The Mystic 13

Dangerous Smiles

"Everything seems simple in the beginning."

3rd P.O.V.

After their talk with Jeongin, Vernon and Woozi went back to talk to the others. They all decided to stick together and further investigate after the first week of school. Now it was the first day and all 13 of the boys were anxious. They were all told that they would have a special class on Mondays. That's where they were now headed.

"Hyung, you don't think this is a trap do you?" Hoshi asked Seungcheol. Seungcheol shook his head as they stepped into the room. They looked around, cautiously. Vernon walked around and touched things but he couldn't get a reading off of them. Seungkwan walked over to Vernon and raised an eyebrow. He shook his head. Seungkwan sighed with a nod.

"Vernon didn't get anything, guys."

"Either something is blocking me or no one has ever been in here." Seungkwan frowned.

"You can be blocked?" Vernon shrugged.

"I'm not sure but anything is possible. I mean, we have magical powers."

"And there's someone out there that wants to murder us." Seungkwan finished his words.

"So, something or someone blocking his powers isn't completely impossible." Vernon nodded.

"I can answer that." They all turned around to the sound of someone's words. Vernon didn't recognize him from a vision. "Your powers can be blocked but that isn't the case here. Nothing in this room was here last year. That's why you aren't getting visions."

"But he was also touching the walls." Hoshi spoke.

"This part of the building was renovated in the summer."

"Oh." Seungcheol and Jeonghan stepped in front of the others. The guy smiled and sat down on the desk.

"Boys, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to teach you how to use your powers. I know that you are all confused and I can explain some things but not everything. I can tell you that this is your destiny. I can tell you that everything that ever happened to you, had a purpose. The scars, crying, pain, it was all for a reason. I cannot tell the reason, though. You have to find that out for yourselves." Jun peaked around Jeonghan a bit so that he could speak.

"We've already learned some of that." The man raised an eyebrow.

"From who?"

"From the guys before us." His eyes widen.

"That's not possible." The 13 boys frowned. It was Vernon who said the next words.

"Why? I saw them in my visions and then again in person." He shook his head.

"That's not possible because those 8 boys disappeared the night of their final fight." Minghao hummed.

"So, they are presumed dead?" He nodded.

"Well, then you never heard us mention them. If they want to be dead then they're dead." Mingyu said.

"That's not how it works." Woozi finally tried to speak up.

"That is-"

"How it works. They chose to disappear because they were tired of their worlds. They did their job. Leave them be." Hoshi finished, wrapping his arm around an anxious Woozi. The guy smiled.

"I take it, you are the soulmates. You've already kissed huh?" Woozi and Hoshi nodded. "Interesting. You've only known each other a week?" They nodded again.
