Spell (a Choi Bomin x male reader story)

Ch 11

(Talon's Pov)

I'm sitting at the kitchen table stressfully going over bills the rent having gone up quite a bit as well as having to pay for electric and groceries. Groaning in frustration I take my glasses off before letting my head thump against the table. It's quiet for a moment before I hear Raedan's footsteps and voice. "What's up?" I slowly lift my head up feeling a bit weak before putting my glasses back on. "The rents gone up and I think I need to get a job." He immediately frowns saying firmly. "You can just ask appa to up our allowance." I shake my head a little. "I don't want to keep mooching off your dad forever Raedan." He frowns a little at me. "And I don't want you to end up having to worry about finding work." I shake my head saying stubbornly. "I'm getting a job and that's final." He huffs but reluctantly backs down when suddenly my phone buzzes I grabbing it and see a message from Bomin asking if me and Raedan want to come over for a sleepover. I smile and look up at Raedan eagerly. "Hey you wanna go to a sleepover with the guys tonight?" He blinks studying me for a moment before giving a little smile. "Sure." I grin and text Bomin back an okay before I jump to my feet and rush to my room to pack a bag. Once my bag is packed I skip out of my room heading to Raedan's room seeing him grab a packed bag. "You're lucky I love you so much or I'd tell you to say no." I give him a slight look. "You seemed to be getting along with Daeyeol hyung the other day." He pauses before saying simply. "He's an okay guy. So is Sungyoon hyung." I raise an eyebrow at him when I see his cheeks tint a slight pink my eyes widening slightly. "You like one of them." He blushes even more and hides his face in his hands I immediately getting excited. "Which one do you like? Is it Daeyeol hyung? When did you even talk with Sungyoon hyung?" He gives me a slight look. "We all decided to be a group since we were the oldest." I blink then ask curiously. "Well which one of them do you like?" He groans and looks a little frustrated mumbling under his breath I immediately looking confused. "I didn't hear you." It's quiet for a while before he says a little louder sounding frustrated. "Both of them okay! I like both of them!" I stare at him surprised. "Whoa what? Both of them? Really?" He gives a little nod looking frustrated his head hanging down. Knowing he's feeling a little embarrassed and aggravated I immediately say supportively. "Well at least one of us is getting in the game." He looks at me in surprise and I just give him a loving supportive smile. "I'm not going to judge you for liking two guys. Triads and polyamorous couples are a thing." He frowns slightly. "Yeah but they would probably think I'm a freak for liking both of them." My expression softens a little. "Well take it slow and see how they react to you getting closer to both of them." He frowns but slowly nods and I give him an encouraging smile he changing the subject. "What about you and Bomin? Are you ever going to make a move?" I blush and say a little softly. "I don't think he likes me that way." Before he can say anything I say simply. "We should start heading over to the dorm." I turn and head for the front door Raedan following me as I lock up then we get in the car that was called for us. Once we arrive at the dorm I knock and Daeyeol opens the door giving us a bright smile. "Hey guys come on in." I smile back and head inside I turning to see Raedan give a little smile to Daeyeol as he enters. Smiling I turn and see everyone sitting around in a circle I making my way over to Bomin when he pats the spot beside him. I take a seat beside him and Jangjun as Raedan looks around for a spot I speaking up cheekily. "Maybe Daeyeol and Sungyoon hyung will let you sit in between them." He gives me a slight look but both men agree and make a spot for Raedan he taking the seat I noticing his cheeks barely tint pink. Smiling we all start discussing what we should do I thinking before I say cheerfully. "Raedan why don't we show them our karaoke game?" He immediately gives me a dirty look. "Let's not and say we did." I pout at him. "Aw come on!" He shakes his head no. "Every time we end up making fools of ourselves." I give him a puppy dog look and he sighs. "Alright fine." I grin and look at the others excitedly. "Okay so it's like truth or dare. If you pick truth you have to answer a question but if you pick dare you have to sing an embarrassing song the person chooses." They all look curious and I look at Raedan with a smirk. "Truth or dare?" He hesitates before saying reluctantly. "I don't trust you for truth so dare. What song?" I smile a little. "I'll go easy on you for now. I want you to sing Love like Woe by the Ready Set." He frowns but nods and I start the music for him he taking a breath before he starts singing the song. Once he's finished the guys all clap for him I smiling as he blushes when Sungyoon compliments him on his voice. He then changes the subject grabbing an empty bottle. "Okay whoever the bottle lands on is next." He carefully spins the bottle and it surprisingly lands on me I sighing as Raedan asks the dreaded question. "Truth or dare?" I frown before saying reluctantly. "Dare." He smirks and I immediately give him a look when he chooses the song. "I want you to sing and rap the song Sweetest pie by Meghan thee stallion and Dua lipa." I groan and whine. "Raedan you know that songs embarrassing. I don't want to. It's also very inappropriate." He gives me a smirk. "It's either you sing the song or do something even more embarrassing." I bite my lip before sighing. "Fine." He starts the song and I reluctantly sing and rap to it I immediately feeling my face blush bright red hiding my face feeling mortified when I have to rap the parts "I ain't never had to chase dick in my life." As soon as the song is over I glare at my best friend who's giggling. "I just had to hear you rap that part." I stick my tongue out at him before we continue the game with the guys a few of them choosing to perform embarrassing songs while most of them just choose truth. It finally gets to be my turn again I choosing truth and Daeyeol is the one to give me the question. "Is it true that you and Raedan are soulmates." I blink in confusion but me and Raedan both answer in unison. "Yes." I think I see disappointment in Bomin, Daeyeol and Sungyoon's eyes I deciding to be brutally honest. "We were assigned to be together since we were teenagers so we do consider each other to be soulmates. I couldn't live without him." Raedan nods in agreement. "If it came down to it I'd die for Talon. I'm his protector and confidant." We smile at each other then we continue on with the game until it gets late Daeyeol saying that we should all head to sleep. He looks at me and Raedan with a little smile. "Do you mind sleeping in the living room?" We shake our heads no and everyone gets up starting to head to their respective rooms while Raedan and I get sleeping bags set up. As we lay there I turn to Raedan saying softly. "What was up with that soulmate question earlier?" He shrugs. "I don't know. I don't think they understand the relationship between a witch and familiar." I frown a little. "We should probably explain then." He nods in agreement and then we both wish each other goodnight I setting my glasses aside before falling asleep immediately from exhaustion.
