Sacrifice | SUNOO X ENHYPEN

004

3rd POV :
It's already been a week since Sunoo enrolled here. To say it's going nicely was an understatement. As far as it is, no one bothered or bullied him. Even though it mostly is because he tried his best to minimize speaking or interacting with people. Yes, Jay and Jungwon included...

But you see... today's situation kinda flustered him though. His usual routine which are attend classes and going to rooftop on his recess time, somehow couldn't happen today.
Turns out, today the door to the rooftop suddenly being locked, and Sunoo completely have no idea where to go right now.

Geez... my next class is literally in 2 more hours... think Sunoo, think!! Where should i go...?

When he's wondering around in the hallway, Sunoo could see from the window, there's an empty bench under the tree on the outside. Seeing that spot seems so quiet, a little bit isolated, and somehow peaceful, Sunoo tries his best to make his way to get there.

After Sunoo arrived at that spot, he's so relieved that it is still empty, then he quickly take a seat there. Feeling calm and peaceful for awhile because of the nice surroundings, make him comfortable enough to take off his mask and jacket, placing it beside him, and he closes his eyes automatically.

The weather was nice anyway. It's sunny but not to the point it would burn your skin. The wind flew softly, the tree give Sunoo a perfect shade so its leafs cover him from the direct sunlight.
Sunoo enjoying the breeze for a few minutes there, until someone suddenly spoke to him...

"Hey, do you mind if i sit beside you?"

~

Startled. Sunoo abruptly open his eyes due to the voice that he heard and look up at the boy that stand in front of him at the moment.

So handsome... his feature seems so strong, his eyes so sharp. His lips remind me of a duck's ones.

He suddenly realized that he's staring, but somehow the other boy didn't say anything about it and keep quiet. Turns out that boy is staring at Sunoo as well, but on the contrary, it seems like he's not particularly analyzing his features just like Sunoo did. It's more like, he's in awestruck since he saw Sunoo opened his eyes and their eyes met.

"Uhm... i-i'm sorry, i'll just leave", Sunoo said in hurry while grabbing his stuffs as well. Then he realized that he's not covering his face nor his body in front of this boy. Sunoo low-key relieved that the uniform is long-sleeved ones even though he's still self-conscious with his body.

"No!", said the boy with a little bit of scream and way too hastily.

Sunoo then stop all his movements and waiting for the boy next words.

"I mean-ahem... ahem.... it's uh.. it's okay you don't have to leave just because of me. Let's just, we both sit here, i guess? It's school's bench anyway, whoever could sit on it...", the boy rambling and make Sunoo unconsciously laughs at his antics.

The boy stare at Sunoo again, amazed and somehow feels so giddy seeing the boy laughing so cutely.
Slowly, Sunoo took his things and place it on his lap, signalling the boy to sit on the previously occupied space. The boy immediately sit next to Sunoo, then trying to let the surroundings calm his nerves from earlier.
Both the boys just sat there, letting the calmness and the warmth enveloped them.

After some times passed, the boy finally spoke again, "my name's Riki... Nishimura Riki. May i know yours?", he asks calmly now.
Sunoo realizing that this Riki boy has a really really deep voice, he failed to notice it earlier due to his nervousness.

"Hi riki, the name is Kim Sunoo", even though this Riki is so adorable and charming at the same time, Sunoo couldn't let himself to slipped away, so he keeps minimizing their interaction.

"I'm sorry i startled you earlier, it's just not many people know nor come to this place usually, so most of the times, this place becomes me and my friends spot. Seeing a new face here totally shocked me a little".

Hearing this of course shocking Sunoo to the core and he panicked right away, somehow thinking that he invaded other people place, "o-oh really?! Oh my, i-i'm so sorry for occupying your spot, i won't come here again t-then, i promise. It's j-just out of all the day, today i don't know w-where to go and at last f-find myself coming to this place. I'm r-really sor-"

Riki cuts Sunoo's rambles because he could see how much the boy panicked and if he didn't act right away, he's so sure Sunoo will get a panick attack at this moment, "hey, hey relax... breathe...it's okay really, no need to panic. Oh god i didn't mean it like that, i'm sorry, Sunoo please calm down and let's get you to breathe properly. Just look and focus at me. Follow me, 1, 2, 3, breathe... let's repeat that again..."

Riki scoot a little bit closer, intending to helping Sunoo whose focusing his breathing and eyes on riki's. But riki still keeping space so Sunoo won't feel invaded or uncomfortable until they both could feel that Sunoo's really in a better condition now.

"I'm sorry you have to saw that", Sunoo said with his head hung low after he felt himself calmed down, he tore his eyes away from riki, so ashamed at the moment.

Riki actually missing Sunoo's eyes right away, but he relieved afterall, that Sunoo finally calmed.
"I think it's actually my fault, i'm sorry by saying that. But it really doesn't mean like how i thought you assume anyway! Seriously... I'm just saying that not just people rarely come here, i rarely ever saw you anyway, but not in a bad way! You can always come here! Anytime! It's surely will be my pleasure anyway seeing you again...", riki's trailing his last words and his ears turned red due to the embarassment.

"But i don't want to be a disturbance, riki".

"Nonsense. Like i said, this is a school's property and i'm more than happy to see you again, not just here but in other places as well".

"But you don't know me...?"

"You're Kim Sunoo. You've introduced yourself, don't you remember? Do you have a short-term memory?", Riki answered playfully.

"Hey it's not like that!", Sunoo whined and look at riki, knowing that he's just being playful with him.

"Finally i see you looking at me again. You've been hanging your head down for awhile there. I like this view better", riki said while showing his boxy smile.

Ba-dump.
Huh? Why my heart beats like this?
