Chapter 5

Fragile Eternity

Instead of yelling as what a girl would usually do in general if they were in Lara’s situation, she calmly observed and counted the number of guys in her bedroom.

   '1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12.' she counted in her mind. Then, she tried to find a reasonable explanation of all of the incident and then she remembered the number of the cats.

   ‘Before this happened, there were 10 cats in this mansion.’ said Lara again in her mind.

   Before finally searching for any other plausible explanation of the guy’s existence, Luhan, a guy who slept while hugging her said, “Always think before you act. It’s really your typical behaviour. Nonetheless, I salute you for being able to stay calm even in this situation.”

   Hearing that, Lara frowned and made her eyebrows interlocked.

   'What does he mean?’ she wondered.

   'We will explain. It may sound absurd, but we hope you will listen to our explanation first before taking any conclusions.' said a voice.

   Lara rolled her eyes to the right and left, she also turned her head around the room because she just heard a voice but no one was actually spoke.

   ‘It’s me the one who’s speaking.’ said Luhan to Lara.

   Lara was still searching where was the voice came from until Luhan held her hand and told her that it was one of his ability which was Telepathy.

   'Is that you who speak the words in my head?’ she asked again silently toward Luhan and looked into his eyes.

   ‘Yeah, that’s me.’ Luhan exclaimed, nodding.

   Both her eyes dilated, expressing her feelings that were surprised.

   'How can this possible? Is it really true that there is a person in this world that able to do Telephaty?’ she muttered to herself.

   'Yes, I know it is hard to believe. Don’t worry Princess, we will provide an explanation.' said Luhan again through his telepathy to Lara.

   Lara’s eyes still couldn’t get away from Luhan’s and still putting up a surprised expression. Luhan then smiled briefly.

   'Now, are you ready to listen to our explanation?’ asked Luhan again silently in Lara’s mind.

   After a long breath, Lara replied.

   'Yes.' while nodding.

   Then Luhan used his Telepathy again to the guy on the left corner and gave him the sign that Lara was ready.

   'Suho, I guess the Princess is ready to listen to our explanation. You can begin to tell her.’ Luhan said.

   "Princess, we are your guard. We are from Planet EXO. We consist of 12 people and we have different abilities. We previously presented ourselves in the form of cats because we weren't allowed to appear in human form before you reach 18 years old. The reason we appear in front of you now is to protect you." said the guy.

   'Protect me? Why? Did anyone want to hurt me?’ she quietly asked in her mind.

   'Princess, we will inform you more details later. Please be patient for a little longer.' Luhan said in Lara’s mind, interrupting other questions that exist in her mind.

   “Wait! If you guys are indeed the cats, there should be 10 of you not 12.” said Lara, refuted Suho’s statement earlier.

   "Yes, it's true." said a burly guy down in the right corner.

   "But, today there are two additional people who come again. Because you are already 18 years old now, the two of them no longer have to be in a cat form." Luhan said finally making a sound.

   "But, it was quite fun to be a cat. Those who could not experience it miss this valuable opportunity." said the boy who kissed her cheek earlier (Chen).

   Regardless of whether what they were saying were right or wrong, Lara decided to stay calm. She still needed a lot of additional information and explanations so that all of this could makes sense, though.

   Luhan smiled hearing Lara’s thought.

   There was a silence for a moment. Lara didn’t know what she should do next. Hearing her thought, Luhan said, “Ah, please excuse our rudeness. Can we introduce ourselves?” asked Luhan politely.

   “Ah, yeah okay.” answered Lara.

   "That burly guy who is in the down right corner is Xiumin. He is the oldest here." Luhan said. Lara looked at the small burly guy and the guy waved and smiled at her, seeing him Lara also smiled.

   "I’m Luhan." said the guy who made her surprised with his Telepathy ability.

   "The one in the right corner there is Kris." He said again. Then Kris waved at a glance to Lara.

   "I’m Suho." said the guy in the down left corner of the bed.

   "I’m Lay." said the guy who was on top of Lara's head.

   "Hi, I’m Baekhyun." greeted the guy who looks bubbly earlier.

   "I’m Chen." said the boy who kissed her cheek earlier.

   "I’m Chanyeol." said a tall guy with wide ears.

   "Hi, I’m DO." and he smiled with a heart-shaped lips.

   "Hello, I'm the Tao." said the panda guy who was being pranked earlier.

   "I'm Kai." The guy said who was sleeping at Lara's back earlier.  

"And I’m Sehun, the youngest here." said the guy who hugged his leg and was anxious before.

   She tried to look closely and carefully in order to remember their names. And she could find a lot of similarities when they were still in the form of a cat.

   "I don't know how calmly you can control this situation, you definitely will need some time to understand all of this, right?" said Luhan.

   "We will give you time for yourself." Suho said.

   "If you think that you have enough time, come downstairs." said Xiumin   

"We will be waiting for you downstairs." Lay said, her head and smiled, Lara could see his deep dimples. Seing his deep dimples, automatically made her smile too.

   "All right." said Lara.

   Then the 12 guy went out of the room one by one.
