A/N: LOOK!!! LOOK!! CAN YOU SEE IT???!!! THIS IS WHAT MY MUSE DID TO ME!! AN UPDATE IN TWO DAYS GODDAMMIT!! YOU BETTER GO AND COMMENT OR ELSE...!!
"He is seriously going to kill us." Eunhyuk said quietly to Donghae, who just sat there, his face expressionless. Ryeowook was pacing around the small conference room, biting his fingernail nervously, while Sungmin was stradling Kyuhyun's lap, practically eating the younger one's face.
"Please, could you choose a bit more appropriate time to do that?! We are most likely going to get killed in the next ten minutes." Siwon asked, his face flustered as he had to sit just beside the pair.
"Mmm...Isn't this the most appropriate time to have a little bit fun? Sungmin, don't get hasty now." Kyuhyun said absentmindedly while licking Sungmin's bare neck heatedly, keeping Sungmin's hips in place when they tried to intensify the friction between their crotches. Sungmin moaned in frustration when he couldn't get what he wanted. Donghae and Eunhyuk rolled their eyes in unison and Siwon moved to sit further away from the couple, his face still flushed.
However, all the movement in the room ceased as the door opened and Leeteuk walked in, Heechul on his heels, face stone hard. The two eldest of the eleven males eyed at the group for a minute before Heechul opened his mouth, his voice surprisingly calm.
"Who screwed it up?"
You could have cut the silence in to small little pieces and put them to jam jars as Heechul's eyes scanned every face, no emotion on his strong features. Then something snapped in him.
"I ASKED WHO THE HELL SCREWED IT UP?!" The male yelled, his face twisting in rage as he still looked from face to face.
"Ryeowook." Heechul's voice dropped to a normal level as his eyes snapped to the second youngest in their rows.
The said male gulped nervously.
"Y-Yes?"
"Why the hell did you attack Lee Taemin?" Heechul's voice was now dangerously sweet as he walked slowly towards the delicate boy.
"I-I don't know what you..."
Everybody in the room flinched as Heechul's foot hit Ryeowook's stomach with force enough for Ryeowook to brake the chair he hit with his back. Leeteuk watched calmly as his fellow mate kept on beating the second youngest of their group. Siwon had turned his face to the other direction, the blood sickening him, but Sungmin and Kyuhyun were just calmly ingnoring the disturbance in the room, making out calmly while Donghae and Eunhyuk started to talk about something.
"Heechul, that's enough."
Heechul turned his crazed eyes immediately to the nearby corner of the room where one lithe figure came to view. He had dark, wise eyes with a certain edge to them, and his lips were full and soft. He would have looked almost innocent with his big, doe-like eyes, but the hardness in his eyes and his face made him glow with danger, a killing beauty. Heechul looked at the male with murderous intent in his eyes as he walked closer.
"Oh, you want to have your share as well Minho?!" The older boy spat to Minho's face, who just looked at Heechul calmly.
"You are being immature, hyung. Have you thought about the possibilities in here?" The dark brunette kept on going, and this time even Sungmin and Kyuhyun stopped their activities as they turned to look at their newest member with pure disbelief. Did that boy have a goddamn suicide wish?! Heechul chuckled lowly, poisonously even as his hand slowly circled around Minho's neck, their faces only inches from each other.
"Minho-dear...I really wouldn't like to lose you, because you are on hell of a good lay, but right now, I suggest to rethink what you are going to say. I'm in the mood to kill somebody, and you wouldn't want that, wouldn't you?" Heechul's voice was getting once again dangerously sweet as his fingers played with the outlines of Minho's mouth, the said male still expressionless.
"I'm sorry if I offended you, but immediately when Donghae's group told me about the events on the field, one little thought crossed my mind: Has Lee Taemin answered to the council president's sudden outburst? Because if the boy is going to reject the school president, there is our chance. You know what I mean." Minho's eyes locked to Heechul's brown orbs, where a little flash of understanding flicked alive.
Then the second oldest smirked.
"I knew what I was doing when I picked you up, Minho." Heechul let his hold on the younger male drop as he turned to look at the persons in the room, ignoring the coughing Ryeowook on the ground.
"We have a little change of plans. When I told you to get Taemin separated from that Jonghyun-dude, we are gonna still go with that plan, but with a little change in our way of proceeding." Heechul's smirk persisted as he scanned the ten other males in the room.
"I'm going to step fully to the spotlight, while you start to corrupt Taemin's mind. You understand what this means?" Heechul eyed the men once again, looking satisfied as he saw only matching grins and a little bit twisted smirk from Ryeowook.
"And when I say that I'm going to step to the spotlight, I'm saying it with full confidence, that you are going to back me up. You remember when you cornered our little kid in that secluded corridor?" Yesung grinned from ear to ear as he exchanged looks with Donghae and Eunhyuk.
"Oh, we remember that. I almost believed you when you said that you are going to take him to the nurse. " Eunhyuk said, emiting a huge burst of laughter from Heechul.
"Yeah, that was when this whole backing up idea came from, I need more of those kind of situations: push Lee Taemin to me, make him dependant to my existence, so dependant that Jonghyun is soon forgotten. There is our goal. You understand this?" Heechul's eyes scanned the room, and when he saw no objections from his mates he grinned.
"Off you go then. And Donghae." Heechul waited for the room to be almost fully empty before speaking to Donghae
"Keep your group in tact or you will be the one beaten next time." Heechul's tone was dangerously calm and Donghae nodded, afraid to open his mouth before almost running from the room. Heechul sighed heavily and turned to look out of the window.
"You know what you are doing, right?" Leeteuk's voice came quietly, but very clearly from the other side of the room and Heechul glanced at him briefly.
"What do you mean by that?" Heechul asked nonchalantly and Leeteuk strode to stand in front of Heechul, his whole being glowing with authority as he spoke.
"What if you are wrong abouth that new guy, Taemin? What if he isn't what you think he is? How are you going to cope with your own torture if the mission fails?" Leeteuk's voice was low and a bit threatening, but heechul smirked to him confidently as he ducked a bit closer to whisper to their real Leader's ear.
"...When has my metal ever betrayed you? Or when have my abilities betrayed me?" Heechul whispered quietly and bit gently at Leeteuk's earlobe. The said man kept his cold gaze on the younger male before turning around.
"Be sure to succeed in this, or I will get rid of you myself. There is too much at stake with your new plan." Leeteuk excused himself quietly leaving Heechul there, grinning to himself.
"Oh, and that's the fact that excites me the most..."
_____________________________________________
Taemin was still brushing his teeth.
He had locked himself in the bathroom for over half an hour, only to get the mental images out of his head. His gums were already bleeding, but the brunette just kept on brushing, his head seeming to be on replay as the same scene hit him again and again:
Jonghyun pressing his lips to Taemin's.
"Taemin? I seriously have to pee..." Jonghyun's pleading voice came from outside the door and the younger male just growled angrily.
"FUCK OFF! I should have punched you to your balls and not to your stomach, that way you wouldn't even need to pee, you goddamn ASSHOLE!!" Taemin yeled to the older male through the door, and Jonghyun sighed
"Come on! Don't act like a virgin and grow your own balls! It was just a KISS for god's sake...!"
"LIKE A VIR...?!" Taemin shouted and marched to swing the bathroom door open, his face burning with fury.
"WHO DO YOU CALL A VIRGIN?! How do you even know that I am a virgin?!" Taemin yelled to Jonghyun's face, and the older male just cocked his other eyebrow.
"Well, you kind of like confirmed it to me."
Taemin gaped once again like a fish on the land as he looked at Jonghyun's smug face, his train of thought going in circles and face starting to blush.
"You....You..." He stammered, but even his speaking ability seemed to disappear as Jonghyun suddenly inched his face closer, eyes glued to Taemin's scared ones.
"But you didn't even have to tell it to me, I could tell it only by your actons...the way you blush, the way you flinch away from my touch, the way you keep ignoring me, but not pushing me away..." Jonghyun's breath ghosted beside Taemin's ear and the younger one gulped loudly. His hands were starting to shake vigorously as the little puff of air hit Taemin's earlobe, and after a while, the brunette got a hold of himself.
"I'm going to sleep at Onew's place. I have had enough." The brunette walked past Jonghyun, who was this time left wordless.
"You are what?!" Jonghyun same to their shared bedroom, his face incredulous as he saw that the younger one was really packing his clothes to a small backpack. The brunette said nothing as he took his schoolbooks from the small bedside table and tucked them under his arm, taking the backpack too. Jonghyun however stopped him at their door.
"Whoawhoawhoa! Wait a bit and explain this to me! Why are you leaving?!" Jonghyun asked, completely confused. Taemin lifted his eyes to stare at the older male with no emotion.
"I'm leaving because I have had enough of you and your tries to harrass me. If you aren't going to leave, then I'll do that." Taemin left their dorm without another word, leaving Jonghyun standing in front of their entrance, completely dumbfounded.
____________________________________
Onew looked at his friend with worried eyes. Taemin had came down at his dorm, obviously angry and frustrated, and Onew had been more than glad to let him live there, but as the days went by, Onew realised that his friend was getting unhappier every minute he stayed there.
"...Maybe you should go to Jonghyun and apologize. You look so depressed..." Onew said three days after Taemin had appeared on his front door. They were sitting on the plush armchairs beside one big window, doing their homework and finally the older one had gained the courage to speak about Taemin's mourning. It took the brunette a while to answer.
"This isn't about Jonghyun..." The brunette said with a small voice. Onew ducked his brow a bit, his face saying 'Oh, I would believe you but I know you are lying.' Taemin sighed when he realised that Onew wasn't believing him and continued to do his math homework.
"Okay, this is partially about Jonghyun but there is something else too..."Taemin finally admitted and Onew stopped writing and looked at the younger brunette expectantly. Taemin laid his pencil on the flat surface of the table and turned his tired eyes to Onew's worried ones.
"Seun hasn't talked to me since the accident."
Onew's face went immediately from worried to even more worried.
"What?! Why haven't you told this to me earlier?!"Onew asked incredulously and Taemin looked confused.
"..I...I thought it wasn't such a big deal."
"Of COURSE it is!" onew stood up from the cair he had been sitting on and walked over to their shared kitchen to dig something from the smallest closet. After a while he came back with a small object in his hand. Taemin eyes at the thing suspiciously.
"Uhh...What is that?"
Onew took Taemin's arm to his big hand and inspected the veins closely, so closely that after a minute the younger male started to panic.
"...A-Am I sick or something?" Taemin asked nervously from Onew and to his relief, the older male shook his head.
"No, you are not sick, but your condition might turn in to one hell of a sickness if we won't do anything about it. That thing on the table. You see the little inset in it?" Onew motioned to the little piece of plastic and Taemin eyed him warily.
"Yeah? What is it for?" The brunette asked, still horribly nervous, and the older male put the object under Taemin's hand.
"When a normal, healthy Mana lets his metal out, not in a shape of a sword, but just lets it out, the amount is supposed to fill this little lacuna over here. It's the same with every Mana. And notice this, the amount is supposed to come out without any restraints. So don't force it." Onew explained and Taemin lifted his other brow questioningly.
"Okay? What's the point? That seems like a bit too easy..."Taemin said and Onew rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, it is an easy thing to do for a healthy Mana." Onew said and motioned the confused male to start. After a minute of calming down Taemin started to concentrate to his second blood circulation in his body, his metal veins where Mercury flowed like always. He let a little command to move the waves of the liquid metal and motioned the molecules to move out from his fingertips.
However, something wasn't right.
Taemin's breathing got very shallow and irregular while little droplets of sweat started to form on his forehead. The molecules were starting to freak out in the thin veind and Taemin's eyes flew open, his pupils dilating powerfully. Onew looked at the younger one in shock as Taemin tried to collect himself enough to speak.
After a couple of minutes of silence, Taemin had calmed down enough to speak with a feeble voice.
"Seun went crazy. He wouldn't listen to me...!" The brunette said quietly, his body feeling like he had ran a mile. He didn't notice the edge in his voice, which Onew noticed immediately. And he noticed something else too.
"Taemin, your eyes..." Onew inched closer to look to the brunette's eyes. Taemin looked panicked as he stood up and walked to the small bathroom to stand in front of a mirror. He gasped in horror.
"Why the hell are my eyes like this?! Why are they grey?!" Taemin yelled in panic and the older one just shook his head in disbelief. Onew had always been very good at curing the problems which consisted the metal blood circulation, but he had never seen anything like this. Taemin walked back to the bedroom, his face pale.
"...I need help with this. I sensed this already when I attacked that one guy from Super Junior..." Taemin said quietly and Onew scrunched his brows together.
"What do you mean by sensing this?" Taemin lifted his gaze to look to Onew's brown orbs.
"I lost contact with Seun completely. He went as he liked and I could do nothing about it. I have never...I have never, like....attacked anyone in my life..." Taemin's voice started to waver even more and more and Onew's face softened as he went and hugged Taemin gently.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure this is just temporary. Seun will come in contact with you soon." Onew said with his soothing voice and the brunette sighed heavily, biting at his lip. Then he suddenly lifted his head up and looked to Onew, face glowing with the sudden realisation.
"I know who could help me!"
________________________________
The shooting range was empty as usual when Nichkhun arrived there. He had already grown used to the fact that he was usually the only one, who even used the shooting area.
The brunette let Radün grow in his hands to the beautiful shape of an bow and took one arrow from a little case he carried around on his back. Nichkhun felt good as he pulled the bow string to touch his nose lightly, before letting it loose and wasn't surprised to see that it had hit the center of his target.
"You must be happy to be at the range again..." Nichkhun said quietly to Radün, and the metal hummed silently in his head.
"I'm happy because you are too. The stress has been pulling you down the past days."
Nichkhun sighed heavily as he pulled the next arrow from the case and aimed at the same yellow circle at the end of the range. He let his thoughts wander around and his mood dropped a bit as he remembered the huge pile of paperwork he had left undone. That was the one thing Nichkhun hated about being a teacher: the endless paperwork. He rarely even had the time to visit the shooting range at the school grounds.
Even though the brunette always concentrated to shooting with his every sense, still Nichkhun heard the footsteps a long time before they even arrived at the main door. The teacher knew immediately who it was, but decided to keep his nerves calm, because he had been expecting his visit for a while now. Radün tensed immediately as the person stepped in, and Nichkhun sighed, before turning around.
"If you don't use the shooting range, then get the hell away from here. This is not a place for people like you." Nichkhun's voice was quiet, gentle even, but the look in his eyes was something completely different: they were like solid stone, as they looked at his former lover with so much hate that a normal person would have left the range already.
But Minho couldn't feel a thing anymore.
"I see you still practise even though you are practically perfect in what you do." The slightly taller male said with a monotone voice, and Nichkhun's eyes narrowed.
"Well I have to be perfect in what I do so that I can someday shoot one of my precious arrows through your brain." The older male spat venomously and turned his attention back to his target at the end of the aisle. Minho, however, didn't even budge from the place he was standing at.
"Why do you hate me, when you know that I had no other options when I was hired to Super Junior?!" Minho suddenly asked with a frustrated voice and Nickhun nearly bursted out laughing.
"No choices?! No choices?! You could have stopped being a chickenwuss and confronted them like a real man, saying that you are not interested in killing people!" Nichkhun continued to aim at the small yellow circle, but Minho once again disturbed him.
"Was this all our love was worth?! I had to make a huge choice in here! I had two options: Keep us alive, or let both of us get killed. I chose the first alternative, even though I have to be separated from you and you decide to grow a grudge on me! NICHKHUN LOOK AT ME!" Minho had finally reached his limit, and Nichkhun lowered his bow slowly, before looking at his former lover with cold eyes.
"You didn't choose between keeping us both alive. You chose between your own succeeding and me. You had always been an egoist, Minho. Don't pretend that you had made so noble choices. Now, get out." Nichkhun said, with a stone hard voice, but Minho didn't move an inch from where he stood. He just eyed Nichkhun with a stubborn expression.
"Nichkhu..."
Minho was silenced when the older male's arrow was pointing straight to his forehead, his face completely collected and calm.
"Out. Now. Or I swear that I'm going to do it." Nichkhun's voice was getting more and more dangerous and Minho looked at his former lover for a minute, before backing up slowly, towards the main door.
"I want you to understand..."
"Nichkhun-hyung?"
The teacher's eyes flew immediately to the lithe male at the main door and he lowered his bow, but still keeping on eye at Minho, urging him to get out.
"Taemin? What brings you here?" Nichkhun's voice was now back to the normal, cheerful tone he had and the brunette at the door eyed at the pair suspiciously.
"...Is everything alright?" Taemin's eyes were now glued to his teacher's, trying to get the situation at hand. Nichkhun kept his composure and smiled gently.
"No, everything is alright. Minho was just leaving." The male's eyes flew to look at Minho menacingly, and the said boy finally saw it better to leave. Taemin let the Super Junior's member walk past him, before walking further to the range, his eyes a bit nervous.
"Uhh...Are you alright? The situation seemed a bit...tense..." Taemin's voice was unsure as he followed Nichkhun to the end of the range to get the arrows he had shot. The teacher's outer appearance had changed back to the collected calmness he always had when teaching and talking to people.
"Nah, everything is alright, just some former grudges, that's all. But, right now I'm more curious about your voice and your eyes." Nickhun turned to face the younger one, who just blinked in surprise.
"Oh, you noticed it. Well, that's why I am here in the first place..." Taemin explained the situation to his teacher while they made their way out of the shooting range and Nichkhun's brows furrowed when Taemin had explained his situation. They walked in silence for a long time, before Nichkhun finally spoke.
"You need to try to make a contact with Seun." The teacher said quietly and Taemin lifted his other eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"When you attacked that Super Junior's member, it was your metal trying to get out of your body. When you kept Seun outside in the form of a dragon, Seun never got the need to get out, becaue he already was out of your body. But when you had to keep him hidden, the mercury in your veins increased drastically, causing the sudden outburst. A little bit like when you eat too much and you get the need to vomit." Nichkhun explained camly and Taemin just stared at him, his face incredulous.
"...So, I get the need to vomit mercury when I don't let it outside of my body. But what about my voice, and my eyes?!" Nichkhun chuckled a bit to Taemin's choice of words before answering.
"That's just the mercury trying to get more space to spread around. It has affected your voice, because one mercury vein, that comes down from your brain, goes just beside your vocal cords and your eyes are grey because of that same vein. If you masturbated right now, your semen would probably be mercury too. That means you have too much metal in you right now, and that makes the flows very difficult to control." Nichkhun said nonchalantly and Taemin blushed a bit at the masturbation part.
"So, Uhhh....No sex then?" Taemin asked, trying to sound funny, and Nichkhun smirked.
"Well, If your libido allows it."
Taemin blushed at the last remark and they entered the school building in silence. When Nichkhun stopped to open the door to his office, Taemin remembered the question he had been trying to ask.
"What do I have to do to get the excess mercury out of me? I can't control it at all, so it's almost impossible to get it out." the brunette asked and Nichkhun looked contemplating for a minute before answering.
"Well, you can just keep on trying to get it out normally, because after a while, you start to grasp the control again, and that will be it." The older male said simply, but Taemin stopped him again.
"What if it doesn't work?" Taemin asked with a hidden edge in his voice and his teacher sighed.
"Well, there is one easier way around it too, but I don't think that you will do it." Taemin lifted his brows and Nichkhun opened the door fully before answering Taemin.
"Lock yourself in the bathroom for a while and masturbate the metal out of you." The older male said nonchalantly and closed the door quietly, leaving the brunette gaping there, his face burning.
"Seun, why are you making this so fucking difficult?!" Taemin whispered quietly to himself and strode off towards Onew's dorm.
_____________________________________________
Taemin's instincts were at overload as he walked along one of the main corridors to his Biology class. The brunette didn't know why, but every pair of eyes were glued to him, and he certainly didn't like the way he was stared. It was exactly like when Jonghyun had bullied him. He walked, trying to look calm, but thin layer of sweat was slowly starting to form on his pale skin as he realised that the looks he got really weren't very friendly.
Taemin almost laughed from relief when he got to his classroom and walked through the sea of desks and chairs to his place. He didn't see how everybody was looking at him, almost exact copies from the people at the corridor. The brunette just dug deeper to his backpack before finding his biology book and putting it on his desk.
Then he saw it.
Taemin felt how the shock from the sight almost knocked his feet from under him. His now normally brown eyes looked at the pictures and little pieces of texts scattered all around the desk and his eyes started to water.
First, somebody had gotten a snapshot of the incident between the brunette and Jonghyun on the field. Under it was a little title: FIRST SIGHT OF HIM WHORING AROUND
Taemin was almost scared to look at the next snapshot under it and his jaw fell: How was this even possible?! The picture was blurry and balck and white, but you could still clearly recognise Onew hugging Taemin in his dorm where they had been yesterday. Taemin's hands glenched to fists as he read the small, bolded titles:
TAEMIN: STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S FEELINGS AND GO TO HELL
LEAVE JONGHYUN ALONE
WHORE!
YOU LEFT JONGHYUN AFTER YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED. IS LEE JINKI YOUR NEXT TARGET?!
Taemin's eyes filled with tears as he looked all the insults written on the flat surface of his desk. A droplet of saltwater fell on the picture where Jonghyun kissed him and the brunette turned around and strode out of the classroom: He needed to get away. Anywhere was fine, he just needed to get out.
"Taemin! TAEMIN!"
Taemin turned around slightly to see who was calling out to him, only to start running as he realised that Jonghyun had seen him strode out of their classroom.
"Taemin! Why are you crying?!" Jonghyun had caught up with the younger one and gripped his wrist briskly. Taemin let out a heartbraking sob as he tried to wriggle his wrist away from Jonghyun's hold, but the older male kept the wrist in his hold, eyebrows scrunching together as he saw the despair in Taemin's eyes.
"Taemin, answer me! What happened?" Jonghyun's voice was calm, but still very strict as he looked to Taemin's watery eyes. However, the brunette looked in horror as a very pretty girl came to stand beside Jonghyun, her hand circling around the older male's waist.
"What's wrong, Jonghyun-Oppa?" She casted a scrutinizing gaze to the brunette in front of her and she just huffed mockingly.
"Isn't this the little whore you were talking about, Oppa?"
Taemin realised that everything he had relied upon was starting to collapse on him. Seun couldn't answer him, Jonghyun had left him completely alone, his school life was starting to head for hell once again. Taemin didn't say a word as he turned around and ran. He ignored Jonghyun's yells, he ignored the angry shouts as he bumped to about every person he passed. He just ran, the fear in his veins seeming to give his legs extra power as he finally reached his goal, the school courtyard nobody used anymore.
Taemin let his legs crumple under him, as the sobs shook his whole lithe frame. His thoughts were in a mess, only the horrible sentences from his desk screaming occasionally in his ears, making him sob even harder. The brunette didn't know the time, he didn't know the day, he didn't know anything else aside the horrible feeling that he was all alone in this world. That's why he almost yelled from shock as somebody called him with a sweet voice.
"Taemin-ah? Is that you?" Taemin looked in shock as Heechul came to view from behind the small bushes, a concerned expression on his face.
"Why are you crying here all alone?" The older male sounded shocked as he helped Taemin stand, the said male still letting out a occasional sob from between his lips. Heechul walked him to one of the benches at the corner of the courtyard while muttering soothing words to the brunette.
"W-Why A-are y-you -h-h-here?" Taemin managed to splutter out from between his lips and Heechul let a little smile tuck at the corners of his lips before wuping some of Taemin's tears away with his thumb.
"I got worried when you didn't show up to the biology class."
Taemin lifted his eyes to gaze at Heechul's face briefly and gulped down the huge sob in his throat. He was confused and finally he let out the question that had been bugging him from the beginning when he met Heechul.
"Why are you doing this?! Why are you trying to be friends with me after everything bad that goes around me?! You are just going to g-get into t-trouble" Taemin stuttered quietly from his mouth, but all his sobs and words died down as Heechul embraced him gently, making all his thoughts into a even bigger mess they were before.
"You know, I didn't meet all those stories when I met you. I met the gentle, bright and happy boy, who had a bit of a clumsy nature, but a caring nature. I met Lee Taemin, not some stupid rumours." Heechul said to Taemin's ear and the younger one felt how his eyes were filled again with tears.
Only this time they were tears of happiness as he hugged Heechul back, realising that he had one friend after all.
"T-Thank you Heechul-hyung" Taemin sobbed and buried his face to the older male's shoulder. Heechul smirked in mirth as he patted Taemin's back.
"You are welcome."
This was going to be a lot more easier Heechul had even thought.

"He is seriously going to kill us." Eunhyuk said quietly to Donghae, who just sat there, his face expressionless. Ryeowook was pacing around the small conference room, biting his fingernail nervously, while Sungmin was stradling Kyuhyun's lap, practically eating the younger one's face.
"Please, could you choose a bit more appropriate time to do that?! We are most likely going to get killed in the next ten minutes." Siwon asked, his face flustered as he had to sit just beside the pair.
"Mmm...Isn't this the most appropriate time to have a little bit fun? Sungmin, don't get hasty now." Kyuhyun said absentmindedly while licking Sungmin's bare neck heatedly, keeping Sungmin's hips in place when they tried to intensify the friction between their crotches. Sungmin moaned in frustration when he couldn't get what he wanted. Donghae and Eunhyuk rolled their eyes in unison and Siwon moved to sit further away from the couple, his face still flushed.
However, all the movement in the room ceased as the door opened and Leeteuk walked in, Heechul on his heels, face stone hard. The two eldest of the eleven males eyed at the group for a minute before Heechul opened his mouth, his voice surprisingly calm.
"Who screwed it up?"
You could have cut the silence in to small little pieces and put them to jam jars as Heechul's eyes scanned every face, no emotion on his strong features. Then something snapped in him.
"I ASKED WHO THE HELL SCREWED IT UP?!" The male yelled, his face twisting in rage as he still looked from face to face.
"Ryeowook." Heechul's voice dropped to a normal level as his eyes snapped to the second youngest in their rows.
The said male gulped nervously.
"Y-Yes?"
"Why the hell did you attack Lee Taemin?" Heechul's voice was now dangerously sweet as he walked slowly towards the delicate boy.
"I-I don't know what you..."
Everybody in the room flinched as Heechul's foot hit Ryeowook's stomach with force enough for Ryeowook to brake the chair he hit with his back. Leeteuk watched calmly as his fellow mate kept on beating the second youngest of their group. Siwon had turned his face to the other direction, the blood sickening him, but Sungmin and Kyuhyun were just calmly ingnoring the disturbance in the room, making out calmly while Donghae and Eunhyuk started to talk about something.
"Heechul, that's enough."
Heechul turned his crazed eyes immediately to the nearby corner of the room where one lithe figure came to view. He had dark, wise eyes with a certain edge to them, and his lips were full and soft. He would have looked almost innocent with his big, doe-like eyes, but the hardness in his eyes and his face made him glow with danger, a killing beauty. Heechul looked at the male with murderous intent in his eyes as he walked closer.
"Oh, you want to have your share as well Minho?!" The older boy spat to Minho's face, who just looked at Heechul calmly.
"You are being immature, hyung. Have you thought about the possibilities in here?" The dark brunette kept on going, and this time even Sungmin and Kyuhyun stopped their activities as they turned to look at their newest member with pure disbelief. Did that boy have a goddamn suicide wish?! Heechul chuckled lowly, poisonously even as his hand slowly circled around Minho's neck, their faces only inches from each other.
"Minho-dear...I really wouldn't like to lose you, because you are on hell of a good lay, but right now, I suggest to rethink what you are going to say. I'm in the mood to kill somebody, and you wouldn't want that, wouldn't you?" Heechul's voice was getting once again dangerously sweet as his fingers played with the outlines of Minho's mouth, the said male still expressionless.
"I'm sorry if I offended you, but immediately when Donghae's group told me about the events on the field, one little thought crossed my mind: Has Lee Taemin answered to the council president's sudden outburst? Because if the boy is going to reject the school president, there is our chance. You know what I mean." Minho's eyes locked to Heechul's brown orbs, where a little flash of understanding flicked alive.
Then the second oldest smirked.
"I knew what I was doing when I picked you up, Minho." Heechul let his hold on the younger male drop as he turned to look at the persons in the room, ignoring the coughing Ryeowook on the ground.
"We have a little change of plans. When I told you to get Taemin separated from that Jonghyun-dude, we are gonna still go with that plan, but with a little change in our way of proceeding." Heechul's smirk persisted as he scanned the ten other males in the room.
"I'm going to step fully to the spotlight, while you start to corrupt Taemin's mind. You understand what this means?" Heechul eyed the men once again, looking satisfied as he saw only matching grins and a little bit twisted smirk from Ryeowook.
"And when I say that I'm going to step to the spotlight, I'm saying it with full confidence, that you are going to back me up. You remember when you cornered our little kid in that secluded corridor?" Yesung grinned from ear to ear as he exchanged looks with Donghae and Eunhyuk.
"Oh, we remember that. I almost believed you when you said that you are going to take him to the nurse. " Eunhyuk said, emiting a huge burst of laughter from Heechul.
"Yeah, that was when this whole backing up idea came from, I need more of those kind of situations: push Lee Taemin to me, make him dependant to my existence, so dependant that Jonghyun is soon forgotten. There is our goal. You understand this?" Heechul's eyes scanned the room, and when he saw no objections from his mates he grinned.
"Off you go then. And Donghae." Heechul waited for the room to be almost fully empty before speaking to Donghae
"Keep your group in tact or you will be the one beaten next time." Heechul's tone was dangerously calm and Donghae nodded, afraid to open his mouth before almost running from the room. Heechul sighed heavily and turned to look out of the window.
"You know what you are doing, right?" Leeteuk's voice came quietly, but very clearly from the other side of the room and Heechul glanced at him briefly.
"What do you mean by that?" Heechul asked nonchalantly and Leeteuk strode to stand in front of Heechul, his whole being glowing with authority as he spoke.
"What if you are wrong abouth that new guy, Taemin? What if he isn't what you think he is? How are you going to cope with your own torture if the mission fails?" Leeteuk's voice was low and a bit threatening, but heechul smirked to him confidently as he ducked a bit closer to whisper to their real Leader's ear.
"...When has my metal ever betrayed you? Or when have my abilities betrayed me?" Heechul whispered quietly and bit gently at Leeteuk's earlobe. The said man kept his cold gaze on the younger male before turning around.
"Be sure to succeed in this, or I will get rid of you myself. There is too much at stake with your new plan." Leeteuk excused himself quietly leaving Heechul there, grinning to himself.
"Oh, and that's the fact that excites me the most..."
_____________________________________________
Taemin was still brushing his teeth.
He had locked himself in the bathroom for over half an hour, only to get the mental images out of his head. His gums were already bleeding, but the brunette just kept on brushing, his head seeming to be on replay as the same scene hit him again and again:
Jonghyun pressing his lips to Taemin's.
"Taemin? I seriously have to pee..." Jonghyun's pleading voice came from outside the door and the younger male just growled angrily.
"FUCK OFF! I should have punched you to your balls and not to your stomach, that way you wouldn't even need to pee, you goddamn ASSHOLE!!" Taemin yeled to the older male through the door, and Jonghyun sighed
"Come on! Don't act like a virgin and grow your own balls! It was just a KISS for god's sake...!"
"LIKE A VIR...?!" Taemin shouted and marched to swing the bathroom door open, his face burning with fury.
"WHO DO YOU CALL A VIRGIN?! How do you even know that I am a virgin?!" Taemin yelled to Jonghyun's face, and the older male just cocked his other eyebrow.
"Well, you kind of like confirmed it to me."
Taemin gaped once again like a fish on the land as he looked at Jonghyun's smug face, his train of thought going in circles and face starting to blush.
"You....You..." He stammered, but even his speaking ability seemed to disappear as Jonghyun suddenly inched his face closer, eyes glued to Taemin's scared ones.
"But you didn't even have to tell it to me, I could tell it only by your actons...the way you blush, the way you flinch away from my touch, the way you keep ignoring me, but not pushing me away..." Jonghyun's breath ghosted beside Taemin's ear and the younger one gulped loudly. His hands were starting to shake vigorously as the little puff of air hit Taemin's earlobe, and after a while, the brunette got a hold of himself.
"I'm going to sleep at Onew's place. I have had enough." The brunette walked past Jonghyun, who was this time left wordless.
"You are what?!" Jonghyun same to their shared bedroom, his face incredulous as he saw that the younger one was really packing his clothes to a small backpack. The brunette said nothing as he took his schoolbooks from the small bedside table and tucked them under his arm, taking the backpack too. Jonghyun however stopped him at their door.
"Whoawhoawhoa! Wait a bit and explain this to me! Why are you leaving?!" Jonghyun asked, completely confused. Taemin lifted his eyes to stare at the older male with no emotion.
"I'm leaving because I have had enough of you and your tries to harrass me. If you aren't going to leave, then I'll do that." Taemin left their dorm without another word, leaving Jonghyun standing in front of their entrance, completely dumbfounded.
____________________________________
Onew looked at his friend with worried eyes. Taemin had came down at his dorm, obviously angry and frustrated, and Onew had been more than glad to let him live there, but as the days went by, Onew realised that his friend was getting unhappier every minute he stayed there.
"...Maybe you should go to Jonghyun and apologize. You look so depressed..." Onew said three days after Taemin had appeared on his front door. They were sitting on the plush armchairs beside one big window, doing their homework and finally the older one had gained the courage to speak about Taemin's mourning. It took the brunette a while to answer.
"This isn't about Jonghyun..." The brunette said with a small voice. Onew ducked his brow a bit, his face saying 'Oh, I would believe you but I know you are lying.' Taemin sighed when he realised that Onew wasn't believing him and continued to do his math homework.
"Okay, this is partially about Jonghyun but there is something else too..."Taemin finally admitted and Onew stopped writing and looked at the younger brunette expectantly. Taemin laid his pencil on the flat surface of the table and turned his tired eyes to Onew's worried ones.
"Seun hasn't talked to me since the accident."
Onew's face went immediately from worried to even more worried.
"What?! Why haven't you told this to me earlier?!"Onew asked incredulously and Taemin looked confused.
"..I...I thought it wasn't such a big deal."
"Of COURSE it is!" onew stood up from the cair he had been sitting on and walked over to their shared kitchen to dig something from the smallest closet. After a while he came back with a small object in his hand. Taemin eyes at the thing suspiciously.
"Uhh...What is that?"
Onew took Taemin's arm to his big hand and inspected the veins closely, so closely that after a minute the younger male started to panic.
"...A-Am I sick or something?" Taemin asked nervously from Onew and to his relief, the older male shook his head.
"No, you are not sick, but your condition might turn in to one hell of a sickness if we won't do anything about it. That thing on the table. You see the little inset in it?" Onew motioned to the little piece of plastic and Taemin eyed him warily.
"Yeah? What is it for?" The brunette asked, still horribly nervous, and the older male put the object under Taemin's hand.
"When a normal, healthy Mana lets his metal out, not in a shape of a sword, but just lets it out, the amount is supposed to fill this little lacuna over here. It's the same with every Mana. And notice this, the amount is supposed to come out without any restraints. So don't force it." Onew explained and Taemin lifted his other brow questioningly.
"Okay? What's the point? That seems like a bit too easy..."Taemin said and Onew rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, it is an easy thing to do for a healthy Mana." Onew said and motioned the confused male to start. After a minute of calming down Taemin started to concentrate to his second blood circulation in his body, his metal veins where Mercury flowed like always. He let a little command to move the waves of the liquid metal and motioned the molecules to move out from his fingertips.
However, something wasn't right.
Taemin's breathing got very shallow and irregular while little droplets of sweat started to form on his forehead. The molecules were starting to freak out in the thin veind and Taemin's eyes flew open, his pupils dilating powerfully. Onew looked at the younger one in shock as Taemin tried to collect himself enough to speak.
After a couple of minutes of silence, Taemin had calmed down enough to speak with a feeble voice.
"Seun went crazy. He wouldn't listen to me...!" The brunette said quietly, his body feeling like he had ran a mile. He didn't notice the edge in his voice, which Onew noticed immediately. And he noticed something else too.
"Taemin, your eyes..." Onew inched closer to look to the brunette's eyes. Taemin looked panicked as he stood up and walked to the small bathroom to stand in front of a mirror. He gasped in horror.
"Why the hell are my eyes like this?! Why are they grey?!" Taemin yelled in panic and the older one just shook his head in disbelief. Onew had always been very good at curing the problems which consisted the metal blood circulation, but he had never seen anything like this. Taemin walked back to the bedroom, his face pale.
"...I need help with this. I sensed this already when I attacked that one guy from Super Junior..." Taemin said quietly and Onew scrunched his brows together.
"What do you mean by sensing this?" Taemin lifted his gaze to look to Onew's brown orbs.
"I lost contact with Seun completely. He went as he liked and I could do nothing about it. I have never...I have never, like....attacked anyone in my life..." Taemin's voice started to waver even more and more and Onew's face softened as he went and hugged Taemin gently.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure this is just temporary. Seun will come in contact with you soon." Onew said with his soothing voice and the brunette sighed heavily, biting at his lip. Then he suddenly lifted his head up and looked to Onew, face glowing with the sudden realisation.
"I know who could help me!"
________________________________
The shooting range was empty as usual when Nichkhun arrived there. He had already grown used to the fact that he was usually the only one, who even used the shooting area.
The brunette let Radün grow in his hands to the beautiful shape of an bow and took one arrow from a little case he carried around on his back. Nichkhun felt good as he pulled the bow string to touch his nose lightly, before letting it loose and wasn't surprised to see that it had hit the center of his target.
"You must be happy to be at the range again..." Nichkhun said quietly to Radün, and the metal hummed silently in his head.
"I'm happy because you are too. The stress has been pulling you down the past days."
Nichkhun sighed heavily as he pulled the next arrow from the case and aimed at the same yellow circle at the end of the range. He let his thoughts wander around and his mood dropped a bit as he remembered the huge pile of paperwork he had left undone. That was the one thing Nichkhun hated about being a teacher: the endless paperwork. He rarely even had the time to visit the shooting range at the school grounds.
Even though the brunette always concentrated to shooting with his every sense, still Nichkhun heard the footsteps a long time before they even arrived at the main door. The teacher knew immediately who it was, but decided to keep his nerves calm, because he had been expecting his visit for a while now. Radün tensed immediately as the person stepped in, and Nichkhun sighed, before turning around.
"If you don't use the shooting range, then get the hell away from here. This is not a place for people like you." Nichkhun's voice was quiet, gentle even, but the look in his eyes was something completely different: they were like solid stone, as they looked at his former lover with so much hate that a normal person would have left the range already.
But Minho couldn't feel a thing anymore.
"I see you still practise even though you are practically perfect in what you do." The slightly taller male said with a monotone voice, and Nichkhun's eyes narrowed.
"Well I have to be perfect in what I do so that I can someday shoot one of my precious arrows through your brain." The older male spat venomously and turned his attention back to his target at the end of the aisle. Minho, however, didn't even budge from the place he was standing at.
"Why do you hate me, when you know that I had no other options when I was hired to Super Junior?!" Minho suddenly asked with a frustrated voice and Nickhun nearly bursted out laughing.
"No choices?! No choices?! You could have stopped being a chickenwuss and confronted them like a real man, saying that you are not interested in killing people!" Nichkhun continued to aim at the small yellow circle, but Minho once again disturbed him.
"Was this all our love was worth?! I had to make a huge choice in here! I had two options: Keep us alive, or let both of us get killed. I chose the first alternative, even though I have to be separated from you and you decide to grow a grudge on me! NICHKHUN LOOK AT ME!" Minho had finally reached his limit, and Nichkhun lowered his bow slowly, before looking at his former lover with cold eyes.
"You didn't choose between keeping us both alive. You chose between your own succeeding and me. You had always been an egoist, Minho. Don't pretend that you had made so noble choices. Now, get out." Nichkhun said, with a stone hard voice, but Minho didn't move an inch from where he stood. He just eyed Nichkhun with a stubborn expression.
"Nichkhu..."
Minho was silenced when the older male's arrow was pointing straight to his forehead, his face completely collected and calm.
"Out. Now. Or I swear that I'm going to do it." Nichkhun's voice was getting more and more dangerous and Minho looked at his former lover for a minute, before backing up slowly, towards the main door.
"I want you to understand..."
"Nichkhun-hyung?"
The teacher's eyes flew immediately to the lithe male at the main door and he lowered his bow, but still keeping on eye at Minho, urging him to get out.
"Taemin? What brings you here?" Nichkhun's voice was now back to the normal, cheerful tone he had and the brunette at the door eyed at the pair suspiciously.
"...Is everything alright?" Taemin's eyes were now glued to his teacher's, trying to get the situation at hand. Nichkhun kept his composure and smiled gently.
"No, everything is alright. Minho was just leaving." The male's eyes flew to look at Minho menacingly, and the said boy finally saw it better to leave. Taemin let the Super Junior's member walk past him, before walking further to the range, his eyes a bit nervous.
"Uhh...Are you alright? The situation seemed a bit...tense..." Taemin's voice was unsure as he followed Nichkhun to the end of the range to get the arrows he had shot. The teacher's outer appearance had changed back to the collected calmness he always had when teaching and talking to people.
"Nah, everything is alright, just some former grudges, that's all. But, right now I'm more curious about your voice and your eyes." Nickhun turned to face the younger one, who just blinked in surprise.
"Oh, you noticed it. Well, that's why I am here in the first place..." Taemin explained the situation to his teacher while they made their way out of the shooting range and Nichkhun's brows furrowed when Taemin had explained his situation. They walked in silence for a long time, before Nichkhun finally spoke.
"You need to try to make a contact with Seun." The teacher said quietly and Taemin lifted his other eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"When you attacked that Super Junior's member, it was your metal trying to get out of your body. When you kept Seun outside in the form of a dragon, Seun never got the need to get out, becaue he already was out of your body. But when you had to keep him hidden, the mercury in your veins increased drastically, causing the sudden outburst. A little bit like when you eat too much and you get the need to vomit." Nichkhun explained camly and Taemin just stared at him, his face incredulous.
"...So, I get the need to vomit mercury when I don't let it outside of my body. But what about my voice, and my eyes?!" Nichkhun chuckled a bit to Taemin's choice of words before answering.
"That's just the mercury trying to get more space to spread around. It has affected your voice, because one mercury vein, that comes down from your brain, goes just beside your vocal cords and your eyes are grey because of that same vein. If you masturbated right now, your semen would probably be mercury too. That means you have too much metal in you right now, and that makes the flows very difficult to control." Nichkhun said nonchalantly and Taemin blushed a bit at the masturbation part.
"So, Uhhh....No sex then?" Taemin asked, trying to sound funny, and Nichkhun smirked.
"Well, If your libido allows it."
Taemin blushed at the last remark and they entered the school building in silence. When Nichkhun stopped to open the door to his office, Taemin remembered the question he had been trying to ask.
"What do I have to do to get the excess mercury out of me? I can't control it at all, so it's almost impossible to get it out." the brunette asked and Nichkhun looked contemplating for a minute before answering.
"Well, you can just keep on trying to get it out normally, because after a while, you start to grasp the control again, and that will be it." The older male said simply, but Taemin stopped him again.
"What if it doesn't work?" Taemin asked with a hidden edge in his voice and his teacher sighed.
"Well, there is one easier way around it too, but I don't think that you will do it." Taemin lifted his brows and Nichkhun opened the door fully before answering Taemin.
"Lock yourself in the bathroom for a while and masturbate the metal out of you." The older male said nonchalantly and closed the door quietly, leaving the brunette gaping there, his face burning.
"Seun, why are you making this so fucking difficult?!" Taemin whispered quietly to himself and strode off towards Onew's dorm.
_____________________________________________
Taemin's instincts were at overload as he walked along one of the main corridors to his Biology class. The brunette didn't know why, but every pair of eyes were glued to him, and he certainly didn't like the way he was stared. It was exactly like when Jonghyun had bullied him. He walked, trying to look calm, but thin layer of sweat was slowly starting to form on his pale skin as he realised that the looks he got really weren't very friendly.
Taemin almost laughed from relief when he got to his classroom and walked through the sea of desks and chairs to his place. He didn't see how everybody was looking at him, almost exact copies from the people at the corridor. The brunette just dug deeper to his backpack before finding his biology book and putting it on his desk.
Then he saw it.
Taemin felt how the shock from the sight almost knocked his feet from under him. His now normally brown eyes looked at the pictures and little pieces of texts scattered all around the desk and his eyes started to water.
First, somebody had gotten a snapshot of the incident between the brunette and Jonghyun on the field. Under it was a little title: FIRST SIGHT OF HIM WHORING AROUND
Taemin was almost scared to look at the next snapshot under it and his jaw fell: How was this even possible?! The picture was blurry and balck and white, but you could still clearly recognise Onew hugging Taemin in his dorm where they had been yesterday. Taemin's hands glenched to fists as he read the small, bolded titles:
TAEMIN: STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S FEELINGS AND GO TO HELL
LEAVE JONGHYUN ALONE
WHORE!
YOU LEFT JONGHYUN AFTER YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED. IS LEE JINKI YOUR NEXT TARGET?!
Taemin's eyes filled with tears as he looked all the insults written on the flat surface of his desk. A droplet of saltwater fell on the picture where Jonghyun kissed him and the brunette turned around and strode out of the classroom: He needed to get away. Anywhere was fine, he just needed to get out.
"Taemin! TAEMIN!"
Taemin turned around slightly to see who was calling out to him, only to start running as he realised that Jonghyun had seen him strode out of their classroom.
"Taemin! Why are you crying?!" Jonghyun had caught up with the younger one and gripped his wrist briskly. Taemin let out a heartbraking sob as he tried to wriggle his wrist away from Jonghyun's hold, but the older male kept the wrist in his hold, eyebrows scrunching together as he saw the despair in Taemin's eyes.
"Taemin, answer me! What happened?" Jonghyun's voice was calm, but still very strict as he looked to Taemin's watery eyes. However, the brunette looked in horror as a very pretty girl came to stand beside Jonghyun, her hand circling around the older male's waist.
"What's wrong, Jonghyun-Oppa?" She casted a scrutinizing gaze to the brunette in front of her and she just huffed mockingly.
"Isn't this the little whore you were talking about, Oppa?"
Taemin realised that everything he had relied upon was starting to collapse on him. Seun couldn't answer him, Jonghyun had left him completely alone, his school life was starting to head for hell once again. Taemin didn't say a word as he turned around and ran. He ignored Jonghyun's yells, he ignored the angry shouts as he bumped to about every person he passed. He just ran, the fear in his veins seeming to give his legs extra power as he finally reached his goal, the school courtyard nobody used anymore.
Taemin let his legs crumple under him, as the sobs shook his whole lithe frame. His thoughts were in a mess, only the horrible sentences from his desk screaming occasionally in his ears, making him sob even harder. The brunette didn't know the time, he didn't know the day, he didn't know anything else aside the horrible feeling that he was all alone in this world. That's why he almost yelled from shock as somebody called him with a sweet voice.
"Taemin-ah? Is that you?" Taemin looked in shock as Heechul came to view from behind the small bushes, a concerned expression on his face.
"Why are you crying here all alone?" The older male sounded shocked as he helped Taemin stand, the said male still letting out a occasional sob from between his lips. Heechul walked him to one of the benches at the corner of the courtyard while muttering soothing words to the brunette.
"W-Why A-are y-you -h-h-here?" Taemin managed to splutter out from between his lips and Heechul let a little smile tuck at the corners of his lips before wuping some of Taemin's tears away with his thumb.
"I got worried when you didn't show up to the biology class."
Taemin lifted his eyes to gaze at Heechul's face briefly and gulped down the huge sob in his throat. He was confused and finally he let out the question that had been bugging him from the beginning when he met Heechul.
"Why are you doing this?! Why are you trying to be friends with me after everything bad that goes around me?! You are just going to g-get into t-trouble" Taemin stuttered quietly from his mouth, but all his sobs and words died down as Heechul embraced him gently, making all his thoughts into a even bigger mess they were before.
"You know, I didn't meet all those stories when I met you. I met the gentle, bright and happy boy, who had a bit of a clumsy nature, but a caring nature. I met Lee Taemin, not some stupid rumours." Heechul said to Taemin's ear and the younger one felt how his eyes were filled again with tears.
Only this time they were tears of happiness as he hugged Heechul back, realising that he had one friend after all.
"T-Thank you Heechul-hyung" Taemin sobbed and buried his face to the older male's shoulder. Heechul smirked in mirth as he patted Taemin's back.
"You are welcome."
This was going to be a lot more easier Heechul had even thought.
