Chapter One (1/1)

"Jiho! Jiho!" Soomin yelled as she banged her fists onto the front door of the dark house. She had felt like she had been standing there for eternity. Her soft small knuckles started to crack and become rough. "Who's...Soomin,is that you?" Jiho's voice cracked as rubbed his closed eyes, you could tell he had been in a deep sleep. "Yoochun....he's fighting with mom and dad again." Soomin muttered,looking down at her feet. By now Jiho was more awake and alert. He stepped aside, letting Soomin inside and closed the door."I'm sorry for coming her at midnight...but I don't know where else to go..." Soomin said almost in a whisper."Don't worry, my parents are away anyways and Taewoon is passed out upstairs." Jiho said with a softened expression.'Okay,that's good." Soomin said and gave a small smile. They both sat on the couch in the living room,only surrounded by darkness and silence."So...I think you should sleep here, I don't want you getting hurt going back home." Jiho said awkwardly. "I guess I should,right? Who knows how bad my family's fighting has gone." Soomin said trailing off into thought."Don't worry,things will be better in the morning. But we should get some sleep now,I'll get you a blanket and pillow." Jiho said walking to the closet and tossed the blanket and pillow at her. "Can you sleep down here with me...?" Soomin asked shyly. Jiho lightly chuckled. "Of course." He said and laid down on the opposite couch. "Goodnight~" They both said in unison and drifted off to sleep. The next morning Jiho woke up to find the living room empty. He looked at the clock and saw that it was already noon. He didn't mind Soomin coming over his house late at night and he was quite used to it. He felt bad she had to go through all the trauma of her family members fighting and he couldn't do anything to help,but she always told him he did enough to help. This is all when the two are 13 years old.  Three years have passed. Soomin and Jiho are as close as ever. Things were all the same, even the fighting that went on at Soomin's house. "MOM, DAD I'M LEAVING NOW!" Soomin yelled up the stair case."Are you going to hang out with that Jiho kid AGAIN?" Her older brother,Yoochun teased."Maybe. Why don't you find some friends to hang out with?" Soomin said scowling."Shut up you brat!" Yoochun said and playfully flicked her forehead."OW. Asshole,whatever,goodbye!" Soomin said and slammed the door behind her as she walked out.  "Soomin over here!" Jiho yelled and waved his hand from the swing set. Soomin smiled and quickened her pace over to him. "How are you?" Jiho said pulling her in for a hug. "Pretty good~" Soomin smiled and hugged him back tighter. "Sooo, what should we do today?" Jiho said as he pulled away."We can go out for ice cream!" Soomin cheered and Jiho nodded. Since the ice cream shop was only a street down they got there in no time. "Can I get a banana soft serve with rainbow sprinkles and a twist soft serve?" Jiho ordered. Once they got their ice creams,they sat down outside at a picnic table. "So how are things at home...?" Jiho cautiously asked.Soomin shrugged, "Alright,better then usual though." She said."Well that's good,I'm glad." Jiho smiled and pat her head."Hey! I'm not a dog!" Soomin said pouting."Okay,okay! Just eat your damn banana ice cream!" Jiho said."And I shall." Soomin said happily taking a bite of her ice cream. The two of them sat at the table slowly eating their ice cream,and soon enough the sky had already turned an orangey-pink."Are you ready to go home?" Jiho asked. Soomin nodded and stood up,along with Jiho. "Thank you for the ice cream~" Soomin sang and hugged him smiling."Anytime,anytime." Jiho stated and gave her a bear hug causing Soomin to yelp."That hurt you jerk!" She yelled and wiggled her body under his strong grip."Aw I'm sorry I hurt you~" Jiho said as if talking to a toddler. Soomin just stuck her tongue out at him and turned away abruptly. "Hey Soomin?" Jiho asked as Somin turned around. "Wha-" He cut her off by placing his lips onto hers. She felt taken back but didn't take long to respond back by returning the kiss. After a few seconds they parted."Well...that was unexpected." Soomin said giving a small laugh. "I've been waiting a long time to do that,I'm sorry." Jiho said nervously laughing."Oh..." Was all Soomin said,then looked him straight in the eyes. "I like you." She said confidently."I figured." Jiho laughed."HEY don't make fun of me!" Soomin said facepalming."But... I like you too." Jiho said seriously this time."I figured~" Soomin said mockingly. Jiho just smiled and grabbed her hand in his own.They walked off in a peaceful silence. "Hey...are those fire trucks at my house?" Soomin asked as they got onto her street. "Let's go find out!" Jiho said and started running down the street followed by Soomin."Oh my God..." Soomin whispered once they got to her house. The house was up in complete flames and there was three fire trucks surrounding it trying to water down the fire."What...what happened?!" Soomin yelled and grabbed the closest fireman. "You must be the daughter who lives here...I'm very sorry but your parents were caught in this fire." The man said shaking his head."T-They're dead?" Soomin stuttered and stared at the scene before her."I'm afraid so. I'm very sorry." The man said while patting her shoulder."Where's my brother?! Is Yoochun in there?!" Soomin cried."Only your parents bodies were found in the house." The man said."I have to find Yoochun..." Soomin said ignoring the tears falling down her face.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Oh. My. Goodness.
