First DBSK fanfic. I was happy when I found out that this site had a DBSK section. XD I originally made this fic for a friend of mine. We both created a fantasy and I gave it life! LOL I know usually DBSK fics are about Jaejoong, or Micky but we decided on Yunho. The other reason I wanted yunho was because of the banjun drama Tokyo holiday. I wanted it to continue. NEways here it is.
All through my life I have always hidden deep in the shadows. Always kept my head low, using my glasses as a way to hide my face. Every day after school I would spend my time on the internet or buried in books. I hated sticking out, I hated attention. That was me 5 years ago: an 18-year-old four-eyed bookworm who wished to always be invisible, Robin the freak; until I met my pen pal all the way from Korea. He went by the name 'Volcom.' I wasn't planning on having one it just happened, and even after I had graduated I still kept in touch with him. After my torturing years in high school I decided to go study some place where no one knew me.
My flight landed at 9:41 am Sunday, July 26. I had decided to study abroad in Taipei, Taiwan. My pen pal kind of influenced me when he described his type of life. It seemed so different from mine (of course) but his life looked so carefree and smooth. Compared to mine it was like heaven.
I found my luggage and decided to eat in one of the mini-restaurants. Before I came here I took a class in Asian Culture. In that class you were required to learn all the main languages, including Mandarin, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Korean. That was how I could communicate with my pen pal. When I told him I would be starting school in Taiwan he was excited. Although his homeland is Korea he said he would be in Taiwan for a couple of weeks. But with his busy schedule we were not able to arrange a day to meet.
The apartment I rented was located in a place where the neighborhood was close to the market and 20 minutes away from the university. The only bad thing about it was that I had to go through a big crowd of people just to get there.
So here I am pushing against bodies while carrying my purse and my fat luggage. It seemed forever when I finally arrived near the apartments.
I hitched my pack higher onto my shoulders before continuing and as I walked the environment changed from bustling people to empty roads. The farther I walked silence seemed to seep in making me feel a bit awkward. I looked behind my shoulder and found the street empty. I shook my head for being stupid. Clearly I was being paranoid.
I started searching for the paper that had the directions to the apartments. I was almost there, just needed to walk a few blocks and turn to the right. After half an hour of walking I began to wonder if I had taken the wrong turn. I should have been there by now. I looked at the paper again pondering.
"Looks like someone's lost." I looked up surprised to find three guys around me. Panic quickly took over me. "An American girl, wow, how rare." The guy to my left said giving me a wink. His pierced tongue told me a lot more about these men. I slowly started backing up "I'm not lost."
"And she can even speak perfect Chinese!" The same guy with the pierced tongue exclaimed. "So where are you from?" I took bigger steps hoping they wouldn't see, but being the fool I was did the wrong move and the three men advanced on me. I planned on dropping my bag and running using my purse as a weapon in case they caught me. But before I could do anything a strong hand grasped the side of my shoulder.
"There you are I was looking for you." Another man popped out of nowhere. I froze from shock; I couldn't even look at him.
"Who the hell are you?" tension quickly emerged from the three delinquents.
"That's not really of your concern now is it?"
"What'd you say?!" One of the men grabbed the guy next to me by the front of his shirt. "Why don't you scram before we make it our concern?" I took a risk to glance at this foolish man, except all I could see of his face was a hooded head with shades. The guys around us had taken out knives, and were twirling them around. I gasped as I saw where this situation would eventually lead too. Only when I felt the hold on my shoulder tighten did I take my attention away from them. The guy in shades was looking at me in spite of the possibility of being pounded by a gang member.
"Don't be scared."
"Hey! I'm talkin' to you!" It happened so fast that it seemed only a minute when he let me go and was standing over the three guys. I starred as he picked up the guy in the same manner that he was in not too long ago, "Now why don't you take your own advice and scram?"
The other two guys quickly got up nursing their wounds and ran without giving it a second thought. My savoir had his hood down probably because of the fight. He dropped the last one remaining and watched as he too ran. He smirked and took off his shades putting them in his jacket pocket. His hair was long and covered the back of his neck and his ears. When he turned around his eyes had a shine to them. Even though I should have taken precautions from his earlier performance it gave me a gentle impression.
"You're not very smart." I looked up he had changed his language to Korean.
"Oh yeah, I'm guessing you can't understand what I'm saying."
"Thank you for helping me." He stood their appalled at my sudden reaction. I smiled enjoying the expression on his face. "Yes I can speak Korean too." He laughed showing a big white smile and shook his head. "Wow, you really are a rare sight." He grinned at me before offering me his arm. I looked at it puzzled. "I'll be your escort this evening." I looked at him a little uneasy. He smiled "Don't worry I'm not a gang member. Even though I may sometimes act like one I'm a gentleman at heart." I looked at his arm then at his face. I couldn't see a trace of hidden intentions so I put my hand around his arm. "Where to?"
"Um…" I took out the paper I was looking at a while ago. "We should be close to some apartments, but I can't seem to find them." The friendly stranger frowned, "Hmm, well since I'm not really from around here I can't help you with that."
"Wait, you're not from around here? Then how were you able to speak Chinese?" He smiled, "I got those lines from a Chinese movie but I forgot the name of it." I nodded but then remembered that we were lost so I looked around frantically when I spotted a small corner stand with an old lady as its owner.
I let go of his arm and walked over to her. "Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help me find" I looked at the paper again "Meadow wings." The old lady smiled a toothy grin. "That dear is just up ahead to your right. You'll be able to see it once you turn the corner." I bowed slightly giving the right gesture for thankfulness.
"Thank you. Have a nice evening."
"Would you like to buy some sweet ice before you go?" The old lady said picking up a cup of green ice. "Oh no th…"
"One please and make it lime flavored." The stranger had come up behind me. I frowned at him and didn't even look at the kind old lady when she handed the cup of sweet ice. "I saw what you did back there. You're a good boyfriend for this American girl." I quickly turned my attention back to the old lady "No it's n.."
"Thanks, and being the boyfriend I know I should pay but I forgot my wallet so can you pay for these babe?" He walked away before I could say anything else. I turned back to explain to the old lady but she cut me off before I could.
"That's a nice man you have there." She leaned towards me putting a hand to her mouth "Make sure you think twice before doing it. Okay?" I stood with my mouth open. I wanted so bad to yell that we were not a couple and that we were definitely not going to sleep together, but I was courted away by the supposedly "nice man" before I could get a word in. "Come on or we won't be able to get the room we want." I gave the money I had in my pocket to the lady not even bothering to get the change back.
"Shut up! You know that we just met! Plus I don't even know your name!" He chuckled as he dragged me by the arm and finished the rest of his sweet ice. It wasn't that big so I wasn't surprised. "Let's just say I'm a special agent trying to hide my identity by going with the name Ken." I sighed "Now you won't even tell me your real name." I took away my arm from his grasp and straightened up my burden.
"Here, I'll take that. It looks much too heavy." I turned my back away from him, "No that's okay, you've already helped enough." He ignored me and grabbed the top of my bag. "You're lying. I can tell its way too heavy." I pulled away trying to pry his fingers off but he kept a strong hold on them. "I said you've helped enough so let go."
"And I thought woman had less ego than men." He mumbled. "Oh please! At least I can carry the stupid thing." It started getting rough. By now he had a good hold on the front of the bag and was pulling hard. I took a hold of the two straps trying hard to not trip and at the same time keeping him from taking the bag. Both of us pulled back and forth telling each other to let go. Before I knew it the bag had ripped open and I tripped making him trip also. The bag flew up and my clothes started raining down on us, and among them, were the underwear my mom gave me this past Christmas. I watched in slow motion as my granny-sized underwear fell on his face. Not on the ground or two feet away from him like my socks were, but on his face. Of all places it had to land on that specific place!
I watched in horror as he took my polka-dot underwear off his face. He sat up still looking at it and slowly grinned soon laughing his head off. I crawled over to him and took the underwear from his hand. I started picking up all my underclothes first since I didn't want him taking a second look and put them in the abused bag. He was still laughing when I had finished putting all the clothes in my pack. When he finally settled down I glared at him in spite of the bold blush I had, "If you have finished laughing your head off I'll be taking my leave." I turned around annoyed yet embarrassed and stomped off to the direction the old lady had pointed to.
"Wait!" I didn't even pay attention. I was too embarrassed and I also knew that I was beet red by now. "Hold on I finished laughing. Let me just help you carry your luggage." I felt him lift my bag and turned around trying to get it back. Even though this guy was an Asian he was still pretty tall. Compared to my 5'6 ft figure his 5'10 ft frame could still keep the bag away from my hands. He grabbed my hand making it harder for me to retrieve my bag. "Now let's find your new home." He dragged me again still holding my hand. "Hey! What kind of gentleman forces a girl?"
"I'm not forcing you since I'm taking you where you actually want to go. Isn't that right?" I couldn't answer him because I knew that there was some truth to it. He smirked, making me want to punch his handsome face. "But that still doesn't make it right for you to drag me like this."
"Oh just quit whining and admit that I'm right." Oh how I so wanted to kick him right then and there. I didn't even realize that it was the first time my timid self actually wanted to hurt a person, and I mean seriously hurt that person. It was strange that I did not feel scared of this stranger who I had barely met 10 minutes ago. He just really seemed like a nice person at heart. (A nice person with a bossy attitude was more like it)
"We're here." He suddenly stopped almost making me trip. "I see you're a klutz. I better walk with you until you're safe and sound in your room. Who knows, you might end up in the hospital just by simply walking to the entrance." He continued walking towards the entrance of the apartments. "Hey! Right here is fine." I yanked out of his grasp, "Plus I don't want a stranger knowing where I live."
"Well this stranger is taking your luggage to the entrance and if you want it back you better let me take you there." He continued walking and taunted me by holding the bag over his head. He looked back at me, smiled and walked on. I took a breather to control my temper before reluctantly following him.
My condo-like room was located on the 3rd floor of the building. It had a front view of the city as well as the sounds of traffic jam. The kitchen was to the right of the door and the living room was right in front. I looked for the bedroom and found it right next to the living room. There was only one bathroom and that was right next to the bedroom.
Ken ran to the clear doors of the balcony, "Wow! Full view and everything!" He dropped my luggage on one of the small sofas and plopped on the other one. "Ah. Nice and comfy." I walked over and stood over him. "Don't get so comfortable. You'll be leaving soon anyways." He ignored me but I didn't care. I entered the kitchen and put my purse on the small counter. I put the key of the door inside one of the small pockets and started looking for a glass. All the excitement had made me thirsty.
"Hey what do you think of this couch?" Ken said from the living room. I finished filling the cup with faucet water, "It looks soft."
"Good, then I'll take this as my bed." I spit out the liquid spraying my purse with water. "What?! Bed? Hold on, you are not sleeping here!" He swiftly got up from the couch and walked over to the kitchen. He stood there with his arms crossed, "Yes I am and the way I see it, you owe me one since I saved you from those three perverts."
"But that does not give you the right to decide to spend the night here!"
"Actually it does. It's common sense to repay someone when they help you out."
"How can I repay someone I don't even know?!"
"You know my name."
"But I don't know who you are!"
"All the better I should stay."
"You hypocrite! Isn't it common sense to not let a stranger stay in the same room with you for a night?!"
"Actually I think I'll be staying here for more than one night."
"WHAT?!"
"Better make that a week."
I gaped at this unbelievable person. I have never met anyone so……unbelievable! I sighed closing my eyes and rubbed the side of my temple with the tip of my fingers. "What can I do to make you go away?"
He smiled "Nothing." Now my patience was really wearing thin. "Nothing?" I repeated. "Nope." He was still smiling that perky smile "Oh God." I leaned against the counter. I felt him lean in on me, "Might as well let me stay since there is nothing you can do." I glared at him, "We'll see about that." I pushed him away from me and walked away.
Okay I know some of this seems kind of unreal but hey its fanfic. Tell me what you think! I want to know if this story is worthy of another chapter. ^_^
