Chapter Three: Photoshoot
Kibum POV
I didn’t sleep for the whole night, thinking about what he tried to do; rape me. All this time I was looking forward to this year, and I almost get raped by my leader! Isn’t this a smack in the face? Was it just me, or were there others? And where was Minho?! A knock came to the door making shudder of utter fear, I snuck into my covers and hid my face. The door opened and I heard little footsteps, it, or whatever it was nudged me. I faked sleepy eyes and met a pair of soft ones. The boy was definitely younger than me, there wasn’t a doubt about it.
He sat on the edge of my bed and studied me,” Did he . . . you know, ehm, do the yearly welcoming?” so that’s what raping is called in college, I shook my head,” I stopped him. Did he, um, to you?” He shook his head and a smile appeared,” Onew did it. But, I don’t know, I guess it wasn’t scary because I used to intern here and knew what was going on. I studied hard and skipped a few grades to come here, it really is like a family when you get used to it.”
Used to it? I want to get out of here, as fast as I can. He placed his hand on mine,” I know what you’re thinking; you shouldn’t. I’m Taemin, by the way, but everyone calls me baby.” I nodded and left the room; if I couldn’t leave the fraternity I would definitely go somewhere. I went down the stairs and entered the kitchen, running into Onew. I slipped and leaned back on the counter; he chuckled and lifted me up on my feet. Only then is when I saw Jonghyun sitting at the table, watching me.
He got up and headed in our direction, brushing his hand over Onew’s shoulder, I could see the grip was hard. He stuck up a book of hair colors,” Since the group photo shoot is today I want to get my hair done. What color should I get?” Onew flipped through the pages and pointed to a brunette color, showing it to me and nodding,” Doesn’t this color look nice? What do you think Kibum?” I nodded obediently and avoided Jonghyun’s eyes by looking straight into Onew’s,” It’s better than blonde, I’ll say.” He nodded and handed the book back to Jonghyun with a thud. He ignorantly left the room and left Onew and I alone.
His brown highlighted locks were scrunched and falling loosely around his eyes. How come I never noticed how pretty he was? I guess maybe this was a good time to introduce myself,” I’m Kibum, but I’m sure you know that already.” His lips curved into a sweet smile,” You are really cute. We have a photo shoot today so make sure you are looking your best.” I nodded and his fingers brushed against my cheek while he walked away; like pure magic.
Jonghyun walked passed me, eyeing me curiously. It was like he was talking to me with them, like they were saying: Are you mad? Do you hate me?
I don’t even know how to react anymore, except scared every time I feel his presence. Although I caught myself looking at him too. His new color really brought out something innocent about him; even though I was sure he wasn’t. He probably did more than half the guys in this fraternity. The coordi hyung was giving us directions,” Onew and Kibum on that bed, Jonghyun and Minho on that one. Chop, chop, we don’t have all day for this.” Jonghyun started stuttering,” B-but, you said that, you said I would be with the one I had dibs on!” Dibs? With whom? The photographer shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose,” Just do what I say, please.” He set off with a grumble and glared at Onew with eyes too scary for anyone not to cry.
Onew led me to the bed and made sure I was all set before telling the staff to continue. We posed and took many pictures before heading back to the house. It was a quiet ride back with me sitting next to Onew and Onew sitting next to Jonghyun. Everything seemed so tense you couldn’t breathe. I would get slight gazes from Jonghyun that never went unnoticed. It was like being in a fire.
I rested on the couch next to Onew and he smiled, still tired from the posing. Jonghyun grumbled and closed the fridge door,” Onew, it’s your turn to go to the store for groceries.” He nodded,” Who wants to come with me?” there was a silence and I tugged at his shirt,” I’ll go.” He was awed by my answer, even though it was just the store. He told me to wait so he could get dressed and I shook my head as he disappeared. Jonghyun made his way to the couch and kept a good distance. He scoffed and looked at me, making my goose bumps rise,” Do you hate me or something, now? You know we do it every year. All the members have been with either me or Onew before. Why, why don’t you hate him too?” I made my answer clear,” Because he wasn’t the one who attempted; you were.”
He tried to hold onto my hand but I pulled away at a whistling that flowed down the stairs. Jonghun stopped midway when he saw us; he stuffed his hands in his pockets and sat down next to me. Even then I felt more comfortable being so close with him than Jonghyun a foot away. There were so many pretty boys in this house, he draped a hand around my waist and glanced at Jonghyun,” Is he bothering you? If he is we can go to my room and do something fun. Want to?” judging by the clenched teeth and pursed lips I wouldn’t want to get too involved with him. I shook my head and grinned,” Actually, I’m going to the store with Onew when he’s finished dressing. But I’ll be sure to keep that in mind, thanks.” His lips curved up beautifully while he placed a quick kiss on my cheek, brotherly bonds? I think not, he lightly pinched my cheek and chuckled when he went to bother Seunghyun and Hongki.
Onew came down the stairs with his wallet in his hand,” Ready to go, cutie?” I nodded and we left a fuming leader in the living room. I could swear I heard him say, “You were mines first.” But I let the thought go as I was being pulled through the door and into the car.
