(Click here to read on AFF) Sungmin was most likely falling in love.
She wasn't one to readily admit her crush on the protective, slightly creepy superhero, but she was attracted just the same. There was just something about the hero's deep, sultry voice and tall muscular physique that made her turn into goo, melted her everything and took away her ability to concentrate on the simplest tasks. Just thinking of his soft lips and warm smile made the pink lover slip away into a realm of fantasy, where Strikey kissed her until she couldn't even function-
BAM!
“What the hell?! Watch where you're going!” An angry Heechul cursed as Sungmin fell atop him. Both struggled to get up, awkwardly trying to avoid one another as they pushed themselves off the ground. Heechul brushed himself off and flipped his hair angrily in contempt for what Sungmin had done.
“I swear to God, Sungmin.” The girl beneath him gulped as the dark-eyed brunette loomed over her, ready to begin a rant. “You're such an insolent brat. I mean, come on, you can't go a day without getting in my way. What the hell is your problem?” Heechul spat, words like hot flames burning Sungmin's ears. His arms were crossed and his long, slender fingers tapped against his forearm in impatience, waiting for Sungmin to respond. The teary-eyed girl only looked up at him
“I... I'm sorry... I don't mean to be such a bother...”
She sniffed and wiped her nose on her sleeve, barely audible- before beginning to wail louder than the sound of a thousand carbon dioxide detectors combined with the wild cry of a chimera.
Everyone in the library turned to look at the girl who was kneeling on the floor in a puffy pink dress, practically screaming bloody murder, hiccuping at the speed of light, tears streaming out of her eyes endlessly while a confused and awkward dark haired man flailed his hands about wildly in attempt to figure out what to say. Maybe he broke Sungmin.
“H-hey, no, don't- don't- don't do that...” Heechul said quietly, trying to get her to calm down, adversely making her cry even more, her nose running furiously, face an unnatural shade of Pepto-Bismol pink and reddening fists banging the thick tile in a very unladylike manner. Heechul tried to quiet her again, but was interrupted by vicious sounding clacks.
Sungmin whimpered like a kicked puppy and looked up.
“Oh no...” She whispered in horror. When Heechul turned he saw why and sniggered.
“You best get you and your whiny girlfriend out of here.” Said the school security officer, who of course happened to stroll by right when Heechul was in a compromising situation. Sungmin looked appalled.
“This monster is not my boyfriend!” She accused, pointing an angry finger at Heechul, who glared at her hotly.
“Yeah, I can do a lot better, obviously.” He smirked, twisting a lock of shiny hair around his finger. “And what the hell are you doing here anyway Kangin? Aren't you supposed to be getting with librarian Leeteuk in the back?” Kangin growled and slid a finger against his throat. Heechul flipped him off.
“Get out.”
“Fine. I was planning on forcing the exchange student to make me free coffee anyway. Come on Min, we're going.”
“What? We? No!”
Before she could protest, she was pulled up harshly and stumbled out of the library behind Heechul.
“You're such an insensitive jerk!” Sungmin cried as soon as they stepped out into the city street, Heechul covering her mouth and Sungmin clawing at his hand angrily.
“Give it a rest.” He replied, rolling his eyes. “You've cried more than enough for today, so shut up and accept my niceness, because it's pretty damn rare.”
Sure enough, when Heechul took his hand off she complied. He was thankful for that, because the wailing was annoying as hell. He was not thankful for the trail of snot on his arm. He shuddered.
Women.
So sensitive.
And gross.
As promised, Heechul did take them out for coffee, but he didn't manage to get any for free from the gorgeous exchange student Sungmin had seen earlier, whom she assumed was Heechul's girlfriend.
“So I seriously have to pay?” The girl nodded her head and giggled.
“Han Geng's out, so no freebies for you today.” She said with a cute accent. patting his head as he pouted.
“Damn it... thanks anyway Suogong... Khan... Suyong... Shaaaan.... Su-So-Se-Seng Xiaaaaan....” The girl looked confused before she laughed.
“Your Chinese is horrible Xi Che. Let's just stick with Victoria.” She smiled before handing a pumpkin latte to Sungmin and a white chocolate cappuccino to Heechul. He stuck out his tongue at her as they walked away from the cafe. “Nice meeting you Sungmin!” She waved, and Sungmin bashfully waved back, sipping on her latte.
“Waah,” She exclaimed happily. “It's like a piece of heaven!” Sungmin greedily gulped down as much as her throat could allow.
“Yeah, Oriental Blossoms is a pretty great cafe. And sexy foreign women like Victoria, Han Geng, Jessica and Zhou Mi are always a plus.” He chuckled as they sat at one of the cafe bar seats.
Sungmin closed her eyes in contentment at the warmth of the coffee, letting out little sounds of satisfaction. She was pleasantly surprised that Heechul was willing to take her out. He seemed to always be cold and unfeeling, always directing pointless anger at her. This was the first time Sungmin was able to be around him without him being a complete douchecanoe every ten seconds.
She was lost in the latte for a few minutes until she suddenly finished, disappointed at the lack of her treat. She hardly noticed that Heechul was sitting calmly next to her the whole time. They had been silent, but it somehow wasn't awkward. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and he caught her. Sungmin smiled at him.
“Thanks... I liked being able to go out for coffee. I haven't for a long time...” Sungmin said softly, wiping off some whipped cream from her cheek. “...and I'm sorry I made a scene back there... I'm not usually like that... it's just... things are hard...” She concluded timidly. Heechul looked surprised for a moment until he snorted with his typical sarcasm. Sungmin anticipated a snide remark, but Heechul gave a thoughtful reply.
“You know you don't have to thank me,” He said, hesitantly patting her on the back, sipping on the last of his coffee and eatinga biscuit he had ordered earlier. “I wasn't the nicest to you today... so I owed you one.”
Sungmin only looked at him while he finished eating, shocked that Heechul could actually be nice. Was this his way of apologizing? She tried to search him for any window into his feelings. He looked back at her.
“Listen, I know I'm attractive, but there's no reason to stare. Shouldn't want what you can't have, hun.” He smirked, flicking her on the head lightly before harshly tugging on his leather jacket and strolling out of the door, leaving Sungmin by herself.
Guess you can't get enjoy Heechul's good side for long.
“Kibummie! Wait!”
Great.
Psycho girl incoming.
Now, don't go getting the impression that Kibum doesn't like Donghae- because he does- it's just a matter of two things;
1: Kibum hasn't accepted it yet.
2: Donghae could be annoying as hell.
“What is it now, Donghae?” Kibum sighed with a slight smile, still looking at his book.
“Ohhhhmygosh Kibum, so you know how I was sososososossososooooo bored and had absolutely nothing to do after finishing my new aquarium for my goldfish and felt I had no purpose in life and decided to go to the mall yesterday, right?!”
“Right...”
“And so I went into this one store, and it was kinda sketchy looking from the outside so I wasn't sure if I wanted to go in, but then I did and there were like a bunch of clothes! They were like everywhere! And so I was like Ohhhhmygod! And I was just in awe! There were so many clothes! It was like fate! And so I just got my first paycheck from working at the aquarium you know?!”
“...”
“You know?!”
“Yep...”
“So I was like; “Why not buy more clothes, you know?!” And they had these super cute fish clothes, so I had a mini shopping spree! I spent so much money on myself! I am like my very own Prince Charming! But anyway, there were like backpacks and shoes and shorts and t-shirts and dresses and handbags! And you know how bad I needed a new bag!”
“...”
“Right?!”
“Right...”
“And so get this- five shirts, eight angelfish dresses, ten pairs of finned high heels- because I had to get one pair for each type of fish they had- thirteen Hawaiian coral fish themed headbands because they were soooo cute and they just had soooo many I couldn't even process, five coral scarves with super sparkly sequins and glitter and I mean there is sooooo much glitter, two pairs of gloves with like, super adorablle cartoon fish, five clown fish bags in purple, green, blue, black and white, two pairs of pufferfish leggings, and a new stingray cap to make up for the one I lost! I was so proud for buying them, because those are some great finds aren't they?!”
“...”
“Aren't they Bummie?!”
“Yeah...”
“And it gets even better, cuz guess how much it was?!”
“...”
“Guess how much it was, Bummie!”
“...How much was it, Donghae?” He commented offhandedly, nose in his book as they walked carefully out of class.
“Just $5,500! Isn't that a great deal?!” She beamed.
Kibum looked up.
His eyes were the biggest Donghae had ever seen them. That was weird. They looked all dilated like when he went to the optometrist. Dilation is a funny word. Dilation, dilation, dilation... who though of-
“...Five...thousand...five...hundred... dollars?” He asked slowly, shutting the book. Donghae nodded, ecstatic that Kibum seemed to be happy with something Donghae enjoyed so much. He looked so surprised!
“Yeah! And it was so much fun! And the shop guy was so nice too! Since I was the first one to come to his shop, he asked me if it was okay to modify the prices a little bit so I could get a special deal, and I said of course! He explained it to me and everything! He just did the regular stuff at first, like the addition and all that blah blah blah, then he like did that one math thing you know? He said that he would just divide by a decimal and it would take 10% off my purchase!”
“...He divided by a decimal?” He said quietly, looking at the closed book in his hand.
“Yeah!” This was great. Kibummie would be so proud, he loved math!
“Donghae...”
“Yes?” She chirped.
“You.
Are.
A.
Giant.
Idiot!”
Her smile faded.
“W-what?”
“He made your purchase ten times was it was supposed to be! Stay away from sketchy stores and stop being a dimwit!”
Donghae said nothing.
She then proceeded to cry.
And yell.
Why did women have to be so loud?!
“I'm sorry!” She screamed, the sound hitting Kibum's ears like a deafening screech of a dying cat (or a mating, dying cat...), drawing the attention of everyone in the hallway. “I may have done something stupid, but you don't have to lecture me all the time!”
“Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be that harsh about it... I just don't want you to get cheated out of your money and-”
“No you don't! You just think that it's stupid that I like fish and all of that stuff! You never take me seriously, but I have feelings to andifyouwouldjustunderstandhowIfeelmaybethenwewouldahahaasniiiiiiiiiiifffffIjustcan'tevensniiiiiiiifcoughcougheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeblahblahblahfishmetaphorsomethingaboutfeelingsyoujustdon'tunderstandwhenIsayIlovefiishesandyouthinkI'mcrazyforbelievinginaliensandlkhahsdgfghgsdghgajarghblahblahblahsomethingaboutclothesandapassionforfashionblahblahmydreamsashgjhgdfgobbledegook!”
“....What?”
“And now you're not even listening to me! I swear you're always ignoring me! We're supposed to be friends, but all you do is ignoremeeeeandyouneverapreciatemeeeeeeandItrybutyoudon'tevensniiiiiiiiiiif! Ijustwishthatyouwouldajyvbadvhabhablubilluityyyyyyyyblabbleblabblesnuuu!!! You are so stupid! IcannotevenbelievethatIeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeblahblahblahsomethingaboutherfishobsessionandaplatypusmetaphor!” She sobbed and turned quickly on her heel, walking away dejectedly.
“Not again... Donghae, I understand that you're upset, but you've been especially sensitive lately. Are you on your period?”
Apparently everyone was listening, because the hallway suddenly went silent.
Donghae stopped in her tracks.
Kibum heard whispers around them, and he thought they might be saying something like “Poor dude's done for,” or “He's in deep shit!” or “You never say that to a girl, Kibum. Never.”
Kibum had done it now.
“Did you just ask me... if I was on my period?”
“...”
“I said, did you just ask me if I was on my period!” It was sort of a battle cry now, and Kibum's eyes awkwardly darted around the corridor trying to find a way to get out of whatever he had managed to lock himself into. Donghae's crying was scary enough, he really didn't want to deal with the full extent of her anger.
:”I swear to God Kibum...” She pulled out a soccer ball from her backpack.
Kibum bolted out the nearest exit.
Why do women have to be so scary?
Hi!
Sorry for not updating! Hope you enjoyed the newest chapter!
If you read the first chapter before the recent update, I'm sorry to confuse you. I made this a gender switch fic, because I thought it fit the characters' roles better. Plus, I loooooove SJ gender switch fics, so I figured why not write one? I'm sorry I didn't think of this sooner and possibly confused you T^T
Thanks a bunch for reading!
