Nineteen

"Thank you so much for your help!" We said as Sulli walked out.

"Anytime. It was really fun. See you guys at school!" She waved at us as she got into her mother's red car.

"We got the first draft done!" We shouted and jumped around in glee when we got back to our room.

"We will get it printed on our way to Taemin's house." I said while copying the file to a pendrive.

"I don't think I'll be able to come." Her energy dampened. "I have a bunch of homework to complete."

"I told you to do it with me yesterday!" I reminded her.

"I know! But it's okay. You go. I'll come by next week." She pushed me to the door.

"Next week, you're gonna do your homework with me." I grabbed a denim jacket from the chair to pull over my pink tee shirt and black skirt.

"Yes mother." She teased me.

"Where are you headed?" My mother walked out of the living room and asked.

"We have to take print outs and talk about props for the short film project at school." I lied without a hiccup.

"Get home before six, okay?" She said.

"Yes mother." I exited the house after grabbing some money.

At Taemin's house, I was let in by his father. "Good evening!" He patted my head.

"Good evening Mr.Lee!" I responded.

"Y/N! Yesterday's post was amazing!" Taemin said delightfully as he shut his door.

"You flatter me too much!" I quoted him and flipped my hair.

"I wish I could meet you more often, dude." He sat down and wrapped a red glittery boa around himself. "Got this new one from one of dad's shoots last week." He said when I eyed it.

"It's so soft." I rubbed it along my hand. "I am so jealous of you."

"You can borrow any of these anytime you want." He spun it around my neck and started playing with my baby hairs.

"I wanted to talk about something." I spoke as he untied my hair and started to arrange it in a half up half down do.

"Sure." He had his attention on my hair.

"I don't know for sure but ... never mind. I don't think I'll need it." I cut myself off. I stared at my chest with dread.

"What is it?" His curiosity made him ask.

"Nothing. It was a stupid thought." I straighten my back and rolled my shoulders.

"Okay ... come on, tell me, now I want to know." He shimmied against my shoulder.

"It's nothing." I hid my face and giggled.

"Where do you want to sneak out to when we are in the city?" He switched the topic.

"I don't know. You're the one who has been to the city so many times. You tell me where we should go." I declared.

Our discussion jumped from topic to topic till I decided that I had to get going.

"The school's library is probably open for the township reading club's meeting. Why don't you get the prints from there? The cafe is further away anyway." Taemin suggested as I left.

Taking his advise I entered the crowded library and headed to the empty stalls with the computers and printers.

I stared out the window while the pages printed out. The sight of the sports centre brought to mind yesterday's call.

Searching for the clock, tapped my feet. It was only four thirty. I had time.

When the pages were done, I filed them neatly in a brown paper envelope. Escaping the library, I broke into a run for the stadium.

When the building grew larger in sight, I decelerated. The door was ajar and I could hear thumping noises inside.

I walked in and silence wrapped around us when our eyes met. My grip on the package tightened. Maintaining a calm expression, I moved towards the court where she stood in her old team uniform.

"You always looked pretty in those. The old colours suited you." I referred to the grey, white and mint blue colour scheme. "Not that you don't look good in the new black and blue." I corrected myself with a silly smile.

"Thanks." She was anxious, barely meeting my eyes. Her smile was stiff.

I let the cold air invade my lungs as I inched closer. My hands ran from her shoulders to the back of her neck and I kissed her lips gently.

A collection of gasps emerged from a corner. Jumping back, my eyes moved to the storage room. Like a pack of wolves eyeing their prey, their gleaming eyes shot arrows at me.

"I knew it!" One of them shouted while they emerged from the shadows.

"Goodness, you are a freak." Another sneered as they stood behind Luna.

"What's happening?" I muttered, clenching my hands.

"Didn't I tell you? Everyone in that family has something wrong with their heads." Luna stepped towards me, her hands on her waist.

"Is it your mission to try and get every girl in sight?" One of them grabbed me by the collar.

"Not everyone is a raging dyke." She raised her fist.

My closed my eyes in anticipation and the punch landed on my nose. Pain stung through my nerves and my eyes slipped out of focus.

Hugs and kisses from Cheonsa.
