Unlock this heart. ♥ chapter 6

“Oh, shit.”
“Dubu!”
“You told me to slow down!”
“Not this slow!”
Around us were honking cars, annoyed at the exaggerated slowness of our pace. Some of them had found a way to surpass us, but the rest remained behind us, honking their horns as if they enjoyed torturing me with the annoying sound. I groaned and closed my eyes, my head pounding from everything that’s happening. “Fuck, just let Key drive already.” I murmured.
Mere seconds after I said that, all three of them were arguing.
“Let me drive!”
“No Taemin, you don’t even have your license yet!”
“I have my learners? Plus I think I’d be way better than Dubu either way.”
“Why don’t I drive instead? Minho wanted me to drive, right?” Key questioned, and I shook my head, stating that I didn’t care.
After what seemed like hours (which was only about 30 minutes), Onew finally pulled over (he refused to let anyone else take over the wheel), as we reached the hospital. I unbuckled my seatbelt quickly and got out, wobbling a bit.
Key called out after me, and before I knew it, he was beside me, putting my arm around his shoulder for support. “Geez. You could have waited for one of us to help you.” He said with a smile.
“Yeah.” Taemin agreed, placing my other arm around his shoulder. By now, the two of them were pretty much carrying me themselves that my feet were just dragging across the concrete sidewalk.
“You guys, wait up!” Onew half tripped on his way towards us as he ran, waving his arms around.
The two stopped to let him catch up, and not long after, a terrible sound was heard.
“OH MY GOD. IS THAT SHINEE?!?”
At first, I didn’t understand. But one uttered word gave everything sense again.
“Fangirls.”
The three stared at each other wide-eyed in horror, then at me.
“Key, you get Minho in there. Taemin and I will try to hold them off.” Onew said, and for the first time, I think his face was actually serious. Key nodded and in a flash, he was half running while dragging me on the asphalt, trying to get away from all of them as fast as possible.
He kept looking back, and I could hear his panting, his chest rising and falling as he struggled to support me up. “Key, I’m fi-“
“Shut up and just hold on. If I let you walk by yourself they’ll catch up to us.” He said in a hushed tone.
I looked back, and the swarm of girls had already crowded around Onew and Taemin, blocking them completely out of sight. I had seen sights like that in magazines and on tv, but it looked scary in real life. I shuddered a bit as Key continued to run. Judging by his breathing and everything, he was obviously completely exhausted. I knew I had to do something soon before I start owing my whole life to him.
“You could ask for help if you need it, you know.” I said, lifting my legs off being dragged on the ground and started walking and running as he pulled me. He smiled in return and looked back.
“Crap. Think they’ve noticed I snuck away…”
Sure enough, as I looked back, one fangirl pointed towards our direction. Key’s exhausted face turned to an expression of complete horror, and he tried to run faster, but tumbled down to the ground with me instead. I closed my eyes and was preparing for the pain of my already bruised body hitting the ground, but instead, I felt something soft underneath me.
I opened my eyes, and Key was underneath me. His eyes were wide in shock as he stared up at me, and I didn’t realize why, until a few seconds after. There was something warm and soft against my lips. It was Key’s! My eyes quickly widened at the realization, as I stood up quickly. Sure enough, the sound of the fangirls advancing towards Key was getting louder.
“G-get out of here before they get here. You can get inside by yourself, right?” He looked up at me, before standing up himself. “Hurry!” he spun me around, then pushed me towards the hospital. “We’ll come get you here after they all go away or something. SO DON’T LEAVE THE HOSPITAL. Got it?” He said in a stern voice.
I sighed. I couldn’t believe he was getting away with stealing my first kiss, and just pretended that it didn’t just happen. I was planning on ditching them. But I guess after all that Key’s done for me now, I really couldn’t escape anymore. Hesitantly, I nodded and turned back slightly. “I won’t.” I said quietly, before half limping, half running towards the hospital.
When I got inside, I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes. My hands found their way on my lips, my fingertips slowly tracing them. They still felt warm. It was like Key was still there with me. There was a weird zap of electricity through my body, and my heart was beating faster than usual. Then again, I figured that was because I just ran. Am I starting to like him? No. No! It couldn’t be. It’s not right for me to think that.
I can’t be…
“Oh, shit.”
“Dubu!”
“You told me to slow down!”
