Look Beside You (Completed)

Chapter 3

Just when Copter thought that his rival would be an innocent type of girl, Kimmon suddenly says that it’s him who Tee likes. A guy who seems to be perfect in everything. All the confidence that Copter had a while ago disappeared and all that’s left in him was regret.

Copter thought that maybe it would’ve been better if he hadn’t known who his rival was. Copter doesn’t even think that he’s a worthy opponent. It’s Kimmon for pete’s sake. The dreamboat that doesn’t seem to age.

“What’s the matter?” Despair was all over Copter’s face and Bas couldn’t help but ask what was running on his brother’s mind.

The two of them were currently watching television in their living room, eating the burger that Tae had brought for them. Yet Copter had not taken a single bite from his burger which was very unusual for someone who gets hungry every hour.

“Nothing…” Copter replied listlessly.

“Are you not gonna eat that?” Bas asked.

“Do you want it? Here you go.”

Bas’ eyes grew wider. This was the first time that Copter gave out his food. Something was clearly going on.

“Okay. Spill the beans brother. Is it a financial problem or a love problem?” Bas asked as he moved closer to his brother, wishing for Copter’s answer to be the latter. Because if it was a financial problem, Bas had no way to help his brother out.

Copter hesitated to answer his brother. Bas had zero experiences when it came to love so asking him for love advice would be pointless. But he’ll give it a shot anyway.

“Uhmmm… This is actually about my friend….” Copter started.

“Sure, your friend.” Bas replied but Copter was not fooling anyone. Bas knew that his brother had no friends because of his temper. “So what about him?”

“He likes someone…. But then his crush likes someone else. Someone who’s very handsome. Someone who has a killer smile. Someone who looks better than the models in the magazines. Even if he’s just wiping the tables, he looks like he’s doing a photoshoot.”

“So you like the crush of your crush?” Confused Bas asked.

“What? No way! I’m just saying that my rival is super duper ultra mega handsome!” Copter shouted in reply to his brother’s ridiculous question. “I meant my friend! Not me! My friend’s rival is so handsome.”

The side of Bas’ lips were shaking as he was internally laughing at his flustered brother. “Okay, so your point is that your friend has no chance of winning over his crush? I mean, if your rival’s that great, what’s the point of fighting back? In the end you’ll just watch the two of them end up with each other.”

Crap. Bas thought as he saw his brother’s wounded expression.

“You… Must you really hurt my feelings like that?” Copter cried and ran to his room, leaving Bas with the feeling of guilt and his untouched burger.

The next day, classes were cancelled because all of the professors went to a seminar and Copter didn’t want to just cry in his room. He had to do something. And that something was apparently following his rival around. His goal for the day was to find out Kimmon’s weaknesses.

Kimmon was currently buying ingredients at the market and Copter is pissed at how Kimmon could still look good by just wearing a lose shirt and trousers. While Kimmon looked like a supermodel, Copter was like a kidnapper. Wearing black cap, black jacket and black pants despite the scorching weather, Copter looked suspicious in many ways.

Kimmon was meticulously buying fresh ingredients and this made Copter wonder what on earth his brother does. Does Kimmon do all the work while his brother just laze in their house? While Tae wakes up at nine in the morning, Kimmon is already walking around the market. This made Copter facepalm at how happy-go-lucky his brother is.

“Isn’t it hot?”

Copter jumped and turned around to see where the voice came from and it was none other than his rival. Copter was too busy thinking of his lazy brother that he hadn’t noticed Kimmon was already behind him.

“How’d you know I was following you?” Copter asked and stared at Kimmon with wide eyes and raised eyebrows.

Kimmon narrowed his eyes at Copter whose face was not only filled with shock but with sweat as well. “You were following me?”

Copter placed his hands over his mouth as he realized how much of an idiot he was.

Kimmon smirked and moved his face closer to Cop’s. “Oh so now you like me?”

A flush crept up Copter’s face.

“Over my dead body!” Copter yelled at the top of his lungs, his veins almost popping out.

Kimmon laughed uncontrollably as Copter fanned himself with his hands.

“Have you had your breakfast?” Kimmon asked but Copter was too frustrated to answer and continued to fan himself. “Let’s head to the diner, little guy. I’ll make you a very cold juice to cool you down.”

***

Kimmon chuckled to himself as he watched Copter gulp down the juice that he made, as if he was stuck in a deserted place for days.

As soon as Copter finished drinking, he glared at a smiling Kimmon. Copter wanted to rant at how Kimmon’s smile pissed him but he decided not to as he was very exhausted from following an eager beaver around.

“I’ll apologize on the behalf of my useless brother. It must be hard doing all the work by yourself while my brother’s ass is still on his bed.” Copter spoke as he took off his jacket.

“What are you talking about? Tae’s not useless at all. He’s the most responsible person I know. Right now he’s very busy since we’re planning on making a second branch. I feel bad for letting him do all the paperwork.” Kimmon replied.

“Seriously? How come I haven’t heard of that?” Copter exclaimed as he jumped from his seat and unintentionally moved his face towards Kim’s.

Kimmon smiled at Copter’s reaction while Copter froze at how gorgeous Kim’s smile was up-close.

“Because it was supposed to be confidential, little guy. So don’t call your brother useless anymore, okay?” Kimmon replied and messed up Copter’s hair. “Anyways, why were you following me? Have you finally decided to stop liking Tee?”

“No way! Tsk. You’re not even his boyfriend.” Copter replied as he returned to his seat and crossed his arms.

Kimmon smiled, but this time it was different. It was a rather weak one and Copter noticed the sadness in Kimmon’s eyes when he said “You’re right. I’m not.”
