You Were My Love

Scene 6 - Misunderstanding

Hae Wong knew it was rude, but he couldn't help staring at this boy.

He was both amazed at the strings of fate that got him to meet the one he had actually been wishing to encounter; and at the kid's astounding beauty...

A marvelous hue on the softest cheeks above a beautiful jaw line, bright, well-shaped eyes, shiny, silky hair that seemed smooth as velvet... all calling for attention and care.

His mind also replayed his vision in the street – slender silhouette, cute shoulders, and ... toned butt ... really toned... How he wished he could squee - wait! Focus! Don't screw up!

He regained hold of his thoughts - but lost it again once his eyes were back on the shorter one...

For Hae Wong also liked the way his over-sized sweater at the same time went over his lovely hands at the sleeves, yet showed adorable, kissable collar-bones at the neck – hang on, did he just think "kissable"??!!

He forced himself to shake his attention from the kid and turned to the other young one to ask the host's son the questions he had prepared beforehand, remembering the notes from his well-studied file.

"So, Kim Tae Hyung-ssi, I heard you were into video games?"

"Just call me Tae, please!"

"Alright, Tae, what kind of games are your favourite?"

A leisurely conversation started between the two, enabling Jimin's eyes to quietly, low key watch the gold-haired hyung...

Every time he laid his orbs on the charming one, he started to feel flustered, some kind of heat building up in his chest and spreading to the rest of his body, even rising up to his face.

After some minutes, Tae Hyung suddenly raised from the couch:

"Wait a minute, I'll get my phone and show you!"

Their conversation had moved on to online gaming, which the lively one was addicted to as well. He bowed lightly to the party and strode out.

Jimin was left with the charming prince.

He fought his nervousness and started to speak in a quite low voice :

"I'm sorry ... about earlier..."

Hae Wong was so caught in his looks and voice he first didn't understand what Jimin was alluding to.

"Sorry?"

"I'm sorry about the misunderstanding on your arrival ... Sorry I didn't introduce myself properly ... I put you into an awkward position towards our host..." he shyly apologized, his voice gentle.

Jimin's discomfort increased as he acknowledged his fault but the other kept silent...

Even though the blond one could now get the allusion, all he could focus on was the subdued, gentle tone of the words. His low voice was as soft as the rest of him, velvety, calming...

"I'm really sorry ... for the flowers..." he repeated, his unease growing by the second.

"Oh!... oh no! Don't mention. In fact, I'm glad I got to give them to you, Jimin-ssi," he added in his low, soothing voice that gave Jimin goosebumps.

"Just ... Just Jimin, please..." he asked, smiling a little, getting some relief out of the hyung's words.

Hae Wong smiled back broadly, eyes shamelessly scanning the angel-like boy constantly, and went on.

"Alright Jimin. How did ... how did Tae and you get to know each other?"

"We attend the same arts university..."

"Neat," he commented, voice smooth, eyes stuck on his face. "Do you attend the same classes? What do you guys major in?"

"Well, since we are the same age, we hang out together a lot, but we usually don't attend the same classes. You see, Tae majors in arts history and painting, whereas I ...," he paused.

"You?" he gazed intently.

".. I ... I major in dancing," he replied in a hushed voice.

"Really?" He lifted an eyebrow as images of the slender boy gracefully whirling around in a tight outfit were summoned in Hae Wong's mind... He smiled to himself. What a pleasant daydream... "From the way you move around, I'd say you must be really gifted."

Jimin blushed deeply, lowering his eyes.

"Thanks..."

As Tae was reaching back nearer, his attention was drawn to the scene on the sofas...

Seeing the other males relaxing in the voluptuous leather couches, he was wondering why the usually overconfident and masterful Hae Wong was keeping so quiet.

Paying closer attention, he realized the older's eyes were thoughtfully fixed on something... Following the stare, Tae Hyung's gaze landed on ... Jimin... and the way Hae Wong was greedily looking at his lovely friend sent shivers down Tae's spine...

Wait! Was his imagination playing a trick on him or did he just see the magnate's son eyefuck his Jiminie?

This business meal was decidedly wayyy more interesting than anything he would have hoped for...

Coming up to the pair, he clearly felt he popped the intimate bubble that had built round them when he added:

"He doesn't just major in different kinds of dancing..."

"Doesn't he?" his expression opening up while expecting the rest of the sentence.

"No, Tae, don't!" Jimin protested.

"... he also majors in career and arts business management."

Jimin lowered his eyes to the Persian carpet, shying away : "That's too long a name to mention..."

The charming blonde resumed his intense gaze at Jimin and added, showing an interested frown :

"Cute as an angel and clever as well... Lucky me that I got to meet such a wonderful person today."

As Jimin blushed an even redder hue, Tae mischievously smirked at what he was witnessing...

He couldn't have imagined how right his intuitions were unless he had known what Hae Wong was thinking at that very moment, his mind processing fast...
