Only you #hyungwonho

Chapter 4

Hyungwon was awakened by his alarm clock. He stretched out his hand to push the clock off the bedside table, only making the clock to shout louder. He groaned and eventually slipped out of his blanket and off his bed. While still half asleep, Hyungwon dragged his feet into the bathroom to get ready for class. He brushed his teeth and took a quick shower.

Out of the bathroom, he started to rummage through his closet for clothes. Settling with a black skinny and oversized sweater, Hyungwon took his glasses and put it on. One last look in the mirror, he took his backpack and went downstairs for breakfast.

Reaching downstairs, he could smell pancakes. His sister, Hyewon had woken up more early than him.

"Morning." She said, eyes still on the stove, trying to not burn the pancake.

"Morning, sis." Hyungwon said smiling as he settled down at the kitchen counter. Their parent had always been travelling and it was always up to Hyewon to take care of Hyungwon. Even though they are of the same age, Hyewon had always been more mature than him. Hyewon always reminded him of his mother every time he saw her cooking or doing house chores.

Hyewon set the pancakes on the plates and poured a glass of orange juice for each of them. They ate quietly until Hyewon said something to break the silence.

"How was yesterday? At the cafe." She asked. Hyungwon almost choked on his food as he remembered what happened yesterday.

"Nothing much." He said while gulping down the pancakes. They were delicious.

"Don't lie to me. Bora had told me what happened yesterday. So who was he?" Bora was one of the maids at the cafe and also Hyewon's best friend. Hyungwon choked and coughed and Hyewon was laughing at him.

"No one important." He said after being able to calm down and breathe normally again.

"Whatever you said, little brother." And she laughed again. Making Hyungwon rolled his eyes.

They went to school together and walked their own ways to each other's classes. Hyungwon reached early to his class today. Maybe too early. There was no one in the class. He sighed. He walked up to the last bench and sat down. He folded his arm and rested his head against them, soon he fell asleep again.

"Um, Hyungwon?" Someone called. Hyungwon tried to ignore it.

"Hyungwon, wake up." The voice said, softly tugging on his sleeves. Hyungwon gave up and slowly raised his head while rubbing his eyes, blinking them a few times. Wonho was standing near him, leaning too close to be exact and he took a few steps back when he realised Hyungwon was waking up.

"The class got cancelled today. I just knew about it when my friend messaged me." The blonde-haired male said, clearing his throat. Hyungwon noticed he was blushing?

"Thank you." Hyungwon nodded. As he picked up his bag trying to leave the classroom, he heard Wonho again.

"Do you wanna grab breakfast with me?" Wonho asked. Hyungwon stopped. Trying to process what just happened. Did he just invite me to breakfast?

"Only if you want to. It's ok if you-"

"Ok." Hyungwon said before Wonho could finish his sentence. Then there it was. That smile. Wonho flashed him the brightest smile. Hyungwon swore his heart almost stopped.

"Urm. Let's go then." Wonho said, still grinning. And they both started walking to the cafeteria.

The walk to cafeteria was a quiet one. Wonho tried to stir up a conversation but failed as Hyungwon only gave him short replies. He eventually gave up.

The truth was, the taller male was quite nervous but he covered it well. Hyungwon never thought that he would be walking side by side with Wonho. The Wonho; the one that he had silently watched from a far; the one that he had wished he can be friend with. Maybe more than a friend. But Hyungwon shook away that thought, burying them deep at the back of his mind. Yet here he was, walking quietly beside his probable crush, unable to speak up a proper reply because he almost had a mental breakdown. Good job Hyungwon. Way to ruin things up. He thought angrily to himself.

They reached the cafeteria. Wonho decided to have ramyeon while Hyungwon settled with sandwich for snack as he was still full. They sat down and started eating. Hyungwon took a bite on his egg sandwich as he watched Wonho slurping his bowl of ramyeon. Wonho looked content with his meal.

"Do you wanna taste them?" Wonho asked as he caught Hyungwon staring. Hyungwon quickly shook his head and smiled awkwardly. He was caught staring at the shorter male.

"This is the first time you smiled at me." Wonho said while bringing more noodles into his mouth. He tried to observe Hyungwon's expression. The taller male was blushing.

"And now you're blushing." Wonho chuckled and Hyungwon turned even redder.

"I don't even know you before." Hyungwon said in defence.

"Maybe it's because you never try to know me." Wonho smirked. Hyungwon just sighed.

"Ok then. Let's start over. I'm Hyungwon. Glad to know you."

"Hello Hyungwon. I'm Wonho." He said and winked at the taller male. Hyungwon jaw dropped, he then shook his head in disbelief as Wonho laughed.

"Why? No one ever winked at you before?" Wonho said teasingly while softly elbowing the taller male.

"None that I can think of." Hyungwon was laughing too at this point. They both seemed to be at ease now and the atmosphere felt brighter.

"What class are you having after this?" The taller male asked. He was hoping they would be having the same class too.

"Calculus. You?" Jackpot.

"Same class then." Hyungwon beamed without realising Wonho was watching him. The other male smiled to himself.

They both quickly finished off their last bite and headed to the next class together.
