The school hallway isn't empty, but it isn't exactly lively either. It's lunch time and fellow students hover around lockers for the daily gossip or sit against the wall to avoid the heat of the spring day outside.
Jinki stands behind his boyfriend, waiting for him to grab his Biology and Psychology textbooks for next period. Jinki takes his time admiring Kibum's face. His cheeks are slightly red, a natural color that was most likely caused by the uncomfortable humidity outside when he was in PE. His brown hair falls into his hazelnut brown eyes a couple of times to which he brings up a delicate index finger to swipe away. Jinki runs his eyes over the soft, cherry blossom pink lips, Kibum biting his it in intense focus while he searches for the right books.
But it seems that Kibum's focus wasn't completely undivided seeing as he glances at Jinki and asks, "Dubu, why are you staring at me?"
"You're pretty." Jinki blurts without hesitation and a subtle flush of heat settles over his own cheeks at the confession. Jinki is shy, but he can be very blunt when it comes to telling the truth, even if it does fluster or embarrass him. He's never been good at not admitting things.
Kibum giggles softly then he's perking up. "Got you!" He says to the last textbook he needed, plucking it out of the locker and shoving it inside the bag.
Jinki's stomach grumbles in that moment and he looks at Kibum and pouts. "Kibummie, can we go to lunch now? I think I might die of hunger."
"Don't be so dramatic." Kibum rolls his eyes fondly and closes his locker. He turns to Jinki and gives him a small peck on the lips.
Jinki caught off guard by the sweet gesture. He carelessly licks his lips before asking, "What was that for?"
"Because I can?" Kibum giggles and shrugs sheepishly.
The taste of faint cherry and plum bursts on his tongue and he's addicted immediately. He wants to kiss Kibum again, wants to get another taste of whatever it is left on his lips. Jinki finds himself gulping with the urge to swoop down and steal a longer, less innocent kiss. But before he can carry out the plan, he's being pulled towards the cafeteria so they can grab their lunch and head outside.
The pair take trays and slide down the row of food assortments, Kibum's plate being half dessert and half actual lunch foods. Jinki picks up an apple, a thing of pasta mixed with chicken, a bread roll, and beans.
Kibum glances over at his elder boyfriend's lunch tray. "Is that all you're getting? Weren't you just complaining about being hungry?"
Jinki looks down at the tray. "This is enough to fill me out, I don't even know if I'll be able to finish it all. We don't all have the appetite of a bear that just got out of hibernation."
"What? This isn't a lot of food." Kibum looks at his own tray, the plastic filled to capacity with food items.
Jinki shakes his head and suddenly the yearning to kiss and taste Kibum's with a hint of fondness stirs in his chest. This time, he acts on it right away, stealing a kiss. Unfortunately, it's only a peck since there are more people in the lunchroom and he doesn't want people noticing their moment.
Kibum's the one caught off guard this time, but he kisses back anyway. "Huh?" He says after a slightly dazed moment.
Jinki can only smirk and nod his head to where the lunch lady is waiting for Kibum to move up and pay. "Move, Kibummie. It's your turn." So they move and pay, then join their friends outside.
Taemin sits snuggled up to Minho, his head resting on his shoulder as he listens to Jonghyun recount a story from his Mathematics class. Jessica sits beside Taeyeon and listens in on the story as well, Amber was on Jonghyun's right and looking like she's half paying attention to the story as he types rapidly on his phone.
Kibum and Jinki join them and dig into their lunch, the taste of strawberry coating Jinki's lips. One lick is a reminder of the kisses shared, but Jinki knows he has to wait. Kibum isn't the type for PDA, excluding both of the previous kisses since Kibum initiated one and Jinki couldn't help himself the second time, but he's reigned in control since then and he doesn't want to make his boyfriend uncomfortable by bombarding him with the bubbling affection he has inside him. So he toughs out the rest of lunch and allows the faint cherry and plum sweetness on his lips to satisfy him for the time being.
