Abused

Chapter 10

Dae-hyun! That's who was missing. My eyes scanned around the store. Where could he be? I couldn't drive yet. That was definitely out of the question, so I needed to find him. I looked at Jimin, and she was looking for him too. We both went through aisles looking for him. As I was looking for him, I saw a leg sticking out near the vending machine. "Dae-hyun?" I called. He stood up, and walked out from the corner.

"I thought you'd never be ready."

"Why weren't you with us? We were looking for you." I said

"Well in my defense, I don't exactly fan girl over makeup. You don't need it anyway."

"Why do you say that?"

"I mean you're really pretty Konami. Makeup won't do anything to you but make you look older."

"No, it corrects your imperfections." Jimin chimed in.

Dae-hyun shook his head. He walked past me and out of the store. I ran out the store after him. I gave him the are you okay, type of look. He just half smiled at me. Jimin came out the store after that. She opened the car door, and got in. Dae-hyun and I got in too. "Next stop?" He asked.
"Home." I said.

"No school. I need to get back to school Konami. I'll just tell them that I had to go to the dentist or something."

"You were already signed out though."

"They'll let me back in. Trust me. It's school. They love to keep prisoners."

I laughed and looked at the driver Dae-hyun for approval. He nodded his head, and started to drive back toward the school. When we got Jimin back to school, it was silent in the car. Pretty awkward. We started to drive toward our houses.
"So..." I said.

"What?"

"Thank you for doing this."

"You better be glad I like you."

"Huh?"

"Yea."

"You like me?"

"Yea... As a friend."

"Oh." I said in a disappointed voice.

"I'm just kidding Konami. I do like you, it's obvious."

"Good."

"Do you like... Me?"

"Yea... But as a friend."

"Hey!"

"I'm just kidding." I said in a mocking voice.

We both laughed at this, as we pulled up to the apartments. It only took me until I got to my apartment door, to realize that I didn't have a key. Shit! I looked at Dae-hyun. I waved him away, and acted like I was fine. He went inside of his apartment and shut the door behind him. I sighed and sat down in front of my apartment door. I was sitting there for almost a hour, when he came back out of his apartment. He gave me a look of confusion.

"Konami why are you sitting out here like this?"

"Just wanted to enjoy the weather." I said sarcastically.

"Seriously, Konami if you didn't have the key to your apartment you could have just told me."

"No. I don't want to bother you anymore, than I already did today."

"If you were bothering me, I'd tell you. I'm blunt like that."

"OK... But what am I going to do about my apartment?"

"Why on earth don't you have a key anyway?"

"My mom didn't have enough time to get one made for me just yet."

"Your mom doesn't have time for a lot of things huh?"

I nodded.

"Well you can't just sit out here. You'll definitely get in trouble for not being in school when your mom shows up."

"True..."

"Come on. Get up, you come inside of my apartment and sit."

"What? No. "

"Why not?"

"Because it's weird."

"Only if you make it that way."

"But.. My mom will be even madder if-"

"She doesn't have to know. I'll just offer to pick you up from school. Get in my car drive off, and then come back. You can quickly run out of my apartment, and get into yours. She'll never know. She will just assume I picked you up from school Konami."

"Hmmm"

"Seriously?"

"Ugh. I don't know seems pretty risky."

"Oh you mean like, me dressing up and posing as one your family members? That was risky. I could have been caught and arrested."

"I'm sorry."

"...so.."

"What?"

"You going to come in or.."

"Ugh. Fine, but this is the only time."

"Alrighty."

He held out his hand, and helped me up from the ground. He was so handsome. He picked up my bags and handed them to me. I thanked him, and followed him into his apartment. I awkwardly stood there while he sat down on the couch. He looked at me and smiled. He patted the space on the couch beside him. I sat my bags down and sat on the other end of the couch, instead of beside him. He shrugged his shoulders, and turned on the tv. Hello Counselor was on. I had seen this show before, but I wasn't really into it. Dae-hyun didn't seem to be into it either. He turned the channel, to a music channel. Girls Generations' you think was on. He looked at me and smiled. I frowned a confused look.

"Do you know this dance?" He asked.

"No. Not this one."

"Well then." He turned the channel. Infinites' come back again was on. "How about this one?"

"Yea. It's actually one of my favorites."

"Can you show me?"

"Sure... I guess."
I got up and waited for the chorus. When it came, I did the same motions that Infinite did on the tv. Dae-hyun looked very surprised. I danced to rest of the song. At the end he clapped for me.

"That was really good Konami."

"Thanks."

"Wanna do another?"

"Yea sure." I said sounding more confident.

"Alright. Do this one." The next song that came on was SHINee's Lucifer. He looked at me with confidence, as if he believed that he could stump me in this one. Well little did he know, I practiced this song days, and hours on end. I was determined. I got up and started dancing to the beat. I did all the hand, and arm motions. Dae-hyun's eyes got really wide. A big grin formed on his face, and he interrupted my dancing with him picking me up and hugging me. I was laughing uncontrollably, until he whispered in my ear.

"You're going to do great."

I smiled at him, but was kind of uncomfortable because I was still in his arms. He put me down, and awkwardly went back and sat on the couch. I joined and sat right beside him. We both started singing songs that we knew. After a while, I put my head on his shoulder. I felt so comfortable around him. His eyes were glued on the tv. I lifted my head up slightly and kissed him on the cheek.
