Love at First Crunch | SooKai

37

Soobin wishes he could ignore his problems until they went away. 

At first, he believed he could simply avoid Ryujin, after all the odds of seeing her in the city were slim, right?

wrong.

It seemed like everywhere Soobin went, Ryujin was there. If he went to go buy ramen, he would spot Ryujin and her friends in his path; making Soobin take the long route. Oh, and when he's with Kai? you bet he saw Ryujin.

Anywhere the two went, he would see Ryujin. It got to the point that Soobin had stopped going on dates with Huening Kai so that he could avoid her. 

It's been two weeks now, and Kai was bored of always staying in.

"Soobin, let's go watch a movie tonight" Huening Kai suggested. He was sitting next to Soobin on Soobin's bed..

"Ummm... we can watch a movie here" Soobin suggested. This caused Kai to frown.

"I don't want to stay home tonight, I want to go out with you!" Kai whined

"Let's just stay in..."

Kai bit his lip. He felt like he was doing something wrong. Was Soobin ashamed of being seen with Kai? after seeing how hot Yeji and Ryujin looked did Soobin finally realize he could do better.

All these negative thoughts raced through Kai's mind, he couldn't help but cry.

"What's wrong? why are you crying? are you hurt!?" Soobin sat up and faced his entire body towards Kai.

"You...you don't want to be with me anymore" Kai covered his face with his hands.

"YES I DO! I VERY MUCH WANT TO BE WITH YOU!" Soobin felt slightly offended.

"Then..Then why won't you go in public with me? are you embarrassed by me?  is it because you saw Ryujin and-" Soobin groaned and threw his head back at the sound of that girl's name.

He had wanted all this to just go away so he could peacefully live his life with Kai, but it ended up hurting Kai; which was the only thing Soobin didn't want.

"I could never be embarrassed of you! you're like the greatest person ever!"

"Then what's going on! why did things change after I met Ryujin?"

"She's from my past" Soobin explained.

"What's so wrong about your past?"

"Nothing" Soobin answered dryly. Huening Kai let out a groan of frustration.

"That's not an answer"

"There's nothing to talk about"

"Clearly there is!" Kai stood up "You're so mysterious, I feel like I don't know anything about you"

"You know me"

"Clearly I don't! All these people from your past keep showing up and every time they do something changes inside you! what are you hiding? what are you so afraid of me finding out?" Huening Kai waited for an answer.

"It's not a big deal" Soobin spoke without thinking. He knew he messed up when he saw Kai's face morph in disbelief. 

"Fuck, let me rephrase that-" Soobin tried.

"I'm leaving," Kai said while grabbing his shoes.

"What? don't be like that, let me talk" Soobin stood up and followed Kai

"I gave you your chance to speak. Now I want to go home" Kai said while tying his laces.

"Stop being spoiled"
