Hey guys! Sorry for my long absence….i kinda had a LOT of school work and volleyball practice to attend to xD so sorry but here is an extra long ch! I hope this makes up for it! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Story Start:
~~~~~~~Ari~~~~~~
From across the field, Mai gracefully fainted and Dong Woon was already on the ground to protect her when she fell. The stranger came over to him, and Dong Woon reluctantly handed Mai to the other man. I was too far to hear their conversation, but soon Dong Woon began to head towards my way. From the looks of it, I believe the stranger had told Dong Woon to check on us. He must have been pretty convincing or just demanding since Dong Woon never left Mai's side in circumstances such as this.
Grimacing, I got on my feet and rushed over to a bleeding, unconscious Hongki. Drops of blood trickled down the side of his mouth. I wiped it away with my thumb as tears streamed down my cheeks. I lifted him into a sitting position and violently shook him back and forth. "Wake up, Hongki!" I cried. "Wake up!" Hmm should I give him a kiss? I don't think it would work though, since Prince Charming is of the male gender, and I, of course, am female. I must try though, for Hongki's sake. Cautiously, I leaned in, tightly squeezing my eyes as if that would help me escape this reality. I awkwardly puckered my lips, an inch away from him, when I heard a soft laugh. Whipping my eyes open, I discovered a perfectly fine Hongki biting on his lip to suppress laughter. Before I knew it, I lost my balance and landed on him. He groaned loudly and I couldn't help but smile. I sinisterly whispered, "REVENGE."
"Revenge my butt," he choked and broke into a coughing fit.
Frightened, I apprehensively asked, "Are you okay?"
He groaned, "I can't breath."
"Why? Where does it hurt?"
"YOU'RE CRUSHING MY LUNGS!"
I scampered to my feet, blushing, but immediately returned to my joking state. I stuck out my moist tongue. "Maybe if someone hadn't played a mean joke you wouldn't be gasping for air."
A hand gently rested on my back and I jumped and cringed. Twirling behind, I smacked the pervert in the head. Dong Woon was laying on the ground, twitching about as if I had just tazed him.
"Dude. She got you too?" Hongki lied. "She kicked me in the nutterbutters before. She's violent and unstable. I say we auction her off."
I glared at him and kicked his side. He rolled over, clutching his stomach, as if it really hurt. "See! We should just abandon her now."
I snorted. "Hmph like you could survive without me."
"Actually I can," he confidently answered.
"Mmhmm. Would you even miss me?"
"Maybe," he cockily commented.
"Fine then! Let's see you get up without my help!" I stormed off, not glancing back once. I didn't want to see him prove me wrong. I wouldn't be able to bear the fact that he could easily replace me.
~~~~~ Hongki~~~~~
I rolled my eyes as she stormed off. Great. I really am in pain and her assistance would be very much appreciated even though I'd just pretend like it didn't. I rolled to face Dong Woon and politely asked, "Can you help me up…please?"
After he stretched out a hand for me, we briskly walked towards the others who were huddled around a conscious Mai.
~~~~~ Mai~~~~~
As Ari came towards me, my mouth spread across into a Cheshire grin. I raised my hand, waiting for a high five. She stared at it, then back to me, and back to it once again. I sighed with annoyance, "It's for smacking him in the face. Geez and you call me slow."
She blinked, in utter confusion, and ignored me. Instead, she amicably waved at the area behind me. Turning around, I came face to face with a god. His hair streamed down and out, reminding me of frozen waves. The sun glittered on his bronze hair and hid his piercing eyes within a cryptic shadow. I gasped and quickly clung to his legs as if they were my beloved childhood teddy bear whom I had hugged until its button eyes had popped off.
I heard a sweet chuckle like the trickling of water. Sungji bent down to my level and delicately cupped my chin as if he were examining a priceless artifact. My face began to rise in temperature and my awkwardness became almost palpable. After a while, Sungji cocked his head to the side and smiled with his eyes closed. He cutely, yet coolly at the same time, said, "You're cute."
My heart faltered and I lost my cool. My brain temporarily was shocked by this surprise so it did what it does best, make me randomly laugh hysterically. My spleen started to hurt as I clutched my sides, trying to stop my uncontrollable laughter. I looked towards Ari to see her reaction, but her face was perplexed as if deep in thought.
Luckily, my humiliation was curtailed with the arrival of a new face. His blonde hair seemed like a curtain, hiding his eyes as if they held a secret. As he landed, a faint scent of sulfur struck my nose. He gaily sang, "I'm back, master!" His mood quickly dissipated and he began to wildly growl as he sensed our presence. He pushed his way between Sungji and I and spread his arms out to protect Sungji. "Who are they?" he sneered as he ticked his head in Ari and mine's direction.
Sungji smiled adorably and politely answered, "They're new friends of ours." My heart melted into a sweet nectar as he said "friends." The guy continued to glare at me. Sungji noticed my discomfort and admonished the stranger, "Be nice Ryeowook…" his complexion instantaneously implied evil as he cruelly muttered, "or else."
Ryeowook sullenly hanged his head, and whimpered, "As the master wishes." He began to itch his nose and sniffed the air as if a police dog tracking down the scent of drugs. I followed the direction of eyes to discover him eagerly and happily staring at Hongki and Dongwoon. His eyes lit up as if he were a little boy opening presents.
~~~~~ Ari~~~~~
This strange person, that obviously loathed our entrails, had taken a special interest in my Hongki. His gaze never left Hongki for his entire journey towards us. Just as Hongki was less than a mile away, Ryeowook took to his heels and sprung forward in a flash. A sudden gust of wind blew through our hair as Ryeowook sprinted on all fours at an intense speed. Within a second, he reached Hongki. My mouth gaped open and I began to violently twitch as I witnessed Ryeowook tackle Hongki and try to give him a bear hug. Oh he did not just do that! I rolled up my sleeves and sped towards my Hongki. Mai and Sungji followed closely behind.
As I approached Ryeowook, I grabbed him by the shoulders and, with all my strength, attempted to pull him off of Hongki. Man he had a strong grip. Hehe I could "accidentally" kill him. That would weaken his grip. Nah it'd ruin my reputation. As I submerged out of my consciousness, I faintly heard Ryeowook cry, "Hongki! Why won't you let me hug you?"
"Let me get up first." His voice wavered as he struggled to fend off his fan.
Ryeowook immediately backed off. Hongki gradually rose, enjoying the precious moments before he would be attacked again. Once he finally rose, Ryeowook snatched his arm and began to rub his cheek against it.
If looks could kill, my glare would have Ryeowook almost drown, but then I'd save him right before he did drown, only to electrocute him. And after that, when he has a little bit of life left, we'll see if he still wants my Hongki. Even if he doesn't want Hongki anymore, my glare would plunge him into a pit of acid, but I'd save his soul and condemn it to an eternity in the depths of Hades' abode. "Yes!" I threw my hands in the air, ready to celebrate for my ingenious plan.
Silence echoed throughout the field. I abashedly whispered, "Sorry," and nervously giggled. "Um I was just thinking about the perfect recipe to kil- I mean cook some delicious… uh… uh… chicken." I glued a fake smile to my face, hoping I was rather convincing. Apparently I was, because Ryeowook went back to drooling over Hongki.
With abhorrence, I threw away my manners and rudely asked Ryeowook, "So seems like you and Hongki know each other." I raised my eyebrow, so that one was slanted, expressing a "Oh no you di-dn't sister."
"Mmhmm," he gaily knodded.
I twinged. Man this guy is rude. "So how do you know him?" my voice cracked.
"That would be through me." Sungji cleared his throat and with eloquence gently shared, "I can see you have yet to share of our relationship my precious Dongwoon. Well, I might as well, then, your companion is none other than my lovely blood relative, my younger brother."
~~~~~ Mai ~~~~~~
My eyes expanded. Dong Woon is Sungji's younger brother! Man do I have good taste. I stared at Dong Woon. I knew he had a brother, but I had never met him. I wonder why he never said anything, I mean he would have the entire female population of our school swooning over him if he had bragged about having a hot celebrity brother. I gazed at him, but he wouldn't look in my direction.
"Master is honest as always. Dong Woon is nice too, but it was love at first sight for me and Hongki." He purred and ran his finger down Hongki's cheek. Hongki cringed and looked as if he was about to vomit.
"Yes, well said Ryeowook. Any who, younger brother, why don't you introduce me to your… lovely female companions," he smirked.
Dong Woon dully answered, "This is Mai. This is Ari." He loudly whispered to us, "Stay away from him. He may seem charming and cute, but he's really a perv."
Sungji laughed, all cool and relaxed, and quickly broke into tears, "Why are you so mean to me Woony?"
I rushed to his side and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "He didn't mean it." I threw an evil glance towards Dong Woon. "Right 'Woony?'" He stared at me with a blank expression.
"Thank you Mai. I always knew we were meant for each other. I mean we ARE very much alike."
I inclined my head, curious and wishing for him to elaborate more.
"I am the messenger of Hades. You are the daughter of Hades. It's fate." His words sent shivers through me. I can't believe Sungji wants me. What about Dong Woon though? I love Dong Woon. I've only infatuated over Sungji. He playfully whispered in my ear, "You're so beautiful." He pushed back some of my strand hairs. He stared into my eyes and grabbed my hand and held it against his cheek. His mouth a little open, came closer to mine and before I knew it I felt the intense spark of mouth to mouth contact. All the noise from around me seemed to silence itself in awe. He began to passionately kiss me and I willingly let him. My eyes stared forward as if in a trance and my mouth hung a bit open. His kisses started to make their way down my neck.
Sungji was abruptly thrown backwards as Dong Woon pushed him to the ground and stomped his foot on his stomach. "I said stay away from her!" A murderous glint flashed through his eyes as he stepped harder into Sungji's guts.
~~~~~ Ari~~~~~
Damn that tenacious Ryeowook. He refused to let go of Hongki. You'd think he was a parasite. Ooh I could just squash him.
After he got bored of rubbing Hongki's shoulder, he came up with the brilliant idea of trying to kiss Hongki. I have to say it was rather amusing to see Hongki squirm about, trying to avoid Ryeowook's kiss. I heavily sighed and approached Ryeowook. I cleared my throat. He didn't turn around. I cleared it louder. He turned around and I popped him in the jaw.
"Can't you see he doesn't want to kiss you?" I pushed him back.
He lowered his head as if ready to charge, and his head plunged into my stomach. I groaned and whacked him on the back of his head. I looked towards Hongki, to see if he would help me, but he was "too preoccupied" with a butterfly.
Ryeowook lowered his head more and jammed my back into a tree. I pulled on his hair which seemed to be glued to his head. He bared his teeth at me, his slobber drooling all over my hands, as if he were about to bite me.
He suddenly stopped though. He turned to look at his master on the ground with a furious Dong Woon standing on him. He flew to his master's side.
~~~~~ Ari ~~~~~
Ryeowook flashed from thin air and hovered over Dong Woon, ready to pounce on him and tear him to shreds. Sungji stopped him though. Ryeowook relaxed and sat down as if he were a dog. He pawed his ears.
Sungji politely apologized, "I am deeply sorry. I hope you please accept my sincere apology and let this be forgotten."
"Promise you'll never do it again. I won't hesitate to kill you next time."
"You can honor my word."
Dong Woon reluctantly lifted his foot from his brother's chest and walked over to me. "Are you alright?" he softly asked. He hugged me and brought my head to his shoulder. I wafted in his perfume and felt at ease.
Sungji cleared his throat. "Are you and your coup by any chance stopping in Seoul?"
Dong Woon glared at him, and rudely answered, "Yeah. What about it?"
"May I please request to join your entourage and leave as we arrive in Seoul?"
Dong Woon didn't answer. I knew he was seriously thinking about saying no. I spoke up and said, "Of course you can."
Dong Woon gave me a look as if asking "why did you do that?" and I answered with "He's your brother! Anyway it's just kindness and he did say please." Dong Woon glared at me and took my hand from off his shoulder. He got up and walked away, back towards the large tree.
"Thank you very much Mai. I'm sorry about the incident from earlier, not that I can say I didn't enjoy it."
"It's alright." I happily sang. I called Hongki and Ari and instructed them to head back towards the large tree. "Hey Dong Woon! Wait up!"
We all caught up to him. "So what are we going to do?" I asked him.
"Well for now, we're just going to sleep. We have to leave early tomorrow morning."
Ryeowook jumped with glee and exclaimed, "I call sleeping with Hongki!"
"What!" Ari yelled.
Ryeowook stuck his tongue at her and Ari became furious. She chased after Ryeowook with a branch.
She soon triumphantly returned, dragging behind her a bruised Ryeowook. She broke out into singing "Shock" and I quickly joined in with her. Sungji joined in too and we began to dance as we walked. We sang and danced all the way back, followed by an unconscious Reyowook being dragged along, and an embarrassed Hongki and Dong Woon about a mile behind, probably to avoid passerbyers from associating them with us weirdos.
