Alexa, play Crazy for You by Best Coast
~ Jisung's POV ~
I arrived to class barely on time this time. I'll have to start leaving earlier if I'm going to fuck around before school. I sat next to my friends, Felix wasn't there yet. I also noticed Hyunjin wasn't at school today. "I wonder if he's sick?" I said to no one in particular. "Maybe he's sick of looking at your face," Seungmin said. I glared at him. He shrugged, "What? Just guessing."
Felix showed up at lunch time. He was waiting outside my class before heading to the cafeteria. "Where were you?! Wait, don't tell me. Secret?" Felix nodded. "Right... Oh! Felix, what the fuck do I do about this?!" I pulled out the letter from my backpack and showed him, only to be met with a shocked face. "You... got one of those?" "What do you mean one of those? You knew about it?" "Y-Yeah... I did." I sighed. "Lee Felix, sometimes I feel like you have a whole secret life you don't tell me about." I saw his expression change when I said that, but left it alone.
"Well... What should I do? I can't just skip it, can I?" "No." Felix said firmly. "You can't skip it. They'll come looking for you either way. Look, just.... Ugh. I need time to think. When do you have to go?" "Next week." "Okay, then we have time to think of a plan, if we can." "Yeah... I really don't want to be a weapon of war." "I don't want you to, either. I swore to protect you. I don't know how much I'll be of use if you'll be on a battlefield... Fuck, I gotta go. I'll be back at home later." He was about to start walking but he turned around and hugged me. "Please be safe." I looked at him confused, "Y-Yeah... you too..."
It was after school now, and I was still a little shook up about what Felix said. But, maybe visiting Minho's castle would help take my mind off of it. "Wait..." I just realized we didn't even talk about where we would meet up. I facepalmed as I walked out of the school's gates. I turned the corner to see purple-haired Minho standing there, startling me. "Jeez!" "Ready?" I let out a breath and nodded. He took my hand and we walked to... an abandoned building?
I looked at him confused, which he must have found amusing as he began laughing. "Don't laugh! THIS is your castle?" He shook his head. "No, my dear. This is just an entrance." "Entrance? Wha-" I saw him take a key, putting it into the keyhole and turning the key, which triggered something to occur as I heard a switch go off and suddenly, he opened the door, revealing the inside of his castle. "Please, come in," he motioned as he stood inside the castle.
With my mouth agape, I walked into the castle, which really wasn't a castle at all, but I mean if you want to call it that then be my guest. It was still really cool, nonetheless. He closed the door behind me, triggering another switch to go off. I turned around to see the door was now different, it was wooden and had glass design which allowed me to see outside. "Wha- Where are we?" "Oh? Curious, are you?" He smiled and opened the door again, revealing that we were actually on the top of a mountain. I gasped, clinging onto him as I felt a type of elevation sickness or something. He chuckled and held onto me. "It's okay, dear. We won't fall. Lucifer is holding us steady. Right, Lucifer?" I furrowed my brows, who the hell is he talking to?
Suddenly, I heard the flame talking, speaking in Latin. I spoke back to it, which startled Minho. "You know Latin? I don't even speak the language fluently!" he said, excitedly. I blushed and laughed nervously, "It's nothing~" I walked around his castle, looking around, it wasn't much of a marvelous sight. I expected him to live in luxury and grandiosity, but he lived rather modestly (think Howl's castle). On the left was the fireplace, where Lucifer was seated, a sink and place to put the dishes, an antique looking china-cabinet, pots and pans. On the right side, there was a table with chairs, a wardrobe that had books piled onto it. The stairs were straight ahead. I had to admit, it was rather cozy and cute. I could see myself living somewhere like this.
