No Source of Relief is Better than Violence
Stupid You,
Gaheun's POV:
"Hyung! Why didn't you say something before you came in?" Hyungjoo complains. Thank goodness, he's okay. Hyukshin and I run into the hall to see Hyungjoo lying on the floor, and Kim Bum resting a HUGE inflatable hammer on his shoulder. He squeezes it while he laughs again, making it squeak loudly.
"Hahahahahahaha!!! You- I- hahahahaha!! The hammer- ahahaha!" Kim Bum was almost in hysterics. He falls to the floor, his whole body shaking. Well… his explanation didn't tell us anything.
"Hyungjoo... Did Kim Bum Hyung take you out... With an inflatable hammer?..." Hyukshin asks in disbelief, trying not to laugh.
"Ugghhh... Let's not talk about it..." Hyungjoo answers, in a dead voice. Everyone except Hyungjoo bursts into laughter. I can just imagine the scene, Hyungjoo trying to be stealthy by taking Kim Bum by surprise, only to be knocked in the head with the hammer.
Half an hour later, when we all dried our tears from laughing too hard, the topic was brought up again.
"But in my defence, I stopped because I saw it was Kim Bum Hyung!!" Hyungjoo says, annoyed from his earlier embarrassment.
"Sure Hyung, you could have just… punctured the balloon." Hyukshin rebuts, beginning to laugh again.
"AND that doesn't explain why you fell to the floor. Hahaha." Kim Bum adds, laughing again.
"YOU HIT ME RIGHT IN THE FACE!!! THAT HAMMER IS BIGGER THAN MY FACE!!! OF COURSE I FELL!!!" Hyungjoo shouts, whining.
"Okay... Okay... Kim Bum Hyung, hitting Hyungjoo on the head was an unfair shot. You know his melon head weighs more than his body." This sets off another roar of laughter between the two of them.
Hyungjoo sits beside me, his arms crossed in front of his chest, pouting. Instinctively, I put my arm around him,
"It's okay. They're just joking around. I know you got knocked down because you saw it was Kim Bum." I whisper to him. He smiles a little, and hugs me. Oohh... Not gonna lie, a little awkward.
"Thanks," He replies.
The boisterous laughter stops in unison. That’s weird…
"HEY!!!!" Kim Bum and Hyukshin shout.
"What? She's the only one nice to me here..." Hyungjoo replies, sticking his tongue out at them.
"Ahem. Yeah..." I say, as he lets me out of his hug.
Kim Bum and Hyukshin begin talking quietly to each other. It's making me feel uneasy.
…
"Can I have a hug?" Kim Bum asks, smiling sweetly with his babyface.
"Nonononono!!! Hug ME Gaheun!! I made you those special cookies!!" Hyukshin whines.
"Yeah!! Wait- what?" Kim Bum adds.
The two begin to whine loudly, and soon Hyungjoo joins in, shouting "No! No! Only I'M special enough!!"
"No!! SHUT UP!!" I yell. Not loud enough I suppose, because nobody seems to have heard me.
*Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak*
"Ow!"
"Hey!"
"Why?!"
They complain while rubbing their heads. I laugh at the sight. They remind me of little kids getting punished for being bad.
"Oh! You feel better now ?!" Kim Bum asks, cheering up.
I nod, still laughing.
"Good! So my plan is working!" He exclaims, excited. I stop laughing immediately.
"Hyung...?" Hyungjoo and Hyukshin are confused.
"Okay. Well... I feel bad, and I knew that means you have to feel worse than I do. So I thought that no source of relief is better than violence. But since I don't want bruises, or blood loss, I got you that." He explains, smiling while gesturing to the hammer in my hand. I swing it once in the air.
"Woahwoahwoahwoahwoah." The two boys ran behind Kim Bum while he put up his hands up, gesturing me to calm down.
"Okay. New plan. How about, you go into your room, with the hammer. And we’ll hide. You can hit us as many times as you want if you find us."
"Hyung!!"
"I don't wanna die!!"
The other two complain.
"Hmph. Okay." I say cheerfully while standing up.
"But give us five minutes to hide."
"Five ?!"
"Uhh... Yeah. We gotta find some ninja hiding places if you get to swing at us as much as you want if you find us." Kim Bum answers, as if it was obvious.
"Fine, call me when you're ready." I say as I skip to my room.
"Hyung... She isn't sadistic is she?..." I hear Hyukshin ask quietly.
"Hyung. You hate me don't you? First you beat me up, now you get other people to beat me up." Hyungjoo asks seriously. The other two chuckle at his comment. I do too, while walking to my room.
"Hahah... I don't know. But stop asking and hide, quick!! The first person who gets found is gonna face her fury the worst." After that, all I heard was the scrambling of them getting up before I closed the door.
Don’t get me wrong, I am sad; I haven’t forgotten Donghae at all. But Kim Bum is right. Sometimes you need violence to express your emotions; it's even better when your victims aren't really going to get hurt. Donghae, this is for you. I think, I can't help but smile, because I can imagine him smiling his mischievous smile, and saying "Get em good". Haha. I won’t disappoint you, Hae.
