[M] Come in Smiling (1/1)

Chapter One: Come In Smiling Zelo’s POV                 I was running, running, running, and then I tripped. My arms broke my fall and I could just feel the cuts the hard concrete ground made. Paying no attention to the pain I pushed myself to my feet and continued to run. That’s all I have to do is run. I can’t stop. If I stop who knows what would happen. The pain would be way worse than any cut could ever make. I can’t let them catch me, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.                Then that’s when a bright light at the end of the stretched hall way appears to ‘turn on’ in a sense. This is new, a light? I’ve never seen one there before. It’s just supposed to be the same old dirty yellowing walls and dirt littered grey concrete. A silhouette appears, and no matter how fast I run I cannot catch up to the shadow to see who it is. All I know is that it is a man, and the aura around him is something I want to achieve. I want to get closer, just so I can be enveloped in the warmth his body is emitting. But I can’t, I can’t reach him. My legs move faster and I can feel my muscles straining themselves, but no matter how hard I try, or how hard I push myself I am nowhere near him.                 Tears begin to flow from my tear ducts, and I don’t even try and stop them. I will cry and cry and cry tell I can be in this figures presence. I feel like I NEED to be near him, just so that I can feel secure and achieve something as abstract as happiness.  “Ze…w..You…Zelo!”                My eyes snapped open and I found myself springing up and my body moved on its own so that I was now sitting flushed against the wall of my new room. My eyes were probably wide with shock and confusion; maybe I was even a little scared. My brain has yet to wake and I was unprepared for the reality I awoke into. “Whoa, whoa kiddo calm down.” I tensed and was about to run away as I felt a hand touch my shoulder, but as soon as his hand made contact with my bare shoulder I instantly came back down to earth. My vision came into focus and I turned to see my cousin Himchan sitting on the edge of my bed looking at me with worry. As all my senses were coming back to me I realized that I had tears streaming down my face…I was crying. And to make it even worse Himchan saw me cry. I don’t like people seeing me look weak. I cannot burden them with my own screwed up emotions.“It’s okay Zelo…you’re safe remember.” His voice was soft and full of care. It was such a dramatic change then what I’m use to I didn’t know how to correctly respond, instead I just quickly wiped away the tears and forced a smile.“I-I know cuz…I-I’m fine.” I lied through my smile. Don’t burden people Zelo. “Are you sure? You were crying, do you want to talk about it?” He asked as he slowly rubbed my shoulder, trying to comfort me.I shook my head no, and Himchan being Himchan understood that I don’t want to talk about it tell I’m ready. “Well then, it’s time…do you have everything packed?” He asked and I nodded my head yes. “Good, then let’s go eat some breakfast and then I’ll take you to your new home.” I crawled out of bed and straightened out the muscle shirt I wore. It was nice to be able to wear a shirt. As we walked into the kitchen, Himchan was telling me how I’m going to love living with his friend. It turns out that Himchan’s job as a CEO is hard work and that they are sending him overseas for a company job, and he said he doesn’t want to leave me alone for too long so now I have to go live with some high school buddy of his. “Alright dig in; you need to build up your strength.” Himchan said as he too began to eat his food. Licking my lips I was kind of hesitant and my eyes darted to Himchan to make sure it was really ok to eat this, and all he did was smile that soft smile of his and I dived into the pancakes.                I’ve been living with Himchan for a week now and I still feel like I’m back in that place and that Himchan is in league with my parents…I mean who would take a worthless kid like me in unless they had some hidden agenda. I was really weary at first, I didn’t want to eat or drink, instead I spent the whole day sleeping with one eye open. This all felt like a dream. None of this is real, I will wake up and be in that basement again on a lumpy cold mattress that has long since been worn living in fear of the next person to come down the stairs.“Earth to Zelo.” Pulling myself out of my thoughts I blushed as I realized Himchan was talking to me. “Are you ready?” He asked again. I nodded my head and he stood up taking both of our plates.                Well until he shows his true self I will try and be normal…if he really doesn’t have any hidden plans with me then I should be as kind to him as he is to me. Normal Zelo, be normal.  ~+~+~                 We were now in the car diving to his friend’s house, and my stomach is doing summersaults. And my thoughts were racing about what kind of person this guy is. I was scared, but I didn’t want to tell Himchan. He’s done a lot for me, new clothes, video games, a new life, and I have no right to let him know I am scared of his friend that I don’t even know. I need to just calm down…calm down and just think. If this guy is really bad, he can’t be as bad as what you’ve already experienced in your 17 years on this Earth, right?RIGHT, I’m going to be fine, because even if he is a horrible being I cannot burden Himchan. I will stick through this for him.                But then again there was this little feeling in the back of my heart that was telling me everything was going to be ok, and I felt inclined to trust it. Everything is going to be okay, I’m going to be okay. “We’re here!” Himchan said as he pulled the car in front of a large apartment complex.                 I swallowed a lump in my throat and just as I was about to get out of the car Himchan stopped me. “Um hold on Kiddo, let me go and tell him that you’re here so that he can clean up a little.”                I felt a little shocked, I thought this guy knew I was coming over today…I nodded my head and Himchan got out of the car and headed inside. Locking the doors out of fear of the strangers that walked by, I leaned back and began to play the new game Himchan bought me. Yongguk’s POV                 I groaned as I heard a knock on my door. I was in the middle of writing a new rap and I hate it when I’m interrupted. I was tempted to just let the person think nobody’s home, but the knocking didn’t stop. Sighing to myself I stood from my desk in the back room and made my way to the front door.                When I opened it, I couldn’t help but smile. “Hey Him channie.” I said pulling the other man into a short hug.“Hey man, I brought the kid.” Himchan got straight to the point as he allowed himself inside, and for a moment I was confused. What kid?                Then is clicked, todays the day…shit I forgot. I was on the verge of panicking, I didn’t clean up, or even stock the fridge for the poor kid. He’s a teenager right? Kids gotta’ eat.“Hey, calm down, haha.” Himchan said letting out one of his low chuckles, “I told the kid to wait in the car so that you could clean up real quick, and here for all his expenses.” Himchan took out a brown envelope from his back pocket. The thing was pretty thick and I was left wondering how that thing even fitted in his pocket.I felt my cheeks heat up that he told my new roommate that I practically forgot he was coming, but none the less I took the envelope. “Okay well you go get the kid and I’ll straighten up…take your time ok.” Turning on my heels I rushed into the living room where I quickly stuffed magazines and books onto the small bookshelf in the corner and tossed my CD’s onto my desk along with the envelope.                I pretty sure the kid wouldn’t mind too much that the place is a little dirty, but I still want it to look like a nice clean person lives here, i.e. me. Just as I was about done realization hit me…I left my porno’s out in the bed room. I heard a knock on the door. Porno’s first Yongguk! I scolded myself for leaving such scandalous things out, but then again I forgot I was even having company over. Ignoring the constant knocking I rushed into the bedroom and quickly stuffed the DVD’s under the bed, I’ll fully put them away later.                Running down the hall way I came to the front door, and before I opened it I released a long held breathe of air of nervousness. I hope the kid likes me to say the least. Opening the door the first face I saw was Himchan and behind him was the kid, but I couldn’t see his face dues to the huge duffle bag he carried. Pushing the door open fully I stepped to the side and allowed the two inside. I turned my body and closed the door, hearing them drop the luggage on the wood floor.  “There you go Zelo, told you one trip would be enough.” Himchan said. When I turned around I couldn’t stop myself from just looking at the kid. I know how this is going to sound, and I know for a fact that I’m not gay, but this kid was beautiful. He had soft looking blond hair and even softer brown eyes that held something that was too rough looking for a kids eyes to be holding. He has silky pale skin that looked smooth to the touch. I just have to admit that this kid is truly an angle. He’s even better looking than most girls I know. “Yeah I guess so.” The kid scratched the back of his head well smiling, and I must say that smile was something. Those plump pale pink lips curved up showing brilliant white teeth. His eyes would close adding to the cuteness of the action. I’ve never seen anyone with such an amazing smile before. I felt my heart skip a beat, but I would never admit that. “Well Zelo this is my friend Bang Yongguk, and Yongguk this is Choi Junhong, but he prefers to be called Zelo.” Himchan said as he stepped aside so that I can put my hand in the boys as he extended it towards me. As soon as my fingers touched that skin of his I felt a wave of electricity flow though me.“It’s nice to meet you.” His voice rolled through my ears like velvet. It was deep sure, but at the same time you can tell that he is still young and childlike.  It was like music to my ea- I stopped myself in mid-sentence as I finally realized what has been going through this retarded mind of mine. I felt so mad at myself, I can’t be checking this kid out, for one I have a girlfriend, two I’m not gay, and three he’s only 17. “Sa-same.” I forced a smile and released the kid’s hand. “Okay now that you guys are acquainted I need to go so I can catch my plain. I will call you guys in a couple of days and then I will try and come see you guys in a week.” Himchan side hugged me and said thanks and then went to Zelo. “Here’s your new phone kiddo, mine and Yongguk’s numbers are already in it, call me anytime okay?” Zelo took the phone and smiled nodding his head that he understood.“Okay see you later have fun.” He hugged Zelo and next thing I know he is out the door. I awkwardly smile at the kid; this is going to be one long week. ~CHAPTER END~ I hope everyone enjoyed the first chapter; I will rush the next one cuz I really feel like writing this one XDIf you guys could can you give me some constructive criticism, this is my first B.A.P fic after all.
