Uki’s POV~

Was I wrong in hitting Jiwon? Ehh. I didn’t think so. Truth be told, if it weren’t for Donghae in the first place, I probably would’ve hit her at hello. I was actually pretty proud that I lasted so long. I sighed heavily and rested my chin on my drawn up knees and stared out at the darkening sky. I thought ahead this time and made my own personal stash of blankets and jackets up here. I smiled to myself as I pulled the blanket closer. It was the same one Teukie and I shared that night we had our conversation up here. I sighed again and looked up at the deep purple and blue sky. The roof really was the place to come when you had to think things over.

When Donghae had pulled me into the room, he simply told me that I was a bigger person than her and I needed to start showing it.

“Uki, c’mon, just be the bigger person,” Donghae had said.

“Why should I?! Donghae, you said so yourself. Jiwon is an annoying, loud-mouthed, self-absorbed . I’m ashamed to say that she’s my sister,” I spat disgustedly.

He just sighed at me. “Uki, it shouldn’t matter what she thinks of you. Everyone in the house loves you to death, and that’s all that should matter. Don’t give her the satisfaction of seeing you upset, or else she’ll just be more and more relentless. Just go and apologize, okay?”

“Donghae, what’s the use? I broke our promise already.”

“Then let’s make a new one.” 

I just sighed and looked up at him. “Fine. I promise that, just for you, I’ll try to contain my temper better, okay?”

I brought myself back down to reality, shivering slightly as a slight wind whipped lightly through my hair. I slipped on a jacket and pulled the blanket tighter around my shoulders. It just didn’t make sense. Jiwon and I just never got along, ever since the beginning. I’m not really sure when the animosity between us began, but it somehow escalated into all this nonsense. All the fighting, all the yelling, all the hating, it all hurt everyone around me, and I can’t believe it took me this long to finally realize it. When did I let things get so out of hand?

Oh great, and here comes the tears.

Uki Seohae Choi, what is with you?! In the past five years, you’ve hardly ever shed a tear, and you come here for two months and you’re sitting here crying like a wimp?! That is just unacceptable behavior! UGH!

I threw myself to the ground, the pile of extra blankets and jackets breaking my fall. I stared up at the sky, as if all my answers would somehow just fall down on my face. I thought of all the recent events that happened ever since Jiwon stepped foot into my life again, but the clearest thing that stood out to me was her flirting with Leeteuk. Just the thought of it had my anger flaring up again. Jiwon is a great deal of many things, and a heartbreaker was definitely one of them. I mean, c’mon. I’m not gonna lie and say that she was ugly. She was a Choi after all. ;D

But with her looks, she tends to just manipulate the guys around her, never wanting anything more serious than a fling. It’s been awhile since Leeteuk’s been with a girl so if Jiwon does anything to hurt him, anything at all, I think I just might kill her. Like, in the literal sense. Teukie’s too good of a guy to be hurt like that.

…

I did that, too, didn’t I?

Aish. I hate questioning myself like this. It just takes too much time and effort.

Leeteuk, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry if I hurt you, and if I did, I promise you I didn’t do it intentionally! I just…I thought we already talked about it! That it wouldn’t work between us! Why did you have to be so stupid and wait until after Donghae asked me out to make your feelings heard?! ARGH!

GUYS ARE SO STUPID!

WHY DO WE EVEN BOTHER WITH THEM?!

I let out an audible groan and just shut my eyes against the world that just didn’t make sense to me anymore.

~~~~

*Chirp, chirp…CHIRP!*

Wteff is with all these damn birds?! I lazily opened by eyes. Hmph. Looks like I fell asleep on the roof. Well, now I see why the birds were so loud this morning. I sat up, propping myself up with one arm and looked around my surroundings. What time was it? It felt too warm to be early in the morning. Sitting up all the way, I stretched my arms high in the air and just sat there for a second, thinking. Why hasn’t anybody looked for me? Have they finally learned that when I leave somewhere, it means I don’t want them to follow?

I reached in my jacket pocket and pulled my phone out. 2:38 IN THE AFTERNOON?!

OMO!

This was the longest I’ve ever slept in before! Yah! I’ve practically slept the day away! T^T

After getting over the shock of the time, I was shocked once more by the mass of missed calls and text messages and voicemails I’d gotten. Hmm…One hundred sixty-seven missed calls…A hundred eleven of them being from Donghae while the other forty-nine were from various other people. Thirty-six new text messages. Twenty-three of which were from Donghae. Fourteen new voicemails…Fourteen of which were from Donghae. Aww! Donghae~

I sat there for a little longer, wondering if I wanted to go back to sleep or not. Oddly enough, I found the cement roof to be quite comfortable. I sighed, knowing I was going to have to go down sooner or later. I stood up and carefully stashed my jackets and blankets back in the box I kept up here and removed the rusted steel bar I’d found and used to keep people from disturbing me from the door handle and stepped into the elevator.

Floor fifteen, please.

I hummed silently to myself, leaning against the wall with my eyes closed. After it *dinged* me onto the right floor, I went and opened the dorm door to be greeted with voices from the kitchen saying, “What if she was kidnapped?!”

“What if she ran away?!”

“What if she was killed?!”

“What if she just fell asleep somewhere?”

“What if she’s in the hospital?!”

I slowly walked to the kitchen doorway and stood for a moment to see the guys plus Alex sitting there, worrying over me for nothing. Heechul was the first to notice me and he shot out of his seat like a bullet and tackled me in a bear hug.

“OH MY GOODNESS, UKI, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW WORRIED WE WERE!” he yelled at me, hugging me so tightly, I could literally feel all the air in my lungs leaving me.

I just laughed and said, “Yah, oppa! If you don’t let go, I’m gonna die!”

“Good! You deserve to die for worrying us like that!” Heechul yelled, pulling me to arms’ length, just to have Donghae come in and hug me even tighter than Heechul had.

“UKI SEOHAE CHOI, DON’T YOU EVER THAT TO ME AGAIN!” he yelled at me. “I WAS SO WORRIED!”

I laughed and pulled back, looking into his face. My poor fishy! He had dark circles under his eyes, indicating to me that he got no sleep last night. Maybe I should have checked my phone.

“I’m really sorry, Donghae, everybody,” I responded, giving everyone a sorry glance. “I just really needed some time to myself.”

“You couldn’t have at least called?! Donghae was so worried about you! We had to take shifts knocking him out just to make sure he got any sleep!” Sungmin said irritably. It’s obvious he was grumpy from getting no sleep~

“Where the heck did you go to anyway?! Singapore?!” Eunhyuk asked.

I smiled and said, “Nope, no can do. If I tell you where I was, it would totally defeat the purpose of going there any longer ‘cause then you’d know where to look whenever I need time to think alone!”

“Uki, please don’t do anything like that ever again. You had me worried sick! I started thinking of the worst possibilities!” Donghae said.

I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but pure worry and fear. I pulled him into a kiss and after we broke apart, said, “Well, you can obviously see I’m fine now, so go get some sleep, okay?”

He nodded and quickly kissed me on the cheek before walking to his room. I turned to the other guys.

“What happened to Jiwon?” I asked.

“Well, after you basically knocked the crap outta her, Siwon started scolding her about saying anything about your necklace in the first place so then they got into a fight. The fight eventually escalated to the point where Jiwon…Well, she…Well, she kinda decided that she was staying here. And she’s in, um…” Heechul trailed off, uncomfortably scratching the back of his neck. “She’s kind of, um…In your…Room.”

I blinked twice at him as numb anger washed over me. Apparently, everyone had expected me to blow up or something ‘cause they all went deathly silent when I said, “Oh, I see. Well, it’s okay. I can stay with Donghae while she’s here.”

Then I walked away to get my things ready for a shower, hearing them whisper things like “Did she get kidnapped and brainwashed or something?” or “Are you sure that’s Uki?” or “Maybe she hit her head last night and she lost her memory of anything Jiwon related.”

I sighed. I was willing to make an effort while my…Sister stayed here. I promised Donghae, and I didn’t wanna hurt my parents any longer. So as of right now, it’s gonna be nothing but complete niceness.

Oh goodness. Let’s see how this works out, shall we?
