Summary: Jinki was living his life happily as a nerd when suddenly the unexpected happens and he has to move in to the city with his Uncle's family. He's sent to a boarding school full of wealthy students and Jinki wonders if a village kid like him would be able to cope with this new way of living. Well would he? Read to find out...
As soon as Yunho opens the large, imposed golden gate, Jinki couldn’t do anything but gape at the scene before him. Standing around of him were five well built men in security guard uniforms, blocking his view of the Academy. They were all bigger than a normal human, Jinki notices, both in size and height, looking almost like they are a different kind of species.
“Uhhm.....uhh.” Jinki starts. He has an urge to hide behind Yunho‘s back, who is standing next to him like this is all normal.
“You can let him in you know? He recently got accepted here” says Yunho in an attempt stop them from scaring Jinki too much.
They are still standing in the same position, not taking their eyes off Jinki, making it clear that they have no intention of moving whatsoever. Didn’t Yunho say that he is the Head of the House or something? Why are they not listening to him?
“Shouldn’t we call a teacher or something?” asks Jinki.
“A teacher isn’t exactly who we should call” says Yunho, causing Jinki to look at him questioningly.
“Jinki, you wait here. I’ll be right back okay? Don‘t worry they are not going to hurt you”
Jinki nods in reply as Yunho disappears into the same building from where they just came. It’s not that he is scared or anything because really, he is not. He might be a nerd but he do have some pride as a man as well . Jinki turns around to look at the five men again, standing there like five big rocks.
“Ehh…hi” Jinki says, flashing them one of his smiles. He is just trying to be nice.
He don’t know how to deal with these kind of people. Or well, people in general, but that’s not the point. All five of them looks at each other and then back to Jinki. Alright now that they have started moving, he is a bit scared. Actually a lot scared. Jinki feels like he is about to pee in his pants as their fierce eyes travel from his toe to head as though he is some alien form Mars. Their big paw-like hands reaches out to touch his body and he was almost sure he would faint but that’s when…
“What are you all doing?” He hears someone say from the back of the five men and Jinki could swear he saw fear in all five of their eyes as they quickly turns to who was behind them. But what caught Jinki’s attention was something else. His jaw dropped as the Academy came into view.
The school ground was enormous. Jinki was sure it would at least take about ten minutes of walking to get to the Academy building. Right at the central of the well manicured ground of the Academy was a huge, beautifully crafted water fountain. There were students everywhere. Boys in different colours and types of uniforms, chattering away with their friends. By the way they are dressed, it was evident that they were all from rich families. Jaejoong would be nothing compared to these students, Jinki thinks.
The most beautiful out of everything was the Academy building itself. The front side of the building resembled a Greek temple made of white and violet marbles and Jinki can’t find enough words to describe just how magnificent it looks. He just can’t seem to take his eyes off what is before him. Could this be heaven?
“Erhmm” Someone clearing their throat brings Jink back to reality. With his mouth still hanging open, Jinki’s eyes locks with some one else’s who is slightly taller than him. God he looks scary, Jinki thinks as he observes the boy’s face. This boy is also wearing the same black uniform the other two boys in the auditioning room were wearing. He sees how each of the five men starts bowing the scary faced boy.
“Good afternoon Master TOP”, they say together as they bow reminding Jinki of gorillas singing.
TOP? What kind of name is that? And Master? Jinki isn’t sure if he is meant to bow as well but he does so anyway, just in case. But the TOP guy ignores it completely.
“Who are you and why are you here?” Jinki lets out a squeak when he hears the boy’s voice, startled by how low and deep it sounds.
“I…uhh…I’m a new student here. Err…Yunho-shii told me to wait for him here because these big people weren’t letting me in” he points at the five men, enjoying the way all of their face turns pale like they just constipated as he puts the blame on them. They sure are scared of this boy. He must be someone big.
“Stop” TOP says cutting him off “You’re a new student?“ One side of his lips quirking upwards as if this is some kind of joke. “Who gave you admission here?” He asks, voice still dangerously husky and low.
The school?, Jinki was about to say.
“I did” A voice comes from Jinki’s back as all their eyes shift to that person. It’s the same guy from the auditioning room, the one who wasn‘t Leeteuk, standing next to Yunho, looking straight into TOP’s eyes.
“Yonghwa? Who gave you permission to do this?” TOP asks, his voice clearly annoyed.
“I asked Changmin hyung (2am) and he said yes. No one needs your permission Seunghyun” says Yonghwa, not the least bit bothered by the way TOP or Seunghyun or whoever it was, glaring at him.
“How come I didn’t know about it?” TOP says, groaning like an angry lion.
Yonghwa sighs and turns to Yunho. “Yunho, you can take him now. I need to deal with this one first”
Yunho nods and nudges Jinki lightly signalling to follow him. Jinki, who is not quite sure what is going on around him, simply does what he was told. He feels like some kind of puppet.
“So…uhh….what was that all about?”
Yunho smiles at him. “They’re brothers”
Jinki was about to ask why they were arguing about his admission but gets interrupted by three boys running towards them.
“HELLO YUNHO HYUNG!!!” All three of them enthusiastically greets Yunho. Their uniforms were the same as the one Yunho was wearing. Jinki assumed he will have the same uniform as them since he is in Yunho’s House as well.
“Hello little ones” Yunho smiles ruffling each of their hairs.
“We’re not little!! Hey hyung who’s this?” says one of them with the white blonde hair, pointing at Jinki.
“He is Jinki. Jinki, this is Yoseob, Jaejin and Dongho. You guys, Jinki hyung is a new student and he will be in our House so treat him well okay?”
“Yes” They say in unison and bows to Jinki, who bows back.
“You’re having your break right? If you don’t mind, could you go and find Lee Taemin for me. His History lesson should be over in about ten minutes. Tell him that I called him to the office.”
“Okay hyung. Bye Jinki hyung” They waves at them before running back inside the building.
Once they entered the Academy building, Yunho was covered by greetings from lots of other students. Wow, he must be really famous, Jinki thinks as he makes his way towards the office Yunho has just entered. The school hallways look awfully complicated. Jinki makes a mental note to ask Yunho for a map of the Academy in case if he gets lost or something, which he will for sure.
Yunho lets out a sigh of relief as he plops on the chair also beckoning Jinki to sit. The office is pretty big. On the wall there are pictures students singing, dancing, playing different types of instruments, and all that kind of thing. There is a huge bulletin board with Apollo written right in the middle of it in blue colour. There is also a shelf full of trophies and a set of musical instruments placed on the corner of the room.
“They’re newly ordered. The drums and guitars I mean.” Yunho says opening one of the drawers of his table and taking out two new sets of uniform as Jinki continues to look around the room.
“Here, these are your uniforms. Make sure you keep them clean okay? They do cost a lot you know?” Yunho hands them to Jinki.
“I don’t get it” says Jinki, taking the uniform from Yunho, “I don’t get any of this.”
Yunho looks at him and then sighs like he knows what Jinki is talking about. He opens his mouth to say something when the door burst open.
“Yunho hyuuung!! You called me?” says a cheery voice.
“Ah Taeminnie, come on in.” Yunho smiles at the boy.
Taemin is skinny and has feminine features. Jinki would have thought he was a girl with a flat chest if he didn’t already know he was a boy.
Taemin approaches Jinki carefully and tilts his head to the side. “Who’s this chubby guy?” He asks poking Jinki’s cheeks with his scrawny fingers. Jinki thinks it will be rude to slap away the other’s hands so he stands there dumbly, bearing all the pain.
“He is Lee Jinki, your new room mate.” Yunho answers and Taemin stops poking. (Jinki thanks all Gods up there because his cheeks were starting to get bright red)
“Really?” Taemin asks Yunho and then back to Jinki “Really?”
“Yeah. Jinki will be under your care from now on Taeminnie. You need to show him around the whole Academy and tell him about the stuff he needs to know.” Yunho looks at Taemin who nods like he understood the secret message behind Yunho’s words.
“Alright so that’s settled. Jinki, Taemin will now show you around okay? If you have any questions or problems or anything like that, you come to me.” Jinki nods.
“I have an important meeting right now so I need to go. Taemin you don’t have to go to the dance practice today. You will stay with Jinki.”
“Fiiine” Taemin says, pouting before taking Jinki’s arms in his. “C’mmon Jinki let’s go. Bye hyung”
“Bye. Oh wait you forgot your suitcases Jinki.” Yunho calls.
Jinki looks at his arm Taemin’s holding and wonders if he should tell him to let go so that he could go and get his suitcases. Taemin notices this and takes one of Jinki’s suitcases in his hands before Jinki could protest, still not letting go of Jinki. Isn’t this kind of gay? Jinki thinks embarrassingly.
As they walk through the school corridors, Jinki realises how popular Taemin is. He says hi to almost everyone he sees. All Jinki could do is awkwardly stand there fidgeting with his shirt sleeves when Taemin greets everyone. He doesn’t forget to introduce Jinki to his friends though.
“Hiya guys! This is my new friend Jinki” it’s how he introduce him.
“I’m your friend?” Jinki finally gathers some courage to ask, hoping that his question doesn’t sound rude.
Taemin turns around and smiles brightly at him. “Of course you are! Everyone is my friend” He says coolly like it’s the most obvious thing in the world, continuing to drag Jinki around the Academy. So I’ve made a friend huh? Jinki finds himself smiling,
Since Taemin is his first ever friend, Jinki thinks that they should have some kind of conversation instead of walking around the hallways holding each other’s arms like five year olds. He wants to ask Taemin about how the Academy works, who the people he met outside were, why weren’t they scared og Yunho but the other guys, why the students were wearing different uniforms and all the other questions he has been dying to ask from the moment he stepped his foot in SM. But it would be mean if starts bombarding his first ever friend with all his questions.
“You like chicken?” Jinki decides he should start from his favourite subject.
Taemin turns to look at him with a questioning expression on his face. “What?”
He repeats nervously. “Chi.. .chicken, you like?” Jinki realises he is just making a fool out of himself but hey, this is his first time he is trying to initiate a conversation to someone of his age. At least he is trying.
Taemin stared at him for another fifteen seconds before he replies smiling “Yeah I do. I like fried chicken the best”
Jinki’s eyes widen and he beams at him. “Me too!!”
What next?
Taemin finds it amusing how Jinki’s eyes sparkles when he talks about chicken so he quickly says before the silence could take over them again “But I don’t know why I never get fat even though I eat a hell lot of chicken” He says pouting and holding up his skinny arms for Jinki to see.
Jinki laughs at this and he has to admit, Taemin’s kind of really cute when he pouts. “That’s not my case though. I keep getting fat and chubby but I just can’t resist chicken.” He says puffing out his cheeks to emphasize his point, causing Taemin to laugh aloud.
“You’re funny. I like you”
“You think so?”
“Yup. Let’s go get some cakes and ice cream to celebrate our brand new friendship”
“But where do we get them from?”
“I can show some ageyo to the dinner lady in he cafeteria and she will give us loads of it for free”
“But what about my stuff?”
“We’ll take them with us.”
So when they finally makes it to their room, which is in an entirely different building by the way, high in sugar and ice cream on their faces and clothes, Jinki thinks it isn’t that bad to have a real friend after all.
He feels confused when he observes the room. Inside the room was…..two other rooms?
“How does this work?” He asks to Taemin who is still sugar high, giggling at the ceiling like a madman.
“Taemin” Still giggling. “Taemin-ah” It gets worse. “Lee Taemin!” That didn’t work either. So he does what he think is sensible. He takes a book from his suitcase and hits Taemin on the head. It seem to work though as Taemin stops giggling all of a sudden.
“Taemin -ah” Jinki calls worriedly, wondering if he hit too hard.
“Hmm?” The boy replies.
“Are you okay?” He asks feeling guilty for doing what he did.
“I’m fine Jinki. Why did you ask?” He asks innocently.
“No..nothing”
“Oh about the room arrangement Jinki, this room is divided into two as you can see, This side is yours and the other side is mine, There is a door between our rooms so we can go into each others side any time we want. But I don‘t think that will be necessary cause I‘m going to be in your room most of the time. The bathroom is on your side and the toilet is on my side”
“So basically we are living in separate rooms except for the fact that we have a door connecting them”
“And we’re sharing the bathroom and the toilet don’t forget that”
“Right.”
Silence falls upon them. Jinki feels like this is good moment for him to ask all those questions to Taemin. When he turns, what he sees is Taemin smiling at him creepily. Very creepily. Then there comes those giggles again. Jinki doesn’t hesitate to give him a good smack this time.
A/N : I really don’t know what to say to you guys . The thing is, whenever I plan a chapter I always think I could fit in Jonghyun’s grant entrance in it but when I starts writing it I just have a lot of things to write that I end up not being able to do it. So this one more time, please be kind enough to forgive me :s I’m such an idiot *smacks head on the wall* But at least Taemin is here now right? XD
Oh and btw, next time I might post the story guide as well with the chapter because I’m almost done with it now.
