Chapter 2.
˝You could close your mouth˝- Ophelia laughed. The boy looked at her with crazy eyes.
˝I'd never imagine you'd be into that stuff..˝- He shrugged. Honestly he imagined her like any cutesy girl.
˝Why?˝- Somehow the usual feeling settled in her stomach. Oh look at that girl signing books, she's so pretty must be a romance novel author. Something with princes and all that crap. It made Ophelia's stomach turn in disgust. Why were girl so stigmatized? Couldn't she enjoy something action and horror filled? Gore,blood and guts everywhere with amazing weapons! Maybe a few trolls or hellhounds. Her head filled with ideas and she saw Jiho's hand wave in front of her face. He pressed his eyebrows together.
˝YOU here?˝
˝Uh, yeah, you should put some sun lotion, though, your shoulders will burn˝- She pointed at the reddening skin. Her eyes skimmed his body. The tattoos were tacky but also special in a way. ˝Who is she?˝- She pointed to a female portrait above his heart.
˝Mom, I wanted to have her on my forever˝- Momma's boy. The first thought she wanted to say but his face made her stop. He looked proud to have her on his skin.
˝That's nice of you˝
˝You wanted to say mommy's boy, didn't you?˝
˝Nope˝
˝Liar˝- Ophelia laughed.
˝You can't prove it, so nope. And the rest? You have quite a few of them˝- Jiho's face lit up.
˝I can see yours too...˝
˝Believe me you don't wanna see them, they're not that...˝- Ophelia didn't finish her sentence. She sent him a wink instead.
˝Let me guess, gore?˝
˝Yap˝
˝You woman are weird˝- Ophelia laughed. He said with such a weird face, nose scrunched up eyes twinkling.
˝Believe me you're not the first one to say that, in fact I've taken it as a compliment˝- They were silent for a moment ˝You're shoulders will burn˝- The skin was becoming a deeper red now. How was he that pale?
˝Well then help me put lotion on˝- Jiho pouted at her.
˝How? Jump over the balcony railing and break my neck?˝- She glared back at him.
˝Yeah, it's novel material isn't it?˝- He stuck his tongue out at her. Ophelia growled and put her hair in a messy bun. It was getting to hot outside. The sun was high up, frying mercilessly.
˝YOU little fucker...˝- She gasped and reached for the water bottle which was empty.
˝I have water...˝- Jiho said from the other side of the railing.
˝Are you bribing me with water!?˝
˝Is it working?˝
˝hahahaah! Oh god, that's a first˝
˝Glad I could be your first something˝
˝Oh god˝
˝What?˝
˝You're so cheesy I should put you on pizza hahaha˝- Ophelia was holding her sides and giggling. She saw Jiho pout at her and that sent her into another fit of giggles, which only made the pout bigger and more exaggerated.
¨Fine, you don't have to come. I'll go burn and suffer alone.˝- Emphasizing the hurt part he shoot her a look and got up from the seat. Ophelia was thirsty and hungry, her head was starting to feel to warm, probably from not wearing a hat and she had some ideas in her head that she had to jog down fast. Rice, monsters and weird games. She scribbled quickly in her notepad as a water bottle hit her head.
˝WHAT THE?˝- Jiho shrugged from the other side of the railing.
˝You need to water yourself˝
˝I'm not a plant!˝- Ophelia screamed back. He laughed his ass off and waved.
˝Wanna come over? I have water AND food˝- She was about to protest when he stomach churned. Well, breakfast was a while back, she could eat something.
˝I would but I already have something planed with a friend˝- She checked her phone and found a message.
˝Why are you frowning?˝- Jiho asked leaning in the door way.
˝Nana ditched me, apparently she found a cute asian guy while shopping and he's to damn adorable to pass.˝- Ophelia sighed. All of her friends were out, having fun and she was stuck with a half naked half burned cute Asian guy. Okay, so maybe she wasn't that bad off. ˝I'll have to work you know...˝
˝Me too, at least you won't be alone˝- he gave her a big smile that made her grin back.
˝You want me to put that lotion on you that bad, eh?˝
˝Oh nooo! You found out!˝- Ophelia watched as he put his arms up dramatically, eyes wide and mouth gaping. He was an idiot. Cute but still idiot.
˝Fine idiot, I'll come over˝- Without waiting for his response, she shut the balcony door and went to take her supplies, her laptop, notepad, cell phone and change her shirt. The spaghetti top was starting to sting on her shoulders. She babbled about his burnt shoulder swhen she got them too. That would sting for a while. She peeled the top off and stared at her tattoos in the mirror. Moths, spiders and bats adorned her upper left shoulder with Nosferatu from the original German movie. She spent years inking everything she found spooky and beautiful and that included a zombie hello kitty on her inner left arm. So much for spooky. Six lines on the side of her stomach were now arrows. Her goal was to fill every part of her skin that wasn't like she desired it to be, even if that meant inking herself completely up.
˝You like burton stuff?˝- Jiho asked opening the door. Ophelia looked confused. ˝Your shirt˝- She had her Ex's oversized t-shirt on, oops.
˝It's just a brand˝- She came in. The room looked different. Like he cleaned up hastily. ˝You cleaned˝
˝Uhm no..˝
˝There were coke cans, boxers and other junk all around. How come you're alone? Aren't there more of you in the band? WAIIIT˝- Ophelia's stomach turned nervously. She suddenly didn't feel so good about coming over to his room. They were alone, very much alone. She tried to breathed slowly and clam herself but it didn't work. ˝I uhm...have to sit down˝- Landing not so graciously on her butt Ophelia exhaled hard. Jiho was beside her looking worried.
˝Sunfever? Hunger? Cold?˝- She shook her head.
˝I uhm...˝
˝Lie down.˝- Contradicting his words he picked her up bridal style and carried to one of the bedrooms. Panick rose in her stomach and she tried to free herself from his gasp only making them both stumble on the bed, Jiho landing above her. ˝Would you relax? I won't hurt you˝
˝Says who?˝- She said back defiantly, anxiety creeping on her fast. The room seemed to shrink fast caging her underneath him.
˝Is that it?˝
˝What?!˝
˝You're scared to be alone with me. I won't hurt you, some of the guys are out some of them sleeping in the room next to this. I wanted to keep you company, since our friends all ditched us. You can go back if you want to. I'm not keeping you a prisoner.˝- He let go of her and got of the bed. Ophelia felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment. Fact is, she didn't know him but he didn't seem like a bad guy or even capable of hurting females. Appearances could fool but she didn't feel it, no hidden hostility, maybe hidden dorkness but that was it. She frowned at the ceiling and rolled in a ball.
˝I'm sorry˝- She mumbled through her hands. The bed moved, like adding a weight on one side. She felt Jiho's hand on her shoulder.
˝Hey, it's okay. Just relax okay? I'll go grab some ice cream and coke?˝- Ophelia peered from under her hands and nodded.
˝Vanilla please˝
˝Both?˝
˝Why not?˝- She took her hands from her face and smiled a little.
˝Just wait here okay? Here˝- He gave her the laptop, cellphone and notepad she carried to his room and got of the bed. ˝I'll be back in a second˝- She watched as he almost tripped over himself trying to run as fast as he could. Weirdo. The door shut, he must have gone to the lobby downstairs to grabcokes and order ice cream. Slowly she relaxed and opened her laptop turning it on. The familiar windows tune started and she heard the door open.
˝You're that fast back?˝- Ophelia asked eyes glued to the screen.
˝Who are you?˝- An unknown male voice asked and Ophelia screamed.
