Ocean Eyes

9

A night spared for a walk and converse, probably sharing many things, including personal thoughts that had been locked inside their head. The sky didn't show much stars, just a small sprinkle of it, and the wind was usually cold without skyscrappers and trees surrounding the area blocking the breeze. However, it was a good time to exchange mind, heart to heart, getting to know about each other a little bit deeper and closer.

Huening Kai had his yellow hoodie under his yellow jacket, meanwhile Soobin got his doctor cloak back and decided to use it as a warmer, which didn't function well with the chill but at least he could cover his chest with it.

Not many words were spoken by the two, instead they walked side by side, knowing no direction and aim, leaving many awkward spaces between them. Funnily, they didn't want to leave and enjoy the silence instead, keeping in all questions inside their head.

"Are yo—"

"Hyu—"

Both of them were back to silence.

"You can go first."

"No, hyung go first."

"Okay."

Finally, a decision was made.

Soobin crossed both of his arms on the chest, not just to warm himself up, but also that certain gesture raised his confidence. He felt big standing next to Huening Kai, yes, it referred to the body and his whole sentiment. "Are you... close with that Yeonjun guy?" Soobin asked, nervously.

"Hm?" Huening Kai raised both of his eyebrows. "Yes, I guess I can say that I'm close with him. We used to live in the same neighbourhood and our families are not strangers too."

"I see..." Though it wasn't the answer Soobin expected, at least Soobin knew there was nothing happening between Huening Kai and the guy from that morning. Still, Soobin didn't want to loosen himself. In the future, various unexpected occasion could happen.

"He is like a brother to me."

"Really?"

Wow, an additional information that I don't need at all, Soobin blabbered in his brain. The fake enthusiasm was made to keep the conversation going with Huening Kai.

"Yeah, he is a nice guy." Huening Kai smiled gently, not so blazing, just a simple and warm one.

"Okay." Soobin certainly had no more interest about the guy that he didn't know. What he wanted was Huening Kai's proof that the so-called-guy Choi Yeonjun had no meaning for Huening Kai, at all.

"Wait— I wanted to ask you a question, too." Huening Kai frowned, peeved by himself because he couldn't remember his question, whereas he had prepared that certain question since morning. "Ugh, I forgot!" he stomped on the ground.

"Calm down, we have all night long just to recall your question." Soobin teased and chuckled.

Heuning Kai clicked tongue. "Ish, hyung."

"Oh, anyway," Soobin's expression was suddenly enlightened, "I just realised that you've called me hyung since the first time we met. Like... we've had no formality at all."

"I don't want to have any formality with you." The younger guy was still looked pissed, but he answered anyway. Just by seeing Huening Kai's face, it was clear that Huening Kai was thinking in the middle of conversation. "And you never call me Ningning like the others, you always call me Huening Kai."

"What—? Huening Kai is your name, yeah?"

"Yeah, but people who are close to me call me Ningning." The boy sulked, though it was made up.
