Ch. 3- Confusion

The Instincts of Love

Sungyeol’s POV:

“ You taste smell delicious. Let me have a bite out of you.” I back away from her, but she kept on getting closer and closer. Her eyes are pitch black, and a tail and ears sprouted from her body. I was scared.

“ Don’t try to run away. You can’t escape from me.” She jumped into the air and became a wolf. My eyes watched her as she dived right at me with wide open, and her claws pointing straight at me.

“ Say goodbye, little one.”

 

I jolted up from my bed, and I was shivering badly. Cold sweat was all over my body, and I was scared out of my wits. That dream, no, that nightmare was scary and… so real. I haven’t had nightmares like that before. I just met that girl yesterday and now she appears in my nightmare? What have I done to have her in my head and her at school? I really need to get more sleep instead of study the whole time. Though the thing that bothered me was why her eyes were black. It was as if there was no soul inside of her. Then yesterday when our eyes met, I swear I saw her eye color turn black. The nightmare was getting to me again so I shook off the feeling and got out of bed.

I did my usual routine, and realized that Chanyeol wasn’t home. I forgot that he stayed over at Baekhyun’s: which I hope didn’t cause any trouble for his family. As I got my things ready, I almost forgot to put on my necklace. I ran upstairs to my bedroom and opened my drawer. Inside the drawer is a box with my necklace in it. My mom said to always keep my necklace in it when I take it off because I have a tendency to lose things. Which is not always true… Okay it might be a bit true, but I’m only a teensy bit forgetful. Anyways, I put on my necklace, ran back downstairs, and grabbed the keys to the car.

While I was driving to the university, I couldn’t help but feel weird. It was as if something was going to happen but I don’t know what. It’s like those times when you have the word at the tip of your tongue but you just can’t remember what it is. I guess you can it’s something like that. When I got the school, I parked my car the furthest away from everybody else. I know that the other students are going to want the parking spots in the front, and I don’t want to be fighting over those spots. I parked my car, got out, and headed to the library as usual. It’s a normal routine of mine to go to the library before class starts because it calms me down a little bit.

The doors to the library were open, and I went to my spot. The librarian greets me everyday with a smile since I come here everyday. Though when I got to me spot, I saw the Myungsoo standing next to the table. Slowly, I made my way over there, and he looked up at me. He straightened himself out, but he didn’t smile. His face was cold and void of any emotions.

“ Myungsoo-sshi, what are you doing here?”

“ I need to talk to you.” I walked around to the chair I sit on and took off my backpack. I set it on the table and faced him again.

“ What is it?” He took a step towards me.

“ Don’t talk to me in class, outside of class, and outside of the school. It’s a burden to me.” There was this feeling of anger inside me when he said that.

“ What? What are you trying to say? You want me to not talk to you? Well, listen here, you are the one who sat next to me in chemistry and photography yesterday, so shouldn’t you be the one avoiding me?”

“ Yes I should be the one avoiding you, but still. I think-“

“ Well, well, well. What are you two talking about?” Our heads turned around to see her standing by the doorway. I unconsciously grabbed onto Myungsoo-sshi’s arm, and for some reason it looked like he was protecting me.

“ What do you want, Hyuna?” She took a few steps forward closer to us. I watched every move of hers. Suddenly, my mind went back to my nightmare, and my body started to shake.

“ I just wanted to meet Sungyeol-sshi again. He seems pretty interesting me.”

Why would I seem interesting? Why me?

“ Oh really? Is that your true purpose?” I thought I heard a low growl emit from Myungsoo. I must be imagining things.

“ Well, it seems like the two of you are busy so I will be on my way. Can’t wait to see you in class Sungyeol-sshi, and you too Myungsoo.”

That’s weird. Hyuna-sshi didn’t speak formally to Myungsoo. Does that mean they are close to each other?

“ Hey are you okay?”

“ H-Huh?”

“ You’re shaking.” I realized that I was still shaking, and I held onto my shoulders for myself to stop. Myungsoo grabbed onto my shoulders and that got me to stop shaking. I was surprised because Myungsoo was able to calm me down. I pushed away his hands and grabbed my things. I don’t know why but I bolted out of the library and out to the garden.

I fell to the ground and took a few deep breaths. My hands went to my shoulders where he touched me, and noticed that it was really warm still. I pulled my knees in and wrapped my arms around my knees. The warmth of the sun took away the chilliness of fall, and I couldn’t help but enjoy it. A pair of feet came into my view. I looked up to see Sunggyu-sshi smiling at me. Next to him, if I remember correctly, is Woohyun-sshi. For some reason Woohyun-sshi is glaring at me but I don’t know why. We have only met once and it seems like I already got on his bad side. Sunggyu-sshi held out his hand for me and I took it. Though it seemed like Woohyun-sshi didn’t like it.

“ T-Thank you.”

“ It’s nothing. Anyways, what are you doing here?” I scratched the back on my neck and laughed.

“ Haha, well, I just wanted to come out here I guess?”

“ I guess? You are quite an interesting person, Sungyeol-sshi.” Sunggyu-sshi took a step forward but Woohyun-sshi stopped him. I didn’t think of it until I saw Sunggyu-sshi’s arm turn a bright red. I didn’t know what I was doing but I smacked Woohyun-sshi grip from Sunggyu-sshi’s arm.

“ I-I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have done something so rude like that!” Sunggyu-sshi shook his head at me and laughed.

“ It’s okay. Woohyun is always like this.” Just then Woohyun-sshi leaves. I felt bad because I did something disrespectful to somebody I barely know. I heard Sunggyu-sshi sigh, and the guilt grew. Then I felt a pat on my shoulders.

“ Like I said: don’t worry about it. Woohyun gets mad easily at me because of…certain things. It was nice seeing you again. Also your class is about to start soon.” I took out my phone and checked the time. I only had ten minutes before class started and I wasn’t very close to the science building. When I looked back up to thank Sunggyu-sshi, he disappeared. I looked around but he was nowhere to be seen. Instead of wondering where Sunggyu-sshi went, I ran to my class.

When I got to class, I had five minutes to spare. I was surprised that I could run the quickly despite my stamina. I set down my backpack at the lab table and took out my notebook. The chair next to me screeched, and I knew who the person was. I turned my head to the side a little bit to look at Myungsoo-sshi, but it wasn’t him. It was another person that I don’t remember seeing. He turned to me and greeted himself.

“ Hi, my name is Henry. It’s nice meeting you for the first time even though we have been in the same class for the last three years.”

“ Really!? How come I have never noticed you?” He laughed at me and I couldn’t help but his laugh sounded amazing.

“ Probably because you have your nose in that textbook of yours all the time.” Henry-sshi touched my nose and laughed at me again.

“ Well sorry for wanting to learn!” His hand was about to reach for my head until I swatted it away. Suddenly, the room got cold, and I turned my head to the door. Myungsoo-sshi stepped into the room, and when he passed my lab table, he didn’t spare a glance. I don’t know why, but I felt a bit disappointed. I guess he really wanted for us to avoid each other.

Then what was the deal with this morning? Was I wrong to think that he was defending me?

“ Sungyeol-sshi, is there something wrong?” I looked back at Henry-sshi and shook my head.

“ No. I’m fine, but thank you for asking.” The professor came in so we turned to the front of the room. Though I could feel a person glaring holes through my head.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

Myungsoo’s POV:

 

“ Hyung, pass me the ball.”

“ Aish. You really are like a dog.” I glared at him. I was not some sort of dog. Then when he threw the ball into the air, I jumped up really high to catch it.

“ Yeah, sure, what do you call that then?” I threw the ball up and down as I glared at him.

“ Shut up Sunggyu-hyung. Anyways, where is Woohyun-hyung? Shouldn’t he be by your side all the time?” Sunggyu-hyung sighed and I knew it wasn’t good.

“ He got angry this morning and didn’t appear for class. It doesn’t matter, though. He can take care of himself.” I sat down next to him and continued throwing the ball up and down.

“ The one I’m worried about is you.”

“ You don’t need to worry about me. I can control myself pretty well.”

“ Tch. As if.” Before I knew it, my head was under his arm and he was rubbing my head with his knuckles.

“ Yah! Be respectful to your hyung!”

“ Alright! I understand! I won’t say it again!”

“ Good!” He let go of me and I rubbed my head in pain. I stuck out my tongue at him and he laughed back at me. The fall wind blew at us, and I saw a bit of the scar under Sunggyu-hyung’s shirt.

“ Hyung, does that hurt still?” He touched his chest and smiled. It wasn’t a happy smile, though.

“ This? It doesn’t hurt physically, only mentally and emotionally.”

“ Sorry for bringing it up.”

“ It’s okay. I better get going and find Woohyun. I will talk to you later.” Sunggyu-hyung left me by myself as I sat in the garden by myself. I stared at the cloudless sky and then closed my eyes. I didn’t have class for another two hours so I should be fine. As long as I wake up before class starts then it wouldn’t matter if I take a little nap.

“ Myungsoo-sshi?”

Who the heck is disturbing my beauty sleep? They better have a good reason for bothering me.

“ What do y—“ The words got stuck in my throat as the sunlight hit his face. I guess you could say I was mesmerized at how perfectly the sun hit face: it was…beautiful.

What the heck are you saying Kim Myungsoo! You shouldn’t get involve with him!

“ Myungsoo-sshi, did you hear me?” I snapped out of my thoughts and stood up. I grabbed my backpack and walked off. He followed me, though. No matter how many turns I took, he wouldn’t get off my tail. I couldn’t take it anymore so I turned around and he bumped right into my chest. He rubbed his head from the impact and pouted. For some reason I couldn’t help but to think that those lips look cute.

“ Why did you stop walking?”

“ Why are you following me?”

“ I asked you first!”

“ I asked you—“

Why am I even arguing with him!?

“ Whatever. Just leave me alone Sungyeol-sshi.” I walked away from him but then a hand stopped me from going any further.

“ Why? Why did you get angry when she was around you?” I turned around and faced him.

“ Do you mean Hyuna?” He nodded his head at me. I sighed at the thought of Hyuna, and now he wants to know why I got angry. If I told him, he probably would get scared and ignore me, or even worse.

“ Hyuna is nothing. She is somebody that you don’t have to concern yourself with.”

“ Why? What did she want?” I looked into Sungyeol’s eyes, and saw the curiosity of a child. A conclusion came to me: I wasn’t going to let him get closer to me. I turned around so now my back was facing him and ran. I ran and ran until I knew he wasn’t following me. As long as I can avoid him, then it should be fine. All I have to do is put space between the two of us, and it will be okay. That’s all I have to do. Right?

 

Sungyeol’s POV:

 

“ Myung—“

Myungsoo ran away at the speed of light before I could say anything. My shoulders slumped because he ran away. I decided to not follow him since it seems like it would be impossible to do so. Instead I just went to the library. My other class finished early since the professor said he had to leave for a family emergency. Henry-sshi asked me earlier to go get some food, but I declined him. The only thought that was on my mind was Myungsoo-sshi. I still have questions that need to me answered, but it doesn’t seem like it will be possible.

I sat at my usual place in the library. I put my headphones on and listened to my music. Then I took out my homework and laid them across the table. It’s crazy that I got so much homework just from two classes. I really didn’t feel like doing it, but it’s not going to do by itself right?

Right when I was finishing the last bit of my homework, I saw my phone flashing. I answered it quickly so I wouldn’t bother the other students, though I think I’m the only one in here.

“ Hello?”

“ Hey Sungyeol-hyung!”

“ Hi Chanyeol. Do you need something?”

“ Oh yeah! Baekhyun and I are going to this lecture so we won’t be done until another hour. Can you wait for another hour?”

“ Yeah I can. Come fine me in the library when you are done.”

“ Thanks hyung! See you later!” I put my phone on the table and went back to my homework.

Finally! No homework for tonight! Now I can just rest.

I was too lazy to put my things back into my backpack so I let stay there. I put my arms on the table and laid my head on them. I watched as the fall leaves fell from the tree. Every season I watch the tree from the cherry blossoms, to the lush green leaves, to the colorful fall leaves, and the branches covered in snow and ice. I don’t know why I like watching the seasons go by, but I feel like I’m waiting for something. It’s as if as the seasons go by, there is a little change in me. The odd thing is, my favorite season is winter, and during winter there aren’t any leaves. My eyes started to close, and I just let them fall. I’m too tired to resist it.

 

“ I’m sorry.”

Whose voice is this?

“ I have to go now. You will be in good hands.”

Why does it feel like I have heard this person’s voice before? Why is this person crying?

“ Goodbye. I love you.”

Don’t leave. Don’t leave. Please don’t leave I don’t know you are.

“ Sungyeol-hyung.”

Don’t go.

“ SUNGYEOL-HYUNG!”

Don’t leave me.

“ SUNGYEOL-HYUNG! WAKE UP!”

Don’t… leave me.

 

“ Hyung, wake up!” I woke up with the yelling in my ears and somebody shaking my body. My body was shivering, but I don’t know why. When I turned my head to see the window open, I was confused. I don’t remember opening it or it was already opened. I was about to close the window until I noticed something. The window had frost on it. I looked at the other windows but they weren’t like that either.

“ Hyung, are you okay?” I rubbed my head in confusion. I was probably imagining things.

“ Yeah I’m okay. How was class Chanyeol?” I started to pack my things up. Chanyeol handed my laptop to me and I thanked him for helping out. The quicker I was, the quicker I can get out of here.

“ Class was okay as usual. The lecture was interesting, though.”

“ Oh really? What was it about?”

“ It was about wolves.” I stopped moving when he said wolves. My hands began to shake and I had to hold them together to stop it. I snapped out of it and continued to pack up.

“ I-I see. Where is Baekhyun?”

“ He said that he is busy. I really wanted to hang out with him.” I chuckled at Chanyeol’s child side of him. I patted his fluffy head and we headed out of the library. At least the weather wasn’t bad. One thing keeps on bothering me. It’s the frost on the windows. Maybe it was because it was only cold where the area of the window was. That doesn’t make sense still because it couldn’t be just that window. My head was beginning to spin from the confusion of a window! A window!

While we walked to the car, I saw Hyuna-sshi waiting by my car. I’m really starting not to like her. Just her presence creeps me out. Her eyes make it seem like she wants to eat me. I’m human for god’s sake! I’m not like a piece of meat that you can just take a bite out of. That just seems sick.

“ Chanyeol go inside the car first.”

“ Why? Who is she, hyung?”

“ Just a classmate. Go inside.” Chanyeol reluctantly went in the car, and I went to talk to Hyuna-sshi.

“ Is there a problem, Hyuna-sshi?” She took a step forward to me. I watched as her finger got close to my face. I could feel the tip of her nail touch my skin. The touch of her sent made my skin crawl. Detest for her is increasing to the point where I want to puke by the sight of her.

“ I just wanted to see how you are doing. You were shivering earlier so I thought that I made you uncomfortable.” I turned my face away and slapped her hand away.

“ I’m perfectly fine. Thank you for asking.”

“ I guess you really don’t know.” I looked back at her. The look in her eyes confused me. It’s as if she has this secret that she wants to tell me, but she can’t.

“ What do you mean by that?”

“ I. Can’t. Tell. You. It was nice seeing you again Sungyeol-sshi. Also I would do as what Myungsoo says.” She smiled at me and started to walk away. I wasn’t going to let her go without having a question answered.

“ What is your relationship with Myungso-sshi?”

“ Huh?” She stopped walking and looked back at me.

“ You heard what I said.”

“ You will either find out yourself one day or you will have to ask Myungsoo yourself.”

“ Wait—“

“ See you.” Suddenly she went into a sprint and she disappeared. I was in shock because I have never seen a person run that fast. To be more exact: I have never seen somebody disappear like that.

“ Sungyeol-hyung, hurry up! I want to go home!”

“ Coming!” I took one more glance where she disappeared, and headed into the car.

I’m really confused now. I guess I will just have to sleep on it.
