Do you want to be ODDINARY? [H.hj x L.fl]

Remember

Felix slowly climbed down the stairs, dragging his arm along the metal wall, his anxiety level increasing with each and every step.

As he walked, he saw something from the corner of his eye. He took a very brief glance, terror filling his body as the figure glared back at him.

This caused Felix to have a surge of adrenaline and start dashing down the stairs.

He stopped in his tracks as a metal can appeared before his face, almost striking it. A loud, metallic sound followed as the can hit the metal wall and stuck to it.

Felix's eyes slowly moved from the can in front of him to the direction of which it came from.

Crunch

He heard the sound of another metal can being crushed. His view landed on a purple-haired man who had just dropped a can, similar to the one that had nearly killed the blonde.

A nasty smirk laid on his face as he held his golf club forward, pointing it at the freckled man. This implied that he was aiming for Felix.

Just as he was getting ready to hit the next can straight at Felix, he dropped his arms and began striding towards the blonde. The lights flickered with each step he took, frightening Felix as it looked like he was appearing on the spot.

Unlike Jeongin(who had done every move with force), this purple-haired man gently grabbed the metal can that was stuck on the wall and removed it.

He stayed in that position and opened his mouth.

"So, you actually survived Jeongin, huh? You seem pretty shaken up, so I'll assume that you didn't leave his territory unhinged."

He had a calm voice, surprising the blonde as his smirk would've suggested that he had a maniac-like one. His voice was similar to that of Seungmin's, just less innocent-sounding.

"What exactly is this place..?" Felix questioned.

"Hm..? Certainly you didn't enter a barren building without knowing anything about it.. did you?" a smirk formed on his face once again. "Lee Felix, you've stumbled upon something you shouldn't have, and instead of retracing your steps, you've decided to come to a point where all traces of your footsteps have disappeared."

Felix looked at the man dead in the eye. Well, he was just confused, but his glare when he's confused is similar to when one is threatening another.

"What I'm saying is that you, Lee Felix, have come to a point where the only path is to become ODDINARY. All your previous paths have been washed away."

The sentence was followed by an awkward silence, causing the man to sigh. He glared at Felix, which made the blonde tense.

I'm going to die. He thought.

"You are in the tower of ODDINARY, Lee Felix. And you're on the 2nd level."

Felix inhaled as much oxygen as he can, breathing out the same amount before he asked another question.

"A- And how many levels are there, exactly..?"

"Seven." the purple-haired man answered quickly. "In case you're mistaken, the previous level was most definitely not just 1. They were levels 6 to 3. To put it simply, you're 2 levels away from being ODDINARY, meaning you're past the halfway point."

"That means.. there's no turning back...?" Felix asked, his voice hinted with a little bit of hesitation.

"I'm afraid not, Felix."

"The only levels left are.. 7 and 1?"

The purple-haired individual nodded.

"How do you guys know my name?" Felix asked, rushing through every word.

The man did nothing more than chuckle.

"Answer me!" the blonde yelled.

"Tch, that's something I can't answer, but maybe those on the last two floors can," he nudged his club towards the path that lied in front of Felix.

"And what's your name?"

The man licked his lips before answering. "Minho."

"Who exactly are you people.. ?"

"You ask too many questions. That better be your last one or else you won't be able to explore the last two levels, Felix. Your answer is whatever you feel is coming for you."

Felix made a 'hm' sound before glaring at Minho.

"Think back to your conversation with Seungmin. If you can't remember.." Minho stepped back to the area he stood at before, dropping the can he held in his hand the entire time. "..I'll help you remember."

And he swung.
