Love at First Crunch | SooKai

When Soobin was in a gang, he was known as 'mad dog'

Everybody feared him, as cliche as it sounds.

Soobin had a temper, and as a cause, he didn't take orders from anyone. If you even so much as gave him a tiny bit of attitude he'd have your head banged against the lockers or the nearest wall available. He held his head high, never smiled, and spoke his mind, even though most times he had nothing nice to say.

Soobin would walk around with a glare on his face. His piercings and tattoos intimidating everyone around him. There was an aura of danger around him that scared off most people.

'Soobin? he's the scary looking guy and never speaks right?'

'He has some issues..'

'That kid is no good at all! he's always causing trouble'

'It's better to not get involved with him'

'I heard he's in a gang'

He was looked down upon; backs always turned to him followed by hushed whispers. He was used to people judging him on his looks. He was used to being looked at as if he were a bug. He can still see the faces of disgust of everyone who he came across.

'Monster'

'He's evil'

'Don't get involved with him if you know what's good for you'

All because of his looks.

All because he thinks piercings are cool.

All because he wanted to add art on his body.

...

Soobin opened his eyes slowly. The blinds in his room were drawn open, as was the window. Soobin closed both before he took his nap, but his nap made him forget. His room was warm, really warm. He could hear birds outside loud and clear. The before-mentioned stared at his ceiling before inhaling and exhaling deeply.

I wasn't until moments later that he realized he wasn't alone in his room. Huening Kai was there too. Kai was on his knees next to Soobin's bed. His head laid on his arms that were crossed on top of Soobin's mattress. He was sound asleep.

Soobin scratched his head; confused. What was Kai doing here?

He admired how pretty Kai looks when sleeping. Then he woke his boyfriend up by running his fingers through his hair. The sleeping beauty woke up.

"Are you awake?" Kai asked through a yawn.

"Yes, why are you here?" Soobin asked curiously, his hand moving to caress Kai's cheek; it was something that had become a habit. Soobin doesn't even think about doing it anymore, it just happens.

"My heart missed you" Kai answered as he leaned into Soobin's touch.

...

It turns out that Huening Kai was hungry so he went to Soobin's so they could go eat together.

"Chicken nuggets... apple pie... McChicken... cookies...milk..." Huening mumbled to himself while reading the menu. The two came to McDonald's and were waiting in line. The boy was dressed in bright orange knee-length shorts, a white wife beater, and a yellow headband that pushed his curly hair out of his face. Soobin stood next to his boyfriend in a much less bright outfit. He wore black knee-length shorts, a black jersey, and a black snapback.
