Hidden: Strings of Fate

CHAPTER 53

I looked back at him as best as I could. "I have my ways." To be honest, at the moment empty threats was the best I could do.

"I'd pay a few quids to see that."

"Thanks for making me a few quids richer. Now let me go." I said through gritted teeth. It wasn't that I necessarily hated him or his touch. It just felt awkward to me. To suddenly become friendly with him after exiling myself from him for almost 2 years. That terrified me beyond comprehension.

"Nope. You can try all you want but you're not getting out of it." He held my hands down across my chest. I did a deep sigh, causing my full fringe to flutter. So he was going to make me work for my freedom, was he?

I turned my palms outwards away from myself and put them down rapidly. At the same time, I pushed my hips into his, making myself as small as possible. The momentum caused him to lose his grip on me causing me to be freed. I turned over and twisted his hand over his back.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" With each ow, I pushed harder on his wrist. If I wasn't being careful, I could have easily dislocated it.

"You gonna try that again?"

"Ow!! Nooo!" He used his free hand to tap my thigh repeatedly, his way of telling me to stop what I was doing. You see that's the advantage of having a friend who studied self defence as a hobby. They eventually learn all these great self defence methods and then end up teaching you. I got to say, it definitely comes in handy during times like this.

I let his hand go as I got up off my bed and grabbed my toiletries and a fresh set of clothes.

"I didn't teach you self defense methods so you could use them on me!"

"You said to use that method if there was someone giving me unwanted attention," I replied, exaggerating every word, as I picked up my toiletries. "You didn't specify whether it was supposed to be used only a stranger or whenever you feel threatened. Therefore this is all on you really. You should have taught your students better." I smirked and got out a fresh set of clothes before heading to wash up, leaving Jun Gi dumbfounded.

After finishing my shower, I got dressed and put my dirty clothes in the washing basket. Min headed in next to the bathroom to shower. I got out a fresh pair of trainer socks from my drawer, put my flip flops on and went to sit down to eat. There were 2 plates one for me, and I'm guessing, one for Jun Gi. It smelled so good. Just seeing it made my mouth water. I tucked it right away. Half way through my meal, I got up to get a cup of orange juice from the fridge. When I came back, I found out that a food thief had helped himself to my lunch. I scanned the room for him. I found him sitting in front of the TV. I sneered at him. Making up another cup of juice, I went to go sit down next to him. I placed them both on their table.

"Thanks for the lunch, Honey. It tasted good." He said.

"You're welcome, Jun Gi." I replied. I maybe a forgiving person most of the time but if you commit blasphemy with food in front of me, I'll never forgive you. "Do you want some drink?" I asked, holding my hand our ready to grab the cup the moment he said yes.

"Sure. Is it freshly squeezed?"

"I don't know. Will you let me know?" I asked insincerely, as I progressed to pour the entire contents of the cup onto him.

He gasped in shock. "Honey! What did you do that for?"

"Hmm. Let's review what you did, shall we? You came out of my bed room after trying to do, only goodness knows what to me. You came to sit down and eat. Even though, there was a perfectly full plate of food right there next to mine, you chose to eat mine. You then continued to have the guts to say that it was delicious."

"That was still no excuse for pouring a cold glass of orange juice all over me! My shorts are soaked all the way down to my underwear. So's my top!" He yelled as he pulled his top over his head, just as someone entered the apartment. I turned around to see who it was. It was VIXX. I turned back around to find Jun Gi putting his hands on and gripping his hair, causing him to flex his muscles in the presence of VIXX. "You got orange juice all in my hair and everything Honey!" He continued to blowing his steam.

"Look at it this way. I just gave you a reason to wash up. You smell like you need it too," I held my nose, jokingly. "Especially after last night." I grinned bearing my pearly whites.

He groaned and headed to my bedroom. Min came out of the bathroom and headed to her own bedroom like a zombie.

"I'm going to have a nap, Honey."

"Arasso. I'll wake you up later." She went into her room and closed the door. Jun Gi emerged moments later and headed to the bathroom. I'm guessing he planned to wash up.

"What... happened... last night?" Hyuk interrogated.
