Blushes and Talks

CHAPTER 31

"Blushes and Talks"

 

---

*HyunMi's POV*

 

Today is Friday. The 17th of November. And yes, tomorrow will be my Oppa's birthday. I can't wait for my big surprise for him tomorrow. It's been a very busy week for me. In school, at my part-time jobs, at the dorm... EVERYWHERE! D: I just had a hectic schedule.

 

I'm at school now. Praying time would be a bit faster. I was patiently sitting there, listening to our teacher's discussion, but I just want to end this. It's quite boring. -.- And I really want to see if Chansik-oppa successfully bought the headphones for Jinyoung. :D One thing why we came home a little late the other day, was because I just had to see the headphones myself at the mall. So after the check-up, I pleaded Shinwoo-oppa and Chansik-oppa to go there first. And luckily, we saw a store that sells those headphones. It was in the same price. Lucky me! :D

 

KRRIIIIIIIINGGG~!!!

 

Finally the school bell rang! I skipped outside of the classroom, all excited to go home, forgetting that I needed to wait for AnJi.

"Yah!" AnJi yelled at me, looking very angry. She doesn't easily get angry you know, but it's just...it's her monthly.. so yeah. MOOD SWINGS. =.=

"Omo. Mianhaeyo" I bowed at her.

"You're so giddy and bubbly today HyunMi. Wae???" Hyukjae spoke while appearing in front of us with Taemin. Before I could answer, Taemin suddenly spoke.

"It's because tomorrow is her boyfriend's birthday" he stressed the word. My cheeks just suddenly flushed bright red. I slapped him hard, hearing gasps from Hyukjae and AnJi.

 

They know what happens when I do that to Taemin. But I don't care now, I know that he can't do something that stupid to me. He pinned me a thousand times but didn't kissed or raped me. HAHA. Not that I want him to when he pins me down again... it's just, I'm used to it now.

 

Before Taemin could threaten me again. AnJi slapped me on the shoulders.

"Ya~ wae?!" I said while rubbing my victimed shoulder.

"Who's your boyfriend huh!?" she furiously asked. See, I told you... MOOD SWINGS. Aiish~ -.-

"Ya. You're taking it too seriously. I was just teasing" Taemin quickly said.

"Yeah right! Is there something that you're not telling me Lee HyunMi?!" she pointed

"Andwae! I don't have a boyfriend, arasseo?" I whined.

"Then who's birthday?" Hyukjae and AnJi asked in unison.

"Mwo?! You don't remember AnJi!? For the love of-- You're a Bana AnJi! A freaking Bana! You should know who's birthday is it!" I exclaimed. Taemin laughed at my reaction.

She thought very carefully... Then she finally remembered. She gave me an apologetic/disappointed look.

"I'm such a terrible Bana~" she cried. I lightly patted her shoulder.

 

"YAH! WHO'S BIRTHDAY IS IT!?!??!!?" Hyukjae asked loudly and impatiently. Taemin jumped at the loudness of Hyukjae's voice. He hit Hyukjae's head, not too hard, but Hyukjae still lost his balance and stumbled forward.

"Monkey! Stop being noisy all the time!" Taemin scolded. Hyukjae just stared at him and scratched the back of his head.

"It's Jinyoung-oppa's birthday~" I sang. "And I bought him something extra special~" I winked.

"Oh~ That explains Taemin's jealousy the other day." he stated.

I saw Taemin and AnJi's expression after Hyukjae said that. AnJi's eyes were widely opened in disbelief and fear. Taemin's was...well.. scary. He mumbled something to Hyukjae. He had his death stare aimed at him. Jaw tightened. Teeth clenched. Hands turned into hard fists. Hyukjae suddenly realized what he just said, and covered his mouth with his hand.

 

What the fuck is going on!? Okay great, I'm trash-talking like Taemin when he gets surprise. Thanks a lot Oppa. -.-

 

I looked Hyukjae once again and he had his... well... his 'I'm-gonna-die-soon-I-just-know-it!' expression. Then I glanced at Taemin, eyes were dark and quite...evil. That's why I don't like Taemin geetting mad. He's just so... evil and unpredictable. He's really pissed off right now, what's with him!?

 

Before he could beat the crap out of Hyukjae, I saved his life.

"HAHAH! Nice one Hyukie~!" I laughed loudly, of course it was just fake. I'm still confused with the stupid expressions they had a while ago. But I can't risk one of my besties life from Taemin-oppa.

"Mwo?" Hyukjae asked, confused at my sudden *slash* weird laughter.

"Well, it's not like Oppa will get completely jealous just because I'm giving Jinyoung a gift for his birthday, right?" I smiled. Well, it really isn't possible. Kekeke.

Everyone started to chuckle awkwardly. What the hell!? o.o

 

I notice Taemin cooling down. Jaws relaxed. Hands flat. But still had deadly eyes locked on Hyukjae.

I know that Taemin doesn't like Hyukjae teasing him to me, but what's with him!? O.O Does he have a monthly period as well? Well if he has, which I know would be impossible, that would explain the mood swings as well. -.-

 

"You're lucky" I heard Taemin mumbled again to Hyukjae. I felt Hyukjae being uncomfortable and scared with Taemin.  Pssh. This guys never change.

 

 

 

I arrived home. Early than I expected I would arrive. I left at school at 4pm. But I'm already here in just 15 minutes. Niceu. Kekek.

"CHANSIK OPPA~~~!!!" I sang as soon as I got inside. I skipped towards their room, all excited for the headphones, when I saw that he wasn't there.

"Omo. Where is he?" I asked no one.

"He went shopping" someone with a husky voice suddenly answered. It made me jump since no one had a husky, sexy voice like that. I turned around and saw Jinyoung close to me. Smiling and looking at me with he's beautiful phoenix eyes.

 

"O-oppa..." I stuttered. HyunMi, why are you stuttering!? O.O

"Ya, what's with the stuttering? It's only me." he chuckled.

That made me blush a little. I looked away from him, embarrassed. He walked pass me and sat on his bed.

"HyunMi-ah..." he called... with his weird voice again. No no. Not the husky one, but the weird voice that I don't quite understand. The voice that always make my heart skip a beat. And this time it did again.

"HyunMi-ah..." he spoke again with the tone and tapped his bed. Signaling me to sit with him. I took in a deep breath, I don't know why, and obeyed.

 

"W-wae?" I stuttered again. Again HyunMi... WAEYO!? >.<

"Kekek. Why are you stuttering?" he chuckled once more. And like a while ago, I blushed.

There was a short moment of silence.

Huh, that's strange. It's very rare for this dorm to be quiet...

Then I realize that we were the only ones in the dorm again. -.-

"Oppa, where are the others?" I asked, finally cutting the silence. He went over to the corner of his bed, where he leaned back on the wall.

"They all went along with Channie" he flashed a smile at me.

Ya! Jung Jinyoung! Stop it! It's making my heart melt!

"Geuraeseo?"

He simply nodded. Still smiling at me. It quite bothered me, but still... it makes my heart feel well.

 

Does he also smile like this when he's around Yuri-ssi? Omo, now to think of it. He's not with her now. I wonder why.

 

It started last week when he began hanging out with Yuri of SNSD. It was like they were having a date  everyday.

"Oppa... You don't have a d-date?" I asked awkwardly. His smile faded.

"Date?" he asked seriously and leaned away from the wall.

"N-ne. With Yuri-ssi..." I told him

"You think we're... dating?" he asked in surprise.

I looked away from him and shyly nodded in response

"HyunMi-ah, we're not dating..." he chuckled once. But I was serious. Agh. Stop being jelly and serious HyunMi. -.-

"Jeongmal?" I asked in a low voice, still looking away from him.

 

I felt him moving closer. I didn't bother to look. But suddenly, I felt a hand touching my right shoulder. It made my heart skip a beat. Heat running up my whole body. I can't believe that just one simple touch from him can make my heart pound this crazy.

 

"W-wae?" I manage to speak. I was still looking away from him. I couldn't hear my voice nor myself think because of the loud thumping that my heart was doing.

"Jinjja. We're NOT dating." he spoke in a sincere voice. "Why did you thought that we were dating?" he sounded very close now.

"Oh. N-nothing. It's just... you spent a lot of time with her since last week. And I just... kinda thought... you like her" I stated. I heard him let out a low chuckle.

"Wae? Jealous?" he teased... but there was also curiosity and seriousness in his voice.

It took me awhile to answer.

"Ne." I said in a joking tone as I grinned and looked at him. When I faced him, I didn't realize how close he was to me. As in TOO close! He was reading my eyes. My grin faded away.

 

"The truth is... I am really jealous Oppa. But of course, I can't tell you that now." I thought.

Suddenly, his eyes furrowed. Did my eyes just told him what I thought awhile ago?

I quickly looked away and cleared my throat.

 

He lightly squeezed my shoulder. It shocked me.

"HyunMi-ah..." he spoke with the tone again. I felt my heart racing up even more. The heat in body, rising.

"Do you really like Taemin?" he continued. I was surprised with his question. But I was more surprised with his tone. He sounded sad, and confused.

Why was his voice like that? Did he got affected when I told him that I like Taemin? Hmm... Of course not. He wouldn't be... right?

 

I wanted to tell him the truth. To say NO. But this stupid cat just caught my tongue. I was also frozen there, unable to shook my head. What's wrong with you HyunMi!? This is your chance to fix everything! Do it!

 

I was about to open my mouth when the hand that was on my right shoulder went down to my arm, and was replaced by his chin. I seriously can hear the maniac heart that I have right now. Beating loudly, fast.

"Well?" he spoke. I felt his warm breath below my jaw, passing through my earlobe. His breath was sweet and warm. His voice was sincere, warm as well, serious, but a bit sad, husky,  sexy , seductive...

YAH! HYUNMI-AH! What are you saying!? You sound like a pervert right now! Aissh~ really! Get a grip!

 

Chills ran down my spine. I felt my breathing was uneven. I'm just sitting here, doing nothing but talk for minutes... Minutes that felt like long hours.

 

"HyunMi-ah..." he spoke again, waiting for an answer. I felt his warm breath once again. My cheeks just flushed crimson red. I looked away more from him, avoiding to let him see my tomato face.

 

"A-a-aniyo..." I manage to answer. I could here my guilt in my own voice.

I felt his head tilt and lean closer to my head since it was still on my shoulder. He released his hand from my arm and gently turned my head to his direction.  I blinked many times. When I was facing him, he was so close! Much closer than a while ago. Our faces were just like 1 inch away from each other.

Dammit! My heart is going crazy! Like it's the end of the world! (Agh, I should really spend some more time with AnJi than Taemin. I'm saying loco things right now like that weird Oppa of mine =.=)

 

His eyes were staring right into mine. They were... sparkling. There was something in them. Happiness? Hope? Or whichever. Only thing I know, it was a positive look. We stayed in that position for some time.

 

"Jinjja?" he suddenly spoke, going back to the topic. I felt the warm breath coming out from his mouth to mine. He was smiling. I couldn't answer. I was too caught up with his wonderful eyes.

"Ya, jinjja?" he repeated. I came back to my senses. I awkwardly leaned away, but he leaned a little more closer. The tip our noses nearly touching.

"N-ne." I said, still stuttering. -.-

 

When I leaned away, I felt his chest on my back. He was all smiles for one moment, then suddenly pouted.

"Why did you lie?" he asked, his eyes wandering to the empty wall behind me. He still wasn't leaning away.

"O-oppa... W-why are you asking... weird questions?" I asked, pulling out from the topic.

He was off guard by my question. He looked at me then quickly looked away. He leaned his head away as well, scratching the back of his head. I still felt his warm chest on my back.

"Uhmm... Well--" he was cut off when...

 

 

 

"HyunMi! I bought the-- oh. Uhmm.. Sorry" Channie said while he suddenly barged inside the room. When he saw us, he quickly looked away.

I looked at him with wide and surprised eyes. But I quickly turned my attention to the paperbag he was holding.

That couldn't be the....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HEADPHONES!!!!!! Omo! Channie Oppa! You did it! BWAHAHAHA!

 

"Oppa~!" I stood up and pushed Channie outside the room, so that Jinyoung won't notice the paperbag. I turned my head back to Jinyoung. "Uhmm... Let's just talk later. Arrasseo oppa?"

He nodded with a grin on his face.

Omo. Did he saw the paperbag?! o.o

 

 

I dragged Channie to my room. Closed the door behind us and locked it.

"Ya, are you going to rape me or something?" Channie joked while covering his upper body

"Pabo. No I'm not. Kekek" I laughed. I turned back to the paperback he was holding, "Let me see! Let me see!"

A while ago he was joking with me, then his face turned serious. What's with them and their easily changed expressions? O.O

Well, I ignored it and went for the paperbag. I was about to grab it when he pulled it away and raised it high in the air.

Agh~ I hate you for being so tall Oppa! -.-

"Ob-waeyo!?" I asked, a bit irritated.

"What were you guys doing a while ago?" he eyed on me. I suddenly felt my cheeks warming up.

"W-we were just talking." I stuttered as I remembered when Jinyoung slowly turned my head, and his face so close to mine. =.= My cheeks were burning up now. I know I'm red as a tomato again.

"Talking? Do people talk with their faces so close to each other?" he sarcastically said and raised and eyebrow. I looked away from him.

 

"Just give me the headphones!" I demanded as I jumped for it. But Chansik's refelex was quick.

"Yah, did you guys... kiss???" he said with wide eyes

"M-M-MWO!?!?!? Andwae!!!! O-of course not!" I shouted

"Good. Cause I want to take a picture of you guys kissing for the first time" he winked. I don't know why he's saying this kind of things. But one thing I know is, my redness just went worse.

"Mwo!?" I shouted slapping his arm

"Kidding~" he said, lowering the headphones. "Not." he added. I glared at him, but ignored what he just said.

"Headphones?" I demanded, my palm faced upward. He finally gave it to me. I sat on my bed, so did he, and I started to open the box carefully.

 

I took the headphones out from the box and I was just amazed to see it. It was really... AWESOME!

"Woah~" I breathed

"Try it" Chansik offered.

I took my iPod from my bag that was laying on bed, and plugged the headphones on. I put it on, pressing the play button on my iPod. While the song was playing, I can't help myself to be amazed.

It sounded amazing! I can hear the song very clearly. It was comfortable to wear. It wasn't heavy on the head. It was PERFECT! :")

 

I took it off and sighed, "Hope he likes it" I mumbled

"Sure he will. He's been saving up for that as well." Chansik told me

"Mwo?"

"Do you know why the headphones were encircled on the magazine?"  he asked in a trivia way

I shook my head

"Well, I took the magazine one night from your room and asked hyung if he knows why it was encircled. He told me that he encircled it cause he was saving up for it." he smiled at me.

"Jinjja!? Great! Kekek. Gomawo Oppa." I hugged him tightly

"For what?"

"For helping me out. If I hadn't ask you what would be a perfect present for Jinyoung, I wouldn't have looked in that magazine"

"Geurae? You're welcome then." he smiled

 

 

 

******
 

 

*Jinyoung's POV*

 

I was sitting on my bed. Staring at nothing. Smiling like a dork

 

She said she doesn't like Taemin. Does this means I still have a chance? Aish. What are you thinking Jinyoung. She already told you that she only likes you as her bias... But still... she doesn't like Taemin! HAHA! Hmm... wonder if she really was jealous of Yuri. She did spoke in a joking tone... but her eyes said something else. Kekek.. Ah~ Jinyoung, you're such a creep. -.-

 

My thoughts were cut off when Baro suddenly entered the room and spoke,

"Hyung, wae?"

I blinked twice, "Mwo?"

"You're smiling like a retard" he joked. So that's what I look like? Okay, creepy. >.<

"So what were you thinking~?" he sang

"Ani~" I answered smiling, forcing my blush not to show.

"You're thinking about Yuri-noona aren't you?" he teased, poking my shoulder. My smile disappeared.

"Andwae. Waeyo?" I seriously asked

"Yeah right. You obviously like her Hyung. Don't need to hide it." he teased.

Really, people. I don't like her -.-

"But of course  $^%  shouldn't know" he mumbled. [$^% = HyunMi ;)]

"What?" I asked. I heard him say the words, but not the name.

"Huh? I didn't say anything" he said with his innocent act.

"Yes you did. Who shouldn't know?" I asked, curiosity killing.

"Huh. Oh look! There's HyunMi" He pointed at HyunMi that was standing at the doorway. Suddenly Sandeul barged in.

"Baro-ah! Don't tell him! She's going to kill me!" Sandeul said, pulling Baro out of the room. I saw HyunMi giggle and shot a look at Sandeul.

"What!? What!?! I didn't told him anything. He didn't even--mmmeumm-mmm" he wasn't able to finish his sentence because Sandeul covered his mouth.

After some pushes and kicks, Sandeul and Baro were outside.

 

I looked at HyunMi, who was still looking at their direction. I heard her chuckle. A smile crept up my face just hearing that.

She turned around and looked at me. She sat at the edge of the bed.

"What was that all about?" I chuckled

"Don't mind them. Kekek. So, Oppa, what flavor would you like for the cake?" she asked with such enthusiasm

"Cake?"

"Ne. It's your birthday tomorrow, remember? Kekek" she chuckled

"Anything's good as long you're the one who's going to bake it." I winked.

She blushed and smiled. But I think she was not that satisfied with my answer, as her eyebrows furrowed

"But... may be chocolate's yummy" I smiled at her.

She smiled with such excitement and nodded, "Arasseo"

She stood up and was about to leave when I grabbed her wrist. She turned around and looked at me again.

 

"Wae?" she asked

"We're not done talking" I started, my voice becoming deep.

"Oh..." that was the only thing that left her mouth.

I stood up, still holding her wrist

"Why did you told me that you like Taemin, if you really don't?" I asked seriously. I felt tension building up the atmosphere.

"I... I have my reasons" she told me.

I was puzzled. I read her face, her eyes... but I couldn't see through.

Before I could speek, Channie suddenly shouted

"HYUNMI-AH~ ARE YOU GOING TO WRAP THIS OR NOT!?" He yelled from outside. HyunMi suddenly stiffened.

"Wrap?" I raised my eyebrows and smirked.

"N-ne." she stuttered.

"For who?" I asked. Hope it's for me. Kekeke.

"It's for Miyoung" she said straight.

"Eh?" I pouted

"Ne. It's just a little surprise for the kid." she chuckled

"Well, how about mine?" I asked, very childishly

She remained silent. Her eyes wandering around the room

"Yah!" I puffed my cheeks. Doing my "awkward" aegyo. This will make you talk. Bwahahah.

 

She did blush, but remained silent.

How did that not work on her now? O.O

"HYUNMI-AH!" Channie yelled again. What an impatient maknae he is sometimes. -.-

"Arasseo!" she answered to Channie and bid goodbye to me. I chuckled when she left. She's too cute.
