Lost In Loving You (Seungmin Centric)

#6 First Friend

Strange things kept happening around Seungmin. At first, it seemed harmless, he’d drop items, misplace a shoe, or hear someone calling his name only to find no one there. But soon, the pranks escalated.

His frustration grew when he woke one morning to find his face covered in strange symbols, and later, his pants mysteriously had holes that weren’t there before. Sometimes, he’d trip over nothing, leaving him bruised and confused.

"Lee Know!" Seungmin snapped one day after stumbling yet again. "I know you’re behind this. Can’t you just stop already?"

Lee Know raised a brow, feigning innocence. "Me? You think I’d waste my time on childish pranks?" A smirk tugged at his lips, making Seungmin doubt if he was really the culprit. Lee Know lifted a hand to his chin, pretending to contemplate. "Maybe someone’s just playing around. I’ll handle it."

But the teasing didn’t stop. In fact, it got worse.

One night, as Seungmin lay in bed, the room was eerily quiet. He felt an icy chill creeping in, and suddenly, something yanked at his blanket, pulling him toward the edge of the bed. His heart pounded as he struggled to stay on the mattress. Just as he was about to fall, the pulling stopped. Seungmin sat up, gasping for breath, scanning the empty room.

"That’s it," he muttered, seething. "I’m done."

The next day, he stormed up to Lee Know again. "I nearly had a heart attack last night! If this is your idea of a joke, it’s gone too far."

Lee Know’s face darkened, his voice low and dangerous. "Attack? I had nothing to do with that."

Seungmin crossed his arms, unconvinced. "Then who did?"

Without a word, Lee Know turned, and called out sharply, "LEE FELIX! GET YOUR ASS HERE RIGHT NOW!"

In an instant, a glowing figure appeared in front of them. Out of the light stepped a boy with soft blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes, and pouty lips, his freckled cheeks were flushed, yet his eyes was glaring at seungmin.

Before Seungmin could react, Lee Know stepped in, hissing under his breath, "Cut it out."

Felix broke his icy glare at Seungmin, pouting as he turned to Lee Know. "Hyungie~" Felix whined, his deep voice laced with guilt. "I didn’t mean to…"

Seungmin’s eyes widened, confused. "What the hell is going on?"

Lee Know sighed, rubbing his temples. "Looks like someone is being a brat," he muttered, casting a sharp look at Felix.

"Seungmin, this is Lee Felix, my bond brother." Lee know said while gesturing at Felix.

Seungmin stood there, feeling confused. Lee Felix? He knew that name well. Felix was supposed to be one of the capture targets and the spirit who made a contract with the heroine in the game.

But how and why was Felix here, standing right in front of him? And bond brother?!?! Seungmin couldn’t understand what was going on and felt completely lost.

While Seungmin was lost in thought, Lee Know didn’t waste any time. He turned to Felix, his eyes narrowing. "So, what are you doing here? And why do you keep tormenting Seungmin?" he asked, with a firm tone. "And don’t even try to lie."

Felix shifted uncomfortably under Lee Know’s gaze, his pout deepening. "I wasn’t tormenting him!" he protested.

With that, Seungmin snapped out of his thoughts, his attention was now focused on the conversation.

"I was just... keeping an eye on him," Felix said defensively. His voice was soft, but the playful tone hid something else, something that made Seungmin feel even more unsettled. He wasn’t sure what Felix meant, but the uneasiness in his chest only grew stronger.
