Cherries and Chocolates
Kerosene
It was a dark room with a dim light. Kevin felt himself tightly tied to a chair just like when he was kidnapped. Chills went down his spine. He was supposed to be in the hospital but it seemed like something went wrong.
He tried to untie the ropes binding him to the wooden chair. The room was empty so his voice echoed. His body was wet with a fluid which was irritating him. It was not sweat but had some strange smell.
Suddenly, he felt someone’s presence in the room. As soon as the person entered, a strange familiar feminine smell filled in the air. It was a smell of makeup and perfume which indicated that the kidnapper was a lady. Fortunately, his eyes weren’t blinded by any cloth.
“Yahh…… LET ME GO!!!” He yelled again but his voice wasn’t being heard, even by him. He tried to scream but his voice was gone. The lady came forward and stood in front of him. She was wearing black shorts and black top, being casually dressed. Her hair were black, straight and long. He lifted his head slightly up to look at her face and was shocked to see the girl. Her eyes were smudged with black liner and lips were red as the cherries. She laughed really loud. She was holding a bottle in her hand. Kevin keenly stared at it. She opened the bottle and poured the liquid on her head which poured down to her clothes. It had the same strange smell that Kevin had on his body.
“What is this!!!!!” He asked but his voice still was not heard. He was crying inside. His body felt motionless. “NO……… TAKE ME OUT OF THIS HELL!!!!!”
The girl held his chin and lifted his head to make him look into her eyes. “Kevin…. Let’s burn together.” She whispered to him and then lit up the lighter.
“NO!!!!! I AM SORRY…… PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!!”
Jessica entered the hospital room and glared at the screaming Kevin who was laying on the hospital bed.
Kevin opened his eyes. He was sweating and panting heavily. He exhaled out and felt relieved to know that it was a dream. “Ah…. Noah…..” He placed his hand on his closed eyes as he moaned out her name.
“You gotta change these sheets and throw away the instruments you used on him.” Jessica instructed the nurse. “Kevin…. You are so careless… I told you to avoid contact with people but you never listen.” She scolded him.
“I am sorry….. Doctor….” He replied weakly.
“Annyeonghaseyo…… Can I come in?” Bomi asked.
“No…” Jessica replied bluntly.
“Wae??” Bomi asked angrily.
“Because you cant…… Should I tell her Kevin??” Jessica turned to look at Kevin.
“WAIT….. Let us have a conversation. I promise, I’ll keep distance.”
“Distance?” Bomi murmured.
“Whatever…” Jessica went out of the room.
“Bomi…..”
“Ye???” She headed forward.
“No…. Just stay there…” Kevin said.
“Wae???? Why are you keeping distance??? And why did Noah lie to Byunghun? You made her to??? I need answers Kevin.”
Kevin paused. “ Are you sure you’ll endure it?”
“Ye…. just tell me.”
2DAYS LATER UNIVERSITY
“Bomi?” Noah called her name. “Bomi???”
Bomi completely ignored Noah.
“What happened to her?” Noah thought and went to her class. She took her seat.
“Hey… kawai….” Kevin whispered in her ear and she startled.
“Don’t irritate me.” Noah replied and looked away.
Kevin shrugged his shoulders and took his seat.
During the whole class, Noah couldn’t help but watch Byunghun; while the whole class was suspicious of Kevin’s acts, always being around Noah.
After the class was over, Byunghun got up of his seat and briefly looked at Noah. After that he went out without saying a word.
“Noah…. I think he’s gotten over you.” Kevin smiled and saw watery eyes of Noah. “Comeon you got a better man.” He teased. She ignored and left the class.
That day and the following days Kevin would always follow her to her apartment and would always disturb her.
“Hey Kawai~ …..” He entered her apartment after the university was over. “Why don’t you respond?” He asked. He was extremely irritated due to her attitude of ignoring him. “I know how to make her react.” He thought and followed her to her room. He unlocked the room and entered outrageously. She was sitting on her bed reading something.
“Woo Sung Hyun….. a shameless man….” She whispered but Kevin hardly heard.
“If you won’t respond to me… I’ll do things you’ll regret later. Don’t agitate me.” He spoke bluntly.
She still didn’t respond. He moved forward and grabbed her wrist mercilessly. He made her stand up.
“You know I can make you suffer for that.” He lowered his voice and increased his grip.
She smirked, finally giving him a response. His grip loosened a bit.
“Whats this?” He asked while smirking back.
“Don’t worry Kevin, you’re doing a great job already. I am suffering enough just by feeling you near me. You don’t even have to move a finger to irritate me.” She smiled again.
He bit his lower lip in anger and rolled his eyes. He pushed her against the wall.
Her facial expressions tensed up.
“I told you not to make me angry… why don’t you listen to what I say?” He leaned in.
“You can do whatever you want. I’ll act as a lifeless mannequin. I will accept all of your punishments and won’t say a single thing.” She looked at him fearfully. “I am tired of fighting back. I’ll just remain quiet and let you do what you want. I won’t interfere ever.”
Kevin looked into her eyes while grabbing her upper arm. “Do…. Do you hate me?”
“No.” She replied swiftly. “You helped Byunghun.” She added.
“You don’t hate me because of Byunghun?” He released her and she sighed. “I want you to love me.” He said that unconsciously and then later realized what he said. “I hate her… what am I saying? I cant possibly fall for a girl who ruined my life!!! No…..” He nullified his statement while thinking.
She didn’t reply.
He stared at her. She moved away from his sight and went out of the room.
“Do I really love her? Kevin thought to himself.
