Chapter 4

Kyungsoo’s alarm set off, the ear piercing sound jolting him awake. He blinked a couple of times as he rubbed his eyes tiredly.

Standing up he made his way to the bathroom to clean up. He stood in front of his reflection and stared at it as he lifted the water tap. He grabbed his toothbrush and squeezed some toothpaste onto it, then wet it before brushing his teeth.

As he brushed his teeth, he smoothed out his hair with his available hand and winked at the handsome person in the mirror.

After finishing himself up, he threw his bag lazily over his shoulder, grabbed his keys and walked out of his apartment.

He had only managed to take five steps before his eyes set on the figure walking down the street towards the school.

Yesterday’s occurrence flashed in his mind and he felt like hiding under a rock and staying there forever. What did that Jongin think of him now? He probably thought of him as a nobody who can’t even get any friends.

Kyungsoo cringed at the thought of his embarrassing question yesterday, before he shook it off of his mind and continued walking down the street a few feet behind Kim Jongin. He couldn’t help but glance at Jongin more than a few times, trying to figure out what Jongin may think of him now.

His hands seemed like they were sweating, though the weather was pretty much cold. He slid his hands in his pockets and walked past Jongin with confidence and arrogance plastered on his face as Jongin watched Kyungsoo walk past him. Jongin scoffed and shook his head.

As Kyungsoo had passed Jongin, he let out his heavy breath and his expression went soft again.

He can’t possibly think I’m an embarrassing person, right? Kyungsoo chuckled inwardly.

Kyungsoo went through the gates and into the hallway with a sea of students swallowing him up.

Behind him he could hear girls giggling and squealing in awe as Jongin walked arrogantly through the halls and straight into their class room. Kyungsoo blew his bangs and decided to go fetch his books so he wouldn’t have to face Jongin before the teacher had come.

He walked towards his lockers and as he opened it, he felt gazes on him. Turning around he was met face to face with a grinning violet haired dude, Baekhyun.

‘’You are coming over tonight, right?’’ Baekhyun grinned widely.

Kyungsoo grinned back and nodded cutely. Baekhyun reached out his hand and ruffled Kyungsoo’s hair, and both of them laughed. Kyungsoo got his books out and walked with Baekhyun towards their classroom.

The smile on Kyungsoo’s face was wiped away as he was met with the cocky eyes at the end of the classroom. He pretended not to notice Jongin and sat down beside of him, looking straight forward.

Every class after that was the same. Kyungsoo would ignore Jongin, but Jongin couldn’t care less.

Childish, Jongin thought.

As soon as the last class had started, Kyungsoo heard Jongin speaking lowly.

‘’Embarrassed about yesterday?’’ Kyungsoo turned to look at Jongin, who looked as if he hadn’t just whispered that.

Kyungsoo felt his face heating up, and bit the insides of his cheeks. I knew he heard it!

He decided to ignore it. He glanced sideways at Jongin, and looked to the front before anyone could notice. Hell yeah I’m embarrassed, bastard.

As Kyungsoo glanced at Jongin again, he noticed something odd.

Why the hell was his pencil case on Jongin’s desk? Kyungsoo’s eyes widened. He had forgotten to bring it back from when Jongin fell asleep.

He bit his lip and turned fully to Jongin, whispering his name. Jongin had heard him but chose to ignore his existence.

‘’Jongin!’’ Kyungsoo hissed as his fifth attempt to get that prick’s attention.

Jongin turned to Kyungsoo annoyed and glared deeply into his eyes, frowning.

‘’J – ‘’¨

‘’What!?’’ Jongin hissed back, not breaking the eye contact or blinking.

Kyungsoo felt queasy under his stare as a blush crept up his cheeks.

‘’I – I was wondering. I – If I could ohm’’

‘’Get to know me? No.’’

That made Kyungsoo’s blush turn crimson red. ‘’N – No not that!’’

‘’Then what?’’ Jongin raised his brow.

‘’Can you let me finish!? I want my pencil case back.’’ Kyungsoo stared down at his own desk.

Soon he felt his pencil case slap his cheeks rather softly – Actually.

He turned to look at Jongin in utter shock, but the latter had turned to ‘focus’ in class.

He rubbed his cheek clearly annoyed and focused too.

‘’You ready?’’ Baekhyun beamed at Kyungsoo childishly.

Kyungsoo nodded and grinned back as Baekhyun slung his arm over Kyungsoo’s shoulders.

They walked down the hall with Baekhyun only focusing on the exit, while something interesting caught Kyungsoo’s attention.

That Byunghun was holding his hand onto a red haired guy, and the guy gazed softly down at Byunghun. Kyungsoo felt his insides warm up and smiled at the sight.

So I guess it worked out? He was glad he managed to at least help.

Just as he was about to turn away, Byunghun made eye contact and smiled gratefully at him.

Kyungsoo reflected his smile. He felt more than relieved after thinking about how crest fallen Byunghun had looked the other day. At the end of the corridor, he spotted Jongin speed walking through the exit, with a female teacher running as fast as you can with black high heels on your feet, after him.

‘’What are you looking at?’’ Kyungsoo’s ear tickled of Baekhyun’s warm breath, and he couldn’t help but blush.

As they reached a gate, a glossy black limousine was met with them and Kyungsoo widened his eyes in shock, ‘’Are we riding that?’’ His mouth was agape.

‘’Of course, silly’’ Baekhyun chuckled and lead Kyungsoo inside the limo with his hand at the end of Kyungsoo’s back.

Kyungsoo made himself comfortable and looked around the long car. ‘’I’ve never been inside one of these before’’ He muttered in awe as he the black leather sofa.

Baekhyun smiled at his cuteness and resisted the urge to pinch his cheeks.

Oh, you will have more to come, Baekhyun thought shamelessly.

As they reached Baekhyun’s house, Kyungsoo’s eyes were even wider than before – If that was even possible.

‘’Do you call this a house!?’’ He turned to the bright red Baekhyun.

‘’This is freaking paradise!! I can’t believe you live in there!’’

Baekhyun rubbed his neck sheepishly.

As Baekhyun led Kyungsoo towards his room, Kyungsoo couldn’t help but gawk at everything in his mansion. How can you live in such a big house!?

They reached his room and Baekhyun left Kyungsoo there, so he could get the paper màche to start the project.

He sat down at the marbled floor and tried to think about some of his good memories. He didn’t really know if he could manage this project as he didn’t have many good memories that he had shared.

In the middle of Kyungsoo’s brain storming, he felt something light hit his head. Startled he turned shocked towards Baekhyun who was holding a bunch of paper.

He laughed and looked at Baekhyun as he put the stack of paper Mache on the floor, then sat in front of him. 

‘’So, have you thought about any memories?’’ Baekhyun chirped.

Kyungsoo shook his head guiltily, ‘’I guess I don’t have any good memories’’

‘’The memories don’t have to be good. They could be sad in fact, as long as it has occurred in your life before.’’

He nodded; at least he could help the project. Suddenly he thought of rain. Kyungsoo had a soft spot for rain. He loved the sound of it rattling against windows and roofs. In fact, he also liked getting drenched in it. He knew very well he could get sick, but at least it would be worth it.

He reached for the paper Mache and grabbed the scissors lying innocently beside his thighs.

He cut out two lone rain drops and grabbed the glue to make it stand on the ground paper. One resembled a rain drop; the other resembled silent tears he had been shedding in the orphanage. But of course no one was going to know about that.

After that, he looked at the paper Mache and scissors in his hand. His hands trembled as he cut out a rectangle. He grabbed the crayons lying in between him and Baekhyun, and wrote shakily

‘C A N D Y S H O P’

Baekhyun stared at Kyungsoo with soft eyes. He had cut out rain drops. Why had he cut out two of them though? Baekhyun shook away his curiosity and continue glancing at Kyungsoo.

He looked at Kyungsoo’s hair, cute. Kyungsoo had soft pure skin, and the most adorable eyes Baekhyun had ever seen. He looked at the male’s eyelashes and to his cute nose.

He looked over every feature of him and hoped to memorize them. He felt butterflies in his stomach and soft tugs at his heart. His face was crimson red, and he couldn’t help but think; How is it that a male is even more beautiful than female’s?

He watched Kyungsoo and his eyes became even softer when he watched as tears trickled down the cheeks of an angel. Angel’s tears, Baekhyun thought.

Without noticing, his hands reached out and cupped Kyungsoo’s cheeks.

The said male shifted his eyes from the paper to Baekhyun’s worried ones.

‘’Hey’’ Baekhyun said softly, wiping Kyungsoo’s tears with his thumb.

‘’Are you alright?’’

Kyungsoo kept staring at Baekhyun, and only nodded as a response.

Baekhyun looked as if he was about to ask a question, but bit his lip and retreated his hands quickly.

‘’I think we’re done for today’’
