A Beautiful Night's View (part 2)

Chapter 5

Minho arrives back from his jog and sees Dru leaving. She drops her phone which Minho catches preventing it from falling to the floor and potentially breaking. He gives it to Dru using that excuse to touch the tips of her fingers while handing it to her. "Thank you." He cheekily smiles at the kind voice as he thinks to himself while looking at the lucky bracelet. "Thank you funny fortune tellers. My luck is finally getting better." Large raindrops begin to pour in the midst of everything. Minho holds Dru's hand dragging her inside. "You will get wet. Just wait a little while till the rain stops." Dru obediently sits down on the couch next to Key, they both stare out the large glass windows artistically covered in the musical rainfall. 

Meanwhile Faye walks on the streets of Seoul and is busy texting Taemin. Her feet feel the pit pat of the water. "Oh no! Inappropriate footwear!" A kind stranger with a polka dot umbrella allows her to join him. She can barely make out his face in the stuffy crowd. They both enter a coffee shop nearby avoiding the disappointing weather. Taemin pesters her with more texts. 'I'm waitin. Where r u? Don't b l8 ;)' Faye speaks while looking at her text as she was in a hurry. She seemed to forget her basic manners of looking at the person that you speak to. "Hi. Please can I borrow your umbrella? I'll buy you a free drink." She takes her order of coffee and hands it to the stranger. He happily gives Faye the umbrella in return. She walks towards the exit as she speaks. "Thanks a lot. I will return it to you tomorrow in the coffee shop at the same time. Bye I'm in a hurry." Faye rushes off and catches a bus. The stranger sips on the coffee. "Mmm delicious!"  Faye arrives and looks around searching for the right house in the neighbourhood. She points around at which direction she was thinking of going, knowing she was bad at directions Taemin waits outside the house for her and waves at her from afar. She runs up to him, they both get under the umbrella and quickly walk inside the house. Key speaks from the couch. "Hey! It's you again!"   

Faye walks up to Dru and shakes her hand. "Dru! Your job is here? Wow...Who knew we would meet like this under these circumstances, everyones been so busy lately doing their own thing. I only got your text this morning about your new house maid job. Vicky was missing you by the way over at the university. We were just having a conversation about you. You could have come visit us, its been a month or so. You have been working your socks off!" Faye's excited tone is heard throughout the room contrasting with the silence. "Yeah I have been a little busy. Sorry." Dru smiles at her and looks back at the clock. She sends her concerned mother a message saying she will be late. It slowly becomes dark outside and the rain is never ending. A large thunderstorm sends lightening, electrocuting the air with a loud noise. Dru flinches and tightly grabs onto Minho's arm as he had replaced Key's seat in the couch a while ago. Her cold fingers carve around his heated, defined muscles. She looks at her hand and slowly lets go, Minho smirks and again looks at the lucky thread on his wrist. Again the thunder sounds and the electricity goes off, the whole house is pitch black. 

Minho purposely leans closer to Dru, she shrugs him away. "Sorry I was a bit scared." The lame excuse doesn't affect Dru in her stance on the situation. Key goes to look for a candle and luckily finds one in the kitchen after a few minutes of searching through several places around the house; using his phone to light the way. He finally lights the candle with a lighter and places it near where the others were. "I rang the manager he said he will arrive in an hour or so. Faye would have to go back when before he arrives." Key sits back down next to Onew. A loud bang is heard in the house, the members cautiously look around. "What was that? Did you hear it? I think there is a ghost." Onew and Key warn the others who look frightened. "I heard stories before about a woman called Mrs Choi." Minho points at himself. "No not your mum! Another lady..." Key interrupts. "She died here before and fell off the balcony. Her spirit still haunts this place till today!" Onew looks creepily at Dru and scares her. "BOO!" Minho retaliates. "Hyung don't scare her! I bet it's a bunch of made up stories anyway." He says this suspicious of his own words. Both youngsters Taemin and Faye are holding hands in the dark petrified at the tale told by the older members. 

Onew googles  the story and shows it to the rest, distracting them. They begin to read the news article one by one. "Oh shit! Where is key? He was right next to me a while ago."  Everybody looks around bewildered at where Key had disappeared to. Another loud noise is heard. They all begin to scream at once with different reactions. "AAAHHH!!! I don't want to die! NOooooo! Fuck!!! Mum!!!Aish!" The lights come back on and Onew starts manically laughing out loud. From the stairs Key walks down and joins in with the laughter. Minho, Jonghyun, Taemin, Dru and Faye look at each other confused. "You got pranked! Ha Ha Ha! I cut the power off when you didn't expect it. You guys totally feel for it" Especially when I said I've called the manager." Onew and Key fist bump each other and point fingers at the rest of the sulky faces who had been fooled. Dru leaves for the door. "It's stopped raining I will leave now. I have to be in early to work tomorrow." Onew sees her out the door. "Bye and don't be late tomorrow! Have a safe trip home!" Faye looks at Minho who has his eyes fixed on the windows. He looks at Dru walk until she is out of his sight. "You still still have feelings for her, don't you oppa?" Minho looks back at Faye admittedly. "Yeah it's just she is mad at the previous events. I want to make it up to her." Faye pulls her friend Minho closer. "Hey~Don't worry. She totally still loves you. My instincts tell me! She is just putting up a charade. Playing hard to get I call it. She will fall for you in no time, she's not good at keeping acts up anyway. I will help you!" Minho's large cute eyes become even child like and larger. "Really? You think so?" Faye winks at him and shoves a biscuit in his mouth. "I know so."
