The Purple Eyes | Kim Seungmin

"You better not let her out of your sight!!" Jinae firmly wagged a finger in Seungmins face.

"I told you, I won-"

"That's not what we want to hear." Byeol interrupted. "You will keep her safe no matter what!"

Letting out a chuckle, he nodded. "Yes ma'am."

"She's all ready to go!" Airi announced, making her sister blush as she proudly showed off her work.

"Alright, get out there while the weather is still nice." Byeol rushed, weirding the two out. They would have been lying if they didn't say everyone was acting a bit strange.

Teleporting them to a random alleyway, Seungmin scratched the nape of his neck. "I didn't want others to see us telep- just follow me."

An adorable pastel blue cafè came into view as he held the door open for her. She was quick to realize it was a cat cafè with adorable fluffy company running around.

Guiding her to a comfortable booth, a gorgeous, all grey kitty jumped onto Miyus lap.

She was taken back at first, hesitant to pet the loving kitten. She couldn't hold back a giggle as it meowed at her, pushing it's face up against her hand.

"He seems to like you."

"Animals have always been attracted to my sister and I. Now I can't help but to think it was because of this purple eye.."

Happy to have her talking, he did his best to keep it going.

"Animals are very unique creatures. It's not uncommon for them to be attracted to those who are more than human."

She let out a scoff and looked down to the kitten in her lap. "I'm not anything special. Airi, maybe. Not me."

"Why do you doubt yourself like that? You are capable of just as much as she is."

  Feeling heat rush to her cheeks, she took a sip of her cold coffee. "We are completely opposites, Airi and I."

  "Both day and night can be as equally beautiful." He broke eye contact, fidgeting after the compliment. "All I am saying is.. I uh- you are much more capable than you make yourself out to be."

  Unsure how to keep conversation going, the two finish all of the snacks and decided to walk around the nearby park.

In a comfortable silence, they continued to walk along the path and sip coffee.

- a day later

  "Alright, for the next two days.. Felix will take you through the simple balance training I've been having him do. If you feel comfortable enough after then we can go out and make sure you can fly without issues." Byeol informed.

  Felix got a bit excited, happy that his best friends wing wasn't badly damaged.

  Airi shyly got Byeols attention, unintentionally gaining all the eyes in the room. "Unnie.. can.. can you help me figure out.. just who I am?"

  She dismissed them from the rest of the group, guiding the eighteen year-old down to her workshop. Closing the door behind them, she told Airi to take a seat.

  Placing down a very old looking book, she watched the younger admire it before informing her it was her journal.

  "I took all of the notes Seungmin had written about the purple eyed twins. The only two confirmed facts about them is that they were separated from their parents at the birth of the youngest, and that the parents were killed. It's not confirmed that they are in fact twins however, it is highly speculated they look very similar but not identical."

  Airi nodded. "So..do you think there is someone out there who knows more?"

  Letting out a hum, Byeol placed a hand over hers. "Airi. May I study a bit of your blood? It may tell us something we don't know, but I cannot guarantee it."

"Uh-huh. Can we keep it between us though? I don't want to worry Miyu and- she seems to be avoiding talking about what or who we are." The girl looked down to her lap as Byeol prepared her arm to take a small blood sample.

  "Yeah, I understand why it seems like that. To be honest, I think your sister is just overwhelmed and wants to take things one at a time."

  Airi let out a sigh, biting her lip and squeezing her eyes shut as she was told to prepare for the needle. "Did that hurt?"

  She shook her head. "Hardly. Just a pinch."

  "Good. Now let me preserve this and we can head back upstairs."
