°°°
My eyes flutter open, adjusting with the harsh Monday's daylight pouring in the room through the open window.
I wish the curtains weren't peeled and the sun light wasn't illuminating the whole emergency room because I, badly, want to take a nap, right now.
Wait why am I here in the first place?
My eyes wander around to see the very familiar infirmary of this institution.
I was about to get up but the sudden twisting of the doorknob turns me down from doing so, with nervousness and anxieties rushing in my mind, I quickly lay down again and close my eyes.
Sound of footsteps gets closer each second as I persuade my brain to recall all the embarrassing moments of my life so that I can distract myself.
And suddenly I feel a weight over my whole body. Two elbows beside my two sides and breathings are merely burning my skin. It's difficult to act all well unconscious in this moment. My heart is beating faster rapidly and beads of sweats form on my forehead. I'm feeling so scared. It's scary. And this makes a shiver run down to my spine again cause I finally realize that shade of red. That red in their eyes. Who could it be? Why I'm getting afraid? Open your eyes, kick its ass hard and escape. What if it has no ass? What if it is a ghost? Oh lord I swear I said I didn't believe in you but if you save me today and let me live I will start to believe in you.
A chuckle escapes from its mouth making me realized it's a he.
The face starts to come closer towards my ear, stops until his lips are a few centimetres away from my earlobe and whispers, "Red what?"
"Yeah I know you are acting now." He adds and I gasp, flying one of my kneecaps to hit his stomach. Wrong move since I was hoping to kick his balls. I hastily get up from the bed and try to escape but he grips on my wrist tightly.
"What do you think you are doing?" I shout, letting out a cry in confusion.
"What happened?" The blue hair guy asks, tilting his head.
Gathering my guts, I yell, "Stop, remove your hands from me."
However, the words haven't really come out with confidence, at least I tried.
He drops my hand in response and stares at me with a sort of look on his face, one would give to someone lame and unfunny.
"Why are you creating noise?" He asks, snorting.
Upon hearing the dumb question, I can't help frowning, "Yeah, as if I would enjoy a stranger hovering over me and blabbering things into my ear?"
"No, you would not until that 'any stranger' was me." He arches one of his eyebrows, pointing his index finger at himself with an aura filled with narcissism.
"Excuse me? I wouldn't enjoy with any stranger, let alone someone who is not even a hum-" I bite my tongue as my eyes widen. So, my mind forgot about the red eyes for a while but my tongue didn't? Great, just great.
"Not even a hum-? What?" He inquires in suspicion, stepping closer towards me with a raised eyebrow and his hands, now, have been stuffed inside of his pockets.
"Haha...so like...did I say something? What could I possibly wanna say? Have I forgotten?" I laugh awkwardly, my legs taking steps backwards.
Once I find myself not so far away from the door and that Yeonjun is not stopping on his tracks, I ask, "Anyways, why are you here? Got something to tell me?"
"First answer my question to have your answer babe." He replies, a cocky smirk owning its place on his lips.
Not this babe, why is he like this?
Just two steps and turn the doorknob and escape.
The moment I am about to access it, he comes faster and grabs my waist, pinning me to the other wall of the room. His grip on my waist is firm enough to rivet me to the spot.
"Do you want to escape? Why? What were you trying to say? Where did you see a red light? You caused a scene and then fainted. Why?"
One after another, he repeats his questions whereas I shut my eyes tightly and clench my teeth in fear. My hands find their way to be pressed against his chest, putting some energy in themselves and trying to push him away to spare some distance between us.
"I saw a red l-light behind the teacher. Then I realized a student was flashing laser light but the moment I was about to apologize, I felt weak cause for d-Doctor's sake I didn't eat anything." I mumble, gaining some courage to keep my eyes wide open and face him.
Nice plot, I'm just so amazing heh. No because I should be freaking out with the fact that he, no, they are aliens,, I guess.
"Is it so? It's true?" He questions, quite not expecting the answer.
"So true, oh wait, get off me Choi whatever." I try to push him away and he lets go as well, creating the needed distance between us.
As his strong arms aren't wrapped around my waist anymore and the tightened grip has been detached completely, I release the breath I was holding onto, then breath in and out.
Why I was even holding my breath?
"Not even a hum- what babygirl?" He asks again, reminding me that I still have a pending question to answer.
"Not even humble. You aren't a gentleman at all." I respond bluntly, trying to not think too much.
No, I won't think about the red eyes at all, maybe I was hallucinating. No, I obviously was hallucinating, why would their eyes glow red? Exactly, they didn't.
"The teacher told me to check on you, that's it." He speaks, his pretty rude eyes gaping at me, more likely studying my face.
Okay, still doesn't make sense with the unnecessary touches but I don't think fussing about it with this person will make any sense either.
I cross my arms and narrow my eyes at him since he is still staring at my face with those unreadable eyes.
After a while of this silent torment, he finally breaks his gaze and leaves the place without any further words.
I sigh in relief, muttering thousands of swears under my breaths, all for him and go back to the classroom.
A pair of hands grabs my shoulder from behind with a following soothing voice that I know very well.
"Are you okay now bestie?"
"Yes, I'm fine like wine, how about skipping the rest of the classes today?" I wink at the guy who claims to be my bestfriend. As a reply, he bites his bottom lip and make the 'lip bite emoji' face before adding,
"Sure but I have a date in the evening."
"Vivi is mine though. Stop dating my dog." I answer acting dramatic.
"Stop making my pet yours" He replies nonchalantly.
I roll my eyes at his daily response as he shows those most precious crescent eye-laughter. I fell for his smile once but thankfully, nothing else happened.
Oh Sehun and I know each others for three years by now. He is really shy, gentle,mischievous. Whenever I felt lonely, he stood beside me. At first in freshman year, I still remember, girls bullying me for being too attached with him and all.
His popular ex-girlfriend had a problem too. Once this level of bullies started getting out of my hands, he really came forward to keep me safe and broke up with his girlfriend.
When I thought of confessing him about my one-sided feelings, he went to another relationship and he was just so damn happy. So I stood there beside him, happy for him. As time passed by, my feelings started to fade along with it.
That's how feelings are, too accidental and futile. Developing feelings for someone will only lead me to self destruction, no matter how beautiful it might be, I can never be ready to face the dead end that can't be prevented.
After all, forever doesn't last forever.
Neither anyone knows much about me nor anyone cares, even Sehun doesn't have an idea about my past. I just never told him and I won't ever, no one needs to know.
His laughter has made all the gazes stare at us as I can see in my peripheral vision that some girls are literally clenching their jaw out of jealousy.
Thus, we have skipped the classes and passed the vibe check.
