Act of Benevolence

12

Hobak woke up with an empty bed.
She didn't forget about his presence.

Hobak got up and sighed to herself,
"Probably the weirdest thing to happen while making a wish."

A smell of beautiful pancakes reached her nostrils, and she followed it to the kitchen.

"Dad? You never make pancakes!" She exclaimed, but the figure turned to reveal the one and only:

Lee Taeyong.

"Good morning! Rise and shine!" He laughs and Hobak screams her head off.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Her dad came rushing to the kitchen,
"What's wrong sweetie?!"

"Who's the guest?" Hobak asks cautiously to her father.

"I mean, he came through the doors—"

"WHAT?" and with that, she fainted.

Just kidding, she fell and hit her head on the table.

"OuCH. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE." She yells.

"Are you okay? Hobakkie, this isn't a great day for you." Her father worries.

"I'm gonna head to school now father." Taeyong bows.

"Hey! That's my dad! Not yours!" Hobak stubbornly says.

"Will you SHUSH!" Her dad smacks his lips while rolling his eyes.

"Our nice neighbor came to make breakfast, and you're acting strange." Her father says with a look of disgrace.

"Oi, what is he? An angel?" She sarcastically says.

"Go to school." Her father says monotonously.

-

"So, were you in my house ever since last night?!" Hobak skips to Taeyong.

"Oi," he starts with a mischievous smile,

"Stop it, I don't wanna hear it, because you stole my word." she walks pass him.

"Oi! Hobak! I left! Did you not see the ladder magically disappear from your room?" He says acting like a douche.

"Oi. I'm tired of you." she turns with a face.

"Of me? Did you know you snore louder than snorlax?!" Taeyong complains.

"Snorlax?! What are you talking about?! You were so ugly, your hair made 3 bodies like diglett!"

"You wouldn't stop hugging me, as if I was your boyfriend!" He holds himself dramatically.

"I wasn't hugging you! I was choking you!"

They laugh at each other's comebacks but Taeyong widens his eyes running quickly to Hobak.

As if they were in slow motion, he grabbed her body quickly, from the fast cars.

"Hobak!" He yells at her face, and she was still standing in shock.

"Why are you walking backwards in front of a stoplight? Be careful!" He continues yelling.

"Okay! Just let go of me!" She yells back.

Taeyong gulped and looked at her seriously, and his hand slowly dropped from her sides.

"Sorry, but you could've died. That's what my dream was telling me." He plainly says and left her behind.

Hobak kept standing there, in that place.

Did that just happen?

Jaehyun happily walked in the hallways smiling ear to ear.

"You're strangely happy." Taeyong observes.

"I am." Jaehyun admits and only giggles walking away.

"That dude.." Taeyong follows the dazed boy.

"Oi, are you gonna tell me why?" Taeyong's voice reaches the craziest point of curiosity.

"Whoa, for a second, you almost sound like her." Jaehyun says dreamily.

"Ew, what? I'm a dude, man." Taeyong says all offended with his little, male pride.

Inhaling deeply due to the love sickness, Jaehyun spins smelling the aroma, and he furrowed his eyebrows at Taeyong.

"Strangely.. you smell like her." But he shrugs with a smile.

"Okay, little kid, if you don't tell me, I will burst your happy bubble." Taeyong teases now.

"Well, I go on a little date with my crush today." Jaehyun smiles cheekily.

"What! You're finally making moves! Jaehyunnie is growing up!" Taeyong wipes his fake tear.

"Yeah, she's definitely into me." Jaehyun walks all cool about himself.

"Oh really? Who is this girl that makes Jaehyun act so weird?" Taeyong does that laugh.

"If I tell you, promise not to tell, okay hyung?"
Jaehyun turns seriously and reveals his pinky.

"No promises! Tell me!" Taeyong pushes the hands and reaches for Jaehyun.

"Yah! For real! I'm about to let you know!" Jaehyun laughs back.

"Okay, she better be pretty." Taeyong stands up and crosses his arm as if it's a serious matter.

"Well," Jaehyun fiddled around and they walking closer to his first class.

"she's pretty, and that's her." Jaehyun stops at the door frame, leaning on it.

"Move over, big head!" Taeyong jokes.

When Taeyong took a look at Jaehyun's "perspective" he blinked far too much.

"Is it who I think it is?" Taeyong says quietly.

"Who? Can you tell?" Jaehyun mumbles like a child.

"I don't know.." Taeyong just whispers.

Taeyong felt his fingers tighten, and his fists were built.

"Is it perhaps," Taeyong turns to Jaehyun.

"Hobak?"
They said at the same exact time.
