✔️My Magical Stranger// GeminiFourth, FirstKhaotung

*44* New vampire

When Fourth and Gemini were going to breakfast the next morning, they immediately noticed that something was not as usual.  Passing by Joong and Dunk's room, they heard Joong singing indistinctly in English while playing his guitar.  Gem signaled Fourth with his hand and they both approached the door and, as quietly as they could, so as not to draw attention to themselves, opened the slightly ajar door wider.

They saw Joong sitting with his back to the entrance on a chair with a guitar on his lap.  There were still remnants from the previous evening around him, which he had no desire or strength to clean up.  Pieces of glass, torn photos, and beer cans were strewn across the floor.  The room looked like a tornado had gone through it.  The bedding, instead of on the bed, lay partly on a nearby matching chair with black frames and a dark blue back and seat, and partly on the floor.  Someone broke a window in the window.  Dunk's clothes had been cut up with scissors and scattered around, and there were spray-painted blood-red signs on the wall, one of which read "But I still love you."

Gem and Fourth exchanged horrified looks.

“What happened here?” Fourth asked quietly, and Gem only shook his head in response.  They didn't know.  They couldn't even guess.

“I don't know?  Maybe something attacked them?”

“If so, should we tell the boss?  P'Zee will know what to do”. Gem suggested, but something touched him and he decided to listen to the words sung in a slurred voice.  He quickly noticed that Archen was singing his own version of world-famous hits.  Each sentence seemed to come from a different song.

“We're just two ghosts, standing in the place of you and me
Trying to remember how it feels
To have a heartbeat
But these high walls, they came up short,
Now I stand taller than them all
In this world it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was"

“What is he singing?”  Gem quietly asked Fourth a question.

“I don't know, the words seem familiar, but I can't remember anything.  Wait... wait...!  Look at him.”

Fourth pointed his hand at Joong, who stopped singing, raised another can of beer to his mouth and took a mighty gulp.

“It wasn't an attack, was it?  Chen looks like someone with a broken heart to me”. Fourth guessed right.

“But by whom? Not because of my brother?”

“Was he in a relationship with someone else? In my opinion, only Dunk could have made him feel like this, and we both know that Chen is a tough guy who doesn't allow himself to show his emotions unnecessarily.”

“Yeah,” Gem nodded curtly.

“What should we do?”

“Hmmm... I don't know, maybe we should try to talk to him?”

“I'm not sure if that will do any good.  Look, he's quite drunk.”

As soon as Gemini finished saying that sentence, Joong suddenly got up from the chair and threw the guitar with all his might, destroying it completely when it collided with a shelf full of figurines of angels and elephants with trunks of various sizes and colors raised up.

“Look at his hands! They're all mangled!  We can't leave him alone”. Decided Fourth and opened the door to the full width.  He was ready to face Joong, he was ready to fight him if need be.  Archen's state reminded him too much of what had happened to First.  He couldn't allow it.

“Joong?”  he asked, touching his arm.  Archen spun around, but he did so too abruptly and his head spun.  He staggered and fell straight on the scraps of clothes, shards of glass and fragments of photos scattered on the floor.
