Marking break...
It was marking break, and the students all had a week off for the teachers to do the marking. Needless to say, Jaejoong, Yunho, Junsu, Yining and Yiting too were on break. And Yining and Yiting, seeing their cousin Jaein slave so hard over the exam paper marking, bought a golden retriever puppy for her to cheer her up.
Jaein was ecstatic since she loved dogs, and golden retrievers were her favourite breed in the entire world. She fussed over the puppy whenever she had time on her hands, and she named it Snowball as it had very fluffy fur that was close to white snow...
One day Jaein had just finished marking an absolutely mind-boggling stack of Mathematics papers and she was looking for her new puppy Snowball, but it was nowhere to be found...
Jaein: Snowball... baby where are you? SNOOOOWBAAAAALL..... eodiseo???? Snowball agiya....
Jaein looked all around the house. It was not in any of its usual spots. She was getting a bit worried, as Yining and Yiting were out of the house, and there was no one around. Where could Snowball be?
She worriedly went out of the house to search for her beloved puppy.
She searched the garden.
Nothing.
The pool.
Nothing.
The sandbox.
Nothing.
She rushed to the front gate to check.
The front gate was open.
Jaein: SHIT!!! WHO LEFT THE FRONT GATE OPEN??!!!
Jaein dashed out of the front gate, frantically shouting and turning here and there, eyes searching desperately everywhere for a spot of white fur that could tell her where Snowball was...
Nothing.
She closed the gate and ran cluelessly around the roads, shouting worriedly for Snowball.
Jaein's thoughts: Please be alright... you're the only thing I have now... Don't let anything happen to you please... please.... let Snowball be safe...
The next thing she know, she heard a puppy's yelping in the nearby park. She ran towards it immediately, as fast as her legs could bring her.
She saw Snowball nearby one of the park benches...
IN BETWEEN VICK'S HUGE JAWS!!!!
Jaein (screaming in tears, as she ran towards the two dogs): NOOOOO!!!! VIIIIIIICK!!!!! LET SNOWBALL GO!!!! DON'T HURT HIM!!!!!
Jaein threw herself onto the ground before Vick, and placed her hands on Vick's jaw, trying to pry them off Snowball's body. A pair of strong hands grabbed her hands and pulled her away from Vick and Snowball. She struggled with all her might to get back to Vick, and to pry those jaws off Snowball...
Jaein (screaming hysterically with tears in her eyes): LET GO OF ME!!! I"VE TO SAVE SNOWBALL!!!! SNOWBALL!!!!!
With tears blurring her vision, and her body's strength diminishing with her growing despair that she won't be able to save her beloved puppy. She heard a voice cutting through her muddled mind...
Jaejoong (sternly): MS JUN!!!! GET A GRIP!!!! SNOWBALL'S FINE!!!! YOU'RE SCARING BOTH THE DOGS!!!
Jaein stopped struggling when she heard Jaejoong's voice and looked up. Jaejoong's face was right above her head, and the sun shone past his head, temporarily blinding her eyes. Jaejoong was the one holding her back from the dogs. She turned to him and grabbed his
hands...
Jaein (pleadingly with tears in her eyes): Please... save Snowball... don't let... Vick... hurt.... him...
Jaejoong was taken aback by her sudden move, and he was blank and speechless. He stared at her blankly.
Jaein: Please... if you don't do something... Snowball's... gonna... die...
Jaejoong: What are you talking about? Snowball's fine...
Jaein: But... Vick was... Vick was... biting... Snowball.... How can... he be... fine?
Jaejoong sighed and pulled his hands away from hers, and walked over to Vick. Vick put down Snowball from its mouth and barked a friendly bark towards Jaejoong, before licking his face enthusiatically. Once Snowball was on its feet, it barked at Jaejoong and Vick happily, wagged its tail, and jumped happily at them both, joining Vick in licking Jaejoong's face.
Jaein (jaws dropping down and eyes widening in disbelief): How...???? I saw Vick biting Snowball with my own eyes... And Snowball was yelping...
Jaejoong turned towards Jaein and sighed in disbelief.
Jaejoong: I was walking Vick and he saw Snowball hiding under the park bench, so he got him out and was bringing him to me when you saw us. Vick was just gripping on Snowball's skin with his teeth, he isn't biting Snowball... Look... dogs don't have hands, they use their teeth to carry things around... Don't you EVER watch Animal Planet of National Geographic???!!! Even lions do these to their cubs, and they are fine...
Jaein's mouth was formed into a big O-shape from realisation. She had been such an idiot in her haste and desperate state, that she had lost all sense of reason. She looked over at the two dogs licking Jaejoong's face happily. Snowball most definitely wouldn't have been in ANY danger, or he wouldn't be playing SO happily with the two of them...
Jaein got up from the ground and walked over to Vick. Vick barked at her softly, acknowledging her presence. She kneed down before Vick and patted its fur softly.
Jaein (apologetically): Mianeyo... Vick... I thought... Silly me... I made a mistake... You were just saving Snowball... Mianeyo... and kamsa hamnida... for helping me find him... kamsa hamnida...
Jaein hugged Vick as her tears of joy and gratitude overflowed from the restraints of her eyes. Vick barked in response to her apology and hug, and when Jaein let go of Vick, it licked her face enthusiatically and happily. Seeing Jaein play with Vick, Snowball throttled over to them both and hopped onto Jaein's lap, jumping, trying to lick her face too. Jaein grabbed Snowball into her arms and gave both Vick and Snowball a kiss each, before hugging both of them together.
Jaein (smiling): Vick, kamsa hamnida for saving Snowball.... and... Snowball, kamsa hamnida for being safe.... Mianeyo for scaring both of you just now... mianeyo...
Jaejoong's thoughts (smiling slightly at the sight of reunion): This silly yeoja... can't even go through a day without some sort of dramatic mishap... or outburst...
Something on Vick's and Snowball's fur coat caught Jaejoong's eye, and immediately his eyes went to Jaein's hands. Her fingers were covered with blood...
He dashed forward and grabbed her hands into his, giving both dogs and Jaein a shock. He examined her hands, and realised that her fingers were pierced by Vick's razor sharp teeth when she tried to pry open its mouth just now, and they were bleeding profusely. Her hands were also covered in soil and mud from the ground. He pulled her up from the ground.
Jaein (in shock): What....
Before Jaein could say anything, he already had her in his arms, and was running with her in his arms back in the direction of their houses. Jaein shouted out for Snowball and Vick who were both looking at Jaejoong running away with Jaein in his arms.
Jaejoong (shouting urgently back at Vick): VICK, GET SNOWBALL AND FOLLOW ME BACK TO THE HOUSE!!!
Vick grabbed Snowball easily in his mouth and ran towards Jaejoong, catching up with him easily with its big and long legs.
Jaejoong ran back to his house, and immediately when he entered the gate, he shouted for his housekeeper to get the first aid kit, before placing Jaein down on the sofa gently. The housekeeper brought the first aid kit, and rushed off to get some hot water and towels to clean Jaein's wounds. Meanwhile, Jaejoong kneeled down in front of Jaein and was inspecting her hands. When the water arrived, he cleaned her hands gently, dabbing oh-so-lightly on her wounds. When her hands were clear of any soil or mud, the housekeeper went to change the water, and towel.
With the fresh hot water, Jaejoong poured in some disinfectant liquid, and cleaned her wounds again, before repeating the cleaning process with more disinfectant liquid. When he was satisfied that her wounds were clean, he started applying medication gently on her wounds, blowing on the wounds whenever the stinging medication was applied on the wound, and Jaein grasped in response to the stinging pain.
Vick and Snowball were sitting patiently looking at Jaein as Jaejoong worked on her wounds. Jaein didn't know what to do, so she found herself observing Jaejoong as he toiled over her wounds so attentively that he didn't even know that she was looking at him.
Jaein's thoughts: He looked so serious as he is tending to my wounds. And he is so gentle and attentive.... I can't believe that it's the same bratty kingka who bullies me in school....
Jaein was lost in her own thoughts staring at Jaejoong. Suddenly when he looked up, when he finished bandaging the wounds that Jaein was taken aback when he looked straight up at her. She looked away embarassedly.
Jaejoong: Are you done marking the papers already?
Jaein: Erm... no...
Jaejoong: Your fingers are all hurt... I don't think you can hold a pen or much less write for at least a few days...
Jaein: Well... I'll just have to do it... I have no choice... The papers are due by the end...
Jaejoong got up at that point in time, interupting Jaein, and walked off. Jaein took it as a cue for her to leave.
Jaein's thoughts: He can't be bothered with my affairs anyway... I am just a nuisance to him... Why am I even telling him at all???
Jaein got up too.
Jaein: Well... kamsa hamnida for helping... I'll take my leave first... miane for bothering you...
Jaein called for Snowball, and it followed her as she walked out of the house. Jaejoong turned and watched as they left, his mind deep in thought...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same evening...
Jaein struggled to hold her red pen as she tried to mark more papers. She couldn't ask her cousins for help as they were students, she couldn't risk letting them mark the papers, as it would get her in trouble. Furthermore, even if she agreed to take the risk, they weren't around for her to ask them for help. They had gone on a short vacation with Yunho and Junsu for the week's break.
She struggled to hold the pen with both her palms, as her palms were the only place that wasn't hurt. She managed to mark a few papers into the wee hours of the night. She fell asleep on her desk...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaejoong was unable to sleep. He woke up and walked out to his balcony, he noticed Jaein's bedroom light still on.
Jaejoong's thoughts: She must be working through the night to mark more papers... Cos her injury is going to slow her down A LOT... And her cousins are out... no one can help her...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next morning...
Jaein woke up to the sound of Snowball's barking. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands sleepily. She took a look at the time, it was already 10am!!!
She stumbled to organise the mess on her desk. But there was none. The stacks of unmarked exam papers were all neatly piled a few metres away from her in the marked pile.
Jaein: Hhhhmmm.... did I manage to finish marking ALL of them???
She pondered, raking her brains. But Snowball's barking interuptted her again.
Jaein: Ah... nevermind... maybe I was too tired to remember that I did finish marking all of them... Or my fairy godmother is helping me....
