0.12: Good Lil' Boy

SOOBIN POV

I was last to be brought to my dorm. Beomgyu being dropped off long before I was. It seemed that my father wished to talk with me more. My father wasn't the warmest person in my eyes. I actually wished to avoid this conversation all together. 

"It isn't an act, Headmaster...", I responded as I got stares & glances from those around in the hallway. It was exposed. I was the son of the Headmaster. No much else was said before I disappeared into House Lycan' dormitory. 

This is when things go a little odd...

A mysterious voice fueled my anger a bit. "사랑하는 늙은 아빠랑 문제가 있는 거죠?" (Having issues with dear old dad, are we ?) I looked around, but couldn't find a single person talking to him. Was I losing my mind ? "W-what ? Who are you ? Where are you ?" The mysterious voice seemed calm. Too calm. 

"That is what you wanted to ask me ? I am disappointed, Soobin ah." I was absolutely confused. What was the reason this supposed voice wished to speak with me ? "그냥 나 좀 혼자 내버려둘 수 없어요? 말씀하고 싶지 않아요." (Can you just leave me alone ? I don't want to talk.) So my first option was avoiding all conversation with they odd voice. The voice seemed just downright calm, but its voice took on a darker tone. "What if I can offer some sort of incentive to you, Soobin ah ?" 

It would be a lie if I said wasn't intrigued. Not to mention how I felt currently since his conversation with my father. "What were you going to ask of me then ?" Now we were talking business. "Go to the Lake Of Mist at midnight. That is all I ask for now."

This immediately got me thinking. What could going to the lake offer him in return ? "Are you the reason I fainted earlier ? What are you going to do to me this time ?" The voice seemed entirely impressed that it manage to get some sliver of trust out of me, "긴장 푸세요. 날 믿을 수 있어요?" (Just relax. Can you trust me ?) 

There was no time to back out or refuse now. I was entirely consumed by the anger I felt for my father. And it wasn't like I got inherently bad vibes from this odd voice I was hearing. It was now or never. "I...I trust you..."

Just like that I was out cold, & my floating unconscious body floated itself to the hospital wing of the institute once more.

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

When I woke up next, I was fairly calm. I had more of a gist of what was happening without all of the details. All I knew was that I needed to be at the Lake Of Mist at midnight. 

I trusted the voice. I trusted that whatever was going to happen was to happen that way. The voice didn't seem bad at all. At least not to me. I caught Taehyun looking at me before I was suddenly pushed headfirst into the lake. 

I welcomed the darkness...
