CHAPTER 2
“And then,” Kyuhyun heaved a breath. “She told me to be her boyfriend.”
Yesung and Donghae exchanged glances and smirked. Seems that our plan worked, they mentally told themselves.
“So that’s how you ended up carrying all of her stuff today?” Donghae mumbled as he took a bite from his mochi balls, obviously oblivious to Kyuhyun’s glare. Yesung, on the other hand, was busy teasing his dongsaeng by saying cheesy love quotes.
“And you call yourself friends. Really, guys?”
Yesung stopped midway of his speech and spoke, “Well, we’re just happy for you.”
Donghae nodded in agreement. ”Just think of this as a gateway to date her, Kyu.”
Kyuhyun was about to open his mouth and scream when they suddenly ran away for their lives, winking at him in the process.
“Why were they leaving you behind?” Kyuhyun froze. He recognized that voice. He looked around and found his ‘girlfriend’ in her cheerleading outfit. His eyes travelled to her milky thighs. Realizing what he did, he shook his head.
Fuck you Kyuhyun, you’re turning into a disgusting pervert!
He wasted no time taking the pink duffel bag from his shoulder and shoved it in front of her, looking away. She blinked twice and looked up at him in confusion.
“Change.”
“Eh? Why?”
Kyuhyun sighed. “Because…I don’t want people to think that even nerds like me…w-want to have a share with popular girls like you. If they knew, all the jocks would probably kill me.”
Sungmin tiptoed and kissed his cheek before taking the bag from his hands.“I thought you’d say that.” She chuckled and left. Kyuhyun stood there wide-eyed until he heard some gasps from around him. He snapped out of his trance and looked sideways.
He facepalmed.
He forgot he was in the schoolyard and everyone was now looking at him after what Sungmin did.
ㅎㅎㅎ
“So…where are we going?”
Sungmin clung to Kyuhyun’s arm as if it was her lifeline. The latter, on the other hand, was rolling his eyes on how Sungmin was trying to act all lovey-dovey because basically, people from their school were everywhere and the girl couldn’t waste any chance to pretend - or make a scene according to Kyuhyun, himself.
“What the -.” Sungmin tugged his arm, reminding him of what he should do. He cleared his throat.
“Oh. Uhm…Minnie, where do you want to go?” he sweetly asked her and he cringed inside, obviously opposing the sweet thing that he has done.
Sungmin just continued to smile, dragging Kyuhyun to anywhere that her feet could bring her. They passed several shops - especially those that endorse cute stuffs and good Lord, everyone knows how she has a great fetish with them - and the girl just took a glimpse at some. Kyuhyun had been allowing himself to be brought to nowhere in particular as he looked up to the sky and studied the possible weather forecast. He has not listened to the news since this morning.
“Min…”
“Hmmm?” Sungmin replied, not paying attention to what Kyuhyun was saying as she dragged him towards a pet shop. “I want that!,” she pointed out to him. Kyuhyun looked at the bunny, whose paws were planted on the glass window, and wrinkled his nose.
He squatted and took a good glimpse of the said animal. It seemed to be aware of Kyuhyun’s action that it actually stuck its nose out to him. “Do you really want to buy this animal Min?,” he asked as he took a glance sideways. Sungmin’s reaction caught his eye; her fox-like eyes were actually sparkling and her pouty lips were curved in to a big smile, no a grin, and Kyuhyun couldn’t help but to stare and tell himself that it has actually been long since he has seen her like this.
I guess she really wants it.
Kyuhyun heaved a sigh and pulled the dazed Sungmin inside the store. The girl looked up at him, bewildered, and he replied softly, “Let’s just say that this is my first gift for my girlfriend.” Sungmin cheeks were tinted pink as Kyuhyun flashed her a small smile and as the latter’s hands took hers in his own. He is warm, she noted and Sungmin, reluctantly, let go of his hand after she looked away. She, then, proceeded to the counter to purchase the bunny she wants.
Kyuhyun roamed around the shop as Sungmin was signing the papers for adopting the pet. His hands were in his pockets and he was glancing down, from time to time, at his right one. It felt empty, especially when Sungmin let it go. He did not know what he was feeling so he shook it off and tried to avert his thoughts to the owner’s parrot that was insulting him.
“Kyuhyun-ah,” Sungmin called from the counter and Kyuhyun immediately jerked his head and muffled a response. He trudged to the counter, the parrot at his heels. The owner looked up, grinned, and raised his right arm for the parrot to land on.
“It seems that Mr. Toodles had a nice chat with you,” he softly spoke and Kyuhyun could only nod at the old man. Sungmin brought her newly bought bunny to her chest as she caressed its fur; Kyuhyun was looking at her absentmindedly. The owner cleared his throat and said, “Such a cute couple you are. I’m glad that that bunny is in good hands.” Kyuhyun and Sungmin looked at each other, looked away after a second and blushed for the nth time that day. The old man chuckled and bid his goodbye. Sungmin shyly said hers as she went out with Kyuhyun at her heels.
ㅎㅎㅎ
Kyuhyun shivered, his arms wrapped around his torso. He held his jacket tightly to close the small gap between them both that would keep him from shivering as he assumed. However, it did not do good to him. This deltoid’s too small. Note to self, I should workout soon.
Kyuhyun shivered once more and looked to his right. He noticed Sungmin’s head lowered and her body shaking. He mentally hit himself for not being such a gentleman. He took his jacket off of him and wrapped it on both of them. He snaked his right arm on his waist and brought her closer just to share the little body heat that they have left.
“I knew that this was going to happen,” he mumbled.
Sungmin held a hand up and slapped his shaking arm. “Sh-shit. Then why didn’t you t-tell me?!” Kyuhyun shrugged and just huffed on his free hand. He looked up to the sky and remembered something.
“Hey Min, do you remember what we do during these times just to get to your home faster?”
Sungmin looked up at him questioningly. He smiled.
“We run.”
Kyuhyun let go of his jacket and put it over Sungmin, buttoning the lower half so her body would be partly covered. He knelt down, his back facing Sungmin. “What am I supposed to do?” Sungmin asked.
“Look, I may not be the strongest man in the world - and shit, I don’t workout - but who cares? Just get on my back, secure the bunny inside the jacket, and we’ll run to your house like we used to.”
“Do we even do this before?”
Kyuhyun rolled his eyes and replied, “I wouldn’t suggest this if we haven’t even tried.”
Wordlessly, Sungmin got on and Kyuhyun wrapped her thighs around his waist. He stood up, staggering at first, but has finally managed to carry her on his back. He raised his eyebrows and craned his neck just to see Sungmin burying her face on his shoulder. I can’t believe she’s lighter than my usual backpack, he thought as he started to jog under the pouring rain.
ㅎㅎㅎ
“Look at you!” Mrs. Lee’s hands flew to Sungmin’s cheeks and cupped them. Sungmin sneezed upon the sudden contact and her mother choked on a forced sob.
“And you too, young man!” Mrs. Lee’s hand flew to his face not to cup them, but to slap him. Hard. “Look at what you did to my little girl!” Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin apologetically and sneezed loudly, causing Sunny to look at them lazily from her place in the living room.
Sungmin pouted at her mom and held her shoulder. “I’m fine, Eomma. Besides, I think this YOUNG MAN of yours needs to be given much more attention than me.” Both women looked at Kyuhyun who had his hands tugging at the hems of his shirt, clutching for his dear life. Kyuhyun had managed to give them an anxious smile to which he sneezed to thereafter. Mrs. Lee’s attitude towards him changed into a perfect 180 degrees as she touched his forehead and nodded at her daughter to accompany him upstairs. Sungmin draped her arm around his shoulders; he hung unto her for a moment, allowing himself to be dragged.
The whole ordeal - and it meant Sungmin bringing Kyuhyun up to her room - did not take long and minutes later, the boy found himself wrapped up in 3 layers of comforters as he curled on Sungmin’s bed. “Min…” he croaked just in time to hear the door creak open and reveal a newly bathed Sungmin with a small basin of steamy water at hand.
“Oh, are you well now Kyuhyun-ah?” Kyuhyun didn’t say a word and just stood up but he suddenly screamed, clutched his head, and fell back unto the bed. “Well, I guess not.”
Sungmin settled the basin down and wiped the wet towel on Kyuhyun’s forehead. It went on like that as silence ensued between them and soon enough, the latter’s breathing evened out. Sungmin sighed and got up, turning off the lights. She stood beside the bed and reached for the lampshade to turned it off but a hand yanked her down beside the sleeping guy.
Kyuhyun unconsciously wrapped his arms around Sungmin’s waist making her blush for almost the hundredth time already. “I miss you…Mr. Funky,” Kyuhyun suddenly moaned out. Sungmin rolled her eyes and almost pried herself away if not for the fact that the former was sick.
“I guess, I’m just his Zerg pillow for the night.”
Definition of terms:
1. Deltoid - it is a muscle that is located in the shoulder area. the deltoid will be visible when someone works out and is mostly mistaken as biceps or a part of the biceps.
2. Mr. Funky - he is Kyuhyun's special Zerg pillow. it was Sungmin's first birthday gift to him when he turned 10 and she even whined because Kyuhyun thought it was a REAL alien at first.
