Just Like Magic

102

The most awaited day had arrived. It was strange that nothing happened in the past three days, which kept everyone alert. Seungcheol was nervous and confused. He remembered when the headmaster had told them that the girls, Samuel and Hanjin would be temporary members but yet they will be now taking part on a huge day as their teammates which will permanently make them the members of their respective groups. It wasn't that he didn't want additional members. He did love having Samuel and Danbi in his team but he just wondered why did the headmaster lie to them. He was shaken out of his thoughts by a knock on their dorm room. As all the members were dead asleep since it was 4 in the morning, he frowned and wondered who it was at this hour. He slowly got out of Jeonghan's grip to make sure that he doesn't wake up. The knock grew louder and Seungcheol needed to hurry so that the light sleepers won't wake up. He hurriedly reached to the door but felt that something wasn't right. He was about to open the door but the knocking suddenly stopped

"The fuck-"

"S.Coups! Don't open the damn door!"

His wolf, Kkuma, screamed at him so he decided to go back to bed before Jeonghan woke up due to not feeling him around. He was hyper sensitive of his surroundings. He had to protect his teammates from the danger that was lurking around. At the corner of the room, something started to glow. Seungcheol was ready to shift into his wolf form as a portal opened. Jongho stepped out of the portal followed by the others, making him relax a bit

"Hyung? Did no one wake up in your room from all the loud banging?"

Jongho whispered as Seungcheol shook his head, surprising Seokjin, Bang Chan and Mingi

"But- aren't Jeonghan hyung, Hao hyung and Won hyung light sleepers?"

Mingi whispered as it surprised himself too but he shrugged it off knowing that they had stayed late to do the finishing touch of the decorations so it must have exhausted them

"Does anyone know what that banging was about?"

Seungcheol asked as everyone looked at each other. They stepped aside to show a pale Felix, making him worry

"Yongbok? What did you see when you opened the door?"

Seungcheol asked as Felix looked at him, still dazed. Minho remained silent despite being worried sick as it was not only Felix who was in this state. Seungmin was in the same condition and it did not help anyone feel at ease

"Come on. Please tell us."

Jisung whispered as he couldn't see his best friends like that. Felix looked at Minho with tears in his eyes, making Minho frown and wonder what Felix had really seen which made him like this

"H-Hyung... F-Father... H-He... He is... He is alive..."

Felix whispered as Minho could feel his world turn upside down. He froze. He remembered that the first person he killed was none other than his father. How could he be alive?

"N-No no Yongbok. You must be seeing things. It's probably because of that incident a week ago. H-He can't be alive... H-He is dead- I killed him w-with my own hands-"

Minho felt like he was going insane. There was no possible way that King Lee was alive. Not after the massacre he did of his own kingdom

"He isn't seeing things damn it!"

Seungmin exclaimed as he made his way towards Minho angrily before slapping him, making him realize that it was the truth. He held the cheek that had been slapped and looked up at Felix with eyes wide in horror and then at Seungmin. Bang Chan tried to hold Seungmin back but it was like something inside him just snapped

"There is someone fucking betraying us! Don't you understand?!"

Seungmin lashed out, grabbing Minho by the collar as the others intervened. Now there were 5 people holding the hot headed mind manipulator while some of the others comforted Minho and Felix

"Seungmin! This is not you!"

Jongho exclaimed as that woke some of the Seventeen members up, making Seungcheol sigh

"What's going on?..."

Jeonghan mumbled as he rubbed his eyes and felt that Seungcheol was not next to him, making him jolt up and look around for Seungcheol to find him standing not far from the bed while there were other figures he couldn't make out due to the room being dimly lit

"Hyung? What's happening?"

Chan asked as he straight up got off the bed and looked at the commotion that was going on. He created a fireball and let it float up in the air. Slowly everyone started to wake up to the eerily silent room after the loud commotion. Seungmin had calmed down by then and hung his head in shame for his actions earlier. Felix had fallen asleep in Changbin's embrace while Minho looked at Seungmin with a sad smile

"Are you all just gonna stand there or is someone going to explain. If not then Wonwoo hyung will-"

"No! Please no!"

Mingi exclaimed as he was shaking from the things that had occurred in the span of 20 minutes suddenly. He was still processing it because what Felix had said and what Minho had said made absolutely no sense in his accord. Yunho held him close and helped him calm down from the upcoming anxiety attack he was about to have

"Okay Mingi, name me 3 things you see, 3 sounds you hear and 3 body parts you can move."

Jihoon stated as he got up from his bed and headed towards Mingi to help him calm down from the overwhelming events

"I can see... y-you... a bed and... a-and the f-fireball... I can hear y-you... Felix's s-soft snores and Y-Yuyu's heartbeat... I can m-move my hands... legs a-and mouth..."

Mingi finished as Jihoon smiled softly and patted Mingi's head gently

"Good. Feeling better?"

Jihoon asked as Mingi nodded and took some deep breaths. Chan snapped his fingers, making the fireball more brighter so that they can see each other properly

"You know what? Wonwoo just do it."
