Nova's POV
School ended rather quickly when Thalia had basically just ran out to who knows where, still looking rather down. I was a bit conflicted if I should follow her but figured she would need some time for her own and besides — I had to return the rings to the three local vampires of our city.
Still walking with Changbin who still refused to leave my side till the others were able to step outside again, we stopped in our tracks when we saw a familiar figure standing near the entrance of the school, looking directly at us when the male to my side and I just shared a short glance before warily walking over to Minho.
He was probably the most silent one till now, not really doing much except for that one time when I first crossed paths with him.
Standing in front of the male, he stood properly after being leaned against the wall with his back, hesitating a moment when the last student in the area had left the building. "I have something to tell you" he spoke, Changbin narrowing his eyes when the vampire — or werewolf, I wasn't so sure — had his eyes fixated on my own.
"What is it?"
"Don't consider me as an ally or anything, but I feel like you should know this," he exhaled, closing his eyes for a second before proceeding, "being around not only Hyunjin but also Chan is a dangerous game. You probably don't know it, but there was a girl long ago who both of them adored very much — they would have given their lives for her safety and as you can see, they did" he explained, my attention solely on him as I wanted to hear his next words, not really knowing how anything of this could affect me.
"The thing is, that she looked a lot like you. No, screw that, she looked exactly like you, in any way possible. That is probably the reason why Chan got so close to you to begin with, and it could cause a bit more problems in the future if you aren't careful enough" he spoke, the dots connecting in my mind when I remembered the time I was told to look very similar to an old friend of the three — being the reason why they were so shocked upon seeing me.
It made sense.
"What about Jisung and Jeongin?" I hesitantly asked, wondering if they also actually knew her or not for that I knew they were younger than the other two.
"They didn't knew her in person. Just seeing photos and hearing stories, that's all" he reasoned when I nodded at the answer, pursing my lips when a million thoughts crushed my mind, although just a single question was left for me to ask.
"Why exactly are you telling me this?"
Breathing in, the male averted his eyes, still not looking that amused and rather bored like how I usually saw him — though I felt like he wanted to express much more emotions at all times. "If you believe me or not is nothing I care about, but I don't want these idiots to drag innocent people into their mess just because they couldn't control their cravings. Don't interpret anything into this"
Oh and how I interpret things into it. A soft smile rose on my lips when I knew damn well that he was looking out for his friends. Not much for me, but oh well, I could care less. I was pretty sure that Minho was just a big softy with cold and thick armor — something that people of his species probably needed more than anyone else.
„Fine then. But still — thank you" I mouthed, the male nodding his head before leaving the building without another comment.
"...what do you plan on doing now?" Changbin asked, probably thinking about this newfound information more than I did.
Humming, I pondered for a moment before turning to the male, shrugging my shoulders, "I guess Chan has some explanation to do" I spoke, tone rather calm despite the new infos just starting to properly sink in.
So Chan had a fat crush on someone who looked the same as me? What kind of Inuyasha cover is this?
❝ But everything is going to be okay ❞
"Nova in the building~" I chimed when I practically slammed open the door of the boys mansion, my cheerful expression faltering for a second when I hissed at how I could basically just have burned one of the vampires to ashes if they would've been standing at the door, what caused me to quickly close it behind me again.
The info I got from Minho was not exactly leaving me with the bitter feeling that it probably should've left, solely because I wanted to hear Chan's point of view first before either sulking or laughing. That depends. Maybe also both.
"Nova!" Jisung rushed to the door, a relieved expression on his face when then a grin took over, seeing how I held out the rings for him to take, "ahh, I was worried" he spoke, putting the jewelry on his finger and examining it as if it was the first time wearing the ring.
"That you wouldn't get your ring back or that I'd be killed?"
"Hm... both"
Within a moment, Jeongin and Chan stood in front of me as well, greeting me happily and asking for my well-being when I handed them the items they so desperately wanted back and assured that no one got hurt.
"By the way, Chan, we kinda need to talk" I exclaimed, seeing the male's confused look and mentioned him over to the couch to sit down as if it was my house we were in.
Jisung ans Jeongin Exchanged glances but decided to leave the two of us alone, thanking me again for getting the rings back before stepping out of the room. Not that it would do much anyways for that they could literally hear a leaf falling to the ground in Peru, but hey, at least they tried to give us some privacy.
I didn't exactly knew how to begin that conversation, rubbing my hands together and analyzing the fancy furniture in the room before finding the words I had searched for. "Soo, you know, I heard about a certain girl very long ago, who kinda looked similar to me?" It rather sounded like a question than a statement when the Vampire however froze in place after hearing this, eyes dropping to the ground for a moment.
"...How did you find out?"
"I have my contacts. Besides, Jeongin said before that my appearance was similar to an old friend," I explained, not wanting to expose Minho immediately, "but I wanted to hear it from you"
"Ah, well, here we go again with the explanations I guess"
❝ Your life is in shambles and your house is on fire ❞
