As Teagan pulled Priscilla out of the club, a crowd began to form, watching the hassel unfold infront of them. "I can't believe I looked all over, worried SICK that you might be in danger, only to
find that you've been here dancing for these pigs?!", Teagan screamed as she raised her hand and swiftly accross her younger sisters face. The crowd overgrew with sounds of shock. "Oh my..did
she just hit her?", "Bro, that's messed up."
Teagan stopped in shock at what she'd just done. She watched as her sister was met with the hard cement floor infront of a crowd. "WHY DID YOU HIT HER?!", Changkyun surprisingly shouted
from the crowd as he pushed his way towards the younger on the ground. He held her as she hid her face in his chest, embarressed to face the growing crowd. Jooheon stood by as he watched his
younger brother's eyes turn from a shade of brown to a shade of black. "Changkyun, stand down.. it's an order.", Jooheon communicated through telepathy. Changkyun's veins began popping out
of his neck as he shot a death glare. "But she hurt her, not only physically, but I can feel her emotional scars. SHE WENT TO FAR.", he growled as he slowly got up, taking a step closer to Teagan.
Teagan could only freeze in shock, for she could hear the excahgne of words.
"Whoa..easy there.", Hyungwon said, stepping in between Changkyun and Teagan. He put his hand on the younger brothers chest before slowly plastering a smile on his face. "Changkyun.. you
don't know this girl you're protecting, let alone the relationship between these two. Don't jump into the action without knowing the story okay.", he said as the clouds slowly disappeared from
Changkyun's eyes. He sighed before nodding and placing his jacket ontop of Priscilla whom was still hiding from the crowd. "Let me take you home.", he whispered as he picked her up and
escorted her away.
"Alright guys, nothing to see here.", Hyungwon said as he motioned for everyone to leave. He earned himself a couple of glares from the crowd as they slowly made their way. "Come on move it!
You heard the man, keep it pushing you nosey asses dayuuum!", Ari shouted as she started shooting death glares at the left over handfull of people. Soon the place was left with the four standing
in awe at the situation. "Wow Tea, I gotta say that WAS kinda messed up of you to hit her infront of everyone, I mean shit I'd be embarrassed as hell, you should've waited AT LEAST until you
were alone and not with a crowd. People know her here, as sad as it is to say, this was her place of work.", Ari rambled, emposing more guilt. "OK yeah thanks Ari, I didn't need you to do a whole
summary on everything that just happened.", Tea barked back. Ari nervously laughed and backed away. "Sorry, I'll just go get the car.", she said as she shot a 'yikes' type of look Hyungwon's way
as he recipricated the look. "I'll go with you~", he managed to whisper as he tip toed her direction.
"Stop right there if you don't want me to kill you here and now. Get your ass over here Hyungwon you have some fcking explaining to do.", Tea snapped without even turning to look his direction.
Ari and Hyungwon just made a "uh0h" look at eachother as Ari mouthed her farewell to Hyungwon. He stopped, and twirled his way to Teagan as she stood there beaming smoke like a pot of hot
water. "What can I do for you bestie?", Hyungwon said with a cheeky smile on his face as he held Teagans hands, knowing they would swing up at him if he did not hold them in place. "How could
you not tell me and Ari that you're...", she looked around before whispering "Ruler of Earth", she said as she felt a shiver run down her spine. He made a disgusted face before shaking his head and
nodding his finger in her face. "No no no. I prefer to go by King of the Human lands.", He said as he did a sassy hair flip. "Oh okay that makes sense.", Teagan said with a smile as she giggled and
nodded in agreement. "Yeah cause this face is of a King you know.", he said proudly.
She stomped on his foot before tugging her arms out of his embrace. "This isn't the fucking time to joke Won. We've been friends for years, I'm so hurt if anything. I've trusted you with everything,
all of my secrets. I can't believe you didn't tell me. Did you think me and Ari would hate you or something? Burn you like- wait.. is this because I said I agreed with the Salem witch trials in Jr. High
and that I'd burn anyone I thought was a witch?! Cause I only said that because I wanted witch powers, not because I hated witches.", she said as she began rambling on about different scenarios.
Hyungwon sighed and put his hand on her shoulders. "Tea.. I didn't tell you OR Ari becasue I'd have to kill you if I told you.. But NOW I can talk to you about it because my brother right here-", he
said pointing at Jooheon who still hasn't left. "Shares a connection with you. I'm sure he's already explained to you that now that he's saved your life once, he can save your life for a lifetime, and
maybe more. The reason you're getting this connection from the mind telepathy is because Jooheon is connected to us by blood, which some of his blood has not transferred into your body. He
actually needs to hear you when you're in danger now. Where ever you may be. If you die.. Jooheon dies.", He said, gulping the last part. Teagan stood there in silence as she shared eye contact
with Jooheon. "You didn't tell me that part....", she whispered as Jooheon finally looked away.
"I didn't WANT to tell you that, but now you know..", he said as he began walking towards Wonho's car. "But not to worry Teagan. You're in good hands.:", he said as he clicked the car to unlock. He
turned around with his dimples sunk deep into his cheeks. A handsome devil he surely is... "As long as you're in my care, you're not getting hurt on my watch."
In this day and age the most common belief about the after life is simple. You're either lifted into Heaven with all the beautiful people who've lived an honest life, helped walk an elderly person across the street, picked trash off the ground, paid their bills on time, loved one person and stayed loyal until the end, and all that good stuff, But we'll get into that later.
Hell....Now Hell is different from what the world now knows. There isn't someone called "Satan" ruling the underworld, in fact the ruler of the underworld happens to be a tall handsome devil with dimples that were so deep they were sinful in its own right. One wrong move in front of the man..one tiny bit of annoyance from you would lead him to torture you little by little to his amusement. He had no sympathy for the damned, now that they were in his control, he would do whatever he pleased. Number one being the sight of pain from others. Number two being the screams for mercy. And last but not least when they'd be lying around in the utmost pain, not being able to die again.
He frowned at the man who had just arrived, slowly getting off the floor and looking around as if he were lost. The evil man slowly walked over to his prey with a slight bored expression, as his figure let off steam. "Get up..", the devil said with a hint of annoyance in his tone. The man looked at him confused and ignored the words of the scary man in front of him. "I SAID GET UP!", The devil said as he suddenly summoned a handful of smoking hot ashes into his hands, smacking it into the poor mans eyes. "AHHHHH!!!~", he screeched at the pain, slowly bending over to the ground. "Fuck you Satan!", he shouted as he slowly felt his skin melting off. The devil slowly walked up to the man and bent down, grabbing the man by his hair to whisper in his ear. "My fucking name is Jooheon. Don't ever call me that again you hear me?", he said as he kicked the man out of his way.
"Changkyun!", he shouted with a small smile. The younger handsome devil made his way towards Jooheon in an instant. "Yup?", Jooheon flashed a smile at his younger brother, patting his head as he slowly walked back to his throne that sat in the middle of the burning underworld. He stepped into the fire, not feeling a thing, as ruler of the underground, there was not problem when it came to pain. Jooheon could not feel a thing, which made others reaction to pain amusing for him.
"Kyun, do what you must. He's all yours. I'll even let you skin him if you want, just have one of the bitches bring me a nice cool drink. I'm tired.", he said as he sat down, leaning his head onto his hand as his arm rested on the arm rest of his seat. He sat in anger as his amusement was slowly not up to par with what he used to feel. Watching as his baby brother dragged the man away, he saw him stop as another victim of hell walked over with a glass of cold Banana milk. His favorite.
Changkyun took the drink from the girl and motioned for her to take the body from him as he made his way back to Jooheon. "Bro, I heard Wonho will be back from his small meeting up in the human lands. If you ask me, he's just wasting time up there.. He should make his way back and help Kihyun in the river. He's been tired lately by all the bodies he has to dump before you. I wonder what our other brothers are doing up in heaven. I heard that Shownu actually likes sitting up there with all the happy people that's made it up there. It sounds boring to me. I don't think I could live such a scripted life doing the "right" thing.", he said doing air quotes as he sat in a seat next to Jooheon.
Jooheon shifted in his seat as he thought about the life of all of his brothers. Seven, some separated into Heaven, some in Hell, some pretending to live in the real world. He sighed as he saw his second oldest brother Wonho making his way back on the boat with their brother Kihyun, giggling as he told Kihyun about life in the human world. "Then I grabbed my bag and left without saying anything. I don't think I'll be taking that class again. It's too hard, I failed again.", he said in a joking tone. "It sounds more fun up there than down here..", Kihyun said as they stepped down and onto the path leading to their younger brothers. "Joohoney!!", Wonho shouted with his arms out. Jooheon rolled his eyes and walked over to Wonho with a pouty face. "What's wrong Heon?", Wonho asked as soon as they touched. Wonho may be apart of the human world, but he's still built with a great force of his own. The power to know what one is feeling just by skin ship.
Jooheon sighed and made his way back to his throne as the others took a seat. "I'm just not interested in being down here anymore..It bores me..", he said while staring into the dark distance. They all chuckled at the sight of the underworlds ruler being pouty. "Hey... it's not so bad down here bro. I find it fun.", Kyun said with a smile. Jooheon turned to him and smiled back. 'This kid.. he should be part of heaven with the other brothers..', Jooheon thought to himself, feeling regret as he remembered begging his parents to let him take Kyun to hell with him.
"Hey, I got an idea if you're up for it.", Wonho said as he stood up and paced around. "What if you all came up to the Human world with me?", he said with his gummy smile. The other three looked at each-other before bursting into a fit of laughter. Wonho's smile slowly faded as he rolled his eyes. "I'm serious. Kihyun, you always say how tired you are of doing this, and find my stories amusing whenever i come back. Don't you all want to actually do things for yourself for once?! Make decisions and feel what it's like to be happy, sad, angry?!", he said throwing his hands in the air. They all sat in silence and looked at Jooheon for approval. Jooheon stood up and slowly nodded, with his hands in his pockets. "Ok, deal.", he said as the other two gasped in shock. "Wait. Jooheon, if you leave what happens down here?! Who will rule down here?!", Kyun said as he shot up in desperation, holding onto Jooheons Shoulder.
Wonho smiled with delight as he grabbed Jooheon and Kyun's hand. "We just have to keep coming back before we get caught okay. Deal?", he said as Kihyun smiled and put his hand in the pile. "I'm in too. Let's get the hell out of here. No pun intended.", he said earning him a few dirty looks at his horrible joke. "Should we ask our brothers up above if they'd be interested in joining us?", Wonho said with a smile. They all nodded in agreement. The theory of Heaven and Hell being at war was merely a myth. The seven brothers were simply put to the task by their parents. They just did their jobs in the designated areas. No bad feelings between the souls whatsoever.
The four closed their eyes and whispered a small prayer, lifting them slowly into a shifted universe. More brighter and beautiful than the one they normally stayed in. They opened their eyes to Shownu who was sitting among the clouds in a pure white tunic worn by the gods. The tunic wrapped perfectly around his sculpted tan chiseled body. He blinked and rubbed his eyes in shock. His brothers rarely liked to visit, for they dearly hated bright things. All but Wonho who was fond of all things. Shownu stood from his throne and flashed his signature bright smile. "Brothers!", he shouted as he ran down the steps and wrapped his strong arms around his younger brothers. Shownu being the oldest always adored the time he could spend with them.
They all smiled and hugged back. "Hey where's the other two?", Wonho asked looking around. Shownu backed away and took a seat on the steps. "Well, you know Hyungwon rules the Human world. I heard things have been getting crazier down the so he hasn't been visiting as often as I'd like. Same with Minhyuk. He's been down there helping.", Shownu said pouting as he cleared the clouds below to see Hyungwon sleeping below in the Human world. They all rolled their eyes in unison and sighed. "Well at least i thought he said it was getting wild down there but every time i look, he's sleeping.", Shownu said in a monotone
"What's Minhyuk doing?", Jooheon asked as Shownu waved his hand within the clouds to find Minhyuk. He stopped and shook his head as the clouds slowly showed Minhyuk, flirting with a shy nurse at a hospital.
"No Minhyuk, I have to work!", she squealed as she blushed and playfully hit Minhyuks chest. He smirked and leaned in closer, trying to kiss the nurse. "It's okay it's just a kiss and i'll let you go back to work.", he whispered with his forehead resting on hers. As he leaned closer, the emergency lights went off.
"Whoa what's happening?", Changkyun said kneeling down to get a better look. They all watched anxiously as a body of a young female was pushed into the emergency room past Minhyuk. "Hey! get to work! What do you think you're doing?! MOVE!!", the doctor yelled at the nurse Hyuk was flirting with. Flustered, she picked up her badge and ran towards the doors, following the doctor. Minhyuk rolled his eyes and held his hand up toward the wall, closing his eyes he slowly shifted into the operating room, freezing time as he walked over to the body and studied her face. "Hmm...she's pretty.", Minhyuk said as he tucked a piece of her hair out of her face. "Minhyuk.. get up here.", Shownu said startling Minhyuk. He looked up and rolled his eyes. "Shownu, you shouldn't do that. Just because you can speak through mind waves doesn't make it right to give me an unexpected heart attack all the time.", he said giving one last look at the girl on the table.
Before Minhyuk could close his eyes to shift back into the clouds Jooheon stood up quickly, grabbing onto Shownus hand. "Hey.. wait.", he said leaning closer towards the clouds to get a better look at the girl down on earth on the operating table. She looked so peaceful but at the same time so...almost dead. Her hair a dark brown shade, tiny girl with fare skin, cheeks almost as red as a rose, which was slowly fading as time went on. "Send me down there.", he said softly, not knowing why he was so drawn to the girl below. Minhyuk scrunched his face, "What? why?!", he said in a disgusted tone. "Shut up and just do it.", Heon said as his eyes slowly turned a deep shade of black. His eyes gently shut close as he felt the worlds shift. He opened his eyes to an operating room, to which he unfroze time, switching places with Minhyuk.
"You can't be in here! GET OUT!", the doctor shouted as he pushed the nurses to get him out. "Don't touch me.", Heon softly replied as his head turned in a horrifying motion. Eyes still darker than night itself, he had no face expression at all, making things ten times more horrifying. The nurses rushed out the operating room, screaming at the horror they've just witnessed. The doctor fell on the floor, backing away slowly before running for the door. With one flick of the wrist, he slammed all exits closed, locking it so no one would be able to enter. He turned back to the girl on the table, seeing her life line on the monitor slowly becoming flat. The color in her cheeks were losing its rosy red shade as time passed.
He slowly caressed the side of her face before putting his hand on top of her head, closing his eyes as he searched through her memories. His eyes flew open when he saw small flashes of her life. "Heal her..", he whispered as the lights began to flicker in the whole building. The ground began to shake as well as everything around them. Screams were heard throughout the building as he watched the red in her cheeks reappear slowly but surely. He bit his lip at the sudden pain he was feeling in his body. "What is this?!", he shouted out for his brothers to hear. "I've never felt this before.", he said as he slowly moved his hand away from her.
"Oh my god, did he just feel something?! Jooheon shouldn't be able to feel a thing, what's going on?!", Changkyun panicked looking towards his older brothers. They all sat there in shock as they continued to watch. Jooheon sat on the chair beside the girl as he stared at his hand. "J-Jooheon?", she whispered as her eyes slowly opened. The brothers above froze as well as Jooheon, not sure of how she knew his name. She opened her eyes and turned her head to meet eyes with Jooheon. He stared at her half shocked, half scared. "H-how do you know my name?!", he shouted as he backed away.
Hyungwon bust down the entrance to the emergency room, still rubbing his eyes as he yawned. "You've healed her but you also sent signals of your own memories into her mind while you were being a pervert, searching through her thoughts.", he said as he sat at the foot of the operating table. She sat up and smiled at Hyungwon. "Wonnie.. what's going on?", she said holding her head. "I think you passed out. You didn't take your medicine you dumb girl. Stop being stubborn Tea!", he scolded her before he pat her back. Jooheon shot a look in Hyungwon's direction, speaking through his mind. 'Hyungwon, you know her?!', he said through telepathy. Hyungwon smirked and nodded. "We're friends", she said out loud. They all turned to her in an instant as their jaws dropped. "Did you just-" Hyungwon said before getting cut off.
"Yeah i don't know how i did that but i heard your thoughts.”, She said as she stretched and swung her tiny legs off the side of the table like nothing happened. She fixed her long pretty locks, as she reached over the table to grab her bag, pulling out her mirror and lipstick, making kiss faces as she applied the lipstick. "Well, I'm going to be late for dinner with my boss. Goodbye! Wonnie, I'll see you later! Bye!", she said as she ran out the doors, not minding the horrible sight of the hospital after what everyone suspected to be an earthquake. Hyungwon shrugged and walked towards the exit before being stopped by Jooheon.
"Explain what's going on..", he said as Hyungwon smiled and ruffled his hair. "Her name is Teagan, but she goes by Tea. We're neighbors but best friends as well. Don't you dare touch her though you ugly! She's too good for you! But...thanks for saving her. I didn't know you could heal though.", he said in shock. Jooheon looked back at his hands. "Me neither. I don't know what happened. I don't know why or how i saved her.", he said confused.
"JOOHEON GET BACK DOWN TO THE UNDERWORLD! FATHER'S ON HIS WAY!", Shownu yelled as he watched his father through the clouds. Hyungwon and Jooheon stopped in shock and quickly joined hands before whispering their prayer, shifting through universes to get back below.
First chapter, I’m excited to write this cause it’s different lol I didnt proof read cause im tired lmao sorry - Admin Shownudesxx
"Wake Up", I heard a whisper from a familiar voice. I shot up in a cold swear quickly grabbing a handful of whatever I could. "OUCH LET GOO!!!!", Ari shouted as Hyungwon sat beside me. I slowly let go as I began to calm down. "Take a deep breath, it was just a bad dream.", Hyungwon softly said as he watched Ari holding tightly onto her hair. "God Tea!!! My headache on top of this is making me crazy!", she shouted as she laid next to me. I softly smiled, realizing it was all a dream, and that I was safe in my room.
"Hyungwon what happened?~", I mumbled as I rolled in bed. He rolled his eyes and shook his head as he folded his arms. "You still didn't listen to me after you've been in the hospital. I told you to take your medicine didn't I?! You ended up fainting after shaking hands with Jooheon.", he said rubbing his temple. "It wasn't pretty, you looked almost as ugly as Ari when Shownu was carrying her last night", he said as he laid back onto my bed. "Oooh, who's this Jooheon?", Ari said with a devious smile. I reached my arm, threatening to pull her hair again as a warning. She flinched and flashed a smile at Hyungwon. "Don't smile at me like that, you know you were embarrassing to watch yesterday when Shownu carried you into your room. He saw your panties.", Hyungwon said looking out the window. "WHO AND WHAT?!", she shouted as she sat up. I chuckled remembering how she acted the night before. "Yeah his older brother. He's totally your style but you ruined it on the first meeting. This is your karma, how many times have I told you to ease up on the drinking?! You know he carried you from the bottom floor and you were like 'you have nice arms Mr.' and then you bit his arm and drooled on his shoulder. It's over for you even before it started.", you said as you sat up and stretched. She sat there frozen in despair.
I flashed a smile at Hyungwon and climbed off the bed, as the other two followed. "Oh by the way, Crystal should be coming home from her parents today. She said she only needed to watch her nephew yesterday and she'd be back, but she's bringing in a new roommate to occupy one of the open rooms down the hall.", I said as I grabbed my towel and toothbrush. "So please clean that room before we head out, I don't want our new roommate to know we're messy people until she's lived with us for at least a month.", I said before shutting the door.
"I'm going to go back, I don't know what my brothers are doing since they're new around here. I don't want them to be in my room.", Hyungwon said as he smiled at Ari. "Go shower, you still look like hell. I'll see you two in an hour before work.", he said making his way out of the apartment.
We arrived at our workplace, sighing as we all got out of the cab. "Hyungwon, you have a photo shoot today. I hope you remembered, and no falling asleep today!", I said as I shot him a glare. He smirked sarcastically giving me two thumbs up. I laughed and flicked his forehead. "Just be good okay, I can't have you messing up my work anymore.", I said as we walked in the building, me and Ari scanning our badges as Hyungwon walked in with his sunglasses, cocky as always. Of course he's a well sought out kind of guy, as he was the top model of the company, but does he really have to act like this EVERY SINGLE TIME we walk in?
"Hello Mr.Chae.", The employees said as the bowed as he walked in. We followed closely from behind, entering the office. "Well this is where we part.", Ari said still wearing her sunglasses from the bright lights. "How are you going to dance all day with that hangover of yours?", I said with a giggle. "Fake it till you make it right?", she said as she took a gulp of my coffee, handed it back and made a dramatic exit, flipping her hair in the wind and slouching out the door. "You think she's going to be alright?", Hyungwon said as we watched her stumble down the hall to the dance room. "Doesn't matter. She does this a lot and she's still not fired.", I said as we both laughed. "Anyways..", I said twirling around and rubbing my hands together as I looked through his rack of clothes to choose from. "What do you feel like wearing for this photo shoot? Go ahead and pick out something and I'll let you know if it's a no or a yes.", I said watching him from behind. "No." I said as he picked out skin tight leather pink pants with a green top. "Are you advertising watermelons or Nivea chap-stick?", I said shaking my head in disapproval. "Ew god no...", I said as his hand reached for a fluffy yellow sweater, ten times his size. "How did that even get in here, no." I said smacking his hand. "Hmm... we'll go with-", before I could finish my sentence, the door opened. I looked over to find the Vice-President of the company taking a seat, casually watching as I searched for Hyungwon's outfit.
"Oh! Hey what's up man!", Hyungwon said as he went and gave him a bro hug. "What's up Hyungwon..Teagan..", he said with an eye smile. "Oh, hello Michael.", I said as I slowly bowed. He chuckled and made his way to me, ruffling my hair a bit. "Tea, I told you not to call me Michael anymore. We're friends right?", he said with that god damned beautiful smile. I felt my cheeks burn red. "Oh yeah, sorry Barom. I just.. you know.", I said avoiding eye contact, while staring at the floor, fixing my hair. He chuckled and put a hand on my shoulder. "I hope you can open up to me soon.", he said, bending down to make eye contact with me. I blushed harder and turned towards the clothes to hide my smile. "Yeah sure, but I really need to get to work.", I said picking out clothes for model boy. "Here go put these on. I need to go find Crystal.", I said bowing before awkwardly making my way out the door.
"Hey Crystal, you're back!", I said with a smile. She waved me over toward the studio where she was cleaning and putting everything into a certain place. "Not again.. Crystal you're such a neat freak, you don't have to clean everything. Leave it for these lazy artists to do! I hate seeing you work yourself when it's not your job. You're a producer.", I said as I grabbed her hands. "And I hate seeing a mess, it makes me feel a little sick seeing everything.. unclean.", she said moving her hand and putting the last pencil into the drawer. "Besides.. I'm still waiting for Wonho, he told me he needed help setting up the studio for a new guy he wants to bring in. I think he said it's his brother.. Kihyun? Have you met him?", "Oh yeah I just met him yesterday, apparently while you were away, Hyungwon moved 4 more brothers in.", I said with a sigh, taking a seat in the chair next to her. "I haven't really talked to them much but they all looked like nice people..except for one brother, he kept giving me strange vibes and I don’t know why.", I said as I squinted my eyes. I've never clearly seen someone's face in my mind, but his is pure as day in my mind. I felt a shiver run up my spine just thinking about him gives me some weird feeling in my gut.
"Hey sorry I was late. I tried dressing this guy up cause he's a little too into..black.", he said looking a little lost for words. "Wonho, you're late. Next time you're late you're gonna get your ass kicked and you're lucky you didn't get caught by Micha-, I mean..Barom...", I said with a slight blush, holding my face in my hands. "You're so predictable Teagan, you know you two would look good together.", Crystal said with a small laugh. I nodded slowly turning back to Wonho and Kihyun. "But she can't like him, Jooh-", Kihyun began to say before Wonho smacked his hand to Kihyuns mouth. "Shh.. Shhh, just shut it.", he said with a serious glare at the younger one. "Anyways..", he said rubbing his hands on his pants. "Sorry I'm late Crystal. This is the last time I'll do this to you! I brought my brother like I promised. He has talent, I'm not even lying.", he said smiling his gummy smile that makes the average girl melt. I used to have a small crush on him, I even used to think he was a fuck boy, but he's the total opposite. Sensitive and caring..a very good catch but I know him too well now, after being best friends with his brother. He's kind of just the cute friend/co-worker/neighbor.
I turned to look at Crystal. "Hey, close your mouth, you might drool if you keep staring at him.", I said as me and Wonho laughed at her face expression. She's totally into Kihyun. "Hey, are you single?", I said to Kihyun as he snapped his gaze away from Crystal. Was he checking her out too? "Oh, yeah....", he said as I saw his cheeks become red. He totally likes what he see's. "Ohh, that's good. This girl right here-", I said grabbing Crystals arm, "is single and ready to mingle.. and your neighbor. She lives with me across the hall.", I said with a friendly smile. I think Kihyun is a kind person, he was nothing but soft smiles when I met him yesterday. He'll most likely get along with Crystal quickly. "Well, I'll leave you three to start recording. I'll go see if Hyungwon is dressed, his make up and hair is done, all that crap.", I said as I waved and headed back to my office.
I opened the door and set my bag down as I searched the kitchen for something to eat. I came home earlier than the others. It seems they had more work piled up for them, and when they told me that I don't have to stay any longer, I ran out of there before they change their mind. I'm smart enough to know that much.
I laid on the couch lazily with a cup of ice cream in my hand. 'What to do in this huge empty place?.'.. I sat there contemplating whether or not I should shower first or just relax and watch TV before everyone comes home. "Tea, you need to shower.", I said out loud before taking my shirt off freely in the living room area. Something I like doing when I'm home alone. I threw my bra to the floor and walked back to the kitchen to grab a glass of water before walking to the bathroom.
*knock knock* I slammed the fridge shut and stood there in silence, waiting for another sound to make sure I wasn't just hearing things. *knock knock knock* I ran towards the front and quickly threw my shirt on before looking through the peep hole. "Jooheon?", I whispered to myself. "Yeah it's me.", he said with that smile I've only imagined. "Whoa..", I whispered still looking through the peep-hole. His dimples are a sin. "Umm, can you open the door? I need to talk to you.", he said with a chuckle. I shivered at his deep voice. It's simply eating me alive. "Oh umm, yes sorry!", I said as I unlocked the door and swung it open. His smile suddenly faded as he glanced at me. He turned his head away quickly and began to cough out of embarrassment. His cute cheeks were now red, as well as mine. "So... I think before I talk you should..cover up.", he said as he looked everywhere but at me. "What do you mea-", I said before realizing I wasn't wearing my bra, and my shirt was a bit see-through. "OH MY GOD!!", I said as I covered my chest with my arms and ran into my room to grab a coat. I mentally kicked my own ass before walking back out.
I stuck my head out the door, peeking at the tall man that was now sitting on my couch. "What..the..fuck..", I whispered as I saw him helping himself to a glass of water. Each gulp seemed like slow motion in my eyes as it slowly made his adams-apple go up and down like a movie. "Umm.. you said we needed to talk?", I quietly said as I sat on the couch furthest from him. I can't even make eye contact, I might just throw up if he comes any closer. "Well, I think there's something happening-", he said stepping closer to me. Of course he would come closer.
He sat next to me fiddling with his fingers. "between us.", I said, finishing his sentence. "ha, yeah.. I've been..thinking about you a lot lately and I can't help it.", he said squeezing his hand tightly. My heart sort of fluttered at the sudden confession, until I realized he's been in my mind a lot lately too. "Actually..I've been randomly thinking about you too. What does it all mean?", I asked turning to face him. He looked up, making our eyes meet, and in an instant I felt my heart beating out of my chest. He stood up and grabbed my arm. "Come on, I think my brother Changkyun might be able to help us figure things out.", he said as we headed toward the door. "But how could he help something that's going through OUR heads?", I asked confused. He nodded slowly and turned back to grab me by the shoulders. "Look, Hyungwon must have not told you about us, but we're a little..different.", he said. "I'll have to explain everything to you when we get across the hall.", he said as we closed the door and headed across the hall.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"So..", I said feeling my legs grow weak as I took a seat on the chair. "You're telling me that some of you are from hell and some of you are from heaven.. and HYUNGWON...MY BEST FRIEND...is the ruler of the 'human lands'?", I said making air quotes. Jooheon and Changkyun slowly nodded and I felt the need to believe them. I don't know why, but on a regular day I would laugh at the ridiculous scenario going on. How else does it explain me waking up in the hospital with no doctors around except for Jooheon and Hyungwon.
"So.. why did you save me if you didn't know me?", I said standing up and pacing around. I can't believe I'm even in the presence of two guys in charge of Hell. "Well, that I don't know either.", He said with a small smile as he scratched the back of his head. I shivered at the sight of the two boys staring at me with caring eyes. It felt safe but it also felt dangerous now that I know all of these brothers including my close friend Hyungwon has some type of power, and not to mention the can shift to another area. What is going on?! "I have to tell Ari...she needs to know, I can't believe Hyungwon hasn't told us! We've been his best friends since we were young. I can't believe him!", I said punching the wall. "Owww~", I said holding my fist.
Jooheon came up and grabbed my hand, squeezing it to make the pain slowly fade. I looked at my hand that was now healed. "How did you-", I said turning it different angles. "Ahh yes, once one of us heals someone of the human world, we're able to heal that one person for the rest of that one persons life.", Changkyun said making his way towards us. "So I guess, basically you can try to kill yourself as much as you want but Jooheon will always be here to heal you.", he said with a smile. What a cute kid. "But what happens if I-", *ding* I looked down at my phone to see a text from both Hyungwon and Ari.
EMERGENCY!! CALL ME ASAP - Hyungwon
CALL ME NOW - Ari
I sighed and dialed his number "What?!", I snapped as soon as I heard him answer.
"Tea...I think me and Ari found Priscila..", he softly said. I stood in my tracks, shocked.
"You..you found my sister..", I whispered as I felt a tear escape the corner of my eye. It's been two years since I've seen her.
"I'm on my way!.",
I said as I grabbed my bag and dashed out of their apartment. "Where are you going?!", Jooheon said as him and Kyun followed me down the stairs. I kept my focus on the stairs as I ran down, careful not to miss a step. "Hey at least let me drive you there!", He shouted, grabbing my arm and leading me to his car. "Why do you have a car if you can teleport?", I asked taking a seat in the passenger side while Kyun hopped in the back seat. Jooheon reached over and grabbed my seat belt to buckle me up. I gulped at how close he was to me, I could feel his body heat on me, and I couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
"You can't teleport with me so we're taking Wonho's car. He just shifted into the studio at work with Kihyun so I guess I'll give this driving thing a go.", he said as he closed his eyes. "Umm, you gotta drive with your eyes open. Please I need to see my sister!", I said in a small panic. He opened his eyes, now that dark shade of black I've imagined seeing before. "Just hold on, I feel Hyungwon nearby.", he said as the car shifted into gear and I felt like my body was being pulled into the chair with the speed we were going. "WHAT THE FUCK JOOHEON!?", I shouted as I closed my eyes, hearing Kyun giggling in the back seat sent chills down my spine. These two really are crazy.
"Here.", Jooheon said cheerfully as the car hit a sudden stop flinging my body forward, luckily he put my seat belt on. I opened my eyes with my hair all over my face and out of place. "That was fast.", I managed to say as I exhaled deeply.
He smiled and leaned over, brushing the loose hair out of my face, pushing some behind my ear. I kept my eyes on him as he kept a smile on his face. "Sorry I didn't mean to drive crazy.", he said as he unbuckled my seat belt. I couldn't manage to say a word as I felt my cheeks flush red. He looked at my cheeks and chuckled in such a manly tone, I felt my heart skip multiple beats. If he keeps this up he's definitely going to have to revive me again. “Wait.”, he said grabbing my hand. i gulped and turned back. “Whatever happens, you can NOT tell Ari about what we talked about. It’s for her own safety.”, he said in a serious tone. I nodded, slowly moving my hand out of his grasp.
I cleared my throat as I stepped out of the car and walked up to Hyungwon. "Where's Ari?", I said causing him to jump. He looked a bit scared to see me for a second. "O-oh.. she's following Priscila, she's on the phone with me letting me know where they're at right now he said waving the phone in the air. I sighed in relief and grabbed the phone from him. "Where are you guys at right now?!", I asked through the phone. "Well, I don't think you're gonna like this to be honest Tea..", she said in a worried tone. "I'm at the interstate across from the mini mart. I think you should be here.", she said as we hung up.
I ran up to her as the rest followed from behind. "What's going on? Did you lose her?!", I shouted as I grabbed her by the shoulders. She gave a faint smile before turning her head to the club across the street. "What she got dragged in there?! Did someone hurt her?!", I yelled in desperation. She shook her head and looked down at the sidewalk. "Actually...I saw her entering. I was close enough to the entrance to hear her talking to the bouncer...Tea..she works here..", she said with a sad look. "You mean.. she's a bar tender?", I asked confused. Oh god please don't say what I think you're going to say. "No...Tea, Priscila is..a dancer here. I overheard her conversation with that big guy over there. She even had her outfit in her bag, I saw it sticking out.", she said as she scratched the back of her head.
I felt the fire in my veins burn as my eyes began to feel a burning sensation. "Whoa, what the fuck Tea!", she said as she backed away quickly. "What?", I said as I blinked. She was holding her chest as she tried to calm her breathing. "I could have sworn your eyes turned black for a second, you scared the shit out of me.", she said as I saw the two brothers exchanging looks of concern. "Wait a minute.. where's Kyun?", I asked in shock as everyone looked around. I heard them talking in their heads again, I'm still not sure how I can hear this.
I felt the whole conversation was boring as is, and nothing had anything to do with me. "She's a dancer there", I heard that girl standing with Tea say. I turned my head to the high class club to my right. I swiftly slid behind the alley near us and shifted into the club alone. I watched as different whores, a lot more classier than the ones I've dealt with down in the underworld, lean on men for their money. I know what they want from them and it's sad that these girls have to get money this way, it makes my heart sad. Some of them have great bodies, maybe Minhyuk would like it here, but as for me, I've never been interested in these cheap girls, underworld or not.
I sighed walking around, thinking of getting a drink while my brothers were occupied. They never let me drink and now was the perfect time. I spotted a girl wearing nothing but pasties on her..you know, holding a tray full of drinks. "Want one sweety? On the house.", she said with a seductive tone. I turned my head away as I grabbed the drink and ran away to a seat close to an empty stage.
"And now our new girl of the night! PRISCILA!!", the announcer shouted, I turned my head to the stage after hearing the name. Isn't that who Teagan was looking for?
The curtains opened as a beautiful girl walked on stage. I've never seen someone so breath taking in my life. I stood up immediately looking at her glide down the isle like a goddess. She's nothing compared to the girls I've been forced to handle in the past. I actually wanted to..get her out of here. Immediately. She doesn't deserve this, she's too precious for this life style.
I need to get her attention quickly. I watched as men were throwing cash at her while she danced. I realized the only way she'd make her way to me is if I threw cash myself. Luckily money isn't a problem for my family. I summoned a large sum of money into my pockets as I began waving it towards her. "Hey, Priscila! I got more money than all of them.", I called out with a smile. She stood in place, startled before making her way toward me. "I’ve never seen you before.", she said as she leaned down for me to put the money in her bra. Instead, I placed it into her hand and looked at her with sadness washing over me. I made time slow down so I could talk to her.
"What are you doing here princess.", I said as I felt my heart clench in pain. She gave me a sad expression, looking around, finally realizing what I had done to the time zone. "I-I don't know honestly..", she said as her eyes began to water. "You're so much better than this.", I said sadly as I grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to me as I whispered in her ear. "Let me save you. I can feel the hurt in your heart, and I won't let you hurt again. Don't show your body to other guys if you don't want to.", I said as I pulled her off the stage and into a hug. “I know you’re not comfortable doing this so don’t..”, I said as I helped her down.
Why do I feel so drawn to this girl? I don't even know her, but why does she open up to me without questioning me? I pulled away to look at her face, she was in tears. "Hey...I'm taking you back..", I said as I took my coat off and gave it to her to cover up. "Taking me back?", she said as she stopped in her tracks. "Yes, back to Teagan.", I said in a stern but calm tone. "How do you know Teagan?!", she said in shock. "If she finds out I've been working here, she'll kill me!", she said as she began to back up, bumping into someone.
Uh-oh... not good.
She turned around to face the person who's been looking for her. "You are SO fucking dead.", Tea said as she grabbed her by the arm and took her out the exit.
