Your Wish Is My Command

Neglected [Kai]

Requested by sujugirl



You sat on a staircase across the main entrance to the south campus of your university. That had been your reserved spot for almost three years. Whenever you had free time you would go there to relax and get everything off of your mind. You plugged in your head phones and closed your eyes, blocking out the rest of the world.  

“Are you listening to those gay boys again,” your friend said hitting you lightly on the back of your head.

“Stop it Ariel,” you said with slight irritation and ignoring her comment. She pulled the head phones out of your ears and frowned cheekily.

“What?” you snapped.

“Wohoooo, what’s wrong with you?” she asked lifting her hands. You had taken her by surprise with your immediate and intense reaction.

“Nothing,” you mumbled. No matter how annoying she could get sometimes, you still adored her. You had been friends way too long to let her hate for your kpop obsession get in the way.

“Oh I get it. Is it because I called your precious boys gay, again?” she asked

“Ariel,” you said a bit sternly this time.

“Okay, okay I’ll stop if it makes you happy.”

“Thank you,” you made a brief reply before indulging yourself back into the music. You closed your eyes, letting the light air brush your naked arms. The corner of your lips curved into a beautiful smile.

“________,” she called your name shortly after.

“Hmmmm,” you replied.

“Is there something you’re hiding from me?” she asked, looking for signs of change in your facial expression.

“No,” you responded.

“Yes you are. I saw your nose cringe.” She snapped her finger in your face, forcing you to open your eyes.

“No I didn’t,” you tried to cover up and looked away.

“Then why are you hiding your face from me?” she sounded even more suspicious this time.

“It’s nothing,” you tried to let it slip but you knew sooner or later you would have to tell her and your other friends.

“__________,” she said your name with full emphasis. This meant that she was serious. She definitely knew something was up. You hated her for knowing you so well.

“Well,” you shifted sides so you wouldn’t have to make eye contact with her. “There’s this guy.”

“Oh Gosh there’s a guy, there’s a guy.. there’s a guyyyyy,” Ariel began singing in a deep voice.

“Stop,” you turned around and held her hand.

“What’s going on?” John asked approaching both you and her. Sunie followed close behind.

“________’s got a guy.”

“Ariellll,” you nudged her.

“What? Really? Why are you hiding it from us?”

“Come on _______, tell us who it is?” John sat, putting his hand around your shoulder.

“I didn’t want to tell you guys because..”

“Because…” he raised his eyebrows waiting for you to finish your statement.

“He is Korean,” you mumbled.

**What** - the three of them gasped as their jaw dropped in surprise.

“Yep,” you nodded, keeping your gaze fixed on the ground.

“How long?” Sunie asked.

“6 months.”

**6 months**- they cried once again.

“When were you going to tell us?” Ariel hit you and this time she made sure it would hurt.

“I didn’t want to tell you guys because of the way you would react.”

“What do you mean?” John asked.

“He is Korean and you guys hate my Korean obsession.”

The three pattering figures fell silent and gazed at each other from time to time. You were right. They had always nagged you about it and now that you were dating a Korean guy, they really didn’t know what to say. You had taken them by complete surprise.

“Well?” you asked, hoping they had something nice to say.

“Umm we would like to meet him.” Sunie said putting her hand on your shoulder. She always tried to make you feel comfortable with her warm smile.

“Yea,” John and Ariel added.

“Okay but don’t be awkward around him. He’s an exchange student here so he doesn’t know the norms. Please make him comfortable.”

The three of them nodded in agreement. You shook your head lightly before getting up to leave. You could only hope that things would go well and they wouldn’t mess anything up.

********************************************

Just as you were about to close your dorm room door you felt someone come up behind you. Before you could turn around, two hands covered your eyes and pushed you in. You heard the door close and right then you knew who it was.

“Kai I know it’s you,” you said turning around. He pulled his hands away, greeting you with him warm smile and twinkling eyes. He leaned in to kiss you.

“Don’t you..have.. class?” you asked between the short kisses. He shook his head, dragging you towards the wall.

“I have to tell you something,” you tried to tell him but he was too busy gracing your soft skin with his lips to listen.

“Kai, seriously I have to tell you something,” you said.

“You can tell me later,” he replied in his broken but adorable English. You couldn’t resist his cuteness and submitted to his wishes. The thought kept bugging you so you finally pulled away.

“I want you to meet my friends,” you blurted out before he could pull you back.

“Whaaaa,” he gasped with his eyes wide open.

“Ye,” you nodded.

“But you told me you weren’t going to tell them anytime soon.”

“I had to. It’s been 6 months. I don’t want to keep any secrets. I love them,”

“And what about me?”

“I love you too,” you said without thinking. The wrinkles on Kai’s forehead disappeared and his pale cheeks started to turn red once again. A sweet smile embraced his face. It was the first time you had said that to him. He looked away shyly and walked to the window. You were also embarrassed but more importantly you were disappointed. Sure you’d blurted it out but he could have the courtesy to return the statement. You shook your head out of your thoughts. You had more important things to worry about at the moment.

“They’ll love you. I promise,” you said walking up to him.

“But you said that they hated my culture.”

“I didn’t say that… I said they hated my obsession with it,” you replied, placing your hand on his shoulder.

“But still,” he turned around and held your hands.

“Don’t be nervous. They’re just my friends.”

“Yes and I want to make a good impression on them.”

“Then what’s the worry?”

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“You are so adorable, they’ll love you without you having to try,” you tried to pull his nose but he stopped you and instead planted another kiss on your lips.

“You know how to make me happy don’t you?”

“Of course,” you smiled cheekily. “Now come on get ready.”

“What? We are meeting them now?” he cried in surprise.

“Yep,” you said running into your bathroom.

*************************************************

“Bowling? Bolwing? Seriously ___________? “Kai asked while you pushed him inside the small building.

“Come on, it’ll be fun.”

“Why couldn’t we go for Karaoke or something,” he made a face.

“Seriously Kai? Seriously?”

“What?”

“If you want them to like you then just do as I say okay. Believe me Karaoke will not help your case,” you winked at him and held his hand to comfort him.

“Hey,” Ariel greeted while John and Sunie followed close behind. You introduced everyone to Kai and them to Kai. They smiled nervously and looked from here to there.

“Umm let’s get the shoes. Did you guys get the lane?” you asked, clapping your hands.

“Ah yeah,” John replied. “Let’s go.” He pulled your hand from Kai’s and began walking you to the lane. You turned around to look at Kai. His skin had grown pale and you could tell that he was shaking.

“Come on,” you mouthed the words.

“Guys why did you leave him there?” you said sternly, getting up to get Kai. You saw him walk towards the group slowly.

“We can’t really walk him everywhere like a baby you know,” Ariel said, rolling her eyes. You were about to reply when you felt Kai’s hand on your shoulder.

“They don’t have my shoe size.”

“What’s your shoe size man?” John asked.

“10,” he mumbled.

“Awww I think I took the last pair. The place looks pretty packed tonight.”

“What are we going to do now?” you pouted.

“Don’t worry. I’ll just watch you guys.”

“No, that won’t be fun. I want you to have fun,”

“I’ll be fine _________,” he insisted.

“Don’t worry,” John slapped his hand on Kai’s shoulder. “I’ll give you mine when I’m done okay?”

“Yeah,” Kai replied with a forced smile.

“No guys this isn’t right,” you whined.

“________ I’ll be fine. Don’t mess up their day because of me okay?” Kai whispered, pulling you to the side.

“But..”

“Shhh,” he put his finger close to your lips. “Now go.”

Ariel did the honors of starting. Sunie preceded you. You got up, picked up the lightest ball and fixed your position.

“Wohoooo,” John cried.

“I got this you guys, I got this,” you said cheekily and woosh slid the ball.  

“Wahhaaaaaa,” Ariel and John jumped as you made a strike. You brushed your hair from your face with a sense of pride and walked back on what you perceived to be your victory platform.

“Don’t get too cocky. The game just started,” John patted your shoulder. You glanced at Kai who was busy scrolling through his phone.

“Kai,” you pouted.

“Hmm,” he looked up.

“You didn’t see that?” you asked with a disappointed face.

“What?” he asked looking completely oblivious to his surroundings. After that you didn’t have the heart to play. You tried to enjoy but your mind was fixed at Kai’s behavior. Why was he being so silly? Why couldn’t he just have fun with you and your friends? It hurt you a little bit but you let it slide.

“So that was a fun game.” John remarked taking off his shoes.

“Kai do you want to play now?” you asked.

“Oh I think we ran out of time and we can’t book the lane again for like another hour or so,” Sunie said apologetically.

“What?” you snapped.

“It’s fine. I’m a little tired anyways,” Kai replied getting up.

“No stay, we still have to eat,” you held his hand.

“No I’m not really hungry either,” he mumbled. He looked at you with such an intense yet depressing gaze that you had to let go of his hand.

“Alright see you man,” John waved at Kai and so did the girls. You turned around to look at him hoping he would be looking at you too but he wasn’t. His figure hazed into the pool of people leaving you more depressed than ever.

****************************************************

You were mad at Kai. You needed to talk to him and figure out things. There were a lot of things on your mind. Starting from the unreturned ‘I love you’ to him leaving early and then everything in the middle.

“Kai,” you mumbled his name, poking your head inside his room. It wasn’t that late but you found him curled up under the covers.

“Are you alright?” you asked pulling them from on top of him.

“Huh! When you get here?” he asked.

“Just now,” you replied and made yourself comfortable beside him. “What happened there? Why did you leave?”

“I was just really tired,” he replied pulling you closer to himself.

“If you don’t tell me, how will I be able to help you? I know something’s wrong and I don’t like it. Please tell me Kai,” you insisted. “Did you not like them?”

“That’s not the question.”

“What do you mean?” you asked.

“The question is whether they liked me or not and clearly they didn’t.”

“That’s not true.”

“Yes, couldn’t you see it __________. The way they looked at me up and down. The way they greeted me and John.. he literally just took you out of my hands. No one bothered talking to me. I felt like I was just .. there. They hate me________ and ..and all I know is that if we were in Korea right now and you were meeting my friends, they would decide to rather do something else than let you sit out alone. They could at least have the courtesy to propose a different activity if I bowl? Why didn’t they? Obviously because they don’t feel like I am important enough. I don’t like being neglected or ignored.”

“Kai..” you began but he cut you short.

“They made it pretty clear that they don’t approve our relationship. Why are they like this? We don’t do such things back home.”

You tried to explain yourself but clearly you had nothing to say. Yes there were cultural differences and you were just now realizing it. You didn’t think it would bother him if you had overfriendly guy friends. More importantly you felt extremely stupid for blaming Kai for all of this in your thoughts. He wasn’t being a party pooper. It was your friends who were making him feel left out and you were just going with the flow. If you were in his position you were sure you would run out crying and blaming Kai for everything. He had every right to be mad but he remained calm. You thanked God for not being stupid and storming in on him with your long tirade that you had prepared in your head.

“I’m sorry I didn’t realize how you felt. I shouldn’t have pushed you Kai. It’s all my fault,“ you covered your face with your hands.

“It’s not your fault. It’s just…why can’t we just be a normal couple _________?” he removed your hand from your face and gazed into your eyes. The twinkle that was usually there wasn’t visible anymore.

“We are a normal couple,” you said. You got up and kneeled on your knees, putting your arms around his shoulder. “If it bothers you then I won’t force you to meet them again until you’re ready and I’ll talk to them about this too.”

“No I don’t want you to that,” he said immediately.

“It’ll be fine. Just leave it to me,” you replied. Kai pulled you into a hug planting soft kisses on your neck.

“_________,” he mumbled your name.

“Hmmm,” you murmured.

“I love you,” he whispered. You felt goosebumps on your entire body. Your heart began racing and your lips quivered.

“Whaa,” you gasped getting teary eyed.

“Are you crying?” he asked worriedly.

“No,” you wiped the forming tears and pushed him.

“Yes you are,” he teased you with his smirk. You yourself couldn’t understand why.

Sometimes our heart feels things that we have pushed deep down. The three words coming out of his mouth made you realize how much you were craving to hear them. Your tears were a pure reflection of your feelings.

“I love you too,” you said before connecting your lips to his.
