Chapter 8 - Navet or Tae-land
Tae Kyung was thinking hard. Not erected penis hard, just hard in general. He was thinking aboot (go Canada) a way to seduce Shin Woo so he could seduce Mi Nyu. Not complicated at all. He already had a few ideas in mind...
Scenario 1
In a high school hallway, Tae Kyung is walking quietly, holding a couple of books. Then Shin Woo appears out of a locker (because he's the school's loser being a stoic tea-drinking bastard that no one likes) and scares him (except he's not really scared, it's only bad acting). He drops his books in "surprise" and starts crying. Shin Woo then thinks he looks vulnerable in his school girl outfit and feels horrible for scaring him.
"Can you pick up my books please?" asks Tae Kyung while batting his eyelashes, still crying profusely.
"Ah! This won't work! I can't cry!" Groaned the man in frustration. "Fortunately, I have an other idea!"
Scenario 2
In the same hallway as the last scenario, Tae Kyung is unable to reach the other side of the corridor. Why? There is a HUGE puddle of water in the middle of the hallway.
"What am I going to do? I'm going to be late for class! And I just dropped my book."
He starts jumping in panic and his arms are gesticulating. He involuntarily hits someone in the face, only to realize in horror that it's the beautiful face of his crush who was about to cover the puddle with his jacket after getting out of his locker. Tae Kyung starts crying.
Wait. It was still not going to work! If he hit Shin Woo in the face, the sticky man would become ugly! He couldn't live with an ugly man while he was crying. Time for a different approach.
Scenario 3 (three/trois/drei/tres/san)
Once again in the hallway (Tae Kyung was very creative as you can see), the poor hopeless romantic is facing a new challenge. Getting a stupid sword out of a stupid rock in the middle of the stupid hallway. He is getting a bit angry at the rock.
Then, a ray of light illuminates a random locker from which Shin Woo exits on the back of a white stallion. He then runs across the hall (still on the horse's back) and grabs the sword.
"My hero!" screams Tae Kyung before crying.
It wouldn't work, decided the man. Because in that scenario, Shin Woo is the one seducing me and I'm still crying! Talk about pent-up emotions...
[Insert commercial song] What do you do when you don't know the answer? You google it! [End of commercial song]
So the leader ran to his computer that was two feet away and tripped. When he finally reached the computer (after seconds of agony) he quickly typed in the words "How to seduce a guy". Conveniently, the first result was "How to seduce your band mate who wears sticky lipstick (in 12(douze) steps)". He clicked on it and read.
How to seduce your band mate who wears sticky lipstick (in 12 (douze) steps)
1. Be ambiguous all the time while touching him.
2. Play with his hair (head hair).
Which head? wondered Tae Kyung. Oh there's a note! "Don't worry, he shaves. There won't be any confusion! ;)" Oh good. That saved me from an embarrassing situation.
Tae Kyung wondered for a bit about what could have happened but decided he shouldn't get distracted. If he wanted Mi Nyu all over him, he needed Shin Woo on him as soon as possible. This list seems decent, I guess, he thought. I should take notes. He reached for a paper and a pencil, perfectly placed for easy access in his highly organized room. You never know when you suddenly have to take notes about how to seduce your band mate. It's always better to be prepared.
After writing down step 1 and 2 (without forgetting the note, just in case he would get confused again) he looked back at the computer screen for step 3.
3. He likes sticky things (like that really nice lipstick he wears) so walk around with something sticky and stick things on yourself.
Oh, that makes sense. Of course, he would like things that stick, he thought while hastily writing it down. It is pretty gross though...sticking things on me...but I guess I have no choice.
He pursued his reading, avidly taking notes but froze at the eleventh step. I'm not doing that one! he thought before moving on.
"Tae Kyung! Time for lunch!" called a voice from the kitchen.
It was Shin Woo. For some reason, Tae Kyung shivered. Time for step 1. He pocketed the list and descended into the kitchen, where stood the tool of his (sub)master plan. He approached him, imitating the walk of a predator going towards his prey. Shin Woo eyed him suspiciously, but didn't comment.
"Oh hi Shin Woo! Do you cum, hum, I mean come here often?" asked Tae Kyung. His face became a bright shade of red after his mistake. It then got redder as he mentally slapped himself, realizing that it could only be noticed when it was written. Damn, I look dumb now.
"Oh yeah! I love to cook," said an overjoyed Shin Woo, who was trying to compensate for the awkwardness of the morning "incident".
"What a nice pair of jeans you have there!" exclaimed Tae Kyung, trying to find an excuse to complete step 1. "I have the same pair. I really enjoy the texture. It is very...textured. And the colour...I like it!" he finished with an obviously fake and exaggerated smile. He then started rubbing his knee against the other's to emphasize the texture thing. That ought to be ambiguous enough, he thought, rather proud of himself.
He then took notice of the other people in the room, staring at him with widened eyes. Mi Nyu was frozen in place, her spoon hanging in front of her mouth (no magic, she was holding it). Jeremy and Mi Nam, who were sitting cross-armed, facing away from each other, forgot all about their previous argument and just stared at Tae Kyung in confusion and shock. President Ahn just stood there quiet. He then started laughing obnoxiously and left. All according to my master plan, he thought.
"JACKPOT!" they heard him yell as he ran for his car.
"He's broken! Does that mean that I can be the leader now?" Mi Nam asked out loud, chin pointed towards Tae Kyung in a sexy manner. Everybody ignored him and resumed their staring.
"Hum," started Shin Woo before deciding that he would keep his cool. He walked away from Tae Kyung, picked up his cup of warm tea and sat at the opposite corner of the kitchen.
He's flustered, proudly thought the flirt-man. Step 1 was a success!
That was so weird, thought a creeped-out Shin Woo. I hope it has nothing to do with what I saw this morning...
"Oh, I'm not hungry," announced Tae Kyung. He then took the long way to his room, which meant that he had to pass by Shin Woo. He took this opportunity to ruffle his hair as step 2 suggested he did. And left, all too pleased with himself.
Shin Woo could only stare at the man that had troubled him so. He then took a sip of his tea, while continuing to stare. As predicted, Tae Kyung came back.
"Do you really shave there?"
"Yes. He does," answered a certain blond. "How did you find out? I found out the hard way..."
"What hard way?" inquired Mi Nam, a weird feeling in his gut.
"It's really complicated. I was there and, trust me, you wouldn't be interested," responded an innocent ex-nun.
Tae Kyung glared for a second before deciding that it was not worth it and left for good this time, leaving a Mi Nam pestering his sister and Jeremy with questions about the "hard way".
Shin Woo, rather embarrassed from having his secret revealed, said nothing as he resumed sipping his tea. He looked back towards the way Tae Kyung left and tried to figure out what the hell the other was trying to do.
Maybe he felt really awkward about what happened this morning and was trying to act like he didn't care by being overly friendly with me. Or maybe he was trying to tell me he wanted to talk? thought Shin Woo. No...no that doesn't sound right. It isn't his style. I'll go talk to him later and see what happens. It might have been a really weird, and hopefully very short, phase.
Back in his room, Tae Kyung was silently laughing to himself. He could totally picture a red faced Shin Woo questioning his sexuality and his feelings. This is simply too perfect. He will be coming on to me in no time. Then, BAM, Mi Nyu jumps in.
He smiled to himself and took out his list to see step 4. His smile took a rather evil turn as he read it again. I even have experience with that one. I might not need to go through all the steps after all. Shin Woo, you WILL want me.
A.N. (Again) We just felt like we had to explain the "3 (three/trois)" thing that we had going on in this chapter. We just find it annoying when people feel the need to put a number in parenthesis beside its letter counterpart (ex: three (3) in fanfics), so we decided to make fun of it in a gentle way.
