“Will you promise to listen to us obediently?” Heechul tried to strike a deal with Kris who eyed him annoyingly.

“If I do, will you let me make a phone call?” Kris didn’t want to lose either. If that guy wanted to strike a deal, he’s better get something out of it anyway.

Heechul sighed as he exchanged look with Ryeowook who just nodded his head. Heechul gave up, “Fine.”

“Alright then.” Kris seemed satisfied before he looked at Heechul. “How do you know I am the Keeper?” Kris asked directly to Heechul.

Heechul shrugged away as he replied, “Because the previous Keeper was my spouse.”

Kris seemed taken back at the sudden reply, “The Chameleon guy?”

“He has a name, you know; His name is Hankyung.” Heechul corrected unhappy. Who will feel happy when your spouse was being called Chameleon guy?

“I’m sorry.” Kris apologized immediately in guilt. He can imagine how offended he would feel if someone called his Luhan as Mind Controller guy. “So, you are all previous EXO before us?” Kris asked Heechul and Ryeowook who nodded their heads as the answer. “How many are you?”

“You mean how many of us left?” Heechul said sarcastically, but still Kris didn’t miss the sadness in their eyes.

Again, Kris felt guilty for asking. Kris could never imagine how he would feel if he lost one of his friends. “I am sorry.”

“Why are you keep apologizing? That’s bothersome.” Heechul snorted annoyingly.

“We used to be 15, but since the last battle, we’re only 5 left.” It was Ryeowook who actually answered Kris question.

Kris was about to apologize again when he caught Heechul glaring eyes at him, like he’s daring him to say he’s sorry again. In the end, Kris just kept his mouth shut. “So, why are two kidnapped me here? And what’s with the wound in my chest? What happened?” Kris decided to ask to the point.

“We aren’t kidnapping you, Kris. We’re protecting you.” Ryeowook sighed as he looked at confused Kris.

“I don’t understand.” Kris voiced out his confusion.

Ryeowook sighed before he started to explain, “Just like you all, we started to find out about ourselves being part of extra ordinaries. There were 15 of us back then. Hankyung hyung is our chosen Keeper of The Book. The Book helped us a lot in any problems we faced; magically or demonically.” Ryeowook sighed again before continued, “As you know, we can’t avoid evils from coming to us, we learnt to face them. However, we didn’t expect ourselves to face with the strongest evil ever existed. Before we were able to destroy it, it has already done the opposite way. Half of us were killed by it.”

Kris can see the sadness visibly appeared on Ryeowook and Heechul face when they were forced to relive their worst memories.

“When half of us were dead, we weren’t the EXO as one already. Our strong unity was dead, and it’s the advantage for the evil. So, we did what we’re too ashamed to admit; we ran away. We hid ourselves from the world in order for the next EXO appeared. Then Hankyung hyung had the Sight. He had the Sight of the reborn of new EXO. And that’s how he found you guys.” Ryeowook continued his story.

“I don’t understand.” Kris suddenly said. “What is this evil wanted from you guys?”

“It’s after The Book.” Heechul was now voiced out. “He’s after the Keeper; that’s why we did what we needed to do; to keep our Keeper safe.” Heechul sighed before he looked at Kris, “And that’s what we’re doing right now. We’re keeping you safe.”

“What this evil wanted from The Book?” Kris asked again. He needed to get clear of what’s happening.

“They wanted the power of The Book.” Heechul replied before he eyed the Keeper. “Do you even know what would happen if the evil has The Book?”

Kris just stared at the older with shaking head. He honestly doesn’t know anything; he admitted it. Heck, he’s just figured out his status of being The Keeper for not long. How the heck he should know, right?

“The Book is the only key in protecting this world of human. Without The Book, there would not be living human. Without The Book guide, evils wo
