CHAPTER 18 ****** WHAT TO DO?
“What do you want for breakfast?” Daehyun asked when I’d finally woken up enough to drag my lazy into the kitchen, I groaned and plopped onto the chair before putting my forehead against the cold table. “I take that as cereal?” he said slightly smiling, I nodded against the table and lifted my head but keeping my tired eyes closed
“What are we doing today again?” I asked half asleep, Daehyun chuckled and poured milk into my cereal that B.A.P had managed to get hold of. He put the bowl in front of me and took out the toast from the toaster, he sat down after buttering it and looked at me amused
“Do you remember much of yesterday?” he looked like he was enjoying me suffering, I nodded weakly and scoffed a huge spoonful of cereal.
“I got attacked, you took me to the hospital, we came back, my friends invaded and then Taesung rang ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT” I shouted totally irritated at the fact I’ve had a small amount of sleep. He nodded and yawned after I talked about sleep, he looked cute when he was tired.
“You think I’m cute?” he said raising an eyebrow in surprise, I looked at him shock and then avoided his eye’s blushing like a ripe tomato. “Your just so adorable Yejin, your thoughts on the other hand are surprisingly…” he wiggles his eyebrows and laughed at my extremely flustered expression. “Mianhae, but it’s the truth, you are really y in your head, I’ve seen all your dreams and fantasies”… JUNG DAEHYUN YOU’RE AN EVIL ANGEL, I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S EVEN POSSIBLE BUT YOU ARE.
“Hyung what’s wrong with Yejin? She looks all red and sweaty?” Zelo said in a panic as he came over to me, he put his hand on my cheek and gasped. “Your boiling Yejin, we need to take you to the doctor” he shouted pulling on my hand, I shook my head and tried to talk but I was too embarrassed
“Zelo let her go, I’m just making her flustered that’s all, she’s red because she’s too easy to tease” Daehyun laughed again took a bite out of his toast, this is war.
“Really oppa? Well how about this” I stood up and took off my dressing gown, underneath I was wearing one of his t-shirts which was huge on me, and my underwear. I opened it so only Daehyun could see, he choked on his toast and tipped back in his seat. I fastened my dressing gown and took my cereal back to my room, he got what he deserves, messing me around like that. Who does he think he is?
“I’m an angel” Daehyun’s amused voice chimed in my ear, I almost dropped my cereal in shock, what was he doing creeping up on me like that? “Mianhae but after what you showed me do you really think that I’d leave you alone?” he whispered along my neck, I shivered and walked away from him
“Your under punishment” I mumbled not able to think of any other way of telling him, he chuckled and put his hands on his waist and smiled
“Under punishment? What’s that?” he laughed while taking a step towards me, I took a step back and blobbed my tongue out, “very mature” he said slightly less happily
“Under punishment means no kissing, no hugging, no holding hands and complete ignorance for 24 hours” I said in a matter of fact voice, his smile fell into a sad expression.
“Yejin that’s a little much isn’t it?” he pleaded while getting down on his knees, “please Yejin I’m sorry and I’ll never do that again” he begged and begged until dinner time which is also the time that my friends came over.
“What happened to you and Daehyun?” my sister whispered in my ear when we were all sat at the dinner table, I blushed and finished eating my mouth full of sandwich.
“He was teasing me so I put him under punishment” my brothers hissed and gave Daehyun a sympathetic look, “it’s his fault not mine” I mumbled while looking at the extremely still Daehyun, he was looking blankly into space and his only movement was when he breathed
“Yejin that’s a bit too much isn’t it?” my brothers asked in unison, I looked at a sour looking Daehyun and nodded
“Maybe it is too much” I said crossing my arms in thought, his head snapped up and he looked at me with lively eyes, “okay just no kissing is that agreed?” I asked him and without hesitation he jumped up and ran over to me. He picked me up and went to kiss my but then remembered
“Kamsahamnida jagiya” he said with his handsome smile, I blushed and nodded while trying not to embarrass myself
“So we came over for dinner, what are we having?” Miyoung asked enthusiastically rubbing her hands together, I shrugged making her smile drop
“I thought you guys were coming over to have a talk, remember about my situation” I said pointing to the back of my head where the stitches were stinging.
“That is why we’re here but we were also hoping to eat one of your meals… you know coz you’re the best” my Mina said in her aegyo voice which made me want to throw up… I pulled a face and shook my head. I’m not in a cooking mood today, mostly because of my head but also that fact that there was a hater fan who hit me over the head with a brick and I wasn’t kept in hospital until I woke up… did they even send me to the hospital? Daehyun stiffened as he heard my thoughts, I looked at him and the others… they were awfully quiet.
“Actually guys if you don’t mind could you go ahead to my parent’s house, they want us to go and visit them because they’re worried about me” I lied, they nodded and left feeling confused. I looked to B.A.P and put my hands on my hips, “okay someone best start explaining before I hit someone” I said in a bossy voice. Zelo was the first to cave in
“We didn’t take you to the hospital, we got our private doctor to stitch you up” he blurted in a loud voice, his hyungs gave him an angry look making Zelo look down in guilt
“It’s okay you did good Zelo, don’t listen to your naughty hyungs, they’re the bad people that will corrupt you” I said taking a sad Zelo’s hand, the members looked like they were 5 years old and were being scolded by their grandma.
“We’re sorry Yejin” they apologised like elementary school children, I smiled a little and cleared my throat to try and make me look tough
“Okay then first things first, I have to feed Mato” I said looking around for my little pup, she was laid down on Yongguk’s favourite chair, Yongguk was eyeing the comfy looking dog
“She stole my seat” he pouted while pointing at a very innocent looking Mato, I walked over to the puppy and picked her up, she gave me a little whine but soon gave up when I walked her over to her bowls
“Are you happy that you have Mato back?” Daehyun asked while wrapping his arms around my waist, I nodded happily and poured Mato’s food into her pink plastic bowl.
“But she’s grown so much, it’s unbelievable” I mused at Mato who’s head was just below my knee, “she’ll end up being taller then me soon” I pouted at the fact of being smaller then my own dog. Daehyun chuckled and put his hand over his mouth to try and hide his amused smile, I elbowed him lightly and silently got on with tending to Mato who was enjoying her chicken chunks
“I’m sorry for joking around, I am a joker though so I can never help myself” he said with one of his heart breaking half smiles, I looked away from him angelic face and concentrated on being in charge.
“I’m sorry for putting you under punishment, my head is all over the place, after all I do feel like a rag doll” I laughed while touching my stitches, I winced and groaned. I really hate being in pain, it annoys me more then the fact I got attacked by a noona fan which left me with stitches in the back of my head
“Oh yeah, Doctor Lee left you some painkillers, your supposed to take them when your pain starts up but your not allowed to have another until 5 hours after you had the first one” he said like he was reading it off of a piece of paper, he looked pleased with himself after he’d finished remembering.
“So where are the tablets?” I asked him which made his smile go away, he pecked his pockets and then looked around the room in panic
“Um, I forgot where I put them, one minute let me check” he mumbled while looking under the sofa, “I’m pretty sure it is in the living room” he said loudly which attracted a busy B.A.P member who came over and handed me the tablets from the coffee table draw
“He put them there and swore that he would remember” Jongup laughed before walking away… he was different just then… he didn’t seam as day dreamy as he usually does.
“Oh where did you find them?” Daehyun asked confused how I got the tablets in my hand, I pointed to the coffee table and he raised his head finally remembering where he’d put them
“Jongup got them me, I was actually quite shocked that he’s remembered something like that” I muttered while trying to open the box
“Actually Jongup does remember many things involving the people who’s around him the most, but he’s bad with new places and new faces, we always joke around with his lack of know how” Daehyun chuckled while getting up for from the floor
“I think it’s adorable” I smiled at the doorway Jongup had just disappeared down, “anyway I think we better have that talk soon, you’ve got a schedule to go to” I pointed to the board with all the schedules on it and he groaned
“Okay, everyone gather round, we’re having the talk now” Daehyun shouted through the place, in less then a second everyone was already sat down
“So I’ll start first” Himchan said standing up quickly, he cleared his throat and pulled out a few check cards which made the members groan. “Yejin you have all grown on us over the past few weeks and I am happy that you made it into our lonely lives, you have Daehyun as your love and we as your friends” he paused for dramatic effect which made me want to laugh. “But because of this you have been dragged into our celebrity world and we have put your life in danger, I think it would be best for you to not accept the trainee position and work at our company’s café near the TS main building. This way you can still see us everyday and still work for our company safely and away from crazy saesang fans” he nodded pleased with his speech and sat back down
“Thank you Himchan for your well put together speech” I said in a hesitant voice but it made him smile so I carried on, “I do want to work in music but the café position sounds good too, I have a barista licence from Jeju” I confessed which made Daehyun smile like a Cheshire cat.
“My turn” Youngjae also stood up but this time he had not cards ready, he smiled at me and put his hands together, “so Yejinnie like Himchan said I also think that your not ready for the KPOP world yet, if you become a trainee and still hang around with us you will be either loves or hated by our fans and it seams that the saesang fans hate you the most and we have quite a few of them” he sighed and rubbed his temples. “I guess what I’m trying to say is, work at the café and when we have stages you can come on with us and play instruments, just don’t take the trainee position, take it from those who have experience” he said with begging eyes, I nodded and he sat down with a worried smile.
“I guess I’m next” Jongup said standing up, the members looked at him with regretful expressions. “Yejin you’ve chosen to go out with hyung and that’s fine, but I think you didn’t think through what it would be like if you become his girlfriend and also a trainee, yes you have talent but I don’t see you as a full idol, you get stage fright which is very hard to train people out of. I also agree with Youngjae hyung, I think he knows the best” he said totally shocking everyone in the room, he sat down and went back into daydream mode
“Me now” Zelo stood up and looked down at me with grown up, strict eyes. “Yejin don’t take the trainee position, you are extremely talented but your not ready for the KPOP world yet, let the fans get used to you for now and when they’ve gotten to like you completely then I think you should accept the position… but hyung’s are right you do need a job to keep you busy so go with the café” he smiled at me and sat back down pleased with his advice… though it’s been the same as everyone else’s.
“Well I think it’s me next” Yongguk stood up and crossed his arms which made me a little scared, I’d not seen Yongguk like this before… “Yejin work at the café” he boomed and then sat back down and continued watching his movie… that was different…
“Well there’s only me left now” Daehyun sat standing up next to me, he took my hands and looked at me with a serious face… now this scared me… “Yejin you know I love you and this is why I’m saying these words, please don’t hate me for it” he begged and kissed my knuckles. “Jagiya, your not ready for the kpop world and it looks like the kpop world isn’t ready for you. I know you can take care of yourself with your gang genes running through you but yesterday you were completely useless, with saesang fans there’s no fighting back or we’ll get sued” he didn’t laugh or smile which made me really uncomfortable, I wasn’t used to being told off… it didn’t feel good.
“Please Yejin just stay a normal girl living a normal life, you can come on stage with us to perform when we have live stages like Youngjae said. I just don’t want to see you get hurt again, do you know how terrified I was yesterday? I was absolutely petrified and I felt completely useless, I couldn’t help you and I couldn’t do anything for you. So please just wait, okay?” he begged close to tears which made my eyes sting… I never thought that these guys were so worried about me, it made me feel needed for the first time ever.
“Okay I made my decision” I said in a small voice, I looked at me feet and sighed… I hope I’m making the right choice… I snapped my head up and opened my mouth to say something when the door slammed open, six girls in school uniform marched in and held their bat out to me.
“Yah, Cho Yejin fight me” she slurred like she was drunk… but then I recognised her face…
“Yoo Eunhye?” I gulped, she smiled smugly and nodded, she pointed to her white headband in her pale blonde dyed hair
“Yeah, and I’m the new leader of the doves, so sunbaenim, will you fight me? I’ve gotten a whole lot stronger then the last time we fought” she bragged while balancing the bat behind her neck, I shook my head and put my head in my hands
“Who are they?” Youngjae whispered to me, I looked at him and then at the impatient girls
“They’re my old gang, the white doves, I used to be their leader when I was in middle school and the first year of high school… but I retired from that group when I moved to Jeju. I will not fight you Eunhye” I stood up and pointed to the door. “So get out of this apartment building or I’ll have to ring the police” I shouted in my old gang voice, the followers winced at my familiar leader tone but Eunhye looked frustrated, she handed the bat to one of the followers and stepped towards me
“What have you done to yourself? Hanging around with idols? Living life in the slow lane? You hated the kpop industry, you hated living a normal life. Why don’t you come back?” she shouted in a wobbly voice, I shook my head and sat down on Daehyun’s knee
“I’m retired from fighting, I don’t want to get involved with gangs again, please leave or I’ll call the police” I said in a quiet voice, she screamed and stomped out of the dorm, I sighed in relief when the followers left and slammed the door behind them… B.A.P were looking at me with blank expressions, probably trying to wrap their heads around what had just happened… this is bad, if Eunhye knows I’m back then I really wont be left alone.
