Love at First Crunch | SooKai

"Did you see that they sent slime into space?" Taehyun asked Soobin. He was reading an article on his phone as he sat on the register, while Soobin swept around in front. 

"They should send se-"

"Oh my god, you're disgusting and immature, please shut up" Taehyun snapped while glaring. Soobin rolled his eyes.

"Have you never thought of it?" 

"No Soobin, I haven't thought about sending semen into space" 

"male Jellyfish release semen out of their mouth, and the females do the same with the eggs, and the two floats in the water until they meet and combine. What if we send semen out there and the same happens with aliens and we have hybrid alien humans in space" 

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear any of that" 

"Oh my god Taehyun, you seriously need to get laid" 

"SHUT UP"

Meanwhile, Huening Kai sat at his seat. The clock ticked loudly as Huening impatiently bounced his knee up and down. In less than a minute, finals weeks, and the first semester would be over, and winter break would begin. 

The second the ending bell chimed, Huening shot up from his seat and ran out of the classroom. He didn't meet up with Yeonjun and Beomgyu as he usually did, instead, he ran to the convenience store across the flower shop. Huening didn't stop until he reached the doors, and even then his actions were rushed and sped up. He saw Soobins back and Huening jumped. 

Soobin was more than shocked when someone suddenly leaped onto his back. If it was just anybody then Soobin would have easily grabbed the body off him and shoved the culprit against the wall and bash their face in.

"ITS WINTER BREAK BINNIE!" 

But the person wasn't just anybody. It was Huening Kai. 

Taehyun watched with amazement as the small schoolboy rode on Soobins back like he was a horse. Huening Kai grabbed both of Soobins ears with his hands and was yanking them towards the direction he wanted Soobin to go towards. Although Soobin looked uncomfortable, he didn't fight back or complain. Taehyun can't believe the Soobin he was looking at was the same boy who used beat people half to death. 

...

"How were exams?" Soobin asked Huening. The two were sitting behind the register. Taehyun was mopping the store and played music softly over the stereo. Soobin made sure that Huening didn't look at the items inside the bag he got up to get.

"I think I did okay, but I'm nervous"

"Why?" 

"If I get bad marks then I'm going to feel like such an idiot! They're going to send my results through email once they grade them, and I'm so nervous to see the results" Huening fidgeted with his nails. He was anxiously waiting for his phone with buzz with the notification of his exam results. 

"I'm pretty sure you'll do good. After all, you did good on the practice tests!" Just then, Huening's phone vibrated. His test results were in. 

"I don't want to see it"  The schoolboy turned his phone face down before he pulled his knees up to his chest and hid behind his arms. 

"If you did good, we'll eat ice cream," Soobin said.

"And if I did bad?" The pierced boy smiled widely before holding up the plastic bag full of Huening's favorite store-bought ice cream cones. 

"We'll still eat ice cream" 

Huening didn't do badly at all on his scores.

And he got to eat ice cream with a cute boy.

...

"Oh yeah-" Huening suddenly remembered while Soobin was walking the younger home "-Beomgyu, Yeonjun and I are going to visit my brother for three days, starting tomorrow" 

"Oh... okay. Where are you visiting him" Soobin felt his mood drop. He was used to seeing Huening Kai everyday now. Now he would have to go three days without him. He didn't like that at all.

After a few seconds of thinking, Huening answered Soobins question. "I think Dubai I dunno"

"Oh." Soobin pressed his lips together tightly. 

"Hey, why do you look so grumpy? It's not like im not coming back" 

"Yeah.."

"Soobin"

"Hm?"

"My hand is cold"

"Oh..."

"So hold it and make it warm!" Huening laced his fingers around Soobin. The two blushed and looked away from each other. Their hearts both beating crazy. 

"A-Are you warm now?" Soobin asked Huening.

"Yeah... really warm" a smile ghosted the youngers lips. 

...

"What time do you leave today?" Soobin asked Huening who was leaning over the register counter while he ran his fingers softly across the glass surface.

"Mmm, I don't know. Beomgyu hasn't called me yet"  

"Oh, I see" Soobin was leaning against the counter right next to Kai. The older was looking down at his phone playing a racing game on his phone. Huening eyed Soobins big and baggy black hoodie. He hardly sees Soobin in color. Usually, it's grey, black, or white. 

"Is black your favorite color?" Huening couldn't believe that he didn't know Soobins favorite color despite all the time they've spent together the past couple of weeks. 

"No, it's not" Soobin put the game on pause once Huening began talking. He was giving the younger boy his full attention now.

"What's your favorite color then?"

"Sunset orange" HueningKai smiled. Sunset orange thats was a new one.

"Is your favorite color yellow?" Soobin asked as he eyed the bright yellow headband Huening was wearing. 

"No, it's green" That surprised Soobin a little bit.

"Green? Why?"

"Because it's the color of life... and money" Huening giggled. Soobin thinks that sound sounds like his favorite song. 

"HUENING KAI WHAT'S THE POINT IN HAVING A PHONE IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ANSWER IT!" Yeonjun and Beomgyu storm into the store. The two looked out of breath and tired.

"Oops.." Huening Kai knew Beomgyu was messaging him but he didn't want to look at the messages..

"I gotta go, bye Soobin" Huening Kai leaves the store with his two best friends. The three argued their whole way out.

"I thought you would call me"

"NOBODY CALLS ITS 2019"

"Beomgyu lets keep our-"

"YOU STAY QUIET YOU COWARD!"

The doors shut, and the stores become silent. The buzzing of the vending machines and the quiet ticking of the clock is all you could hear. It's quieter when Huening is gone. The younger boy is always laughing or asking a question to start new conversations. Soobin even noticed that he misses the sound of Huening breathing. Since when did he become a soft lover boy? All he wanted was to not be a gangster anymore- and now he's all soft and weak for a boy who barely reached his chin. 

Soobin hates how the world feels lonely when Huening leaves the room.
