For All That Is Love

The Loof is On Fire

Zelo's POV

I smiled at the thought of her, of AnnMarie. The way she snuck into class dressed in such a comfortable but uncaring way. 'She has B.A.P. merchandise that isn't from TS Entertainment. Did she design it? Or did she simply buy something someone else designed?' Those thoughts amused him and even troubled him. The merchandise looked way better than anything TS designed themselves. Their designs were repetitive but these designs were unique in every way possible. 'Just like her...' I thought. I tried hard to pay attention to the rest of his classes for the day. Art drug by and I was uncomfortable having to draw someone who stood naked in front of him. Math was even worse. I always good with numbers but this girl that stood out as plain as day had really effected me this morning. She looked beautiful and she was clearly extremely smart. 'Forensic anthropology and psychology,' I thought smugly as I walked towards the blue line bus stop. There were a number of other people standing there too. They were all members of a K-pop group of some sort. I saw my band mate Bang Young-guk.

Approaching him with his head hung low, I said, "Hey, Bang. How did it go for you?" Bang looked up at my voice and with a smile responded, "It was really boring. I thought college was supposed to be lots of fun with parties, great food, and beautiful girls. This school has interesting events that happen, but those tend to happen when I'm in class. The food isn't too horrible but it's kinda bland. These girls around here are just so not what I'm used to seeing, ya know. What about you?" I just hung my head down. I didn't really want to share with my hyung about the encounter with AnnMarie, but I was so compelled to do so. With a sigh, he said," I had an interesting day of sorts. In my first class, I met this girl-er- more like she tripped and fell on me. But besides the point, she was decked out in this B.A.P. merchandise that looked amazing. TS definitely didn't design it, and her bag had a number of k-pop band logos on it. She was just the plainest girl I've ever seen, but yet, she was beautiful as well. God, Bang, she's smart too. She showed me to my next class. The whole time I could practically see the wheels in her mind turning. She asked me my major and I told her but then she told me hers. Bang, she's here to study forensic anthropology and psychology," I rambled on gesturing with my hands as I so often found myself doing.

At that moment the bus pulled up. Everyone boarded in silence as they were so accustomed to doing. They rode in silence to the special housing for them. Upon arrival, everyone walked in group to their designated buildings. Zelo and Bang walked to the very last building which held all the B.A.P., Vixx, and BTS members. They all got along fairly well, but someone was almost always doing something until the wee hours of the morning. Sighing I thought, 'Good thing I'm a heavy sleeper.'

Bang noticed Zelo's sigh. In his deep voice, he stopped at the door and said, "It will be okay Zelo. We are only here for a few months. It's a learning experience and maybe you should talk to this girl. Get to know her better. I can tell you have been thinking about her. You are so young. I'm not saying date her or anything. But you know talk to her, hang out, anything. Besides you need to start to learning how to talk to girls. You are a man now. Enjoy being 19-er- 18 and have fun. Relax a little and have some fun. You stress too much my dear maknae. The others will agree with me." With that being said, I hung my head lower. 'Maybe he was right. It surely wouldn't hurt.'

They walked up the stairs together. Already, we could here the laughter and shouting of the others. I was pretty much ready to get started on my homework and crash. Ignoring the yells for me as I walked by, I went to my shared room with Moon Jung-up. He wasn't in there, naturally. He was probably goofing off with Kim Seokjin. I had just sat my heavy bag down beside my desk when Cha Hak-yeon busted into his room. With an excited yell, he says, "THE FAIR IS IN TOWN!!!!!!" With some slight irritation, I said, "N, I've got so much work to do. Maybe we could go later. At least when I've gotten some wok done." I saw the others peeking behind the door frame awaiting my response. N decided to take that chance to tackle me to my bed. Tickling me, he said, "Play with me!!!!!! You need to have more fun."

Laughing, I screamed, "Someone get him off me." I saw Jung Taekwoon walk by to see what was happening. With a laugh he walked away and then I heard Park Jimin mocking me. With a shove, I pushed N off me and sighed, "Fine. Lets go." With a happy yelp, N went running from the room letting everyone know I was going to come with them. I slammed my door shut and laid down on my messy bed. 'Maybe Bang is right. I could start and finish my homework tomorrow and finish it quickly enough.' I got up and left my room. Everyone patted me on the back and told me that I really needed this and that I would really enjoy the American fair. I put on a smile and decided to take Bang's advice. With as much excitement as I could muster, I yelled, "Well? What are we waiting for? Let go!" I was rewarded with a number of yells. N got on my back and I just carried him piggy back style until we got outside.

N's POV

I was happy that Zelo had decided to join us. Bang had asked me to help him adjust to such a change. He seemed okay but Bang disagreed, something about the American society bothering Zelo. 'I was actually shocked Zelo gave me a piggy back ride. But I was also surprised by his reaction in general.' I got off of Zelo's back not long after we all piled outside. "Thanks for the piggy ride," I said with a smile. Looking back at me, Zelo said, "It wasn't a big deal. You aren't that heavy." Patting him on the back, I ran up to where Bang and Kim Nam Joon was ahead. With ease I asked, "So, where exactly is this fair?" Rap Monster responded, "From what I understood, it's only a few blocks from our current location."

We all walked talking among ourselves. Before we knew it, we could smell the sickeningly sweet smell of fair food. I could hear the maknaes getting louder with excitement. Looking at Bang and Rap Monster, I nodded and said, "What are you all waiting for? GO HAVE FUN!!!!!!!" I watched as everyone took off the rest of the way. With some restraint, they slowed down to maintain their cool. Catching up with everyone, we walked into the fair. Everyone broke off into groups. I went after Leo, Jin and Jungup.

We all walked around, eating overly sweet and greasy food, riding rides, and playing games. Just when we were all about sick from the addicting food, we all some how managed to convene at the merry-go-round. We were all just about to leave and head back to the dorm when I heard this laughter. It was overly loud but so happy at the same time. Curious, I turned and saw this dark skinned girl wearing a vixx jacket. It looked a lot like a baseball jacket. On the front left breast was the robix and the back held the number 90 and the letter N. It struck me that it was my name and birth year.

The girl looked beautiful. She was wearing rugged looking blue jeans and this nice looking red shirt. She was boarding the merry-go-round and yelling that she was "gonna jump on that zebra." I couldn't help but stare at her. The zebra that she was so determined to ride was noticeably taller than her. Just when I thought that she was going to give up on her mission, this girl came by and gave her a lift. "There you go, Cora," I heard the other girl say. 'Cora. So that's her name. It's different, but in a good way.'

I stayed and watched Cora ride that zebra. Her smile was so bright and she looked so triumphed by riding such a creature. She made eye contact with me for a brief second and I saw her dark eyes grow large with what seemed like recognition and disbelief. I turned to leave at that point. Everyone was leaving me behind; everyone except Zelo, who seemed to be looking in the same direction as I. ' I wonder what has his attention. I haven't seen him concentrate on anything but his work in such a manner. I will try to figure that one out later. But this Cora.... with her dark skin and loud determination, she had truly caught my attention.' I walked back with my thoughts on Cora and her smile. I was in such deep thought that I failed to notice Zelo was equally deep in thought.

"Hey, are you okay, Hyung?" Han Sang Hyuk asked me waving a hand in my face. With a start, I looked at him and replied, "Yea. I just got distracted by -er- the fair. Sorry, Hyuk. I don't mean to worry you." Seeming satisfied by my answer, he walked back to his shared room with Lee Hongbin. 'I can't seem too distracted. I am the leader of Vixx and must maintain the leaderly vibe, but Cora.... beautiful, tiny, loud Cora.... I will have to find her.....talk to her. But why is someone I have never met and probably won't ever meet again effect me in such a way?' I decided then that I would do my beat to find Cora. I needed to know her, and I couldn't explain why. Heading to get a shower, my thoughts once again went to Cora. 'It seems that this will go on and on and on until I just might need therapy.' Smiling, I took one of the hottest showers in my life. It was so hot I thought my skin might have been on fire. 'Cora, I will find you and get to know you,' I thought to myself as I got dressed and laid down for bed.
