Burn (Part 2 Of Caffeine)

Chapter 23

Sungmins POV

'When I laid my eyes on Sungmin, he was probably the most beautiful human being I've ever seen. I think I had a crush blooming. He probably won't ever know my feelings.

By the next couple weeks, we always walked together to and from the bus. We even sat on the bus together. When I was near him, my heart would beat faster. Could he hear it too? I could hear the beating in my ears. How loud was it?

Even after months, we never talked. We just sat and walked with each other. We even ate with each other at lunch. Sometimes he'd walk me to my class and I'd bow and he would just leave. Like I said, we never talked, verbally. I guess we used body language instead.'

Those were the words from the pages of the books that were left at my cafe. They were all from Kyuhyun. I was surprised that he kept books like this when he was younger. Actually I was surprised about his feelings back then. What changed? Did bullying really change who he was? He was such a romantic sounding kid now that I think about it. I looked over at the other books that laid on my desk. I reached over and grabbed the one that said 'Cho Kyuhyun, age: 15'

I read the page and couldn't help but let a small smile grow on my face. I made his heart flutter back then. At the end of the book, there was a post-it note.

Sungmin,

I know we aren't at the best time right now... but I still love you, you know that. I placed these books in front of your house at exactly 3:47, If that still means something...

He didn't bother putting his name at the bottom. What if I didn't know it was him?
I shook my head and started reading the next book. I guess I should fully know his story.

I know I still want him, but does he still want me? I'm a bitch and he's an ass. I guess we could still work out fine. I mean, we've made it this far so why should I be a bitch and end it now?

I laughed weakly at his books.

He really had feelings for me, he has had them for a long time.

I looked at my phone that was next to the books.

No, I'll just surprise him...

I stood up from my chair and walked towards the exit of my home.
I stood at the door, waiting for him to answer. I heard the handle slowly turn.

"S-Sungmin... You-you're here?" he stammered. I nodded and handed him his books, he just stared at them.
"Wh-what's this for?" He asked as he stared at me wide eyed. I stared at the ground.

"I read them." I said without any emotion. I shoved the books into his stomach and he looked at them. I still didn't make eye contact.

"You can keep them." he whispered. I didn't say a word and we stood there in silence.
"Why aren't you looking at me?" He finally said.

"Because I'm scared..." I whispered.

"There's nothing to be scared of." he replied. I felt my eyes randomly start to water.

"Yes there is. I'm scared you were serious about leaving." I whispered back. I closed my eyes tightly, trying to not let tears falls. I felt his hand grab mine and he pulled me into his house.

"Why won't you look at me?" He pouted. I continued staring at the floor. He got closer to me, I could feel the heat from his body.
I remained silent and he stepped closer.
"Please?" he said pouted more. He pulled me into his arms and I didn't struggle to get away. My anger disappeared. He squeezed me tight.

"What are we going to do?" I finally said as I looked up at him with tear filled eyes. Hs pushed me back a bit and looked at me, I was still in his grasp. His eyes were starting to water as his eyes took ahold of mine.

"Do about what?" he asked with a cracked voice.

"Us. What do we do?" Our eyes were locked onto each other. It felt like we said more just words.

"We get back together? We fall back in love? We be happy together?" He asked, I could tell he was holding back his tears.

"How do we fall back in love if I never stopped loving you?" I whispered as I let more tears fall. Kyuhyun wiped my tears with his thumb and let his hand stay on my face. He wiped my cheek and I turned my head to kiss his thumb, I moved his hand away and he stared at me sadly.

"I'm sorry that I'm a douche. I'm sorry that I'm an ass." He whispered to me as he pulled me back into a long hug.
"I'm sorry I'm me. I want to change. I want you to be happy with me again like how we use to. I'm nothing without you..." he held me tighter.
"Tell me what to do and I'll do it if it means I can have you back." This time he let his tears fall down his face.

"Why don't you tell me?" I responded back. He stayed silent for a bit.

"I love you. I'll change. We've made it so far. I'll be like how I was when I first fell for you." he said. I clutched his shoulders hard and cried harder. It made me so emotional just hearing that.

Am I really such a bitch that I couldn't accept him fast enough?

I broke the hug and looked up at him and he let his hand caress my face. He slowly moved closer to my face. I closed my eyes and felt his lips on mine. I moved forward so we were closer. He grabbed my head and kissed me harder.

"I'll change, I promise. I'll be a better dad and a better lover." he said as he broke the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him back into the kiss.

I hope you can keep this promise. Just don't stop loving me.
