Chasing Thunders : Part I (1/1)

Jisoo was in her deep sleep until a thunderous roar came and woke her up. “Thunder!” She whispered, immediately she looked around to see if anyone was awake; she grabbed her jacket, the flashlight and her camera. She nuck out of the cabin. Whenever there were thunders and lightnings, she would like to chase after them.  Jaebum waited in the cabin, when thunders came he thought for sure that he would have to stay there all night by himself. Much to his surprise when he heard knocking at the doors. Jisoo followed the lightnings and came upon the cabin. She saw the lights were on, without a second thought, she came to knock on it. Jaebum hesitated, but he thought that it was probably one of the boys coming, he came to the door and said, “It’s occupied!”  Jisoo was taken aback by the voice that she blurted out, “JAEBUM?”  He opened the door immediately, and when he saw her, he gulped with nervousness and excitement.  Jisoo’s face brighten up when she saw him, “You’re here for the thunders too?” She asked with excitement. “Huh?”  “The thunders! Lightnings, why are you here?” She asked innocently.  Jaebum sighed, “Jisoo, where’s your phone?”  She searched for it, but couldn’t find it, she concluded “I left it in the cabin.”  “Jisoo, did you read my text?”  “The text? Ah! You were so mean!” She declared, only had recollection of their conversation before she slept.  Jaebum sighed aloud, rubbed his forehead in defeat.  “What’s wrong?”  “Nothing, come inside, it’s gonna rain soon.”  “But it would be hard to see the lightning inside.” She objected and wanted to stay out.  “You like lightning?” He asked.  She nodded, “I find it interesting, especially when thunders come after.”  “You can still see it from inside, we just have to open the window.”  She was reluctant to, outside would be a clearer picture, and the lightnings had been moving, changing places. “Jisoo, don’t you want to stay with me?” Jaebum asked bluntly.  She groaned, glancing at him then the sky outside.  “Kim Jisoo, I am not happy right now, why don’t you come and try to make me smile?”  She looked at him with a pout and groans.  Jaebum turned serious and pulled her in, shut the door before he backed her up against the door, “Have you forgotten about the idea of the exploration of Im Jaebum’s body?”  Jisoo flustered at his bluntness.  “Are we now back to normal that you aren’t intrigue by my body anymore?” He asked. Jisoo felt dizzy at the bombarded bluntness, he left her speechless with a red face.  Jaebum smirked in satisfaction at her reaction, “We’re alone,” he whispered, “Perfect opportunity for you to try…” he said, but inside he was a nervous wreck.  Jisoo suddenly jumped when a lightning flashed, “Thunder!” She shouted after pushing him away and ran to open the window. She counted the seconds before the thunder arrived. Then another lightning struck, and repeated, but it was a pity that she couldn’t see where the lightning was.  “Jisoo, let’s just have a talk,” Jaebum suggested when he patted the mattress to have her come sit next to him. She glanced at him, then back outside, she was reluctant to sit beside him. He noticed her hesitation and awry expression that he apologized. “I’m sorry. I won’t do anything weird. I just want to have a talk. I’ll wait when you’re ready.”  Jisoo came to sit next to him. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her in closer and she gazed into his eyes.  “Do you want to?” he asked.  She nodded lightly, but said, “But, it’s my first time. So I might not be good, or –“ “Then I don’t want to do it.” He said with eyes still gazing at her. Jisoo’s lips pulled into a frown, she didn’t even get to finish her sentence. “I don’t want your first time here,” he continued, caressing her cheek, “I don’t want your precious first time to be here, not in this place. We will do it when we get home.”  Jisoo smiled and nodded to which Jaebum gave her a kiss on the forehead.  “But, I don’t want to go back to the cabin,” she said, “Can we stay here together.” He nodded and she smiled, wrapping her arms around his body, “Is it okay for us to sleep like this?”  “Huh?”  “Mm…think of it as a little practice?” Jisoo innocently suggested, thinking that this would be a great idea. To Jaebum, this was torture, the worst torture in hell. Yet, he obliged because she was happy.  When they laid down together, Jisoo did not let go, rather, she moved in closer and felt herself comfortable in his embrace. She was happy she got to feel his chest and hear his heart beating that she giggled. Jaebum gulped with every touch from her. To him, it was very uncomfortable, he could feel his whole body reacting. He closed his eyes and counted sheep, a foolish attempt to fall asleep faster, counting the night away, but it didn’t work.  “Jaebum, I think there’s a snake below us.” She whispered, and he gulped with face scrunched up, trying his best to take care of his reaction. “Jaebum,” Jisoo whispered.  “Jisoo, please don’t make any sound.” He begged.  “But there’s something–“  “Jisoo! Please! Don’t touch anywhere!” He said after he grabbed her wrist that was moving down, “Especially down there.” Jisoo was perplexed then gasped when it dawned on her, and she asked, “Jaebum, is there anyway that I could help?”  “Stay quiet, I will take care of it myself.”  She nodded obediently. Pretty soon she fell asleep and so was he.  ––•••–– When dawn appeared, the two of them walked back to their cabin before everyone woke up. Jisoo quietly snuck in, believing that everyone was still asleep.  “Kim Jisoo.” The resonant voice of a nosy busybody of a friend, Yoon Sohee, called out her name as soon as she made it through the door.  “Sohee…” Jisoo whispered a plead, “Can you please–“ “Did you do it?” Sohee asked immediately. “Please, stop!” Jisoo shook her head as a signal.  “Aish, you two are such slowpokes.” She commented before leaving her be.  Jisoo pouted, went over to her bed and grabbed her phone. She then saw the text message from last night. She gasped, “So this was what he meant. Ah, I’m so stupid!”  “Finally admitting it?” Sohee joked.  “Leave me alone!” She retorted.   When Jisoo and Sohee was having a small friendly quarrel, Seyeon was watching. Nami came out of the shower, but she was holding something very familiar to Seyeon. “What are you doing?” She whispered to Nami when she saw Jisoo’s necklace with the plectrum pendant.  Nami raised her head and said, “She left it, she didn’t do a good job at keeping it safe.”  “Nami, this is not you.” Seyeon whispered.  “What do you know about me?” Nami snapped.  “Nami, this is wrong. She didn’t leave it, you stole it.”  “Oh Seyeon, remember. You owe me.” She whispered with clench teeth. Seyeon swallowed her anger and frustration. She kept quiet. ––•••–– Jisoo went into a frantic when she couldn’t find her necklace. She wasn’t herself all day, didn’t even bother to reply back to Jaebum’s text. All she wanted to do was find the necklace and she looked everywhere herself. Then a female student came and told her that Oh Seyeon had it. They told her that they saw Seyeon took it and threw it down the hill slope. Jisoo went to find Seyeon. She didn’t understand why Oh Seyeon took it. She remembered that when Seyeon saw her necklace, she gave it back to her.  So why would she took it and threw it away? Was she mad that Sehun wasn’t successful with the confession?   “Oh Seyeon!” Jisoo called, when Seyeon was in the middle of a conversation with Yoonhwan. “Give it back!” She demanded. “Give what
