Love Bite [Yeonbin]

IX

I opened my eyes as my phone alarm goes off and I lazily got up from bed.

-pang-

A surge of pain course through my hip. The hell... why is it hurting so bad...? What the hell happened last night? As I started to regain myself, I realized that I was in an unfamiliar room and half naked.

"Wha–!?" I hurriedly covered my lower half and tried hiding beneath the covers when my hand touched something soft. A plushie? I looked to where my hands are and a fluffy tail was right in front. A tail? Nonetheless... a fox's... tail.

I looked over to see the other's face and memories from yesterday's night came flowing through my thoughts. Embarrassment flushed my face red as I remembered the events. How did this happen!? Think Soobin, think!

Let's see, you got angry at him for a stupid reason, ran off and went to the bar. You drank your heart away to forget him, got hooked up with some... guy and somehow he went to get me and brought me here, to this run-down motel...

I slapped my face with both hands and calmed myself. Okay, first things first, I need to get the hell out from here. I tiptoed to get my pants and phone and went straight to the door.

As I was passing by, I saw myself in a mirror. god... I looked like a mess. Red bruises covered my neck, the veins are gone though, that's a good thing. 'Sigh' how did it end up like this...

I reached for the door knob when I was embraced by a sudden hug. "Where do you think you're going, Soobin-ssi?" He whispered in my ear. "Nowhere..."

"Nowhere? By bringing all your stuff with you, you're planning to run away from me."

"I am not."

"Then if you're not going, turn around and look at me."

What do I do? What would he do if I turned around? He wouldn't do something shady, would he? "I said turn around and look at me Soobin-ssi." His mellow, half-asleep voice begged through my ears, the more I listened to it, the more it drew me in.

I courageously turned myself to face him only to be kissed suddenly by his plump lips. He smiled gently and look towards my neck and caressed it, "Looks like those veins are gone. C'mon, let's go get something to eat."

He left the room and I was just standing there looking at his back. He didn't tease me at all and he's being... nice? That's a first. Usually whatever I do, he'd find a way to make a joke of me.

"Hey, aren't you coming?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah..." I walked out of the room as we leave the place together.

"Hyung! Is everything okay? Are you hurt? You ran off yesterday and I went to search for you in your room but you weren't there. I got worried and I don't know where you were and–"

"I'm fine, Taehyun. I found Yeonjun hyung on my way back. We were tired so we stayed someplace else."

"Yeonjun hyung... Thank you for finding him." He bowed down several times, grabbed my hand and went straight to the dorm. "Hyung, I told you if there's anything bothering you, tell me."

"I will, okay. Can we go now?"

"Promise me you'll do that."

"Promise"

—
Few days later, Yeonjun hyung would always bother me in a nice way... like buying lunch for me, or offering a ride back to the dormroom. Any of those kind gesture.

"Soobinie, what do you wanna eat? Some cream bread, milk or omelette?"

"You looked happy lately. Something nice happen to you?"

"Hehe, you can tell?"

"By the way you wagged your tail left and right, yes I can tell."

"Hey, hey, Soobinie, listen to this. I think I'm falling for someone." He smiled wide, as if sparkles hit his eyes, he looked with such excitement.

"Mhmm, and why are you telling me this?"

"Because I want you to be the first to know. Hey, help me perfect my confession will you? Please?"

I can't say no to his puppy-like eyes, he wouldn't stop begging anyway until I agreed to his request. "Fine, I'll help you, but only today."

He stood up and hugged me tightly. Thanking me as he makes his way out of class. He definitely is in a good mood or he wouldn't even hug or thank me like this.

—

He told to wait here at 4, but where the heck is he!? He was all like, 'oh Soobin, don't be late. If you're not there at 4 I'll find you whether you like it or not. Kay, byeee!'

"*sigh* why did I even agreed to this..." I paced myself on the rooftop while waiting for that fox. "Soobin! Sorry I'm late heheh. Should we start then?"

"So, how do you plan to confess anyway?"

"Let me think of some scenes. Hey, stand over there and look the other way. When I call out your name, turn yourself towards me, got it? Ah, give me some feedbacks as well while you're at it."

Geez, so much request just for some stupid confession. I walked towards the designated spot with my back towards him and slowly turned to faced him. "Hey tell me when you're rea–."

"Soobin-ah, I like you."

The spring breeze brushed his hair softly. His eyes beamed bright and crescent like a moon as he smiled gently. The sunset hue painted his body perfectly.

-thump-

Huh...? What was that just now? My heart starts beating faster as he went close to me. What is this? Why would I–

"How's that? Was it good? Does it make your heart skips a beat?"

I blinked several times before I realized what just happened. "Hey! I told you to signal me if you're ready! You cheater!" I fussed about, flailing my arms towards him as he would just laughed at my actions.

"Hahaha, guess you're right. They might dislike it though... It's getting late, you should head back to the dorm room. Sorry for taking your time."

Ah... that's right. The confession is for someone else. Stupid Soobin, why would you get flustered over such things... but, why does it hurt so bad? I should be happy that he has someone to like. He wouldn't bother me anymore and I would be free...

But why do I feel like crying...

"Hey Soobin, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine... I'll see you tomorrow in class, I guess."

I hung my head low. Afraid that he would saw my face whose going to burst into tears at any moment. I ran down the stairs and hurried back to the dorms. Locking myself in the room and cried my heart out.

I hate this, I hate this, I don't wanna feel like this...

'Ah... I've fall for him.'
