We're one short

Falling for the Straight Guy

No one's POV: 

"Are you sure it's alright?" Jongin asked and Kyungsoo sighed for the umpteenth time that morning 
"Yes Jongin it's fine" he replied and Jongin nodded his head 
"I feel kind of guilty" he muttered but Kyungsoo waved the comment away 
"It's fine, I know what it's like to have stuff thrown on me at the last minute" he said 
"But we've had this planned for over two months now" Jongin replied 
"And I said it was fine didn't I? Now stop worrying, we have to get to our class before we're late" Kyungsoo said and Jongin nodded, with that the two made their way down the hall in silence. 

So what was this that Jongin and Kyungsoo were fussing over? Well it's kind of a weird thing they did every second Friday of October. After school the two along with their friends would go back to either Jongin or Kyungsoo's house and watch films the whole night. Takeaway or pizza's would be ordered and the group would pig out, stay up until late at night and give their parents a headache. Jongin and Kyungsoo had been doing this since they were eight years old, of course then they had bed times they had to stick to, and carried it on even when new people joined the group. The event stupidly enough is planned months in advance so they have back ups and actual plans of what will happen if things go wrong on the actual day. But this year? Jongin had to cancel on Kyungsoo on the last minute. The reason? His girlfriend was dragging him to a party her parents were hosting and wanted to introduce him to all the 'important' people she knew. 

"He needs to learn the word no when it comes to her" Chanyeol said when Kyungsoo explained to him and Sehun what had happened
"Well you know how annoying she is and how she acts when Jongin tries to" Kyungsoo replied and the other two nodded before sighing. Since February Jongin had this girlfriend of his. Her name? Krystal Jung. The girl with two completly different personalities. In front of Jongin she acted like an angel, always complimenting him and acting like the world's best girlfriend. When she's not around him? She is the school's super ; walking around like she owns the place, talking about people behind their backs and overall just being plain mean. Not to mention she has complete control over Jongin, making him come to events he doesn't want to go to and sticking around him all the time in school so he hardly gets to sit with his friends. 

"I heard the other day she shouted at a first year just because the poor kid looked at her and made eye contact" Sehun said 
"Really?" Chanyeol asked and Sehun nodded
"Poor kid" Kyungsoo muttered and the bell sounded. The three of them sat back and watched as students rushed into the class and hurried to their seats to avoid being caught by the teacher and getting in trouble. The last of the students, Kim Joonmyun, scurried into the class and started running to his seat... only to have Krystal trip him up and he fell to the ground, his books scattering around the room and have Krystal and a few other students in the class laugh at him whilst Jongin rolled his eyes and helped Joonmyun out. Nobody knew why but Krystal targeted Joonmyun a lot! He had joined the school in January of the school term just gone, at first nobody spoke to him what with the books he always carried and thick glasses he wore... he was classified a geek and nobody wants to be friends with a geek do they?

"Here you go" Jongin said as he handed Joonmyun the last of his books 
"Th-thanks" Joonmyun muttered as he took the book and scurried towards a seat at the back and Jongin turned to Krystal 
"What did you do that for? He didn't deserve that" he said
"I-I didn't mean to he tripped over my foot by accident as he walked past" Krystal replied 
"And so you laughed at him?" Jongin asked and turned away, ignoring anything Krystal tried to say to him. Meanwhile Kyungsoo, Chanyeol and Sehun had watched what had happened, turning to each other frowning. Why didn't Jongin just get up and walk away? Was he afraid of Krystal just as much as everyone else because of what she was capable of? 

------

"Good morning" the teacher said in English as the class filed in and took their seats 
"Mind if I sit with you?" Jongin asked
"If Krystal will let you" Kyungsoo replied and Jongin sighed 
"She's not that bad" he said 
"If she's not that bad, why didn't you just say no to going to that party tonight? Or come sit with us for one day then sit with her the next?" Kyungsoo asked but before Jongin could answer, Krystal had wondered over and took him by the arm 
"Come on there are some seats at the back" and with that he's lead of whilst Kyungsoo takes his seat sighing. 

"I-is anyone sitting there?" a voice asks and when Kyungsoo looks up, see's Joonmyun pointing to the seat across from him 
"Go ahead" Kyungsoo replied and Joonmyun nods before sitting down 
"Thanks" he says and Kyungsoo nods before the teacher gets up to start the lesson. One explanation of what to do and thick accents later, the class are finally doing something 'productive' than what they do in other lessons; asking their partner any questions that popped into their mind 
"Why does Krystal always pick you?" Kyungsoo asked and Joonmyun paused for a second to process the question before shrugging his shoulders 
"She always pick on me" he replied 
"Why?" Kyungsoo asked 
"She a " Joonmyun muttered and both of them started laughing. 

"That's true" Kyungsoo muttered and Joonmyun nodded 
"English boys" the teacher said as he walked past
"Do you want to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" Kyungsoo asked, ignoring what the teacher had just said to him 
"You really want me hanging out with you?" Joonmyun asked 
"No offense, but you look pretty lonely, plus me and my friends don't bite... although Chanyeol may scare you with his hyperactive nature" Kyungsoo replied
"No thanks, I would like to but I have essays that need doing" Joonmyun said 
"So you spend every lunch in the library?" Kyungsoo asked and Joonmyun nodded his head
"It's normal for me"...

------

"Right the plan of action is that me and Sehun are going to go home, change and grab our stuff. I'll meet Baekhyun at the park and then we'll all be over" Chanyeol said at the end of the day as the three of them made their way out of the school
"My parents are going out to visit some of dad's workmates, so you can be as noisy as possible until... I would say midnight" Kyungsoo replied and Chanyeol pouted
"I am not that noisy" Chanyeol muttered 
"Yes you are" Sehun replied and Chanyeol shot him a glare whilst the other two laughed it of and they went their separate ways.

"So make sure you're at mine by five" Krystal said
"I already said I was going" Jongin replied
"Why are you so moody?" Krystal asked
"Well it's not like I want to come to this thing is it?" Jongin replied
"Are you still sulking about the fact that you had to cancel your plans with Kyunggoo?" Krystal asked
"Kyungsoo" Jongin replied and Krystal rolled her eyes
"Look there are plenty of other nights to spend with him and the others and trust me you'll enjoy tonight" she said and walked away whilst Jongin sighed and made his own way home.

------

"Everybody ready for tonight?" Kyungsoo's mum asked
"Yeah, but we're one short tonight" Kyungsoo replied
"Why is that?"
"Jongin cancelled to go to a party" Kyungsoo replied and made his way up to his room before his mum could question him some more. Once in his room, he looked around and sighed. It was a mess! And unless he did some quick last minute cleaning, Chanyeol was going to make it even more messier once the fizzy stuff kicked in. 

"Kyungsoo" a voice said and said guy paused before he walked across to his window and looked out. There sitting on their window ledge next door was Kyungsoo's friend Bongcha. The two had been neighbours since Bongcha moved in four years ago and the two have been friends since, the only times they really get to talk is sitting by their windows and talking there. 
"When did you get back?" Kyungsoo asked
"Very late last night and I've done nothing but sleep since" Bongcha replied and Kyungsoo smiled
"So I take it you're not coming over tonight?" he asked
"Let me guess; second Friday of October... it's movie night... I would love to but I am so tired" Bongcha replied and Kyungsoo waved the comment away. 

"Don't worry we'll make ours another night" he said and Bongcha nodded before she remembered something
"From Mexico with love" she said as she passed over a sombrero and shakers
"Oh boy when Chanyeol see's this he's going to enjoy it to much" Kyungsoo said as he placed the sombrero on his head 
"To much" Bongcha added and the two of them began to laugh 
"Kyungsoo, Chanyeol and Sehun are here" Kyungsoo's mum called
"Uh oh" Kyungsoo muttered and before he could do anything Chanyeol, Sehun and Baekhyun had burst into the room. 

"Wow this room is messy" Sehun said
"W-well I-" 
"And why are you wearing a sombrero?" Chanyeol asked
"Uhh..." Kyungsoo began and looked over to see Bongcha wave and walk away laughing 
"Do you want to try it?" Kyungsoo asked
"Heck yeah!" Chanyeol replied and ran over to take the sombrero whilst Kyungsoo sighed in relief.


Hey guys!! :D 

So this is the first chapter. Sorry if it was boring but I am kind of horrible and writing a first chapter 
And don't worry, I didn't throw in Joonmyun and Bongcha for no reason, they have importance to the story in future chapters!

Until the next chapter!
