Coming In Slowly to Your (1/1)

The small young man is currently sitting down on the sofa in his room consumed with a new book making him not notice a tall young man who's leaning at the door frame and staring at him with a curious look."You have a very nice room." The tall young man says making Suho startled and lift his head up and he gets surprised to see Kris there at his room's door."Errr... thanks... what are you doing here? Did my mom ask you to come and get me?" Suho asks and Kris just nods while still leaning at the door frame."Lunch will be ready for another 20 minutes, he said." The tall young man says making Suho nod and put his book away."Are you going to stand there or are you going to come in?" Suho asks making the tall young man smile a little and he walks into the room as his eyes are fixed on Suho who's putting his book back on the shelf."I have noticed that you have the love for books." The tall young man says."I get by my loneliness with books and it heals me in so many ways... it's a great hobby, what would be yours?" The small young man inquires."My hobby? Watching movies, I guess... I have a bunch of them in my home and when there is a new movie with an original DVD coming out, I'll buy it to watch, specially if I didn't have the time to watch it while the movie's still screening." The tall young man says making Suho nod."One of many good ways to release some stress." Suho says."Your room is a reflection of who you really are and there are hints of femininity here and there." The tall young man says making Suho laugh a little."I live as a woman for seven days every month, remember? Of course there are girly things in my room since being a woman is one part of my life." The small young man says."...so when will it be your cycle again?" Kris asks making the small young man turn around and look at Kris curiously."It will be in another week, why?" Suho asks."Well... nothing, just curious and by the way... I have asked you out by text and you said that you still can't since you are busy with your outstation work so, how about going out with me for a nice dinner next week? I have a lot of things that I want to ask you and... I'm moving into my own place at the same time, what do you think? If you're not willing to go out, I could always make something nice for you... my home could be a nice place to have dinner." Kris says making the small young man sigh and look at the tall young man with a questioning look on his face."Kris... I know what you are trying to do and this is not going to end well between us... you know that too, right? I don't want our parents to have more trouble than they already have... it is not fair for them to have more worries about us... you really are a nice young man but I'd like for us to stay as friends." The small young man says making Kris look at Suho with a bitter smile."I have not yet even began but you already rejected me... I know that you are still in love with Lay and that is why you could not make any decision and move on... is that right?" The tall young man asks making Suho shakes his head."This is not about Lay... I told you that we are just friends and I don't have the intention to have more with him for the second time and I'm not thinking about building any relationship, with anyone, yet... It is not the time." Suho says."I thought you might agree to go out with me since I'm part of the family and you were the one who eagerly wanted me to get to know your family and even talking about me with your parents... I thought you might like me in that way, even just a little." The tall young man says with a sad look on his face making Suho bite on his lower lip."Kris... I didn't mean it that way... I just wanted them to slowly get to know you and when the time is right, you should introduce yourself, who you really are and tell them about your family... and I wanted to be there with you... you are my distant cousin... your existence is really important to the royal family." The small young man says."...then being with the distant cousin is just not practical for you? Am I way below your league?" Kris asks as he's looking at the beautiful face."That is not what I meant... will you listen? It is important for them to meet you and get to know you, after that they will accept who you are and..." Suho wanted to finish his sentence but the tall young man already opened up his mouth."...and what happens after that? We just stay as distant cousins? You will still keep your heart closed and keep on loving Lay alone while I keep looking at the man who still has not moved on from his ex-lover... I don't want to have that kind of life... lunch... just tell your mom I have something to do at the office that needs to be rushed... I'm sorry, I can't eat while feeling like this." The tall young man says making Suho want to say something but the tall young man is already getting out from his room.The small young could not say anything when he comes down for lunch and his mother is looking at him with a curious look."Where is Kris? I thought I asked him to call you down for lunch." The elder man asks making the small young man sigh a little."Looks like I have offended him so he went home." Suho says."Jun... what have you done?" Heechul asks."I... kind of rejected him when he asked me to hang out with him... I mean in a good way, I think." The small young man says making Heechul look at his son with worry."He's interested in you and he asked you out but you rejected his suggestion, is that it?" Heechul asks making the small young man nod."Why in the world did you have to be such an ass to him like that? He is a fine young man and you keep rejecting good people that come your way ever since you broke up with Lay... How long are you going to be like this? It's been 3 years since you broke up with him... your wound should be healed by now but you still stick to him like glue... god! I don't know what to do with you anymore." Heechul tells his son and he's huffing due to madness while Siwon who's getting ready for lunch looks at his son with a sullen face and also his wife who is mumbling in rage making the tall elder not want to be involved in the feud."You better do something about Kris, you hear me? I like him and I want you to have a new life... to fall in love again... walk out from Lay's side... get married to someone who loves and appreciates you." Heechul says while still in rage making the small young man sigh again and nod."I'll apologize to him; when I get the time to meet him, I still have my rounds to go to next week." The small young man says and Siwon looks at his son with worry."You could always send someone to the hotels to make rounds, if you have more important matters to do here, you should settle it first... I don't want your problem affecting your work at the office." The tall elder says making Suho smile a little."It's fine dad... I need time to get away and have my thoughts gathered." Suho says."That is good... I don't want you to be alone by yourself in this world when we're both gone, we are not getting younger by the days, Jun, and you are the only child that we have and we want you to be happy." Heechul says making Suho nod and the three of them have lunch together and Suho could feel that everything that he consumes in his mouth feels and tastes like sand and he already lost appetite the moment Kris walked out from his room.   "How is it going with the moving, Kris?" Taecyeon asks while leaning at the door frame of his son's room."It's going well and all the pieces of furniture already came in and it will look nice when everything is in place." The tall young man says making the tall elder come into the room and he looks at the big room that they always keep for Kris when the tall young man comes home but now, the 24 year old man wanted to move out and have his own place making Taecyeon's heart feel a little bit lonely."You rarely used this room even though we have prepared it for you since you were young, sending you away to boarding school was my idea but I regretted it as soon as we let you go... I missed you terribly while you were away... same with your mother, we didn't speak in a long time because of my decision." The tall elder says making Kris look at his father with a smile."But mom came around just a few days after that, right?" Kris asks as he's putting some of the books that he needs into the box and he's already packed some of the clothes that he needs to bring over to the new home and if he needs more clothes, he could just buy them and leave the old ones here."Are you sure that this is what you want? Your mother is pretty upset about it though; since you are always away she wishes that you could stay a little bit longer with us and your brother and sister will be full of questions when they get back from boarding school." Taecyeon says."When are they coming home Dad?" Kris asks curiously."Their summer break will be starting in one week and I think I'll want to send them away if they make a fuss about you moving." The tall elder says making the tall young man laugh."...and where are you going to send them away?" Kris asks."Magic Land would be a good place for them to be disciplined and by the way Kris, do you not want your powers and magic to be awakened? It's a waste if you do not know about your own strength." The tall elder says making Kris sigh and sit down beside his father."Part of me is still afraid to know who I am and what I could do when I awaken my potential powers and magic but there is also a part of me that wants to know about it more and I am still thinking about it... is it okay if you give me more time?" The tall young man asks his father.Taecyeon smiles while patting on his son's back, "It is up to you and you are old enough to make the decision on your own... and by the way Kris, I saw an interesting book by your bed... there, what is that?" Taecyeon asks."Oh... that, I borrowed it from a friend who is from the royal family and he showed me the person whose face I never thought I'd see for the rest of my life but... because of this book I finally met him and knew who he was." The tall young man says making Taecyeon knit his brows."Who is it?" The tall elder asks and Kris just smiles a little."Next time, I will introduce him to you but not now." The tall young man says as he takes the book and keeps it in the box that he's going to send away to the new home."Your mom says that you are going to have a welcoming party on the same week that you move into the new home... is there anything that you need?" The tall elder asks."I don't think so... the party was forced by Eli and Kevin hyung since it's been a while since we could have good food and drinks... you and mom will be coming too, right?" Kris asks."Of course... we are going to bring those brats with us cause if not, they will be nagging us about you all week." Taecyeon says making Kris laugh as he already knows that his little brother and sister really adore him and he's blessed to have great parents like Taecyeon and Fei who love him like he's their own son and love him without any condition or needing anything in return.   The moving was a success and Kris feels tired after everything's done. Finally, he got his own place after 8 months of working his ass off and gathering the money and with the small help from his parents, he got the apartment that he wanted and this will be his home for now.The tall young man walks to the one box where he kept his books and he's taking all the books out one by one from the inside. Eventually, he takes out the one particular book that has a connection with Suho. After the day, when he let out everything to the small young man, he's been avoiding Suho even though the small young man has been coming by to visit the construction work on his hotel, he'd just walk out from the main site and busy himself with other things, but at the same time he feels a little bit embarrassed about what he said to the small young man.Kris didn't know that liking someone could hurt this much and he still doesn't know why his heart chose Suho of all other people that he met in the past even though he has rather discriminated when he knew who Suho really was, it slowly changed and like some spell of magic and just by a few meetings with the small young man, his hear
