Ch. 18- Unveil

The Instincts of Love

Un-edited so sorry for any mistakes!!!


 

Sungyeol's POV:

 

Another week had passed again and the air around here was getting colder. I even had to wear a scarf today. Usually winter doesn't come that fast but for some reason it just has. But I don't mind. Honestly, I like the feel of winter. It just feels right to me.

I'm walking around the campus along with Chanyeol because Baekhyun had to meet up with a few people today. It was evident of the disappointment on Chanyeol's features, but I didn't say anything about it. If I were to mention Baekhyun right now Chanyeol would become a gooey mess of tears.

Lets just say nobody wants to be around when he is like that. Even me, his brother, doesn't want to be around when that happens. Because the next thing that happens is that he clings onto you until Baekhyun comes.

Suddenly Chanyeol stopped and he was staring faraway. I waved my hand in front of him but he didn't even blink. I shook him but there was not reaction either. Then I saw Chanyeol's necklace glow like a warm light. I reached for it but then my hand was slapped away.

I turned to Chanyeol who was staring blankly at me.

"Yah! Chanyeol, are you alright?" I was about to place my hand on his shoulder but out of nowhere Baekhyun came.

"Chanyeol!"

That got Chanyeol to snap out of whatever he was in. I watched as Chanyeol turned to Baekhyun and smiled at him. Then I couldn't help but think of Myungsoo and the greenhouse. I smiled softly at the memory but snapped out when Chanyeol and Baekhyun were leaving.

"Chanyeol, meet me here after you are finished with your last class! Also Baekhyun take care of him!" I waved my hand at him.

"Okay hyung! See you later! Also I can take care of myself thank you very much!"

Baekhyun nudged Chanyeols side and waved goodbye to me too. "Don't worry! I will take care of him!"

Once I couldn't see them anymore, I head to class. I was the first one so I took out the book. The book I brought with me is the one full of secrets about the werewolves. I haven't told anybody about this book, but I feel like I should tell Myungsoo about this. He is a werewolf so I should tell him because it seems wrong. Right?

I opened the first page and then flipped through the pages looking for anything new. I stopped at a picture of a large pack of wolves. They had silver-grey eyes and it felt like they were staring right at me. Also their fur were a variety of colors from grey to blonde. But their eyes stood out the most.

Then I see three letters that make one word. However, I never heard of it or them.

EXO.

"Sungyeol, what are you reading there?"

I slam the book shut and smile nervously and turned my head around. I let out a sigh of relief seeing that it was only Myungsoo. I lightly punched Myungsoo's shoulder and laughed.

"Myungsoo, next time don't sneak up behind me like that."

He smiled at me and sat down next to me. Right when he was about to take the book from me, I snatched it away and shoved it into my backpack. Then I quickly took out a notebook and pencil to make it look less suspicious.

"Sungyeol, what were you reading?" I turned my head and nervously smiled at Myungsoo.

"Oh, nothing you need to know. Just a book I was reading for pleasure."

Myungsoo scooted closer to me and I scooted away from him. He attempted to grab my backpack but I grabbed onto it. He and I were having a bit of a tug of war with my backpack and he wasn't going to let go.

"Please let go!"

"Why can't you let me see what you are reading?"

"Because I don't want you to!"

The backpack popped open making the contents spill out. The book fell out of my backpack and onto the floor. Myungsoo's reflexes were quicker than mine as he picked the the book up before I could.

I closed my eyes bracing myself. I didn't want to see Myungsoo's reaction. After all, I wanted him to trust me with his secret.

"Sungyeol, how come you didn't tell me you had this book?"

I opened my eyes and looked up. I immediately looked back down because Myungsoo's eyes had turned red. In that second I could tell he wasn't very pleased. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. So I shut my mouth and sighed.

"Why didn't you come to me? This book has the history and secrets of the world of werewolves. Did you think of the consequences that if a human had this book in their hands, it would mean something bad for that human?" I shook my head. I glanced up to see Myungsoo run his hand through his hair.

"I-I'm sorry. One day I was at the library and the book was laying out in the open. It was where I usually I sit and it didn't look like it was a library book either. So I took it. Also at that time I didn't know you were a werewolf. Neither did I know that werewolves existed."

He slammed the book down onto the table and opened the book. I watched him as he looked through the pages, but there were nothing. Even the page I was just reading had nothing on it. The whole book was empty and I could feel Myungsoo get angrier. I tried to reach for Myungsoo but a feeling told me not to. So I just stood there and watched Myungsoo.

"Don't show this book to anybody else. It seems like I can't read it since there isn't any writing. Promise me you won't ever show it to anybody." I nod my head frantically.

"I promise I won't tell anybody. I-I promise..."

Myungsoo suddenly left the room and didn't come back when the class started. I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault he was mad. I mean it was my fault because I have never seen him this made before, and I didn't tell him about this earlier. I should have told him the moment I found out he was a...werewolf. But I didn't.

He must feel like I don't trust him but I do! Out of everyone I know I probably trust him the most.

There was nothing else I could do so I put the stuff that had fallen out back into my backpack. I sat in my seat as the professor began the lecture. During the whole lecture, I didn't pay attention at all. Actually, I couldn't pay attention because all I could think about is Myungsoo. This is the first time I have seen him that way especially towards me.

The moment class ended, I booked it out of there. My head whipped around trying to see if I could find Myungsoo. Yet, I couldn't find him. He was nowhere to be seen, but he must be on campus ground.

I sighed signaling I was giving up. With nowhere else to go, I decided to head to the library to see if there were any books for my project on philsophy. I don't understand why I need to research but whatever. Maybe it will get my mind off of things for a bit.

From the corner of my eye I saw Myungsoo walking into the science building with Sunggyu-sshi. I was about to run up to them, but out of nowhere Henry-sshi blocked my way.

"H-Henry-sshi, you kind of scared me there."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Henry-sshi rubbed his neck and I saw that his face was a bit red.

He must be feeling embarrassed.

I shake my head and wave my hands in front of me. "No! It's okay! It's nice seeing you so it is alright. So, how are you Henry-sshi?" 

We began walking to the library though I was wondering if Henry-sshi had to go anywhere else like his next class. Though it didn't seem like it since he hasn't left my side.

"I've been doing well. How about you? Last time you were crying." My eyes widened and I stopped in my tracks.

I remembered that I cried suddenly and I didn't know why either. It felt like this rush of emotions came over me and the only way for it to pour out was through tears. After that everything just disappeared into thin air.

"Yeah, I'm feeling better. I think I just wasn't feeling well that day." He patted my head and smiled.

"Well, that's good. I don't want you to be feeling sad. I worry about you since we are friends."

"Friends?" He stopped and stood in front of me crossing his arms with a smirk.

"Of course! I consider you my friend," his face got closer to mine, "Don't you?" I blushed at how close our faces were. The only response was a nod.

"Good. Well, I have to go to my music lesson right now. I will see you later?" I nod my head again.

He patted my head as he left and I stood there stunned. I've known Henry-sshi to be friendly, but not this friendly. I shook the thought away and proceeded towards the library. But I caught a tall figure running out of a building and towards another building.

Wait? Isn't that Chanyeol? What is he doing? Where exactly is he going?

I decided to follow him instead into the building as well. Luckily my long limbs were able to let me catch up with him without making him notice that I was behind him. Also I could tell Chanyeol looked scared, angry, and was panicking. Then I caught small glimpse at his necklace and it was glowing like earlier. But this time it was glowing brighter; it was glowing a firery red.

Chanyeol went inside the building and I followed him. Then he went inside one of the empty classrooms and I made sure to hide myself behind a corner. I waited a few minutes until he came storming out. Once he was quite a feet ahead, I silently followed and my eyes drifted into the classroom. That was when I gasped seeing the state the classroom was in. There were chairs all over the place, the board and walls had scratches and dents. The only thing I could think of that would be able to make this sort of mess were:

Werewolves. And from what I can tell there were quite a few of them too. But what does Chanyeol have to do with them? I have to keep on following him to figure it out.

I quickly caught up with Chanyeol and saw that he was heading towards the parking lot. I looked around us seeing there were no other students which was good... I think. Right now what is most important is to figure out what is happening. Deep inside my gut I can't help but feel like something bad is going to happen.

Before I knew it, Chanyeol got inside the car. The car began to drive off and I ran stepping up to the car. I closed my eyes waiting for any impact of some kind but only hear the skids of the car tires.

"Sungyeol-hyung, what the hell are you doing there?! Get out of the way!"

I opened my eyes relieved that I didn't get hit by the car. "No! I'm coming with you wherever you are going!" I got into the passenger seat and threw my backpack into the back. My head turned to him to see that he was glaring at me.

"Hyung, this doesn't involve--"

"Yes it does Chanyeol. I'm your hyung and I can tell you are panicking right now. I don't know what it is about but I'm going to help you whatever it is. Now drive where you have to go to." He looked at me stunned. "WELL GO ALREADY!"

Chanyeol fumbled with starting the car back up and drove way to fast when getting out of the parking lot. I looked out the window and sighed gripping onto my necklace.

I hope everything will be alright...

Myungsoo's POV:

 

I slammed the door open and shut as I left the classroom. The professor passed by me but I didn't give a care to say anything to him. Instead I just walked ahead and stormed out of the building. I inhaled deeply once I was out and exhaled harshly.

A pebble laid before me so I kicked it as hard as I could. It went all the way to a tree leaving a dent in it. I just chuckled to myself and walked away wondering where I should go next.

Most of the classes would probably be full and it would look awfully suspicious if I were out here by myself. The professor didn't say anything as I walked away so I guess he didn't really care at all. Maybe I should just go to the library where Sungyeol...

Wait! Why am I thinking about him? I shouldn't be thinking about him. There is no need for me to think about him!

I continued to walk to the library even though I said to myself that I shouldn't because that is where Sungyeol usually hangs out. Also too many things had happened in there. Though there is one thing I want to find out is how that book got there. Those books are rare meaning there are very few of them. And that one...I can tell that one was an original. Which means that it has been passed down generation to generation. Even my parents don't have one because ours had got destroyed many, many years ago.

But I remember what my parents told me. They told me that very few could read it. Reason why is that they are either gifted, had learned to read it, or were born with the special blood. I don't have any of those, though. Those who had the gift were rare as well and not many would want to read because it would be knowing the truth of our history and probably our future.

Then there are those with the special blood: the White wolves. Unfortunately they were wiped off from the surface of the world. Maybe there are a few left, but they are probably in hiding. All I know there aren't any in South Korea because all of them were killed. The leaders of the White wolves were killed. I don't know the details but it was said that the only song of the alpha was killed too.

I clench my fist at that thought. My blood was boiling yet I couldn't help but find it ironic because I don't even know that child. Even so, why couldn't they let him live?

Digusting. How could they kill a baby? I would have snapped those Rebel werewolves heads off if I had been in that war.

An image of my father's scar from that war flashed in my mind. It was on back and it was from his left shoulder to his right hip bone. My mother told me that she cried seeing dad so beat up. Sunggyu-hyung had said he was terrified and almost puked from the sight. At that time my mom was pregnant with me.

"Myungsoo, what are you doing here?"

Before I knew it, my body had led me to the library. Sunggyu-hyung was standing in front of me waving his hand in my face. I swatted his hand away and sighed. He patted my head like he used to do when we were kids.

"Is there something wrong? You can tell hyung." I shake my head.

"I rather not."

"You sure?" He pulled me inside and set me down on one of the chairs. Then he handed me a cup. I took a sip and smiled; it was hot chocolate.

"Thank you, hyung. You still remember that my favorite as a child was hot chocolate."

"Of course. I wouldn't be a good brother if I wasn't. So tell me, what is on your mind?" I placed the cup down on the table.

"Sungyeol... I caught him with one of those books." He raised his eyebrow at me. Sunggyu-hyung was obviously confused.

"One of those books? I don't get what you mean."

"What I mean it is one of those books." I leaned over and whispered into his ear. "The books that contain the history of werewolves. Also it's an original too." I pulled back to see him stunned and...frozen.

"Are you sure about this?" I nod my head.

Sunggyu-hyung stood up and pulled me up. I quickly grabbed my cup as he pulled me out of the library. Then with the direction we were going, he was taking me to the science building. I was practically running at the speed he was going. To actually think that Sunggyu-hyung was fast and strong.

"Hyung, why are you taking me inside the science building?"

He didn't respond back and instead we go upstairs to the roof. But once he opened the doors, there we see Woohyun-hyung and his girl talking to each other. I opened my mouth to make them leave but Sunggyu-hyung had beat me to it.

"Woohyun and Jiyeon-sshi, would you two please leave?" The two of them turned their heads to us.

"And why should we--"

"WOOHYUN!" Sunggyu-hyung had let me go and walked up to Woohyun.

Crap...this isn't going to be good.

I watched silently as Sunggyu-hyung dragged Woohyun inside the building leaving me with her. She walked up to me and held out her hand.

"Hi, I'm Jiyeon. I don't think we have properly met." I take her hand and shook it.

"It's nice to meet you Jiyeon-sshi. I'm Myungsoo."

"I know..."

"Y-You know?"

She pulled her hand from mine and smiled. "Yeah, Woohyun has told me things and mentioned you."

"Oh, I see. I guess you would know who I am that way. So, can I ask you a question?"

She had walked away from me back to the railing. I went towards her and crossed my arms on the railing as she did too. I watched her from the corner of my eye. I couldn't help but see that she is pretty...but I wouldn't fall in love with her. There was a feeling that I couldn't fall in love with her.

"Sure, what do you want to ask me?"

"Um, are you and Woohyun-hyung going out with each other?" I see a faint blush on her cheeks as she smiled.

"Yeah, he and I are going out." I just nod my head.

Sunggyu-hyung... I wonder how he feels about that.

 

 

Sunggyu's POV:
 

I pulled Woohyun inside and pushed him against the wall. I slammed both of my hands on the wall trapping him. The pendant around Woohyun's necklace was glowing brightly, but it was cloudy. It wasn't pure white and I began to get a bit scared seeing it.

"What do you want Sunggyu?"

I turned my attention back to him and snarled at his attitude.

"What do I want?! I want you to listen to me because you are my protector whether you like it or not." I leaned foward my face in front of his. "Also I have more power of you so I would watch my mouth if I were you. Change your attitude as well. Nobody is going to like you if your like that."

"Or really?" Woohyun smirked at me and I just wanted to punch it right off.

Is he actually going to challenge me right now? If that is what he wants then I will give it to him.

Backing away from him, I took a deep breath and punched him right in the jaw. I could have broke it but held back. It would be bad to lose myself and get angry. Then everything would get chaotic.

"You pack a powerful punch." He wiped off the trail of blood from the side of his mouth. "But I can do better."

Woohyun stepped foward and I saw him aiming for me. I stepped back insync with his and kicked his legs sending him down. Right when I was about to kick him, he had pulled me under making my body fall next to his. Then he got on top of me grabbing both of my hands and locked them together above my head. I was about to kick him until he began kneeing my leg.

"I wouldn't move if I were." I looked up and glared at him.

"Shut up and get the fu--"

Before I knew it he had shut me up with his lips. My whole body stilled feeling his lips on mine. It felt like he was taking control of my whole body...and I was scared. I didn't want my feelings for him to explode, not like this.

I struggled underneath him trying to push him away. But that only made him press further. His tongue was trying to enter my mouth. I wouldn't let him, though, he kneed my leg making me gasp in pain as his tongue slipped in. Then I was lost at that moment. Time was slowing down, my hearbeat slowed down, my whole world was slowing down.

My body and mind couldn't fight back. I let myself go limp and kissed him back. This is my first time ever having a kiss like this. My first kiss with him. It was sloppy and there was drool falling down the side of my mouth but it made my body go on flames. Then that was when I started to cry because of how he was making my body go out of control.

With all of my strength, I kneed him in the stomach and punched him as hard as possible. He collided with the wall making a dent, but I didn't care. As I stood up, my legs felt wobbly, and my mind was in a mess.

"God dammit Woohyun. You just have to make my life a ing mess don't you! Why don't you go die in a hole!"

I felt myself losing it. I ran to the nearest bathroom and entered one of the stalls. My body reacted before my mind could and I coughed out blood. But it wasn't all red...black...black was swirled with the red.

N-No...it's too soon.

"Sunggyu-hyung! Sunggyu-hyung are you in here?!"

 I got out of the stall and head to the sink washing my mouth of the blood. Then I wiped my mouth with my sleeve and sighed. I took a deep breath and exhaled.

"I-I'm here Myungsoo." The door slammed open and entered in Myungsoo all breathless. I couldn't help but chuckle to me seeing him more breathless than me.

"S-Sunggyu-hyung..."

I looked at him and I saw the panic in his eyes. He was worried about something. To be more exact he was panicking about something.

"What's wrong?"

"Sungyeol left with his brother!"

"And what about it?"

"I have a bad feeling about it! Please we have to follow them!" I sighed and nod my head.

"Alright lets go. Your intuition is usually right so lets go follow him."

We both ran out of the building passing Woohyun and Jiyeon-sshi.

"I'm sorry Sunggyu... I don't know what overcame me."

"It doesn't matter anymore. Just...make sure you are close to me when I call for your help."

"... Yeah... I will be."

A tear slipped from my eye.

"Good...good..."

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Nobody's POV:
 

 

The car parked right out of where the forest is. Chanyeol immediately got out of the car and Sungyeol quickly followed him. It was the same place where the werewolf incident happened.

"Chanyeol, what are we doing here?"

Chanyeol stopped in his tracks and turned his head over his shoulder. Sungyeol couldn't help but feel the anger and sadness in Chanyeol's eyes. His brother didn't answer and continued forward. Sungyeol didn't press further.

They kept on running, well more like Chanyeol was, when they reached an area of the forest where there weren't any trees. It was like empty circle. To Sungyeol it felt like an arena...an arena for werewolves. Sungyeol grabbed onto Chanyeol's sleeve finally catching his brother's attention.

"Please, tell me why are we here and what is happening." Chanyeol looked at Sungyeol and clenched his fist as he let the words out.

"...Baekhyun was kidnapped. I received a text earlier saying that he was kidnapped and that if I wanted him back I had to come here. That room was where they left me another note to where to which is where we are now... I'm sorry to bring you into this."

Sungyeol shook his head and took Chanyeol's face into his hands. "It's not your fault. Whoever took Baekhyun we are going to bring him back...together." Chanyeol nodded at this as a tear silently slipped from his eye.

"Well, what do we have here? Didn't I tell you to come along?"

The both of them pulled apart as a group of five came from behind the trees. One of the guys was pulling an unconscious Baekhyun. There was dry blood on the side of his head and Chanyeol saw it. He was about to pounce on the guy until the said guy pulled out a knife.

"Now, now. I wouldn't do anything rash if I were you. This boy... What was his name? Oh yeah, Baekhyun. It was quite sweet actually. We kept on asking kindly where his best friend was, but he wouldn't tell me. All we asked was the name and location but still wouldn't confess."

The guy kicked the unconscious Baekhyun to the ground. This woke up Baekhyun who was startled to see Chanyeol and Sungyeol here together. The one thing he didn't want to happen.

"C-Chanyeol? Sungyeol-hyung? W-What are you two doing here?! Please you have to get away! Run away-- AH!" The guy pulled on Baekhyun's hair lifting him up from the ground.

"So now you speak? Hmph. Useless."

Baekhyun was thrown to the ground and the other four guys started to beat him up. Sungyeol peered from the corner of his eye and immediately backed away when he saw Chanyeol's body turning red. There was even steam coming out of his body.

"C-Chanyeol! Calm down! W-What is happening to you?"

Sungyeol reached up to touch his brother but burnt himself in the process. Suddenly, in a second, the burned flesh began to heal. His eyes widened seeing it and began to panic.

He looked between Chanyeol, the gang beating up Baekhyun, and his hand.

W-What is going on? Someone please tell me what is--

"LET HIM GO! LET GO OF BAEKHYUN!"

Everybody whipped there head towards Chanyeol. All of their eyes widened and Baekhyun was the only one who could barely open his eyes. He reached out for the angry Chanyeol and called out his name.

"C-Chan...y-yeol..."

Baekhyun's hand went limp and so did the rest of his body. This was the final trigger for Chanyeol as he howled to the sky and crouched into position. Sungyeol stood there watching his brother and feared for the worst. He shook his head once, twice, and many more.

The five guys got into a crouching position too and Sungyeol turned his head to them. He shook his head once again not wanting to believe this. Sungyeol couldn't believe what was happening to them right now. Chanyeol let out a low growl getting back Sungyeol's attention.

Fangs grew, nails became longer, clothes were ripping: Sungyeol realized what was happening. He opened his mouth and screamed.

"CHANYEOL! NO!"
