It was just any other day of training and Sooyoung was found sitting lazily in an abandoned practice room, back resting on the wall, fingers fiddling over her tangled earphones . It was lunch time and surprisingly, she was not at all excited to see food. In fact, she hasn’t even been thinking of food all day long. She wasn’t, because she was thinking of him instead.
She rested her head on the wall, eyes closed as she heaved a sigh. This is that room. The room where she first met him, and she remembered so clearly how his dark eyes looked at her that day, she was a newbie who had been really, really, really afraid of the sudden change in her life, crying all her tears out but his soft smile reassured her that everything would be alright. And thank God it did become alright. They’ve became close friends and Sooyoung wondered if it had been love at first sight or it was a feeling that was developed overtime.
A finger brushing past her hand caused her to snap her eyes open, only to be shocked by the image of intruder. “Hey”, he was smiling gently, and she didn’t know if it was lack of food that caused her stomach to flutter.
“Hey, Kyuhyunnie”, she echoed, watching him as he snatched away the earphone she was fiddling with, sitting beside her before untangling the earphone himself.
“So, why are you still here?” he asked after he managed to untangle the earphone, handing it back to her.
“Is it a wrong thing?” she offered him a side of the earpiece, which he gladly accepted, stretching his feet in front of him.
He chuckled at her statement, “I’m not saying it is, it’s just so not like you to linger here during lunch hours”
She nudged him hard that he almost fell down. “Yah! What do you mean by that?!”
He looked at her innocently, still recovering from the sudden impact. “By what?”
“Are you saying that I’m a pig?!” her hands found its way to hit him gently on the arm.
Kyuhyun chuckled even more, the sound of his laughter caused tiny shivers down her spine. “When did I ever say that?”
Just the sight of him looking at her made her smile widely. “You didn’t but that’s what this is what this conversation is going anyway”
He shook his head, “You’re just hungry Soo”, he retorted, and was fast enough to stop the hand that was about to hit him again. Her hand was now enclosed by his warm one, she doesn’t pull back, and neither did he, so their hands remained like that, intertwined as it lay forgotten (but not really) on the ground. Sooyoung wondered if Kyuhyun could hear her erratic heartbeat now that they were so close.
“Sooyoung-ah” he said after a while, and Sooyoung turned her attention from smiling at the distant window to him.
“Hmm?”
“Your hands are soft”, Sooyoung looked at his shy smile then at their intertwined fingers before twitching her lips into a smile. “Well, they usually are”, she said proudly.
“I see”, Kyuhyun was now rubbing circles in her slender fingers using his thumb while she tried to distract herself by drawing imaginary lines on her ipod.
“So, why are you here again?”
“I don’t know, just thinking about things”, she shrugged
“What things?” he shifted his position sidewards so he can have a clearer view of her.
“Things..” You for that matter. But Sooyoung choose not to say the last part.
Silence.
“Sooyoung-ah”, his deep voice momentarily stopped her from fangirling inside. (She’s so close to Kyuhyun. Her hands in his. his hands)
“Hmmm?”
“Is there someone you like right now?”
She coughed loudly, shocked by his sudden question. Her actions caused a chuckle from him. Perhaps he knew?
“Wae..Waeyo?” she tilted her head sideward, watching him hide a smirk.
“Because I know someone who likes you”, his dark eyes are boring into her and she can’t help but feel conscious. Yuri is so going to kill her later because she’s so sure of screaming her guts out when she came back to their dorm.
She managed to hit him again using her free hand (the one not enclosed by his hands) “You’re joking” but he caught her hand before she can pull it away. She is now facing him, both hands enclosed by his, her knees touching the side of his legs.
“Sooyoung-ah” Sooyoung had no time to respond for the moment it was said, her lips was enclosed by his. She’s afraid her heart would come out of her chest, her toes are curling and she closed her eyes to feel the softness of his lips.
He pulled away with a smile which turned into a smirk when he caught sight of her dazed expression.
“I’m not joking at all” he said ever so slowly. Damn. his voice. It kills.
She ignored her inner thoughts which screamed Cho Kyuhyun! to nudge him using her knees. “That was my first kiss you know” she was ought to become angry but she can’t help the wide smile creeping on her face.
His smirk even widen as he said the words. “Mind if I steal your second?”
She pouted, not approving nor disapproving anything, while he laughed heartily, “I’ll feed you?” he offered causing another slap from her legs.
“If I receive another hit, I’m going to steal your third kiss as well” he pretended a glare, before smiling slyly.
Sooyoung returned the smile, "That would not be stealing anymore because you already told me"
And that was how her second kiss was stolen.
Sooyoung just knew Kyuhyun was not called evil maknae for nothing. and she won’t mind if he steal up to 100 kisses from her.
