chapter 3: mine

chapter 3: mine

Aug 12, 2020

Rune found out that Kwan came to this club because it had the least members. He didn't know a thing about sports let alone tennis. It was Kwan, Rune, and a senior, Han jisoo in the club. Yeah, only three members.

surprisingly, the people in this particular school were not interested in tennis. Anyway, Rune couldn’t speak proper Korean, he was lucky to have Kwan at that moment. They introduced themselves and started playing.

"Okay so everyone is here let's start our practice," jisoo said.

The sight of Kwan trying to hold the racket cracked them up. He was struggling to hit the ball and always managed to drop it.

“Look how he is trying to hold the racket”, jisoo said.

Rune went to help him. He held Kwan’s arms with his.

“Hold the racket like this”, he indicated.

Rune was so focused on teaching him that he didn't realize how close he was to Kwan. Kwan could feel his breath on his back. Kwan’s heart was pounding against his chest. Thump, thump, thump.

Kwan dropped the racket and turned around to face Rune and before he knew it his body started moving on its own. Kwan pecked Rune on his lips. When he came back to his senses, he was so embarrassed that he left his grasp on Rune and ran out of the club room. Rune was shaken. He wasn't sure how he was supposed to react to this situation.

“where is Kwan?” Jisoo asked entering the court with a bag of drinks in his hand.

“Senior, I’ll start practice tomorrow, I have to leave now. I'm sorry" he said and he rushed out of the room.

Rune was not sure if he liked Kwan as a man. Kwan ran back to his dorm and just laid on his bed pondering about the same thing. Rune figured Kwan would be in his room and decided to check there.

He remembered the week before, during class when Kwan was explaining expressions in Korean.

“Hengbok in happiness, Silpeun is sadness, miwo is hate and sarang is love”, Kwan looked happy explaining, he thought.

Later that day, they went back to class and the professor said that they had to prepare for a competition against other schools in the city.

Rune got the perfect opportunity to call him.

“Hey Lee Kwan, we have to prepare for the performance right? Open the door” Rune said in his best possible Korean.

Luckily that day he brought his guitar to tennis practice. Kwan remembered when he thought him those words during class when the professor told them about the competition and smiled thinking about how cute Rune sounded when speaking Korean to him.

Kwan opened the door and said in an apologetic tone, “Look I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over. Just forget about it”, Kwan was not ready to face him yet.

“It's okay, its been months already since we met, Don’t you know me?” Rune knew he can't get over it instantly but at the same time, Kwan was way too precious for him to lose at this point.

He went in behind Kwan and both of them sat on the bed.

“Okay, so what songs are we going to play?” Kwan asked bringing his guitar.

Suddenly Rune thought of the moment during the practice. His brown eyes looking right into his eyes. It was beautiful. At the time all he could think of was Kwan. Lee Kwan why are you making me lose my shit! Wait, do I like him!? Rune realized something. 

Why did he want to feel Kwan's warmth and why did he look forward to meeting him? His line of thoughts was broken by Kwan strumming his guitar. Amongst all his thoughts he was tuning his guitar beside him. He began playing his songs to Rune. Rune was mesmerized by his beauty throughout the songs.

After Kwan finished his part, Rune, shrugging off the thoughts began playing. He looks so good while singing. How can someone have such a nice voice? Kwan thought. He was trapped in Rune’s music. He could watch Rune sing all day long. I’m in love. I’m so much in love with this thai boy, he thought.

Suddenly he asked, “Hey, do you know how pretty my sight is?”.

“What!?”, Rune became bright red.

“Rune, it's my first time experiencing this”, Kwan said, coming close to Rune.

“Wait, uhh, is this the right thing to do?”, the way you look at me is different, but I want you to keep looking at me like that, Kwan thought.

“I like you, Kwan!”. Rune kissed him. He couldn't hold back thinking of the future. He liked Kwan.

“Rune are you sure you can handle me?”, Kwan meant it to be funny but he did wonder what Rune would say when he confronts his past. “I know I can”, Rune said smiling. 

Happiness was in another country, Rune thought as he slept in Kwan’s arms that night.

“Don’t you miss Thailand?”, Kwan asked suddenly. “yes, I do”.

“Let's go there sometime. I want to see Bangkok. Will you take me?”, Kwan made a puppy face which made Rune laugh.

“Yes, we can go sometime. There is a lot of places I want to take you to”, Rune was way more excited to take Kwan to his hometown.

"It's not anytime soon but I will take you," Rune said after a pause.
