A/N: Valentine's Fic!
Part 1
Roughly two hours later, the sedan was parked in a parking lot right in front of a wooden building. The parking lot itself wasn't big and Kyuhyun was mildly surprised that the wooden building in front of them was a slight bigger hot spring inn than the average, not a huge five star hotel which he had imagined.
"This city was famous for its hot spring and this is the best inn with natural hot spring I can find. If you didn't like it then we can move to a hotel," explained Siwon as he put down the bags from his car.
"I am fine with anything you booked for us," Kyuhyun shrugged and carried his own backpack and pulled his own luggage into the inn, with Siwon beside him.
After checking in with the receptionist, they were given a key and their room was located in the end of the corridor.
Once the room was unlocked, Kyuhyun put down his belongings and observed the room. The room was spacious, with everything made of wood. There was a king-sized bed in the middle of the room stuck to the wall with a wooden bedside table on each side of the bed. A four-door wooden wardrobe was placed on the wall opposite to the bed, and next to it, was the bathroom. There was also a love couch on the furthest side of the wall, next to a glass door leading to the private backyard.
"There is only one bed?" Kyuhyun asked in a high tone as he shot a look at the one booking the room.
"Well, but this is the biggest room here," Siwon smiled shyly and combed his hair with his fingers.
"I am sleeping in the couch," Kyuhyun declared as he quickly made his way to the glass door and sliding it open.
Kyuhyun's surprised face had Siwon joining him to see what caused it. The backyard was actually a small garden with flowers of all colors and in the middle of the garden was a circular pool of steaming hot spring.
"It is beautiful, right?" Siwon seemed pleased and glanced at Kyuhyun.
"It is beautiful," Kyuhyun smiled genuinely and as he looked at Siwon, the older was intently looking at him with an unreadable expression.
"What?" Kyuhyun frowned.
"Nothing," Siwon shook his head, "I just made the right choice choosing this inn."
Kyuhyun rolled his eyes before checking as his watch which read eleven, so they still had 5 hours before the reunion party he dreaded start.
He walked towards his backpack to retrieve his beloved laptop and set it on a table near the entrance door.
"Are you working, Kyu?" Siwon's incredulous voice sounded by Kyuhyun's shoulder as he typed in the schedule for next week.
"Your schedules this week that was cancelled should be done next week as soon as possible, Mr. Choi," Kyuhyun typed faster, not glancing away from the screen.
"Siwon," Mr. Choi corrected his assistant before stretching his arms above his head and fell on the bed.
Only typing noises could be heard in the closed room before Siwon laid on one side, looking at the still working Kyuhyun.
"You know, Kyu, if you want our acting to be realistic, you will have to tell me about yourself," Siwon spoke up.
"I don't think that's necessary," Kyuhyun curtly replied.
"Then tell me why your boyfriend broke up with you."
Kyuhyun turned to his bos-no, his pretend boyfriend, and looked at him with an annoyed look, before turning back to his laptop and resumed his typing.
"I was born in 3rd February 1988 in Seoul Nohwon and my family consisted of my mother, father, and my older sister Cho Ara. I graduated from Kyunghee University and my blood type is A. I weight 68 Kilograms and my height is 180 centimetres. As for why Donghae broke up with me, I didn't bother to ask him," Kyuhyun started talking about himself, the typing never stop.
"So Donghae is his name," Siwon sounded as if he was memorizing it. "What is your favorite color and food?"
"Blue, black and white. I like seafood."
"Your hobbies?"
"Singing, listening to music, watching movies, and play computer games."
"You could sing?" Siwon sat on the bed and looked at Kyuhyun.
"I just like to sing, alright," Kyuhyun glanced at Siwon.
"You should sing for me next time," got ignored by Kyuhyun.
"Then your favorite movies and games?"
"The movies that I deemed okay are My Sassy Girl, Lovers in Paris, Jumong, Dae Jo Yeong, and The Big Swindle. Games I currently am playing is Starcraft and Diablo."
Kyuhyun raised an eyebrow at Siwon's amused expression. He had stopped typing by the third question.
"I didn't know you like those movies and even playing games. You are just so strict every time," Siwon smiled goofily and Kyuhyun turned back to the screen, resuming his typing, trying so hard to hide a small smile.
At twelve-thirty in the afternoon, Siwon walked out the hot springs garden on phone before walking back in and announcing that he had reserved a place in a famous seafood restaurant for lunch. He really had used the information given to him well.
The drive to the seaside restaurant was filled with both of them admiring the view, although Kyuhyun kept his expression straight. The restaurant turned out to be on a ship with a view of the afternoon sea.
"Reservation for Mr. Choi, please follow me," the maître ushered them into a two-seater table right beside the railings of the ship, out looking the breathtaking view.
Both of them then took their seat before scanning the menu. After a long time of pondering, in the end they ordered three types of fish menu, two types of crab menu and a prawn menu.
"So tell me about your college life," Siwon told Kyuhyun as they relaxed with the wine they ordered, with Kyuhyun as the wine specialist.
"It is dull boring and definitely not the college life they pictured in movies," Kyuhyun took a sip of his favorite wine.
"I only have three best friends during four years of college, which we rarely contact each other now, Henry, Zhou Mi and Sungmin," Kyuhyun started. "I was known as a nerd there."
Kyuhyun paused as their orders came and they started to eat before Kyuhyun continued.
"But I was made fun of sometimes by someone called Kangin. So that is why I wanted to prove to him that I wasn't the nerd he always made fun of in college," Kyuhyun took a gulp of the asparagus and crab soup.
"How did you meet Donghae?" Siwon's expression was nothing but serious since Kyuhyun first started to talk.
Kyuhyun ate two spoonful of the meal before talking about his ex.
"He was a senior, one year older than me and he was in the literature club like I was. He was also a nerd like me that time. We became good friends and things happened, we dated."
Kyuhyun ate another spoon full of rice, ignoring Siwon's stare at him.
"Did you feel sad that he broke up?" Siwon asked with a frown.
"I knew it would happen sooner or later. We had started to stop lo- having feelings for each other months ago. Just disappointed, I guess," Kyuhyun shrugged and finished what was on his plate.
Siwon nodded and finished his food too before asking for the bill.
"I should pay for at least my share, Siwon!"
"No, Kyu. As your boss, all costs incurred by the both of us should be on me."
"I don't call you with honorifics anymore!"
In the end, Siwon was the one paying, with that platinum credit card of his, pulling a very annoyed Kyuhyun's hand into the car.
Kyuhyun kept shooting daggers at his pretend boyfriend for the rest of the drive back to their inn, although he couldn't deny that he just had one of his best lunches.
•°•°•
"Hey, Kyu, are you done showering?" a knock sounded in the wooden bathroom.
"Just a minute," Kyuhyun replied back as he rubbed his face under the running warm water before turning it off and wiping his body dry with the provided white towel.
Exiting the bathroom with only towels around his waist, Kyuhyun made his way to the couch where he had put his luggage to retrieve his suit and was wearing it when he realized he was being stared at by the other man.
"What?" Kyuhyun glared at Siwon and felt self conscious as he quickly wore his boxers and covered his scarred torso with the towel.
"You have a nice body," is apparently the only logical retort Siwon could think of before he flushed and looked away.
"Even with those scars?" Kyuhyun scowled. He hadn't felt conscious about his scars anymore since Donghae said it was pretty when they were still dating, but now they broke up and it was Siwon, things were different. Why did he even want to please Siwon?
"They were beautiful and they were part of you," Kyuhyun glanced at Siwon and the other was smiling at him.
"You don't need to force yourself to say that, we are only pretending to be lovers after all," Kyuhyun cleared his throat and hurriedly grabbed his suit before rushing into the bathroom, locking it and ignoring Siwon's call of his name.
Kyuhyun took a deep breath as he hung the suit on the door and rubbed his face with his hands. Why did he even bother to try to please Siwon and got all flustered?
He is just my boss, for god's sake.
And we were only pretending to be lovers. Pretending.
I am never falling in love with him.
Calming himself and chanting the mantra over and over in his head, Kyuhyun slowly wore his suit, fixing the creases and crooks in front of the mirror before stepping out of the bathroom. Siwon was sitting on the edge of the bed, head in his hands and immediately snapped his head when Kyuhyun returned.
"Kyu I-"
"It's fine, are you ready? The reunion party would start in an hour," Kyuhyun simply said as he put his phone into his pocket and wearing his silver watch.
Siwon nodded and walked beside Kyuhyun hesitantly as they walked out the inn, making Kyuhyun felt very guilty. After all, he was the only one on the receiving end.
A very awkward half an hour drive later, the Audi stopped in front of the lobby, with the maître opening the doors for each of them and Siwon let the valet park his car.
The hotel was definitely five stars, looking at its very luxurious decorations.
"Trust Tiffany and the girls to book a place here," Kyuhyun snorted, awkwardness forgotten for the moment.
"Who?" Siwon frowned as they entered the elevator with a few other hotel guests, not ex-college mates thankfully.
"Tiffany and her friends. They were the one organizing this reunion and was known to be the most popular girls in my previous university," Kyuhyun explained, and he started feeling nauseous.
Suddenly he felt warmth enveloping his hand and he looked to the source to see Siwon squeezing his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Siwon grinned and in a second, Kyuhyun found himself relaxing. Right then, the elevator door opened and Kyuhyun braced himself for the worst.
The hallway to the entrance door of the grand ballroom was decorated with pastel colors and there was already a few people that Kyuhyun recognized, although he didn't have the guts to go great them.
"Cho Kyuhyun! Nice to see you again!" Leeteuk, the president of the student council in his university greeted him and patted the younger's shoulder excitedly. Leeteuk was always the mother in the university and he was kind to everyone. He also often stood up to Kyuhyun when Kangin bullied him.
"Nice to meet you, Hyung," Kyuhyun smiled weakly and when Leeteuk's gaze turned to Siwon, he hastily introduced them, "This is Siwon, my um.. Boyfriend, and SIwon, this is Leeteuk."
Leeteuk seemed mildly surprised but he gained his composure and smiled widely, warmly welcoming the tall man.
"Relax, Kyu. Just think of me of your boyfriend and don't get too nervous," Siwon whispered as they enter the main ballroom, decorated with gold and white. Very classic.
"I'm trying," Kyuhyun whispered back, annoyed.
Both of them each took a glass of champagne offered by the waiters and made their way to the food stand. Kyuhyun briefly nodded in greeting at Kibum, who was the same nerd as Kyuhyun, although Kyuhyun was sure Kibum was much more introvert than he was.
"So here is the nerd," A sound startled Kyuhyun as he was filling his plate with proteins, with Siwon beside him eating balanced diet.
Kyuhyun turned and scowled, seeing the person that made his college life hell.
"What do you want?" Kyuhyun sipped his glass of champagne and glared at Kangin.
"The nerd bites now, I see," Kangin guffawed and Siwon chose that moment to step between Kyuhyun and the bully.
"Who are you?" Kangin growled at Siwon, Kyuhyun on the other hand tried to pull his fake boyfriend away.
"I'm his boyfriend," Siwon growled back and Kangin visibly gulped before he glared back and left the couple.
"I can handle it by myself, Won," Kyuhyun grumbled and Siwon just shrugged with a big grin, before continuing to eat.
A plate of barbecue meat later, Kyuhyun's name was shouted from a few distances away before three figures jogged towards where he was standing.
"Kui Xian!"
"Kyuhyun!"
"I thought you are dead," Sungmin mumbled.
"Well, unfortunately not," Kyuhyun shrugged and exchanged glances with Siwon before biting into his meat.
"Why haven't you hang out with us, Hyung? Even your number is not active anymore!" Henry playfully punched Kyuhyun's elbow before the three best friends realized Siwon's presence.
"Well, hello, there, who is this hottie here?" Sungmin batted his eyelashes and Kyuhyun cringed.
"I'm Kyu's boyfriend," Siwon announced, causing a surprised Kyuhyun to blush as he looked to the ground.
"Your boyfriend? I thought you are with..." Zhou Mi trailed away, lost in his thoughts, "No wonder..."
As if on cue, Donghae walked into the ballroom with Eunhyuk's arm linked around his, and Kyuhyun found his anger swirling inside. Surprising everyone, Kyuhyun made his way to the empty balcony on one of the white walls, followed by a confused Siwon.
"Kyu? What's wrong? I thought you were over Donghae?" Siwon's sound sounded hesitant.
"I can't believe it!" Kyuhyun half shouted. Thankfully, there was no one in sight. "He broke up with me because of Eunhyuk!"
"Who is Eunhyuk?" Siwon approached his fake boyfriend and leaned on the balcony stone.
"Donghae's best friend during college, maybe even during high school," Kyuhyun bit his lips as he shook his head again. "He might as well had already cheated on me years before."
"Kyu?" Siwon proceeded to hug the younger and cradled his head.
"He told me they were just best friends. Maybe all this relationship was a lie to start with. Who would want to be with me," Kyuhyun laughed humorlessly and turned away from Siwon, but still hugged by the older. "I'm glad we broke up I guess."
"That's not true, I want-There will be someone who truly love you and want to be with you, Kyu," Siwon stroked his hair and Kyuhyun slowly felt relax. He didn't feel so angered anymore.
Slowly, he lifted his head to look at Siwon. The other man was looking with Kyuhyun with so many emotions that Kyuhyun blushed and looked away. Siwon just sympathized him. That was all. Kyuhyun kept reminding himself of that, but somehow, he felt disappointed inside.
"Do you want to continue to eat or leave hmm? Or talk to your friends?" Siwon stopped hugging Kyuhyun fifteen minutes later, and Kyuhyun almost complaint of the lack of warmth. Almost.
"Let us leave now. I can catch up with my friends some other time," Kyuhyun messed his brown hair as he walked away from Siwon. His mind in swirling emotions.
As they walked out the balcony, Kyuhyun approached his friends first, to tell them that he would retire for the night.
"You better hang out with us every week," Sungmin frowned, not really convinced by Kyuhyun's attempt to convince them that nothing was wrong.
"Take care of him, Siwon," Zhou Mi grabbed Siwon's shoulder in a warning squeeze before letting go and smiling his megawatt smile.
"See you again, Hyung!" Henry waved his hand as Kyuhyun and Siwon walked into the elevator.
"I'm sorry they freaked you out," Kyuhyun shook his head at his beloved friends' antics and glanced at the silent Siwon beside him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Siwon was slightly surprised at the mention of his name and looked at Kyuhyun with a small smile and a shake of his head.
As Siwon's car arrived in front of the lobby, Siwon sighed and rubbed his temples before turning to an oblivious Kyuhyun.
"You drive, Kyu," Siwon nudged Kyuhyun who looked at Siwon as if the other had three eyes.
"What's wrong?" Kyuhyun frowned, feeling strange that his boss whom had never allowed Kyuhyun to drive let him drive now.
"I heard driving will let out your frustration, and I thought I will let you have a taste of my car. But remember to follow the GPS," Siwon merely grinned before motioning Kyuhyun to walk before entering the car himself beside the driver's seat.
"If you are trying to cheer me up, then it's not working!" Kyuhyun laughed as he entered the driver's seat and started driving the sedan.
Kyuhyun started to frown half way through the drive and glanced at Siwon, who was grinning and looking straight at the road.
“Won, I don’t think this is the right path back to the inn,” Kyuhyun commented as he looked at the GPS.
“Don’t worry, it is the right way and we are almost there,” Siwon merely grinned wider and tapped his fingers on his knee. “There,” Siwon then pointed to a small cottage on the far right and Kyuhyun sped up faster.
“That’s not the inn we are stay-,” Kyuhyun trailed away as they approached the cottage which turned out to be a small restaurant.
The cottage itself was similar to a cabin, only bigger and it was decorated with vines and flower plants that snake around the wooden roof and fences, and the whole cottage was decorated with small lights that illuminate in the dark.
Kyuhyun parked the car in front of the cottage where there were already a few cars parked and turned off the engine, before looking at Siwon with a questioning look.
“I thought you might still be hungry or maybe you wanted desserts?” Siwon answered lamely and gave Kyuhyun a reassuring smile.
Kyuhyun was totally unconvinced, but free food never hurts, so he exit the car and walked a step behind Siwon as the taller entered the small restaurant and told the maitre his reservation. Making their way past the tables, they were led into the garden which Kyuhyun couldn’t take his eyes off.
The garden was decorated with flower bushes and a few other plants that Kyuhyun had no idea what it was called but they sure completed the garden theme. There were a cloth tent on in the middle of the garden, decorated in lights and a two-seater table was under the open tent. It was romantic.
“It is Valentine’s Day,” Siwon rubbed his neck and looked at anywhere but Kyuhyun. “We have no one to spend it together with so why not with each other?”
Kyuhyun rolled his eyes but sit on the provided chair, “this is what you should do with your lover, Won.”
Siwon just smiled and sat opposite to Kyuhyun. As the waiter poured them each a glass of red wine, Siwon took out something from under the tablecloth and handed it to Kyuhyun. It was a large bouquet, but instead of flowers, it was filled with all brands of chocolates.
“Figured out you are not the flowers’ man, but everyone loves chocolate,” Siwon grinned and Kyuhyun really hoped that his flushed face wasn’t visible.
“So cheesy, Mr. Choi,” Kyuhyun settled on a smirk but put the bouquet carefully on his laps.
“So you didn’t have any lover yet? That was surprising,” Kyuhyun took a sip of his wine, and a few minutes later, the food was brought in by the waiters and Kyuhyun suspected that Siwon had long before planned it.
“I don’t need one yet,” Siwon simply smiled and looked at Kyuhyun for a second longer before started digging in.
The dinner ended well, and Kyuhyun for the first time in a very long time, Kyuhyun found himself relaxing and laughing as he talked with Siwon.
As they walked out the cottage, Kyuhyun was the one driving again, much to his pleasure while eating bar by bar of the chocolates, drawing an amused laugh from Siwon beside him. Half journey later, Kyuhyun glanced at the owner of the car to find Siwon asleep. And for the rest of the trip back to the inn, a smile was etched on Kyuhyun's face.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Kyuhyun shook the asleep Siwon and the dazed CEO immediately fell on the bed as soon as their room was unlocked.
Kyuhyun brushed his teeth and cleaned himself before slipping into his pajamas and closed the light, walking past the bed to the couch when suddenly a long arm was wrapped around his bed, pulling him to the bed. Instantly, Kyuhyun was enveloped around someone's warmth.
"Won! What are you doing?" Kyuhyun struggled at the unwavering embrace.
"Stay, Kyu, sleep beside me," Siwon murmured, and Kyuhyun shivered at the warm air breathing on his neck.
"I told you I will sleep on the couch! Mr Choi!"
Instead, Siwon hugged him tighter and held him closer, his breath fell evenly. With a sigh, Kyuhyun snuggled deeper and pulled the blanket higher, before started to sing out a tune of his favorite music, feeling thankful for the dark to hide his blushing face and he hoped Siwon couldn't feel his beating heart.
