An Everlasting Problem (Phun And Noh AU Fan Fiction)

Chapter 3

"What girl," I repeated a lot quieter than before. My hands slipped from Ohm's neck and I turned slowly to face Per. He gave me a worried smile, his eyes darting to the front again. There was this sinking sensation in my gut. I bite my bottom lip as I slowly edged away from Ohm and made my way toward Per. I felt a pat on my shoulder as I walked by him. Over my blood pounding in my ears I could vaguely hear Ohm and Per following me.

In the short hall I could hear a soft honey voice. It was like a cat purring. It made my skin crawl. Sick and sweet. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and stepped forward. And came to a complete stop. My eyes widened and my breath froze in my throat.

Standing close to Phun was the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen. Pale skin, incredibly dark hair that hung past her waist, lips painted a bright bloody red that curled into an alluring smile. Like Phun she had every inch of pale skin covered in cloth. Her long fingers gripped an umbrella as she purred against Phun. She wasn't tall, the top of her head barley reached Phun's chin, but she knew how to use her height. She leaned in against Phun looking up at him with soft eyes. Her lips puckered as she cooed something softly. Phun's eyes widened before fogging over. His hands slid up to hold her tiny waist.

The way Phun held her made my blood boil. How dare he hold her when he... no, it's doesn't matter who he holds. It's not like we're dating or anything. We were nothing but roommates. I closed my eyes and tried to force my anger down.

He leaned in close to her. She arched higher. Their lips inched closer and my mouth moved before I had time to think. My anger shooting back up in full glory.

"Excuse me," I shouted stomping closer to them. Out the corner of my eyes I noticed two gentlemen standing by the door. They took a step toward me as my voice rose. "This is a respectable business not a love hotel! If you want to make out go somewhere else!"

Phun flinched before turning to stare at me. His eyes blinking several times trying to clear the fog from them. I tried to keep my expression impassive and cold. I didn't want to know how much I was affect by him touching someone else. The woman griped his arm as she slid a glare my way. She turned to look up at Phun again, pushing her body closer to his. Phun's grip around her waist loosened, his eyes remaining on me. He tried to take a step away from the woman but she wouldn't allow it. Her fingers dug into his arm.

"Phun," she cooed. My impassive face cracked. I really hated the way she... purred. She reached a pale hand up to his face, lightly touching his cheek. She forced his attention back to her. "I'm a little hurt. Here we are, finally together, and you're ignoring me." She pouted, her bottom lip sticking out a bit. "Didn't you miss me at all?"

"Aim," he breathed, his eyes hardening as he stared down at her. "You know, I wasn't in a position to miss anyone." I tried and failed to hold back a chuckle. The woman shot me a glare, I returned it.

"Who is this," Aim spat threw clenched teeth. Her sneer never leaving mine. "Don't tell me this— mongrel is the reason you didn't come home?"

Home? Their home? My heart sunk into my got at that thought.

"Aim," he said flatly. "Let go of me." He pushed her back. She stumbled a bit. Surprise filled her dark eyes as she turned back to Phun.

"Phu-"she started to say.

"Noh," Phun softly called cutting the woman off. I snapped my eyes to his. All of the anger I felt before dissipated as our eyes met. His eyes were so soft and filled with an emotion I couldn't understand. My heart flipped and all I wanted was for him to keep staring at me like that. He took a step toward me hand out stretched. I reached out my own hand. Our finger tips brushed. And then they were gone.

That woman had latched onto his other arm forcing him back. Aim grabbed Phun swinging him around to face her. She sent a glare my way before sliding a hand over Phun's arm. Phun tried to break her hold but she was stronger than she looked. Aim glided her hand up his shoulder to his neck. She tugged until his head bent toward her. The woman arched her up.

My heart stopped and the blood drained from my face. All sound around me ceased and I was plunged into an awful silence. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the scene in front of me. Aim watched me from behind Phun's shoulders.

Phun... Phun and Aim were...

I don't know how long I stood there with a stupid look on my face. It felt like years but most likely only seconds. It just felt like time had stopped. I wanted nothing more than the ground to open up and swallow me. But it didn't and I was stuck watching Phun kissing someone who wasn't me. My brain didn't want to admit it but I hated it. I hated it so much.

I felt a tug on my arm and was pulled around to look at Ohm. I tried to turn back to that awful scene but Ohm took hold of my face and wouldn't let go. His face was itched in worry. He said something but I couldn't hear him. All I could do was stare at his face but not really seeing it. My heart ached and all I wanted to do was to pull Phun away from her. To grab him and tell her that he was mine. No, that can't be right. Phun wasn't mine. I've avoided him, pushed him away, and tried to chase him out of my house. I didn't care about him — shouldn't care.

But then why was I so hurt? Why did I care?

Ohm's hands had left my face to tightly grab my shoulders. He shook me ruffly. Instantly all the sounds around me rushed back into my ears. Ohm's normally booming voice called my name repeatedly in a soft tone. Per had stepped around me and was ordering the two men that stood by the door to leave. An argument broke out between the three. The only words I could make out was "get out" and "fuck you". In the middle of the arguing I heard a soft girly giggle, a gasp, and a deep growl. The arguing turned into shouting and whatever was said after the growl was cut off.

I slowly swept my gaze to the center in of the room. Phun still stood close to Aim but no longer locking lips. My eyes widened and my breath hitched. Phun had Aim by the neck. His face was flushed in anger, a snarl tugging at his lips. The woman stared at him, fear dancing in her eyes. He growled again and the arguing going on behind me stopped. Phun's eyes shot up as the two men rushed to Aim's side. Probably wanting to save her. But it was already to late, she was in his grasp and he was furious. I've never seen Phun so angry before. It was terrifying. His eyes were wild. Like a beast that was no longer caged. His grip on her neck tightened. A small gurgling sound escaped her parted lips. He was going to kill her!

But why? It was only a kiss. Granted I hated it. Hated the thought of Phun with someone else. But what did it matter to him? Aim was a beautiful girl, wouldn't kissing her be a good thing?

"Phun," I shouted, my hands fisting at my side. He froze, fingers still latched around her throat. "Phun." I said his name a lot softer. My heart beating furiously and my breathing came in short bursts. Phun slowly turned his head. His eyes seeking me out. As they met mine I could see the beast dimming. His grip loosened and Aim crumbled to the floor. The two men raced up to her. Each grabbing one of her arms and pulling her up. Her small frame shivered. Phun's anger faded to be replaced by concern. He took a couple steps toward me, hands out stretched in front of him. My name whispering from his lips. I tried to swallow but my throat closed. My eyes widened as his hands reached for me.

I was afraid. And did the only thing my body would allow. I backed away, shaking my head, and raced out of Acoustics.

========================================

I had trouble with writing this part. Writers black hit me hard and my original plan went out the door. Sorry it's so short. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer...

Thank you so much for reading! <3
