fourteen. fourteen was the age yugyeom turned today. usually when it's your birthday, all your friends celebrate and have fun, give you gifts and come to your birthday party. not for yugyeom, never for yugyeom. he had never had a birthday party, or friends to invite to one. sure, it made him slightly sad but that's how it had been for most of his life. he didn't complain, he basically had everything he wanted and needed in life. great dance class, good grades, happy family. just no friends to play and be a kid with.
yugyeom sat on the bleachers, his cap covering his face from the sun as he watched all the students run around and play, some sitting down and eating their lunch. yugyeom smiled contently, letting the world go by as he raised the volume to the song playing through his earphones slightly. due to the loudness of the music in the teenagers ears, he didn't see or hear the boy sitting next to him, and also start a conversation. when he felt a tap on his shoulder he looked for the culprit, finding a special thai boy.
"oh hi.." was all he said as he looked over the boys electric blue fringe, definitely a new style for the slightly older boy. kunpimook smiled brightly, wrapping his slim arm around yugyeoms shoulders gently, "hey bud how've you been? good? great! lets go, come with me~" was all the boy said before grabbing ahold of yugyeoms wrist, pulling the male down the steps of the bleacher.
even though yugyeom was genuinely confused, he didn't protest and just let the smaller boy drag him to their destination. it was to one of the many trees along the abandoned fence line of the school. there were group of boys sitting down laughing and making jokes, just being loud teenage boys. as kunpimook greeted the five boys, yugyeom stood back a fair bit with his hands locked together in front of him, a slight pout on his lips. "boys, this is yugyeom and he is gonna be our new friend!"
that was enough to make yugyeom go white but the reaction he got after that, was enough to send him into cardiac arrest. all five boys shouted a greeting or welcoming, waving and smiling at the younger boy. being the shy boy yugyeom was, he bowed slightly to his new "hyungs", greeting them with a soft and sweet hello. kunpimook glanced at the korean male next to him slightly, smiling to himself at how nervous yugyeom seemed to be.
"welcome to the family, gyeom-ah"
