hyunli didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. she stared at the people in front of her, shocked.

"prove it to me. prove that i'm not human." she said, as the teenager who sat next to her laughed.

"we don't need to. a human can't see the house, it appears as a graveyard to them. besides, your father isn't human. your mum is half a human." he said, as hyunli's eyes widened at the news. "actually, you're still a quarter human, with the other half of your bloodline being..."

vampire.

"...vampire." his word echoed her thoughts. "but for some reason you look more like a human than a vampire. is it because the blood ceremony hasn't been done yet?" he muttered the last sentence to himself, his sharp jawline tightening. "should we prepare for it?"

"sunoo hyung, move away." the teenager who hushed everyone earlier said, moving to at teenager with fox-like eyes and waved his hands dismissively, as the latter scowled at him.

"you can always sit on the floor, sunghoon hyung." the teenager said, irritated. niki smirked, moving away from the dresser and sitting on the bed. "you're so grouchy today, ddeonu."

"ddeonu?" hyunli repeated, distracted. her eyes landed on sunoo, who clicked his tongue and scowled in annoyance. "great. he is using my body to do shit again. my name is kim sunoo, not kim ddeonu. that little boy you saw, he is a little... complication after i use my powers." he said coldly, glaring at sunghoon.

"she's scared of me." sunghoon caught hyunli's eye and shrugged. "i can read minds. literally."

the door flung open. a teenager, his clothes spotted with dirt and his hair in a mess entered the room carrying a tray. "here's the herbs. i think she'll- oh, she's awake!" his eyes lit up at the sight of hyunli sitting up. "are you feeling alright?"

hyunli was about to reply a soft 'yes' when the teenager sat next to her suddenly disappeared with a soft 'pop'. she held her chest, almost being scared to death. her eyes widened, her brain trying to progress what just happened.

"where did... did he just..." she stuttered, her eyes still side due to shock.

"teleported? yeah, he did." niki said, bored. "thats's jay hyung's power. teleportation. well, you said you wanted proof, so he went to get the proof."

"are you getting near future sights, niki?" the other teenager who has been quiet the whole time said. he swept his brown hair out of his eyes and he avoided hyunli's dark chocolate ones.

"it's just a framed picture." niki muttered, and soon enough, jay appeared back with another small "pop", holding a large, framed portrait.

hyunli's heart sank. the portrait consist of two people - a handsome man standing proudly, his hand on the shoulder of the heavily pregnant woman sitting next to him. they were looking lovingly at each other, and the woman's hand held her round belly, protective of it.

eomma.

hyunli feel the tears brimming up in her eyes and she swallowed. it was eomma. her eyes traced the features of her mother, and slowly glided over to the man next to her.

"this is... kim taehyung..." she muttered.

different from his charming demeanour in the portrait at the entry hall, kim taehyung's eyes were gentle, his features softer.

there was a slanted and familiar handwriting written in red ink on the bottom corner of the frame.

for taehyung hyung and eun noona, and for taeeun, my unborn goddaughter. j.jk, 1849.

jeon jungkook. the man who was trying not to laugh.

but no, something is wrong. "how can eomma be pregnant over two hundred years ago? that's absurd! besides, im only twenty one years old!" hyunli felt her sanity going down. everything feels unreal to her.

maybe this is her own truman's show, and here are hidden cameras around here capturing her reaction—

"you think too much, ms hyunli. everything is as real as you are. besides, you have already witnessed jay hyung's teleportation power. what makes you think that we don't have the power to manipulate memories as well?" sunghoon sighed. there was a hint of pity in his voice.

"i remember the day you were born." the brown haired teenager said, grinning. "two centuries ago. on a full moon. the entire place was in chaos, heeseung hyung accidentally overgrow the plants and sunghoon set half of the waiting room on ice."

"you almost dropped her when noona let you carry her, jake. you're nowhere better." sunghoon snapped back, as jake stuck his tongue out at him childishly. "taehyung hyung banned him from carrying you. you should have seen the look on his face." he turned to hyunli.

carry me? two hundred years ago? i was born two hundred years ago? didn't my body grow? what happened-

sunghoon rubbed his nose. "you have a lot of questions, ms hyunli."

"stop reading my mind!" hyunli glared at him. on the couch, sunoo snickered. "you can block him from doing that after the blood ceremony. when you finally activate your other side."

"what if i don't want to become one of you?"

the room went silent. hyunli shuffled, slightly uncomfortable from the intense stares she was getting. then the teenager with the dirty clothes spoke.

"if you don't, you will die." his voice was light. "you have surpressed the bloodline for many years. if you don't activate it sooner, you'll die."

"well, we just have to get your memory back. where's jungwon?" jake changed the subject quickly, as hyunli's eyebrows intertwined at the mention of the name. jay turned to the others. "i'll go get him. before that, shall we introduce ourselves?" he placed the frame down carefully in the ground and smiled at hyunli. 

"the name's jay. i can teleport." he snapped his fingers and was gone in a second, leaving the other five in the room with hyunli. 

"i'm niki, as you already know. " niki was next, running a hand up his blond hair. "i can see into the future."

"i'm heeseung. i have a gift with plants." heeseung smiled at hyunli. "that's sunoo, he shapeshifts and has the ability to talk to animals. and sunghoon, who can read minds and have the elemental ability of ice."

"i'm jake, and i'm gifted with the elemental powers of fire." jake said eagerly, setting his hand on fire to show hyunli. 

jay. heeseung. niki. sunghoon. sunoo. jake.

"and jungwon?"
