Chap 6

Rivals

 

As I promised ...

________________

Yongguk was patienly waiting outside and it was 9 o’clock in the evening. The younger had chosen a quite late time to come over. He wasn’t sure if Daehyun felt uncomfortable, but still, he had to please the genius younger boy.  After waiting the black Benz stop before him, Yongguk quickly opened the door, and as expected, Youngjae stepping out, no longer in the usual uniform. However, his expression was unreadable.

 

“Thanks for coming.”

 

“I promised already.” Youngjae went straight to the house with Yongguk following behind. “Whatever, I just want this to finish soon. I’ll just tutor him till the end of the exam.”

 

“I just expect that” he smiled “He depends all on you.”

 

“No promises.”

 

Deep inside, Yongguk knew the boy was a responsible person, so he believed in this only boy to tutor Daehyun. He had promised ‘them’ that he would look after Daehyun carefully. He would never let them down.

 

 

~000~

 

 

Youngjae was taken aback when he stepped into the room and found Daehyun sitting at the desk with a bunch of books and papers around. He allowed himself some seconds to take in the room. It was really big, quite neat and clean… probably thanks to the housemaid; the light brown colour brought in a warm feeling; there was a narrow corridor which was hidden behind two dark brown curtains and a small window on the left. Daehyun’s desk was on the right, the lamp on it was splashing a yellow light to his chesnut hair and tawny complexion. Youngjae felt his heart fluttered in an unusual speed by seeing the scene of the brunette boy in a V-neck sweater and pyjama trousers. He knew himself wasn’t wearing better but barely found Daehyun wearing so comfortable like this, he felt strange.

 

Inhaled deeply, he cleared his throat, catching Daehyun’s attention as the other turned back.

 

Damn it. He looked more handsome than usual. Even the smallest details from Daehyun suddenly could easily melt him like ice-cream now. A pair of big brown eyes felt so soft like that day, full lips slightly pressed against each other. His fringe falling down, hid half of the boy’s right eye.

 

“Youngjae”

 

The way he called his name.

 

! ! ! Go die already Jung Daehyun.

 

“Finally you lazy are care for study.”

 

“I’m sorry” He smiled, distracting him a bit. Did that bastard change the way he talked to him ? To what extent was that bastard going to make things more awkward for him ?

 

“Being tutored by a genius, such an honor” He tilted his head, tapped softly on the unoccuppied chair nearby.

 

Damm it. He was a little… cute.

 

Youngjae composed himself, understood deeply why there was a long line of people chasing after him. Now he sured to see the top reason.

 

“W-Whatever, do this fast, I wanna go back home and sleep.”

 

 

~000~


Contrary to the first thought, tutoring Daehyun wasn't that bad. Except for the fact that the brunette were constanly giving him some heart attacks and their possibility of developing into some kind of disease was undeniably high. lt was true that Daehyun was not so intelligent, but he could feel the older's efforts to everything he did. Totally different from a Daehyun he'd known. The older always questioned when there was something he didn't understand. Explaining it for him then ate a lot of time. He had no idea why Daehyun was even able to be a senior. Other than that, they kept silence, no word spoken. As a habit, he brought along his books to Daehyun's house to study, surprised when Yongguk’s offer to have another desk in the room. This guy was a caring person, Youngjae noted. He had just tutored Daehyun for a week, however, the brunette's improvement was evident. Forgot this, Daehyun started going back school right the first day Youngjae coming tutor. The oIder acted normal, however, did nothing to Youngjae and so did he. Sometimes when they ran into each other, both only stole glances, but that’s all. Junhong easiIy realised that, but the youngest hadn't questioned him yet. He knew his brother had been tutoring someone, but nothing more. Youngjae thought the younger was smart enough to guess it out, but he decided to said nothing about that.


"Yah, Youngjae" Yongguk caIIed him out "Daehyun just got his first B+ ! Thank you, I know I could count on you" he patted the younger's shoulder, laughing loudly.


"Hey it's just a B+ ... not the best to me."


"But it is to me" Yongguk sighed in satisfaction "PIease keep the progress ?"


Youngjae nodded. He didn't feel furious beside Daehyun anymore. Just a little ... they called it what ? ... fluttery ? Was that a bad idea ?

 


~000~

 


"Youngjae, I have a ques-"


He slowly lost his temper. This was the fifth question and he'd just arrived here five minutes ago.


"Read book carefully, you idiot"


"But they are just writing stupid in there, I don't get it." he pouted.


Youngjae just wanted to sIap right on this face. His ears were getting red again.


"They have a word called 'thinking'. You have to use your brain !! What are you going to do for life if you keep asking and asking ? You-"


Again. A pair of big puppy eyes were throwing directly at him. He could never win this. Seemed like the older knew this was his weakness to frequently attack it.


"Youngjae..."


"..."


"Genius Youngjae ~"


When did this bastard learn to praise the other ?


"Help me ~"


lf there had been nothing happen, he would make sure to tease the brunette on his acting and the ridiculous way of talking. But now..no.


"Ughh.."

 


~000~

 


"Daehyun seems happy these days" Himchan frowned, stopped to take a on his miIk then continued "I know people are often delighted after recovering from sick, but this kid is... very happy"


"Daehyun hyung even improves in study" Junhong commented.


"Uh huh, this thing too. Somehow it's weird. He smiles very much and often distracted while talking. I have to calI him so many times to get him listening. Then sometimes has his chin rested on his palm, enjoys the sky view lovingly, like daydreaming or ... "


"Being high ?" Youngjae joked.


"...being in love ?"


Jongup nearly choked on his cafe.


"Daehyun hyung got a girlfriend ??" Junhong's eyes widened.


"No, I don't see him with any girls," Himchan glanced at Youngjae "Do you know something about this, Youngjae ~ ?"


"..."


"Ah hyung, umma complains about you often come back home late-"


"Shut up !" Youngjae hissed.

 

"What's late ?" Himchan jumped in.


"Nothing !" he shook his head constantly.


Himchan smirked.


"Sure, nothing..."


"..."

 


~000~

 


"Hey, today I'll back home sooner than usu- Hupp !"


"What ? What ?" Daehyun turned back and asked, the chemistry book in his hand.


"...Nothing"


Just because he were wearing glasses with big black spectaclesrims and it was the first time Youngjae saw him wearing glasses and a ... sleeveless shirt ...


'thump thump'


"You say you wanna leave soon ?" Youngjae sat down beside him, tried to avoid eye contact.


"Yup.."


"But there's chemistry test tomorrow ! I need your help.."


"Study it yourself"


"Yahh..." Daehyun's hand touched his. He sudden jumped out of his seat.


"Y-You... what are you doing ??"


"... What am I doing ? Nothing."


Exaggerating reaction. Calm down, Yoo Youngjae.


"Ah, you are blushing"


"S-Shut up, idiot..."


"You are afraid of skinship, aren’t you ?"


Youngjae froze.


"...skinship ?"


"Uh, like ... hugging, touching, skin contact, ..." explained Daehyun.


"May be ?" Well, he did 'skin ship' with Junhong and his mother, but the others ... hell, no.


"Want me to help you against it ?" the older grinned.


This would DEFINITELY not okay.


"Nope. As long as you don't do it again" Youngjae sat back.


"Oh. Come on. I'm very good at those things." his grin grew bigger. Youngjae's face heated.


"Forget it."


"Chicken-hearted"


"What did you just say ?"


"That’s too damn easy ! Little chicken" Daehyun laughed cockily.


"Yah !"


Silence...


"Chicken"


"SHUT UP !!!" Daehyun turned around on his chair, patting his thighs.


"If you dare to sit here, I'll stop."


"What ?" Youngjae glowered. He must be crazy !

 

 

~000~

 

 

“Chick-”

 

“Fine !” He said angrily, quickly stepping toward the older boy and flopping on his lap, his two legs pressed on either side of Daehyun. This position was a little… weird. Daehyun’s arms found their way around his lower back, pulling him closer. Youngjae laid his palms on the opposite chest, wanted to keep the safe distance, looked anywhere but the charming face right before him, controlling his breath. The warmth coming from the front, the light mint scent made his head spin. He shifted, accidently slipped himself deeper into Daehyun’s lap. The boy smiled, his breath slightly brushed his skin.

 

“See ? Skinship is nothing.”

 

That bastard WAS the one felt nothing. He cursed the brunette by all languages he knew inwardly.

 

Of course Jung Daehyun must make things worse. He grabbed the younger’s wirsts, led them around his neck before settling them behind it. After that, his own arms circled around Youngjae’s back, hugging him tightly.

 

He couldn’t be … like this to his long time rival. What was his rival doing ? His behaviors, Youngjae failed to comprehend them day by day. He couldn’t sit like this longer if he didn’t want himself to end up explosing.

 

“Hey”

 

“Hm ?”

 

“Enough ? Let me go”

 

“If you already came this far… why don’t you go further and prove you can be braver ?” he whispered in his ear.

 

“I don’t want to-”

 

“Youngjae, look at me”

 

He couldn’t. He refused to see this feeling growing. That bastard pushed him to his limit already.

 

“Youngjae !”

 

His powerful voice, this was the first time he heard it, worried him a bit. The older grabbed his chin and forced his head to face him fully, fuming gaze creamed his want to burn the younger.

 

“Piggie is bad.”
