Surprise

Short story

Surprise ?

💋

After such a long day those time had passed, he sat alone in his house, wondering how would he end his night being left alone in his own house.

He took a sip of his freshly ground warm black coffee while listening to whatever it is in the television. He looked at his mobile phone and felt slightly awkward as there isn't anybody text him even though the time was only fifteen minutes passed 11 at night.

He sighed as he took another sip of his coffee. How the pleasure of the warmth of it went down his throat to perhaps the deepest core of his stomach..

He grunts alone,

"And I thought that he would be here again to accompany me tonight,"

He lifts his shoulders up as he out the half empty cup of coffee back down in the coffee table in front of him. He put his mobile phone on the couch he sits on. He takes the television remote and switch the channel to a different one but it seems like there isn't anything that interest him at all at that time. He finished the warm coffee, he took the empty cup and went to the kitchen to clean it up.

His phone that is in vibration mode suddenly rang. He couldn't hear it because if the water at the sink slowly pour down as he clean the cup.

As he walk back in front, the phone only left one missed call. He turned off the television as he walked to his bedroom, forgetting about his mobile phone in the couch at the living room hall.

**

Inside his bedroom, he prepared himself for bed but somehow, outside of how house, a man wearing his dark denim jeans walks towards his front door from outside, still trying to reach for him. He heard the voice mail operator speaks again, he grunts as he keeps the mobile phone back in his pocket,

"And where could this bubly bear be hiding?"

He sighs as he stops right in front of the door. He knocks on it selveral of times but at that time, Kyungsoo is in the bathroom, brushing his teeth.

**

After a while, Kyung gets out from the bathroom, taking his face towel to wipe his wet face, he out the towel aside as he took off the t-shirt that he wore. He sat down on his bed, not realizing that the curtain in his room is partly pushed aside...

**

Outside the man that has been waiting for him felt slightly devastated,

Ahhh, maybe he's still at work," he sighs and before he took another step away from his house. The light from Kyung's bedroom turned off. He smiled slyly as he walked towards his bedroom...

"AHH, maybe he's inside,"

He took a peek at him that put himself down on the bed... And with a sly smirked in his face, he knocked on the window, but still hiding himself to be seen.. 

"Bubbly bear...,"

He lightly said his calm name to him...

**

In the house when he's about to go to sleep, he heard somebody knocked at the front door of his house.. he opened his eyes again and is at his surprised to hear somebody called for him from outside...

"Bubbly bear...,"

He looked to the window... He couldn't see anybody there but he had a hunch that it could be the man that he has been waiting for.

Doubtfully, excited, he pushed the pillow in his hand to the side,

"Could it be him?"

He rushedly vets out from his bed and walked to the front door...

How to his surprise to see him, standing there outside of his house, holding a cake with a candle that's already lighten in his hand. He gives a smile across his face

"Happy anniversary, my bubbly bear,"

He could only see his smile underneath the mild light from the candle but he knows that those smile a genuine to prove his love for him... a smile spread across his lips

"Kai,"

He wraps his arms across his body, trying to avoid the cake in his hand.

Kai smile precisely when he sees him right in front of him.

He took the cake from his hand as he out it in the table in his house, he pulled Kai inside the house with him

"And I thought you'd forget about it,"

Kai smiled,

"How can I, my bubbly bear... You're my only one and the only man I ever love in my life...

He smiled as he wrapped his arms around his body. Kai kissed his lips passionately before the two of them blew the single candle together to celebrate their everlasting time with each other...
