i.
In the mornings, there's music. (He's an early riser.) He turns the volume up to max, and the pounding of notes and voices in his ear is enough to (almost) drown out the rest of the world.
ii.
In the afternoons, there's a small café on the other side of campus. It's quiet,a little lonely,the way he likes it.
He nurses a small coffee, the paper cup warming his frozen fingers. Dark, one sugar, no milk. Outside, there are cars and people and traffic.
He thinks he can be content like this.
iii.
The boy reminds him of himself. Hearing the disjointed Chinese is enough to bring back memories of his own time in Korea. (Maybe that's why he bothers.)
The administration office is that way.
A surprised look; a flash of dimples. Oh. Thank you. You speak –
I'm Han Geng.
(It's been years, and the words taste a little rusty on his tongue, but he's still got it.)
iv.
At night, it's quiet.
v.
If you're lucky, you'll meet a kindred spirit one day, his grandmother used to say, when he'd still been a little boy.
He'd believed her then, with all the strength and conviction of his childhood faith.
Over the years, he wishes he can turn back time and hear her words again.Just to make sure he hadn't imagined them.
vi.
What's your name?
I'm Siwon. I'm studying in China for a few years to improve my Mandarin.
Which part of Korea are you from?
The words come pouring out in a rush that leaves him dizzy. It's like he'd been thirsty all these years, but hadn't quite realized it until now.
vii.
This night, the quiet is gone. It's replaced by fleeting touches and chapped lips and groans muffled against his chest.
There's dark hair between his fingertips. He feels the press of a smile against his lips, thinks that (maybe) he can get used to this. And then he can't think any more.
viii.
This morning, the music is softer. It's an instrumental piece – tentative, quiet (maybe a little hopeful).
It's the stay he can't quite bring himself to say out loud.
ix.
This afternoon, there's laughter at his side and a shoulder against his own as he treks across the campus. Two coffees, he tells the waitress who greets them with a nod.
He's a quick learner. Two sugars with lots of milk and cream. Outside, there are cars and people and traffic.
He thinks he can be happy like this.
(x.
three months later. Their kisses are sweet, exhilarating, and he feels like the hormonal teenager he'd never been. He thinks he knows the words for this. They sit there, at the tip of his tongue, and one day, they'll tumble out when he least expects it. Authors wax poetry about when the time is ripe and the right moment, but Han Geng thinks that whenever it comes out, it'll be all of that and more (because Siwon will be there, and that's enough).
He's happy like this.)

k so, first, the format. i'm usually not a fan of fics written in kind of list form but this seemed to work it as though perhaps this kind of thing is exactly what 'list form' ever came to be used for in fiction.
the strikeouts, italic and brackets are all pretty darn masterfully used too! in direct contrast i actually really like when formatting is used to further develop a story, and it seems to deepen the mood here really well.
At night, it's quiet.
this is wonderful. just the words on their own - four words for that whole part and you're expecting more but it never comes. the sentence seems lonely while still being a sentence in its own right and technically not needing anything more.
It's like he'd been thirsty all these years, but hadn't quite realized it until now.
i love this line, a lot. i'm not sure why but it really hits home and leaves you reeling. but the slight confusion at that point really works because it seems like he's really confused too, and for a moment the reader and the character are both going 'what?' at almost the same thing. very involving.
Two coffees, he tells the waitress who greets them with a nod.
a break from routine that he would perhaps have begrudged allowing into his life before slides right past his defences in the form of this person, and suddenly it's fine. better than fine, it's as though he was waiting for it to happen - i get the feeling he's almost showing off to this unknown waitress, saying "look, i'm not alone today!". it really made me smile and it took a moment to figure out why since at first glance it seems so mundane.

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you thought so, since I admit I usually tend to be on the wordier side when I write. I'm glad you enjoyed this!
