Chapter 26 – Sudden Change + Feeling Of Abandonment = That’s How Karma Works
The Old Fashioned Princess- Your Pov -
Taemin…is the strangest person you’ll ever meet…you can never understand how his mind works or thinks. Ever since that of the play…he had gone back to his old ways of waking me up early in the morning, talking to me none stop and following me around. Sure I guess I should be happy, since he now balanced things out…like spending time with Boa during lunch or when she ask of him to and when she doesn’t, he would spend it with me and the others. But this got me confused…why the sudden change all of a sudden?
Taemin is someone you can never understand.
‘Didn’t I tell you to cling to Boa?’ I stated irritated ‘So why the hell are you here.’
We had just finished all of our classes, so here we are in the dorm, everyone was here excluding Boa if you think she’s apart of ‘everyone’. Taemin just happened to be here and was blabbering a whole bunch of random things to me.
‘Well Taeminnie wanted to spend time with Byul-a-na Milk!’ Taemin said as if it was obvious
I looked past behind Taemin and could see that the others rolled their eyes
‘Sure, not with us’ Key muttered unhappily
‘Why do we have to listen to his blabbering?’ Chunji questioned annoyed ‘that mouth of his is like 5000 broken record on replay.’
If Chunji was feeling annoyed just being the bystander…then I bet he’ll shoot himself in the head if he was in my place…Taemin’s blabbering were all directed towards me.
‘Aishi, then can’t you do something else beside talking? Your talking about random useless things and it’s giving me a headache.’ I said
Taemin grinned ‘then let’s go hang out around the city!’ he suggested happily
‘You know what…just keep talking.’ I stated
There was no absolutely way in hell am I going to go anywhere with him. That was a promise I’ve made long ago…and I am going to keep it.
Taemin pouted ‘AW Why? Didn’t Byul-a-na Milk said to do something else beside talking. Plus it’s been a while since we both had gone out together.’ He reasoned
My eyes twitched from frustration…’YOU’RE THE DAMN REASON WHY WE CAN’T AND I WON’T GO ANYWHERE!’ my mind shouted in anger.
I guess the others could see my frustration as well as had read my mind…
‘Taemin, it’s been a long day. Everyone’s tired.’ Key said
‘Then Hyungs and Noonas can stay in the dorm. Taeminnie and Byul-a-na Milk can go. You guys weren’t invited in the first place anyways.’ Taemin said.
‘YAH! YOU---‘ Key exploded but was held down by Uee
‘Key Oppa is right. Beside I don’t feel like going out…well at lease not with you that it is.’ I said.
Taemin pouted ‘Why?!’ he whined
‘Dumb your always ditching her anyways.’ I heard L.Joe whispered
‘Why don’t you just go and find Boa to hang with’ I suggested
‘Because Taeminnie just said, he wants to spend time with Byul-A-na Milk!’ Taemin stated pouting and crossed his arms.
‘Well I’m not in the mood to be ‘spending time’ with you.’ I said.
Taemin frowned ‘Please Byul-a-na Milk~ Let’s go somewhere together!’ he pleded
I shook my head ‘No’ I said
‘Please!’
‘No’
‘Please~ Pretty Please’
‘No’
‘Taeminnie will shout everything!’
‘No’
‘Taeminnie will piggy back you!’
‘Definitely No.’
‘Taeminnie will do what ever Byul-a-na Milk says’
‘No.’
‘Taeminnie will kiss you, if you go!’
‘F*** No.’
‘What the Heck Taemin. Your really going to kiss another girl when you already have a girlfriend?’ Nana exclaimed
‘And you guys call me a Playboy….’ Jonghyun stated crossing his arms.
Key smack Jonghyun on the head ‘HE PROBABLY GOT INFLUENCED BY YOU!’ he shouted
‘Yah! I Don’t 2 time!’ Jonghyun argued
‘You know, Jonghyun does have a point.’ Jungah said
‘Taemin! When did you learn to 2 time!’ Chunji said disapprovingly.
Taemin blinked at the guys looking confused ‘2 time?’ he questioned
‘It means you already have a girlfriend but then you flirt with other girls.’ Minho explained
Taemin frowned ‘Taeminnie doesn’t do that.’ He stated ‘why is everyone ganging on me?!’ he whined
I rolled my eyes ‘your being too ridiculous…’ I commented and stood up ‘I’m going back to the tree house.’
‘Bye~ Byul!’ Everyone said to me beside Taemin who stood up also and followed me
-Tree House –
‘Byul-a-na milk! Let’s go out tomorrow then!’ Taemin said standing behind me.
‘No.’ I said
‘But tomorrow is a free day.’ Taemin reasoned
‘No.’ I said, opening the door and went inside.
Before I could close the door, Taemin had thrown himself inside just before the door closed.
I frowned ‘Yah, I told you to leave, Dog Face’ I said
Taemin shook his head stubbornly ‘Promise you’ll go with Taeminnie tomorrow and then Taeminnie will leave’ he persuaded me
Why the hell is he so stubborn for?
Just agree with him when he asks so he doesn’t whine to you and then don’t turn up.
I could remember L.joe’s words.
It’s not like he ever turns up anyway.
That’s true…he’ll never does and never will…
‘Fine. I’ll go alright.’ I said
Taemin face brightened up ‘Really?!’ he exclaimed
I nod ‘yeah, so now get out of my house.’ I stated
Taemin smiled jumped on me, giving me a hug ‘Yay! Let’s meet up, exactly 4pm at...’ He said pausing for a bit to think ‘ah! Let’s meet at the public park!’
‘why at the Public park?’ I questioned
Taemin let go of the hug and smiled ‘Because in the morning me and Boa are going to have Breakfast and Lunch together in the city!’ he beamed
If that was the case…he’ll no doubt forget about the outing and will ditch me again…L.joe was right.
‘Oh okay.’ I said
‘Okay! Good Night Byul-a-na Milk! See You Tomorrow!’ Taemin said happily ‘Don’t forget alright?!’
I rolled my eyes and nod ‘Yeah. Now just leave.’ I said
Taemin left.
‘It’s not like I’ll be the one to forget…’ I whispered ‘it’s always you.’
-The Next Day-
Early in the morning I had join the others for breakfast in the Dorm, as expected Taemin wasn’t there…like he had said, he was out with Boa.
‘Byul…Yesterday Taemin had been saying all night yesterday that you guys are going to hang out today, is that true?’ Minho asked
Others at table was quiet to hear my answer
I nod ‘Yeah, I agreed’ I said and continued to eat ‘But it’s not like he’ll turn up since his going out on a date with Boa right now. So I’m not going to turn up.’
L.Joe smiled ‘Good Girl! You listened to your awesome and hot Oppa’ He said proudly
‘Ew… your just full of self ego aren’t you’ Chunji commented making a puking face
L.Joe smirked ‘Babe don’t tell me your jealous because I complimented Byul.’ He said confidently ‘Just so you know, your looking very y today, as always’
‘Okay I lost my appetite…’ Minho said shooting a glare at L.Joe
‘Why the hell is he even here again? No wait let me correct that, why is he even considered in the group?’ Chunji questioned disgusted
L.joe made a hurt face ‘Ouch, that hurts Babe.’ He said pouting.
‘Chunji Oppa that’s not nice.’ I said ‘and didn’t the guys told you how?’
Chunji blinked a couple of times ‘um..no?’ he said
Jonghyun rolled his eyes ‘that’s your own fault. We were going to tell you but as soon as the word ‘L.joe’ came out of our mouths you already cussed at us.’ he said
‘Well long story short. Taemin left Byul on her own in the mall because he was with Boa. It was Byul’s first time to be in such a place so she was lost and didn’t know how to get back to the academy. Luckily L.Joe had saw her and helped her out.’ Onew explained.
‘Well that doesn’t mean, he has to be in the group after that’ Chunji muttered
‘Well Byul befriended him. Much to say we were grateful of him so of course he became our friend and apart of the group.’ Key said
Chunji pouted ‘so I have to suffer…’ he whined
‘YOUR SO CUTE BABE!!!’ L.Joe squealed and attempted to hug Chunji
But Chunji threw his slipper in his face ‘DON’T F***EN COME NEAR ME!’ he shouted
‘Drama drama drama…when will in this dorm ever be normal’ Nana commented shaking her head.
‘Well…you could say at least we’ll never get bored…’ Jungah said
Uee and Kahi turned and looked at me ‘Byul you’ll stick to your words and not show up right?’ Kahi asked me
I nod ‘I’ll try not to.’ I said
‘We’ll keep you company and have loads of fun, so you won’t even remember about the outing’ Uee said smiling
I chuckled and nod ‘thanks Unnis’ I said
‘Yah, they won’t be the only ones. I will too!’ L.Joe declared after he had recovered from the pain.
Chunji rolled his eyes ‘You mean ‘WE ALL’ will be.’ He said
‘Really, thanks Guys.’ I said gratefully
- Taemin Pov-
To start of the morning, Me and Boa had breakfast in a café, now we both are heading to the movies, since there was a new romantic movie that just came out and she really wanted to watch it.
But…the whole time…why was my mind always thinking of Byul?
‘Yah! Taemin Oppa! Are you listening to me?’ Boa questioned me pouting
I smiled and nod ‘Neh, continue on with the story’ I said
Honestly I had no idea what she had been talking about…
Unexpectedly…I was finding myself wishing mentally that it would be 4 right now so I could go and wait for Byul.
‘Why would I wish that when I’m on a date with Boa-ah right now?’ I questioned to myself mentally.
-Later that Day-
- Boa Pov-
I was starting to feel annoyed…Taemin wasn’t paying attention to me, I seemed like his always in a deep thought. He was also like that through the whole entire movie and now we were heading back to the academy…what irritated me was the fact he looked eager almost excited that our date was over.
While Walking Taemin suddenly stopped, I followed his actions and looked at him questioningly. ‘What’s wrong Taemin Oppa?’ I asked
Taemin smiled ‘Boa-ah i can’t walk you back, because I have to meet up with Byul-a-na Milk right now.’ He said
My eyes widened…was I hearing this correct? Byul? Did I just hear that B****’s name coming out of MY boyfriend’s mouth?
‘W-What?’ I questioned hoping to have heard wrong
‘I promised to hang out with Byul today, so I have to go and meet up with her right now. Bye Boa-ah!’ Taemin said
‘W-Wait…can’t Oppa walk me back?’ I ask him hoping that he would.
But it was too late…Taemin had already ran off.
I frowned ‘ so that’s why his been spacing out…’ I said to myself
He was clearly thinking of that B**** and was excited to hang with her.
I growled angrily and cuss mentally while storming back to the academy.
-Taemin Pov-
I ran to the park I had told Byul to meet me at, checking the time I was 30 minutes early…which caused me to grin proudly at myself.
‘Ha! I’m early, Byul’s gonna feel bad and she’s going to be nice to me!’ I thought happily.
Seeing a bench close by, I went and sat down.
‘Byul you better be here soon!’ I thought feeling very excited
-Your Pov-
I watch amusing as Key was singing Karaoke…while dancing…the song he had chose was from a girl band SNSD – Gee Gee Gee…and heck…was it amusing
‘That’s not my boyfriend’ I could hear Uee whispering to herself feeling very embarrassed
‘Phahahaha Key if I didn’t know any better I beat you use to be in SNSD!’ Jonghyun said laughing
For the whole day so far we did nothing but Karaoke.
‘Tsk, your jealous that I Almighty Key has a great voice and could dance awesome.’ Key boasted
‘Are you really proud to be able to dance to Girl band songs?’ L.Joe questioned ‘Dude I know I’m gay and all but you seem to be gayer then me’
Key threw a hissy fit at L.joe
‘Well you can’t do any better any way.’ Key challenged
L.Joe smirked ‘You wanna bet?’ he retorted
‘HELLS YEAH!” Key said confidently
‘Fine. Who ever scores the highest wins. Loser has to buy steak for everyone’ L.joe said
Key smirked ‘Oh your on!’ he said determined
‘Oh~ I’m In!’ Jonghyun said grinning
‘Count me in too!’ Onew said raising his hand
‘Well we might as well all join.’ Nana said smiling. ‘And the one who scores the lowest will pay for the food.’
Kahi nod ‘that sounds good to me’ she said smirking
‘I don’t have a say do i?’ I questioned
‘Of course you have to join’ they all stated
I let out a sigh…I should of known better…it’ll be a long and noisy night.
- 6 hours later-
You might be wondering why the heck does it take 6 hours just for a Karaoke competition…well because there had been some sore losers who can’t take the defeat and demands for rematches. There were 3 rematches that we had to do. 1st to have lost was Onew…who was singing while changing his tone making him sound retarded. His excuse was the fact that he didn’t know that it was possible to lose points if you sounded funny. 2nd was Chunji but that was because L.Joe was distracting him so that was another rematch, 3rd Key had ‘accidently’ chose the wrong song and was not approve of it…a childish excuse but the fact that he was stubborn and wouldn’t stop complain…we just had a rematch to shut him up. And now was the 4th rematch…
‘This IS NOT FAIR!’ Jonghyun exclaimed feeling injustice.
Everyone was rolling on the ground laughing. Jonghyun had lost and because of what? Because his voice cracked after having to sing repeatedly. For the previous matches Jonghyun had score perfect score of 100…but for the last one…I guess after singing many times had killed his voice.
‘Well we’re not having anymore rematches. So just go and get the food.’ Minho stated smirking.
‘C’MON! I’ve been coming first for all the matches!’ Jonghyun whined
‘ it up and go’ Key said
Jonghyun sulk in the corner not happy, Kahi who saw this let out a sigh
‘C’mon, I’ll go with you’ Kahi said
Instantly Jonghyun shoot up and was grinning like a mad man
‘Bi-polar much.’ Chunji commented chuckling
‘So what should we do now?’ Onew questioned
‘Well Jonghyun and Kahi are both going to get the food…I’ll go get the drinks from the venting machine.’ Minho said
‘I’ll help you , Babe’ Nana said smiling
‘Oh we could get that on the way too if you want’ Kahi said smiling
‘Nah that’s going to be too much for you guys to hold.’ Nana said
‘Then Me and Uee make side dishes’ Key said grinning
Key and Uee went into the kitchen room.
‘I’ll set the table up’ Jungah said ‘Onew coming?’
Onew smiled and nod ‘Anything for you honey~’ he sang
‘Should we help you guys out too?’ L.joe asked
‘nah that’s fine, you guys can just watch tv or play games or something’ Kahi said
Kahi, Minho, Jonghyun and Nana headed out, Onew and Jungah had already went to the dinning room to set up the table.
‘Well should we just play games then?’ Chunji questioned
I smiled ‘Sound good to me’ I said
L.joe nod and smirked ‘Hey Babe, Let’s make a bet.’ He suggested
Chunji gave him a blank look ‘Hell no. You could be thinking of something sick right now’ he rejected
I laughed at them. you must admit, L.joe and Chunji together, would be a fascinating couple.
-Taemin Pov-
I don’t know how I could describe my feelings right now…but I can tell you that I wasn’t feeling good.
‘Where is she?’ I thought looking around
I had waited in a total of 6 hours, right now was 10 at night.
‘Did something came up?’
‘Did she got hurt?’
those thoughts often came
‘Or maybe…she forgot about it….’ I whispered to myself
That thought was a punch in the gut for me…
‘IS this how she felt when I never turn up?’ I talked to myself
The feeling was definitely upsetting and more. I could of just gone back to the academy and looked for her…but there was a possible chance that she may of stepped out, so I decided to stay in one place.
I shook my head not wanting to believe in that thought ‘Ani, she’ll turn up.’ I told myself ‘something just might of happen.’
‘Isn’t that Taemin?’ I heard a familiar female voice
‘Holy … It is.’ Said a guy’s voice.
I looked at the direct of the voices, and saw that it was Kahi and Jonghyun holding many bags.
‘Hyung…Noona…’ I said surprised to have seen them
‘Taemin what are you doing here? This late?’ Kahi questioned me worried
I looked down ‘I’m waiting for Byul’ I said
Both Kahi and Jonghyun looked at each other
‘Taemin…She’s back in the dorm playing with Chunji and L.Joe…’ Jonghyun said
That was a double slap in the face…L.joe and Chunji? Those two? Why is she with them? I was at lost for words, my mind had gone blank and my body took action on it’s own…I was running back to the academy.
‘Is this how she felt when she knows I’ve ditched her and was with someone else?’ I thought, feeling my eyes getting teary.
I’ve reach the dorm and got to the living room under seconds.
‘Taemin? Dude did you just ran a marathon or something?’ L.joe commented looking at me…
So it was true…she really was playing with L.Joe and Chunji. In the living three of them were seated on the ground, looking very close and enjoying themselves…
Byul gave me a worried look ‘Hey are you okay? You don’t look good.’ She said
Shouldn’t she know? Maybe she did forget…a stab in the heart right there.
‘I…I w-was waiting…for you’ I stuttered, while looking at the ground, hiding my teary eyes.
It was silence for a moment…
‘;..’ L.joe said surprised
Chunji wacked him on the head ‘I told you! It could be possible’ he stated
Byul stared at me for moment before she came and stood in front of me.
‘S-Sorry…Taemin…’ Byul said
My body acted on it’s own as my arms wrapped themselves around Byul, pulling her into a tight hug. I buried my face on her shoulder.
‘Ani…I’m sorry.’ I whispered ‘This is how you must of felt.’
Byul wrapped her arms around my waist, returning my hug.
‘Please…Please don’t abandon me…don’t forget about me again.’ I whispered pleadingly.
Who wouldn’t feel upset and hurt? When someone that is important to you just happened to had forgotten or left you behind? I knew that I must of done this many times to Byul but who knew it would of hurt this much until karma gets me back. It was something I never wish to feel or experience ever again.
‘Promise me.’ I said almost in a begging tone.
Byul nod ‘Promise. It won’t happen again.’ She said
I smiled and continue to hug Her.
‘um…what’s going on here?’ I heard Jonghyun’s voice questioned
but I ignored it and continue to hug Byul…I didn’t know why, but I didn’t want to let go of her just yet. I enjoyed the warmth that she had and gave me just through this hug.
I seem to enjoy…
To always like…
Everything that I do…
And when I’m with…
Byul.
Why is that?
-Your Pov-
I felt bad…guilty… Taemin had actually came to the park and had waited for me…which I couldn’t help but to feel happy for. Taemin was hugging me and didn’t seem like he would let go anytime soon.
His being unpredictable again…
By now Jonghyun and Kahi were back, surprised to see that me and Taemin were embracing each other, by now everyone was in the living room watching us…not sure of what to do.
‘Yah! Taemin you can get let go of her now.’ L.joe stated
Taemin didn’t say anything only continuing to silently hug me.
Chunji was confused by Taemin’s behavior must be that he had never seen him act like this before. ‘Yah…Taemin are you alright? Are you not feeling well?’ he asked
Chunji stood beside us and was trying to get Taemin to face him, though trying to get Taemin to let go didn’t seemed to work because Taemin didn’t even budge. Chunji gave me a confused look as well as a worried one.
‘Taemin…yah you can let go now’ I said, trying move my upper body so I could look at him.
‘Ani, I want to hug you longer’ Taemin whispered and pulled me back into place for him to hug comfortably. ‘You can’t make me let go~’ he said childishly
Chunji stared wide eyes and was gapping, surprised. Where as the others some just rolled their eyes…L.joe, Key and Minho…and the other rest were just grinning widely.
‘Your not going to help get him of me….are you?’ I questioned
‘It’s not like we won’t. But you know Taemin…his too stubborn’ Onew said as an excuse
I rolled my eyes ‘ Yah, Dog Face I want to go home and sleep, so let go’ I stated
Taemin grinned ‘I’ll sleep over!’ He declared happily
For a second I was surprised before I blankly looked at him ‘No.’ I stated and pushed him away. ‘Good night everyone’
I head towards the door, only to be blocked by Taemin with his puppy dog face.
I raised a brow at him ‘You do understand that creep face of yours never works right?’ I stated
Taemin pouted ‘But Taeminnie wants to sleep over!’ he whined
‘No.’ I said and pushed him aside opening the door.
‘But Byul-a-na Milk left Taeminnie waiting for 6 hours in the cold.’ Taemin said pouting ‘Can’t Taeminnie sleep over as an apology from Byul-a-na Milk.’
Since when had Taemin turned evil and use peoples’ wrong against them? Now I had no reason to reject him, since what he said was true…
I growled and shot him a glare ‘Fine.’ I said irritated
Taemin jumped and squealed happily ‘Taeminnie is going to get his clothes!’ he beamed running to his room
‘YAH! JUST GET YOUR PAJAMAS! YOUR NOT STAYING FOR MORE THEN ONE NIGHT!’ I shouted
‘What the F*** just happened…’ Chunji said after reviving from his surprised moment. ‘Since when did Taemin became like that?’
‘Like we said…Taemin changed since Byul came’ Key stated with a smile ‘the good way of course.’
I let out a sigh ‘That’s a very one-sided perspective don’t you think…’ I commented
Within minutes Taemin had came back and was carrying down a luggage.
My eyes twitched from irritation…’did you not hear what I just said?’ I questioned
Taemin grinned widely ‘Ani? Let’s go!’ he beamed
I shook my head ‘No. Not unless you leave that luggage behind and only bring one pair of clothes no your entire wardrobe.’ I said crossing my arms
Taemin pouted ‘But Taeminnie is sleeping over for a week..’ he said
I gasp for a second before shooting a glare at him ‘THAT ISN’T YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE!!! ITS MY HOUSE DAMNIT!’ I shouted
‘But Taeminnie waited for 6 hours…’ Taemin whined
‘You can wait there for a whole year! And you still won’t get to sleep in my house for a week!’ I retorted
Taemin gave me another of his famous puppy eyes look which I only gave him a blank look in return.
‘One night only, take it or leave it.’ I said, willing to not change my mind.
Taemin continue to stare me down with his puppy eyes but I remained unmoved.
‘If you continue to stare at me with those creepy eyes I’ll ban you for a month from coming to my place.’ I said
Taemin dropped his look and pouted, puffing his cheeks out cutely as if he was defeated
‘Fine. Taeminnie sleeps over only for a night’ he said
I mentally celebrated proud of myself.
‘But Byul-a-na Milk will have to also give Taeminnie lots of Banana milk!’ Taemin said grinning
I groaned ‘fine.’ I agreed
Taemin cheered for 2 minutes before dragging me out.
-Chunji Pov-
Never had I ever seen this side of Taemin before…the one that seemed so clingy and attached to someone both emotionally and physically. Sure his with that B**** but his not clingy to her as he was with Byul.
‘Am I dreaming?’ I thought
‘Yes…what you had seen before you was not a dream…’ Key said seemingly to have read my mind.
‘Taemin is like that?’ I questioned still not believing it.
Minho nod ‘Yes. Yes he is.’ He agreed.
‘F*** do I need a slap…’ I muttered
Jonghyun grinned and raised his hand ‘that can be arranged’ he said
L.Joe shot him a glare ‘Yah! You dare touch my baby with that hand of yours and you can say good bye to your balls and future of your babies!’ He threatened
Christ sake…there’s a hell of a lot of things going on here…
- Boa Pov-
My mind was filled with nothing but anger and hatred for that one B**** that could ruin everything.
‘ARH! I HATE HER!’ I shouted angrily.
There was a part in Taemin that I knew he was still greatly attached to that B****. And I have to end that or Taemin would never be entirely mine. Sure he was already my boyfriend…but he was drifting away. Leaving it this way there could be a possible chance he might broke it off with me.
I have to end them.
For good…
Till there’s nothing left…
Till there’s no reason…
For them to need…
See…
Feel…
Each Other.
