Epilogue
[Changmin’s POV]
I ran in from the horrible pouring rain, holding my thin denim jacket over my head to avoid getting my shoes drenched. I apparently failed to realize that denim jackets held over your head have nothing to do whatsoever with your shoes. Stupid laws of physics… or something. I stood in the middle of the hallway, staring at my thoroughly soaked socks, wondering what I should do. I could take them off, but walking around barefoot would be awkward, and I didn’t think to bring extra socks. I sighed miserably. Guess I’m going to have to walk around with wet shoes all day. My life blows.
Someone somewhere called my name. I have such a cool name. Changmin. It’s just so freaking awesome. I turned to face the human being who knew my name. Yunho Hyung was waving casually in my direction. Why is he smiling so freakishly wide? Oh no! Jaejoong Hyung hasn’t confessed his eternal love for him! Yunho Hyung must’ve started to get sick of it and broke up with him! And now he’s trying to seduce me! NO! What do I do? What do I do? WHAT. DO. I. DO?!?!? Take a deep breath Min. You’re the supreme overlord of Awesome. You can do this. Act casual. “’Sup Yunho Hyung?” YES! Now, THAT’s what I’m talking about!
“It’s a beautiful day today isn’t it?” He smiled at me, raising his hand. Is he going to slap me? Is this some odd declaration of love? Oh, wait. It’s a high five. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I’m slowly going insane.
I glanced through the small window in the hallway at the dark threatening clouds. A slash of lightning split the sky and thunder rolled. I looked back at the smiling Yunho. What do I say? If I agree with him, he’ll think I’m playing along, and/or flirting with him, but if I disagree, he’ll think I want to start some kind of weather debate of love. This is so stressful! “Uh… ‘Kay?” Yes! Perfect vague answer! I’m such a genius.
“You’re so awesome!” Yunho Hyung tackle-hugged me and all I could do was stand there, and be completely and totally freaked out. How am I going to tell Jaejoong Hyung that the guy he’s in love with is trying to seduce me? Like my life wasn’t complicated enough! When did I become the universe’s matchmaker? When am I going to have someone to love? I guess I could go gay for Yunho Hyung. He is… sort of good looking… right? Junsu Hyung says he is… and not to tell Yoochun Hyung about it. Heechul says he’s hot. And Heechul is right about everything. I’m so lonely.
“Thank you… I try.” I patted him awkwardly on the back. I guess if I should go gay with anyone it should probably be Yunho. He’s the manliest, I guess. Maybe. But I don’t want to be gay.
“Yunho! Changmin!” Oh crap, it’s Jaejoong Hyung! He’s going to see Yunho making a move on me, and he’ll go in an eternal vendetta against me and try to kill me to death! NOOOO! I’m too young and attractive to die! I backed away from Yunho slowly, as Jaejoong approached us. Oh no, oh no. I’m going to die of jealous boyfriend rage! I’m going to die a virgin! I don’t want to die a virgin! Jaejoong Hyung leaned his head on Yunho’s shoulder and kissed his cheek. “Hey, Baby.”
‘Baby’? That’s a term of endearment right? But they’re not dating! Or are they? I don’t know anymore! My mind is all confused! “Give me a real kiss, Boo.” Boo? What the hell? Isn’t that the ghost in those Mario games? Yes, I’m pretty sure it is. Is Jaejoong Hyung DEAD? Oh no! He died and his ghost came back to haunt us all to death! Specifically me, since the love of his first life is hitting on me! NOOO! Great, now they’re making out. How am I supposed to know if Hyung is dead or not if his lips are attached to Yunho’s face? Do they have to make EVERYTHING difficult for me? I reached my finger towards Jaejoong and poked his arm. I sighed in relief when it didn’t go through his skin.
“Oh, good! You’re not dead. All is well.” I sighed happily.
“What?” Jaejoong raised an eyebrow at me detaching himself from Yunho Hyung’s face.
“Oh, nothing.” I smiled secretively. Hmm, Yunho Hyung has been staring at Jaejoong’s face for quite a while now. He probably wants to make-out again. Perv. Wait, since when do they make out in public? Oh… I guess they’re dating now… right? “Are you guys dating now?”
“Yes!” Yunho smiled his 60 bazillion megawatt smile at me. Great, now I’m wet AND blind. “We’ve been dating since last Wednesday. Aren’t we a hot couple?”
Ah. So Yunho was just freakishly happy, because he’s going out with Jaejoong now. I see. I’m actually a little disappointed. Huh. Maybe I’m bi or something. Whatever, my sexuality has always been pretty ambiguous anyway. “Yeah, sure.” I nodded. “So, where were you guys on Thursday… and Friday?” Come to think of it, I haven’t seen much of Jaejoong hyung since i used my superior intellect to make him realize how in love with Yunho he was. I really AM turning into the universe’s match-maker! WHYYYYYYY?!?!?
They shared a conspiring glance and started giggling stupidly. “Oh… we were busy.” Jaejoong Hyung giggled again.
Yunho wrapped an arm around his waist, and pulled him closer to his chest. “Really busy.” He smirked, biting Jaejoong Hyung’s ear. EW! They’re so in love it’s gross. I need to find myself a girlfriend before all this loneliness drives me crazy.
“Don’t look now, but Rain’s creeping around again.” Jaejoong glared at the puny lump of a man slinking sneakily behind us. Yunho joined him, and they were both consistently looking daggers at the poor beat up creature crawling furtively to his locker. Rain noticed them glaring and slunk a bit faster away. What a weirdo. Wasn’t he the one who dumped Jaejoong Hyung? Why is he still trying to go out with him?
My hyungs glared at the bane of their existence until he left. “So.” Yunho turned his head back towards me and smiled. “What’s up with you?”
“Oh nothing much, just walking through the dark lengthy miserable and solitary tunnel that is my existence.” I sighed sadly. Why is everyone I know perfectly matched with their soul-mates? I’m so lonesome.
Jaejoong blinked at me. “Are you still depressed about your miserable fail with Lee Sang Hee?” He laughed.
“It was NOT a miserable fail! I told you I was communicating with my EYES!” I groaned. Nobody understands my superior means of communication.
“Is that why they were bugging out of your skull?” He asked with a smirk and Yunho Hyung sniggered. I shot him a glare.
“Leave the boy alone. Talking to the person you like can be stressful.” Yunho smiled at me. HAH! Like I would forgive him with just that! I turned away from him with a huff.
“Is it stressful talking to me?” Jaejoong Hyung asked him. His voice went about two octaves higher. EWW. He’s acting so girly.
“No, but I don’t like you.” Yunho smiled. Ew… I can totally predict what’s coming next. Jaejoong Hyung pouted unhappily. “I love you.” I mouthed it as he said the words. I fake gagged at the gross cheesiness.
“Yunho, you’re even making Min sick with your CHEEEESEE!” Hyung laughed, smacking his boyfriend on the chest. Maybe I should stop hanging around with gay people, and make straight friends that can ACTUALLY help me get girls and stuff. “Alright, I’m going to class.” Jaejoong hyung informed us, glancing at his watch. “See you at lunch?” He smiled hopefully up at Yunho.
“Bet on it.” Yunho Hyung smirked, pulling his chin up and making out with him. Great. I wish I had someone to randomly make out with. Maybe I’ll just go practice on my arm like I did yesterday. Sigh. I just wish it would respond sometimes you know? “See you later Min.” He waved at me as he left, and I got the subliminal message that if he wasn’t in love with Jae Hyung he would totally do me. That made me feel better as I walked down my hallway of lonesomeness.
Anyway, I’m so tall sometimes I don’t see some of the shorter population. So it was really not my fault I walked into Chichi. “Changmin! STOP WALKING, DAMN YOU!” I looked around, wondering who was talking to me. “DOWN HERE YOU DOUCHE MONKEY!”
“Oh, hey Chichi-ah. I didn’t see you there.” I smiled politely at her. She could totally berserk at any moment so you have to be really nice to her all the time. “I apologize.” I added so she wouldn’t kick my shins.
“Whatever.” She tossed her bubble-gum pink hair over her shoulder, and stormed away. She’s such a tiny bitch. I glared at her over my shoulder as she walked away, shooting curses at her. One of them is supposed to make one boob be bigger than the other, but I’m not sure it works. The last person I used it on was my sister, and it’s not like I’m doing boob check-ups or anything… because ew.
I turned around to huff superiorly to class, and crashed into yet another unsurprisingly shorter person, except I didn’t mind this time, because it was a super-hot blonde girl. I gaped at Ms. Hottie hot hottie, and tried to articulate some kind of greeting, but all that came out was “Haaaaaaaaaaaaa… I…” That kind of sounds like a really long ‘hi’, right? RIGHT? It could be some kind of normal response to bumping into someone who doesn’t know you’re name, because you decided to communicate with your damn EYES!
If Ms. Perfect was freaked out by my freaking out, she didn’t show it. At all. But I deduced she was freaked out. “Hello.” Lee Sang Hee nodded expressionlessly. “Are you in the Yunjae club too?” She asked like it was a normal club for a perfectly straight and/or sexually ambiguous guy to join. She probably thinks I’m gay, since I hang out with those homos so much.
“Um… no. They’re just my friends.” Oh my BUDDHA! I just made a complete sentence! Without stuttering or anything like that! Wow… this is progress. Lee Sang Hee blinked. Oh no. That was the wrong thing to say wasn’t it? Maybe the only reason she was talking to me was because she thought I WAS in the stupid club. Dammit! Quick, think of something pro-gay to say. “They’re really made for each other, though.” Ew. I sound like some mushy girl who’s all about true love and all that crap. It was a good save though.
“Yes.” She nodded, and seemed to do something with her lips, but failed miserably. I’m going to say she was trying to smile.
“I set them up, you know.” I whispered conspiringly.
She looked up at me, with an extremely neutral expression that I shall interpret as awe. “Really?” Sang Hee (Yep, we’re on first name basis now) asked, without any inflections. “How?”
I shrugged nonchalantly, like it wasn’t incredibly long and arduous to convince stupid Jaejoong Hyung about something that should have been completely obvious to him. I was feeling pretty damn cool. “Yeah, I’m like the love doctor for those guys.” I boasted. I might as well take advantage of being the universe’s matchmaker.
“Wow.” She nodded vaguely. “You’re really smart… um?” I think she was wondering what my name was.
“Oh! I’m Changmin. Shim Changmin.” I told her.
“Changmin-ssi.” She did the trying to smile thing again. “It’s a cool name.” Wow. It’s like we share the same mind or something! Maybe we’re soul mates or something like that. “You should join our coupling club!” She said emotionlessly, but I guessed she was excited. Or maybe I’m just full of myself and she’s being sarcastic. She probably thinks I’m a total douchebag who walks around telling people he’s the love doctor. “I mean, if that’s something you’d be interested in. Are you gay?” I feel she was being shy, but then again I might be just insanely arrogant and full of myself. She might just be contemplating how much of an unattractive douchebag I am.
“No I’m not.” I knew people would start thinking I’m homo if I kept hanging out with the fag-gang. “Gay, I mean.”
“Oh.” She nodded. Her mouth twitched in a funny way. “Well, would you be interested in getting people together?”
I should say something witty and sexy, like “I’d be interested, in getting US together.”, but I would totally sound like Yunho in one of his vomit conversations with Jaejoong hyung. “Are you interested in that?” PERFECT! Sang Hee might think I’m an unattractive douche, but at least I’m an unattractive douche who cares about her interests. HAH! Score one for Shim Changmin!
“Yes, it’s one of my favourite things. I want to open a matchmaking company.” She looked vaguely into the distance. Sang Hee was probably seeing her awesome future in her mind. She’s so cool.
“That’s a pretty awesome dream.” I told her. Now I care about her interests AND I’m supportive. There’s no way she won’t fall in love with me. I won’t be alone anymore! I’m going to have someone to looove! My life is AWESOME! My shoes are still wet though.
“Thanks. You’re pretty cool.” Her head bobbed neutrally. She’s totally into me. “Can I have your cellphone number?”
Why does she want my phone number? Does she want to call me at late hours at night just so we can talk? Or maybe she just wants to give it to other people so that they can prank call me! GASP! “Um… Why? Are you going to prank-call me?”
An odd high pitched noise came out of her mouth, but her facial expression remained unchanged. “Of course not. I think you’re really cool, and fun. I want to be friends.”
OOOOOOOOH MY KARMAAA! She thinks I’m cool! And FUN! Oh Buddha, thank you so much for this opportunity. I shall cherish this moment forever! “Oh, alright then.” I picked up a pen out of my pocket. “Here.” I took her hand and wrote my number in her palm. Hihihihihihi, physical contaaact! She must think I’m drama-main-lead awesome. And that is the highest honour of awesome there is, except of course for supreme overlord of awesome, which is me.
Sang Hee made another odd high pitched noise before thanking me, and going off to her class. Wow. She’s so hot. I should get to class. Mrs. Han will so kill me if I’m late, and now that I have something to live for I should be EARLY!
I got to class about six seconds before the bell rang, and got an approving nod from the teacher. Class was so boring and uninteresting. My cellphone vibrated in my pocket, and I almost flew out of my seat. Is Sang Hee calling me now? Wait, it stopped vibrating, so it’s a text message. I pulled my phone discreetly out of my pocket, looking around quickly, in case someone was watching.
Hi! :P This is Sang Hee. Now U have my number 2 :D! We should be good friends <3
What’s with all the emoticons? Maybe she compensates for being expressionless by shoving as many emotions in her text as she can. I saved her number quickly, in case this was all an illusion, and the text was about to disappear. What do I answer? I have to be cool and suave, and write something like ‘I think we should be MORE than friends.’ But that’s so not me.
Hey back. That’s great. I hope we’ll be good friends. Is that good? No! It’s too boring. I erased the text and started over. Hey! I think we’ll be awesome friendz. AAH! Now, it looks like I’m trying too hard. How about: Awesome! U wanna hang out sometime? Okay… I guess this is fine. Right? I mean it’s not grammatically correct or anything, but it’s cool. RIGHT?!?
Sure :D! When r u free???
AHHH!!! Oh my DAMN! She wants to hang out with me! Is this going to fast? This feels like it’s going too fast. Do I want it to go this fast? I don’t know! Oh no. What do I do? What do I do? What do I dooooooooooo? Be cool Changmin. You can do this. Relax. I wish I was free, now. Class is soo boring =_=. And Send. Okay. This is not so bad. It’s pretty cool. It shows that I’m a cool slacker guy that can get good grades without even trying.
Hihihi, you’re funny.
She thinks I’m funny. R u free 2nite? I sent it. Am I coming on too strong? I don’t want to be coming on too strong! I stared at the phone, cold sweat running down the side of my forehead. Please don’t think I’m a jackass; please don’t think I’m a jack ass.
Yes. Do you want to do something ^_^?
Okay, it’s too late to back down now Changmin! Come on. You can do it! If u want 2… we could go have dinner… or something NO! Too indecisive! Do u want 2 have dinner with me? GAH! That sounds too much like I’m asking her out on a date! Am I? Oh my karma, I am! But I barely know her. But she’s so hot. But I don’t know if we have anything in common! But she’s so mysterious.
Like… a date? [*^_^*]
NO! Like dinner, between friends. No wait. AH! What do I say? What do I say? I wish Junsu or Jae Hyung were here to help me! WAIT! I can TEXT them! I’m such a genius.
I skimmed through my contacts, until Kim Jaejoong’s name popped up, and I typed quickly. Hyung! I’m having lady trouble! I think I asked Sang Hee out on a date, and she asked me if it was like a date, and I don’t know what to answer!!! There, that should make everything perfectly clear to him.
Hihihihi, our dongsaeng is growing up…
AH! What a douche bag! Cant u just HELP ME?!?!?!
Okay, but only cuz I’m so awesome. Junsu says hi. He answered back. I groaned. Why are all my friends so gay and annoying?
So what do I do? I urged them through text message.
Why is it taking them so abhorrently long to answer back? Sang Hee is waiting for my answer.
Tell her it’s a date if she wants it to be.
Oh my Buddha. Jaejoong Hyung is a genius. He actually understood my insane babbling, and gave me awesome guidance. I should ask him for advice more often. Thnk U Hyung! U’re the best.
I know.
Jerk. I flipped through the numbers quickly and answered Sang Hee, before she would get all worried about being rejected. I stared at the phone in my hand. What if she really doesn’t like me, and I’m annoying her with my sudden asking her out? Maybe her friend stole her phone and is texting me instead of her and I’m just getting all excited on my own for no reason. NOOO! What did I do to deserve this.
I think a date would be nice… [*^_^*]
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
HYUNG! SHE SAID A DATE WOULD BE NICE! SHE WANTS TO GO OUT WITH ME! WHAT DO I DOOO?
Well, she’s obviously INSANE. Drive her to the closest mental hospital.
HYUNG!!! D:<
R u txting me while ur talking 2 her? Cuz that’s just rude.
I groaned again. Jaejoong Hyung is so annoying. It’s almost not worth getting his awesome advice. I’m txting her hyung. TXTING.
EWWWWW! U txt asked her out? U SUCK!
What? I do NOT suck!
Junsu seconds the motion. U suck.
SHUT UP!
The conversation went on for the whole class and the next one. It was lunchtime before I realized that I hadn’t answered anything back to Sang Hee for the date comment. I hope she doesn’t think I’m some kind of forgetful jerk who asks girls out and forgets about them completely. Damn. I stared at the keys on my cellphone wondering what I should answer her with.
“Heeeeeeeyy Minnie.” Heechul Hyung popped up in front of me. “We’ve been hearing rumours about you recently.”
“We?”
Jaejoong Hyung’s head popped up behind him. “Yes, we.” Heechul and he shared a knowing smirk. Are they teaming up? I’ve never seen them team up before. I thought they were mortal enemies. What is this world coming to? “And we were wondering how you’re going on your date after being such an epic fail.”
“Oh, Minnie will be lonely until he dies.” Heechul fake-sobbed dramatically, laying his hand against his forehead.
“His fail will scare off all his potential mates. What can we do, Chulie?” Jaejoong cried, gesturing theatrically. “How do we help our dongsaeng?”
“I don’t know Joongie! There is no hope!” He mock fainted onto Jaejoong’s arms.
Hyung held him tightly in his arms. “NOOOOOOOOO!” He cried. Then they both burst into fits of laughter, high-fiving each other and doing a weird secret handshake.
“Oh, shut up! Why are you two drama queens bothering me? Don’t you have to fight each other or something?” I groaned, making shooing motions at them with my hands.
“Nooooo… silly Minnie.” Heechul slapped my arm lightly. “Joongie’s drama is over, so there’s really no point in not teaming up. Awesome teams like me and him cannot be separated.”
“Amen to that.” Jaejoong Hyung laughed.
“Changmin-ssi.”
Oh my damn, it’s Sang Hee. What do I do? I’m so nervous. I turned around very slowly, some kind of awkward smile plastered itself on my lips. “Hi, Sang Hee-ssi. How are you?”
“You didn’t answer my text message.” She stared blankly at me. In my head, she was pouting unhappily.
“Ah, I’m sorry. The teacher caught me and I couldn’t answer back.” I lied smoothly. It’s not BAD, I just didn’t want to hurt her feelings and tell her I forgot, okay? Maybe she doesn’t want to go with me anymore.
“That’s funny, because Joongie said-” I stabbed Heechul in the stomach before he could finish his sentence.
“I mean you were talking to- HEY!” I grabbed my hyung’s head, and held it down under my armpit, suffocating him.
“So, hahaha.” I held Jaejoong down, so he wouldn’t escape. He was squirming angrily under me, and I knew I would suffer for this later. “Are we still on for tonight?” I asked Sang Hee, smiling awkwardly.
“Yes.” She nodded. Her eyes changed a little. They were sparkling or something, it was weird. “Definitely.”
Wow… this is really happening. I’m getting a girlfriend. Oh my BUDDHA! This is great! I can’t wait to tell Jaejoong Hyung. Well, I guess he’s going to know since he’s right here. “Yeah, so I’ll pick you up at seven?”
“Sure! I’ll text you my address… so… um…” She leaned over, and I almost leaned back thinking she would slap me. But she wouldn’t do that, she just agreed to go out with me. So I just stood there, and she kissed me on the cheek. “See you tonight.” And she smiled. Like not an awkward lip twitch that I had to deduce was a smile, but a really teeth showing super gorgeous smile. Holy Fuck, I think I just died a little.
“Y… Y-yeah, see you.” I watched her walked away, stunned breathless. Wow…
“MMMPHHHH!!!!” Oh woops. I forgot Jaejoong Hyung.
I released him, and he punched me in the face. “OW! Hyung I have a date tonight! You can’t go around maiming my face!”
“You JERK! I could have died!” Jae Hyung started beating on my arm. “And have you ever heard of deodorant? GOD, you STIIINK.”
Heechul kicked me in the shin, and I hoped around on one foot in pain. “Ow…”
“And that’s for hitting me.” Heechul huffed, crossing his arms over his chest.
Jaejoong Hyung kept punching my arm. “Stop hitting me!” I pushed him away from me, and he huffed unhappily. “I’m sorry hyung!” I gave him a sorry hug, with my best puppy face.
“Fiiiine, I forgive you.” Jaejoong groaned, and ruffled my hair. “Idiot.”
I went over to do the same with Heechul, but he held his hands up. “No, don’t touch me. We’re cool.”
Then an awful daunting dreadful appalling fact dawned on me. “Oh no, Hyungs.” I gasped, and they both turned to look at me simultaneously. “I don’t know what to wear!”
They both smirked slowly. “This is why it’s good to have gay friends.” Heechul nodded, and they snickered evilly.
~~~
“I’m not wearing this.” I told them all, glaring at the mirror.
Yunho and Yoochun Hyung were dying of laughter in the corner of my room. They kept trying to calm themselves, but they would peek at me and start laughing their asses off all over again. Junsu was sitting on my bed, smiling freakishly wide, and biting his lower lip in an effort not to giggle. Heechul and Jaejoong were the only ones with straight faces. Even the ever so silent Siwon was having a hard time holding himself back.
“Come on, you look dashing.” Jaejoong hyung laughed. Liar.
“Hyung, it has FEATHERS!” I shouted at him, pointing at the atrocious white and pink fluffy things decorating my shoulders. “This is the ugliest suit in the history of ugly suits.”
“Do NOT diss the suit.” Heechul pointed threateningly at me. “This is perfect for you. It says “I’m straight, but I’m not afraid of being eccentric.”” He huffed, and the jackasses in the corner burst into another fit of laughter.
“No. It says “I’m gay, and I’m not afraid of pretending to be a colourful bird.”” I shouted back angrily. Yunho and Yoochun literally fell on the floor and started rolling around, holding onto their sides. “Can’t I just wear normal clothing? I mean it’s just dinner!”
“Just dinner? JUST DINNER?” Jaejoong exploded. “It’s not JUST dinner. It’s your first date! It’s the foundation of your whole relationship! One wrong move and-”
“Right, right.” I interrupted him. “But I’m not wearing this. Pick something else.” I pulled off the horrible jacket, and then started taking off the purple shirt. I started to say that I thought gay people had good taste, when I noticed the whole room had gotten quiet. Even Yunho and Yoochun had stopped laughing. I turned away from the mirror to see that they were all ogling me shamelessly. “STOP CHECKING ME OUT!” I slapped my hands over my chest. “YOU PERVERTS!” I ran into my closet, and shut the door behind me. I’ll change in here away from their prying eyes.
“He’s kind of hot.” Great, they’re discussing my body now.
“I’d do him.” Heechul said, his voice muffled by the door.
“I thought he was just tall… but I guess he’s been working out.” No, not Yoochun too! I should start making straight friends.
“Yeah… I mean yum.” Hah! I knew Yunho was totally into me. There was a slight pause and then, “Not as yum as you Jae… You’re the hottest… Oh, come ON! don’t look at me like that! You were checking him out too!” Jaejoong Hyung harrumphed.
“Your relationship has no trust.” Yoochun huffed superiorly. “See, Junsu’s not… Su… Su don’t cry! You’re the best looking one for me! I was just joking!”
“Oh yes… SOOO much trust.” Yunho laughed.
I picked the first decent jean and shirt combination I could find and walked out of the closet. “How’s this?” I asked them, spinning slowly on myself.
“Huh…” Jaejoong and Heechul held their chins thoughtfully. Junsu was already nodding in approval behind them. Siwon was sleeping on the floor. “I guess there’s hope for you after all.” Jaejoong nodded.
“Yeah… I think we might be a bit biased after your little show there, but that’s pretty decent.” Heechul agreed. “If you went shirtless, you might have more of a chance.” There was a general mumble of agreement.
“Yeah… I’ll take my chances.” I rolled my eyes.
Jaejoong Hyung fake sniffled. “Our little boy is growing up.” He leaned against Heechul who leaned back on him.
“This is the proudest moment of my life.” Heechul sobbed.
“Oh, shut up.” I groaned, and looked at my watch. “It’s 6:30!!! You’re stupid fussing made me late! Hyung I need the car keys.” Yunho got up reluctantly, and walked slowly towards me. He took a really long time to pull out the keys from his pocket, and stretching his hand out. I reached for the keys and he pulled his hand back. “Haha, just kidding.” He said humourlessly. I reached for the keys again. He let me touch them this time, but wouldn’t let go when I tried to take them. “Dude, I need the keys.” I tugged on them, but he wouldn’t let go. “Dude.”
“Be careful. If you scratch it I will kill you. I will hunt you down, tear your eyes out of your head and make you eat them.” He threatened in a low evil voice.
I blinked at him, and then nodded vigorously. He let go of the keys, but kept glaring menacingly at me. I turned away from him, thanking every deity in the world that I hadn’t crapped my pants. I’m never getting on Yunho Hyung’s bad side, that’s for sure.
~~~
I got home later that night, and they were all still camped out in my room. Jaejoong Hyung was sleeping on Yunho, his head lolling on his boyfriends shoulder. Yunho’s cheek was resting on Jae Hyung’s forehead. It was so cute. Siwon and Heechul were in my bed, and looked like they just fell asleep while they were making out. Gross. Yoochun was lying on my couch with Junsu on top of him, drooling a bit on Chun’s shirt. Ew.
“Okay, they’re all asleep.” I whispered as I guided Sang Hee into my room. “See, told you I’m the love doctor.”
Sang Hee did the odd high pitched noise that I came to recognize as a giggle. “Oh, hush. You barely did anything.” She said neutrally.
“Are you kidding? Who told Junsu to go to that party? Who slipped the invitation in Yoochun’s mailbox? Who paid the bartender to mix all those drinks?” I raised my eyebrows at her. “And who convinced Yunho and Jaejoong they were in love with each other?”
“Alright, I’m sorry. You’re an evil mastermind. I take my hat off to you… If I were wearing one.” She ‘giggled’ again, without changing her intonation.
I smiled proudly. “Come on. I’ll take you home.” I took her hand, and pulled her after me into the hallway. We walked out of the house, and I paused at the door to lock it. She waited for me on the porch, rocking back and forth on her heels. “How was your date?” I asked shyly, taking a bit longer than I should on locking my door.
“It was fun. How was your date?”
“Fun.” I turned to her and smiled. She blinked and looked down at her shoes. I should move in for the kiss. I walked slowly towards her, peering down at her flawless face. “I had a lot of fun.” I reached down and took her hands in mine.
“Me too.” She pushed herself up on her toes a bit too fast, and we knocked foreheads.
“Ow…” I laughed, rubbing my head.
“Sorry. Did I ruin the moment?” She looked up at me, and I guessed she was worried.
“No, silly.” My hand came up to hold her face, and I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers. I felt her arms wrap around my neck and I smiled slowly.
Hehehe… I am totally the Love Doctor.
