“I don't believe in anything above the sky,” the senior told him when they were on the school’s rooftop, a few months ago. It was uncommon for a people with a religion like him to hear those words from the mouth of someone he knew; to discover that his beloved hyung is an atheist. But Ryeowook know that he was a nobody to tell Heechul what is right and what is wrong. So he pretended that he was cool with it and let it pass.
But no matter how hard he tried to let it go, the pretence wasn’t as successful as he thought it would be, that a few night before Christmas, when Heechul told him that to celebrate Christmas is a waste, and nothing's gonna change even when Ryeowook cooked him the best cake or deserts ever, just because he was asking his beloved hyung of what kind of delicacies he would like to have for Christmas, he ended up punching the shocked hyung hard on his left cheek and went home crying.
He was so pissed that he forgot how scary his beloved hyung is a scary person, and it was only when he stepped inside the school gate and was dragged by Heechul to the rooftop despite the cold weather on the next day that he remembered about Heechul’s mood swing. Especially about his face.
“You punched me last night, bastard.”
“Sorry hyung. I won't do that again.”
“Sorry won't fix anything.”
“I’ll pay for the surgery, so go and fix your face, hyung. I won't run.”
Heechul chuckled, and held Ryeowook’s neck with both of his hands. Slowly, he pulled the younger’s face to his.
“Stupid, I despise fake beauty. But still, you have to take responsibility.”
“Wha - what is it hyung?”
“Make me a lot of red bean buns for Christmas. And I want the hardboiled egg in your lunch box too. This cheek that you punch feels stinging.”
