Play With Fire

Changbin's POV:

"Why are we down here Changbin?" Chan asked me. "You all know how my soulmate is human and he works at that cafe that I talk about a lot?" I asked them. "Yeah. What about it?" Seungmin asked. "Let me first tell you the names of my boyfriend and his friends so that way I can talk about this easier." I say. I look to see that I have the attention of the other four in the room. "So, in age order, Minho is first. He's the oldest of the four of them, but he was the last one to join their friend group. He met one of their friends at college before they both dropped out. He is 25 years old, and his birthday was just four days ago." I start to say, explaining Minho. "Even though he's the oldest of the four, he definitely acts like the youngest." After I finished talking about Minho, I looked to see that my four friends actually seemed intrigued to learn about my boyfriend and his friends. Even Hyunjin and Felix seemed interested. "Are they all humans?" Felix asked me. I nodded my head. "They are." I confirmed. I see Hyunjin and Felix kind of tense up a bit at that. They really didn't like humans. "Why don't you talk about the other three?" Chan suggested. I hummed before talking about Y/n next. "The second oldest is named Y/n and she's 23 but she'll be 24 in December." I say. "She was the one who met Minho at college before they both dropped out. She is also the reason that the friend group is there." I say. Hyunjin speaks up. "She's the one who brought the friend group together?" He asked me. I swear I could hear in his tone that he found her interesting. "Yup. She was friends with my boyfriend since they were kids. She met Minho in college, and then she met their other friend in middle school." I say. Hyunjin just nods his head before I continued speaking. "She's the owner of the cafe they all work at, and she puts everyone else before here, especially when she and the other three are at work." I finished talking about her. I see Felix and Hyunjin talking to each other quietly. "The next oldest is my boyfriend, Han." I say excitedly. "Han?" I hear Seungmin asked. "Well, that's what everyone calls him. Han is his last name, but he uses it as if it's his first name. His first name is Jisung though." I explained. "Oh okay." Seungmin says. "Han is 23 years old and the second youngest of the friend group. Like I said earlier, he and Y/n have been friends since they were kids. It was their dream to open up a cafe from when they were young, and he is the co-owner of their cafe." I explained before laughing. "We all call him a squirrel because he has very chubby cheeks and his cheeks kind of puff out when he eats like how a squirrel stores its food." I added on. I hear some laughing from the others. "A squirrel?" Hyunjin asked while laughing slightly. I nodded my head. "Oh, one hundred percent. I should show you all a picture of him later." I offered. "Who's the last friend?" Chan asks. "Oh right! I can't forget about I.N. He'd lose his mind if he found out that I forgot to mention him." I said before making a face. "I.N is just a nickname I'm assuming. Just like Han's, right?" Felix asked me. I nodded my head in agreement. "I.N's first name is Jeongin, but we all either call him I.N or Innie. We just usually call him I.N though." I explained to the four of them. "He's the baby of their group at 22 years old. He met Y/n and Han in their middle school and have been friends ever since. His eyes remind" us of a fennec fox." I added on. "So, what years does that make each of them born in?" Seungmin questions. "Minho is 1998, Y/n is 1999, Han is 2000, and I.N is 2001."

Felix's POV:

"So why are you telling us about them?" I asked Changbin. I watch as he has a moment of realization. "Oh right. Y/n offered for you guys to come with me to the cafe in two days when it rains again." He told the four of us. "What?" Hyunjin asked him. I put my legs over top of Hyunjin's before slouching down a bit. "Yep. She offered we all show up an hour before they close, which is usually 7 pm and she said we could chill with them after they closed the cafe." Changbin explains to us. "That sounds like a fun idea. And the fact she offered for us to come on a day it was raining so we don't really need to cover up much." Chan said. "Like I said, she puts everyone else's needs before hers." Changbin mentions. "Do we have to go?" I asked annoyed. "I really don't want to be around humans." I added. "Same here. I'd rather stay in the house than go out and spend time with humans." Hyunjin agrees. I see Changbin roll his eyes at us. "Actually, you do." Chan says. "What? Why?" I asked annoyed. "Because you two never get out of the house, and she was even considerate enough to offer us to her cafe on a day where we don't need to worry about covering up more because of the sun. So yes, Felix and Hyunjin, you are going. And if you don't there will be issues." Chan threatens us. It was quiet for a few minutes before Seungmin spoke up. "I'm honestly excited to meet them. Changbin always talks so highly about his boyfriend, so I'm excited to meet his soulmate and his friends." Seungmin says. "Y/n even said that if any of us give her any issues she'd kick the ones that were giving her issues out." Changbin says before staring directly at me and Hyunjin while he said that. "Where are we even going after their store closes to get to know them?" Hyunjin asked. "They stay at the cafe for a few hours after it closes. The house that they share is down the road from the cafe, so they stay there as long as they like. So, we would be hanging out at the cafe. Plus, they smoke at their shop after the cafe closes." Changbin tells us. "Smoke?" Chan questions. "Yup. The four of them smoke weed. After most shifts, they gather around the same booth that they have for four years and either pass around a joint or smoke one each individually." After Changbin says this, he, Seungmin and Chan keep talking about the humans. Me and Hyunjin sneak upstairs into our room and flop onto the bed. 

Hyunjin's POV:

"You feel that too?" Felix asks me. I nodded my head. "Whatever piece of us that we are missing, feels closer than ever." I bring up. "What do you think it is?" Felix asks nervously. I pulled him towards me and started to cuddle him. "I'm not sure. But what I do know is that no matter what, we will get through this together." I reassure him. "Do you ever wonder if us vampires could have more than one soulmate?" I hear Felix ask. "Of course. You know that Jungwon, Jay and Sunoo are all soulmates with one another, and they work out perfectly together." I bring up. There was a silence for a moment. "Do you think that our missing piece might be another soulmate?" Felix asks. I hummed. I had been thinking the same thing lately. "I mean, there is the possibility of it, but unless we both agree that the hypothetical "other soulmate" is someone we want in our life, we don't have to progress the relationship with that person." I explained. "Would you be mad, if we have another soulmate, and I wanted them to be with us?" He asked. I shook my head. "Absolutely not. If I also like them, I have no problem with them joining us."
