Whisper (boyxboy) [Im Youngmin x Jung Sewoon]

What Happened?

- Jung Sewoon - 세운 -

I was on my way back to apartment from campus when I saw Youngmin-sshi stood in front of my door, slapped his face out of nowhere and made a small grunt sound. I blinked, I felt the corner of my mouth tugged up a bit after watched him for a while.

"What is he doing?" I said to myself. Seemed like he didn't realize that I was walking toward him now.

I saw him breathed in and out, his shoulders moved in sync with his flow of breathing — moved up and down.

Let me guess.. he was exercising..? Maybe I should joined him later when I don't have anything to do on the weekends. It had been 3 or 2 years ago since the last time I properly exercised, maybe that's why my body felt really stiff nowadays.

When I looked at him from a closer distance, I noticed that he wore a face mask. Did he caught a summer flu?

"Youngmin-sshi?" I said with a careful tone, I didn't want to surprise him but I think I have failed. His body stiffened up and he jumped a little.

I let out an apologetic smile.

"Good evening, do you have some business with me?" I said as I tilted my head a little to one side.

His eyes seemed to avoided my gaze. His eyebrows furrowed together and his body tensed up. Had I done something wrong? Or it was him, so he felt guilty or something similiar to that? For example, did he steal my underwear..?

My underwears were all plain colored, mostly white and grey, no fancy things. So, I think it was not possible for him to steal it. Not worth a red cent, right?

Ah, I shouldn't talked about my underwear, I deeply apologized.

"Yeah, I have something that I want to ask you." I looked at him. His eyes still avoided my eyes and looked at the ground instead as he scratched a green mask on the lower half part of his face.

"Are you sick, Youngmin-sshi?" I tilted my head, so I could see his face better. It was really uncomfortable to wear a mask, especially during hot days like this. Your breath will make your face felt hot and your mouth area will get sweaty and it was not a pleasant feeling you will get, so I usually hung my mask around my wrist instead of wearing it. It must be hard for him.

"Well, I..." he paused a little, "I have a pollen allergy."

Ahh. So he got an allergy?

I scanned his whole body, start from top of his head to the tip of his shoes, and went back to his head again.

Maybe that's why he didn't look at me in the eyes? Did pollen allergy can infect you through an eye contacts?

Ah, I see.

"Ah.. I see." I touched my chin and made a small circular motion with my thumb. It would be bad if he stayed outside if he got an allergy, right? "If that's the case then, do you want to talk inside?"

He finally looked at me in the eyes, surprised.

"No need, I'll be quick," he shook his head.

Was it a serious matter? I felt bad already because he need to wait for me in front of my door, considering to his allergy. But if he insisted, okay then.

"Sure then. What is it?" I said.

He was thinking about something. He furrowed his eyebrows and (I think)  mumbled something on the back of his mask. Or he just hadn't heard my voice?

"Youngmin-sshi?"

He looked at me quickly, too quick to the point I was afraid he would broke his neck.
