The rose Among the Thorns

It Started With A Fan Fiction

I was in a big stadium. In the middle of a jam-packed crowd, screaming and singing along and waving their hands up in the air with the melody. But he found me, and he was staring directly at me just like how I did to him. Every word, every strum on his guitar sent butterflies in my stomach as he sang the song.

I knew it was for me. I can feel it. His gaze never left mine, while he still had the smile on his handsome face. That toothy smile that makes my heart melt.

Gosh Park Shin Hye get a hold of yourself! But how can I? Jung Yong freaking Hwa is looking at me like I am the most beautiful girl in the whole wide universe! Any second now I feel like I’m going straight to heaven in no time!

And I did.

Suddenly he was already in front of me and all the people look at everyone but us, as if they are boring holes in every inch of our bodies. I swear I am internally screaming at the top of my lungs! But…how did he do that?

Oh crap I must have been lost in my own cloud nine earlier, with him of course, that I wasn’t able to notice him going down the stage, still singing with his lapel but now he loses his guitar as he handed it to a staff.

“Hey, princess.”

I was cut short from mentally slapping myself from missing such moments. The song finally ended and his voice was the only thing that resonates from the sound system. What the…heavens!

“H-hi.”

And there I was, smiling nervously as I stand dumbfounded. He leans very slowly, closer to me. And I can feel my ears getting deaf as I hear nothing anymore but the loud thumping of my heart, as if it will jump out of my chest. Not even the girls shrieking for reasons I don’t know. Jealousy? Giddiness? And then I realize I don’t care and I shouldn’t. He was in front of me for macaroni’s sake and all I can do is admire the demigod whose face is barely an inch apart.

Dug dug. Dug dug.

“You’re so beautiful.”

I just couldn’t help but comment. I mean, I know it was supposed to be a compliment for a girl, but then he is an exception and it’s true.

“I should be saying that.

He chuckles softly. And I can feel his warm breath against my lips. The proximity is killing me, literally and figuratively.

“Tell me this is just a dream.”

 

“Yes noona, you’re definitely dreaming! Now get your up!”

Park Chanyeol I swear I’ll tear you to pieces! He was holding a megaphone and he laughs on it right on my ear! I suddenly jolted right up from my bed as he just ruined my picture perfect dream. Why does he always have to appear at the perfect timing?

“Come here you brat!”

I threw a pillow at him and I hit his head before he could run any further. He’s really such a jinx in my life! Well…most of the time but yeah I still love him. If I were given a chance to pick a brother… I would still choose him even though he is unbearably mischievous at times.

He was nursing his nape when I pounced on his back and strangled him. Yeah we used to play wrestling back then because my brothers and I used to watch them.

“You’re both going to be late.”

Jaebom mumbled as he coolly passed by my room with his huge headphones on and Chanyeol and I scurried down the stairs, racing with each other to the dining hall.

And there we found Yoochun oppa sitting there with a cup of coffee in one hand and the other holding a broadsheet newspaper. He’s probably up for the business section. The stock exchange specifically. It’s so early in the morning and yet he is ready to face it with gazillions of mind-swirling numbers. I just couldn’t imagine myself acting like one too after finishing my degree. Grown ups world. Darn they seem…dull.

“Good morning.” He closes the newspaper and puts it down the side just as when the three of us are already settled in our own seats. The table is already set.

“Good morning.” Jaebom, Chanyeol and I replied in unison. The first one was cool, the second was too happy and mine was just normal.

“Shin, are you ready to take Yeol on a tour to your university?” Yoochun asked and I just smiled weakly in response before slipping a slice of bacon in my mouth.

It’s only the four of us currently living in our house and this has been the set up for quite a long time now. Yoochun is the one acting as the head of the family, taking care of us and our mess, and working an investment bank as a senior financial analyst. Such a responsible man. I hope he finds a woman worthy of him. Ever since our parents flew to London when he was 15, he became our mother and father. Jaebom on the other hand, works as a DJ at night and owns a small studio where he records his songs during the day. And then there’s Chanyeol and I, the dependents, still studying our up in college. I am in my senior year and he is a freshman.

“Oh c’mon be a nice big sister to your cute little brother.” Chanyeol grinned widely, his ever infectious grin made me chuckle as he even made puppy eyes with me. I admit. He is irresistible still.

“You’re not little anymore and you’re not little to begin with you Eiffel tower!” I ruffled his hair messily and stuck a tongue out at him. It would be redundant to tell him to grow up because he is already tall, no, too tall! But I wish he’d mature just a bit like that of Yoochun’s mindset.

Our parents are both working abroad because they want us to live comfortably and have a good quality education in a prestigious school. It was Jaebom oppa who quit college because he says it’s not really his thing. Our mom and dad were very disappointed but nevertheless they knew he couldn’t let him be just that. They gave him their hard-earned money worth $10 million won and let him put it to a profitable use so he can later pay them back.

I envy him, really. Because he gets to do what he wants and he regretted nothing of it. Life was kind of hard for him, but he doesn’t seem to mind it. While here I am, still pretty much unsure of what to do or what I want in life. I am taking up Business Management because, well, it’s a course that people usually take so I just kind of get along with them. I’ve been doing well. I have to, since I don’t really want to waste our parent’s sacrifices. It’s not just the money. It’s their love and care for us.

It has been two years already since he decided to put up that recording studio and it’s been doing fine since people rent his place as musicians and music-enthusiasts go there to record songs of their own. His income was barely enough and so he had to work at night since he still had to pay for the capital. It’s been two years but all Jaebom says that he loves what he does and so he doesn’t really find it that tiresome.

“Oh yeah that’s right! Good luck on your first day bro! Hope you’ll last til graduation day.” Jaebom knocked his fists with Chanyeol as they sat in front of each other. They get along well the most because they both share the same interest in hip-hop.

Chanyeol is going to study Computer Science because he dreamt that someday he’ll be able to create a game that will be even more famous than Dota, Flappy bird, Angry Bird, Plants vs. Zombies and the like. He is a computer gaming addict that I had to buy him special glasses as a present that will protect his eyes from the harsh lighting of computer at night.

I glanced at them and I smiled. I’m just really happy to have brothers like them. I can’t help but be thankful that they are my family. I sighed dreamily before eating my pancake.

“You’re so beautiful~ Eew. Are you a lesbian?”

Really now, Chanyeol? You’re just…uggh! You really know how to ruin a moment!

“HELL NO!” I almost spit out the orange juice I was about to sip.

“Have you been talking in your sleep again?” Yoochun asked with a bit of worry in his tone.

“I’m fine, really. It was actually a romantic dream until this fella yelled at me! With his megaphone!”

I whined before glaring at the younger. I just couldn’t help but feel frustrated everytime I remember it that I raked two hands on my hair. Two hands! I am that frustrated!  But it reminds me…

I have to write a one-shot fic about it!  That’s right I’ll do it first thing after going home from school. My subber, emotional-me will certainly like this! He/she is my number one subscriber in aff just so you know. I don’t really personal know him/her. Hell I don’t even know his/her real gender. I couldn’t really tell from his username but we are getting along well, talking in pm and wall posts and he/she comments a lot on my stories. We are just both a certified BOICE, specifically Yong Hwa biased.

“Whatever you are, Shin. We still love you.” Jaebom gave me a reassuring smile. I don’t really know and I’m not sure whether I should be touched or if I should walk out. They’re being too much!

“I am not a lesbian okay? I’m straight as a flagpole!” I continued defending myself just because.

“Don’t be too sure about it. There’s this girl in our class…”

I stuffed a slice of bread on Chanyeol’s mouth to shut him up because I don’t care, I’m not a lesbian and we don’t have enough time. I dragged him out of the dining room and up to the stairs so we could prepare for school in our rooms.

“You really never know, sis. My teacher said that one is born a biual.”

“Shut up or else…”

“And don’t you dare steal Sulli from me. She’s mine okay?”

Now he’s talking about our neighbor slash his long-time crush slash childhood friend. He is too slow with girls, no, with this girl. He only liked her ever since.

“Oh really? You haven’t even told her of your feelings yet! What are you waiting for, huh?”

“I’m still just…taking my time to prepare and ask her to be mine.”

Such a wimp. I tried helping him before but everytime he is supposed to have the chance, he will suddenly back out last minute.

“Whatever. Prepare for school first before looking for a girl.”

“Same to you.”

He said and shut the door of his room that was beside mine before I could even fight back. This guy really. I just snorted a laugh and shook my head in disbelief. He just didn’t know when to shut up.

Author’s Note: HELLO EVERYONE! AFTER 12325432453 YEARS I FINALLY UPDATED! I AM REALLY SORRY THAT I MADE YOU WAIT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR T___T LIKE, I POSTED THE FOREWORD OF THIS FIC ON SEPT 2012! OTL FORGIVE MEH~

But anyway, back to the fic. How was it people? Did you have fun reading it? I am making Chanyeol x Sulli as the minor pairing here. I’m still thinking if I’ll also put Jay x Ailee and Yoochun x Eunhye here. I missed writing romcom stories and so I wrote this chap. And I kind of tweaked the story a bit since I originally planned for Shin Hye to have strict parents but now she has three overprotective brothers XD

I know I still have two other fics to update but I promised myself I’ll also be working on a sulli x exo fic really really soon! All I have to do is wait for my graduation and then I’ll finally be free. I just need one paper to submit before I can call it a day from my college life. OTL I’ll miss my friends and I feel so old because I’m turning 20 next week! /clings to teenage years/

But anyway… have a nice day everyone!
