Waiting for You

Y A O I —oneshot portfolio - Editing

 


Kai was introduced to the photo shoot team one-by-one. He bowed and greeted them with a warm smile.

"Where is the cameraman? He should be the one I should be greeting first," Kai said with confusion.  

"He is here."

Kai turned around to lock his eyes with a cute innocent looking kid. His eyes moved down to his clothing sense. Kyungsoo wore a casual black short sleeved top with blue jeans.

"I'm sorry I'm late, needed to add finishing touches to another artist's photos," Kyungsoo quickly explained before looking away.

Kai shook his head, "It's totally fine. I just wanted to introduce myself to you first. Hi, I'm Kai. Please take care of me."

Kyungsoo went pink but hid it behind his camera. He observed the way Kai was dressed and blushed harder. Kai wore a blue ed shirt with black jeans. His hair flying wild as the fan behind Kyungsoo was . Kai started posing.

"Good pose," Kyungsoo complimented.

Kai smiled under his breath and began to do poses that weren’t seen by any other, before. He didn't know why but he really wanted Kyungsoo's attention. However, he didn't know he already had it.

The time ticked and Kai was on his last pose. He began to rub his thumb against his bottom lip pose which made Kyungsoo's eyes widen behind the camera. Kyungsoo would call it the 'would you kiss me?' look. Kyungsoo suddenly straightened and continued to act normal.

"Thank you for that! You did great and it was a pleasure working with you," Kyungsoo said with a smile. "I will have your photos ready for tomorrow. Do come and collect it."

"I'll send one of my employees over."

Kyungsoo’s heart squeezed a little, he didn’t know why.

"Could I have your number? To make sure you have them ready?" Kai wanted a way to ask for Kyungsoo’s number, so he used the way usually uses.

Kyungsoo nodded and handed over his number.

Kai gave him a warm smile before leaving.

 

That night, Kyungsoo was going through the pictures. It switched to that look he gave at the end. Kyungsoo's cheek immediately turned red. He couldn't help but smile. He did his best as he possibly could with Kai’s photos.

 

That night Kai laid him bed thinking about Kyungsoo. He caught the way Kyungsoo blushed at his pose. He couldn't help but laugh.

 

The next morning, Kai woke up and decided to get his photos. He texted Kyungsoo, saying, “Hey, it’s Kai. Are the photos done?” and he got a reply almost instantly.

To: Jongin

Yup, do send someone to collect it.

From: Kyungsoo

 

To: Kyungsoo

Awrh, everyone is busy. It seems like I have to come myself.

From: Kai

Kai smiled as he sent the text.

Kyungsoo sent him the address.

Kai knocked on the door and Kyungsoo opened it. They greeted each other. Kai took a seat while Kyungsoo went to get a drink with the photos.

Kai flicked through them and his eyes widened at each photo.

"What do you think? Are they ok?"

Kai nodded eagerly. "There are amazing!" he whispered.

"Really? I’m glad you lik-," Kyungsoo was interrupted by Kai's stomach.  

Kai looked up from his stomach and smiled. "Well, now that I am here and it's nearly lunch. Wouldn't you make the guest something?"

Kyungsoo smiled, "Of course. I will make something as soon as I can." He rushed off. He accidently dropped his phone on the floor. Kai picked it up and saw his picture was saved as Kyungsoo's background. Kai blushed and dropped the phone on the floor. His inside felt happy. He felt enlightened. He walked into the kitchen and saw Kyungsoo working so hard.

"Here, let me help," Kai offered.

Kyungsoo smiled.

They both cooked and lunch was ready in no time. But suddenly the light turned out. Kyungsoo waked his head and cussed the light. "I got candles don't worry," he reassured before going to get it. He lit them and placed them on the table. "Let's eat!" The red wine was also out and everything seemed perfect. Kai kept remembering the photo on Kyungsoo's phone and smiled.

"Uhm, Kyungsoo?"

"Yeah," he replied.

"Awrh, it's nothing." Kai wanted to tell Kyungsoo, but couldn't.

 

They ate lunch.

“So, tell me a little about yourself.” Kai urged, trying to break the silence.

“Um, what do you want to know?” Kyungsoo asked.

“Anything. How old are you? Why did you want to go into photography?”

“I’m nineteen. I was six when I found interest in taking pictures. My parents took me to this garden where I saw a butterfly sit on a flower. It was a beautiful site so I took a picture. It didn’t come out as great but I wanted to improve so I worked harder. I began to focus on photography than on studies. At the age of fifteen, I took my first perfect picture of my parents. Unfortunately, they died a few weeks later in a car crash,” Kyungsoo paused. Tears ran down his cheeks.

“I’m sorry for your lose,” Kai looked down. He couldn’t eat anymore. He placed his fork down on the desk and looked up again. “I grew up without a mother,” he whispered. “My father was always on business trips and all. I was always alone,” he forced a smile.

Kyungsoo felt bad. He always thought it was only him going through a lot of pain. He never realized other people have sad pasts as well.

The mood was a little off. Neither of them ate nor talked. It was just the silence and the mere presence of each other that comforted them.

After a couple of minutes Kai said, “anyways, that was all in the past. Let’s move on, ok?”

Kyungsoo nodded. He wanted to say the exact words.

“So, knock knock?”

Kyungsoo giggled, “Who’s there?”

“You are actually playing along?” Kai was shocked.

“Isn’t that what I was meant to do?”

“Of course. Uhm, the problem is I didn’t think of a joke,” Kai laughed.

Kyungsoo joined in. The rest of the evening flew by with laughter and giggles.

"I'll be going now," Kai said with a frown.

"Yeah, see you soon," Kyungsoo quickly said.

"Could we meet tomorrow?"

Kyungsoo nodded. "Where?"

"Coffee shop?" They made the arrangements and Kai left.

 

Few months past by... Kyungsoo and Kai began to realize their feelings for each other. Kai texted Kyungsoo willing to tell him how he feels.

 

To: Kyungsoo

Can we meet tomorrow? At the same coffee shop. I have something I have to say.

From: Kai

 

To: Jongin

Sure. How about around nineish?

From: Kyungsoo

To: Kyungsoo

Great. See you, then.

From: Kai

Kyungsoo fell asleep as soon as he reached home.

The manager woke him up the next morning.  

"Yah, Kai! Wake up, it's important," the manager screamed.

Kai opened his eyes, "What is it?"

"You have to fly to London for an interview! Hurry and pack! Hurry!"

"Fine fine," he said waking up and heading towards the bathroom to take a shower. He took a shower and got dressed.

He was taken to the flight. As soon as he got on, he switched his cell-phone off. The flight took off and Kai suddenly remembered the date he made with Kyungsoo.

 

Kyungsoo waited at the coffee shop but Kai didn't seem to turn up. He texted him and waited but there wasn't a reply. He tried calling and the phone was on switch off. Kyungsoo's heart felt broken. He decided to wait longer.

The coffee waitress walked towards in. “Sir, it seems like you are the only want left in this cafe. Would you like to watch some T.V. while you wait?”

Kyungsoo looked up and smiled, “Yes please.”

The lady the T.V. and realized Kai was on T.V. He was amazed.

"We are currently with Kai and he is eager to say something before we start the interview."

"Kyungsoo, if you're watching this right now! Please don't switch the T.V off because you're angry. I can explain! I forgot all about that thing we planned because of my stupid manager woke me up in the morning and said I had to fly to London! I just remembered in the flight! So let me conclude this by telling to what I wanted to say today! Kyungsoo, we spent a lot of time to together. In that time, I realized how deep I have fallen. How deep I have fallen for you. I like you, Kyungsoo! Actually, I love you! I hope you return my feelings, I think you would... since you had a picture of me saved as your phone's background picture! I will be back in Korea in a few weeks I got some other business here! Please do wait for me!"

Kyungsoo felt was touched. He couldn't believe Kai felt the way he felt.

"I will wait for you," Kyungsoo whispered.
