Chapter: III

Football ± Theatre ± LAN = Us

 

Seungcheol and Kiky are now soundly asleep on their bed. Both are still deep in slumber from all the tiredness caused by the wedding. The preparation itself had a lot of their energy that they didn't get any good sleep. Not to mention the stress caused. And now after a long time, the two finally got into some quality sleep.

The two were getting quite into an argument as each of them battled to sleep on the bed, both have their own reason on why they deserve to sleep there. Kiky with being a lady fact that Seungcheol need to be a gentleman and sleep on the couch, while Seungcheol reasoned that he's gonna have a match soon and the practices are gonna be started tomorrow so he need to get good rest.

Way out? The two finally agreed to devide the bed equally. The barrier was made from the pillows the two doesn't want to use. More like they sacrifice it for the barrier. But oh well, it doesn't make such good division in the end cause the two are now cuddling to each other. Kiky's now hugged so tight by Seungcheol that if they're actually awake, their faces would be a lot more red than a tomato. Her head was placed on his chest while her hands were around Seungcheol's waist, pulling him close. The two look inseparable and if you don't know any better, you'd think that they're a legit couple.

It was morning already and their phones had begin to ring from the alarm. Seungcheol,  being a heavy sleeper as usual, shove his phone away off the bed before continue his cuddle to Kiky. But Kiky, after once or twice more ringing from her phone, eventually woke up and can't help but to blush madly as she pushed Seungcheol away, "Yah, I told you no skinship! What happened to the barrier?!"

"I kicked it away last night" Seungcheol said sleepily "And don't pretend like you don't like cuddling with me. You hugged me too, anyway" 

"Why you- Fine whatever. Just this time, Seungcheol" Kiky said before walking off to the bathroom. Seungcheol only mimicked her words before drifting bad to sleep. He doesn't even care that he's gonna fetch Kiky too this morning. Meaning that he needs to wake up early. But oh well, he doesn't get the title 'heavy sleeper' for nothing.

After several minutes, Kiky finally came out of the bathroom in her school uniform. She was ready for school, you can say. Tie her hair into a ponytail and she'll be ready to go. She's not the kind of person to apply layers and layers of make up for school, anyway so it wouldn't take that much of time for her to prepare for school.

As she walks to the table, she clicked her tongue from the sight on the bed. Seungcheol was still fast asleep. One of his foot was out of the blanket while his face was buried on the pillows, looking comfortable as ever. "Seungcheol, wake up"

Seungcheol hummed.

"Hey, wake up"

He shifted.

Kiky sighed, "Wake up. You're driving me to school, right? Wake up you need to be ready early"

"I can just skip breakfast" he said "Give me 15 more minutes"

"No, wake up now" Kiky said and pulled his blanket away. Seungcheol groaned from the sudden cold feeling but continue his sleep like nothing happened.

"Yah, wake up!"

"No"

"Seungcheol, wake up" Kiky begged and sat on the bed "Seungcheol, come on. Youre not even sleeping anymore, you've talked with me. Get up now or I'll-"

All of sudden, without letting her to finish her words nor pull another sleeping materials away, Seungcheol pulled Kiky back to the bed and cover their body with the blanket, "Shut up and cuddle me again. You're warm"

"Yah, let me go!" Kiky shouted "I'm wearing a skirt, God dammit!"

"My eyes are closed, I won't peek"

"Still!" She struggles out of his grip "Seungcheol let me go! Now!"

Seungcheol hummed.

"Yah, wake up! Let me go!" Kiky shouted on his face "Choi Seungcheol you idiot! Let me go now or I'll kick you and make you unable to play football for the rest of your life! Yah, wake up! Seungcheol!"

"You would't do that" he said sleepily.

"Oh hell, I will" she threatened. She began to kick him lightly but it doesn't work. Instead, Seungcheol tangled his leg on top of hers and pulled her closer for a cuddle. Getting desperate, Kiky begin to shout right on his ear, "Seungcheol let me go you freaking ! God, you smell so bad! Did you drool?! Yah, wake up! You big fat bum, wake up! Wake up and let me go now!!"

"Oh my God, you're so loud!" He groaned and sat up "Fine, I'm awake! I'm awake now. Stop shouting, oh my God. Your waking the whole house up"

Kiky stood up, tidying her uniform that got crumpled from his grip. Her hair got messy too cause she was struggling hard to get off his grip. This boy surely love skinship. And it's starting to scare Kiky.

Honestly, tons of question were scaring her now. He's married to her but he's still dating Jeje? He promised to treat her well but he still talk about Jeje in a sweet way? He hugs and cuddle Kiky but he constantly remind her that his heart belongs to Jeje? What kind of game does Seungcheol think he's playing in?

"I'm gonna be down to prepare breakfast. You better not go back to sleep, Seungcheol" Kiky announced before walking out of the bedroom. She was still blushing madly from Seungcheol's action. How can he be so comfortable hugging and cuddling her like that? I mean, he's the one with a girlfriend, doesn't that mean a thing for him? Honestly, can he ever be more confusing than this or is it just him that's really retarded as what Kiky always call him with?

He's so weird, oh my God

***

"What're you making?" Seungcheol asked as he walks to the kitchen. He's already dressed for school, completed with his backpack and gym bag for his practice. Right after he walks out of his bedroom, he can smell the delicious cooking from the kitchen and can't help but to walk down. Quite surprise to see that it was Kiky who was cooking, not his mom.

"Toasts and omelette" she said proudly "Yours will be ready in a minute. Just sit down and I'll place it on your plate"

"We don't have time for breakfast"

"Yes we do. We have to" she said, glaring at him "Now sit down before I make you to do so"

Again, Seungcheol mimicked Kiky's words before eventually walk himself to the dining table. It becomes one of his habit to copy what Kiky said in a mocking way now. God knows how many times he'll mimic her once they live under the same roof. Both because of her nags and also her requests.

"Hyung? Are you not going to school?" Hansol asked as he got to the dinning table. He was quite surprised that his older brother is actually sitting on the dining table. It was really rare for his hyung to take his breakfast. And I mean, really rare. You can literally count with your own fingers how many times he sits down to eat his breakfast because that guy, no matter how well he leads his team on the field, is forever a lazy bum in general so he'll always wake up late and got no time left to take his breakfast.

"I am. But Kiky insists to take breakfast first, so"

"Kiky noona  told you to take breakfast," Hansol said amused "and you obey her?"

Seungcheol glared, "Shut up"

Hansol chuckled and sat down. He was still amused on what trick Kiky used to make him obey her words. Not even their parents could tell him to sit his down for breakfast, yet now, he's witnessing his own brother to wait for his meal on the dining table. In the morning. Has he really awake or is it all just a dream for Hansol?

"Morning, Hansol" Kiky greeted "I made you omelette. I hope you like extra mushroom and sausage"

"Oh I love them in fact. Thanks noona!" Hansol said as he digs in. The look on his face was really dreamy from the taste of the food. 

Kiky couldn't help but to smile proudly as she placed Seungcheol's omelette on his plate. No mushroom, only sausage and extra cheese. That's how he likes it. Seungcheol then cut his omelette and placed it on his mouth. He chewed it and couldn't help but to compliment Kiky's cooking too, even when he's saying it to himself. "How did you know I like my omelette this way?"

"I've done my research" Kiky shrugged simply as she sat down and took a piece of toast "No, actually I just remembered it. We've done quite a lot of vacations together when we're younger, and you always request your meals with no mushrooms, so"

"You remember? That was like ages ago"

Kiky shrugged.

Seungcheol stared at her, amused. He couldn't even remember her birthday after the long separation, yet now she still remembers his special request for meals? Now that he think about it, he kinda feel bad for her. He couldn't even recall what's her favorite color until the wedding day when she requested green themed wedding venue. Talk about good memory, huh

"Good morning," Seungcheol's Dad greeted "Strange to see you at eating breakfast here, Seungcheol" 

"Yeah, I have extra time" he lied.

"Did you cook all of these meals, Kiky?" His Mom asked, impressed.

Kiky nodded, "It's just small act for welcoming me in your house, Mrs. Choi"

"Ah come on, Kiky. Don't act like you're still an outsider! You're our family member now, right?" She said "And don't call me 'Mrs. Choi'. You can call me Eomonim or Mom, too now. You're our daughter now, right?"

Kiky nodded in acknowledge. It's still strange to call and think of Seungcheol's parents as her own, actually. At this point of time, she still couldn't even believe that she's living on a Seungcheol's house. It all happened too fast for her to understand and accept. Like all of these events were just an illusion. They were like just another friends of your parents yesterday, anyway. So to call them or at least see them as your own? I think that might need some time to really sinks down.

"How's your sleep, Kiky?" Seungcheol's Dad asked.

"It was very pleasant, Mr. Ch- I mean, abbeonim".

Seungcheol's parents then throw glances at each other while hiding their smile. Seungcheol, Kiky, and even Hansol, raised an eyebrow at the strange action. What're they laughing, at?

"Okay, I can't hide it anymore," Seungcheol's Mom cracked "Seungcheol-ah, Kiky-ya, did you guys.. You know.. Did it? I mean.. Had, um.. ?"

Seungcheol and Kiky chocked hard while Hansol could only popped his eyes out and stare at his hyung in disbelief. The bluntness on Seungcheol's Mom's words also surprised them to the point that Kiky's now in need of water to clear .

"Mom, what are you talking about?!" Seungcheol shouted in surprise.

"W-Well we kinda heard your commotions last night, saying 'I'm on top' 'No, I'm on top' 'You can't be on top, you're strong enough' and things like that, so.."

Kiky and Seungcheol stared at each other. His parents must've misunderstood the moment when they argue on who's gonna sleep on the bed and who's gonna sleep on the floor. They kinda did went too loud on that argument, but they didn't expect his parents to listen to it. I mean, why would you eavesdrop your child, right?!

"M-Mom, it's not like that" Seungcheol said, stuttering "You must've misheard us"

"No, I couldn't possibly misheard you two. Your father heard it too, right yeobo?" His Mom asked and look at his Dad. Seungcheol's Dad could only nod his head while placing another cut of the omelette to his mouth.

"E-Eomonim, it really is not what you think. Me and Seungcheol.. We did nothing last night. We were too tired, so.. I think you misheard us" Kiky said, blushing.

"Ah, what a pity then. I was already excited that we might have grandchild soon enough"

"Mom!" Seungcheol warned.

"Alright, alright, sorry" his Mom stopped "I know, you two needs time and want to enjoy your teenage time. I understand"

Seungcheol glanced at Kiky with apologetic look. His parents can sure know no shame at times like this, especially in front of her. They always see Kiky as their own child so they think it's okay to talk to her about anything. I mean by, everything

"We'll just leave now," Seungcheol said and stood up "it's enough talk for the morning. Exactly another reason why I always skip breakfast"

Kiky wiped her lips and stood up too. She bows deeply to Seungcheol's parents before leaving the table, following him who's already walking to the garage. He was right. It's enough talk for the morning. She didn't expect his parents to be so blunt like this. I mean, she knows that they're quite straight forward to her, but to ask did they have their night stand? Better to drive off to school now before they ask for further question, right?

***

Seungcheol stopped his car right in front of Kiky's school. He knows that the deal was to just drop her off a few blocks away, but remembering how sensitive the topic his parents asked earlier, he couldn't find a better way to apologize than to drive her right in front of the gate. 

"Can you hand me my backpack?" Kiky asked. She was tying her hair in a ponytail. Her bag was placed on the back seat and even if she wasn't doing anything, she couldn't possibly reach it. Perks of being a not-so-tall girl, huh?

Seungcheol sighed but took her backpack anyway, "I'll be home late today. I have late practices till 6 and another game outside school till 9

"Why so late, you should not skip your meals then" Kiky stopped tying and face Seungcheol "Good thing I force you to eat breakfast, right? My cooking are always the best too anyway, so"

Seungcheol rolled his eyes, "Yeah right, keep on bragging about yourself. See who's the real pride person here" he retorded "I might get home even later, I guess. Jeje would definitely demand some explanation and apolgy from me about yesterday and all the pain it'd cost. So, well.. Maybe we're gonna have some sort of dinner tonight"

"I don't care about your life with Jeje. None of my business" Kiky said and shrug. If you're thinking that Kiky was lying, then you should think about it again. Kiky's not the type of girl to let her love life be the base of her fate maker. Especially when it comes to Seungcheol. She knows that Seungcheol would always brag about his girlfriend and such so she'd prepared her mental since the day Jeje appeared on their wedding. Well, maybe just to not take a big fuss when Seungcheol talks about her. Kiky still get the little irritation everytime Jeje's name was mentioned on their conversation. But oh well, what else can she do? "We've agreed last night that we should not inter- Hey, where's your wedding ring?!" Kiky asked as she's about to take her backpack "Did you throw it away?!"

"No, why would I do that?" He rolled his eyes "It's in my backpack pocket. I can't wear it to school, people would grow suspicion or at least, thinks that I'm gay for wearing such ring"

Kiky stared at him with disbelief face and tried to take Seungcheol's bag. Does he really despite the marriage this much cause it's starting to make Kiky offended. What's wrong with marrying her?! She's not that bad of a lady. She knows how to cook, how to take care of people, and how to do daily chores. Doesn't that count a bit? She frowned at the thought. She furiously try to get to Seungcheol's bag but like I said, her hands weren't long enough to take it. So with a sigh, Seungcheol helped her and gave her his bag, "What do you want now, Kiky?"

"Shut up," she cut. She then scan all of his backpack pocket and look for his ring. Once she found it, she took off her necklace and replace the pendant with the ring "Wear this. It's no longer a 'gay' ring now. No one's gonna grow suspicion if you wear this. It's not like they can see anyway, unless they're such sasaengs to scan on your body or something"

Seungcheol raised an eyebrow, "Why should I wear this?"

"Because I told you so" she said as she opened the car door, ready to get off of the car "And for the record, you really are gay, Seungcheol"

"Yah!" He complained, but Kiky's already walking off. She didn't even turn her head when he shouted at her. Or maybe she was just ignoring him? Well who knows now, the girl's walking away already. He then stared at the necklace Kiky just gave. It was rather nice of her to gave him the necklace. Not to mention, a good idea too. Who knows such sarcastic girl can actually show a sweet side of herself?

Seungcheol then smile to himself before starting his car engine again. Today started off with a good feeling. Eventhough his parents caused quite shame, but it's still a minor one. Kiky doesn't seem to be bothered with it just much, anyway. So, holding the necklace tight and with a big grin, Seungcheol finally start the day off. Today shall be a good one. He can feel it.
