A soft, freezing breeze blew and he shivered. It was late November and the weather was particularly cold, and he couldn’t prevent his knees from shaking, even though his jacket was rather warm. He looked at his watch again. A 20 minutes delay. And it wasn’t the first time.
“Shit“, he mumbled in his scarf, looking at the end of the street searching for a black Mercedes to appear.
- “Hey! What are you doing here? You’re going to catch a cold!”
Yesung turned around to meet his friend Henry’s big eyes; the boy was covered from head to toe in wool clothing and didn’t seem to suffer from the bleak weather as much as he did.
-“I’m waiting for my dad…He’s late.”
- “Don’t you want Zhoumi to give you a lift? I’m coming home with him.”
Yesung looked at the road again, afraid that if the car arrived at that moment, Henry would know for sure that he was lying. His secret was one of the hardest to hide and keep, even from your best friends…
- “No, no it’s fine. There must be traffic at this hour, he’ll be there soon, I’m sure of it.”
- “Well…I hope he‘ll be there soon…Give me a call when you’re home, right?”
Then, Henry waved a mitten-clad hand at him and hurried to Zhoumi’s white car, which was parked a few meters away. Yesung sighed, shivering again. He didn’t like it. Of course, He would say that He had work, or that He was caught in traffic. It wasn’t the first time he’d heard such an excuse. And now he was quite sick of it. Especially when he knew the truth about the other’s actual reason for his delays…
After what seemed like hours to the poor freezing boy, the big black car finally appeared before pulling on his side of the street.
Yesung opened the door before almost rushing inside the vehicle. It was almost too warm inside, so he removed his jacket and his beanie. As he was shaking his head to put his hair back in place, he met his lover’s eyes in the rear-view mirror. They looked like two black pounds in the dim light of the car. Yesung instantly felt his anger melt.
-“Hi beautiful,” the other said in a deep, warm voice. “I’m sorry I’m late I -”
- “Yeah, I know, you got caught in the traffic after leaving work late, it’s fine, I know that…”
-“ No,” the other said, rolling his eyes in irritation at the tone of his young lover. “I am late because I had something to pick up.”
-“Yeah, whatever,” Yesung answered, crossing his arms over his chest and looking by the window, pouting.
- “Stop sulking. I have a surprise for you.” the older male smirked.
He knew Yesung was tired of waiting. He perfectly knew that the young boy had doubts regarding his life, questions that he’d keep inside his 16-years-old chest. Questions that hurt him, even though his teenage pride refused to admit it.
The ride to the older male’s apartment was about 20 minutes long, and Yesung didn’t say anything during the trip. He was too focused on trying to look angry, and he was trying to recite in his head all the questions he wanted to ask once arrived at his lover’s flat. Of course he was scared of the other’s answers, and that his suspicions were right. But he had to know. It was tonight or never.
They soon reached the luxurious apartment complex. They went up to the 6th floor, and Siwon opened the door of his home. Yesung had never visited his lover’s apartment before, and he was rather impressed. The spacious accommodation fitted the older male.
-“Make yourself at home. Do you want something to drink? Coffee maybe? I bet you must be cold after waiting in this weather. Come sit on the couch, I’ll be right back.” Siwon said before removing his scarf, neatly folding it and going to the kitchen. Yesung sat in the white weather couch and heard the sound of a voicemail engaging itself.
He didn’t pay much attention to the messages until he heard something that made his young heart drop in his chest.
-“Hi baby, it’s Sungmin. I don’t know if you received my texts, but as you didn’t call be back I assume you were busy. Don’t work too hard ok? Try to take some rest. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I’m eventually free this weekend, so we can go to Goyang . My parents will be waiting for us. I can’t wait for you to meet them! Well, call me back! I love you.”
Beep.
It took Yesung about 30 seconds to realize that what he’d just hear confirmed his worse frights. He slowly turned to face Siwon, who was standing in the doorway of the kitchen, his head lowered. He finally stepped up to seat on the other couch facing the one Yesung was sitting on. He put the coffee cup in the table in front of him and sighed.
-“Well… I didn’t want to tell you that way but… I assume it’s my entire fault.”
- “You bet it’s your fault”, Yesung said between gritted teeth, his eyes throwing sparks of anger at Siwon.
-“I never told you it was serious.”
-“YOU NEVER TOLD ME IT WASN’T!” Yesung yelled, standing up from the couch. He was shaking in anger, his fists clenched.
- “Calm down, sit back, I’m going to explain everyth -”
-“There’s nothing to explain Siwon. Oh, I knew it; I knew you were hiding something big from me! Kyunhyun was right, I should date someone my age, like Henry and Zhoumi, not someone who’s fucking 30 years-old and will BREAK MEY HEART!”
- “Wait, you told your friends?” Siwon asked, staring at Yesung wide-eyed.
-“I didn’t. I asked him what he thought about guys our age that were in a relationship with a older person. BUT I DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE SAID IT!”
Suddenly, Yesung send the still full cup of coffee flying on the cream white carpet, spilling the brown liquid all over the floor.
Siwon stood up out of anger and walked to the younger boy.
-“Stop fucking yelling!”
He caught Yesung’s arm in one of his strong, large hands.
-“Who do you think you are? You really think that I can put myself in danger telling my friends, my family that I am in a relationship with YOU? I’m already hiding our little get together from everyone around! I like you, I like you so much that I put myself in a troublesome situation for you!”
He was shaking Yesung as he was talking, his voice louder than before. He slowly seemed to lose his constancy.
-“Oh great, now it’s my fault? Are you kidding me? I TRUSTED YOU!”
-“No you didn’t!”
-“I DID! I gave myself to you, I…I’m losing it Siwon, don’t you get it? I’m not myself anymore, I’m totally screwed if anyone knows about it, I lied to my best friends !”
-“Oh, because you really think that you’re the one to arouse pity? You know what? You’re a stupid spoiled brat,Yesung. You only live for yourself!”
Yesung shook his am away and, tears filling up his eyes, walked away angrily to the door. He was soon caught by Siwon, who took his arm again.
-“No, you’re staying here. I’m not finished.”
- “It’s bad, because I am! I don’t wanna see your face anymore!”
Siwon pulled on the other’s arm strongly to face him.
-“I love you, Yesung !”
-“You’re a damn good liar Siwon,” Yesung said, his voice cracking up with tears.” I almost believed you.”
-“I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t love you! Open your eyes for Christ’s sake!”
- “Please stop… stop now…” Yesung muttered, on the verge of bursting into tears. It was enough, he couldn’t take it. He’d be hurt in the past and was sure that Siwon wouldn’t be the one to break his heart again...
-“I can’t…be with you, Yesung. It doesn’t mean that I don’t love you. I think of you all the time. I love you so much… I might have been a jerk to you, and you’re overreacting. Please, try to understand that I make every possible effort to combine both of my lives. My life with Sungmin, and my life with you. Try to be in my place for a moment. It’s a situation that’s hard to cope with. I’m…I’m trying hard, Yesung. I’m strong enough,I know it. We’ll wait, shall we? We’ll wait until the day we can be together, for real…”
-“I don’t want to wait,” Yesung answered, bursting into tears. All the rage, all the woe that was building inside of his chest eventually broke, and released through flooding tears. Siwon strongly pulled the younger boy to his chest and hugged him.
-“ Shh… don’t cry…I’m here…I won’t hurt you anymore, I promise…”
Yesung was sobbing uncontrollably, his little hands fisting the older male’s shirt. Most of all, over the lies, over the treason, over his sadness, he didn’t want to be separated from Siwon. When his sobbing calmed down a bit, he looked up to meet Siwon’s eyes. Instinctively, one large hand came to lift the younger’s chin, and he bent down to drop a soft, tender kiss on his lover’s shaking lips.
-“I don’t want you to go, Yesung….I need you.”
The smaller boy encircled his lovers’ neck with his arms and kissed him hard on the lips, tears streaking down his face. Siwon slowly deepened the kiss, his arms tight around Yesung’s waist.
Nothing else mattered to Yesung. He only needed him in his life.
The morning after, as a sunbeam woke him up, he slowly opened his eyes. Siwon was here, peacefully sleeping on his stomach, his handsome face resting on the pillow. Yesung smiled, and gave him a small peck on the forehead. Yes, he could wait a couple of more years.
