It was late at night and yet, I found myself roaming the streets. I knew I shouldn’t be out, not at such a time. Plus I had been having this bad feeling that twisted my guts into a seething mess. I don’t believe in such things but nothing good ever happened when I had a bad feeling. What was worse was that it never happened to me. It’s like, I’m carrying a jinx and whoever whom I laid eyes upon would receive it.
I shuddered to myself and pulled the hood of my jacket tighter around my head. Logically, if I didn’t make eye contact, nothing would happen, right? Walking on the overhead bridge over the expressway, a flash of light caught my attention and I groaned at my mistake as I set my sights on a speeding car.
Almost immediately, the aforementioned car lost control and I watched in alarm as it crashed into the divider, causing the few cars behind it to slam into it. It resulted in a mass collision and as I tore my eyes away from the spectacle, I was crying and cursing myself for that accident that could have been prevented should I have been more disciplined with myself.
I was barely paying attention when I ran across a road, vaguely noticing that the green man was already flickering. Twin beams of light suddenly swept pass me and I couldn’t stop myself as I turned to look at its source, my curiosity overtaking me. I never should have done it.
I could not tear my eyes away even as I looked on in horror at the scene unfolding right in front of me. I could see a young man looking desperately lost in the middle of the junction and despite that one car swerving to avoid this young man, there were still cars that were speeding towards him. Miraculously, he managed to sidestep the few cars around him except for one. He almost made it seem like he was mocking the cars to hit him but I knew that was not the case.
This driver had apparently got frustrated with him, thinking that he was trying to make a fool out of them and went on a mission to actually hit this confused man who suddenly seemed to be really familiar to me. As he ran in my direction, I heard someone screaming, “No!” only to realize that the sound was coming from me.
I could hear the crunch of bones cracking as the car pummelled into the man from the back. ‘No, it can’t be! Not him, please; I can’t live without you,’ my heart whispered as I looked on at the unmoving body on the ground.
Just then, I sprang up in my bed, my fringe sticking to my sweaty forehead and my sheets twisting around my waist and legs. I could feel tears running down my cheeks as I pulled my legs up and rested my head on my knees. I couldn’t stop the sobbing so I tried to keep it down but obviously, he had to be the one to wake up.
“Bummie, what’s wrong?” Jinki called out from his bed. I didn’t answer. Ever since I realised my feelings for him, I have been trying to hide them from him. Sometimes, I even had to resort to hiding myself from him. You see, he is naturally a nice person and whenever I’m alone with him, he treats me like I mean something to him, something more. I keep telling myself to ignore that since I know that it’s just my imagination; who in their right mind would fall for such a nagging bitch like me? I’m not even going to highlight the fact that we’re of the same gender; I’m very sure he’s straight.
I stiffened when I felt my bed dip down under his weight, ‘Shoot, I should’ve just answered his question,’ running through my mind. “Bummie, c’mon… Tell me what’s wrong. Why are you crying?” he said as his arms naturally went around me, feeding my shivering body with warmth. If possible, my sobs only got harder as I tried and failed to stop myself from falling even deeper in love with my handsome, caring leader.
“Hyung, please… Don’t,” I said as I tried to squirm out of his embrace, regretting it instantly as Jinki pulled his arms away as if burned. I could hear the hurt in his voice as he moved to get off the bed, calling out over his shoulder, “I was just trying to help, Key… But I suppose I’m not needed.”
I gasped, not expecting to hurt him with my actions. That would be the last thing on my mind! Before he could slide off my bed, I rushed forward to wrap my arms around him from the back, all the while muttering apologies through my sobs. “Hyung, I’m really sorry! Please don’t get angry! I just… I love you but you don’t love me and I just don’t want to get hurt more than I already am! You’re always so nice to me but I know it doesn’t mean anything extra and I just… I’m really very sorry! Hyung, please forgive me!” I rambled on for a while before actually realising the words I had uttered, freezing up as I did so.
Managing to shake myself from my stupor, I quickly removed my arms and jumped off the bed, rushing towards the bedroom door but Jinki pulled me onto his lap, cuddling me as I burst into another round of tears. “Hush, baby… I won’t ever hurt you. Sweetie, stop crying,” he said as he stroked my hair and rubbed my back all the while muttering sweet nothings in my ear. His voice soothed me and as I gradually stopped crying, he tilted my head up so that I was looking right into his eyes. “Kibummie, I love you too,” which earned a gasp from me.
“W… Why?” was the only word I could matter to stutter out as my lips trembled and tears threatened to spill again. Gosh, how can he even fall for such a cry-baby like me?
Jinki smiled that special smile before he nuzzled my cheek as he murmured, “Just because I do.”
