NOT A JOKE

ch#12

“Hey there mister” the same annoying voice hit Jin’s ears the next frosty evening. “what do you want now?” jin replied to him rather annoyed. 

“You” tae carelessly replied putting arm in Jin’s arm. Jin shoved the boy off him aggressively, “Go flirt with some-one else, I am a busy bee”

tae dramatically placed his hands on his chest and walked along Jin “Flirt! Ooff it’s a strong word mist… are you ok if I call you an angel?” 

“no”

“fine, its angel then” tae cackled at Jin’s angry pout and walked along Jin in the café.

“quit following me” Jin pushed him back but he was a stubborn idiot. When Jin came back with a box of cupcakes he stopped and arched his brow, the red haired boy smiled at him, ”really?”

“aye, my mom told me to always follow my heart, let’s go” tae opens the door of the café and walked along fast jin. Jin was getting annoyed, “that does not justify why you tail after me”

“you are my heart angel” this time, he boldly held Jin’s warm hand in his cold one and Jin realized that the boy was not wearing much clothes. why though? He watched him with rear eye, he was wearing a brown sweater and black jeans, his sharp nose was red and his cheeks held soft pink color, the cherry smooth lips were smiling brightly and the red hair gave his looks the final touch. He was beautiful. But he shook his ridiculous train of thoughts and scoffed, letting the boy hold his hand. 

“I am a human, not a heart red…”

 “hey angel, my name is Tae, I like to pay you a cup of coffee are you interested?”

“ I had my coffee in the morning” 

“oh you are upper economy class eh?”

“and you are lower class hippie who plays with people’s hearts and make money right?”

“awww angel you hurt me” tae whined with a pout, meanwhile a strong wind blew and tae shuddered, jin noticed that but ignored it intentionally.

“ it’s reality red and it always hurt”

“ but you are the reality too”

 “eh?”

“ are you real angel?” tae softly touched his prominent cheek bone with his cold long finger. Jin smiled at his boldness. 

” let me guess, your some so called lover kicked you out and you need a shelter, an emotional warm shelter?’

“heh?”

“that’s why you are tiring yourself after me, you think that you can attract me and capture me in your slick tricks, but I hate people who use their beauty against principles of humanity, you are hurt, I can see a deep wound, but I less care about it, so run along and seduce some-one of your level”

Jin let go of tae’s hand and rushed towards his and hobi’s home. Not knowing how harshly his words stabbed the boy with red hair. 

Tae watched him go, his wobbly legs were not able to hold him more and he fell on cold ground, not knowing how much his eyes spilled water for love of a stranger. 

How he was able to look at his deep injury? 

And how correct he was about him…

He took in a harsh intake and nodded his head, well, he was right, he did this to himself. He did play with hearts, to prove the people wrong or to mend his own first wounds made by love? 

He did not know for how long he sat there until, 

“I have seen many stubborn people but you are one of the kind red” tae’s head involuntarily whipped up and saw the angel covering him with a warm coat. He froze at his place and tried to memorise the sharp yet gentle features of his angle. Then he heard him say, ”say my house is nearby, storm is coming, would you like to spend a night with me? I like good company” Jin held him under his coat with both arms gulfed around him. Tae’s heart throbbed in his head, his cheeks suddenly turned harsh red and his legs trembled, Jin’s smile widen and his eyes glowed with strange fire. ‘so he is thinking the other way. Good for me’ jin thought to himself while dragging tae with him, and tae, he just wanted to die then and there for his stupidity.
