Capturing Taemin-Oppa
Taemin was watching a TV show when someone rang the doorbell. He ran to see who it was. It’s Kai. He opened the door looking surprised and confused.
“Why go here suddenly?” He uttered as Kai went straight to the couch and took the controller to change the network.
“I went to your practice room but no one’s there. I was calling you the whole time but you never answered, so I went here to see if you’re okay.” He said but it’s obvious that he just went there to mess up with his hyung and to annoy him. “Do you have food?” He stood up and went to the kitchen. “I’ll check it out myself, huh, hyung?” Kai opened the fridge and searched for something that he could eat.
“Aish, Yah! That’s enough for us until the end of the week!” He said and tried to stop Kai from disturbing the fridge.
“Just chips.” He said.
Taemin lazily went back to the couch and waited for Kai to return. That’s when Juliette came out of her room looking weak and vulnerable. Taemin acted like standing up to guide her, but he watched as she seems to be a bit okay now.
Kai turned to go back to the living area when he froze the moment he met eyes with Juliette. He swallowed a couple of times because he was so mesmerized by how Juliette looked.
“O… oppa…” Juliette called with her eyes almost closed. “Ca… Can I have my… books?” She asked and knitted his forehead a little. It seemed like it was painful speaking a bit.
“B-books?” Juliette thought that she was talking to Taemin.
“I… I…” She was not able to continue what she was saying because she suddenly lost balance and collapsed. Kai was fast enough to support her back.
“Jooyoung-ah!” Taemin stood up and ran to check her out. Kai was in panic. He didn’t know she was sick.
“Hyung, is she okay?” He asked as he helped Taemin carry Juliette. Taemin lifted Juliette bridal style and returned her to the room. Kai was following with a worried and concerned look on his face.
“She’s sick. Who wouldn’t be after running outside while it was raining?” He said and gently placed her on the bed. “Her fever got worse.” He shook his head and took out his phone. “It’s a good thing I asked her not to go to school today. Look after her for a while. I’ll just call Jieun for help.” He said and left Kai inside with Juliette.
He stared at this beautiful girl sleeping on the bed. He sighed and asked himself, “Why is she so beautiful?” He placed his hand under his chin and looked at her as if he was dreaming. “You have the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen. For once I thought you were an angel in disguise.”
He traced the outline of her face through his eyes. Juliette’s forehead, her eyebrows, her closed eyes, her long eyelashes, her puffy and cute cheeks, her cute nose, and her lips that shape perfectly, didn’t escape Kai’s curious gaze.
“Yeppoda…” He uttered and released a long sigh. Kai was about to caress her cheeks when Taemin entered.
“Go out.” He said as he patted Kai’s shoulder.
He refused to. “Can I just look at her while she sleeps?” He said as he stared at Juliette just like what he was doing a while ago. “She’s so beautiful. I think I can live just by sitting here watching her every breath.”
“You one creepy person.” Taemin said with a disgusted face. “She’ll scream if she ever see you sitting here watching her. Stop creeping out and go outside. Her sister will come anytime soon.” He said.
“Let me stay here while she’s not here yet.” Kai said, still not paying enough attention to Taemin.
“Cook some meat on the kitchen.”
That’s when Kai automatically looked at Taemin, “For real, hyung?” He asked.
“Yes, and at the lower part of the fridge you can find beer. I’ll allow you to consume at least three.” He said.
“All right.” He stood up and looked at Juliette for a while. “I’ll just leave you here for a while my princess.”
Taemin let out a loud “tsk.” Kai looked at him again and said, “Hyung… just call me Romeo.”
“Aish. Go.” He said in irritation and Kai went out of the room leaving him and Juliette only.
He then looked at the sick patient and noticed that she was knitting her forehead constantly. Perhaps, she’s dreaming something not so good? He reached for her forehead and carefully flattened it out by rubbing it with his fingers. He also removed few strands of hair that was covering her face.
Taemin fixed the blanket, looked at her for one last time, and started to walk to the door. He was still inside when he heard Juliette.
“O… oppa…”
“Hmm?” He answered and looked back only to realize that Juliette was sleeptalking. He found it amusing so he went back to her and sat on the chair Kai occupied just a while ago. “Is there something wrong?” He asked.
He remembered how Minho-hyung sleeptalks a lot. Him and his hyung will fool around and ask Minho while he sleeps. They will laugh really hard because there were times when Minho answers them when he was completely asleep.
“You…” Juliette knitted her forehead again as she said that word with a weak voice. “You … you always take me for g… granted.” She uttered. Taemin frowned as he heard her. “Y… you don’t appreciate my feelings at all…” She added.
“Who’s ignoring who?” Taemin talked as if she was awake and is listening to him. “You are the one who’s really taking me for granted. Who often eats first? Who doesn’t listen to the word someone says? Who keeps on leaving someone because she still has to study for the exam? Who insists on leaving alone for school because she’s in a rush? Who’s very hard headed? Isn’t it you?” He said and shook his head as he stood up, “And mind you, little miss. Out of the two of us, it’s you who don’t appreciate anything at all.” He said softly and decided to leave her inside.
//What is wrong with both Juliette and Taemin?? And Kai, please ~ Go away.
