polaroid love | sunki

chapter 9 (폴라로이드-러브)

monday came sooner than usual- and it was finally the annual trip day. the students waited for the bus in a queue-suddenly in like a bundle of sunshine a pink haired boy, in white full sleeved shirt came running towards the bus. he was beautiful. the blond male stood there with heeseung, sunghoon and jungwon- sipping on his favorite lemon kombucha.

"ni-ki!!!"

the voice startled ni-ki and when he looked in the direction, he couldn't take his eyes off the pink haired male who came running towards him with a beaming smile plastered on his face.

"is this sunoo?" sunghoon asked with a smile. jungwon was still not close to him since they radiated completely different behavioral patterns. sunoo was too bright and bubbly for his liking- but it doesn't mean that he hated the latter.

sunoo chuckled when sunghoon nudged at him out of surprise. sunoo was busy smiling with heeseung and sunghoon who were on the contrary busy telling sunoo how beautiful he looked in the pink hair.

and there was our lover baby ni-ki, who stared at sunoo- observing every move of the now pink haired male. he didn't even blink.

"ni-ki" jungwon poked at him gently "are you even listening?"

ni-ki was brought back to his senses and he realised they had started talking about what food they were carrying with them, but obviously- the long blond haired boy was busy staring at the pink haired male.

"aish" sunghoon slapped ni-ki's arm "stop staring at sunoo and tell us"

"what?" sunoo and ni-ki said in unison... ni-ki instantly looked away to hide his blush. he turned around and shook his hair which resulted in his hair to sway back and forth again. man he looked like a baby when his hair did a little dance movement whenever he moved.

"the bus will start moving- everyone line up!" jake said from the front

"guys be in order!" said jay beside him.

"jay hyung goodmorning!" jungwon who was quiet for quite a long time- was all smiley now. jay looked at the younger, muttered a goodmorning and turned back to line everyone up.

"its okay" heeseung elbowed jungwon, who was now pouting.

ni-ki noticed how line the was being formed and sunoo stood right infront of him now.

"you look pretty in pink hair" ni-ki was looking somewhere else while ruffling the older's hair. he was afraid of blushing again, poor baby.

"thanks" sunoo said slowly. sunoo's attention was suddenly caught by the bright pink polaroid camera the blond was carrying with him.

"a polaroid camera" ni-ki said with a smile, flashing his teeth at the older "you capture the moments that you never want to lose"

sunoo smiled at ni-ki, when he said that. he really liked the idea behind his thoughts.

"lets go" sunoo grabbed the younger one's arm as they ascended the stairs. everything was going fine but just when ni-ki was about to sit in the bus, he felt something run down his nostrils. his heart stopped for a second. its not what he thinks it is. please. not.

it was blood. blood gushed out of his nostrils. he hated this so much- his hands trembled that he almost collapsed beside sunoo, trying his best to hide his condition from the pink haired boy. he hastily took out his handkerchief from his back pocket and rubbed the mess off.

thank god no one noticed. pheww

"ni-ki?" sunoo gave him a skeptical look "is something making you uncomfortable??"

the poor boy was still trembling. two hands grabbed him close- that's when he realized how small and gentle sunoo was. he was now hugging the trembling boy in his arms. its good that they took the back seat else by now the car would have stopped and ni-ki might have been sent home.

he looked at sunoo once and found himself lost in his starry eyes.

"i'm sorry" ni-ki mumbled "i have been very bad to you-"

"its alright ni-ki, we're close now, right-?" sunoo asked with a smile, his hand- still placed on the younger's upper arm.

ni-ki placed his head on sunoo's shoulder. but realisation hit him suddenly. what am i doing? he quickly raised his head and asked for permission.

"can i?" he asked in a low voice. he noticed the prominent reddish tone in sunoo's cheeks and smiled.

"y-yes"

"i'm tired" ni-ki said placing his head on sunoo's shoulder. he was feeling weird since he took his medicines yet this happened.

its good that sunoo didn't see.

"you look cute while blushing" ni-ki mumbled before poking sunoo's cheeks with his finger.

i won't stay longer. i just want to live happily till the time i am here. but- am i not deceiving sunoo, by not letting him know my condition? he thought

it was crystal clear that he had some effect on sunoo. he wanted to confess and let the pink haired male know before he leaves them forever.

his time was approaching fast.

before he didn't have a reason to live, so he wanted to leave fast.

now that he has a reason to live for, he doesn't want to leave.

a drop of tear rolled down ni-ki's eyes.

fate was indeed mean to him.
