AN:- Nearing the end now :)
"Oh man, I've missed you so freaking damn much, Trouble." Kibum chuckled, ruffling my hair fondly. "It's been far too long since I last had a specially brewed TaeHee heart attack."
Laughing humorously I opened my mouth to reply when another panicked voice called out- or more like wailed out my name.
"NUNA!"
I barely had enough time to turn my body around fully, before Taemin rushed towards me taking my slightly sore and aching body into a tight bear hug. His hands were shaking as he wrapped his arms securely around my middle, his head lowering to bury into the crook of my neck. I felt him inhale and exhale deeply as he held onto me, a clearly panicked aura surrounding him from everywhere. His each and every limb shook as he clung to me like a Koala bear; small sharp stings of air puffing in and out repeatedly from his tightly wound up being.
"Uff Taemin!" I went tumbling back slightly at the force of his embrace. "Watch my head Tae, it still hurts a little." I added my voice slightly low in tone, as I winced in pain.
He tightened his embrace around me in response to what I said, one hand curling up my spine to cradle my head.
"I saw- well more like I heard you and Hyung fall to the floor and I was so scared that something bad had happened to you Nuna!"
My heart melted at the fearful tone of voice my younger brother had adopted and I gently ran a hand through his soft silky hair, calming him down. My own nerves were still on edge but seeing his devastated state I was compelled to become his comforter, his panicked aura highly apparent in every grace he upheld.
"I'm okay Tae." I cooed softly into his ear. "I'm okay and nothing bad happened to me at all. Shh now Tae, I'm okay."
"Nuna." He choked a little trying to hold back his emotions. "Nuna... Oh, Nuna."
"I'm here Tae." I carried on rubbing his back, in attempts to help him stop trembling. "It's all okay, I'm okay."
He whimpered as he lifted his head a fraction to press his mouth to my temples; reminding me completely of Onew Oppa at this moment in time, as this was something that my older brother would need to do to reassure himself that I was truly okay. Smiling, I let Taemin placate himself, his entirely too rapid heartbeat, steadying the longer he stayed like such with me.
"Nuna don't ever scare me like that again!" He grasped out in a slightly choked voice, burying me into a tight hug again. "I can't lose you. I refuse to lose you."
"You won't lose me." I said pulling back to peer into his eyes reassuringly. "Look at me yourself Taemin. I'm honestly okay."
He cupped my cheeks, looking me over carefully. "Nuna, my Nuna." He murmured, palms quivering still, indicating the level that his fright had climbed to.
"I'm okay." I repeated endlessly, an endearing smile present on my rosy lips. "I'm okay Taemin, I'm okay."
"Thank goodness." He whispered before he hugged me once more.
"Oh Jeeeeezz!" A high pitched sniffle came from behind me.
Taemin pulled away from me to look at me before frowning and looking at a teary Kibum behind me.
"Uhhh..." Taemin looked a little lost.
I furrowed my brows, twisting back to peer at Kibum as well. "Bummie?!"
"Hyung, are you uh, okay?" Taemin asked, albeit a little hesitantly.
Kibum sniffled loudly, dabbing at the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief in a poised manner. I sniggered into my palm, rolling my eyes at his antics.
This guy was still the same rich dramatic kid that he had been back in University.
I chuckled lightly, meeting Kibum's eyes coincidentally as he glared irritatedly at me, knowing full well what I was finding funny and why.
"I'm sorry Hyung." Taemin said looking sheepish. "I completely forgot for a second that you were also hurt, my mind was so focused on my TaeHee Nuna that I didn't even think of you."
Kibum languidly waved him off, wiping away a stray tear from his eye. "Oh don't worry about it Taemin." He replied sniffling still. "It's okay."
JongHyun looked confused at what was going on and I internally cooed at how adorable his scrunched up face looked. He was such a baby when it came to expressing his emotions and it was one of the many things I adored about the man. He was never one to shy away from what was in his heart and that made him so fucking attractive, I doubt he himself even knew the extent of his appeal.
"OH JEEZ!" Kibum randomly exclaimed, hands raised upwards exasperatedly.
All eyes swivelled to him. "You alright Bummie?"
"WHY AM I STILL TEARING UP?!" He half screamed out, his annoyance blatant in his stance. "Oh bloody hell!"
"Awww Bummie!" I snickered mercilessly at him. "Are you tearing up, you old softie!?"
He weakly glared at me as he sniffled loudly once more, his nostrils flaring with the force. "Yaah TaeHee!" He threw me a sterner dirty look, my humour only budding at it. "How many times have I told you not to call me old!?"
He reached over to where I was sat and pounded my back, only being successful in making me laugh harder the more his face took on an affronted expression.
"Oldie, oldie!" I sang, even waving my hands about gleefully. "Kibummie is a little oldie! OLDDIIEEE BUMMMIIIEEEEE" I sang annoyingly, my volume intensifying, catching nearby onlookers attention.
I paid them no mind, sticking my tongue out cheekily at a highly wired Kibum, Taemin also gently chuckling at the stance I was adopting in pushing my friends buttons.
"Yaah!" He whined. "Stttoopppp iittt!"
"OLLDDIIEEEEEE!"
"YAAAH!" He flipped me off. "You're actually so goddamn annoying, Trouble!" He muttered, rolling his eyes as he stood up a smidgen and pushed me where I was laughing hysterically.
That wasn't the best thing for me apparently, as proven in the next few seconds that seemed to pass by in slow motion. Everyone's eyes widened at what happened, my laughter unfortunately for myself not wanting to cease, only making my situation worse. Due to the very fact that I was laughing so hard I was a little off balance anyway so his one little, totally harmless shove sent me flying to the ground.
"Oh crap, TROUBLE!"
"Nuna!"
Both Kibum and Taemin reached out to try and grab me, failing as I went down anyway. My eyes scrunched shut as I braced myself for the second time to become one with the shopping mall floor.
Oh, Fuck! How many more freaking bruises did I have to endure today?!
