Title: Out of My League
Rating: PG
Pairing: KyuMin,
Genre: Fluff, Romance,
Summary: Kyuhyun needed to do something for his sister, Ara, and this is about to change his (love)life. Anyone agrees Kyuhyun looks prettier than his sister? ;)
Kyuhyun was playing in the living room when Ara came and stood in front of him. He was sitting on the rug and kept playing despite her elder sister in the way.
"KYU-AH!"
"Please don't block the TV."
Then a ton of gunshots were heard followed by a painful wail of a man.
"Great, my character just got ambushed."
Ara then showed a plastic case in front of Kyuhyun that made him drop his jaw.
"Where'd you get that game?!"
"I know right, it's not for release until next month."
Kyuhyun tried to snatch it from Ara's hands but as always, one step ahead of his little brother.
"What do you want?"
Ara then kneeled, placed the game behind her and took Kyuhyun's both hands in hers.
"Help me."
"Huh?" a confused Kyuhyun asked.
"Take my entrance exams for me."
"What?"
"And please don't tell dad, he's going to disown me."
"You do know what you're asking is going to be physically impossible, don't you? They don't allow students to take exams unless you show an id."
"I got all of those arranged. Just take the exam for me. Please Kyu?"
"I really have a crazy sister."
Ara then took the game behind her and waved it in front of Kyuhyun.
"You know you want it."
Kyuhyun made a pained face and thought about it. But as he looked at that game and how everybody's going to worship him after learning he already has his copy... oh boy.
"Fine, I'll do this for you because I love you, ok?"
"Yeah right, you're doing it for the game."
"Whatever, give me that," and he snatched it away.
-----
Ara showed Kyuhyun a complete set of wardrobe he'll be wearing to the exam. And by wardrobe I mean a wig, a complete set of lady clothes, shoes and make up.
"You know, when you said you got everything arranged I thought you'll just give me an id with your name that has my picture on it."
"Yes, here."
Kyuhyun looked at the ID that was handed to him and saw it was his picture. A lady version of him.
"Um. There is something wrong with this picture."
"You're supposed to be me!" Ara exclaimed.
"A picture of me with your name would be fine."
"Yeah, a guy named Ara would certainly wouldn't make them doubt you." Ara said in a mocking way.
"Actually, it can work."
Ara just stared at Kyuhyun without saying a word.
"Crap.." and she laughed.
"So this is why I am taking your exams for you?"
"Fine, you're the one who's smart in the family." Ara rolled her eyes.
"I'm not smart, I just have a photographic memory."
"Whatever. I don't have that kind of ID so you wear this," she said, pointing at the clothes.
"Are you serious?!"
"You promised! And you said you love me!"
"You know I'm just bluffing you crazy woman."
"Please Kyu, pleaaaase? And this is the only time I'll say this but you're very good looking, you wouldn't have a problem looking like a lady."
An hour later, Ara was right. Kyuhyun looked hella pretty.
-----
Kyuhyun arrived at the University feeling pretty nervous. He wanted to throw a tantrum whenever he passed by a window and see his reflection. He still can't believe he ended up doing this.
He went to find the classroom his sister's name was registered in. Before entering, a young instructor was checking the students before they enter the room.
"Id, please?"
Kyuhyun gave the id with his picture on it and tried to look apathetic as the instructor looked into it.
"Here you go," the young instructor gave him his id back and proceeded to take a seat.
30 minutes later, the instructor gave away the questionnaires and the answer sheets. As Kyuhyun was all ready to answer the test, he saw that the instructor gave him 2 questionnaires. Which kinda pissed him off because he didn't really want to call attention for himself. He walked his way to the instructor's table at the front and showed him the two papers looking pissed.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." The instructor said. The young man then took a paper from the drawer and handed it to him with a smile so cute Kyuhyun can't help but be fazed a little.
Kyuhyun was supposed to thank him but realized he can't really talk due to his deep voice.
[Fuck.] He just tried his best to smile back.
"You're welcome and sorry again." The instructor said.
As he went back to his seat, he saw that the instructor was still looking at him.
[Like hell I would blush with that smile.]
Actually, he was.

"So? So??? How did the exam go?" Ara asked.
"I made a total of 10 mistakes for you so they won't get suspicious," Kyuhyun said as he was taking off the wig in his room.
"What? 10?! that's too many."
Kyuhyun raised an eyebrow at her.
"Fine, fine. The instructor never got suspicious did he?"
And Kyuhyun remembered the smile that guy made.
"Why the heck are you suddenly blushing?!"
_____________________
After a year has passed. it was Kyuhyun's turn to take the exam at the University. As he was walking his way to his assigned classroom, he can't stop his heart from beating too fast.
[Please don't let him be my instructor. Please don't let him be my instructor. Please don't let him be my instructor...]
He arrived at the classroom and got sad it wasn't the same instructor.
_____________________
First day of class.
Every student was already in the room for the morning class. Everyone had no choice but to get to know one another since the professor was late.
"I wonder why our professor isn't still around. Is the class cancelled?" one student said aloud.
"He's just inconsiderate." Kyuhyun responded.
"Who's inconsiderate?" Everyone looked where the voice came from.
It was the same instructor Kyuhyun had been fond of... and he was looking at Kyuhyun.
"I'm sorry class, that I was late on the first day. Crazy faculty meeting and yes it was inconsiderate of me as stated by one student."
Kyuhyun desperately wished for the ground to open and suck him in.
_____________________
Turns out, Mr Lee is a very nice professor. Everyone liked him because he teaches Calculus so easily. He's always smiling, totally friendly with everyone. Everyone except Kyuhyun. It's not like he doesn't call Kyuhyun when his dongsaeng raises his hand for recitation or that he intentionally gives him red marks on his exams. Kyuhyun is actually the top student. It's just that ever since the first day, Mr Lee hasn't smiled at him yet. Ever.
"Don't you think it's because he found out?" Ara said.
"That's silly." Kyuhyun said as he ate his microwavable dinner. He had been sharing a dorm with his sister.
"Wait, why are you so concerned over this? You know he's not biased cos you're still top of the class."
"Uhm."
"You have a crush on him!"
"I really have a crazy sister."
"Doesn't mean I'm wrong! Ha!"

One weekend, Kyuhyun got stuck at the University. He was sitting on the stairs of the University library, waiting for the rain to mellow down. He didn't notice the time when he was studying. Now that he's out, he can't risk to run in the rain because his books would get wet. Plus the distance between the library and the dorm is like 3 kms.
"Mr. Cho."
Kyuhyun looked behind him and saw it was Mr. Lee. He immediately stood up and bowed to him.
"Why are you still here? It's already 7 pm. On a weekend."
"I was doing studying Sir, and didn't notice the time. I can't get out because of the rain."
"Walk with me."
"I'm sorry, what?"
But instead of answering, Mr. Lee just opened his big umbrella and started walking. Kyuhyun just stared.
"I said come on," Mr Lee said.
"Oh."And Kyuhyun immediately walked his way to be beside Mr. Lee.
Kyuhyun felt nervous and intimidated. As they walked beneath the rain and the yellow lights shining from the lamp posts, he didn't dare to break the silence.
"How come you don't smile at me?"
Kyuhyun didn't break it.. at least for a minute.
Mr. Lee was surprised by Kyuhyun's sudden outburst. Kyuhyun stopped and just looked at him.
"I don't know if I did anything at you but I think it's very rude. Okay, I knew I was very judgmental when I said you're inconsiderate but you really were late! That could be my fault too and I am very sorry about that but-"
"Is that what you thought that is?" Mr Lee asked.
"...there's something else?"
Mr Lee just laughed. He literally did, like for a whole minute.
"You are one quirky person, Kyuhyun. " Mr Lee winked at him, " Come on, I'll walk you to your dorm."
Kyuhyun was feeling very confused the rest of the way. [Did I do something else that might upset him? Wait, so he WAS angry at me? But how? Wha-] He saw his dorm building at a distance.
[Ara's dorm that is!]
"Thank you very much Sir but it's ok if you just walk me til here."
"But it's just a block away and-"
"Thank you again Sir, see you on Monday!" Kyuhyun smiled and ran.

Monday came and everything changed. A good kind of change that is.
Kyuhyun was walking at the hallway on a sunny morning in the University when he saw Mr. Lee was coming his way. He already looked down because he knew he would be ignored again when...
"Don't look so down, Kyuhyun. It's a fine day." Mr Lee said in passing.
Kyuhyun looked back and saw that Mr Lee was also looking back at him. Smiling.

After spending a day doing papers and creating reports, Kyuhyun went out to the local bar and shared a drink with his friends.
"Ah crap, this is really a tough sem." Kyuhyun said after he drank a glass of beer.
"Tell me about it." his classmate, Eunhyuk agreed.
"It's like you just want to do something crazy, you know?" Donghae suggested.
"Is that a dare?" Yesung asked.
"Unless we force someone to do it," Kangin smirked. And they all looked at Kyuhyun.
"Damn you, guys."
"Hey why is Mr Lee smiling at you now?" Eunhyuk joked.
And everyone continued teasing Kyuhyun.
"How about this?" Leeteuk showed his phone where Mr. Lee's number is showing and they cheered.
"CALL HIM, CALL HIM, CALL HIM!"
Yesung took Kyuhyun's phone and started dialing.
"HEY!"
Kyuhyun's eyes widened and snatched his phone right when his hyung pressed call.
"No, you crazy bastards."
"Awww what a wuss," Kangin mocked.
They all just laughed.
"GAH!" Kyuhyun dropped his phone on the table when he felt it ring.
It was Mr. Lee. Everyone cheered again.
"Answer his call!"
"If I get expelled for this you all will suffer!!!" Kyuhyun threatened, took his phone and walked out of t he bar.
His phone was still ringing and he seriously was blushing badly. He can't decide if he wants to answer it but decided against his judgement and pressed answer.
"Yeoboseyo?"
"Hi, yes. This number called me and was wondering why?"
"HE ANSWERED THE CALL! KYUHYUN! KYUHYUN! KYUHYUN!" Kangin was at the door and shouted this at the bar. Everyone was now chanting his name.
"Kyuhyun? Is that you?" Mr. Lee asked.
"Uhm, yes." His hands was shaking.
"Oh," and Mr Lee chuckled.
Kyuhyun almost felt himself melting as he heard him laugh. [Do I really like this guy?!] He turned around, smiled and gave everyone who's watching the finger and walked away.
"I'm sorry about that, it's just that the guys were messing around and Leeteuk hyung did dial your number by mistake."
"Ah haha, it's okay. It was a boring night anyway. How are you?"
"[Can't freaking stop smiling.] I'm okay, sir. Just had a few drinks after doing some reports."
"Going back to your dorm now?"
"Yes."
"Okay, well you take care."
"Thank you, sir."
"Oh, and if you like wine, you should invite me sometime. I'd really enjoy sharing a bottle with you."
Kyuhyun's night just reached its peak.
