Either Side Of Midnight (Chapter 1)
"Just do it Cho Kyuhyun,"
I ignored him yet again, choosing to instead concentrate on my Starcraft. I could feel the glares from different parties boring holes onto my back. But what did I care? I'm Cho Kyuhyun. Yes Cho Kyuhyun the singing prodigy. If I don't own the world, then who else does?
"Kyuhyunnie~ please..." Ryeowook tried to convince me. Usually, I would listen to him, but not today. Today, I just wanted to prove to everyone that I listen to no one, except for myself, and maybe starcraft.
"No..hyung , let me concentrate on my starcraft will you?" I decided to add the 'hyung' since, well he was always nice to me so why not return the favour? At least he wasn't as quiet as the other one, who doesn't say anything other than the lyrics he's singing.
"Baby...Evil Kyu..." he tried again.
"I'll buy you the next limited edition starcraft game or whatever the shit it is you're playing. Just do it,okay?!" the silent one finally spoke up. That caught my attention.I paused the game I was playing and turned to Yesung sitting on the couch.
"Really Hyung ? They are really expensive you know? But while you're at it, get me a new keyboard too..Mine is lagging. I heard that there's a new one that can help me play with twice the accuracy," I decided to push my luck.
"Yeah, whatever~" he rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I agree to this. But if I don't get them soon, Hyung, I'll kick him out of the house immediately," I finally said.
Ryeowook squealed and jumped onto the the couch hugging, or rather suffocating the poor boy. Yesung made some gagging sound, and tried to push Ryeowook, calling him somewhere along the line of 'irritating' and 'girly' but from the corner of my eyes, I could see his lips curving upwards.
I turned back to my game. I will so regret what I was getting myself into.
~~
"He'll be here any minute now," Ryeowook said for the hundredth time, "Remember all your lines?" I just grumbled while Yesung took the extra effort to nod his head. I had planned out everything. Obviously,I wasn't going to let him stay without giving a really memorable first impression right? I wouldn't be called Evil Maknae for nothing. Thankfully the other two agreed.
I reached out for the file.
Lee Sungmin. Seventeen Years Old. High School Student. Loves Piano, History and Pink. I took one look at the photo attached to his file. Well obviously, a nerd. I wonder how they could have left that out in his description.
"Okay guys, he's reaching in approximately three mins," the PD shouted from the back. Internally I groaned. I was so not looking forward to having a total stranger, a loser living in the same house as me.
Ding Dong...Ding Dong...
One of the crew members opened the door and invited whoever that was outside in, while the three of us just sat on the couch, mentally preparing for our little show. Make that the two of them. I was just stoning and wishing that the nerd would pee in his pants, intimidated by us and then never come back again.
What I didn't expect was, instead of a nerd standing in front of us, we were greeted by a , well not nerd. My eyes widened slightly. The boy standing in front of us was well very short but he had a nice built. Not too muscular, nor too thin. He was wearing a white shirt, with a striped cardigan over and skinny jeans. Lazily casual but definitely something I could see in magazines. The only thing I wasn't comfortable with his appearance, was his fringe. It was dangerously covering most of his right eye. I glanced over at the picture on the file again. Either this boy has good photoshop skills, or he went for overnight make-over. Either way, I was impressed, but of course, the great Kyuhyun will never say it out loud.
He placed his luggage beside him, still standing in front of us. I was certain that he was unsure of what to do. There were no other seats other than the couch, but obviously the three of us purposefully occupied the whole area. Of course, sitting on the floor without an invitation would be considered rude too. The production crew filming every single of his moves didn't help much either. He took a good look at us. I could see his expression suddenly change, before turning to the PD.
"SUPER JUNIOR K.R.Y?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You told me I was doing some reality show!" he said. His voice was high, not as high as a girl's but definitely higher than mine or Yesung's. It would be about Ryeowook's range. I briefly wondered if this boy could sing as well as Ryeowook then.
"Yeah reality show, living with them..." the PD replied uninterestedly. The Sungmin boy's eye widened at the revelation. I could see him beginning to frown. As if on cue, Ryeowook started,
"You're late,"
"What.. I was told to come at 10 pm, it's only 9.40 now," the boy answered checking his watch again.
"Whatever, next time you better be earlier," Yesung finally spoke up.
"Does he really have to live here?" I said my line to the PD , who nodded a bit to convincingly.
"Urgh, I can't believe we have to do this!" I continued
"I know right! What the hell do we need him for? He'll just be a hindrance to our schedules," Ryeowook agreed.
"So true..Ahh whatever guys, we can just ignore him,like we're doing now," Yesung added.
"What? You think I want to be here?! God, you people are the most arrogant cows I've ever met. Stupid idol syndrome. Urgh!"
All three of us stopped our conversation abruptly and turned to him. He put his hands in his pocket and took out his Iphone.
"Hyung, can I crash tonight? Yes.. no .. long story.. okay i'll cab there. Sorry for disturbing you," he said into the phone as he dragged his luggage towards the door. The three of us left on the couch looked at each other, trying to force one another to bring the kid back.
Finally, Ryeowook looked at me and said,
"You go, it was your idea anyway!"
Yesung was more than happy to agree, and after being pushed off the couch I grudgingly dragged myself after the boy.Luckily, he was still at the door. Must be hard wearing those shoes, I eyed his high cuts.
"Hey..chill"
He ignored me and continued to walk.
"Hey..wait up!" I grabbed his wrist to stop him from walking. He turned to me, glaring at me with those huge dark eyes. If looks could kill, I'd be happily in my grave right now. He looked angry, really angry. I was surprised that there weren't smoke coming out of his nostril. Now that I looked closer, I realise that he had eyeliner on. But that only magnified his angry eyes. Surprisingly, I found this whole look sexy.
"We were..we were just playing, chill..." I tried flashing him the smile that I knew would make the hearts of thousands of Noonas, fangirls and fanboys flutter.
"Oh so you think I'm some kind of toy you can have fun with?" He pulled back his hand and walked away.
I was too stumped to even respond. Nobody, and I mean nobody, not even Yesung have ever denied the smile.
