Chapter 11

Kyungsoo stumbled and fell with his on the ground first. ‘’Ahh’’ He bit his lip and looked around to see if anyone saw it. He sighed in relief as he didn’t see anyone, because really? that would be pretty embarrasi –

‘’Uhm’’

Kyungsoo looked up with wide eyes.

His eyes darted around the room before laying his eyes on the one and only Kim ing Jongin.

‘’Uh, I can explain! You see, uh’’ Kyungsoo closed his eyes and scrunched his face, why didn’t he see which door he went through? Oh wait, then Jongin would’ve caught him. Which he did in the end anyway.

Kyungsoo opened his eyes slowly and glanced at Jongin who was standing before him. The nervous move Jongin made by playing with the hem of his own shirt, made Kyungsoo arch his eyebrows slightly. Was Jongin nervous? He shook the thought away, nah.. can´t be.

He stood up and dusted his pants off before stuffing his hand in the pocket of his hoodie. Kyungsoo met with Jongin’s  glossy chestnut eyes and they held each other’s gazes for a while before the shorter coughed and tore his gaze away. Slowly rosy scarlet colors spread over Kyungsoo’s steaming cheeks, making his face appear almost childlike.

‘’Ah’’ he cleared his throat and slapped his cheeks softly, why the am I blushing!?

He bit the insides of his cheek, ‘’you see-‘’

‘’Thank you’’ Jongin abruptly cut his sentence. Just as Kyungsoo was about to answer, the school bell rang loudly in their ears, and soon the hall was filled with students. Around him, everything was in fast-forward while he was standing motionless in the middle of it all.

As the halls cleared out, he was pulled back to reality. Appreciation. The first feeling Jongin had showed him. He smiled softly before walking fast to his next class.

Kyungsoo couldn’t help but feel like someone – or rather Jongin was staring at him. He’d look at the latter through the corner of his eyes, but the determined tan boy wouldn’t avert his gaze elsewhere.

The intense stare made his insides all fluffy and uncaught butterflies fly freely. He bit his lips to contain whatever emotion he was feeling and felt a shiver as he exhaled a shaky breath.

‘’K –‘’ Kyungsoo turned to the source of the voice but Jongin’s eyes were fixated at the paper before him. I’m imagining stuff.

Just when he was about to turn around, Jongin locked eyes with him again, his mouth opening and closing hesitantly. Kyungsoo chewed on his lower lip and looked around the room before meeting the chestnut eyes again. He felt like shaking Jongin, couldn’t he just speak already? He knew better than that though and waited for the words to roll out of the tanned boys’ mouth in anticipation. He sighed quietly when Jongin mumbled ‘’never mind’’ almost inaudible, and doodled in his notebook.

Without realizing it, the do eyed boy scrutinized Jongin’s face. He noticed how he had split tips at the in his hair, though it still looked soft. He had a sharp jaw, and pink plump lips. His eyes would turn into slits when he was concentrated, and he would bite the insides of his cheeks when he was thinking.

Kyungsoo bit his lip and looked away, why did everyone around him just happen to be so goddamn flawless.

The rest of the day went rather smoothly and Kyungsoo found himself outside Pearltaste, an icecream parlor he would always go to. The sun slowly descended in the sky, and as it began to set on the horizon, the sky grew to a plum and orange color.

Kyungsoo stared at the sky in awe and caught a smile forming on his lips.

He played with his plastic spoon after he was done with his mint chocolate chip ice cream. His spoon stopped moving as he felt a pair of eyes fixated on him. Curious, Kyungsoo turned around to meet with the slight surprised eyes of none other than Kim Jongin.

Did he follow me here? How come I didn’t notice him earlier?

‘’Uh – ‘’ Kyungsoo almost fell of his chair and stared at Jongin who was now standing beside him. Jongin pointed hesitantly at the lone chair across of Kyungsoo, ‘’Mind if I, uh, sit here?’’.

Kyungsoo found himself shaking his head, ‘’I don’t mind’’. Jongin nodded and sat rather awkwardly. They both sat there for what felt like hours, Kyungsoo couldn’t take the awkwardness anymore.

‘’Uh, so, Jongin right?’’ The tanned boy nodded and lifted his eyes to meet Kyungsoo’s.

‘’Can I ask who’s… Grave were you visiting?’’

A muscle in his face twitched, ‘’you already did’’

‘’oh – ‘’

‘’I don’t fancy sharing my feelings or past, neither do I plan on telling you in the future’’

Kyungsoo nodded. Wait, what was that? He sees me in his future?

Trying to find his words, Kyungsoo bit the insides of his cheeks.

‘’Why did you... Leave all of a sudden? I mean – It’s not like you had to stay…You could’ve at least told me y’know…’’Why do you decide to stutter now? Stupid.

Jongin stared at Kyungsoo holding his gaze for a while before flickering them around the now empty shop. Kyungsoo couldn’t help but to feel lost in Jongin’s dark but nervous eyes.

‘’Can we continue?’’

Kyungsoo furrowed his brows, ’continue what exactly?’’

Jongin’s cheeks turned into the slightest shade of pink as he looked back at Kyungsoo.

‘’Continue the night’’
