three > stares & glances
[Yoongi's POV]
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yeah. I'm really sorry, Yoongi."
"No worries, noona. Take care of yourself."
I heard her cough from the other line. "Ne. Kamsahamnida, Yoongi-ssi. My Chim Chim should be there soon."
I can't help but chuckle a little at Shinha-noona's son. Chim Chim. What a cute name. "Arasseo. I'll just wait for him here then. Could you please give me his number so I could tell him where I am?"
"Of course. Well, I gotta go now. I hope you'll feel comfortable in our home."
I smiled. "Komahwo, noona. Get well soon."
I placed my phone back in front of me as I sip on my espresso. I looked outside the Starbuck's shop and watched people pass by.
Unfortunately, Shinha-noona wouldn't be able to fetch me here at the airport because she's confined in the hospital. She didn't tell me why but she said that it's nothing bad and that I shouldn't worry. Her son will be the one who'll pick me up here and it'll be just the two of us in their house until noona gets released from the hospital.
I grinned as I remember the name of her son. Chim Chim. Cute. I wonder if he's as cute as his name.
Me, gay? Pfft. I don't know. Bisexual, perhaps, I'm not yet sure. I haven't been in a relationship because everyone thinks of me as a weird creature. I'm quiet, I observe from afar, I have no friends, socially inactive, a heavy sleeper. I wouldn't be surprised if they'll think of me as a freak or something. Not that I care.
A few minutes after, my phone vibrated. It must be that Chim Chim's number from Shinha-noona.
Shinha-noona:
(random phone number hehez) ⬅ Chim Chim's phone number. Sorry if I took long to send this. My doctor won't let me touch my phone while he's busy lecturing me about stuff :P
>6:28 pm KST
Yoongi:
no prob, noona. dont worry, we'll take good care of ur house for ya.
>6:29 pm KST
I went out of my convo with noona and sent Chim Chim a message.
Me:
i'm here at the starbucks shop. -min yoongi
>6:31 pm KST
A few minutes after, he replied.
Chim Chim:
How did you get my number?
>6:34 pm KST
Me:

>6:34 pm KST
Chim Chim:
Oh okay. Come out of the shop now. I'm almost there.
>6:35 pm KST
Me:
k
>6:35 pm KST
I kept my phone back in my pocket and stood up, grabbing my stuff with me. I went out of the shop and sat on the bench not that far from the shop and waited.
After a few minutes, a black pickup truck stopped in front of me and the engine died. I heard a car door open and then close, soon followed by footsteps. I looked up and saw an orange-haired guy around my age walking towards me. He looked around, completely oblivious of me and fished out his phone. Soon after, my phone started ringing. The guy turned to look at me.
"A-Are you Yoongi?" He asked in a soft voice. I sighed and nodded before standing up. I just noticed that we're almost the same height, maybe I'm just a centimeter or two taller than him.
"Well, should we get going then?" I asked. He nodded and helped me put my suitcases at the back of the truck and we drove off.
While we drive through the unfamiliar streets of Busan, I can't help but sneak glances to Chim Chim. He only has one hand on the steering wheel, the other one is placed on his lap. I've been staring at him for long and I don't think he knows what I am doing or he just doesn't mind so I continued staring at him. His hair is dyed light orange and I'm quite surprised that it suits him well even though he's a bit tanned. I suddenly thought of an idea. Maybe I should also get a tan.
I unconsciously looked down at my hands. They're so pale, you would think that they belong to a dead person. The only thing that makes mine different from a deceased person's is that my palms are pinkish, maybe it's because of the weather. The spring season is about to end, but the Busan air gives me the chills that I only get in Seoul during winter. Maybe it's because of the beaches, or because Busan's far from the very busy and polluted Seoul.
I was about to continue staring at the boy when the vehicle stopped moving. I heard Chim Chim remove the keys from the ignition and hopped out of the truck and I followed suit. We grabbed my stuff from the back of the truck and walked towards a house that's not too small and not too big, just the right size for two to four people.
"Sorry if it's not as big as you expected, hyung." Chim Chim said as he opened the front door and walked in. I shook my head even though he can't see me and stepped inside the house.
The house only has one floor, but it's spacious enough so it's not bad. The living room has two couches and a television box and there's still enough room for a coffee table in the middle. The kitchen is a bit bigger than the living room, kinda explains why because the dining table is also in the kitchen. Chim Chim didn't stop walking and just continued down the hall, where I think the bedrooms and bathroom are. There are three doors on each side of the hallway, which means there are six rooms. He stopped walking on the last door at the left side of the hall and opened it.
"I-Is this good enough for you, hyung?" He mumbled as he scratched his nape. I can't help but smile when he called me hyung. I was right. He's as cute as his name.
I looked around the room and found a single bed at the center back, with bedside cabinets on either side of it. There's also a desk not far from the bed, so I think it's okay. I think it's even better than their cheap hotel rooms here in Busan.
I turned to him and smiled. "Don't worry, it's better than I thought, actually."
He suddenly straightened up and smiled a little, obviously relieved by what I said. "Do you need anything else? The pillows and blankets are in the closet."
"What door is the bathroom?"
He looked outside my room and pointed, even though I can't see where he's pointing at. "Second door at the right of the hallway. The first two doors are both my mom's, but they're locked at the moment because she's not home." He said as he played with the zipper of his black jacket. I just nodded before thinking of another thing to ask him.
"So I presume your room's the one next to mine?" I kinda want it to sound like a statement but it came out more as a question but I just let it go. He shook his head and pointed his thumb behind him and looked down.
"T-The one across yours is mine." He said shyly and bit his lip. I internally smiled. He's just too cute. The way he's embarrassed, shy, and all too awkward.
"Oh, great then."
His head snapped up so fast, I thought he's gonna break his neck. "G-Great?" He stuttered, completely taken aback by what I said. I can't help but chuckle to myself. Damn Yoongi, scaring away the poor guy already, huh?
I shook my head. "Aniyo, I didn't mean it that way. Just wanna know where I should go when I need some help from you." I explained.
He sighed and looked away, obviously embarrassed. "A-Arasseo. A-Annyeonghi jumushipsiyo, Yoongi-hyung."
I smiled at him. "Nado. Komahwo, Chim Chim." I said before closing the door.
After that, I decided to wash up a little bit and change out of my warm clothes and slipped on a thin white shirt and basketball shorts before getting my pillows and blankets and jumping on the bed. I sighed and suddenly smiled as I remember Chim Chim's face flushed with red.
Maybe, just maybe, me staying here in Busan would turn out great.
