The Devil and Me

Days passed and I tried to stay out of my room. I always stayed in the living room, my closet, or Hanna’s house. EXO wasn’t leaving me alone. The EXOTICS noticed that too.

I was on the rooftop again. I always stayed here my free hour. Hanna was at the corner store. I needed to call my brother so I stayed behind. It ranged three times, then he picked up.

“Oppa?” I asked.

“Oh, Jiwon-ah, what’s up,” he asked.
I looked up.

“The sky,” I said sadly.

“What’s wrong?” he asked concerned. “Did something happen with Kris and the others?”

I shook my head.

“No, it’s just...I think my condition is getting...worse,” I whispered the last part hoping that he didn’t hear it. InHo always wanted me to update him about my condition, if not he would get really angry at me and lecture me on how it’s so important to do so. It’s a lecture that I’ve heard at least five times. I had to update him near the end of each month.

“Worse?” he yelled. “Don’t worry, I’ll be there when you get home from school!”

I had to move my phone farther away from my ear.

“Oppa! It’s okay. I’m fine.”

“For now! I’ll-”

“OPPA!” I yelled.

“Fine!” he yelled in defeat. InHo only came home for: whenever I was sick, holiday’s, family gatherings, birthdays, or whenever he had time.

“Thank you,” I said.

“But promise me that you’ll go to the hospital.”

“But-”

“No buts! If you don’t want me to come then you have to go to the hospital.”

“Oppa,” I whined.

“No,” he said, “you will listen to me, or I will come home, tonight.”

“Okay, okay, I will.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.” I was the one that had been defeated this time.

I heard the door open. I looked around thinking that it was Hanna. Instead it was my worse nightmare: Luhan.

“What do you want?” I asked coldly.

“Gosh, no need to be so cold,” Luhan said as he raised his hands in defense. EXO laughed. I scoffed.

“What do you need?” I asked.

“I just wanted to hang out with my little friend,” he said. He sat down on the bench and made me sit with him. I could see girls on other roofs of other buildings looking at us. I tried pushing him away but he was too strong for me.

“Are you trying to get me killed?” I yelled.

“That’s exactly what I’m trying to do,” he smirked. His arms were around my waist. I was on the verge of kicking him in his family jewels.

EXO sat down in front of us as if we were telling them a story.

“Let me go,” I said while trying to struggle out of his grasp.

“No,” he whined as he held me tighter to him.

“What’s the point of this!” I yelled frustrated.

“If I realized that you were going to a different college than me then I would have started torturing you since first grade,” he said.

“You don’t even know which college I’m going to.”

“Exactly my point,” he said calmly.

Gosh I hate him so much. His voice was deadly.

“Why do you even want to torture me!” I yelled.

He looked at me. He pulled me to face him, forcing me to make eye contact with him. He pulled me closer to him.

“We’ve hated each other for years, for more than a decade, you used to torture me when we were younger, now it’s my turn,” he whispered in my ear.

-Flashback (5 years old)-

We were forced to play outside. It was a hot summer day. Some boys around our age walked up to us and asked us if we wanted to play with them. I really didn’t want to because I was already pissed off that I had to play with Luhan. I really didn’t want to go but Luhan did. They wanted to go to the park but it was already so hot that I didn’t want to go anywhere but the house which had nice air conditioning. Were our parents trying to kill us out here in the heat! I was making a fuss. Then I thought of the best plan ever. I got a cup of water that was on the porch and poured it all over Luhan’s pants, making it looked like he had just peed himself. I did it when everyone had their backs turned to us of course.

“Hey boys! We can’t go sorry. This kid just peed his self,” I yelled making all of them look at us.

“What? I did not! You poured-”

I cut him off by dragging him inside the house. I could hear all of the boys giggle to themselves. After that incident all the boys in the neighborhood started calling him pants wetter. That made him hate me even more but I was pretty proud of myself. I mean who in their right mind wouldn’t? I made him famous! HA. HA. HA.

-End of Flashback-

“Oh, are you talking about the pants wetter accident?” I said sweetly and innocently. I smirked. I could hear EXO quietly giggling. They knew about the incident too.

“I thought we agreed to not talk about that again!” Luhan yelled while standing up.

This was my chance. I didn’t want to be that mean so I just kicked him in the shin. He bent forward and grunted. I grabbed my bag as EXO surrounded him concerned. I walked back into the school.

“Serves you right,” I said under my breath.
