The Purple Eyes | Kim Seungmin

22

Seungmin dropped off Minho, leaving just as he did the first time. He was just barely conscious as he arrived, his clothes soaked in his own blood.

A long wooden stick stuck out of his left shoulder as his arm was completely limp.

"W-what do w-we do n-noona?!?" Felix began to cry, worrying about his brother. Snapping into doctor mode, she placed two of the pages in the males mouth. "Felix, we need you to do what you can to stop the bleeding. Girls, follow me downstairs to grab what I need."

"Jeongin!"

"I'm okay!" The fox assured, getting a hold of himself after falling from a decent height.

Sujin and Moon were no where to be seen as Min and Donghyun gave it their all. Changbin had suffered from a knife wound to the leg, and Jisung was sure his wing was slightly bent from the same attack that hurt Felix. Sticking to keeping his wings hidden, his arm was broken by one of the vampires.

Finally getting the upper hand, Donghyun was knocked unconscious by Hyunjin.

Or so they thought.

They all faced Min, trying to get him to surrender as he was now outnumbered. Quickly going from freighted to laughing his ass off, the group wasn't prepared for what happened next.

"Minho.. are you okay?" Byeol quietly asked. The fight grew late into the night as Byeol moved the injured vampire down to the small hidden room in her basement as he was safest there.

The three girls had dinner as Felix and Byeol worked on trying to heal Minho, who finally woke up.

"Yeah." He raspy voice let out.

"Don't try to sit up yet, you aren't fully healed." Felix attempted, but the older did not listen. Byeol helped him do so safety, making sure he was comfortable.

"Are the others back?" He asked, taking the drink Byeol offered. He finished it in one sip.

Byeol shook her head. "Not yet. Are you hungry for anything? The girls are upstairs eating."

"No, I'm alright for now, thank you. Lix.. your wing.."

  He shook his head. "I'll be alright."

As the three downstairs continued to talk about the situation, all these girls eating dinner had tears falling down their cheeks.

"We are okay now, stop crying unnie." Airi sniffled with a laugh, wiping her eyes.

"You two are too!"

"Don't bring me into this! The air in here is just dry." Jinae insisted, turning the other way.

"I knew you'd love that dress. I'll have to put my matching purple one on." Miyu giggled, nudging her younger sister.

Suddenly changing the mood, Airi put down her chopsticks, leaning forward in her seat. "Unnie, was it scary?"

"Of course it was! I should be asking you that." Miyu rolled her eyes. Airi nodded but shrugged her shoulders. "Being in that cage made me look at life differently, that is for sure. Between witnessing so many deaths and almost accepting I was going to die.. I was only able to stay calm because of Jinae."

Miyu turned to the vampire and gave her a respectful nod. "Thank you, Jinae. I am in your debt."

"Don't mention it. I am not one who deserves-"

"Don't start with that. You saved my life, that's a fact. It doesn't matter what kind of person you were before meeting me. Only look forward from now on." Airi cut Jinae off, crossing her arms.

The three let out light giggles, Miyu finding the two quite cute together.

"Once we are all safe from those four.. you two should go out on a date."

Both girls turned tomato red, trying to defend themselves- just to look more guilty. Miyu laughed, reaching over to grab Airis hand. "Just know, I support it."

Instead of attempting to fight it, she nodded. "Thank you, unnie."

"Where is Byeol?" Bangchan slightly shouted, getting the attention of the three.

The rest of the boys were back, all looking to be in rough shape. Miyu ran up to Hyunjin, asking about the seemingly unconscious boy on his back.

Bangchan grabbed her shoulders. "Where is Byeol?!?"

"She's downstairs!!! Byeol!!!" The girl inspected Seungmins forming black eye, guilt filling her body as if it were her who did it.

Byeol and Felix came rushing into the room, almost overwhelmed with the injuries in front of her.

"His breath is slowing down, hurry!" Bangchan motioned to the boy as Byeol directed Hyunjin downstairs.

Being held back by Changbin, Miyu insisted to go down with him.

"You can't, you have to stay up here." Byeol demanded in a serious tone, Airi coming to pull her sister back.

"Let's go up to get some rest-"

"Let me go Airi! I have to-"

Airi yanked her older sister to look at her, holding her in to place. "There isn't anything you can do to help. Stay out of the way so they can do whatever they can."

Snapping out of her tantrum, Miyu realized just how much the younger matured in such a short time. She immediately hugged her, breaking down once again.

Keeping her composure, Airi rubbed Miyus back, weakly smiling back at Jinae.

"Byeol is really good at what she does. Let's hope for the best." Jeongin stated with an obvious waver in his voice.

Witnessing Seungmin, Minho, and Felix get badly injured truly scared the youngest male of the group. He tried to stay strong, however his voice failed to keep up.

Jisung swung an arm over his shoulder. "It will be okay. Let's stay positive."

  "What about you? You went down with Felix, right?"

  Jisung shook his head. "I only stopped him from hitting the ground. I wasn't hit."
