Hidden: Strings of Fate

CHAPTER 31

I was glad that my hair had now grown. When I cut it short, I didn't realise that I looked like a boy. My hair was my pride and joy. It was long, thick and as long as my torso. Most of the time I had my hair tied up though because it's easier to get things done when your hair isn't getting in the way.

I roughed up my hair as I plugged the hair dryer in.

"Wow...(!)" My eyes literally bulged out of my eye sockets at the voice. I twisted around as soon as I heard the last letter. The bathroom door had opened and in the frame stood a silhouette.

"Oppa, is something wrong?" I asked.

"No. It's just..."

"Oppa? Am I mismatched?"

"No, No, No. You're not. It's just that it's the first time I've seen you wear a dress. You almost look decent..." answered Hongbin.

"Oh," I blushed at his compliment, "thank you oppa. Wait a minute..." I just realised what he said "Yah! Oppa, are you kidding me? I look decent all the time."

"You look like a guy with your normal wear and you act like one too," he replied while poking my forehead, "do you know what? I forget that you're a girl sometimes. And what did you say? Yah?! I'm older than you. Looks like Hyuk's rubbing off onto you."

"What? Hyuk's rubbing off on to me? Is Hyuk a transferable material now, oppa?" I giggled. Plugging the straightener in, I looked towards Hongbin. He was leaning against the door frame, observing my every movement.

"Oppaaaa," I said as I bounced towards him. 'Time to use the tricks I learned from Jaehwan.' "Do I look pretty like this? Do I look pretty like that? Oppaaa. Buing Buing." I teased with aegyo. I started to poke his stomach. He started to cringe. I saw him starting to come towards me slowly with a sneer on his face.

"You really shouldn't poke me like this. I can barely contain myself..." Hongbin whispered.

"C-c-contain yourself? W-w-what do y-y-you mean? By containing yourself?" I started to stutter. I edged back further as he creeped forward. My back hit the wall. He stretched his hands out and lay them to rest on the wall. He had me cornered. He started to lean in closer until he was parallel to my ears.

"You can take it however you want, jagiya. I could do it right here while we're alone or would you rather I do it where the other members can see us? Do you want me to do it hard or soft?" My eyes widened. I unconsciously bit my lip.

"J-j-jagiya? O-o-oppa?" I pushed him back so that there was space between us, "are you feeling ok? Your choice of words...is...interesting."

"Interesting? Do you want me to do it now Jagi? I feel better now after teasing you."

"Teasing me?!! What do you mean by teasing me?!" I said, appalled.

Hongbin did his judging face. "Yah, Honey-ah! You byuntae! Wait until I tell the other members..." I covered his mouth with my hand before he could finish the sentence.

"I'm partially living with 6 hormone crazy guys. Don't think I haven't heard the noises that comes out of your rooms at night! You tell anyone about this... this incident and I'll make sure..."

"You'll make sure what?" he said, softly as he stalked closer to me again, resuming the same position we were in before.

I pushed him away forcefully. "JUST MAKE SURE NO-ONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS OR I'LL EXPOSE YOU! AND I AM NOT A BYUNTAE! IT'S YOU! TAKING EVERYTHING THE WRONG WAY. YOU'RE THE BYUNTAE NOT ME!

"Says the girl who just indicated that she wants to expose me" he sniggered. "Look," he put his hands together in front of him and had a serious look on his face, "if you want to expose me that bad...Just ask nicely and I'll show you everything."
