I must admit; that was one of the few reprisals I had ever done. However, it was clearly a wrong choice at retaliation that resulted in many disastrous endings.
“Tao.” said Luhan with his head lowered after a few seconds of silence.
Tao leaped up after having froze for two seconds, “Damn it Luhan why are you taking your anger out on me!”
“I’m not venting my anger on you.” At this point the house had became a platform for Chinese communications, the rest of them resembled fools trying to decipher the content of their argument.
However, it was nothing too challenging to figure, from when Jongin chose Luhan, Chanyeol’s mouth had never once sealed .
Luhan lifted his head to look at Tao, “I naturally have my reasons for electing you.”
“I am not joining!” Tao’s face reddened.
“Arbitrarily doing anything you want, damn it I’m not playing this anymore!” Luhan reacted agitatedly, an opposition to his usual personality, his voice and Tao’s overlapping.
All the Korean members looked in horror as the two people quarrelled. Kyungsoo softly asked Junmyeon what they were saying while Junmyeon dragged him away from behind Tao gently.
Baekhyun squinted as his eyes turned teary, and Chanyeol frowned as he watched Baekhyun, probably feeling remorseful for not having chose him first, the situation that has yet to come was evidently not one he could control nor predict.
“Luhan …..” Yixing gently called out, Luhan finally brought the quarrel to a halt. Tao looked at me with his bright red neck almost as though anticipating a word from me.
The group with Tao would probably win, I sighed lightly and thought that perhaps he shared the same sentiments as me.
“Since someone has chosen you, just go.” I spoke coldly to him in Korean. “Aren't you a little too impatient with life.”
Tao looked at me with his reddened eyes while the others had faces that depicted awkwardness. However it did not matter, I had always been able to shun awkward atmospheres.
He strutted with his long slender legs towards me, “You’ve thought about it clearly?”
“I’m not in any position to ponder about it,” I looked at him relaxingly, then lowered my head to avoid the eye contact before ignoring his Chinese conversation and speaking in Korean, “Quit being so attached to me, I have been bothering you for a long time.”
He didn’t talk for some time, maybe it was the hurt or perhaps my seasoned ignorant expression?
“Is this the truth or is this falsity?” That silly kid was now taking it seriously, shit, I blamed myself silently for elevating the complexity of problems.
“I am a person who doesn’t lies.” I said.
“I will go to that group, I am just curious to know if this is the heartfelt truth.” His eyes narrowed and reddened slightly. From my understanding towards him, I knew that it would eventually form tear droplets which would then erupt into a valley of tears.
I lifted my head to look at him, then at the countdown board, “You have already wasted a huge amount of everyone’s time.”
“What are you saving this amount of them for?” Indeed the tears started flowing, “To kill?!” He shouted at me.
Chanyeol immediately held him from behind, using Korean to comfort him softly, Luhan and Sehun both looked towards the ground, speechless. I calmly wiped away the saliva he spitted on my face.
As I watched him being dragged to the other group, I hurriedly called out to Sehun, “next.” Then looked back at the ring on Tao’s neck, thank god, everything was fine.
Sehun numbly lifted his head, as though having just woke up, he still seemed to be unaware of what he had to do and looked at me in bewilderment.
“It’s your turn to choose.” I said softly.
He numbly raised his head again, scrutinising the remaining people, Baekhyun, Junmyeon and Kyungsoo, then he looked at Chanyeol and Luhan who stood on the opposite side before depressingly saying, “What do I do when I’m done choosing.”
