Midnight Star

10 . Truth and Lies

Seeing the white explosive light filling the café and the area around it, Jeongin knew he screwed up and Minho will be more than angry with him, he didn't like that... he didn't mean that... he never thought a memory will do that, but maybe...

"Cause I'm a healer?!" Jeongin whispered to himself watching the light grow stronger.
"But... no...I didn't even try..."
He clasped his hands over his head
"Minho is going to kill me"

Jeongin knew he has no choice anymore, now that Minho will be mad at him no matter what, then maybe asking for help isn't a bad idea... and his best option is Seungmin.

"Seung open up I need your help ..."

Jeongin kept knocking frantically at Seungmin's door hoping to be home. He didn't leave Hyunjin at the human's realm alone to find an empty house, so he kept knocking till finally the door opened.
"Innie... what's wrong?"
Seungmin looked freaked out seeing Jeongin state and quickly let him in asking too many questions with no answers in return, after a moment Jeongin sat down looking more terrified to go against Minho's words but still, he screwed up already.

"I need your help"
"With what? Of course I'll help"
Seungmin said calmly sitting down beside him trying to calm the freaked out boy
"With Hyunjin's... situation... you know.. do you?"

Seungmin stood up and turned away his back to Jeongin.
"I know you and Minho hasn't been on good terms lately. I don't know why but I know.. and I know you must have heard something.."
"I did... everyone did."

Seungmin didn't turn to look at him, not wanting him to see his anger, Jeongin isn't a part of it... yet... he thought.

"I need your help... I did something I don't know how but I did."
"Did what?"
Jeongin closed his eyes trying to calm himself.
"I gave Hyunjin a memory to make him feel less lonely but... then... I don't know how... but I felt and saw his power surging again.. but.."

Jeongin was quiet remembering how he felt that moment, he's sure of it.
"But what?"
"It wasn't."
Seungmin finally turned to Jeongin grabbing him standing him up
"Wasn't what?"
"It's like.. not Hyunjin's... it was different."
"Different?"
"I know it doesn't make sense but I know Hyunjin's ... his light is warm and soft no matter how much power he puts into it.. but that light wasn't like that... it was ... explosive.."

Seungmin let go of Jeongin and walked away angry, he knew this will happen and if it wasn't for Minho's, it wouldn't be this messy.
"Seungmin you have to help us get back Hyunjin. He needs us to fix whatever happened to him."

"Minho.."

"I know Minho is saying that he doesn't want any one's help but it's getting out of control and yes I know I'm responsible now too... but... Seungmin it's Hyunjin."

Seungmin knows it's Hyunjin and that's exactly why this is happening, Minho is selfish and greedy to want to control someone like that all to himself... seungmin knows it's Hyunjin and that's why he did all that... Seungmin knows and Jeongin doesn't know.

"Do you know what everyone says around here?"
Seungmin said quietly turning to see Jeongin face, he nodded looking a bit annoyed

"I heard when I returned from the academy... but it's not true."
Seungmin took a deep breath shaking his head slowly
"I don't want to believe it too... saying that Minho is the one behind Hyunjin's disappearance to steal his powers and have full control of it... I don't want to believe it."

"ITS NOT TRUE"
Jeongin shouted in anger
"Minho would never hurt Hyunjin... please tell me you don't believe these lies."
Seungmin shook his head again
"I don't know Innie... but think of it.."
"No.."
Jeongin turned to walk out and away not believing that their friend is actually believing these lies.
