[M] I Will Follow You... Into (1/1)

I woke up and felt intensive, excruciating, genuine and abysmal pain from every part of my body.I felt like my head had been hammered by Hephaestus, my ribs ripped out by Ares, my back broken by Heracles, my neck slashed open by Athena, my knees and heels showered by arrows by Paris and my eyes blinded by Apollo's presence. But I realized it was all worth it. The pain, it didn't all come to me for nothing.I can hold her now. I can feel her without the Furies wanting me, commanding me to touch her in the neck and choke her out. I can talk to her without the ghostly bastards breathing down my neck mumbling curse words to shout to her. I can finally be with her. But for the past days I've been warned.I've argued back though. And I gained command towards my family. Before they separated us my family, yes each and every one, told me that that night they felt like a weight was lifted from their shoulders. Even dad.And mom was happy to hear about it. My siblings especially Jay had apologized to me a hundred times and just to milk it I asked him to take care of me. And there he is on the corner couch sleeping. On the other corner couch lay Jia with a book in her hands and her glasses on. Sprawled on the floor were the twins, hugging the hell out of each other as they sleep. Over the past few days the 'faction' in the house, if you've noticed had affected out baby twins. They tried to stay away from each other. But now it's all good. Cool beans as the two would put it. Weird but cute. I love my siblings. My weird-ass, shady, super-strong, demigod siblings. Well I love them and all the perks of loving them.I looked out the window and  saw that it was already morning. Judging by the warm sunlight it isn't late in the afternoon yet, maybe around 10 am? I looked down and sure enough half of my body is in casts. I looked at Jia and she must not have noticed that I'm awake yet. I tried to sneak my legs and slide it off to bed to get up and walk to the kitchen to get a bite. I slowly moved my right leg off the bed.I dropped it on the ground but my cast had made thump on the wooden floors. Jay's eyes shot open and smiled at me with his weird-ass brotherly smile. He tried to pass it off as "I'm normal this way" but I say otherwise.Jia dropped her book and took off her glasses and stood up. But she isn't looking at me. She looked at where my foot had dropped and I followed her gaze. My foot had landed on JB's forehead. The poor kid didn't even wake up. And yeah, the wooden thump sound? It wasn't the floor.Jay: Taecyeon-ah! You're up!He clapped his hands like a retarded seal. I tried to get up faster than him but my broken ribs that are starting to heal thanks to Minjun hyung and his healing said otherwise. I dropped back to the bed as Jay put his hands on both shoulders and restricted me from standing up.Jay: Sit down bro.. You ain't allowed to leave the room yet..He said as he smiled still with that weird smile of his. It looked really weird especially with his little yet buff body and his gangster-greek tattoos. Jia walked over from the couch and removed my foot from JB's head. He put a blanket on the twins and then looked back at me.Jia: Sup?She said as she crossed her arms on her chest and stared down at me. Jay put my head back on the pillows and tucked me back in my sheets.Jia: Soo.. still hurting?She said with a smirk. Jay was fiddling all over me like mom. Worse, he even has this apron on that I haven't noticed at first meaning he had cooked. Must be the burnt smell that I just noticed now.Jay: So what do you remember?He said finally done with his fiddling and sat at the end corner of my bed on the right. He crossed his legs and rested both his hands on his knee. Jia sat to my side and blinked rapidly at me. I don't know why. Jay also, well he tried his best to look cute.Jia: What happened last night?Jia coached me as if I were one of her many girly girl friends at a slumber party trying to talk about each other's crushes, make-uip and boys. She had that tone in her voice.Taecyeon: Not much.. You?I tried to pass off what had happened last night. CHAMKAMANYO!What DID happen last night? All I remember was falling with someone with-Taecyeon: YOONA!I shouted and sat up from my bed but Jay dove forward and pushed me back to recline on the pillows sending a wave of pain from my chest down to.. well sending a wave of pain to every part of my body. Jia pushed me back as well and well that didn't help. That didn't help at all.Jia: Relax oppa. So what happened? What do you remember?Jia said as if it was nothing. If only they know what I'm feeling right now.What I see, what I hear.. What I feel for her. The scenes from last night came back to me like an old film. I remember her attacker. And I remember seeing the Furies behind him. And then this hyung right here running after her. And then she flew. And I flew after her and tried to cushion her fall with my body but ended up broken as much as she is right now.Taecyeon: I have to see her.i tried to sit up again but Jia put pressure on my left shoulder again and I shrunk back to the sheets and pillows.Sheets and Pillows.Last night I felt her on top of me as if she were my sheets. I cradled her atop me as if she were a child. And I was her pillow luring her to sleep and never let go of me.I wanted to feel it again. But my siblings here are restraining me from seeing her. From holding her again. That night, that sunrise, it was only a short time but it felt like days with her. I want her.I need her.A head shot up from below the bed's level and craned all around. It sniffed and squinted it's eyes at me at first like an ostrich. His nose crinkled and then he said.Jr: I smell..His sentence was continued by another head that shot up. But this one held it's head as if it felt the hammering I had on mine. He sniffed the room too and both stood up.JB: ..food.Both scrambled to the door trying to put on slippers and to walk outside. As they had gotten into their slippers both made a grab for the door knob. As they had succeeded in opening the door they ran outside and we haven't heard of them since.Jay: So.. back to you? What happened last night?I tried to sit up.Taecyeon: Let me see her first.Jaebeom hyung pushed me back.Jay: Anni..He said pushing me back again. I tried to sit up again and said.Taecyeon: But I-I got pushed back by Jia this time.Jia: Anniyo.I fell back to the pillows and howled in pain. I sat up and said.Taecyeon: Okay this has got to stop. Why can't I see her yet anyway?Jay: She's healing.Jia: You're healing.I tried to sit up again.Taecyeon: Just a sneak.Both pushed me back and i screamed in pain. This time their shove felt like punches to my shoulders especially when they used only two fingers to push me back. It felt like stabs on my shoulder blades.Then Jay stood up and so did Jia. Jay: Let me grab you breakfast. We can go visit her later.He stood up and when he got to the door I made a run for it not minding the pain I felt. The timing was perfect, the door was about to close, Jia had her back turned on me and Jay had already gone out the room.I grabbed the cane resting on the bedside table. I put it between the door and limped to it. Jia looked at me as I had gone outside. Jay had gone mid-way the stair case as he looked back at me halfway to Yoona's room. I used the cane to support myself.Jia came running towards me.Jia: Yah! You haven't healed enough yet!She made a tackle for me but I bent down and held her legs and made a fireman carry and dropped her on my left side. She regained her footing and ran to the Guest room's door. Yoona must be inside it. She dashed to it and started calling out names. Wooyoung came out and Jia explained to him what was happening.Jia: He's making a run for Yoona, Woo. Get him.She said laughing. We loved this. This was kind of our play time. We used to do this as kids. When us guys want to raid the toy room the others would usually try to defend the Toy Room. This time they're trying to defend Yoona's room.Wooyoung: Hyung!He shouted at me and dashed for me. He was running at top speed but I side stepped and held out my cane to the side like a wing and he ran smack into it hitting him in the gut. He groaned. As I made it in front of the stairs and Minjun, Chansung and Junho had joined Jia and had already made a defensive line Jay jumped from the middle of the stair case and tried to air tackle me.I stopped him mid-air in his trajectory and lay my hand and smacked him on the chest and pushed downwards. He lay there groaning in the carpet. JB and Jr came running upstairs and bounded towards me. JB even had a waffle still in his mouth hanging out like dog and his tongue. Jr had bacon grease all over his face which must've meant the twins had tried to feed each other again.Mir came out from the common bathroom and was wiping his hands and realized it was play time. He threw the toilet paper roll, yeah a whole roll, he insists on using his own type of roll. Anyway, he threw the roll back and the tissue paper flew like he TP'ed a house. And made a run for me with his hands flailing.He got fifty steps towards me when the others regained their stance and fell into full battle mode. Lee Joon came out of his room with a Rapid Fire NERF gun and was shooting like a trigger happy soldier.And then Ji shouted and had stopped all of us including me in our tracks.Jia: Yah! Everyone hajima!She shouted as she made a gap and started to push everyone in their defensive line. Everyone stopped and every pair of eyes turned to the girl who walked between the gap of the defensive line set up in front of the guest room. She walked between my siblings and wobbled like a baby trying to learn to walk. I craned my head to get a glimpse of her. Blasted my tall siblings except well maybe for Jaebeom hyung. KEKEKE. Kidding.Anyway, as I was trying to get a glimpse of her I lowered my cane which I flailed like a mad man as Lee Joon fired his NERF gun, I saw her walk towards me. She walked veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery carefully. Really, read that word like you mean it. Lot of 'e' in it, eh?Anyway, back to the story.She walked towards me but she tripped. I had to think fast. I sacrificed the pain receptors of my body and dashed towards her with all my might. As she was about to fal I caught her and I held her like she was a fragile flower with doe-eyes and almost platinum blonde hair. Just like Wooyoung's but her's had more gold in it.Taecyeon: I got you..I said as her elbows had gone inside the measures of her body and her knees had obviously buckled on her weight. I breathed softly and so did she. I smelled her breath and felt like I'm in the middle of a rose field. How could she smell so good in the morning?Then from downstairs I heard the double doors open. And a couple of voices. I heard and caught some of the words. The female voice said something about the Jungs.Hyori: Oh, yeobo, I forgot the Jungs are on vacation.Then I heard plastic bags ruffle each other. Mom and Dad must've gone grocery shopping. Must be for my meals. Speaking of I am hungry as fuck. Oh! Pardon my French, I mean I'm as hungry as Katniss of the Hunger Games. KEKEKE.Jihoon: What smells like burned food?The footsteps faded towards the direction of the kitchen. My younger siblings ran downstairs including Suzy who just got out of the room. Jia had pushed me back to my room. Jay had ran downstairs and the others had cleaned our small battlefield and followed the younger ones downstairs.Taecyeon: Yoona..Yoon: Taecyeon..We both spoke each other's names as I got dragged into my room.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I stood there and watched him as he got dragged back into his room as he had mentioned my name. A few seconds later, Jia and Junho came out from the room and walked towards me. My stomach grumbled.I saw him and he even held me.What is this feeling. Like a thousand butterflies fluttering inside my stomach. My blood rushed to my heart, all of it. The pain had been gone in the moment he held me. And then Junho interrupted my thoughts as he said.Junho: Let's get you downstairs noona!More like shouted. And then Jia spoke up as she walked towards me and supported me as I stood up with my back on the guest room door.Jia: You must be hungry Yoona.Both said in a giddy voice. I looked at them and blinked a few times before responding.Yoona: N- Neh..I nodded my head at them a little bit hesitating. I realized I really am hungry. Hungry as hell. I could eat a horse.Minjun: Of course she is Jia.She said to Jia and then he turned towards me.Minjun: Oh anyeong Yoona. Let's get you downstairs. Let Wooyoung carry you.He said with a smile plastered to his face. It didn't rub of like the past smiles he gave. Some of it were murderous, insane smiles too. But this one, this one felt genuine.Yoona: N-No I can manage..I tried to avoid the help but Wooyoung had already grabbed me like a kid and started to carry me downstairs.Wooyoung: Don't worry noona.. You might fall and I wouldn't want Taecyeon hyung to get mad at me..As we had reached downstairs Mrs.Park was scolding Jay for cooking burnt food for the twins.Hyori: ..you expect this to be eaten?She held up burned toast and waved it at Jay's face but they were both smiling. So I guess, she isn't really scolding him but they too were fooling around.Hyori: And you fed these to the twins?She held up two pieces of burned bacons too. Then from behind JB said.JB: Mom we're not babies.Jr agreed with his twin as both were seated on the counter tops.Jr.: Yeah.Then both realized they were seated on the counter tops. Jr fed a burned bacon to his twin and JB accidentally bit his finger. JB chewed happily at his bacon piece as Jr pulled back his hand.Jr: Oww!He shouted as the pain had registered late to him.Jr: Mom! Jaebeom bit my finger!Hyori went back to her cooking for a second and then wiped her hand on her apron and looked at Jr and JB.Hyori: You two play nice..She realized both were on the counter tops with their slippers on.Hyori: And get down from the counter, guys.. You're getting the food dirty.She placed a plateful of bacon and waffles beside the two. From the doorway Wooyoung made me stand as Suzy supported me. I laughed at Jr and JB's comical scenario. Hyori kissed Jr's finger and looked at JB but smiled at both. I laughed loud enough for them to hear.Yoona: Uhh.. Mianhaeyo..Everyone stopped except for Hyori who continued her cooking. I looked around and I don't see Mr.Park. They both arrived a while back but he must've gone somewhere again.Hyori: Don't just stand there and look at Yoona..I thought she was talking to me but I remembered she had said my name. SO she said it more to her children than me.Hyori: ..pull a seat for her. Boys get down from the counter.She said to the twins. Jia had gone to help their mother as Junho pulled a chair for me and Suzy assisted me to sit on it. Jay started to make a breakfast tray. Junho, Mir, Chansung, Lee Joon and the twins pulled up seats and seated if not across me next to me. Suzy sat to my right as Jia had set the platefuls of food on the dining table.Hyori: Dig in Yoona.. We can talk later.. You must be hungry.Minjun gave me a glass and asked me.Minjun: Juice, Coffee or Milk?He looked at me with a smile. I never felt this from the Parks in school. But now, well it's a bit new for me.Yoona: Juice please..I replied. Then the Park siblings filled my plate with food and I started to inhaled the food. I haven't eaten for a day.. well for weeks actually. I've stopped eating since I've tried to attack Taecyeon.Lee Joon: So Yoona.. What's up?Yoona: Uhh what?Lee Joon: Oh nothing.. Mianhaeyo.. I mean Mianhaeyo for well if I had thoughts of killing you.Yoona: Everybody doesn't see them anymore huh?I said and that caught everyone's attention. Chansung was exempted from the bunch but he got slapped in the back of his head by Wooyoung and what I said had finally reached his brain. Probably.Chansung; Yeah.. Well.. Yeah.. Mom, Wooyoung hyung slapped me!Hyori: Stop it you guys..She reprimanded her boys and then sat across me. But before she could speak up Jay oppa did. Whoa, Jay OPPA? Since when did I start thinking/narrating this way? Am I family now? Whoa.. I need to restrict myself really.Jay: Mom. I'm gonna bring this up to Taecyeon..I turned to Suzy and asked about the welfare of my lo- of Taecyeon. Whoa, what was I about to say?!Yoona: Is he still not okay? Why was he out then?Suzy looked up from her bowl of fruits and drank a few sips of mile before she replied.Suzy: He's okay now. But he's just milking it to get Jay oppa to serve him like a prince.She said smiling at me. Then Jia spoke up.Jia: Go on eating Yoona.. You need to eat.She said as if I really need to. And then I remembered I haven't thanked Mrs.Jung for the groceries she's sent us.Yoona: Oh.. Mrs Jung. Kamsahamnida.. For the groceries you've sent to my family.She looked at me and smiled. She had this motherly aura despite her sexy and beautiful appearance. How could she have had these children, all of them inside her? How, just how?!Hyori: You're welcome. Now first thing's first. How do I contact your parents?Yoona; I'd rather keep them out of this Mrs.Park please?Hyori: You've been gone for the night without them knowing how do you think they would feel?She said as if trying to scold me but obviously she wasn't. She just wanted me to tell my parents so they wouldn't worry. But they've gone on-Yoona: -a trip to Jeonju to fetch some more of our stuff back there.I said explaining to her that we didn't have to tell them that I've been gone cause they wouldn't even know.Yoona: And they won't be back for a week.Hyori: Okay then.. But I think it's better for you and your parents to have a very long talk..She motioned with her hands referring to her children, her house and referring to the events of last night and the events that's happened involving Taecyeon, his family and I for the past few days or the past week or whatever.I started to inhale food again as she motioned for me to continue eating.Hyori: I see you're healing well my dear.She said as I looked up and thought that it was a warning to mind my manners.Hyori: Oh no.. Don't take it the wrong way. It really is all part of the healing. Eating a lot. And in you and my son's case you should heal tomorrow night.She said reassuring me that I could slip off the manners for now. As I had finished eating I felt the exhaustion fall on me again. Hyori, Mrs.Park saw this on my face and instructed Wooyoung to carry me back up my room again.Yoona: Oh no I can..But before I could finish he had carried me back again like a kid. Suzy followed us as we went upstairs. But before we could proceed to my room I saw Jia walk into Taecyeon's and caught a glimpse of casts and several bandages on him on his topless body. Jay had gone in to bring more food for him and then I asked Suzy.Yoona: Is he really gonna be okay?I asked her as we walked past his room.Suzy: He is. Don't worry.I shrunk back in Wooyoung's body and said.Yoona: Sorry.Wooyoung: Don't be.Yooona: I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I was just scared and I started to run and then the flying.. I was just.. I knew I was different even when I was a kid. I always knew I was strange and.. I'm sorry..Suzy spoke up as she opened the door and Wooyoung walked me in. He put me up on the floor to stand on myself.Suzy: Nobody blames you.Suzy reassured me but it wasn't enough to settle down the guilt in me. I know that I've started this. Maybe even from the time I was born. I always knew as I grew up that I was not that girl who could just blend in.Yoona: You should do, everybody should. I started all this..I trailed off a little and then came back to my train of thoughts.Yoona: This all started when I attacked Taecyeon and I'm sorry really.Wooyoung: No this isn't all your fault.He opened the curtains more.Wooyoung: This war started thousands of years ago. Now get some sleep and don't worry about hyung too much.. Compared to other demigods he's tough..He closed the door as Suzy followed him out and left me in my room. As my head came in contact with the pillows I fell asleep.I woke up at night with a thin sheet of sickly sweat. I couldn't sleep. Something's bothering me. I felt my legs have started to heal and that I could walk steadily now but not for long. I wanted to test it and I wanted to talk to him.I swung my legs off the bed careful not to make a sound. I put pressure on one and checked the pain. It was painful bu bearable. I tried it on the other and I bear with it. I started to walk outside careful not to make a sound from the doorknob of my door, to stepping and walking outside and reaching his door.I cracked it a bit open to look at him. I saw him with his dark brown hair. His head tilted a bit to the side looking at the window. He must still be awake. His breathing doesn't look heavy yet and from the sides I could see his eyelashes move as he blinked.He's handsome. Like a chiseled masterpiece by his parents.I walked in and he looked at me and smiled. I smiled back at him and shifted the weight on my feet. I didn't know what he was smiling about but I smiled back at him biting the bottom of my lip a bit.Taecyeon: Hey there..He said a bit lovingly at me.Yoona: Hey.. May I come in?Taecyeon nodded in approval.Taeecyeon: You shouldn't have come here alone.. You've worn yourself out..He said worrying for my welfare and safety. He looks cute when he worries.Yoona: I was fine a second ago but I didn't think your room would be this far..I said. I didn't know really that it would be this far. Maybe because most of the time I've been here, I've been carried around by his siblings.Taecyeon: You can't stand long.. You should lie down.He motioned for me to lie down next to him. I complied and crawled under his sheets and felt the warmth of his body a few inches away from me. I looked at him as I lay on my side and so did her. He looked at me with longing eyes and I looked at his for answers. I realized this isn't what teenage boys and girls are supposed to do.As if reading my mind he smirked at me and said.Taecyeon: Don't worry.. I'm casted from the waist down.He said as I looked under the sheets and sure enough he had fresh new casts from his waist down. He must've broken the one from the morning he had caught me.Yoona: Sorry.. You know for everything..I said. My hear pounded faster than it was supposed to pound. He looked at me from the peripheral of his vision. He laughed a soft laugh and someone from the corner shifted weights. Jay. Taecyeon: Don't worry.. I'll mend..He leaned in closer to me. So close that I could feel his breath, his hot, warm, seductive breath on my philtrum. He was that close to me.Yoona; WIll you be okay though? You know.. Will you be able to fly and run and walk again.. ?I asked this to a demigod. And also one of my kind. I've found this out recently.Taecyeon: Yeah.. Good as new in the morning or tomorrow night. Same as you..Yoona: We're not the same.. We're not EVEN.Taecyeon: Oh yeah why?Yoona: You saved my life and I've put yours in danger.I said as I leaned a bit closer to him as we shared a smile.Yoona: I need to repay you and get even..I leaned in and inched a bit closer to him. All he had to do now was lean in to me closer too and we could share a kiss. A long passionate kiss like the one we shared in that one dream. Maybe we could share even more than just a kiss. Maybe we could-OMONA!What am I doing? Have I lost all of my self-control? I need to get a grip! I can't just.. His lips are just so inviting but I can't do this. This isn't right. We can't do this. Plus a handsome man like him must have a girlfriend already. From the looks of it he must've had the same realization as I. Except he must not think that I have a boyfriend. Not with this face of mine. Demi-god or not, I don't believe in my looks still.Taecyeon: Lie back down, Yoona. Rest.. We can talk in the morning.. TO BE CONTINUED...
