Christmas fic chapter 2
OMG HI BBYS I'M SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING BUT MY LAPTOP BROKE & THEN I HAD A HELL WITH GETTING IT FIXED ;A; BUT NOW I'M HERE AGAIN n___n
“He-ello~?”
Heechul opened his eyes and sat up with a start. The person who sat huddled beside him gave out a surprised shriek and tumbled backwards.
“Huh? What? Who?”
Heechul confusedly looked around him. It was almost pitch dark so he couldn’t see much, but he felt that it was extremely cold, and he shivered a bit. Right when his mind started to work enough for him to wonder where the hell he was, a dark figure moved to his right and Heechul screamed bloody murder. The other stumbled backwards again, seemed to trip over and cursing could be heard from that direction.
“Geez, calm down! What is wrong with you?”
A click was heard, followed by a flame that lit up the face of a boy, and for a moment Heechul was going to scream again because the small fire created terrifying shadows, before the boy put a hand on Heechul’s mouth, muffling any sounds coming from it.
“Will you stop that? I think I sat in a pile of pig’s poo thanks to you screaming!”
“Oh…I’m sorry…” Heechul mumbled, his heart still beating fast because of the earlier surprise. “I was just surprised; I wasn’t prepared on someone talking to me.”
“Still, screaming like that…it totally sounded like a girl,” the other muttered, fumbling with a kerosene lamp which he tried to light. When he finally succeeded, light spread on their surroundings and Heechul curiously looked around. He didn’t remember exactly what he had been doing before he woke up here, but at least he had figured out that he wasn’t in the ZE:A dorm anymore.
Seeing the dirty floor covered with hay and the stalls along the walls, Heechul concluded that he was in a stable and that it wouldn’t be surprising if what the other boy had said earlier about sitting down in poop turned out to be true. Realizing something, he horrified looked behind himself, but calmed down when he saw that he was sitting in a large pile of hay. The other didn’t seem to be so lucky though, because he stopped examining the back of his pants and sighed loudly while sitting down on the floor again.
“Wait…where am I?” Heechul asked, his mind now clear enough to wonder why he was in a dirty stable with a person he’d never met before.
“You’re about 5 miles from Santaville,” the other answered while digging through his backpack.
“Ok, so…wait, Santaville you said?!”
“Uh, yeah? Something wrong with that? ‘Santaville, the place for you to become a happy elf’,” he cited.
“There’s a place in Korea with that name? And who are you?” Heechul said, now starting to feel a little scared.
“Kore-a? What is that?” The other frowned. “Never heard of that. And oh, I’m Dongho. What’s your name?”
“Wait, you’ve never heard of Korea before? What country is this, then?”
Now Heechul started to get more than scared, he felt like panicking. If he wasn’t in Korea anymore, where was he and how did he get here? His memory was a total blur but he was highly unsure that their company would have planned to send them overseas considering they were in the middle of their promotions.
Dongho looked at him as if he had said something extremely stupid.
“Well duh, the North Pole of course?
“He-ello~?”
