CH. 3 Ignite

Ticking Time

~Mysterious Guys POV~


We recently had our comeback and I've been so tired. Worn out from school and our crazy schedules..

It's been tougher for me since some crazy sasaeng fan decided to break Himchan hyung's wrist making me the designated member to take over his parts during performances, just peachy.


My rambling thoughts were interrupted by Himchan Hyung's voice
"Where's Manager Hyung?"
Snapping out of my thoughts I answered
"He went to go pick up Jongup and Junhong from their after school sports activities"
"Alright, then which one of you are going to go buy batteries for my shaver? I can't go out looking like this"


I looked up at Himchan Hyung's Abraham Lincoln inspired beared trying to hold my laughter back "Pf- Uh hum"
Wait which one of us..? I looked around and found Daehyun 2 feet away from the T.V stuffing his face with chips. I shook my head in disappointment 

"Hyung tell that pig to go, he never does anything besides decorating his face with food crumbs" I said pointing to Daehyun.

Finally coming back to earth Daehyun turns furiously towards Youngjae with his mouth full

"Yah! I don't decorate my face! Don't speak of your hyung like that!"
Youngjae makes a disgusted face trying to dodge the pieces of chips flying out from Daehyun's mouth. Himchan Intervenes the petty argument
"Stop! Stop bickering, its so annoying. Yongguk- ah, do you think you can go for me?"
Yongguk Hyung's voice coming closer as he walks down the short hallway towards the living room "I would go for you but -" 

Yongguk Hyung enters the living room "My condition isn't that great either." 

Yongguk Hyung's mustache and beard was a million times worse than Himchan's. They both looked like those 'out of work' artistes that lock their selves up for months trying to create a new masterpiece. I couldn't hold back my laughter after seeing Yongguk Hyung's face

"Pfft AHAHAHA!! ohmy god! Hyung your face ! HAHAHA! "
Daehyun Hyung rushed to the kitchen so he wouldn't be spitting more chips all over the house. I was now on the ground holding my stomach. My eyes started getting teary from laughing too hard. Daehyun Hyung re-entered the living room and I started to calm down. "Do you guys not know how to at least trim? HAHAHA. uh hum Anyways, how does your beard grow so fast"

"I accidentally took my dads hair growth pill instead of skin care pill..Now to get to more serious matters" Yongguk said with a tone of authority "Daehyun and Youngjae rock paper scissors to see who goes"

 

~Daehyun's POV~


I putted on my shoes and stood up "Why do I have to go!? I'm soooo lucky~"  I smeared with sarcasm.
Youngjae snickered behind me. I turned around glared at him, he stuck his tongue out at me in return.

"Have fun~" he said while waving at me mockingly. I rushed out the door and slammed it.
Youngjae jumped back in shock 
"Oh..You scared me.." with his hand over his heart

I stepped out onto the street and looked up to the sky "Hmm that's weird it was sunny just a while ago, looks like its gonna rain soon. Better hurry"
I raced off to the store. After a couple of minutes jogging I arrived and entered the corner store. Looking through the aisles I saw a bunch of new snacks. Without hesitation I grabbed one of each and headed to the register. After paying for my new snacks I rushed home. "Oh crap the batteries" I pulled out my phone from my jacket pocket and called Youngjae, after a couple of rings he picked up


"Youngjae! Hurry and come here!"
"Why?"
"They said they're going to cut my card because theres no money in it ! Yonggukkie hyung is going to kill me, hurry and come help me pay for it!"
"Aish you idiot, learn to save your money! I'm on my way "
 *click*

I smile to myself proudly and stuff my phone back in to my jacket pocket and walk back home the long way so I dont run into Youngjae on my way back. I'm such a great actor.


~Youngjae POV~

 

After hanging up I rushed to the shoe rack next to the door grabbed my shoes and slipped them on hastily. Daehyun Hyung's lucky he has a friend like me. It was already starting to rain when I left the condo so I sprinted to the corner store . I stopped to catch my breathe before entering. When I entered to my surprise Daehyun Hyung was no where to be found, I looked down the aisle's to see if his fat was looking for more snacks knowing that I was coming but he wasn't there. Did he go to a different store? I walked over to the lady at the cashier
"Excuse me, did you by any chance see a umm.. skinny-ish kind of good looking guy with brown hair come in Here?"

The lady looked confused so I continued "He possibly was trying to buy a truck load of snacks that looks like he'll never finish" Her face brightened at my last statement
"Ah~ he was in here just a couple of minutes ago, he left right after paying for the snacks"
"He didn't buy anything else? Like batteries perhaps?"
"Hmm, I don't think so"
"Sorry for bothering you. Thank you also. "


The lady smiled in response. Just then my text-tone ringed, I just received a text message from Daehyun saying
"Aigoo~ I forgot to buy batteries *pouts* Can you buy the batteries for me sweety? ;)"

OH Son of a flying biscuit! This kid is going to get it as soon as I see him. I bought a pack of batteries and put it in my pocket.
"He's so dead when I catch him"  I run out of the store and ran into something .. wet.. I looked at the object I collided into and it was a girl half drenched from the rain. She was wearing light blue skinny jeans, a white blouse, and a sky blue trench coat..

Maybe I was just a bit too observant, more than usual I would say..  I snapped out of my unnecessary thoughts and offered her my hand as I apologized but she brushed it off and got up herself. I think I upset her.. she just stared at me , as I did the same. It's not the time for this. I apologized to her again
"I'm really sorry about that, I was rushing out and didn't see you there."
she gave me a dull but scary look "No ." is what came out of before she brushed pass me disappearing into the store. As I walked away completely forgetting the fact that I was going to chase after Daehyun, I looked back and saw the girl walking to the window counter with a first aid kit.

She hovered her hand above the trash can and poured the rubbing alcohol over it and the alcohol that was coming off of her hand was red.. it was blood. Her face cringed. She cleaned up her hand and was attempting to wrap her hand with the gauze for a minute now, I really did stand there for a while watching her struggle..im such a nice person so I decided to give her a hand..almost quite literally.

I grabbed the gauze from her. Her hands were ice cold.. soft.. like a soft ice-pack ..weird. I sat next to her then I turned her stool so that she would be facing me. I bet I look really cool and chic right now. I slowly took off and threw away her mummified "wrapping". I finished wrapping her hand nice and neatly. There was silence for a while then I opened my mouth and spoke.
 

"I see why you were so grumpy earlier"

She looked up at me "haha..ha, I'm sorry" she mumbled. She looked down at the ground, not like the floor tiles was more enjoyable to look at than my face. She looked up at me again and lifted her right- now cleanly wrapped hand inches away from my face
"Thank's for this. I'm not left handed so it was a bit difficult"
I stared at her for a while, I was simply going to say no problem when something inside told me not to. I got up and my heal then started walking towards the door. I  stopped, turned around, and smirked - then I teasingly said my last words to her

 "No ."


That ought to do it. She had her jaw hanging after I said that, cute . After I left the store I had second thoughts. I didn't want to leave, I was honestly kind of interested in her.. what if I never saw her again. I turned around and started walking towards the store again. I saw her coming out from the store and my heart started racing. I hastily turned around and started walking the other way. I kept walking till I heard  some guy yell

"Wonhi!"

I turned back around again for the 5th hundred time and I saw the bloody hand girl froze in her steps for a second and turned towards the guy.
I was too far to hear what they were talking about..Well what he was saying to her since she didn't open once. I feel like such a eavesdropper right now.. well technically..lets not get technical.

I shook the thought away and waited for the guy to leave. Instead she did, she tried to. The guy held her arm and pulled her back, by then she looked furious. I walked over to them and gladly interrupted.
"Excuse me but what are you doing?"  I said confidently as I pulled the girl away from the guys grasp and stepped in front of her protectively. The guy gave me a displeased look
"Wonhi, who the hell is this dude?" the guy impolitely said to her. She didn't reply, I couldn't see her expression so I turned back slightly to see her reaction and she looked lifeless, like her soul left her body. She grabbed on to the back of my jacket like she was scared. I turned back to the guy

"I'm Ms.Wonhi's body guard, and who are you for you to grab on to Wonhi like that?"
the guy chuckled arrogantly  

"Me? I'm Wonhi's good friend, an old friend"
Wonhi let go of my jacket and stepped in front of me and that glare she gave me when I bumped in to her- she was now giving that look to the man in front of us, but it was a bit more intimidating, a bit more threatening, a bit more deadly. She finally spoke
"No, we're not friends. Other than your name I don't know you. Stop acting like you're so close to me and leave me alone"

She her heel to walk away and he grabbed her arm AGAIN. Just as I was about to hit this punk.. Wonhi said bye to him with a graceful punch to the face.

" I dare you to put your hands on me one more time Taemin, and see if I dont snap you in pieces like a twig" . She stormed off pretty fast after that.
I chuckled a bit at this bipolar girl's actions and ran after her. Didn't take long to catch up with her since she wasn't that tall..roughly 5'2 5'3? She noticed me when I caught up to her and she turned to me

"Thanks for that, I was trying really hard to hold back. I think I would of snapped if you didn't intervene. Seems like I'm going to be thankful towards you a lot"
I smiled, whoops.. I turned my head the other way quickly hoping she didn't notice. Wait a minute.. she said she was trying really hard to hold back and would of snapped if I didn't intervene.. What in the world is she like if she snaps then O.O - I guess I don't want to find out first hand.  I turned back to her

"No problem, call me anytime you need me" I said as I held up her phone.
she looked at me surprised

"How in the world did you get my phone!?"
"Not that hard when you're not paying attention.."

I gave her her phone back and she smiled, even though it was just for a split second she smiled. Then it disappeared
"Why are you following me? Are you going to walk me home like every cliche guy that tries to hit on a girl?"
"No"
"Then why are you following me"
"To make sure you're safe"
..I mentally punched myself a thousand times for that.
She fake gagged. haha attractive..

 "I'm walking home, I live in this area"
"Hmm interesting. we've been walking for a while and I'm almost at my house and we're still walking the same way"
"Well this is the way to my house too, what can I say. Its like fate"
 I stuck my tongue out at her teasingly.
"Ew out your tongue back in your mouth.I'm at my house now. It's not like you're my neighbo-"
"I'm home too"
 Great we really are neighbors, I just hope I don't seem like some creeper.
"You're joking right?"
"No I really do live here"
 I say and point to my house.

"Of course you do, this is the type of things that happens in every normal persons life mmhm" She said with a hint of sarcasm.

I turned back to face Wonhi. and she said to me with a sheepish grin "You know my name; What's yours?"
before I got the chance to respond Himchan Hyung came rushing out the door and yelled at me from the front steps

"Youngjae! Hurry I have to go for wrist treatment" I pointed my thumb behind me at the 'old man looking' Himchan

"He just said it, Youngjae. Yoo Youngjae is my name." I smirked at her. When Himchan Hyung noticed Wonhi he covered his face and ran back in the house.
"Ya know I've lived here for a while and I've never .."

"We recently moved here"
She nodded in acceptance. "It was nice meeting you Youngjae.. Yoo Youngjae haha. I look forward to you being my neighbor " She smiled then waved good bye to me and ran in her house.

 I walked into our house and was greeted by Himchan Hyung's babbling. I handed him the batteries and blocked everything else out until I heard

"Who was that cute girl?" so I gave Himchan Hyung a bit of my attention and responded to him

"She's our neighbor I ran in to"

"Youngjae you player you, already getting girls when we just moved here~ You learn well don't you."
"It's not like that"

Yongguk Hyung and his ferocious beard came gliding out from the kitchen
"Really!? Youngjae has a girl? Our kids are all grown up now" Yongguk Hyung said while suffocating me in a bear hug swinging me side to side.
"This ferret on your face is gross, go shave it" Yongguk Hyung released me and grabbed the batteries from Himchan
"Right I forgot" and he rushed off to the bathroom. Himchan just stood there staring at me
"What?"
"She's not your type, she wont like you.."
"Pfft. What is she your type?"
"Maybe"
"With your face like that? I don't think so Santa"
"Oh right! Guk!  I have a doctors appointment I need to shave first!"

"This is my shaver, it's your fault for breaking yours!" Yongguk Hyung yells back 
I laughed at my childish hyungs and stopped abruptly. Monster mode activated.

"Jung Daehyun~! Where are you!? You little !"
Daehyun in his bedroom heard Youngjae's outburst
"Oh crap! " Daehyun grabbed his chips and hid under his bed. Like a scene from a scary movie Youngjae slowly stepped in the room scanning the perimeters.
"I know you're in here, I smell the snacks, and you didn't even turn off the TV"
Daehyun facepalmed himself leaving sauce marks from the chips all over his forehead. Youngjae stopped at the bed, he saw a part of a bag of chips. He swiftly grabbed all of the bag of chips away from Daehyun and ran to the living room. Daehyun abruptly got up and hit his whole body against the bottom of the bed  frame and plopped back to the ground "ouuww". Daehyun crawled out like tarantula creating a hurricane on his way to the living room.
On the other hand Youngjae went to the living room and saw Zelo and Jongup enter through the front door 
"Here. Catch kids!" Youngjae tossed a bag of chips to each of them "Hurry and eat up Daehyun Hyung bought it for you guys". Zelo and Jongup looked at eachother and both shrugged. They then glided over to the couch where Youngjae was now sitting and flopped on the ground throwing their back packs to the side. They started munching away as Youngjae flipped through the channels for something to watch. Daehyun finally made his appearance. He started weeping and whining as he crawled towards the maknaes that were devouring his precious snacks "My chips, my new chips~ why!? I didn't even get to try the new flavors ~ waaaaa~~" Zelo and Jongup payed no attention to him. Youngjae shot Daehyun a glare "Shikuro! You eat too much! Your lips are going to keep getting fat!"
