Junmyeon’s class would begin in about an hour and he had arrived way too early. The male propped his arms on the table for support with his eyes directed to his untouched cup of coffee. The coffee was actually for Kris. His boyfriend had been texting him that he was incredibly sleepy and without thinking, Junmyeon bought him his favorite coffee in the usual place.
Kris was still on his way to the university and Junmyeon tried killing some time by reading a book. He flipped the pages absentmindedly, trying to digest the printed words on the textbook and all of a sudden, a soft voice sent his thoughts flying.
“Hi.”
Junmyeon slowly shifted his gaze from the book to see a handsome male standing before him. He frowned slightly as he tried to remember where he had seen the male before... A smile was etched onto Junmyeon’s beautiful face as he recalled seeing him the other day with Luhan.
“Hi... Aren’t you the one with Luhan the other day?”
“I am. Wow, you have a good memory,” Yixing complimented. He broke into a smile and Junmyeon saw a cute dimple forming on the other male’s cheek. The male politely offered his hand. “Zhang Yixing.”
Junmyeon gazed at the offered hand for a moment before reluctantly taking it. “Kim Junmyeon.”
“Nice to meet you, Junmyeon.”
“N—nice to meet you too, Yixing...”
Silence followed the conversation soon after. Junmyeon didn’t seem like he would ask Yixing to join him, but even if he did, Yixing wasn’t really in the mood for sitting and chitchatting.
“Are you busy at the moment?”
“Eh?”
“Would you mind showing me around?” Yixing scratched his head sheepishly. “That is, if you don’t mind, of course.”
“Now?” Junmyeon looked uncertain.
“If you have anything else to do, it’s okay. Maybe next time.”
Junmyeon avoided Yixing’s gaze nervously. “It’s just that... I have a class in less than an hour.”
Yixing chuckled. “It would be enough. I’m not asking you for a whole day, am I?”
Junmyeon didn’t look comfortable with the idea. He kept on throwing glances at the clock on his phone screen and seemed to be in thought. Finally, the male gave Yixing a nod. Junmyeon shouldered his backpack, grabbing the cup of his takeaway coffee and led Yixing the way.
They walked side by side to various places on the campus (“Definitely the places that you’ll be visiting a lot”, Junmyeon smiled), from the classes to places such as the library. Despite his serious face, it turned out that Yixing had a good sense of humour. He was funny and Junmyeon found himself erupting into fits of laughter a few times. Yixing also noticed the cup of coffee that Junmyeon had in his hand. The pretty male kept on holding it but made no move to drink it.
It had been a while since Junmyeon laughed whole heartedly like this. Usually with Kris, they would be wrapped in a comfortable silence, polite giggles and warm, linking hands. But it was not that he hated it. Maybe it was just the way they interacted with each other.
The thought of Kris made Junmyeon smiled. He just loved everything about Kris and the slight image of his boyfriend never failed to amuse him.
