UNREQUITED LOVER

home

As they approached the apartment, Yeonjun was caught with his mouth gaped open and snoring softly. Kai laughed to himself at the cuteness of a grown man in child-like wonder. He parked the car, opened his door and stretched for a second before he opened Yeonjun's door slowly. Kai reached in to unbuckle Yeonjun's seat belt and carefully lifted him out of the car. As he carried his friend, he noticed that Yeonjun was light to ll)carry; making him cuter. Kai struggled a little with his balance, ascending the stairs trying not to disturb him. After two flights of stairs, they finally made it to the front door. Being as careful as possible, Kai stuffed his left hand into his pocket in search of his keys.

He pushes the door of the condo open with his foot making sure not to make a sound, then using his foot to close it behind him.

(The place was a large open space with full-sized windows, fully furnished and every home cook's dream kitchen. The condo had two decently-sized bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. The kitchen had black marble countertops where new black appliances took up residence. A black-marbled island stood in between the countertop with the sink and the opposite countertop that held the ovens on one side and the refrigerator on the other. The living room was simple with little decor but had a medium-sized rectangle coffee table, a 36' flat screen TV, a gray sectional with two end tables and small side lamps on each. Thanks to his parents who spoiled him, Kai's place looked nothing like a college student's living arrangements.)

Kai walked over to the couch which was about ten steps from the front door and set his best friend down as gently as possible. Still soaked in rain water from outside, Kai moved quietly into the kitchen to put some warm milk over low heat and then proceeded to get some clean clothes from his room for his friend to sleep in before waking him. 'Will Yeonjun fit in my clothes? Everything in here is... a little bigger than him,' Kai immediately recalls that over the past year he grew at least 2 sizes, and since then bought new clothes.

Kai has no choice but to grab the smallest T-shirt he has with the words "Don't Ask." in pink bold print.In the next drawer, Kai takes out a pair of high school basketball shorts that he outgrew. The clothes were going to be loose on Yeonjun but comfortable. Aside from comfort, these clothes were dry and would help prevent illness later.

Kai placed the clean, neatly folded clothes next to Yeonjun and went back to the kitchen to turn off the burner that was heating the milk, just as it began to simmer. Returning to the living room, he looks at Yeonjun, curled into a ball and shivering. Just as he reached out his arm to wake his friend he stopped himself to admire his friend in such a feeble state, but also able to imagine a glimpse of what a future may hold.

Yeonjun had a softer profile with feminine features. Kai leaned and smiled at the sight of him. He was much thinner than the last time he stared at him (Not to sound too creepy). Yeonjun's chin wasn't as round as it had slimmed up. His nose was petite and rounded. A lot of baby fat that was once there was now gone giving his eyelashes more length and curl while complementing the slant of his deep coffee brown eyes. Reaching out his hand, Kai tucked a loose strand of Yeonjun's hair behind his ear then ran his fingertips along the softness of his cheek only to stop when he got to his lips. The thing that fascinated him the most was the way his lips puckered into a perfect pout. Yeonjun's lips seemed so kissable with a hidden desire. Kai didn't know what he was begging for, but he would gladly give it to him.

Kai was curious to know if Yeonjun's lips were as soft as they looked. Thinking about how he just ran his fingertips along Yeonjun's lips, Kai uncurled his hand to do it once more. In one continuous movement across Yeonjun's lips, a jolt of electricity flew throughout Kai's body in excitement. They were soft; as soft as a newborn kitten's purr or a stone that has been smoothed and refined over time by a riverbank. He couldn't quite put words into the sensation as his mind had turned to mush. When Yeonjun didn't stir from the touch, Kai came back to reality and took in a final look at the sleeping beauty in front of him. Yeonjun could tempt any human without trying and Kai happens to be caught up in the moment of his beauty. Yeonjun seemed to be getting prettier as he aged on.
