Hyesung gulped down his third cup of Americano for today to raise his drooping eyelids while reading for his next lecture. His lecture

was in next thirty minutes and here he was still drowsy due to lack of sleep last night.

“. Mun Jung Hyuk. Bastard.”

The lecturer let out a low cursing voice since he was the only one in the lecturers’ room. Thinking of that Mun Jung Hyuk, the

incident from last night resurfaced again and made him grit his teeth for the nth time. After storming out from the restaurant, he

had turned off his cell phone, knowing that bully would be annoying him by calling the whole night. He had gone straight to the bed

after getting home but he had not had even a second’s sleep because his mind had been too obsessed with that peck.

That peck on the back of his right hand.

He unconsciously caressed the spot again recalling the scene of the previous night.

That bastard thought he was a kind of doll to play with and flirt because he knew Hyesung liked only guys?  

Maybe he was thinking Hyesung was just too easy to flirt without caring the other’s feelings.

Hyesung seriously wanted to deny it but the truth was he had lost control of his heartbeat at that time when Eric had whispered in

his ear and landed a peck on his hand. Well, it was not entirely his fault based on the fact that he had been lonely for all these years,

suppressing his feelings and needs because they were “inappropriate”. Then, suddenly, Mun Jung Hyuk had popped up from

nowhere and stirred his calm yet boring days with his annoying attitude. Although he found him annoying, he must admit that he

had been kind of enjoying the companionship in these days. Especially in dinner time, at least he had someone to have dinner

together and he even could not find a boring time due to nonsensical texts and calls from Mun Jung Hyuk.

They had a serious effect on Hyesung’s daily life and he started to worry if he might have been developing some feelings on that guy

or not. If he was really being like this, he would be in total despair because he knew Mun Jung Hyuk did not mean anything except

teasing and making him annoyed.

No. Shin Hye Sung. Calm down and control yourself.

He must have been a little excited because of the sudden attention.

No. They were not other weird feelings. He was not just used to them.

Mun Jung Hyuk was just playing him and nothing more.

He was just playing with his feelings and shaking his lonely heart.

No real intention. No serious attachment.

Maybe now he was rolling on the floor laughing knowing how much he had made Hyesung annoyed. He needed to be mad furiously at

Mun Jung Hyuk for playing with him and treating him as an easy target to flirt.

But what if he really meant something?

His whisper of “Consider me as your other half” kept ringing in his ears and he was being delusional enough to think there was some

sincerity in his tone.

NO.

Hyesung shook his head before giving a slap on his own cheek. He seriously needed a full night’s sleep because lack of sleep was

driving him crazy and making him think nonsense.

What? He sensed sincerity in Mun Jung Hyuk’s voice?

Sincerity was the last thing in this world to be together with Mun Jung Hyuk. And a perfect guy like Mun Jung Hyuk must be the

heartthrob of girls and why had he to be interested in a boring common guy like him?

“Shin Hye Sung. He is the bully to you. Nothing more.”

Hyesung repeated those words silently while he was gathering his notes for the lecture since it is only 5 minutes left for the class to

start. His professional mindset of a lecturer kicked back in when he started to walk towards his class.

“Stop thinking about Mun Jung Hyuk …”

Eric parked his car at one of the empty slots of the parking lot and before getting off, he checked himself at the rear view mirror and

stared at the mirror for a few minutes.

Was it a good idea?

But this was the surest way that Hyesung could not hide or reject to meet him. He could not be too violent at least in his worksite

in front of the eyes of his colleagues.

That was why he was now in the parking lot of Hankyung University to meet “Sesame”.

He called the whole night and the whole morning but Hyesung was still turning off his phone. For unknown reason, the desire of

wanting to see him overpowered Eric’s mind. He seriously needed to meet him to …

To what ….?

Eric shook his head as he could not find the answer to continue. He wanted to see Hyesung but when he met him, what would he

do? Apologize? Confess his kind of developing feelings?  

The awkward feeling crept up in his chest when he thought about “feelings” for Hyesung. They had just met again two weeks ago

after all these 17 years and he admitted that he had known about Hyesung more than he should in this short period. And obviously,

he had been enjoying his presence under the title of “teasing” and “bullying”.

Maybe had he had feelings for him even back then? Since high school days?

He could recall clearly that when he should have a crush over a girl like every teenage boy in his class, he had been too obsessed

with finding ways for teasing Hyesung. Watching Hyesung’s different expressions showing his annoyed feeling had been one of his

enjoyments in school and that alone was strange enough to him. Back then, he had not realized it but now, after thinking back and

analyzing, he concluded that he might even had a crush on Hyesung since then.

Eric sighed after understanding what a complicated mess he was in. Maybe that was why he seriously needed to meet Hyesung? His

instinct was telling him that seeing Hyesung’s face could solve his problem somehow.

He grabbed his jacket and finally, he get off from his car before locking it and walking towards the main building. After making the

necessary inquiry, at last, he found that Hyesung was giving a lecture at the moment and he also got the information of which room

he was in.

He walked through the empty compound as obviously, students were in classes. After turning corners and taking paths, he found his

destination and as soon as he approached it silently, the familiar faint voice seeped through the thick wooden door.

Definitely, it was Hyesung’s voice. He let a faint smile curving on his face hearing the unclear voice of the one he wanted to meet.

He decided to stand at a little far corner of the corridor since he knew the class would be over in 10 minutes, give or take.

After playing with his phone, the door of the class finally opened and students started to pour into the corridor. Among the sea of

people, he tried to find the silhouette of the tall, slim figure.

Then, when there were only a few people left, at last, he found Hyesung getting out of the room carrying a heap of papers closed to

his chest with a student beside him. It seemed like he was still explaining something to that female student and Eric started to

approach them subconsciously. And in back of Eric’s mind, he noted that Hyesung was really good-looking in his glasses.

“Reconsider your theme and tell me as soon as possible … The deadline is getting near … as you know …”

After nodding at Hyesung’s words, the student took a glance at the approaching Eric and Hyesung noticed her shifting look because

he followed the direction of her look. Seeing how the shocked expression appeared on the lecturer’s face, Eric understood his

mission was a success. The student excused herself like she could feel the tensed situation and in the long and empty corridor, only

two of them were left.

“Hi …”

That was the first word that Eric could think at the moment. The one in front of him kept staring in a shocked expression, in a

frozen state. Next few minutes went on like this and for Eric, those few minutes felt like hours but he knew Hyesung would not

curse him or even yell at him at this place.

“What are you doing here?”

Like he had expected, Hyesung used his cold and calm voice instead of cursing and yelling. Eric flashed a smile at him and

approached nearer to the lecturer who stepped back immediately, feeling the uncomfortable close proximity between them.

“I … I just want to know if you’re ok …”

Hyesung seemed flustered at Eric’s answer and even Eric could not believe those words slipped out of his mouth.

“I’m fine … Why do you care anyway?”

Hyesung did not fail at snapping back and started to walk away from the unexpected visitor until he felt a hand grabbing his free

wrist. In no time, he found himself being dragged along the corridor. Eric only released his wrist when they reached the secluded

corner before literally cornering him.

“What are you doing, Mun Jung Hyuk?”

Hyesung raised his voice to the level of deadly threat but to his dismay, the one cornering him did not even flinch at all. He tried to

break through from Eric’s shadow but to no avail due to the hands grabbing his own ones.

“Listen to me … Hyesung-ah …”

Eric’s calm voice somehow soothed his restless mind and unconsciously, he ceased his effort of struggling and stared back at those

two brown orbs.

“Listen to me … If I made you dumbfounded yesterday, I’m sorry … I know it’s too sudden … but …”

Hyesung even held his breath seeing the determined expression on Eric’s face. It was so strange to see him like this without his grin

or evil smirk.

“But I’m not sorry for that peck …”

The eyes of Hyesung became double-sized and it seemed like he even forgot to blink. Grabbing the opportunity of Hyesung being

blank, Eric even leaned his face closer to Hyesung’s, leaving only a few centimeters between their faces.

“You may not believe it … but I have to tell you … and I know I’m in a big mess … and you also will be soon ….”

A streak of hesitation crossed over Eric’s mind but he shook it off immediately. He could not get the chance to know if he did not

try it.

“I think I like you ….”
