He Started It by Hitting on Me

I'm Dying and No One Would Save Me, So You Would

JONGHYUN'S POV
The ride back home was not quiet. At all. After Mi Young had realized that the smell was coming from her sweater and realized that it was pee, my pee, the tension in the car was rising.
She stayed in between Minho and Taemin for the rest of the ride, not glancing back at me once. I wondered what she would be thinking. What kind of plans did she have in store for me? When was I going to die? When will I be able to punch my balls for not having a strong bladder in the first place?
I sighed quietly and kept on staring at the back of Mi Young's head. It barely moved unless she was trying to get Taemin off of her.
Taemin always tried to hug her or do something, because he felt like as if he was the last one to do anything to Mi Young. Onew kissed her, Key had a crush on her and became her first guy friend before all of us, Minho... didn't do anything with her and I was her longtime frenemy.
Maybe Mi Young and I were more then frenemies, but that's how we were labeled as- frenemies.
Anyway, I said there was tension in the car right? Well yes I was absolutely correct about that.
Mi Young's arms were folded during the whole 15 hour trip back home (yes, Key had announced we were going back home right after Mi Young realized I peed on her) and she was frozen as a statue.
That made my heart beat fast. She was deep into thought if she barely moved. She was definitely going to get me after we get home.
Oh my ing dinosaur.
I didn't want to die so soon. I wanted to bang some girls before I die. I want to get married and have babies before I die.
I WANNA MAKE MY MOMMY PROUD BEFORE I DIE!
Onew kept on staring at me as I bit my lip nervously. I didn't notice he was looking until I turned my head around. He had a dumb expression on his face. I raised an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked. Onew didn't seem to say anything. He just stared and stared and stared until I started to get really annoyed.
"What?" I hissed. I spoke loudly enough for only Onew to hear and no one else. You may never know if Mi Young or any of the others can hear. Onew put a hand up to his cheek.
"What the hell did you do?" he asked, shaking his head in disapproval. I rolled my eyes and sighed impatiently.
"I didn't do anything wrong. I just... peed on her," I mumbled, feeling my my cheeks turning. Ever had that feeling where you get embarrassed and your cheeks feel weird? Like they turn or something? That was what I was feeling at the moment.
Onew chuckled. "What kind of a disrespected playboy pees on the girl he likes?"
"I didn't know I was going to pee on- wait, what? I'm disrespected? By who? It's that fat girl in class, right? Because I didn't bang her-"
"No, babo- you just seem to be the one who gets hurts most out of all of us. And you're almost the oldest, too. Therefore, you're disrespected," Onew smiled, talking all scientist-like.
Damn, why is everyone speaking like such nerds? Does anyone realize I'm a failure at all this ? God.
He sighed. "Anyway, you're a fail at getting the girl you like. You can't even act like yourself anymore when you're around her," Onew whispered.
"What? No. I act like myself! I act like Kim Jonghyun... right? And who says I like her?" I spat.
Onew rolled his eyes this time. "You act like a turd, Jjong. Well that's how you really are, so what's the point in acting like yourself? Please. You know you like her. And you want her."
"Hyung!" I whined. "I am not a turd! And I don't-"
"Nuh-uh. Stop acting like a turd, Jjong. You like her~"
"YOU SON OF A , NO I DO NOT."
I yelled this out loudly and everyone started to look at me. Except the . "You okay, Jonghyun?" Key asked.
I nodded.
"Okay. Then shut the up."
I nodded again. "Okay."
Everyone went back to what they were doing and I glared at Onew. "See what you made me do," I grumbled, folding my arms.
Onew leaned back in his seat. "I told ya- you're a turd," he smiled, taking a leg from his "stash" and chewing on it as if he were a boss.
I turn back from him and stare directly back to Mi Young's back, just staring and staring and staring at it.
It's been hours of staring and I never got tired at staring at the redness of her sweater. It was getting dark too.
But my staring had got interrupted by a certain dongsaeng-
"Noona!~ Are you hungry?" Taemin asked, holding out a hamburger. Mi Young grumbled under her breath and shook her head slightly. This made Taemin pout. "But Noona, I got it just for you~"
"I'm not hungry," she says quietly. Taemin furrows her eyes. And he stares and stares at her. "Am I dead? Did Noona just say she's not hungry?'' Taemin asked, bewildered. And then he started to go on and rant about this to anyone who was listening.
We were all listening, actually. "Noona, you have got to eat! If you don't you might become a stick like Hea Won noona-"
"Taemin!" Hea Won gasped.
Key smirked. "Well, it's true. Under all those layers you wear, I can see your bones visibly," Key admitted.
"KEY!" Hea Won yelled. Key's smirk quickly was wiped away from his face as soon as she yelled his name. Before Hea Won can slap the out of him, Key jerks his head to the other side.
"Hit me, and we all die in an accident," Key threatened (kinda). Hea Won slowly pulls her hand back and grumbles to herself as she looks out the window. But Taemin kept on talking about Mi Young's desire for eating.
"If Noona doesn't eat, then I feel as if she isn't happy with the world. Especially me," Taemin pouted.
Ahahaha. Sorry Taemin, but she doesn't fall for your little 'cute' acts. She doesn't fall for any-
"I'll take that." Mi Young reaches for the hamburger and brings it up to her mouth. Taemin smiles.
... WHAT THE HELL? SHE JUST TOOK IT AFTER HE DID THAT 'CUTE' ACT? SHE FREAKING TOOK IT AND ATE IT AND MADE TAEMIN SMILE AND THAT IS JUST SO FREAKING UNFAIR!
SHE'S GONNA KILL ME AND MAKE TAEMIN SMLE. DOES THIS MEAN SHE'S GONNA MARRY TAEMIN WHEN I'M DEAD?
OH HELL NAW. I WILL NOT LET THAT FREAKING HAPPEN.
YOU AUTHOR. STOP WITH THE DAMN CAPS.
(... Dx)
I was angry in my head, but I didn't appear anywhere near pissed in my mind. I guess you could say I was safe. But from what?
After that, everyone started to act silly. Onew and Minho decided to have a sword-chicken fight with each other, but it only ended when Onew was getting mad that his chicken was starting to crumble. Key and Hea Won kept on arguing because of that whole 'skinny' situation Taemin brought up.
Only Taemin, Mi Young and I were the quiet ones in the car. All I did was staring (more like eye stalking) while Taemin played a little game on his game system and Mi Young was eating that hamburger. But she was eating it rather slowly...
She really must be thinking of something to do with me.
Oh no.
I close my eyes and pray silently to God. God, keep me alive or I'll rebel against you. 'Kay? 'Kay.
When I open my eyes, my phone vibrates.
...Is this a message from God? OMG, I FEEL KIND OF... JUMPY.
I eagerly take out my phone and scroll down only to find a text message from... Onew.
....
....
....
....
Never have I been so freaking disappointed in my whole life. I was really expecting to get a message from someone 100000x better. I feel sad now. Immensely.
I sigh anyway, because I knew I had to answer or Onew won't talk to me for like a whole week or something.
His text : Mi Young took the burger, ahahaha. What are you gonna do about it, turd? (;
I texted back : WANT ME TO SHUT YOU UP, ?
Silence... Beep. Texting....
His text comes back : im ur hyung and u better respect me, turd. ^^
Grumbling from me... Texting...
My text : oho, really? want me to take that chicken and SHOVE IT DOWN THE TOILET? >:D
... Lots of silence... a little whimper... Texting...
His last text : YOU MEANIE. DON'T SPEAK TO ME EVER AGAIN. btw- look in front of you. surprise, surprise. turd. <3
I did look in front of me and what I saw almost made me drop my phone.
That dongsaeng, that one hell of a blonde dongsaeng had his skinny arms around Mi Young who seemed to be not caring that Taemin was hugging her.
He was squeezing her, almost and I could see the relief on his face. He had finally hugged Noona and he was happy. You ing better be ready to die, you TURD.
"YEAHHH, I FINALLY HUGGED NOONA. I FINALLY HUGGED NOONA! AHAHAHAHAHA. IN YOUR FACES HYUNGS AND NOONA, I HUGGED HER-"
"TAEMIN, YOU'RE PIKACHU MEAT."
"HYUNG! NO WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING-"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
I jumped on Taemin and we both fell down on the car floor and started to wrestle each other to be on top. I tried to grab Taemin's neck but he would block it and try to block my hands from touching him anywhere. We kept muttering and grumbling and I wasn't sure if anyone was paying attention to us.
"Hyung! Stop it!" Taemin whined. I didn't stop. I kept on going, trying to hit him anywhere and was on top of him.
"Why were you hugging her?" I growled, my hands slithering over to his waist. Taemin slapped it away and kept on blocking my hands away from his body.
I heard a click nearby, but I didn't seem to care much.
"Everyone else got to do stuff to her, and I didn't get to do anything. It's not fair! I like her the most, yet Noona keeps fading away from me. Do you understand how it is to be in such a position?!" he roared.
I stopped wrestling him to the ground. I stopped completely. His words hit me like a kick to the groin from Mi Young. I knew those words very well and I knew what they meant. It was bringing me back to those memories from before. It was bringing me back to her again...
It's nor fair! I like her the most, yet Noona keeps fading away from me.
Fading away from me...
Fading away... Noona...
Suddenly, I heard a yell and then before I knew it I was pinned down onto the floor with Taemin on top. I could feel is grip tightening around me. Damn. When did Taemin get so strong? I could feel my wrists burning from his violent touch and I had to admit, Taemin was scaring me now.
"Eugh, Taemin. Get off!" I yelled.
"NO! You didn't get off of me!" he barked back.
"BUT I REGRET IT NOW, SO LET GO."
"NOO! YOU MIGHT HURT ME."
"IMMA HURT YOU NOW IF YOU WON'T LET GO, TAEMIN. LET GO!" I pushed him back and he leaned back against the edge of the car seat. He made a painful expression and rubbed his back.
"Hyung, I hate you," he muttered, while getting up on the seat.
I sighed deeply and leaned my head back against Hea Won's seat. "I'm sorry Taemin. You know how I can get..." I trailed off, trying to find a word to explain my actions.
"Jealous?" Taemin asked quietly. I shook my head. "No, no. I wouldn't be jealous-"
"You were jealous," Minho bluntly stated, nodding his head. I furrowed my eyes and widened my mouth.
''How rude!" I gasped. "Minho, I thought you never spo-"
Something else seemed to catch my eye, and it was none other than Mi Young who was sitting on top of Minho with her phone in one hand as she kept staring at it.
...
...
...
...
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? FIRST TAEMIN GETS A HUG AND NOW MINHO GETS A SIT ON THE LAP?
IS THIS A WAY OF GETTING REVENGE?!
I DON'T LIKE THIS WAY.
I could feel my anger boiling and my fists were clenched. "What the hell, Minho?" I growled, through clenched teeth. I didn't dare to pummel him because Mi Young was on top of him and ... well... she might kill me.
Mi Young stopped looking at her phone and looked down at me. My heart stopped for a second as soon as she looked at me.
We had a moment of silence as we kept staring at each other and no one bothered to say anything.
Just hours ago, we were handcuffed to each other and now hours later, she wants to kill me. How things can change so quickly...
Hmph. Whatever. I'm dying and no one will save or even bother, so you world.
"I wanted to stay on top of Minho. Is there a problem?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
I quickly shook my head. "No..." I trailed off, gulping.
"Then be quiet and stop bothering everyone," she told me, going back to her phone.
I pick myself up and mumbled at Taemin to move over so I could fling myself over the seat to the back. He shild next to Minho and Mi Young and I flipped over by Onew.
Onew smiled at me when I sat back up. I folded my arms. "What?" I muttered.
He had his phone in his hand and pointed it towards me. Suddenly, my phone vibrated and I found it on the seat next to me. I took it and saw that Onew sent me once again another text.
Being jealous and then denying it won't solve anything. You know your real feelings, my Jjong ~ (;
I look back at this text like a hundred times as the sun kept setting in the background. The car kept on going and my eyes kept on staring at the screen. How many times have I denied the fact I might like her? How many times was I jealous of her being in some other guy's arms? My real feelings? What would they be?
All I could think about was death in store for me later tomorrow. We were just getting to the evening and in just a couple of hours we were going to come home. I'm thinking in like about 8 hours? Ah, I think I should get some sleep then.
I took a glance at Mi Young and saw that she was back into her original spot in between Taemin and Minho. She was yawning herself and her head was slowly drooping to the side near where Taemin was at.
I couldn't bring myself to remove her head head from his neck. I mean, his neck is like... too fragile for her fat head.
MUAHAHAHA. SEE I DON'T LIKE HER. RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT...
I used Onew hyung as a pillow and he didn't seem to care as long Key didn't get to see us. I laid my head on Onew's lap and looked up onto the gray overhead of the car and just stared at it like as if it were Mi Young's sweater.
Ha, I knew I was right. I didn't like her. My stupid friends were just trying to convince me but it wasn't going to work, ahahaha.
Right then, my eyes were slowly drooping and the phone from my hands dropped to the side of me and I knew I was asleep. Yet even though I was sleeping, there was always this voice at the back of my head.
You idiot. You know you're lying. You just know it.
But I didn't listen.
I had no dream that time. No dream. No turtles, no nothing. It was just blank, as if nothing can come in my mind. Everything was white. That's it. Really, there was nothing to explain about it. And it kind of made me wonder: what did that mean? If I had no dream, what would that mean?
I woke up to the sound of Onew yelling, "WAKE UP!"
"AHHH!" I yelled and I almost fell down. Onew was smiling at me as he looked down at me. He laughed.
"You were sweating, you know that?" he asked. I touched my face quickly but found no trace of sweat anywhere. I furrowed my eyes.
"I'm not sweating..."
"It's 'cus I it all off of you."
I gasped. "What a naughty hyung!" I shake my head, smiling a little as my mouth widened.
"Yeah, but I didn't get to your mouth because I wanted to wait until you were awake," Onew grinned.
I grinned back. I held out my arms and started to pull his head closer. "Then c'mere and the sweat off my mouth ~" I cooed, bringing him closer.
"NOT IN FRONT OF TAEMIN."
Minho had put his hands over Taemin's eyes because Taemin was peering over the seat, trying to eavesdrop. I could see Taemin's lips curling into a pout. "Hyung, I didn't see anything yet- can I just see at least how they swirl their tongues so I could do that to Noona?"
"You know that's not happening, Taemin," Minho sighed, pulling him back and shutting up Taemin by showing him some Pikachu plushie toy. I look back at Onew and smirk at him.
"Let's go back to what we were doing, shall we? " I asked.
He smiled back and started to lean in, only to stop himself right before a peck on the lips. "Go brush your teeth first and then I'll think about it, you perv."
I scoffed but still had a smirk on my face as I let him pull back but when he was about to turn around, I grab his hand and make him look at me. I pout at him. "Would you at least give a peck on the cheek?" I asked non-desperately.
"YOU SON OF A . THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR YEOBO? CHEAT WITH ANOTHER GUY?!" Key yelled, folding his arms. I blinked at him innocently.
"You're the one with the girlfriend."
"THAT'S DIFFERENT. I DIDN'T GO OFF AND TRY TO KISS ANOTHER GUY."
"YOU AND ONEW DID IT A BUNCH OF TIMES. DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW."
"BUT WE DIDN'T DO IT IN FRONT OF YOU."
''CAN YOU GUYS SHUT UP? GO TAKE YOUR GAY FESTIVAL SOMEWHERE ELSE."
Hea Won took air in her cheeks and folded her arms as she grumbled a couple of other things under her breath but then quieted down. All three of us looked at her for some time until going back to reality.
"Yah, where are we?" I asked, getting up.
"We're already here."
"What?" I asked, not believing what Onew was saying.
"We're here. In Seoul. In Key's garage. We're here. That's why I woke you up. Sooo... get up, babo."
I widened my eyes. We're already here. Back home. And that means...
I looked in front of me. Mi Young... wasn't there. She was not there. Only the six of us were here except Mi Young. She was gone.
... Does that mean I'll be alive today? Did God give me another chance to be alive?
GOD, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW?
WORLD, I'M LOVING YOU TOO, BABY ~
A smile started to appear on my face and I couldn't help but to smile wider and wider. Even Onew was starting to notice. He scrunched up his face. "What's wrong with your face?" he asked.
I shook my head and decided to excuse myself from the car. I almost kicked Taemin in the head. When I got out of the car, I could hear him whining at me. "I have a sensitive-"
And that's when I closed the door on him and didn't hear the last from him. Fortunately.
I was walking with all sunshine on me and birds chirping and I was feeling warm and all bubbly~
And that's when I walked behind the car and then yelped and jumped back. Why? Oh, you know why. You're just waiting for me to say it so you can be guaranteed it's her.
Mi Young. The .
I clutched at my shirt where my heart was beating and I could see her looking straight at me. There was no kind of emotion in her eyes and she had her hands on her hips. She never moved once and I think she has washed up before I woke up.
I was breathing loudly, even loud enough for Mi Young to hear and she could tell I was a very nervous guy right about now.
She took one step forward and I didn't move one bit. She smiled at me a little. "We're hooomee ~" she chirped, saying the last words I'll ever hear out of her mouth in my life.
'Cus God knows I'm one dead man.
Or dinosaur.
And we both started running. I couldn't tell whether she was the first to run or I was, but either way we were both pretty fast but I was just a little bit faster. It may be because I have bigger feet than her and that I'm a guy.
If I told her that, she might as well call me ist.
I wanted her to call me anything. I just don't want to feel any pain she'll give me soon. I knew I was going to get caught sooner or later, but it's always better to hope right?
Wrong.
We both ran around the whole freaking neighborhood. We even passed my house and I wasn't able to say goodbye to my momma.
I'm a momma's boy, you know that?
Anyway, Mi Young and I didn't do much talking. Just running. All she could hear from be was yelping and begging. I sounded really queer if anyone wanted to know. Really queer...
"COME BACK HERE!" she yelled.
I shook my head and I wasn't able to speak because I was running out of breath. And soon, I would be out of energy.
She's like a freaking lion that's coming to get me, a zebra. being a dinosaur- this is where Discovery Channel should be at.
I don't how long we kept running but it seemed pretty long to me. Even though I was getting tired, I still kept running for my life and kept at that pace. Mi Young was no better. She was panting hard and I could see she was sweating now, but she still had that evil determination in her eye.
MOMMA, COME BACK TO ME. I wish I never left that car. I wish I stayed with Onew and Key and Taemin and all of them. I wish I kissed Onew. So then I would know how a guy's lips taste like before dying.
Yes, let me admit before I die that Key and I have not done it. Sad right? I know.
We still haven't had our first kiss but maybe we will. If I ever make it.
Why am I acting so gay?
Ahem, because I was so lost into my own gay thoughts, I took a glance behind me and observed that Mi Young was catching close to me. I started to go a little faster. We ran away from the sidewalk and into the street, just running straight. Nothing seemed to be in our way and it was pissing me off. If only I could have some things to throw at her so she could slow down.
But it was me who was slowing down. And I didn't like that.
My body tend to go slower and slower until I was slow enough for Mi Young to pounce on me.
But I can't let that happen.
It was then I found a car on the street and decided (without thinking, of course) to take a leap on the car. That turned out to be miraculous, but then I decided to jump from it which turned out to be... not so great.
I was falling with no one to save me.
I bit my lip and closed my eyes. In the middle of my fall, I decided this was better than being beaten to death.
Before I died, I think I encountered a miracle. I felt something grab me and I thought maybe I was just hallucinating.
Then everything grew still.
I wondered what was up, so I opened one eye slowly and saw Mi Young panting a few feet away from me with a surprised expression on her face. She wasn't staring at me though. She was staring at someone else.
Her expression seemed to look up, so I looked up too.
Indeed it was a miracle.
The one who was holding me was none other than the handsome face of Mi Young's dad, with his camera around his neck and that solid white smile.
"Appa?" Mi Young asked.
"Appa?" I squeaked.
Mi Young's dad giggled and smiled again. "Appa!' he cheerfully replied.
... Just one question:
WHERE THE HELL DID HE COME FROM?!
