What if he doesn't come back? What if Sungjo hyung convinced him?

But, what I am to him to tell him ? Should I just confess already? What if that actually.... stops him from meeting me?

It is 12:30am already and ... he should be here now if he are to come.

"I miss him"

I feel drowsy today... is don't know why my classroom was so cold today.

*beep*beep*beep*

I don't even know how I run to the door "Ahjussi!!"

"Oh.. you are still awake" he says

"Ahjussiii" I can finally whine to him

"What happened? Why is your face red?" He says and touches my cheek "You are burning up"

"Umm.. me?"

"How did it happen?"

"I... I don't know"

"It is not important. Have you eaten anything?"

"Right... I haven't."

"What do you want? I will go buy so that you can take medicine"

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?"

"I can just eat whatever I have in fridge."

"Did you not say you don't like those food?"

"I can... i can just eat."

"Okay." He says and heat up my meal. Things are getting a bit hazy. I think I am really sick. He prepared my food with utensils and everything. He is so caring.

"Ahjussi.. eat something too"

"I don't really have appetite." He says.. he barely eats i think. When we were having ramen, he didn't eat more than 2 bites, popcorn from movies was still untouched, I wonder what is his kind of food.

"Ahjussi.."

"Hmm?"

"Perhaps.... Am i forcing you to hangout with me?"

"........"

"Am I?"

"Whatever Sungjo said, you don't need to listen to him. I never do things out of someone's whines. Kiddo, I am not very kind person as you think I am. I am only doing things that I really like to. My only wish is that I hope you are not confused. Not even a single drop of confusion."

Does Ahjussi... always look at me with those eyes? it is like he is staring right into my soul and seeing everything that I am feeling.

"Do you understand what I am saying, kiddo?"

"Yes. I do"

"Do you have any medicine?"

"I don't know. I can just sleep through it. It is just because I have small headache"

"Are you sure?"

"Yess!! I am strongg! Hehehe"

And yes I definitely said that

Next Morning

"Yes, sorry boss. I don't think I can come today. Kiddo is sick. I have to take him to hospital when he wakes up"

I hear Ahjussi talking on the call.

"Ahjussi..."

"Awake? Let's go to hospital"

"Ahjussi...."

"Hmm?" He says as he touches my cheek and caresses softly.

"Will you.... go to shopping with me?"

"If you want to, I will"

"Will you.. hmm.. go have some drink and dancing with me?"

"If it is with you, I will"

"Then.... Let's go for a trip together too"

"Imm, let's go"

"Is there anything you wanna do with me?"

"I will do anything you want to"

"Why?"

"........."

"Ahjussi.... Why?" How much I wish he would start to feel the same about me.

"I might have to go to my evening work so if you wake up without me here, know that I will be back" he says... more like he avoided the topic.
I see.... He must feel awkward. I must have put him in a tight situation.

"It's okay Ahjussi" i give him a smile "you know I over whine whenever I am with you. I feel bad for boss noona. It's not like she has other staffs at cafe" i say and try to sit up "I should eat something to take medicine"

"Should I heat up your meal?"

"Yes please... and thank you Ahjussi"

"Wait here" he ruffles my hair as he leaves the room. His walls are so hard to break down. I want to confess already but... I just know he is not taking any of my hints .... Haha.... Byun Baekhyun, what a long way to go.

A Few Days Later

"So..... oppa, you have girlfriend???" One of my project group members says (Gurl 1) ... we are all having study session at the cafe and I just needed some dating advice.

"....not girlfriend yet.... I am trying to win over ...." I say... i mean... they don't know I am gay and I don't even know if it is okay to tell them or not. Not that I don't care but, if it's some individual have different opinions on things then it would affect our group project.

"Ohhh... I know you are so popular but she must be a goddess to claim your heart. Did that happen recently?" The second girl asks (Gurl 2)

"Kind of..."

"Of course Oppa, we will tell you everything you want to know" (Gurl 3)

"Yes hyung, I have girlfriend too so I can give some advice as well" the boy from our group says (Boy)

Gurl 1: Somin
Gurl 2: Minyoung
Gurl 3: Chaeyoon
Boy: Yeonguk

"She is kinda... hmm.. how do I put... she is very.. cold person. Her emotions are too neutral...and mot expressive at all. So from time to time... I don't know what she likes and what she doesn't...." I say

"Like in general or is it because she has bad days?" Somin asks

"No... she is just very calm person in general"

"Hmm... if it is a very early stage of pursuing then... dinner, movies, or shopping?" Chaeyoon says

"We meet most days... but she is super busy person so dinner is difficult. We went to movie once. She didn't seem overly enjoy it .... And *sigh* shopping...."

"Why? What happened?" Minyoung asks

"Last Sunday... it was her day off so I took her to shop.... But... she said 'I do appreciate your offer but I am not spending any of your money on useless things like this'.... Kinda something like that....."

"She must have high ego?" Somin says

"Or she is just considerate?" Yeonguk points out

"I know.... That is what conflicted me. My love language is physical touch and gift giving... but.... *sigh* I do initiate physical touch but... at some point....."

"You feel like you are just forcing her?" Chaeyoon says

"Yes" i say and sigh

"May be she is just.. i am sorry to say but, not that into you?" Somin makes a point andddd my heart.... literally goes like... shatter...

"If she is very reserved person then, may be she is just.. shy and needs time" Chaeyoon shrugs.

"Is she really like busy? May be go for like small trips? Or even like evening walk at famous Hangang River like every other couple and have small picnic. Or go for a drive"

I don't drive... and I don't think he does either.. "Hmm... river.... Picnic..... trip..."

"Just make some time and go for dinner and have some drinks. Makes it a romantic atmosphere. I am sure sincerity will win. If she doesn't like flashy and expensive places, there are like niche restaurant which are cozy, I can recommend some places that I went with my girlfriend" Yeonguk says

"Yeah... Yeonguk ah, please share me some good cozy restaurants that don't look very expensive ..."

"Hehe from what you been describing Oppa, the girl you like sounds like someone in Law field. Like lawyer, prosecutor, or judge. She looks strict, egoistic but upright and smart" Somin guesses. Which is all wrong... haha

"Well well... since today is Fridayyy!!! Let's go for some drinkss" Minyoung says

"Yesss let's gooo" somin cheers

"Omgg... young spirits" boss noona says as she overheard us.

"Unnie, come with us." The girls say

"My my, I am too old for that. But please take my lively staff Channie with you guys. You will right? Baekhyun ah?" She asks

And.... Surprisingly, Ahjussi follows us to the bar/club (Not CloudNine 😌) and Yeonguk's girlfriend joined us too. I was surprised when the girls chose this place. This is LGBT/Queer friendly place. I have been here before.

Is Ahjussi comfortable? I bet this is not his thing. Loud music and people dancing... drinking.
But i see him drinking tho.

"Oppa. Do you also have a girlfriend?" Somin asks Ahjussi.

"No. I don't." Ahjussi answers.

"Not even crush?" Minyoung joins the topic

"........no" he hesitates... so he does have a crush? So.... It is Sungjo hyung... i see...

"Baekhyun oppa, don't you want to invite the girl you like here?" Chaeyoon asks .. Aishhh.. why would you bring that up in front of Ahjussi???!! I can't even look at his side.

"Ha...hahha... no.. next time" I answer. But he doesn't question or doesn't even look curious at all.

And Minyoung and Chaeyoon head to the dance floor and start dancing. We all just sit and drink. It is so awkward because.... *sigh* let's just drink alcohol.

Ahjussi is so silent today.. i know he is not talkative person at all but... today.....
and I almost chock on my alcohol when i spot Minyoung and Chaeyoon start kissing.

"Hehe.. bet you didn't know. They two are dating." Somin says . Ah.... That's why they choose this place.

After awhile, Somin follows a guy and the Yeonguk and his girlfriend also go dancing. It was just two of us at the table but, he is not talking to me. At all?!!!!!

A random girl comes and sits beside him and starts talking to him which makes me.... Mad.... So i just walk to the dance floor...
