REMINISCENCE

CHAPTER II

A BROTHER'S VEGEANCE

NORMAL POV

The sun was high when Luhan finally woke up. The light in the room was blinding so he continued to blink. After a while, it was bearable so he was now able to see clearly.

"How's your sleep?"

Luhan looked at her and smiled. She kept her promise. She stayed.

"My head hurts a little…" Luhan answered softly.

So Hee nodded to herself and took something out of her bag. Luhan peeked on what she was going to get then So Hee handed over a red bag to him.

"What's this?"

So Hee just smiled at him. Knowing that he won't get any answer, Luhan managed to open the red bag and found out that it was filled with bloxx chocolates. Among the chocolates was a small card with a "get well soon" written on it. He smiled at this. Curious, he asked her who gave the said bag to him.

"It's from Kai."

After hearing Kai's name, Luhan's smile faded. How can he possibly forget it? So Hee was Kai's…

"Can I ask you something?"

Luhan who was cut out of his thoughts again turned his head towards her. Taking it as the go signal, So Hee started to talk.

"Did Kai tell you something 'bout me that he didn't like?"

Luhan gave her a confuse look.

"What do you mean?"

So Hee's expression began to change. Luhan was curious.

"Nothing… just forget it…" then she smiled.

There's something wrong. He knew it. Luhan took her hand and gave it a soft squeeze. So Hee looked at Luhan after that.

"You can trust me."

So Hee's eyes began water. Her smile faded and soft sobs came out of her mouth.

"I don't understand… I love him… can't he see that?" she said between her sobs. Luhan wiped the tears that escaped her eyes and told her that she can let it all out.

"He… He broke up with me…"

Luhan felt the pain in her words. She love Kai so much and he seen that himself. He too is starting to be confused. He was about to tell her that she should talk to him and work things out when So Hee beat him to it.

"I don't hate him… I can't…and I know he have reasons… he may look strong but he is really a baby" she smiled as she say this. "I'm just worried of who will take care of him… If there was somebody else, then I have to know that he will love him more than I do…"

Luhan smiled at her words. This woman really is special. She was so true, so kind and gentle. Why did Kai broke up with her? So Hee was very sweet and beautiful and he was sure that there are a lot of guys out there that wanted to change places with him so why did he have to let her go?

"Luhan…"

He turned his gaze on her and she held his hand as she wipes her tears.

"Enough about that, I want to ask you… Your eye, your hair… does this mean…"

"I don't know… I'm not sure…"

"I know this might sound absurd but," So Hee gently told the dark haired boy, "I feel it… I feel that, you're not what you used to be now…"

"You think… I'm… I'm a human now?" Luhan looked at her with hope-filled eyes.

"If you believe that you are one of us now, then there's nothing wrong with it. You may be different but I always believed that you belong with us, you are always one of us." So Hee replied with an assuring smile.

For the first time in his life, Luhan shed tears. This woman believed in him. She treats him as one of them. He's not a beast anymore, He's a human. He can be with them now, with her.

The moment was so magical but a sudden chill gushed to his neck. He turned towards the window but it was tightly shut. It was a weird feeling, like someone was trying to connect with him but only manage to send a faint buzz.

"Is everything okay?"

He turned his attention back to the girl next to him and said, "Nothing…"

So Hee's eyes wondered towards the window where Luhan was staring at a moment ago.

"I guess I need some more rest."

So Hee shifted from her seat and helped Luhan settle down on his bed. As Luhan close his eyes, she can't help but stare in amazement towards his face. He surely looks handsome. After realizing what she was doing, So Hee blushed from embarrassment and turned her gaze somewhere else. She was about to leave when Luhan grab her hand.

"Don't leave…"Luhan's final words before drifting off to sleep.

So Hee smiled and returned to her seat. She held his hands tightly and muttered something into his ears.

"I won't."

NORMAL POV

This is Impossible!

Kris moved his hand over his brother's bed. There's no signal indicating his presence.

This can't be true!

In range, he took the photo of the two of them together and smashed it to the concrete floor. Broken pieces of glass was scattered everywhere.

He walked towards the window and looked at the gloomy sky. It was going to rain.

Why brother?

His inner beast started to take over him. His eyes shone bright red. He started ripping the curtains and sheets. He smashed tables and threw them against the wall.

Why?

His instincts began to take full control of him taking away all common sense left. The animal finally broke free.

"Luhan…"

He let out a loud roar filled with anger and pain. There was no consoling him in this state. Whoever tries to come close to him will surely be ripped apart.

Kris managed to change back to his normal form after taking his anger out. He wanted his brother. It was driving him mad.

He fell down to his knees. Was he out for so long? Did he do something to make his brother rebel like this? He did everything he can for him, to protect him but why?

"Luhan… why?"

KRIS' POV

Humans are very weak.

They are selfish.

They are fragile.

USELESS.

I never dreamed to be one of them.

All they think about is themselves.

I feel so bad. Why would he choose to live a life that is full of hatred and misery? We are above them. We possess such power that they can never equal. We can control them so why would he want to be as low as them?

I look at my hand and saw the dragon that shows my true identity. We are the highest in our kind. We are aristocrats. We rule over powerful beings so why?

Why?

WHY?!

I wanted to punch him right now if that would hit some sense to him. I want to bring him back. He belongs with us. With me. We are a family. What will the council say about this? How will they react? I'm sure he will be punished or even executed. I'm so furious! I tolerated his childishness but this? This is too much…

I was very deep in my thoughts when I felt something. No, someone's presence. I started hearing footsteps in the hallway. I closed my eyes and activated my tracking skill but to my surprise, I can't identify the person.

The scent was familiar, yet foreign at the same time.

step. step. step

It's coming closer…

step. step. step

It's not Luhan…

step.

The stranger was standing behind the door now. I'm not expecting anyone to come.

Knock . Knock. Knock.

Whoever this stranger is will be damned. How dare he disturb my reverie? The door knob started to turn, and then the door slowly opened.

"Don't give me that look, Hyung…"

That voice…

It can't be.

The door fully opened and my eyes might fall out of its socket because of the shock.

This person is not supposed to be in here!
