Save Me

Whiteout

"Get up you little sloth." Hyunwoo aggressively throws my bedsheets off. If he wasn't my brother I would've slapped him right there. "Mom and dad both went to work already so you go make your own food and whatever." I stick my tongue out at him. He's younger than me but bosses me around like he's the eldest. To add insult to injury, my parents always compliment him for jerking me around and scold me for not "acting my age".

I roll (literally) out of bed and crawl to the bathroom. I open the door and guess who I see? Kim freaking Kibum. On the toilet. Eating toast. "Come on man, didn't you learn how to knock and- oh my god are you actually crawling on the floor? I need to post this on Insta-" I tackle him to the floor. I can't let my reputation get ruined by him. Kibum knows too many people... It would circulate around the entire campus. Imagine how humiliating that would be! "I hate you so much." Kibum rises rubbing the back of his head. "I'm just warning you because I actually care for you. We have 10 minutes until we got to go, so wash your face, fall down the stairs and eat your stupid breakfast." He grumbles to himself while walking down the stairs. "Also you look horrendous!" He adds before running the stairs so fast, I wish he was rolling down them.

As I get up to wash my face I suddenly understand what Kibum was saying. My hair is past the point of 'cute' bed hair and actual bed hair. My eyebags make me look like a panda and I have a pimple that is sticking out like a sore thumb right in the middle of my forehead. I gasp when I touch it. I don't think concealer will cover that up... "HURRY UP YOU STUPID JIN IF YOU DON'T FINISH EATING IN 5 MINUTES I'M LEAVING YOU." Kibum shouted. I think the entire neighbourhood could hear him. I quickly apply some concealer on my pimple and eyebags hoping they would have at least a minor effect on them.

Stupid Kibum. I actually tripped on the stairs and Kibum actually left me. I quickly grab whatever is on the table and sprinted for the bus stop. Luckily I got on. Kibum is sitting in his seat occasionally giving me side glances. I'm not sure if that's because he's sorry that he tried to leave me or he's laughing at my complexion that is also now covered in sweat.

I see Kibum looking at his notes and I couldn't help but look over. It was titled "Yay Jin no single ideas". He was scrolling up and down. There were 6 guys with pictures and descriptions. I tried to read them but Kibum locked his phone. "Hmm hmm? Trying to find out your blind dates already? Somebody's eager." Kibum taunts me as usual. Except instead of throwing a snarky remark I can't help but flush red. I caught a glimpse of one person and... Oh I'm glad Kibum knows some pretty hot people. I think his name was Ji... Ji? Maybe it was Ju? Actually I can't remember at all. Maybe it's because I ran, but I'm starting to sweat a lot more and it's getting really hot in here.

"Now you're all hot and bothered, aren't you?" Kibum continues to throw similar taunts to me. I can't really concentrate as everything starts turning white, as if suddenly all of the lights slowly took over my entire vision. I can't remember what happened afterwards.
