Unlovable

Chapter 31

My body jolted awake when I heard an ear piercing scream. I sat up and opened my eyes straight away. I was still cuddled into Onew, and Taemin and Minho were both still sat on the sofa, holding their console remotes. They had paused the game and were looking at each other with curious expressions, eyebrows furrowed and shrugging their shoulders. I turned to Jinki, who was looking slightly concerned and was getting up from beside me. I turned to see Key storming out of the kitchen.

"What now," he sighed as he walked down the hallway, following Onew.

I quickly got up and also scurried after the two of them, now beginning to wonder what was happening too. Minho was looking over the sofa, in an attempt to try and see without moving, but gave up as the wall blocked his sight. All we could hear was muffled noises coming from Jonghyun's room.

"Anne-ah, calm down. Please."

I pushed past Jinki and Key, a gut feeling in my stomach that was making me want to crawl into a corner out of embarrassment at what I thought she was doing. I opened the door without knocking. Thankfully, what I saw was not what I expected. I had expected that suddenly Anne couldn't control herself anymore and went full fangirl mode on Dino.But when I opened the door, I saw Anne standing on the bed, trying to practically climb up the wall. On the other side of the room was Jonghyun, trying to catch something.

"What's happening? Anne are you okay?" I said walking into the room.

"NO DON'T COME IN HERE! YOU WON'T LIKE IT!"

I stopped dead in my tracks, "Why?" I asked hesitantly, slowly walking back to where I was.

"Ah, got it" I heard Jonghyun breathe, and I turned around to see a huge black body with eight long skinny legs, that he had attempted to catch with a glass. The spider was so long, that the body was almost the full size of the glass and the legs were sticking out from underneath it. Me, being utterly terrified of spiders, just fell to the floor, and tears started rolling down my cheeks. You know that kind of irrational fear that is just so overwhelming all you can do is cry? Yeah, that. Jonghyun took one look at me, and scurried away as fast as he could with the creature. Anne got off the bed and started to help me up, rubbing my back and reassuring me.

"I'm okay, thanks" I said, smiling weakly while sniffling, "I'm just going to go get a tissue." I said, walking to the bathroom. I walked past Key and Jinki, but Jinki followed me like a shadow to the bathroom. I opened the door and he just walked in after me, and locked it, like it was no big deal. I started laughing at his actions,

"You know, I'm completely capable of getting a tissue myself" I said while dabbing my damp cheeks while looking in the mirror. I saw the squishy cheeks appear behind me, and rest on my shoulder as his hands encircled my waist.

"I know. I just wanted to make sure my jagiya was alright." he said, smiling at the end and closing his eyes as if he was going to sleep right there and then.

"I'm tired" he mumbled into my shoulder while tightening his grip around me and cuddling into me even more. "It's all your fault,Jagi."

"My fault? Wait, what did I do?" I said, as he opened his eyes to see me pouting at him through the mirror. I saw a smirk grow across his face as he said,

"All that excitement this morning tired me out." He bit his lip after he finished speaking, and I watched as the blush grew darker on my cheeks.

I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I just stood there looking like a fish. I tried to break eye contact with him, but the mischievous twinkle that the gave off kept my eyes locked on his. We stood there in silence, just gazing at eachother. A knock on the door caused me to jump due to how deep of a trance I was in all due to looking into his eyes. Jinki moved away from me, and took me hand to lead me out of the bathroom. He turned to face me, smiling and then letting out a chuckle, before he opened the door and lead me out. It had been Jonghyun who had knocked on the door and was still waiting outside the bathroom.
