As I came back from work, I saw my house filled with boxes from head to toe. "What the hell is this?" I asked myself, "oh that's right, Jung-Woo is going to staying at my house too, but did he have bring this much crap with him?"
I watched as a black figure scrambled around, I turned on the light to find Jung-Woo in the kitchen with the apron on. "Oh Kun, you're here! I was just making dinner, did you eat yet?" He asked me with the cutest smile on his face, 'wait a minute, the cutest smile on his face?' What the hell am I thinking?
"No, I haven't eaten yet." I replied calmly. Even if I did reply calmly, then how come my beating so fast with one glance of his smile. "Once you are done, we need to discuss about what's going to happen from now on." I told him as I tried to calm myself down. 'Why in the world is my heart beating so fast? Don't tell me I've fallen in love with him. No, that's impossible! After all those years we have known each other, I have never once felt like this before; what could be so different from back then?'
"Oh okay, I'm almost done. By the way, I have been searching for the bowls and plates for the longest time, where did you put them?" I heard him asked me; I walked over into the kitchen area and gather some bowls and plates. "Oh, thank you. So that's where you put them."
I felt my heart beat faster and faster as I watched him cook our dinner, 'what could be so different from him since I last saw him? He still looks the same, except his hair has gotten longer.' I walk over to the table and sat down waiting for dinner to be served.
Once dinner was finally over, I began having a conversation with Jung-Woo. "So for the rules, you need to make a payment for each month you are staying at my house." I told him strictly.
"You have to be kidding me! Ga-Woon told me that I didn't need to pay you rent, you can even ask him!" Jung-Woo said to me with anger in his eyes, I felt my heart clenched for a moment.
"Well he was wrong, how much did you pay to live at your old apartment?" I asked him. Jung-Woo just sat there for a moment, "well? Are you going to tell me or not?"
"$150.00" I heard Jung-Woo mumbled. "I still don't why I must pay you rent! I mean, we have known each other for the longest time. Plus my job doesn't even give me enough money to make my full payment." Jung-Woo said to me.
"Then maybe you should get a new job; I'm not made out of money, I can't possibly support the both of us with just my job, you have to put in some money too." I told him.
"This is ridiculous, you make three times the amount I make and you say you don't have enough money to support the both of us. This is bullshit!" Jung-Woo yelled as he got up from the table and headed towards his room and slammed the door.
I felt my heart break for a moment there; I would have never thought it would have turned out this way. I was even shocked when he yelled at me.
The next morning I got up to see Jung-Woo making breakfast, "good morning. You're up early." I told him but all I receive from him was a glare. "What we having for breakfast today?"
"I don't have time to make you breakfast, I only have enough time for me to make mine and eat it, after all I need to start gaining money for this month's rent." Jung-Woo said to me coldly.
I knew I should saw that coming, "you're right." I walked over to the cabinet and grabbed a cereal box. "What do you even work for anyways?" I asked him.
"It's none of your business; I don't ask you all these questions. So why must you ask me questions?" Jung-Woo said to me, I tried to cover the hurt on my face, hoping that he didn't see it.
After my comment, I thought I saw Kun's face filled with hurt. 'Nah, it's must be my imagination' I thought to myself. "Here, once you're done with your breakfast, just leave your plate in the sink. I'll put it in the dishwasher when I go." I heard Kun tell me.
"Sure, whatever." I said to him. I was still mad at Kun for making me pay rent after we known each other for so long. I grabbed my things and headed out. "I'll be going now; I'll be home around 5:30 today." I told him as I left the house.
Once work was over, I immediately came home. As I open the door, I saw Kun's shoes next to the door. "So he must be home." I said to myself, I looked around the house only to find that he wasn't anywhere. "That's weird." Just then I started hearing moaning sounds, it was a girl and a guy, and that guy's voice sounded like Kun! 'Does that mean he's having sex right now? Oh God, please don't tell me this is true.'
I walked closer to his room and decided to take a peek, 'what the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn't be peeking in on Kun while he's having sex. This is just wrong!' As I looked through the little crack, I only saw Kun in bed. 'Where's the girl?' I wondered to myself, just then it all clicked. "Dear lord." I said a bit too loud, I covered my mouth hoping that Kun didn't hear me, but I bet he did. 'I can't believe he's masturbating! This is so unlike him.' I was hoping that I was wrong, but I did see him rubbing his own length.
I started hearing footsteps coming closer and closer, my heart kept beating faster and faster. I turned around to see Kun standing by the door way. "Have you ever heard of privacy?" Kun asked me, for that moment in time, I felt my cheeks flushed.
"Umm, about that whole thing, I'll just pretend I didn't see it, okay?" 'Why am I blushing? And how come I can't get rid of that image in my head?' I pondered. "I'll start making dinner now." I said to him as I started walking towards the kitchen. I heard his door close and the shower beginning to run.
Once dinner was served, I knew there was tension between us and a very awkward silence. I saw Kun get up from his seat, place his bowl in the sink, and headed back to his room. "Is this how it's going to be like from now on?" I asked myself. I still couldn't get Kun's face out of my mind; his whole face expression was filled with pleasure. I never thought I would ever see something like that in my life.
The month was finally over, and the tension was still there. "Kun, here's the month's payment, all $150 is there. I'm going to meet Tae at the café, so yeah. Bye." I left as fast as I could, sure it has been over five weeks but that image of Kun was still imprinted in my mind.
"Over here, Jung-Woo!" I heard my older cousin screaming my name; I walked over to the table and took a seat. "So how has it been? You are living with Kun and all." Tae ask me.
"I guess everything is fine, I mean sure I have to pay the rent which pisses me off, but other than that, it's all good." I told my cousin.
"Stop lying." I heard Ga-Woon tell me, "I ask Kun the same thing, and he told me that there is a bit a tension between you two. He didn't tell me the details, so now I want you to tell me what's going on between the both of you." Ga-Woon told me bluntly.
"You mean, he told you?" I said in surprise. I knew Ga-Woon and Kun are best friends, but did Kun really have to tell Ga-Woon what's been going on? It wasn't even his business!
"So it's true, there are tension between you two." Tae said to me, "Jung-Woo, please tell me what happen? You know we are here for both you and Kun." Tae told me, I knew that Tae is concerned about us but I can't just simply tell them that I saw Kun masturbating, that's just too awkward.
"Tae, would you just quit it? I know you are concerned about us, but how you are speaking. It seems like we are a couple or something!" I told Tae, "Look, just let me take care of this." I stood up and began walking back to the house.
When I came home, I heard those moaning sounds again. "Not again." I told myself, I decided to ignore the moaning noises and walk into my room. On my table, I saw the $150 I gave Kun this morning. "What the hell is this doing here?" At that moment, I forgot about the noises and walk straight into Kun's room again, seeing him rubbing his length and having that face filled with pleasure.
Kun looked up at me, surprised filled his eyes. I quickly look away, "I'm sorry for barging in like that, but I was wondering why you place the $150 on my table, it is the rent." I still couldn't face him, my heart just keep beating faster and faster.
"This is the second time." Kun sighed, "About the money. I was just kidding about the whole monthly payment thing. I never thought you would take that seriously."
"How could I not have taken that seriously? Your face and the way you told me sounded pretty serious." I told him, my eyes just kept staring at the ground. "I'll be leaving now." As I was about to leave his room, Kun quickly push the door shut. I turned around, seeing that I was facing his chest. "What the hell are you doing?"
Kun just ignored my question; he just bent down and gave me a forceful kiss. Never in a million years I would experience that, and by all people! "To tell you the truth, I never masturbated until you came to live here." I looked up at Kun with surprise all over my face. "Also that video," he said pointing at the porn video that was still playing, "that girl never even gave me an erection no matter how many times I watch her."
I felt my face flushed, "why are you telling me all these things?" I tried to look away to hide my face, but it failed. I started to stutter as I spoke. "And what do you mean that you never masturbated until I came?" I asked him.
"You heard me, ever since you started living here. I couldn't get you out of my mind no matter how much I try." Kun told me, "Jung-Woo, I think I'm in love with you." Kun said confessing to me.
I knew my face have completely turned red; this is the first time I have been confessed by a guy. I don't know what to do! "You can't be serious, but you were so mean to me this past month." I said quietly.
"The only reason why I was so mean to you was because I didn't want you to know that I love you, but everything I did something mean to you. I felt my heart clench and I would always regret it." Kun said as he hugged me. "I'm sorry, Jung-Woo, for all those times I was mean to you. I really do love you; do you feel the same about me?" Kun asked me.
I knew it; it was time for me to confess. "All those times you were being mean to me, my heart kept hurting. And the first time I saw you masturbating I couldn't get your facial expression out of my head; it's still imprinted in my mind now." I told him, "I didn't know what was happening to me but when I kept picturing that face of yours, my heart beats faster and fasters. I was so confused; I didn't know what to do! But now everything is so clear." I gazed up to see Kun looking at me with those intense eyes of his, "I realized that I love you too."
From that moment on, we just stood there embracing each other. Well, we didn't only hug; we kissed a couple of times too. I knew that my heart was about to burst, I wonder if Kun feels the same. All I want is to stay like this forever, at this moment in time I was filled with overwhelming happiness.
"Jung-Woo," Kun said whispering into my ear, "how about we do it?" He asked me. I looked up with shock all over my face.
"Do it? You mean like having sex?" Kun just nodded, "but is it even possible for to guys to have sex?" I asked, it might be a stupid question but I was still new to this!
"Of course we can, silly." Kun said as he laughs quietly, I knew he was laughing at my stupidity but I never done anything like this before. "I bet you are wondering where I'm going to put it, right?" I just nodded, "well I'm going to put it right here." He told me as he moved his hand downward to my butt and gently presses in between my butt cheeks. I gave out a small gasp as Kun just smiled.
