Cupid's Foray

It all began when Cupid misplaced an arrow. That stray arrow, that trouble making arrow… you would wonder the extent of mayhem it caused…

Kyu Joong was walking the down a path in the park when he saw something sparkling on the ground.

“Mwoya…” he said to himself, and bent down to study the glittering object.

It was an arrow, with a heart attached to it, no less.

‘Wow…’ he thought to himself. ‘Wouldn’t Sierra like this?’

Sierra’s a nuna in his high school, whom he had a crush on. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s going to fall in love with him… so in love with him.

Kyu Joong turned the arrow around in his hand, and on the long stem of the arrow, these words were inscribed…

Plant this onto a lover’s butt and you will surely win her heart.

‘Omigod!!! I so need this!’ Kyu Joong thought gleefully.

Sierra’s going to love him forever once he sticks this onto her butt.

Kyu Joong tucked the arrow firmly under his arm (in his armpits, if you want to know the exact details), then off he ran to meet the love of his life.

“Uh-oh…” Cupid murmured as he watched Kyu Joong leave the park. “I hope that’s not going to cause any trouble.”

As Kyu Joong ran all the way towards Sierra’s home, you may have guessed, tragedy struck. On his way to Sierra’s house, the very clumsy Kyu Joong ran smack into a neighbor. Her name’s Mandy, but most people called her Mandu. And I supposed Fate wanted to play a trick on Kyu Joong, and the arrow miraculously got planted onto Mandy’s butt.

“What the!” Mandy exclaimed. “That hurts!” she complained, and pulled the arrow out of her right butt cheek.

“I’m so sorry,” Kyu Joong said, and tried to help her up.

“Hmm?” Mandy mumbled, and as soon as she turned to face Kyu Joong, the spell was casted.

“Are you alright?” he asked her.

“Oppa!” she squealed, and hugged him.

“Erm… miss… I don’t know you,” he said as he tried to squirm out of her grasp.

“Oppa! I love you!” she squealed again, and this time, she tried to kiss him.

“Help!” Kyu Joong shouted.

He had the palm of one hand firmly covering Mandy’s face, trying to keep her lips away from his face, and the other hand trying to keep her body away from his.

“Help!” Kyu Joong screamed, but passersby only watched with interest and did not try to assist him.

“Hey… isn’t that Kyu Joong from school?” Xing tugged at her boyfriend, Hyun Joong’s sleeve.

“I think so,” Hyun Joong replied.

“Shall we help him? He seems traumatized,” Xing said.

“Nah… it’s probably some new couple game… role playing maybe,” he said.

“Are you sure?” Xing asked, just to be sure, since she really did think that Kyu Joong looked petrified.

“I am… now let’s go, or we’ll be late for the movie.”

Kyu Joong watched desperately as Xing and Hyun Joong left the street.

“Come on, oppa… just one little kiss,” Mandy said.

‘Why won’t anyone help me?’ he sobbed silently.

“Help…” he wailed one last time, and this time, his call was answered.

A faint gallop could be heard, and onto the street came Jung Min. No, he’s not a centaur. He just happened to be on a horse. Jung Min loved horses and shared their love for carrots. So it was not surprising that he was nicknamed Horse in school.

‘Hmm… isn’t that Kyu Joong from school, and that hot junior, Mandu?’ Jung Min thought.

“Neigh...” Jung Min called out to Kyu Joong, and covered his mouth quickly.

‘Oops…’ he thought. ‘Almost forgot that humans don’t speak the horses’ language.’

“Help me, Horse!” Kyu Joong flailed his free arm at Jung Min.

“I’m coming,” he replied as he dismounted off his horse.

“Hurry!” he gasped, as Mandy is nearing her target… his lips.

Just as if Fate had decided he’d had enough fun with Kyu Joong, he switched his attention to Jung Min. The moment Jung Min managed to tear Mandy off Kyu Joong, he found himself at the receiving end of her kiss. She was so sure that her pucker was near the mark, that she’d closed her eyes in anticipation. With a loud smacking sound… she’d planted her lips on Jung Min’s lips instead of Kyu Joong’s.

Mandy opened her eyes and right in front of her, stood Jung Min.

“Mandu…” his voice quivered. “You’re so gorgeous.”

“What?” Mandy exclaimed, the spell was broken since she’d not kissed the person who planted the arrow in her butt.

Jung Min had always had a crush on Mandy and that kiss had just strengthened his resolve to declare his undying affections for her.

“Come away with me, Princess Mandu… we’ll have carrots and ride all day long,” he said, proposing on one knee.

“Yuck! No! Get away from me, you horsey nut!” she yelled at him.

“Please…” he said, grasping onto her hand.

“No!” she said, pulling her hand out of his.

“Please…”

“No!”

“Please…”

“No! I’d rather ride with a carrot than with you!”

“Then I’ll be that carrot… please?”

“Noo!!!”

Kyu Joong picked up that arrow, and inched away from the fight scene as quietly as he could. He sprinted the few steps up to Sierra’s door, and rang the bell.

“Who is it?” Sierra answered from inside the house.

“It’s me, nuna,” Kyu Joong called out.

“Hi!” she said, as she opened the door. “What brings you here?”

“Erm… I…” he stammered.

‘I’ve got to find a way to get that arrow onto her butt…” he thought.

“Well?” she asked, tapping her feet impatiently.

“Is that a spider?” he said suddenly, pointing behind her

Sierra whirled around, screaming at the spider she could not see, and Kyu Joong seized the opportunity to plant the arrow on her tush.

“Oww!” she shouted at the sharp prick, but the moment she pulled the arrow out, she had already forgotten her pain.

“Nuna?”

“Ooh, Kyu Joong… you look so cute today,” she smiled and threw her arms around him.

“You’re so beautiful, nuna,” he replied, gently taking the arrow out of her hands.

“I am?” she giggled.

“Of course you are,” he smiled as he tossed the arrow away, and they share a long kiss, making the spell unbreakable.

Meanwhile… just a few feet away…

“Please, Mandu…”

“No!”

“I can be a carrot…”

“No!”

“Oww!” Jung Min exclaimed as the discarded arrow hit his head.

He picked it up and read the inscription.

Plant this onto a lover’s butt and you will surely win her heart.

He looked up again, and spotted Mandy walking away huffily.

‘It’s now or never,’ he thought as he aimed the arrow at Mandy’s butt.

He lunged forward, releasing the arrow, and sure enough, it hit the bull’s-eye.

“Oww!” Mandy exclaimed. “Not again?” she grumbled as she pulled it out.

“Mandu…” Jung Min sang, and the moment she turned around… she was lost to the horse.

“Neigh…” she replied, and batted her eyelashes.

“I’ve got some carrots for you,” Jung Min winked.

“Why Horsie dear… you know I love them carrots,” she replied, and cantered towards him.

-The End-
