"No man no! Something is wrong with that kid, he's not normal and I'm sure you guys can see it! He's from Incheon, Incheon! Do you guys not know what happened in that ghost town? And all of a sudden this new kid comes to town, who looks freaking creepy as , and all these people have started to gone missing! Please tell me you guys aren't blind and you connect the ing dots that's literally right in front of you," Baekhyun panted, his face all red from yelling. Words can not express of how much anger he's feeling right now at these oblivious beings. He shook his head, leaning against a table as he his own hair. He knew something superatural was going on, he can feel it in his guts and he won't be the one to be in a blind eye about this.

Kyungsoo walked over to him and lifted his hand to cover the other's mouth. He slowly quieted the other down, rubbing his stomach in circles with his other hand. "Baby, I know you are under a lot of stress and hormones, but it's not nice to take it out on other people, especially new kids. You don't want to seem like a bully right," he joked earning snickers from others. He can't completely deny Baekhyun's words, all this events did seem a bit too coincidental. But all this was too bizarre to not have any connections. 

Baekhyun glared at him, shoving him away as he wiped his mouth, "That's not funny. You guys are taking this too lightly! You even said it yourself Kyungsoo, that a boy was interviewed and he saw this other boy who summoned a demon to kill everyone! Apparently that boy was odd and weird and everything that happened around the boy was bad things. Do you guys not see all the freaking signs thats pointing directly at him," his words sped faster each time he spoke, "I don't care if you guys judge or hate me, I'm not about to let someone ruin anything with me! I don't want him near me, I don't give a . He gives off creepy vibes and everytime I turn around I feel like he's there staring right at me wanting to eat me or something," Baekhyun huffed grabbing a bottle of water near the table beside him. All that ranting made him dehydrated and light headed, as if he was floating on thin air.

Kyungsoo only rolled his eyes crossing his arms, "You are being over dramatic. Do you seriously believe that some boy summoned a stupid demon to kill everyone? That masscre was everyone killing each other so the demon story doesn't add up idiot. The boy probably wanted attention or some , Xiumin might have not even been in the masscre when it happened," he tried to explain not believing any of this bull crap. He sighed, cursing the media these days who obviously is feeding the public lies just to obtain more attention. 

"I'm calling Sehun," Kai blurted out reaching for his phone in his pockets. He had the other on speed dial so once he found his name and clicked on the call button, he placed his phone by his ear waiting for the other to answer the ringing tone. Kai got worried by what Baekhyun is saying. He doesn't necessarily believe what the other was saying, but there are signs that Baekhyun might have a point. As Sehun didn't answer, he cursed as he called again. 

"What the heck is happening here," Suho muttered to Tao who just shrugged his shoulders not having any clue either. Neither of them question it as they just stared in amusement. Kris walked in moments after seeing everyone flustered. He rose a brow, walking over to Lay standing there by the edge of a pool. He asked what was going on, Lay giving him a brief answer.

"Well, he hasn't done anything to me yet, so I'm not going to let a bunch of stories get to me," Chen told them looking through his phone and grinning showing Chanyeol the picture of him in a bra. The area did get more dark, the silence killing the only positive aura around. 

Luhan sighed, pursing his lips as he started to walk inside, "He's a good guy, I know it. He's just misunderstood." Watching him go in, they all started to head in slowly, Baekhyun pursing his lips shaking his head. Kai sighed in relief when he told the others that Sehun was alright and he was in his room making Luhan glance at Baekhyun with a smug look.

 

Xiumin sat there, relaxing as the water seeped in his body, bringing him to a calm state. He looked up at the sky that seemingly grew red each time he came in here. In his peripheral vision, he can see Donghae sitting there by the lake in his hand a new book he was reading. His eyes skimmed through the page, his thumb between the next sheet and the one he was currently on. Not a second later, he flipped the page reading on. "What book are you reading now," he asked, lifting his hand above his face, his eyes staring right at his palm. Water droplets fell onto his pale skin, gliding down his cheeks.

Donghae flipped the page once more, his never once leaving the paper. "It's about a girl," he spoke, his voice deep but calming to one's ear. "She lives in a world where no one else lives but her. Her home is a small cottage like house, with nothing but vast grass spread all around. It tells a story of how she searches to all ends to find someone to play with, a friend," Donghae told him, looking up from the book to stare at Xiumin.

Xiumin continued to stare at the sky, as his hand was brought down to his face, covering some parts, some of his hair hiding his eyes. "Why do you read such sad stories," his voice almost like a whisper but still could be heard from the quiet atmosphere. 

Donghae smiled, slowly closing the book in his palm. "Someone has to," he replied to the shorter, "someone out their has to acknowledge their story, know that one of us is willing to sit there and listen. No one should feel alone... No matter where they are," he said softly, looking over at the liles swaying by the wind's direction. 

"Guys come on! School is starting," Eunhyuk shouted as he opened the door to see them sitting. "Yoochun is waiting for us, lets go," he grinned nodding his head to the direction of the door. Donghae groaned, shoulders slumping as he scowled at the thought of the hyperactive boy joining to school with them. He muttered to himself, getting up as he dusted himself off walking out the door and telling Xiumin they would be downstairs. 

Walking into the living room, he saw Eunhyuk there by the door talking his way through Donghae's ears, who looked as if he was going to burst in flames, about how excited he was going to attend the same school as those two. His eyes glowed bright like mini stars, as if winning to a concert to go see solar system and their new hit, milky way.

Donghae facepalmed, telling the other he was heading out first, couldn't stand to hear Eunhyuk yap his ears off. Xiumin slipped his shoes on, hearing Eunhyuk calling out to the other to wait. He looked back at Yoochun who smiled but seemed a bit sad, like seeing his kids go off to the real world. Loneliness evident in his eyes. Xiumin turned around and touched the taller's shoulder. He told Yoochun they would be back after school and soon walked out greeting him off. Yoochun stared at the door and couldnt help but give out a small laughter, walking back to his monitor.

As they walked through the gates of their school, Eunhyuk's face gleed with joy, shaking Donghae's arm as he looked around the area of their front part of the school. Donghae yanked his arm away, telling the other that they don't know each other here and for him to not come near him at all times. Eunhyuk huffed. rolling his eyes as he watched Donghae go on to his classroom. He turned Xiumin afterwards, smiling towards him as he talked to the other of how excited he was.

Xiumin only watched him speak, he didn't mind Eunhyuk's talking. It kept things alive and quite frankly, he enjoyed listening to the other's words. He always has something positive and supportive to say. Though the thought that none of them were suppose to know each other in public eye did come across his mind as he looked over at Eunhyuk, who suddenly had butterflies in his stomach. Xiumin pointed his finger, telling the other to go there to receive his slip and his roster. Eunhyuk nodded, nerves settling in him as walked away, waving his hand towards the shorter.

Standing by the door, he breathed slowly to calm himself. Slowly opening the door to his room, he could see everyone in their seats looking at him. He felt his stomach bubbling, getting nervous by all the eyes. He walked up to the teacher, giving his note to him. Facing the class he bowed, "Hi, you guys can call me Eunhyuk! Nice to meet you all," he smiled. 

He gave off a friendly vibe, an aura that could practically brighten anyone's day. People already had a keen sense of liking him. Walking to his seat, he slowly frowned seeing someone he didn't expect. As he walked down the isle, his gaze landed on Sehun who sat there eyes wide staring back. Eunhyuk mentally cursed, thinking this would not be a easy time.

Sehun gripped on the edge of the table, fear trickling down his spine. His eyes couldn't help but travel where he walked. Feeling a nudge by his side, he flinched looking over at Kai who asked if anything was wrong and if he possibly knew the new kid. Sehun shook his head brushing off the question denying it and looked up front, paying attention to class.

 

School ended quicker than usual, Xiumin closing his locker as he walked his way to the exit. Catching someone beside him, he glanced over to see Luhan smiling at him. "Luhan.. hello," Xiumin greeted nodding his head as they both walked out the door and outside, the sun hitting their face.

Luhan blinked surprised as he grinned, "You have gotten better in speaking more. This is probably the first time I heard you say my name, and say hello," he laughed looking over at the other who showed no expression to his words. "I was wondering, if you would like to get some coffee with me," he asked. Just as he asked, both their attention was drawn away to see their group of people surrounding something. They both walked closer to see what was happening. "Hey guys, what's going on?"

Chanyeol looked over and smiled motioning them over, "Hey, this is my cousin and her new baby. Isn't she adorable, she's only a couple months old. They just happen to be passing by," he chuckled poking the baby's cheeks. The mother of the child smiled watching the group of boys fawn over daughter.

"She looks like you Chanyeol. Better be careful, you don't want her ending up like him," Chen joked, laughing out as Chanyeol hit the other. Luhan looked over at cooed at the cuteness, holding her little fingers. 

Xiumin only stared, looking at the mother who seemed to pale and sick. Her aura seemed weak, she looked as if she was growing skinnier by the second. Her voice, almost hollow, her eyes not filled with color. He glanced at the laughing baby, who seemed so full of life, a sound that can warm anyone's heart. He pursed his lips, glancing back at the mother who laughed at Chanyeol's silliness. His eyes shifted to the ground a moment after, not moving an inch. Baekhyun couldn't help but stare at Xiumin who just stood there by the side. He frowned, he knew something was wrong. He was being too quiet, too distant. The aura around him, growing gloomier. 

The mother soon said farewell to them, Chanyeol following along to lead her to his house, greeting off his friends. Luhan turned his attention back to Xiumin, asking his question again. Xiumin stood there, staring at the ground thoughts going around in his mind. "I'm sorry," he apologized, "I'm actually busy. Perhaps another time," he told him, turning around to head home. 

As he walked along the path, Donghae and Eunhyuk soon joined him, when they were far away from school. "This has to ," Donghae sighed. "I didn't expect this to happen. But we can't ignore it," he told them not daring to look at them. Eunhyuk bit his lips, eyes glancing over at Xiumin who kept on walking, his face no emotion nor expression.

"Will you be ok?" Eunhyuk muttered slowly, his voice soft.

Xiumin only walked on ahead, not looking at him. "A job is a job. We get it done." 

 

The moon shown brightly in the sky, lighting up the darkness that spread around. A soft melody could be heard, the room looking dark as the moon shined on the baby blue walls. Rainbows and bunnies painted on the walls, drawers around the corner of the room. The window could be seen, no curtains to cover the night sky. In the middle of the room stood a crib, and in that crib, a baby laid there sound asleep.

"I can't believe this has to happen," he muttered, looking at the baby, "this is just too cruel, having to make Xiumin do this," Eunhyuk chewed on his lips, his head looking away. "How did this happen?" 

Donghae laid by the wall, his eyes casted downwards. "That baby died the moment she was born. When the mother heard that, she was in so much grief she wouldn't stop crying. The mother's emotions was strong enough that her dead daughter was able to hear her. After that, she was miraculously 'alive', one of those miracles of life. The only reason that baby is here now is because of her mother's strong emotions and that resulted in the baby to feed on her mother," Donghae explained.

Eunhyuk looked over at Xiumin, who stood by the crib staring down at the child. He didn't feel good about this whole situation. This was Chanyeol's niece. A dark smoke like aura formed around his hand, a shape that transformed into a gun within his fingers. He lifted his hand and pointed it towards the newborn. He muttered the words, voice so soft that no one could hear. 

They watched him as he stood there, not moving a bit. Eunhyuk got worried and walked closer, "Xiumin, are you ok?"

After another mutter of words, he pulled the trigger and a loud sound resonated in the air. A sound which no one could hear besides them. Eunhyuk flinched and shut his eyes closed. Few seconds after he opened it again to see the baby gone. Xiumin turned around facing away from the crib, eyes glued right in front of him. 

"Let's go, we are going home. Our job is done."
