Yeonderella (TXT YeonBin story)

22 - Soobin

A/N: I'm going to miss this book so damn much :((( This is the final part of Yeonderella, only two epilogue chapters left for next week!

.

'Mr Choi, if my informations are right your last class ended at least 40 minutes ago, why are you still here?' asked a voice as Soobin wandered the school hallways, going towards the washroom to make himself presentable so his father won't see that he was crying. He turned around to face the teacher who called out for him.

'H-Hi Mr Jeon... I just came back to use the washroom' he answered, waiting whether the teacher has anything else to say to him. Mr Jeon looked at his tear-stained face, but it really wasn't the teacher's business why he was crying. Instead he asked another question.

'Anyways, I was wondering if you know why Choi Yeonjun skipped the class today?' he said. Soobin shrugged.

'I have no idea.' He also had no idea why the teacher is asking him. Yeonjun was only made to sit next to him that week. He barely knew the boy.

'It's okay, I just thought you might know since you are close. If you see him tell him not to start skipping classes now as exams are coming up' added Mr Jeon. Soobin furrowed his eyebrows.

'What? We are not close. I barely know him.'

'Oh, I'm sorry, I might have misunderstood' said Mr Jeon awkwardly. 'It's just, you two seemed to have a strong bond on the masquerade on Friday, so I thought you know each other-'

Soobin's mind short circuited hearing that. Wait, what is the teacher talking about...?! Choi Yeonjun... he was the one from the party??

'Uh... we just... met back then' he stuttered out. Mr Jeon hummed.

'He is a nice boy, and smart. He might be a better influence on you than Mr Lee Felix' he said, then once again looked at Soobin's eyes that were red from crying. 'Do you want to talk about it?' he asked. Soobin understood immediately and wiped his eyes.

'No, not really- I have something... important to do now, but thanks for everything, Mr Jeon' he said. The teacher just nodded, dismissing the conversation and Soobin rushed inside the washroom, standing with his back against the door with a rapidly beating heart.

So Choi Yeonjun, hm? But how is he going to find him now? Does he really have to wait until Monday for them to share a class to talk to him?

He tried to imagine Yeonjun's face, then his mystery man's with the mask. He wondered how come a teacher recognized him but not him, but then again, he didn't know Choi Yeonjun before, meanwhile, from the way he was talking about him, he was probably one of Mr Jeon's favorite students. Of course a teacher recognizes his students easier.

Soobin sighed and went to the sink to wash his face and eyes, then looked into the mirror with determination. He is going to find his Cinderella. His sadness went away a bit, and he grabbed his bag and walked out of the washroom towards the school gate in a much better mood. He exited the school and began walking home.

'Soobin!! SOOBIN!!'

He groaned, not feeling like talking to Wooyoung and San right now and quickened his footsteps.

'SOOBIN HYUNG, STOP, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!'

He recognized Taehyun's voice and sighed, stopping and turning around.

'Tae, I really don't feel like-' His voice faltered when he saw Taehyun and Kai along with another boy he assumed was Kai's new boyfriend, the three of them nudging forward a fourth boy. Soobin's mouth went dry when he recognized who it was.

It was Choi Yeonjun. His classmate from Mr Jeon's class.

And most importantly, his Cinderella.

The two of them stared at each other speechless for a few seconds, then Yeonjun averted his gaze and spoke up, surprising even himself with initiating the conversation.

'I- Uh- I know this is sudden and awkward and everything... I didn't plan it like this and I'm sorry but-' he began stuttering, feeling small with everyone's eyes on him. Soobin felt a big fond smile appear on his face and he stepped closer.

'It's you!!' he exclaimed. Yeonjun finally dared to look at him, and seeing the younger's excitement it didn't take him a second to figure out that Soobin knows who he is. His lips curled into a big smile too.

'And it's you' he said quietly. Soobin couldn't hold himself back and ran up to the older like an excited puppy seeing his owner, picking him up and spinning him around, the two of them almost falling on the ground in the process while giggling loudly.

'I thought you stood me up' frowned Soobin once he put the boy down.

'He was sabotaged by his stepbrothers!!' butted in suddenly Kai's boyfriend, Beomgyu, making all heads turn towards him except for Yeonjun who hung his head awkwardly.

'His evil stepbrothers??' asked Taehyun in disbelief. 'Wait, don't tell me that-'

'The Choi brothers are his stepbrothers??!' cried out Kai. Beomgyu just nodded. 'Oh, you poor, poor thing!!' exclaimed Kai wailing and began walking towards Yeonjun with opened arms to hug him. Beomgyu held his boyfriend's wrist and pulled him back.

'Let them have their moment' he said quietly, his other hand taking a hold of Tae's wrist and beginning to pull the two younger boys away, listening to their loud complaints as the two began bombarding him with questions.

'Is that true?' turned Soobin towards Yeonjun. The older nodded ashamed, avoiding looking at Soobin.

'They took my phone and locked me up in the classroom.... I wanted to text you but I couldn't' he sniffled. Soobin frowned and cupped the other boy's face with his hands, turning his head towards himself.

'Hey, it's all okay now. You're good. And I'm not letting anyone hurt you... or t-take you away from me now' he added stuttering, knowing that this was probably the most awful cheesy cliche thing he could've said. Yeonjun looked up at him, the two of them staring into each other's eyes for a few seconds, both waiting for the other to make a move.

Finally Soobin decided to man up and leaned in, just at the same time when Yeonjun probably thought the same, making their noses bump into each other. Both of them let out a small oh and chuckled while holding their noses. Soobin touched Yeonjun's face lovingly and decided to start again.

'Can I?' he asked, to which Yeonjun nodded immediately. Soobin smiled as he finally leaned closer and softly pressed his lips against Yeonjun's, his arms falling on the older's waist while Yeonjun put his arms around his neck.

They finally found each other again.
