SPIDERMAN (jeonglix)

🕷SPIDERMAN.

Let's be completely honest. Jeongin wasn't the luckiest person in the world. There was that time he dropped his phone drown a drain, or that one holiday where he nearly drowned in the kiddy pool- not to mention just the other day his chihuahua brutally tore up his history paper on the cold war (he'd had a nightmare about Brezhnev's fucking eyebrows that night).

But seriously, seriously, was he so unlucky that on the way home from school he was getting mugged.

"Just give us your wallet and we'll let you go kid." The woman of the pair said, obviously making her voice deeper than it was. Some sort of sock object covering the bottom of her face. The man beside her nodded enthusiastically, the small knife in his hand shaking nervously- and Jeongin had to hold back a disappointed sigh.

Instead, he rolled his eyes, unable to hold his tongue. "What do I look like? An old man? What teenager carries around a wallet?"

The pair of muggers were stunned, not expecting the teenager to speak back to them. They gave eachother cautious looks, a lot less confident then they were moments before.

"You have any cash on you?" The man then asked unsurely.

"Unless you want my lunch money like a couple of 10 year old bullies, all I've got is my phone and some change." He replied annoyedly, he had already missed his bus and if he didn't return home soon his grandma would start shouting about how he was abducted my aliens while smashing pots and pans outside his house, again.

The women was growing agitated, "Well give us your phone then."

Jeongin's eyes widened, "My phone?! Are you stupid? I could just track it back to you- dumbass."

Suddenly, the last few days of exam stress and bad luck rushed out of him. "What kind of muggers are you anyways? Do you do this for a living? If so, you're really shitty. Why don't you do something better with your life? And why prey on helpless teenagers- where's you sense of morality?!"

The muggers were clearly confused, the man seemed ready to run for it or pass out due to the change in situation.

The women however turned to her panicking partner in exasperation, "God this kids annoying. I'm gonna sock him in the face."

"What?!" The man and Jeongin shouted simultaneously.

"You can't!" He said, "We don't actually hurt people! Let's just let him go."

Jeongin nodded, "Exactly. Listen to the smart guy. Sheesh lady, I thought you were the brains of this operation.

"If you don't-"

"Oh my god you're like team rocket! Can you say the motto? It's like," Jeongin cleared his throat before making it sound high pitched, "Here comes trouble and-"

"That's it." The women said, clearly unamused, "You're getting decked." She rolled up her sleeves and moved towards Jeongin, who grimaced.

"Okay okay! Don't finish it then! Just let me go home old lady-"

"Old?!"

It was happening so quickly, the frustrated women pulled her fist back to take a swing, the man beside her trying to hold her back and Jeongin could only flinch and curse his charming vocabulary for getting the better of him.

That was until some absolutely disgusting white gloopy stuff shot past his shoulder and incased the womens arm, making her jolt back in shock.

"Holy shit- what the-"

"Damn," a deep voice said above them, "You really shouldn't be swearing infront of the youth, old lady."

Sitting perched like some type of bird was a man, wearing the most ridiculous outfit- and a mask on his face. He was casually chilling on top of the lamp post, and Jeongin wondered just how long he was watching them for.

Ugh, the teenager thought, creepy superhero alert.

"Who the fuck are you?" The women shouted, trying to free her arm from the white string, "Get me out of this thing." She shouted at her partner, who unhelpfully moved his arms around like he could somehow contribute without actually touching her.

"Uh-huh, if I let you go, what would I tell the police when they show up?" The (Superhero? Cosplayer?) man added mockingly.

The man was shaking again, "P-police? What police?"

The man was now walking down the lampost- horizontally. His feet were actually sticking to the black poll, and somehow defying gravity he slowly made his way down.

Jeongin could only watch in a mix of horror and astonishment, because who would wear such an ugly costume?!

The women sputtered, "What- no! They'll never catch us!" She stated, grabbing the man who seemed to be muttering a prayer in desperation.

The husky voiced vigilante was now on the ground, standing inbetween Jeongin and the muggers- their face hidden by a spider-like mask.

However the tone of his voice was easy to read, "Well then grandma, you better get running."

Without another warning, they took off. The man dropped the knife in an act of fear, and before it dropped to the ground the man shot the same white strings at it- catching it before it fell. "I'll go turn this in." He said thoughtfully to himself with amusement, like a kid who had just received a gold star, holding the silly strings like some sort of bag. He chuckled quietly, "Can't believe they fell for that!"

The muggers were nearly around the corner when he shouted, "Old lady be careful! Don't hurt your back!" He crackled manically at his own joke, bending over to catch his breath.

Jeongin just narrowed his eyes, taking a step back as he grew more and more alarmed at the creepy spider-man thing, and his worry only increased when he turned around to meet eyes with Jeongin.

Well, he assumed they locked eyes- afterall Jeongin couldn't see his eyes, but it was better to imagine a face behind the mask than to stare it in confusion. Oh god what if this weird man spider white silly string using cosplayer didn't even have a face.

"Hey kid, you alright?" He asked softly, cocking his head to one side. His voice was deep and husky, a slight accent Jeongin couldn't quite understand. The teenager could tell the other was trying to sound cool, but after witnessing them laugh uncontrollably at such an unfunny joke- Jeongin couldn't see anything but a lame doofus infront of him.

Perhaps this is the moment he should have said, "thanks for saving my ass spiderman, you the man."

But instead, Jeongin eloquently said after moments of intense deduction, "Are you wearing spandex?"

And this was how he met Spiderman for the first time. Unfortunately, it wasn't the only time, in fact it was one of many, many, many times.

Yipee.
