Oolong and Macchiato | Kyuhyun/Ryeowook
PG | Fluff ?
Differences can make you stronger. But what if you are too different?
Ryewook wakes up to the deafening shrill of his alarm clock, perched on the night stand. The clock reads 6:30 and he rubs sleep off of his eyes. Getting up slowly, he headed towards the sink to wash his face, his huge pajama shirt falling an inch longer than his boxers.
He puffs his pillows and places it over the smoothened comforter, stacking the pillows one on top of the other. Then he trudges to the kitchen and cooks himself breakfast before taking a shower. And by 7:30, he’s already by the porch making sure his door locks are intact before slipping out the door, ready to begin another day.
7:30, Kyuhyun’s phone says and he scrambles out of the bed, screaming in the process as his knee bumped the foot of the bed.
“Hyung! You didn’t wake me up!” He shouts by the hallways where he’s sure Donghae can hear him, running towards the shower after piling his sheets and pillows under his duvet. He heard a soft “I did! Twice!” resounding from the first floor and there are sounds of clanking utensils.
He emerges from the shower after not more than 10 minutes, hair dripping, and mouth fresh with probably some of the mint toothpaste left at the surface of his tongue.
7:45 and he’s already grabbed a piece of toast from Donghae’s prepared breakfast, running towards his usual route to the bus station before halting as he peered on his watch.
Kyuhyun lives half a kilometer away from the 8th block station and a kilometer away from the 7th block station. He usually takes the 7:50 bus on the 8th block station but this time he’s already missed it so he heads towards the 7th block station waiting for the 8:00 bus.
Ryeowook lives at the 15th block, 15 blocks away from the company. Ryeowook’s bus arrives at 7th block station every 8:00.
He’s sitting on his usual place, 5th seat on the left wing of the bus, staring at the passing scenery outside the window. The bus’ radio screeches from the speakers 3 seats away from him with the daily news Ryeowook rarely pays attention to.
“Is this seat taken?” Someone asks and Ryeowook looks up with a smile before shaking his head and scooting closer to the window.
“Thanks” The man says breathlessly, his hair slightly wet with either his morning shower or his morning sweat.
The man has a puffy metallic brown hair, his face, pale against the morning light with close a close to fading acne marks, and sweat drips down his jaw, to his already sweat drenched shirt.
“Is something wrong?” The man asks and Ryeowook’s cheeks heated up realizing only now that he’s been staring.
“N-no. Nothing. Sorry.” He says and turns back to the window instead.
The man fumbles with his bag and something fell on Ryeowook’s feet. He bents down and picks it up. A sandwich with a blue post-it note with the words Kyuhyun-ah, good luck on your job! ♥♥♥
Must be from his girlfriend, Ryeowook thinks before handling the sandwich back to the man. Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun was shocked at first, when did strangers give away sandwiches? But then when he saw the blue post-it, realization dawned into him. “Oh. Donghae Hyung.” He whispers, taking the sandwich from the other man and bowing slightly before turning and started eating his breakfast.
Ryeowook turns his head away for the 2nd time and smiles. Or Boyfriend. He tells himself.
The bus passes by block 2 and Ryeowook raises his hand to press the button for his departure in the next stop when someone’s hand caught his.
He turns his head to the side and his eyes widened, seeing Kyuhyun’s face close to his. “Block 1?” Kyuhyun asks and Ryeowook fell back to his seat with a loud thump and his head hitting the window a bit harshly.
“Are you okay?” Kyuhyun frowns at him and he couldn’t control the redness his face shows right now.
“You startled me!” Ryeowook squeals, and the other just stared for a minute before chuckling, pressing his hands onto his mouth to muffle his laugh.
The bus halts and the door opens. Ryeowook stands up with a pout on his lips leaving the still laughing man on their seat.
“You work here too?”That Kyuhyun man asks as he caught up with Ryeowook in the elevator.
“Y-yeah.” Ryeowook manages to reply without blushing, remembering his earlier squealing.
“What department are you in?” He asks again before looking at the elevator buttons, seeing the 12th floor button pressed. “Oh, 12th floor. Marketing department, under Heechul-shi?”
He answers his own question and Ryeowook just nods.
“I’m at the 12th floor too. On the west side though. Finance department under Leeteuk-shi” He continues, and Ryeowook again just nodded.
The number 12 above the elevator doors blinks red and the door splits open. They get off the elevator and Ryeowook was about to turn right towards the Marketing department when Kyuhyun grabbed his arm.
“I’m sorry I didn’t have the chance to catch your name.” He says softly before letting Ryeowooks hand go, flashing a wide grin and offering his hand, “I’m Cho Kyuhyun.”
Ryeowook looks at him for a second before smiling his shy smile, “Kim Ryeowook.”
He reached out to shake Kyuhyun’s hand in return when the elevator door suddenly opened revealing Park Leeteuk and a very brightly dressed Kim Heechul. Heechul raises an eyebrow before walking with Leeteuk towards the Finance department but not without muttering something that the whole office can hear.
"There hasn’t been any romance going on around this office after Teukie and I." He says and Leeteuk’s blood rose to his face.
“Ryeowook-shi” Kyuhyun knocks on Ryeowook’s office door for the 3rd time the next day, with this time, a can of juice in his hands. Ryeowook takes the juice and places it on top of his desk along with the sandwich and soda Kyuhyun brought him from his previous two visits.
“You don’t have to follow everything that Heechul-hyung says, you know.” Ryeowook tells him from behind his laptop. Kyuhyun smiles and sits in front of Ryeowook’s desk inside his small office.
“Then can I just stay here instead?” Kyuhyun asks and Ryeowook looks at him with furrowed brows.
“Are you hitting on me?” Ryeowook asks and Kyuhyun laughs too hard, Yesung from the office next to Ryeowook needed to knock on Ryeowook’s door just to hush him down.
“I already have a lover” Ryeowook lied, and Kyuhyun smiled.
“Heechul-hyung told me otherwise.”
“I’m not gay.” Ryeowook says.
“I know.” Kyuhyun grins. “Heechul-hyung said you’re bi.”
“I don’t date people with boyfriends.” Ryeowook turns back to his laptop and started typing again.
“I don’t have a boyfriend.” Kyuhyun frowns at him, Ryeowook needed a double take.
“Donghae?” Ryeowook asks and the frown on Kyuhyun’s face distorted a little bit more Ryeowook mustered all his control not to laugh.
“Are you accusing me of having a…. that…. That… kind of relationship with my own brother?” Kyuhyun snorts and shivers and glares at Ryeowook.
“…. I don’t drink coffee.” Ryeowook says after a while, and Kyuhyun’s distorted face turned into a handsome smile.
“Heechul-hyung said you’re all tea.”
“Finally having a date? After two weeks?” Heechul’s head pops out from his office door just as Ryeowook and Kyuhyun passed by.
“Yes.!” “No!” Kyuhyun and Ryeowook said at the same time making Heechul roll his eyes.
“No.” Ryeowook said firmly. “We’re not having a date. We’re having tea.” He said and Leeteuk’s very high pitched laugh reverberated from inside Heechul’s office.
“He’s still in denial stage.” Kyuhyun tells them, and Ryeowook gives him a hard slap on the arm before walking away.
Ryeowook orders Oolong tea, and Kyuhyun orders Macchiato. Ryeowook frowns, thinking about all the caffeine in Kyuhyun’s drink.
“It calms my nerves.” Kyuhyun told him the 2nd time they’re 'having tea'
“But still. It’s not good for your health.” Ryeowook says, taking a sip of his tea.
“Don’t worry I’m not yet dying.” Kyuhyun tells him and Ryeowook just gives him a long suffering look.
Kyuhyun picks his chopsticks and transfers the carrots Ryeowook picked out of his meal to his plate.
Ryeowook only eats carrots during Mondays and it’s another thing Kyuhyun finds so amusing about him.
“I don’t want to be orange!” Ryeowook exclaimed on a Tuesday when Kyuhyun asked him why he picks out his carrots. “Carrots have this beta-carotine thingy which is color orange, and if you had excess of it, the orange thing will cross your blood stream and will make your skin orange! Eating carrots once a week is only enough.”
So Kyuhyun eats Ryeowook’s carrots. Half wanting to annoy Ryeowook’s inner health freak, and half wanting to prove Ryeowook that people doesn’t turn orange that easily.
“It was damn funny” Heechul laughs, slapping Leeteuk on the arm as the other smiled fondly at the two.
Heechul was inside the office’s kitchen when he spotted Kyuhyun trying to pin Ryeowook on the wall. He was filming the whole incident and he actually squealed when Kyuhyun kissed Ryeowook.
It was demanding and sweet, and Ryeowook was so submissive Heechul thought they’ll be having sex right then and there when suddenly Ryeowook pushed Kyuhyun away.
“You taste like coffee!” Ryeowook squeals and Kyuhyun’s jaw dropped.
Ryeowook meets Donghae one afternoon when Kyuhyun takes him home. He’s a lot different than Kyuhyun. Actually totally opposite. Maybe because they have different fathers.
Donghae cooks , while Kyuhyun can only eat. Donghae cleans the house when Kyuhyun ends up messing it more when he’s trying to clean. Donghae wakes up early, early enough to wake the very heavy sleeper Kyuhyun.
Donghae is practically like Ryeowook. And Ryeowook is the total opposite of Kyuhyun.
“I’m trying!” Kyuhyun shouts from Ryeowook’s bedroom as he piled the pillows and sheets under the duvet. Ryeowook comes in and frowns.
He pulls the duvet off and flattens the sheets before placing the blanket back and piling the pillows one on top of the other.
Kyuhyun comes out of the shower with dripping hair and Ryeowook follows his drop trails with a mop in his hands. Ryeowook finally gets a hold of him and blow dries Kyuhyun’s hair.
“It’s been a month and you still don’t know how to fix the bed.” Ryeowook tells him, and Kyuhyun grins sheepishly. He hugs Ryeowook from behind and whispers to his ear. “I don’t have to learn that, right? You’re here to do it for me.” He says and Ryeowook pouts.
He turns Ryeowook around and cups his face. “Do you know what love is?” He asks and Ryeowook smirks up at him.
Kyuhyun kisses Ryeowook, and this time Ryeowook doesn’t pull away.
“Love is the only reason why I’d exchange coffee for tea.”
