3rd Person’s POV

Early in the morning, she was roaming in her messy room. A heap of laundry piled up against at one corner of the room. The unmade bed, covered with mulberry hued sheets rolled over it in the most untidy style. An almost eaten pizza, atop the table, inside the pizza box; escorted by an empty can. The waste bin overflowing with scraps was in the horrifying view too. This wasn’t a map of a girl’s room, rather it shouldn’t be; but she was always like that; Messy, Unconcerned, Sexy, Daring, Rebel, Loud, Haughty.

She was repeatedly walking aimlessly in her room, wearing just her under clothing; a big 2 liter ice cream box was against her waist, held tightly by her hand. She had a lot on her mind. While enjoying her frozen dessert with a spoon, she was non-stop thinking and rethinking. Suddenly, her eye-balls drifted to one side, one tidy side of her room. It was a fish tank, ten gallon with wet gravel and a charcoal filter box above. The tank had a golden and black marbled fish. Two dead fishes were lying at the bottom. She lowered her back down and smiled helplessly. It was a gift from her lover, the only watchable present she received from him.

She stood back and ate some more ice cream and yummed. There were some really unbelievably uncomfortable and disturbing portions in the room. There were old bony pieces lying under her bed, and a large rounded cylindrical, musty vessel with some sort of smooth liquid inside, motionless. Along with fish, she had another creature in her room. A pure white owl, hanging upside down like a bat, within a confined cage, was peeking at her.

She listened feeble sound of her cell ringing. Licking the ice creamed spoon, she advanced to her bed, turning over the mulberry sheets. Finally her cell phone appeared before her half closed eyes. The eye lids widely screamed as she saw his name appearing on her cell phone’s screen.

“O-op-ppa?” Her vocals stumbled, her hands vibrating while holding the cell phone in contact with her ear.

“Mieun.” Hakyeon mouthed her name.

“Oppa…I was just thinking of you right now!”

“You’re a skilled deceiver.” He uttered some tyrannical reality with a soft chuckle.

“I can’t lie to you, never.” She glided down against the base of her bed on the floor. She was completely drunk in his love, a ravishing grin on her ice-cream smudged lips.

“Mieun… don’t meet me until I tell you to.”

Her drunken state disappeared through the cunning words of his lover.

“NO!” She yelled.

“You’re supposed to implement, not deny. Do as I say and don’t meet me till I command you to… and… accept it.”

“WHY?”

“You have no right to question me. Bye.”

“OPPA!” She shrieked. “Oppa…” Her fingers stroked against her black hair, water falling out of her eyes. “I can’t….” She moaned, turning back a bit, grasping the bed-sheet tightly.

She stood up, eyes crying red tears of misery. Her footsteps conducted her to the cage. “He is so vicious! Cruel!” She positioned her hand over her mouth, sobbing and weeping over his new order. It killed her from inside. It was disagreeable for her to be distant from him even for a day and now he was asking her to stay away as long as he desires. She wanted to rip herself apart or the person due to which Hakyeon demanded such a dire wish. Trail of tears kept on flowing out; she dragged the other hand over the cage and gazed fiercely at the creature confined within. “Mean.” She groaned.

Leo’s POV

We were at INKIGAYO, I was warming up my vocals for my upcoming performance backstage.

“Sunbae!” N appeared after VIXX performance, sweat rolling down his cheek. “Umm warming up? Carry on.” He smirked.

I glared back. I watched Hongbin shutting the door.

“Yo… Ken hyung!” Hyuk embraced Ken as soon as he saw him. They were quite close.

“Ah! Hyuk!” Ken addressed him radiantly.

“Good luck for your performance.” Someone carelessly dabbed my back; Ravi.

I presented a failed smile. My eyes were possessed by Hongbin. To kill my nosiness, I stepped towards his existance.

“Leo sunbae.” Hongbin seemed a bit startled. It was natural because we never talked; in fact I never had a conversation with any of the VIXX members.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Yes… why not.” Hongbin smiled.

“I’ll talk to you after my performance.” I said and left to the stage. Before leaving I saw N watching us keenly.

---

I stepped inside Gapeseed Hotel; Hongbin’s father’s hotel, where Kari used to be an employee. Some guards led me to a hall, where Hongbin was waiting. Glass windows, covering the outer views; no human in the view, just furnishing equipments all over.

“Please have a seat.”

“You didn’t have to call me here.” I objected while settling down on my seat.

“No, It would have been impolite of me. The meal would be here any minute.”

“I wanted to ask you about an employee who used to work here. Her name is … Kari.”

Pouring the wine in my glass, he terminated within the next second and slowly up lifted his head, glaring into my eyes. “Sunbae… you should stop inquiring anymore; or else you won’t find any exit.”

I frowned.

He filled my glass and lowered his gaze. “I guess you have gone too far to turn back.” Hongbin grinned.

“You guessed right.”I confessed. “So… please tell me about her.”

“She’s attraction… lethal attraction.” He poured some in his glass. “Cheers.” Our glasses made sound after contacting. He smirked, eyes already pampered by some thought. He ended his liquor in a second. We finished the meal in silence. He wasn’t willing to disclose any information.

“Hongbin, before leave-” He cut me off.

“Don’t attempt to decode the puzzle you can’t solve.” He muttered words rapidly as he slowly set his stare at me, a stare puzzled itself.

“Um… sorry to bother you.”

“It was nice meeting you.” He shook my hand, and disappeared.

Why is he like this? Cold and sensitive, and ofcourse more mysterious than people think of me.

---

“Ken?” We were in my lounge, enjoying our evening coffee.

“Hmm?”

“Do you know why Hongbin seems so annoyed everytime I see him backstage or off-camera?” I asked.

“Dull question!”

“Don’t be so rude. Just answer my dull question.”

“Well because, he is annoyed off camera and puts on a smile on camera.”

“No… I am not asking about that! I think there’s some other reason. I’ve felt his obvious loath towards his leader.”

“N?” He finished his cup of coffee.

“yes.”

He laughed. “Well there’s a secret behind it.” Ken smirked at me.

NO WAY! “S-secret?” I sat backwards on the chair facing him. He stood right in front of me.

“Yup…” He started wandering in the room, hiding his hands in pockets. “A girl caused this.”

I lifted up my eye-lids and glared at him. Could it be Kari? I saw some bizarre look in Hongbin’s eyes when I asked him about her. Lethal Attraction? That’s what he said about her. “Ken, do you know her name?”

“Song Mieun.”

That was a relief. “What happened then?” I asked.

“According to what Hyuk explained, they both fell for her but she choose N in the end. From then, Hongbin started behaving like this, distant and annoyed.”

“N is a freak.” I mumbled.

He burst into laughter again. “He did nothing wrong. I think its Hongbin who’s a freak. Cant he accept the reality?”

“You wont realize his state.”

Ken stopped roaming, fixing his eyes at my ghastly expression. “Are you alright?”

“It’s a taste he lost.” I folded my arms across the chair’s back.

“What is the meaning of this? What taste?”

“Savour of triumph! He lost it.” I stood up.

“Leo.” Ken’s eyes followed me until I left the lounge.

I stepped up, upstairs to my room.

What if I lose Kari? That would be the death of me. I wont lose my single chance, I would make her accept our offer by the power of money. I don’t want to die before perceiving what she can give to me. I want to taste victory too like N did.

5:15 in the evening when she’d always return to home, return to my sight. I paced towards the fence of the balcony. Watching her was a relish, sweet relish, painful relish.. Time seemed to pass by quickly, and time stayed still… that’s the condition I used to feel while eyeing her. Slowly treading to the door of her house, she had the right key already up in her hand. This time, it repeated like yesterday. She looked back at me, watching her from a gap in my balcony. After looking into my eyes, she swiftly turned away. Unlocking her door, she again stared at me for a second and I don’t know when an immense smile showed up on my face.
Kari, I want you.

“Leo… you have to go for an interview now!” Ken yelled.
