Chapter 27

Taekwoon

    "Who are you?" The imposter pulled back in attempt to free his trapped hand.

"Unhand me!" The imposter demanded. After a moment of struggling, his shoulders fell in defeat. "I'm came here to get you.  I need to bring you back with me."

I raised a single brow. "That didn't answer my question."

The stranger rolled his eyes and sighed impatiently. "My name is Hakyeon. I am the second price of Vannes. If you don't come back N may not be able to return home."

At that moment Jaehwan burst into the courtyard. "He is an alien!" He exclaimed. Jaehwan's eyes darted between us, before settling on the stranger. "Unhand him you alien."

The imposter huffed in frustration. “I am a member of the royal family of Vannes, and currently the Ruling member of the family. I am not a, whatever you called me.” He waved his hand in a dismissive gesture

    “Woah, we’re royalty?” Hyuk grinned, and sat down on the grass beside the imposter.

    Jaehwan, Wonsik and Hongbin joined us on the ground forming a small circle. I still held his wrist. Occasionally he would tug trying to free his arm.

    “Explain. Who is N and why does he need me?” I asked, slightly loosening my grasp on his arm.     

    “N is the me from here.” He explained. Tugging one last time, and finally freeing his arm. He settled down into a more comfortable position. He scanned our faces, and must have decided to explain further. "I'm the him from there."

    "None of this makes any sense! Where is there?" asked Wonsik sounding slightly frustrated.

    "Vannes." Hakyeon stated simply.

    "How do you get to Vannes?" Hongbin asked.

    "Through the door." He stated simply. The imposter shook his head. "It's easier to show you. I don't really have time to explain everything, but you are all in Saint Malo too. We need to go there now, or Prince Leo may do something rash."

    I grew increasingly frustrated with the unhelpful answers. "Who is this Prince Leo? And why does he want to hurt you?"

    "He is you." Hakyeon pointed at me with a small smile. "He does not want to hurt me. He wants to hurt N, because he looks like me, and Vannes and Saint Malo are at war. It's an old Family Feud."

    “The me from Vannes wants to hurt the you from here?” I asked trying to take everything in.

    Hakyeon huffed, “No, the you from Saint Malo. Leo is trying to hurt N, who is the me from here.” I nodded faking understanding.

    "If it's a family feud then why can't you resolve the issue?" Hongbin and Hyuk were the only people not becoming frustrated with the way the conversation was progressing.     

    "Fine let's just go. I don't understand what you are saying, but it's obvious that you need our help." I stood and pulled the imposter to his feet. "Lead the way." I gestured in front of me.

    He lead us to the theater hallway. "Uh, do you have anything else to wear? You
