I had watched my hyungs drink themselves stupid. It was twenty minutes to 3am and Crystal wasn't back yet. I was getting worried.
"Stop watching the clock pabo. She's a grown woman."
"I know Kibum. I'm worried though."
"Yeah me too. Maybe you should text her, see where she's at..."
Just then the front door opened and Crystal walked in, she looked at us and smile
"Hey guys, you're still up?"
"Yeah, come drink with us..." Key said scooting down on the floor. "Ooh bring the Vodka and Rum. Do you have shot glasses?" Crystal smiles and grabs the requested items off the countertop and out of her cupboard before coming over and sitting on the floor next to Key and I. She hands out the shot glasses and places the liquor in the middle, where it could be easily obtained by either of us.
"I'm sorry about earlier guys, I was a little high-strung..."
"Don't explain yourself Crystal. We all have moments like that." Jinki said, and Crystal nodded.
"Look how about we play a game, hm? Something to loosen you up a bit..."
"Sure. What were you thinking?"
"Well I read about a game called, 'I never...'"
"Oh yeah, I know how to play...who do you want to start off with?"
"Well why not you, since you're the oldest..."
"Okay...let's see, I never...sang infront of a crowd bigger than a hundred people strong..." Crystal says, looking at all three of us. I smirk, looking at her while taking the bottle of rum in the middle and pouring myself a shot. Jinki took the bottle from me next and poured himself a shot, while Key preferred the vodka. We took our shots at the same time.
The game continued on like that, until we were blanked out, falling all over each other, saying incoherent things.
The next thing I know, I’m waking up with a pounding headache, dry mouth and a completely numb arm. I glanced over, my eye adjusting to the light streaming in through the blind, to see the cause of my numb arm. Crystal was passed out, using my arm as a makeshift pillow. I let out a breath as I slowly slid my arm out from underneath her, careful not to wake her up. My world spun and I nearly fell over on my hyungs. I swear I still felt drunk. Maybe I was.
I gathered my bearings and steadied myself using the arm of the couch, I then let go of the arm, and tried to scoop Crystal into my arms. Nope, this wasn’t happening, she was a dead weight. Literally. I stumbled over to Jinki as patted his leg.
“Jinki…Jinki!”
“Nghn…what…”
“Help me get Crystal to her room…”
“Minho what the hell, what time is it?”
“I don’t know…please hyung?”
“All right. What’s in it for me?”
“I’ll let you share the bed with us, only if you promise to behave.”
“I’m too hungover for this shit Minho, seriously. What the hell am I going to do in my state…I can even see straight let alone fuck your little girlfriend…I’ll help you as long as I get to sleep in a real bed…”
“What about Kibum…”
“Fuck Kibum. He took the fucking couch last night and kicked me on the floor.”
“Sounds like him.” I snickered, as I began sitting Crystal up, hooking my arms under hers underarms while Jinki came around and picked up her feet.
“Aish, she is a dead weight…damn.”
“Quit commenting and help me out damn it.”
“Fine.” With that Jinki and I began moving her out of the living room. We successfully made the short trip to the bedroom and laid her down on the bed. Then another dilemma hit us at the same time. “So…who’s sleeping next to her? As much as I like you, I don’t want to feel your morning wood, and I’m sure you don’t want to feel mine…”
“Ugh, do you have to be so awkward?” I ask looking at him. I held my hand up to stop him from speaking. “Look, you get on one side of her, I’ll take the other side.”
“Okay. I like that arrangement.” Jinki said, nodding before helping me move Crystal to the middle of the bed. He climbed into the bed on his right, while I took the left, nearest the door. Crystal’s bed was so damn comfortable, Jinki was lightly snoring within a minute of lying down and I was right behind him.
The next time I woke up, everyone was gone. There was the smell that lingered in the air…it smelled just like Key’s hangover soup. My stomach rumbled at me, announcing the hunger that was ravaging my body. I slid out of bed, my head seemingly hurting more than before and super dehydrated. There was a note left on the counter, along with a bottle of water and two Aleve, the handwriting was Crystal’s.
Hey Minho,
Key and Onew are taking me out, we’ll be back to pick you up for supper and a movie around 7…see you then!
P.S. Key left you some hangover soup. Best. Stuff. Ever! Also there’s an outfit waiting for you on the couch, Key took the liberty of picking it out for you, I would advise you wear it.
I glanced at the clock on Crystal’s wall. It was a little after 5…I had plenty of time, but first….I opened the bottle of water and popped the two Aleve into my mouth before I opened the fridge door and took out the leftover bowl of soup. I popped it in the microwave for a couple of minutes; in the meantime I grabbed a spoon. I partook of the remedial food, savoring the flavor. This soup was way different than what Key normally prepared. His soup usually contained whatever we had in the house at the time, which was usually Ramen, rice, tofu, chicken, kimchi, Korean spices and clamato juice. This soup had noodles, hamburger, clamato juice and huge chunks of canned tomatoes. It was delicious none the less.
I finished the bowl in no time at all and I went to investigate what Key had set out for me. It wasn’t bad, you could definitely tell it wasn’t something I would normally put together, but seeing as they were the only clean clothes I had…it would have to do.
I stalked into the bathroom, taking the outfit with me and disrobed to begin a hot shower, feeling a bit better than I did before. After the shower, I got dressed and began to style my hair when I heard the door open and laughter reverberate within the walls of the apartment. Curious, I stepped out making sure to turn the light off in the bathroom. When I rounded the corner the sight before me made my heart nearly stop.
“What did you do to her?” Key looked at me, shocked.
“Is that some way to greet your friends and future girlfriend pabo?”
“No…I mean, she’s beautiful, gorgeous…”
“It’s called a make-over Minho. We took her shopping and spoiled her for you, since you were sleeping off one hell of a hangover. You’re welcome by the way.”
“Why though? She was beautiful anyway.”
“Because we felt like it? What the hell we’re we supposed to do all day? Just sit around and wait for you to wake up? Boring…”
“Key...no need to be rude.” Jinki said, his peace keeping instinct kicking in.
“All right. But she looks great, no?”
“She's gorgeous.” I said, my eyes going over Crystal's ensemble. She was dressed in a black lace cocktail dress that had a steep neckline which was adorned with a beautiful silver and diamond necklace. She had a matching bracelet and earrings. Her hair was cut in a medium long bob and dyed black. Her makeup was professionally done and she was breathtaking. I walked over and fingered the necklace, causing Crystal to blush.
“Is it real?”
“Yes, cost me a pretty penny, but I told her it's a gift from you to her. You can pay me back later for it.” Key said, and a turned my head to see what they were wearing. They were casually dressed in formal attire. I noticed that I matched. I finally put two and two together.
“Are we going someplace special?”
“You could say that.” Jinki said, grabbing an apple off Crystal’s center kitchen isle, he was just about to take a bite when Key began nagging again.
“Aish! Jinki, didn’t you get enough to eat earlier?” This caused him to put the apple back and look at Key.
“I was just going to snack?”
“We’re about to go out to dinner, can’t you wait?”
“I guess I can…”
I grabbed my wallet and wrapped an arm around Crystal. God, she even smelled heavenly. It was going to be a difficult task keeping my hands off of her. I could feel myself harden, as my mind was bombarded by the vision of Crystal's breasts in the open air the night before. Why couldn't I bring myself to give it to her last night? Great, now I'm horny.
“You okay Minho?” Crystal asked, looking up at me. I blushed, and looked down at the floor shamefully.
“Yeah. I'll be all right.” I said, trying to be stealthy about readjusting myself. Luckily, noone noticed. I took my keys out of my pocket, since I knew she knew where we were going. Crystal, seeing the keys grasped them questioningly.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, you know where we're going, and I know you have Jasmine's carseat in your car, I'm sure Key or Jinki wouldn't like to sit in that...”
“Yeah, although I'm sure Key could fit in it just fine...” I let out a laugh. Key looked at us as we walked out of the apartment building.
“Are you talking about me?”
“Oh no.” Crystal said quickly, looking at up me. “Were we Minho?”
I shook my head quickly. “No, of course not.”
Key eyed us suspiciously before stepping into the car. “Whatever Choi Minho. I swear that you are secretly in love me with and refuse to admit it…” This caused Crystal to roll her eyes a mutter a ‘You wish,’ under her breath.
Crystal placed the key in the ignition and turned the car on. She drove into downtown Minot and pulled in front of a building with just the number 10 on it. Jinki looked up at the building.
“Is this the place Crystal?”
“Yep, you guys said fancy, well this is the fanciest place I can think of…I haven’t eaten here…”
“Why not?” Key asked, looking at Crystal. As we all exited the vehicle and began making our want itn
“Too rich for me, plus I never get to the downtown area…” Crystal said, looking at Key. Jinki turned to me.
“Have you eaten here Minho?” I shook my head.
“Can’t say that I have honestly.” Key went ahead of us and checked in with the hostess that manned the counter as we entered the restaurant.
The place was nice. Like…modern 5 star nice. They seated us at a table of six on the upper level that overlooked the restaurant. We were a bit confused as to why we were seated at a table of six when the reason was clear moments later when a gorgeous woman and her husband, walked up the steps moments later. She came over and greeted Key with a kiss on the cheek.
“Key! How are you?”
“I’m good! How have you been!?!?”
“Whoa…wait, you two know each other?” Crystal said as if she recognized the woman. I, however, was absolutely clueless on who these people were the woman seemed familiar, I couldn’t figure out where I had seen her before.
“Yeah, we met in Korea a couple of years ago, and remained good friends ever since.”
“Well damn, nice to meet you, I’m Crystal…”
“Nice to meet you Crystal…” I leaned in and whispered in Crystal’s ear.
“Who are these people?”
“Oh they’re—“ Before she could answer Key interrupted her.
“Guys, this is Stacy Ferguson, aka Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas and her husband Josh Duhamel…he owns this place.”
“Wow, this is certainly an honor…I’m a huge fan…”
“Oh please, don’t, I should be saying the same to you guys, you guys are huge in Korea…” Fergie said as her husband pulled out her seat and she sat down. “So what are you guys doing here?”
“Celebrating Minho’s birthday, he’s 22 now.”
“Aw…well you guys can have whatever you want, it’s on the house…”
“No, we can’t possibly do that…” Jinki began to protest.
“No, no, seriously, it’s the least we can do, you’re our guests. Any friend of my wife's is a friend of mine.” Everyone seemed to relax at this point as Josh ordered a few bottles of champagne, white and red wines that he explained would compliment any item ordered off of the menu. We ordered our choices with Fergie telling us not to order dessert they had a surprise on the way for that course but wouldn’t give anymore details than that. The order at the table was Fergie, Key, Jinki on one side, while Josh and I sandwiched Crystal in the middle with Josh sitting across from his wife. Crystal looked at me and asked if I wanted to split an appetizer with her. I nodded, and asked what she wanted. She was split between the Salmon and the Pheasant Strips. I urged her to get the Pheasant strips. Jinki and Key decided to split a small cheese tray, while Josh ordered Kalamari for himself and his wife.
I decided upon the smoked half duck, Crystal, on a medium-rare bison strip, Jinki went with the curry elk tips with rice, while Key went light with a Chilean Sea Bass. Josh and Fergie went with pasta dishes. The conversation consisted around SHINee and our future plans, Fergie's plans to get back together with the Black Eyed Peas for another studio album and Josh's plans in acting before the food got there. Crystal, was pretty quiet most of the time. I could tell she felt like a 3rdwheel through this whole thing, possibly even unwanted. I held her hand underneath the table and met her gaze.
“If I didn't know any better, I'd say someone was smitten by the love bug.” Josh remarked. At that second, our appetizers showed up and Crystal and I pulled our hands apart and I cleared my throat, feeling my cheeks burn with embarrassment. “Oh don't be embarrassed. She's a catch, a nice enough girl.” Crystal smirked and stared at the table before looking up at Josh.
“Thank You Mr. Duhamel.”
“Not a problem, sweety.” He then turned to me. “Minho, don't worry about it. This is America, no need to be ashamed of how you feel. Crystal's a beautiful woman...” Fergie chimed in as well.
“Yeah, don't be shy. We're all adults here...” I glanced over at Key who was rolling his eyes at me.
“I'm sorry...” I apologized looking at Fergie and Josh.
“Pheasant strips?” The waitress asked, and Crystal raised her hand up, indicating our dish. I turned my eyes to the plate as the scent of the asian-style sauce hit my nose. I reached out and grabbed a piece and began munching on it. They were really good...really really good.
Jinki's cheese tray had 3 different cheeses with some kind of fruit jam to put on the crackers. It was plentiful, we had gotten about ten strips, and Josh allowed Crystal to try their Calamari, in which she gave me a bite. Everything I tried was delicious. Jinki managed to eat the last of our chicken strips, and Crystal managed to clear a bottle of Pinot Noir and got up to empty her bladder. Moments later, Josh had excused himself, saying he was going to check up on the guys in the kitchen. During this time, the waitstaff were giving drink after drink. I was nearly blitzed again before I realized that Crystal was still gone.
Crystal took a while to get back, I voiced a complaint, and Jinki, who was closest to the bathroom, offered to look for her. Upon agreeing, Jinki left the table and went to look for her. Our entrees arrived before either one of them got back. Josh was the first to return. Then Crystal with Jinki, she looked visibly upset. I was about to say something but Jinki stopped me.
“Now's not the time.”
“What's going on?” Fergie asked clueless to whatever happened with Crystal. I was really clueless.
“Oh, I just had a bit too much wine. Nothing to really worry about.”
“Oh, did you want some coffee or something?”
“Sure. Coffee sounds good.” Crystal said quickly as she sat down in front of her food. She was visibly uncomfortable sitting next Josh. My mind was beginning to connect the dots, something happened between Josh and Crystal...it obviously made her uncomfortable.
“Crystal, did you want to trade spots with me?”
“Yes,” Crystal said, grabbing her plate and purse and trading places with me.
The rest of the visit went off without a hitch, but you could cut the tension with a knife. Whatever Jinki had witnessed, was bothering him and Crystal was putting up appearances, but you could see right through her facade. Key was pretty much the only one making conversation at this point the rest of us were too busy eating in an effort to get out of there.
We had finished out entrees and Josh had his staff bring out a cake with candles and everything. Both of them wished me a happy birthday and I blew out the candles. Each of us had cake with coffee before heading out. Crystal settled for handshakes instead of hugs. I watched Josh around Crystal, she was uncomfortable around him and it made me uneasy.
Once saying our goodbyes, we headed back out to the car. I opened Crystal’s door, she decided on taking the backseat instead of driving. I got in the drivers’ side and Key took the passenger’s seat and Jinki, got in back next to Crystal.
“Crystal, are you okay?” Jinki asked.
“I’m fine.” Crystal said softly. “Thank you Jinki.”
“Guys, that was wonderful! We should do it again!”
“No thanks.” Crystal said, “You can go without me.”
“What!?!? Why?”
“Key, I don’t know if you know this, but Josh cornered Crystal in the bathroom.” Jinki said, dropping a bomb.
“What? No!” Key said in a disbelieving tone.
“Yes, I found them when I went searching for Crystal. I wish I had gone sooner. Crystal was crying, he actually tried to stick a hand inside her shirt, but she slapped it away and that was when I stepped in.” My hand was gripping the steering wheel with a death grip. I was literally seeing red. I had to do something, I knew he was still in there, masquerading. I was about to put an end to it. The next moments, were filled with rage. I wasn’t even sure if Jinki, Key or Crystal were chasing after me. The next thing I know I’m facing Josh.
“Oh hey Minho! I thought you guys were---“ My fist connected with his jaw with all the strength and speed I had. He flew back in his chair and the table flew forward breaking whatever glassware that was on it. I took my opportunity and pounced, landing a few more hard hitting blows. There were screams of shock before I was physically restrained by some of the staff, Jinki and Key.
“MINHO! WHAT THE HELL!” I heard Key scream over all the chaos. I struggled against my captors wanting to get another piece of the lowlife actor.
“What is the meaning of this!?!?!” Fergie demanded looking up at Minho while tending her battered husband up. “What did he ever do to you!?”
“Why don’t you ask him? He had Crystal held up against the bathroom wall harassing her…”
“That’s preposterous…”
“Oh, she’s your little girlfriend, huh? Sad cause I copped a feel for her tight little ass?”
“You cornered her?” Fergie asked, looking at her husband. “I told you to ask her not corner her.” Fergie then turned to us. “Guys, I’m sorry there’s been a misunderstanding. See, I sent my husband to ask your friend if she would’ve wanted to come back to our place. I really do like your little friend though.” Jinki shook his head in disbelief. Crystal looked down angry, her fists balled at her sides.
I began struggling against the three waiters, trying to get away from the people who were holding me. Key and Jinki let me go while the other staff didn’t.
“Let me go!”
“Want us to call the cops Mr. Duhamel?”
“No…no that’s all right. Let him go.” Josh said as he opened his mouth to exercise his jaw giving out a small laugh of amusement. “Get out of here before I change my mind and have you all arrested for assault and trespassing. You have one minute to leave my restaurant.”
“Come on Minho.” Crystal said, wrapping an arm around my waist but I brushed it off. I was still upset and angry. Key then turned around as we were walking out.
“Lose my number. Please. I don’t ever want to see you again.”
*Twenty Minutes Later*
“Aish! Fuck Hyung…” I whined in pain as Key put a make-shift ice pack on my now swollen hand.
“Quit whining, if you had controlled your anger, we wouldn’t be here, now would we?” Key retorted. I grabbed the icepack from Key, rolling my eyes at my hyung. He had a point, but fuck, did he have to voice his opinion right now? Key released my hand reluctantly.
We had dropped Crystal off and had been in my hotel room for a total of 15 minutes. Jinki was looking through his phone on the extra bed, acting as if nothing had happened.
“Would you have done the same thing hyung?” I asked, looking down at the icepack I loosely held against my throbbing hand. Key rolled his eyes, clicking his tongue against the back of his teeth. I already knew he wasn't going to answer the question.
“I would've. Your reaction was valid Minho.” Jinki commented, I saw his head lift up to look at me and I lifted my head to meet his eyes. “I wanted to do the same, he was a...scumbag.”
“Aish! I'm getting out of here. I had to cut off a good friendship tonight over your antics Minho.”
“Oh, sure make me the villain. Perhaps I should have let Crystal go with them so they could do only God knows what with her! Because you know, Josh cornering her in the bathroom trying to 'cop a feel' is totally acceptable behavior. I guess your friendship is more important than a woman getting raped.”
“He wasn’t going to rape her Minho…” Key said quickly putting on his jacket grabbing his scarf off the wall.
“Key, she was terrified. Josh has a good foot or so on her. How do you know he wasn’t thinking about it?” Jinki asked, looking up at his dongsaeng.
“I knew coming here was a shitty idea.” Key said before ripping the door open and walking out, slamming the door behind him. I let out a breath and looked at my swollen hand. I’d do it all over again though, I looked at Jinki.
"Don’t pay him any mind, Minho.” Jinki said, trying to reassure me. I nodded.
“I won’t. Are you hungry hyung?”
“Yeah, a little bit.”
“Good, there’s a new pizza place I wanted to try. I’ll get the number and order a pizza.” I said, digging my phone out to find the pizza place’s number.
