet." You rubbed the back of your neck sheepishly with your other free hand.

  "They must be really worried right now." Kai shook his head. "I'm really afraid you would get into trouble." Kai looked down at you, his face shadowed in concern.

  "It's alright, oppa. I'll deal with it." You gave him an assuring smile. Because of the cold weather, you blew air onto your hand, hoping it would make you warmer. Just as you did that, Kai took your hand that was locked with his, and slipped it into his uniform coat's pocket. "It might not be warm enough but I hope it would make you at least a little warmer." Kai gave you a warm smile. "Everything and anything you do, oppa, makes my heart warm." 

--------------------

  In a blink of eye, both of you were approaching your house.

  *Who's that there?* Your eyebrows pinched in curiosity. 

  "It's Daehyun hyung there." Kai recognized Daehyun immediately as he pointed to the figure outside your house. You nodded in agreement. It was easy to tell. Daehyun had unique features that you could easily differentiate from others. 

  Kai tried to pull his hand away from yours when he saw Daehyun looking in your direction but you grabbed it back and held it even tighter. "But.. Daehyun hyung?" "Shh." You placed your finger on his lip and at your touch, he stopped breathing for a moment.

  "Why are you out here, oppa?" You asked Daehyun, not knowing why he was outside the house when it was cold outside.

  "That's a question for you." Daehyun pushed himself off the pillar with his arms crossed. His eyes were sending off a killer glare.

  "I-" You wanted to argue but you stopped. "Oppa, I'll see you on Monday. Go home first alright?" You pulled your hand out of his pocket slowly. "Alright. See you girl." He kissed your forehead and left.

  "Oppa, let's go in." You took out the house key from your bag but Daehyun caught your hand.

  "Did you skip school because of that guy?" Daehyun's eyes pierced through your soul.

  "That guy, has a name. And yes, I went out with Kai." You didn't know why but you were very protective all of a sudden.

  "And you're not guilty or something? You sound like you did nothing wrong!" Daehyun was getting louder and louder each time he spoke.

  "Why should I be?! I don't see anything wrong with being with the one I love!" You started choking on your tears but you held them all back. 

  "Okay, stop. We'll talk later. When we go in, I'm going to say that we played truancy together. You owe me one." His words were firm and he grabbed the key from your hands and unlocked the door.

  When the both of you stepped into the house, it was pitch black. *It's either they're not back yet or they're somewhere in there. Most probably, they're waiting for us in there.* Your hand reached out for the lights.

  -Switch-

  Your five brothers were sitting on the sofa with their arms and legs crossed.

  "Explanations?"
