Drowning the Rat

From Nobody to Somebody[HIATUS]

U-KISS- Love of a Friend

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Alright, so I'll be back in two days, Hyunkyun-ssi and Sunghwan-ssi said that if you needed anything that you could give them a call provided they're not astronomically busy-"

"Unnie I'll be fine," Miyong laughed, patting the woman on the shoulders. "I know how busy everyone is so I'll do my best to stay out of trouble, I promise."

Sil Lo couldn't help but smile and nod at the idol, patting her head before heading out the door.

Miyong waved at her through the front window as she drove off, closing the curtain once her manager was out of sight.

"My babies~~" she cooed, quickly picking up China and cradling her in her arms. "Are you hungry my kitties~? I bet you are~♪ Umma will get you some nummies for your tummies right now~"

Velma and Dexter, at the mention of food, began meowing and following her up the stairs to the kitchen, China purring and nuzzling into the girl's neck.

Miyong placed the Shorthair on the floor and pulled out the food bag, the cats instantly rubbing up against her legs and stretching up her leg to bat at her knee.

"Yes yes you silly things, I'm feeding you," Miyong laughed, pouring the food into each dish.

"Georgieo~ Viddles~~" she sang, pouring food into his bowl as well.

When the Tabby didn't emerge she rolled her eyes and stepped over the other three and entered her manager's room. As per the daily routine, the Garfield look-alike was sprawled out at the foot of the bed, eyes half open and staring right at her.

"Aigoo my sausage~!" she cooed, crawling up onto the bed and picking him up.

The cat gave a deep meow in slight protest, but didn't fight against his owner's hold, especially when she cradled him like a baby and rubbed his large belly.

"Uh-oh, it's squishy again, does that mean there's room for some more nummies~? C'mon, Umma will even carry his royal highness right to his bowl," she laughed, wiggling her way off of the bed and returning to the kitchen.

She placed the feline in front of his bowl and he began to eat, Velma, Dexter and China having had their fill and were either lounging around or cleaning themselves.

"It's going to be so boring without Unnie here… not that you guys aren't wonderful company or anything…"

Miyong sighed and squatted down and began petting George as he ate, the Tabby not caring one way or another. Her eyes drifted over towards the closet, her coat calling out to her to go somewhere.

"But where do I go-"

Miyong's eyes brightened when she remembered her check had come not a week ago and bolted over to the closet pulling her coat out and slipping it on with a grin. However, when she realized she was still in her pajamas, she pouted, pulled the jacket off, and dashed down the stairs to her room, Dexter playfully following after her.

"Boo!" she grinned, suddenly sticking her head around the corner of the stairs.

The Siberian jumped slightly, then cocked his head to the side and sat on the step, staring at her with his blue eyes.

"Nawww, my Ulzzang kitty~!" she cooed, reaching up and picking the feline up. "Umma will be back from shopping very soon, but I'll ask Halmeoni to watch over you guys just in case."

Dexter, seeming to understand his owner's words, began purring and nudged his face against her cheek.

Miyong placed him on the ground and walked into her room, the Siberian right behind her. She quickly undressed and threw on a shirt, one of her many tutu skirts, a pair of pink and black skull thigh-highs, fingerless mittens, and her Super Mario earring.

She slipped her coat back on, playfully jumped over Dexter and picked up her purse by the door while slipping on her shoes.

"Alright guys, I'll be back later, take care of each other~!" she sang, grabbing her keys, closing and locking the door behind her.

Quickly skipping over the grass to her neighbour's house, she knocked on the door and bounced on the spot as she heard movement inside.

"Ah! Miyong-ah~ going out on another excursion?" the elder asked with a crinkled smile once the door was open.

"Ne, and I was wondering if while I'm away Halmeoni could take care of my kitties again~" Miyong requested, smiling back.

"Of course I will child," the woman laughed. "I'll make certain that George gets his four meals."

"Kansamnibda~!" she thanked with a bow.

The elder watched as she skipped back to her property and climbed into her car.

"Now Crow, let's play nice today and Mei Hwa will buy you something nice, alright?" Miyong spoke, placing the key in the ignition.

The car's engine revved a couple times but started, Miyong petting the steering wheel with an affectionate smile. "What a good boy~"

Putting the car in reverse, she back out and drove down the street, waving to her neighbour who watched her with a smile.

"Ah~ Off to shop off to shop~!" she sang. "It that the guys are off playing somewhere, I would have invited Zitao…"

She shrugged and began humming a random tune while continuing down the road. Her happy mood was dampened however when she noticed construction signs up ahead, blocking the main road. With a pout, she took the detour, following a car in front of her until things stopped looking familiar.

"Oh boy… Toto I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," she groaned once buildings began to disappear, replaced with open fields.

Miyong pulled over and dug around in her glove box, pulling out a map and flipping it open.

"Alright… now where am I…?"

She skimmed the map for a couple minutes, her brows creasing when she realized that she was indeed utterly lost.

"Maybe if I just turn around I can find my way back…"

Doing just that, the idol continued down the road, only to become more and more aggravated.

"You've got to be kidding me! I can't be that lost! There's no way my luck is that bad!" she barked, smacking the steering wheel.

As if a form of retaliation from the hit, the car's engine began to sputter, Miyong's eyes widening.

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no! Baby don't do this to meeeee!"

When the car came to a silent stop, Miyong whimpered and allowed her head to fall onto the wheel, a small honk sounding as her forehead hit the horn.

"Today was supposed to be a good day, but now it just ! I wanted to go shopping and I get lost and stranded! Talk about raining on my parade…"

A light tap on her windshield made the girl lift her head, her eyes instantly widening then forming into a glare.

"I DIDN'T MEAN THAT LITTERALLY!!" she yelled as the raindrops continued to hit her window.

With a huff she opened her car door and placed her emergency flashlight in the back window, the red light flashing to tell others that she was there, popped the hood and rolled up her sleeves.

"Alright Crow, now what's all this nonsense about that you have to be a royal pain in my so suddenly…"

She bent over and began checking the oil, the gas tank, the whole nine yards, but failed to find anything wrong with the vehicle. When she did another quick check over the contents however, she noticed something sticking out of the engine. Before she could reach in to inspect it however, the rain got harder making her shriek at the sudden cold hitting her skin.

"Do you mind!?" she yelled up at the sky. "I'm trying to fix my car if you hadn't noticed!"

The sky gave a faint boom in response making Miyong pout.

She shut the hood with a huff and held her arms out at her side, noticing that she was already soaked to the bone. With a sigh she climbed back into her car, instantly feeling uncomfortable sitting in wet clothes, and pulled out her phone from her purse. She slid it open only for the screen to stay black. She raised an eyebrow and slid it open and closed a few times before hitting the power button. The device booted up only to show "Low Battery" and shutting off again.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!" she shrieked.

With an aggravated scream she threw the phone back into her purse and placed her face in her hands, letting out a distressed sob.

"I never should have left the house…."

-=-=-

Chen's eyes trailed out the window, watching the rain travel down the window with a bored expression as the others spoke animatedly to each other. He raised an eyebrow when he saw a single flashing red light coming up and figured someone had broken down. His eyes widened however when he saw the familiar licence plate on the familiar car.

"STOP THE BUS!" he shouted, jumping up from his seat.

The driver slammed on the breaks and everyone lurched forward with a yelp as Chen ran to the front of the bus and pushed the doors open.

" Chen what are you doing!?" Hyunkyun barked, trying to follow after him.

"What is he doing??" Chanyeol questioned, trying to look around Baekhyun through the window.

"There's a car down there that looks like it broke down or something…" Sehun claimed, watching the man knock on the driver's window.

"Ah! That car!!" Kai yelped, his eyes widening.

-

Miyong was busy grumbling at herself for being a buffoon when there was a knock on her window making her jump. She spun her head to see a drenched Chen squinting at her through the rain.

"Jongdae!? What are you doing here??" she yelped after rolling down her window.

"We were coming back from a concert and I saw your car, are you alright??" he asked, quickly looking her over for any possible injuries.

"Crow died on me," she pouted, smacking the steering wheel. "And since my phone apparently decided to go on the suicide mission with him I've just been sitting here hoping for the rain to stop so I can try to find  a payphone or something…"

"Well you don't need to wait anymore; we'll take you back," he claimed, reaching in to the car to unlock the door.

"What!?! Jongdae I can't just leave my car here!" she yelped as he opened the door.

"I'll call someone to come and get it, but right now we have to get you off of the side of the road and out of the rain," he replied, his eyes softening when he realized that she was already soaking wet herself.

The girl sighed, realizing she had no choice and took his hand to help her out of the car. Chen quickly lead her back to the bus, Kai and M's manager, Hyunkyun having pulled out dry towels and quickly wrapping the two in them.

"Ah, Noona you look like a drowned rat!" Kai whimpered, quickly tightening the towel around her.

"Thanks for that Jongin, because you know, my car breaking down in time for a downpour didn't put a damper on my mood enough…" she muttered, giving him an unimpressed look.

Kai gave her a sheepish smile as he allowed her to pass him to further enter the bus, their manager fussing over Chen and his own drowned rat look.

"Miyong! You look like you're freezing!" Chanyeol yelped as she walked towards the boys.

"That's because it's so freaking cold in here!" she whimpered, rubbing her arms for some kind of warmth.

Xiumin stood from his spot and took off his jacket, putting it over her shoulders as the others began to rifle through their bags for anything that could help.

"Does the bus have an outlet or something?" Luhan asked, looking around his seat.

"I don't think so, why?" Lay asked, turning back to him.

"Because I have a hair dryer…"

The boys gave a small round of chuckles. Chen walked over to the trio as the bus started moving again and gave Miyong a concerned look; her skin had gotten considerably more pale and her teeth were chattering.

"It doesn't help that her clothes are soaked," he sighed, noticing that no matter how much Kai patted her down, her clothes didn't stop sticking to her skin. An idea suddenly popped into his head and he looked out to the others. "Who feels like being a heater?"

"A heater?"

"Body heat will work better than a towel and a jacket," Kris explained.

"I'll do it," Chanyeol offered, shifting his bag back under his seat.

Miyong was lead over to his and Baekhyun's seat and she sat down on his lap, Chanyeol's arms instantly wrapping around her and pulling her into his chest. "Aish, what would you do without me Pabo," he teased, rubbing her arms.

Miyong didn't reply, trying to burrow into Chanyeol's warmth as Baekhyun toweled off her hair.

-=-

The ride back to EXO's dorm was mainly silent, the boys all having their eyes trained on a shivering Miyong. When they finally pulled up, Miyong was quickly toted up to their dorm by the boys, and as soon as they walked in, Kris took her by the shoulders and lead her towards the bathroom.

"Go have a nice hot shower, we'll scrounge up something for you to wear," he claimed, flicking the light on and gently pushing her in.

Miyong nodded and closed the door behind her.

Stripping and stepping into the shower, she allowed the hot water to hit her frozen skin, rubbing her hands together under the stream to try and get the feeling back in them. She quickly washed her hair and turned the water off, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around herself. Just as she stepped out of the shower someone knocked on the door.

"Hey Miyong I got you som-"

Kris was cut off when Miyong opened the door. His face instantly turned scarlet and spun his head around so he wasn't looking at her, ing his arm towards her with the clothes.

"H-Here! They were the b-best we could find!" he stammered.

Miyong couldn't help but giggle, taking the clothes from him. "Thank you Kris."

She shut the door again, but not before hearing one of the boys whistle from the living room.

She quickly slipped on the large white and brown striped shirt(which she figured was Kris's as it nearly fell to her knees it was so long) and a pair of sweatpants. She bundled up her wet clothes and came out of the bathroom, walking into the living room.

"Awww~ I liked you better in a towel~!" Chen whined, giving her a teasing wink.

"I'm sure you did Jongdae, considering it's the closest thing you've probably been to a girl," she huffed, her cheeks gaining a slight pink.

The boys all burst out laughing as Chen gave her a miffed look.

Miyong turned to Suho as he walked over to her. "Do you have a dryer I can steal?"

"Yeah, here, I'll put them in," the leader offered, taking the damp clothing from her.

Miyong gave him a nod in thanks and looked back over to the boys.

"Mei-mei, come here and I'll fix your hair," Luhan called, waving her over.

The girl walked over as Luhan shifted so he was sitting on the back of the couch, Miyong sitting on the couch between his feet. The older boy quickly took her hair and began to run a brush through it as Kai sprawled onto her lap, Miyong looking down at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yah you! You think after calling me a drowned rat that you can lay on me?" she huffed.

"Noona I'm sorry~~!" he whined as she tried to push him off of her.

She gave him another firm push and Kai landed on the floor with a yelp, pouting up at her as a couple of the boys snickered.

"Ya Hyung, are you still pink?" Chanyeol teased, nudging Kris in the ribs.

Kris gave him a glare as Miyong turned to give him a questioning look, this only making his face gain more pink. Miyong's attention was shifted from him to Xiumin as the older walked into the room and sat on the couch next to her.

"So are you feeling better now that you're not turning into a popsicle?" he asked with a small laugh while handing her a nice cup of hot tea.

"Yes and it helps that you're here Oppa~" she cooed, instantly latching onto his arm.

"Ya, stop moving around or I'll tug your hair out!" Luhan scolded, pulling the strands slightly to get his point across.

Miyong gave a short whine but didn't move, rubbing her cheek against Xiumin's shoulder as he chuckled.

"So how come Xiumin-hyung can be near you but I can't?!" Kai whined from the floor.

"Minseok-oppa didn't call me a drowned rat you ungrateful dongsaeng!" Miyong huffed, giving him an unimpressed look.

Kai pouted and crossed his arms over his chest as the others laughed. Xiumin shifted slightly, managing to unlatch the girl from his arm so he could slide it across her shoulders, Miyong instantly wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Ya, you two better not start any baby making over there!" Baekhyun laughed.

Xiumin's face went pink and glared over at his dongsaeng while Miyong laughed, not relinquishing her hold on his waist.

"Miyong-ssi, I called Sil Lo-ssi for you and told her what happened. She said that she can't make it back until tomorrow night…" K's manager, Seunghwan, claimed, walking into the living room.

"Whoo! Sleep over!!" Tao whooped, throwing his hands up in the air.

"That's a lovely idea… now who's sleeping on the couch…" D.O. sighed.

The idols were silent as everyone began exchanging looks with each other.

"I don't mind-"

"I nominate Kai!" Sehun cheered.

"I nominate Sehun!"

"YA!"

"Guys stop fighting!"

Miyong sighed and shifted so that she was sitting properly on the couch, Luhan finishing up with her hair and patting her shoulder with a smile.

"Guys seriously-"

"Why doesn't she sleep with Xiumin again," Luhan teased, leaning over to grin at the Korean.

"I'LL SLEEP ON THE COUCH!" Miyong yelled, her face a nice shade of pink.

"What!? We can't make you sleep on the couch Noona; you're our guest!" Kai booed.

"And you guys just got back from a performance; you're all tired and sore, so I'll sleep on the couch while you guys get some good night's rest," Miyong stated, giving each of them a firm look.

"I would feel better if you slept in a bed…" Xiumin dared, shifting his gaze towards her.

Miyong pouted and crossed her arms over her chest in determination making him and the others sigh. 



The stubbornness of Miyong strikes again.
