I bet your arm tastes lovely! // Shim Changmin & Cho Kyuhyun
On this hot summer afternoon, Changmin found himself in one of the greenhouses. Those greenhouses were even hotter – boiling hot, they were – than it already was outside. And to make things even worse, professor Cho had told them to wear their dragon hide gloves and robes. As if it wasn’t warm enough already! Changmin usually wasn’t the whining type, but today he could help thinking about the things he couldn’t do due to this class instead of the things he could.
Today they were working with self-fertilising shrubs. As the name of these weird plants suggests, they fertilise themselves, so the students didn’t have to feed the plants for once. Thank god, because these were flesh eating plants! The fifth years had to re-pot them, but even though these plants were hunters, they were very fragile as well. The professor had told them to be very careful, because once the stem was broken, the plant was useless.
Changmin, however, had mastered the re-potting of these things pretty quickly and ran out of plants when there were still 15 minutes left of this class. So, deciding to spend his time useful, he turned to his neighbour and started a conversation with him.
He was laughing rather loudly when Changmin felt something around his wrist. Turning to see what was holding on to him, the smile on his lips soon died and turned into a look of terror. One of the self-fertilising shrubs was biting his glove, probably trying to get to the delicious flesh protected by it.
Changmin’s eyes grew wide, both with shock and panic. He had completely forgotten about those plants and their habits...
“Eh... Professor?” he finally spoke.
