October 10/ HyunMi’s mindKibum really is good at art. I can see it in him. His potential is now putting itself in action, and he improves day by day. He’s mustered sketching already, that I have told him that I taught him sketching even though I wasn’t really good at it and was trying to conceal the fact. At first his reaction was blank, but then he laughed and felt some superiority over his master, but I somehow felt that he was silently praising me for my honesty. Well whatever. His laugh still annoyed me nonetheless. “Whoa. You’re here?” I looked up at him, surprised, as he entered my room.He frowned. “Actually, no. this is just a hologram of mine standing in front of you.”I laughed. “I mean—ah, what do you want to do today?”He plopped himself on the long couch and took out his phone. “Dear noodle-head, have I told you that I consider this room as one of my favorite hanging-out places? I consider this room as mine, too.”My brow arched. “And your point is?”He started punching the keys of his phone. “Ya know I’m just saying. Why don’t we eat? Go get some snack downstairs,” he intoned.“That is so un-gentlemanly of you,” I frowned.“Just hurry up,”I slapped my forehead, and went out of the room. “Unnie ~ where do we put the snacks here?” I called So Eul-unnie.“Right there in the cabinet above the sink, HyunMi. Some chips are there. But eat in moderation alright?” she replied.I nodded with the dark thought in mind, I AM GOING TO EAT AS MUCH AS I WANT AND YOU CAN’T STOP MEEEEEEE BUAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHI got a chair and stepped over it, my stool to reach the cabinet. “Uhh… I don’t think there are really chips…ah, here—“ I let my hand roam around in the darkness of the cabinet, trying to feel any plastic bag that would lead me to my food.Squeak!Whatever it was that my hand touched, furry, wet, and round, I didn’t care. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I touched the filthy animal, and well, you can guess what happened next—I fell from the chair. “OH MY GOSH IT’S A FREAKING RAT GET IT OFF OHMYGOD IT’S GONNA EAT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” I yelled, and next things I was saying were even incoherent to me. Then I realized—“Uh, miss? You’re okay now,” A deep male voice said; his face was blocking the light as I looked up.“HyunMi-ssi—oh, Dongwoon-ah! Good thing you caught her in time!” I heard Gikwang-oppa’s voice coming in the kitchen. I glanced to the direction of his voice, and I saw him, he was looking at the one who caught me. I followed his gaze and staring down at me was a handsome (and I mean handsome) face of bewildered but relieved expression.“Uhh, miss?” He called again, and that jarred me back to reality.I moved my left leg, which was dangling, and then my right, the only one that got caught by the pretty boy.  He was holding it tightly, and his warm hand was on my inner thigh. Really, really close to my thing.My inner thigh.My.Inner.Thigh. His.Hand.Was.Close.To.My.Thing. I jumped right out of his arms (goodness knows how I did it) and dashed to my room.  “KIBUM-AAAAH!” I cried out his name as I slammed open the door and he jumped out f his seat.“KIBUM-AH KIBUM-AH KIBUM-AH!!!!” I said his name over and over again, not knowing what else to say  besides that. He stood up and I crashed myself on his chest which made him make a slight “oof”.“Oi, what’s wrong? TELL ME!” he almost yelled, also upset, and surprised.“T-T-T-T-THE R-R-R-RAT… T-T-T-T-THE B-B-BOYYY…” I sobbed on his jacket bitterly, covering my face.He plucked me out of his chest and held me by the shoulders. “HEY TELL ME THE PROBLEM AND STOP POLLUTING MY JACKET! What’s the matter with you?” he demanded.“I—I—I w-w-was… hic. Getting food…and…hic…” I tried to explain, but I was too upset that I just screamed “OH GOD HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN TO ME THAT WAS SO EMBARASSING!!!” then went back to crying.“You were what?” Three knocks came on the door and popped his head in was Gikwang-oppa. “HyunMi-ssi…?” He gasped as he saw me crying. “YA WHAT’S WRONG? ARE YOU HURT? WHERE IS IT?” he inspected me, checked my ankles, arms, and legs, but he found no injury. He made a slight sigh of relief.“Hyung, what happened?” Kibum turned to him as he settled me on the chair.“She almost—well, she did fall out of the chair, but Dongwoon caught her. I still don’t know why she’s crying, though,” Oppa stated, as he knelt in front me, consoling me. “HyunMi-ssi, why did you cry?” he asked.“I…t-t-tried t-t-to…hic,” I started explaining myself again, between hics.Seeing my difficulty in speaking, oppa turned to Kibum and said. “Uh, Key, can you get HyunMi some water downstairs, please? So she can breathe,”With his worried face, eyebrows knitted, he went out the room to get me my water. *Key’s POV“Is HyunMi all right?” I glanced as this familiar voice called me.“Oh, Dongwoon, hi,” I greeted in a small voice. “She’s… not okay, actually,”“I have a hand in this. Can I go with you upstairs?” he said, and I nodded in permission.“What happened?” I asked as we travelled back to our—I mean, HyunMi’s room.“I was just in the kitchen because Gikwang-hyung asked me if I could get water. Then I saw her standing on the chair, getting something from the cabinet, and the next thing I knew she was falling from it and I caught her. She was in my arms… I was holding her…” he trailed off, and looked at his hand in silent horror as he realized something just now. I saw the color of his face all drained out at one moment, then turned scarlet at the next.I twisted open the knob and announced. “Noodle-head, here’s your water. And, oh, your savior is here too,” HyunMi turned red and covered her face with a pillow.“Hyung, did she explain to you what happened?” Dongwoon asked Gikwang-hyung.“She said it’s because of the rats…” Hyung replied, but his face was the expression of doubt, like HyunMi’s reason was lacking something.“Hyung, can I… have a moment with her? Alone? Please?” Dongwoon pleaded, and hyung nodded. He rose from his seat and took me by the wrist and we went out. Hyun Mi’s mind “H-h-hyumi-ssi…” Dongwoon stammered as he took a step closer to me.I ignored him and covered my face with a pillow.I heard a thump on the floor next to my foot, and I let my eyes take a peek down on it, only to see his handsome face looking up at me, “SORRY” almost written all over it.“If there’s anything I…” he scratched his head, finding the right words to say. “I… I didn’t mean to—aish,” he snorted in exasperation. “Just… I’m sorry. Please. Accept my apology, I didn’t mean to touch it… you know,”I removed the pillow off my face and looked down at him, trying my hardest not to blush. “You…”He bowed his head. “Please just hit me. That way it’ll be a relief for both of us.”I looked at the back of his hair, of jet-black color boy-cut. “I…” then I made a gesture on it which made him look up.“Eh? HyunMi-ssi?”“Like I’d really benefit something if I hit you on the head. Stand up, it’s dirty on the floor.” I smiled, as I continued ruffling his hair.“You… don’t hate me?”I shook my head, still smiling. “No, I was just upset that I got touched…there. But never mind that, I’ll be more careful next time.”He slowly stood up, his mouth still agape in shock because I didn’t hit and hate him. How could I hit such a handsome face? An hour later/ Key’s mind“You’re leaving?” HyunMi looked at Dongwoon as he and Gikwang-hyung stood up.“Ne, dance practice, you can say,” he answered in a friendly manner.We stood up, and we went with them to the door. “You’re partner has really nice eye-smile,” Dongwoon whispered to my ear after he tapped my shoulder twice. “Send her my compliments.”“We’ll be going! You sure you’re okay now, HyunMi-ssi?” Gikwang-hyung smiled at her. HyunMi and Dongwoon locked eyes and they laughed as if they shared a private joke.“Yes, oppa,” HyunMi answered.They were about to exit the door when HyunMi said, “Ah, Dongwoon…”“Hmm?” HyunMi threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Damn, Dongwoon blushed. “Thank you…for saving my life,” she said to him, just enough for all of us to hear.“Yeee~” Gikwang-hyung made a squeal which he got elbowed by So Eul-noona as a reward. As they went out, I saw HyunMi smiling and waving at them, her eye-smile showing. Why, what Dongwoon said did have some truth in it. I felt this funny feeling in my stomach as I looked at her, and this tight feeling in my chest as the scene of her hugging Dongwoon kept replaying in my head. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I DID AN UPDATE ON MY BIRTHDAY !!!
