My Only Boo Is You

There Is No One Like You

"Seungkwaniiiie!" Hansol called as he ran to his best friend. "I made it to the team!"

Seungkwan gasped as a body slammed into his back and a pair of arms encircled his waist. Warm breath tickled his neck as Hansol tried to catch his breath, they stayed like that for awhile, his best friend trying to regulate his heartbeat. They've been best friends since kindergarten and grew closer over the years, close enough to show such intimacy in public. Hansol turned him around, clutched both of his shoulders and said in delight,"I made it! I made it to the basketball team!"

"REALLY? OH MY GOD!" Seungkwan shouted back while jumping up and down.

"You're not supposed to say 'Oh My God!'" said Hansol as he ruffled his best friend's hair.

"Whatever," he said in annoyance. "WAIT I HAVE GOOD NEWS TOO! i MADE IT TO THE GLEE CLUB! I AM A SOLOIST." Seungkwan exclaimed.

"OH  MY GOD! I knew it! You have such a wonderful voice," Hansol pinched both of Seungkwan's cheeks.

"Yer net s'ppose to sey er mey geeerd" Seungkwan said while his cheeks were being pinched.

"It's your fault, you always say it. Come on let's have a One Piece marathon to celebrate!" 

"Not agaaaainnnnnn," Seingkwan whined but he walked nonetheless, trapped in Hansol's arms.

---------------------------------------

It was the most awkward 30 minutes of Seungkwan's entire life. He sat at the 'cool kids' table staring at a total stranger. When Seungcheol pulled him to the table he was expecting Hansol to run up to him and hug him tight but all he got was a "Yo! Seungkwan! Wassup? It's been so long," It seems that he was indeed his long lost best friend but not quite. A lot has changed since they got separated when Hansol's family moved to Seoul back in 8th grade. They were able to talk through Skype for some time but it grew less frequent until there was no communication at all.

"Are you going to eat that?" Mingyu said even if he already has his finger on Seungkwan's french fries.

"No. Go ahead and eat it," Seungkwan replied. He learnt a lot about these 'cool kids' for the past 30 minutes. First, they were all nerds. Mingyu loves to cook and eat and has a dirty habit of wiping hands just about anywhere or anyone. Wonwoo looks cold but he actually snorts when he laughs and he laughs easily especially if it was Mingyu who dropped the joke. Seungcheol was telling the truth. He's no longer a bully and he's actually the President of the Glee Club, in which Chan was trying to get into and Seungkwan was invited. 

And then there was Hansol with his rough teenage voice and golden hair parted in the middle. The last image he had of his best friend was a Hansol with braces on his teeth and thick round glasses on his eyes. He did remember Hansol telling him, one Skype session ago, that he had Lasik treatment before because he can't play basketball well with his glasses on but Seungkwan never expected his best friend to look so good. He looked so good that Seungkwan suddenly felt the urge to punch him in the face. For unknown reasons, he found the new Hansol intimidating and arrogant. Maybe it's the way he licks his lips when he talks, maybe it's the way he looks at Seungkwan like he was a prey ready to be devoured by a predator.

"Are you going to eat that?" Seungkwan was going just about to hand over the fries over to MIngyu when he realised that it was Hansol who was seated beside him. He smiled a dazzling smile as he reached for the fries but Seungkwan suddenly grabbed the paper tray and stuffed everything in his mouth, "Yessh...Shee?? Eym eeteeng them," he said with a mouthful of fries.

Hansol laughed, and Seungkwan realised that some things didn't change. It was still the same laughter that he was so used to before. "Aww you don't want to share your food with me anymore?" he teased. Seungkwan tried to swallow everything at once and choked on the process. Hansol immediately grabbed a water bottle and offered it to Seungkwan, but the latter dismissed it with a wave that was too strong, it knocked the bottle and the water spilt on Hansol's uniform. It was a chaotic scene. Seungkwan was so embarassed he ran away from it.
