TWENTY TWO : "you make me crazy."

— doah pov.
- 1st person.

i feel myself waking up. well fuck. my head hurts. my body hurts. my heart hurts. my eyes hurt. my throat hurts. i'm literally in agony right now.

i open my eyes and cough to clear my throat. i look to my right and my brother is there on his phone, then i look to my left and renjun notices me awake and he gasps.

"doah you're awake!" he says, patting my head.

donghyuck turns his head towards me and puts his phone away. "you are so annoying. i'm still hungover and i had to come take care of you."

renjun coughs awkwardly, "what he means is that he feels like shit but came to you because you also feel like shit and he cares for you."

donghyuck rolls his eyes and looks at me, "i didn't mean that."

i sniffle a laugh and nod as i slowly sit up, "so did you two like fuck or what?"

renjun almost spits out his water after i said that. donghyuck was laughing his ass off as renjun put the glass of water down and covers his mouth to swallow properly.

"god, no, doah. we didn't. that should be the least of your concerns right now, you just woke up after running miles to sunwoo's house." donghyuck says strictly, crossing his arms. he puts his hand on my forehead and gives me renjun's water.

i thank him and chug the water immediately. my throat and body hurts so much and this is when i literally regret what i did. the last thing i remember happening was falling onto sunwoo.

"so like, why are you two here?" i ask, attempting to stretch my sore body.

"to take care of you since sunwoo is somewhere right now." renjun explains.

"yeah i was fucking hungov—" my brother said until i slapped his arm.

"boy i don't care if you're hungover." i complain, making him laugh and pat my head.

"oh, doah. you don't know how bad it feels to be hungover." he lets out a sigh in a playful manner.

renjun's eyes widen, "wait you've never drank alcohol before?" he asks in amazement.

i shake my head, "well i have once, which was like a year ago on christmas. but like i'm not the alcohol type of person."

"that's crazy, i thought you would be drinking more than me at least." renjun laughs before he stands up. "i'm going to the bathroom upstairs, i'll be back. i need to do sunwoo's skincare." he says before walking away.

me and donghyuck nod and i watch as he walks up the stairs. when i hear the sound of the door closing and locking, i look towards my brother with a smirk.

"tell me everything." i say, poking his cheek.

he sighs, "doah you shouldn't be worried about this right now—"

"i don't care tell me what happened!" i demand, poking his cheek even harder making him groan and push my hand away.

"fine." he stops, making sure renjun was still upstairs. when he realises no one is actually here, he begins to tell me a whole ass story. to make it short, he got desperate and kissed him and renjun actually kissed him back. though they were both drunk, which is horrible in my opinion.

"he looked hot okay and i obviously have something for him and i couldn't help it!" he defends himself enthusiastically with arm movements and everything.

"so like is he a good kisser? do you want to kiss him again? oh my god are you finally going to be nonbitchless???" i ask many questions.

"yes he's a good kisser surprisingly and i do want to do it again and NO i am not going to be nonbitchless, renjun wouldn't see me in that way."

i look at him with no expression. "uh huh, he deadass admitted to want to do it again but okay." i say sarcastically.

"get back in your own business. your man just got harassed by his ex who is also your bully so i'd rather worry about that than me having a crush on renj—"

"having a crush on who?" we both spin our head to the left and spot renjun standing there innocently.

"no one." donghyuck coughs. "don't worry about it."

renjun nods suspiciously but walks towards us. i whisper 'do you like him?' to renjun and he gives me a weird look. "who?"

"guys why are you gossiping in front of me?" donghyuck whines. i scoff and push him off of the sofa before going back to talk to renjun.

"do you like my brother?" i ask, more clearly but still not loud enough for donghyuck to hear.

renjun pauses, "um, well i guess i'll just admit that i d—"

the door bursts open and we all turn our heads towards the door where taerae and sunwoo were stood. i felt uneasy seeing them both right now but i sit in pure shock and silence.

"so..." sunwoo says awkwardly, "why is donghyuck on the floor?"

i glance down and he's still on the floor from
when i pushed him. i snicker, "i pushed him." i say innocently.

"the hungover got to him." renjun awkwardly laughs, "just leave him there, i'll sort him out later."

the two other boys nod and i then make eye contact with taerae. he smiles at me sadly and i look away, looking at an annoyed sunwoo.

"can you like, talk now?" he says, pushing taerae towards me. "talk and stuff but i don't want you guys doing lovey dovey shit in my house."

i laugh at his words and taerae walks up to me silently. "um, we'll go to your garden." he announces to the boy.

sunwoo nods in response and gives me a thumbs up, "make sure she doesn't pass out again or anything." he says to taerae who nods.

i walk behind taerae as we walk to the back of sunwoo's house. i didn't even know what to do at this moment as i was really fucking nervous to speak to him.

we didn't even argue but i'm still scared of him right now. i can't predict what's going to happen right now but i feel like it's not going to go well.

taerae turns to me and smiles. "i heard you passed out, how are you feeling?"

"fine..." i reply quietly.

"doah." he starts, "i'm really sorry."

i frown, "what are you apologising for?"

"not defending you straight away when jungmin was talking shit, and just everything that has to do with her." he explains, rubbing his neck nervously.

i chuckle. "the talking shit defending thing is fine don't worry, i know you scolded her after that. thank you."

he sighs, "no but i really apologise for her. i had no clue she was still talking to you. doah you need to tell me what she's doing."

"don't apologise for her. and don't apologise to me either, trust me it's fine it's not that serious taerae."

"are you sure? i know she's a really aggressive person and i don't want you to be hurt by her."

what he said made me shiver.

"uh, she doesn't do anything. don't worry." i smile, "i promise you she hasn't done anything too bad."

he looks into my eyes and i look at his sad eyes, "doah do you promise me that she hasn't?" he takes his pinky out.

oh fuck. i always take pinky promises straight to heart and i can't lie like this to him.

i look at his pinky, "i promise.." i say without taking my pinky out. then the memories starting coming back and i notice my eyes start to go glassy and blurry.

he noticed my eyes watering and he immediately embraces me into a warm hug. "doah, please tell me. don't cry. i'm sorry i wasn't here for you."

i start to cry into his chest.

end of flashback

taerae caresses the back of my head, "doah why didn't you tell anyone? and you said no one knows about this?"

i sob, "i'm scared. i'm really scared."

"so she hurt you? she touched you?"

i nod, "only once. she just pushed me down my stairs and i only bruised my arm."

he sighs and he released the hug to cup my face and look at me. "a beautiful girl like you doesn't deserve this."

i look away nervously. "it's nothing. only you know now i guess."

"doah how long have you been keeping this for?"

"two weeks."

he wipes my tears with his thumb. "doah..." bad timing but i just love it when he says my name, he always says my name in sentences and it really changes my mood.

anyway, i was still crying and he was just looking at me intensely with many feelings that i couldn't exactly read.

"you really didn't deserve this at all." he sighs, continuing to wipe my incessant tears from my face.

"i'm sorry for keeping it in for so long.."

he shakes his head, "don't apologise, i understand why you did. but please, next time just tell me if you're going through something. i want to help you doah you know that."

i gulp, "yeah, i will. sorry."

he cups my face and kisses my forehead. "you're so precious to me, you know that don't you?"

i panic internally. "wait what?" i ask in bafflement, i didn't even mean to speak so suddenly.

he laughs, "i care for you, more than you think i do. i'm sorry for not always being with you and helping you when you really needed someone."

"taerae stop apologising. nothing is your fault it's fine." i chuckle. and somehow confidence got to me and i went on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek.

he smiles at my gesture and leans towards me, "you make me so crazy." he whispers.

i stand in front of him extremely flustered. "um, i— well— you— it's fine! thanks?" i struggle to speak.

he chuckles, "cute. now you have to tell me everything she's done. i still have contact with her brother so i can stop her."

i nod, "okay. but i'll start crying again."

"that's fine. cry. just tell me everything, you have me here."

"damn they really be flirting while she talks about her traumatic month." donghyuck comments from the window, renjun hitting him from the side.

"your sister is literally crying her eyes out and you're makimg jokes?" renjun scolds him.

"i can't even hear what they're saying, they could be confessing right now and we wouldn't know." donghyuck snickers.

"wanna bet when they'll kiss?" renjun asks.

"fuck yes." donghyuck replies in determination. "whoever wins gets to do whatever the other person wants?" he asks.

"i'm scared of what you'd do but okay." renjun agrees to the deal. "deal." they both say at the same time.
