4 ¦ Testing 1-2-3

Start from the beginning
                                    


'Watch out, pay attention, BE CAREFUL! 'DON'T EVER GIVE ME THE PISS!', was my only thought.


Why did everyone immediately freak out about such little things? It was quite normal to get hurt or to start stress with someone! What was different here that everyone advised against it? Next time, I'll confront them all.


We arrived in a basement room and Levi instructed me to sit on a small, metal stool. Down here it looked like a torture chamber, no kidding. So metallic and cold. 


He took a pair of tweezers with a cotton ball that he had previously dipped in a liquid and approached me. 


"This is going to sting a bit now, but the wound will be completely healed by tonight!" As if, tonight already? 


I nodded silently and held my lip out to him. 


"Ouch!" Escaped me. That burned like hell! But it subsided immediately and a pleasant coldness spread to my wound. I thanked Levi and wanted to go back up the stairs. But he held me by the arm and asked deadly serious.


"Have the boys treated you well in the meantime, or has something unpleasant happened?" A chill ran down my spine and I jerked my hand away from him. 


"No, it was nothing. I just fell down the stairs. I'm going back up, okay?" He just nodded and sat down at a desk. That had just made me uncomfortable. Why would the boys do anything to me?


I left the Harry Potter-alike-chamber of secrets and went back upstairs with a light heart. Finally back in a nice lit place. So now quickly to the dining room. I need food! 


I opened the door and spotted Jungwon sitting at the table, who was sitting in front of a notepad. His eyes immediately locked onto me and he screwed up his face. "You hurt yourself, didn't you?" 


I replied, "Um, yeah. I fell down the stairs, but I'm fine so far." 


Energetically, he straightened up and gathered his seven things. In a flash, he rushed past me and put his hand in front of his face. 


"Aish... Just be more careful next time, please!" he growled angrily and took off upstairs. I stared after him, stunned, and began a monologue that he probably didn't catch: "ALL CLEAR! YES, I HURT MYSELF. Am I so fucked up that you all have to move upstairs right now or what?! What's wrong with you?!" 


I caught my breath for a moment and sat down at the long table. I clawed a red apple from a bowl and bit into it. They were making a mountain out of a molehill.


Actually, Jungwon had been one of the friendliest people here until now. Why was he acting like the others? Disappointed, I rested my head on the tabletop and took another bite of the juicy apple. I closed my eyes and wondered if I would ever get along with these guys. 


After I finished the apple, I went back upstairs. By now it was already 8:22 pm. I sat down in my room and flipped open my laptop. I needed a few episodes of Alice in Borderland to take my mind off my problems. 


Sometime after about 3 hours, I went to sleep. At some point I woke up in the middle of the night and started tossing and turning. Every position was just uncomfortable! 


All I wanted to do was go back to sleep. I did close my eyes, but I had the feeling that I was not alone. I kept rolling and suddenly felt warm breath on my cheek. OMG, MY PERSONAL MOTEL CALIFORNIA. FUCK, I WANTED TO GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW! 


Death-defyingly, I wrenched my eyes open and stared into silver glowing eyes. I hoped that the moon was responsible for this strange eye color. In shock, I wanted to scream out, but this 'something' quickly covered my mouth and pulled me to him. Shit! What just happened here!?


"I was cold and you were right next door. I'm sorry I scared you." Said a Ni-ki. Wait NI-KI?! Why?!


He continued, "I'll only let you go if you don't start screaming and let me stay here for a while!" I nodded. Being able to talk again for now seemed quite reasonable. He let go of me and I looked at him, in disbelief. 


"Tell me, are you crazy?!" I whispered angrily.


"You can't just climb into bed with me like that!" I enlightened him. He grinned broadly and looked at me, "Of course I can! Don't you see?!" 


Indignantly, I straightened up and added, "I don't know where you grew up, but where I come from, you don't just climb into bed with strangers like that! Come on, go away! What if the others find out? Then we're sure to get a big scolding!" He raised an eyebrow and straightened up. 


In a flash, Ni-ki pulled me back down to a lying position and bent over me. "We? Did you just say that 'we' would get shit on? That means you already see yourself as an accomplice? Does that mean you're going to do something else that you could get shit for, like making out with me?"


Whoa, whoa, whoa Ni-ki slow down. 


"I meant we'd get in trouble for having your ass in my bed at this hour, okay?! And nothing else!" I enlightened him. 


How did anyone even come up with an idea like that? You had to really need it bad for that, didn't you?


"Making out? Are you on any drugs? Go away!" I hissed. 


He started to grin and whispered, "I'm only here because you fascinate me so much. Your hair, your eyes, your body and your scent. Everything so... seductive. I don't know if I can stand it much longer. But for today, that should be enough for now." He gave me a fleeting kiss on the cheek. 


I pushed him off my bed and snapped at him, "That's definitely enough, you creep! What the hell is wrong with you? Get out!" 


He grinned at me, got up and left my room with a wink. All right! 'Why don't you all do what you want!' Was my first thought. 


Nobody paid attention to my feelings here anyway. What were they all always so physical about?


As if they were some animals in mating mood! Totally libidinous... One more move like that and I would sue them for sexual harassment. 


I let myself sink tiredly into my bed and then fell asleep again at some point.
