Kim Hyeon's POV

Demon Prince exists? That's the first thing that came to my mind the moment I heard Jongin's sentence. I kept my eyes at him.  "Don't joke with me, because it's not funny." I muttered under my breath. He still gazes at me deeply. His eyes told me that he was serious.

I sighed and threw myself on the bed. Still not believing what he said. "You need to understand, Hyeon-ah. We're against the Demon Prince here, and he's not alone." I gasped at his words.

"Then..there are more than one demon we're facing here?" I can't think straight. Things are more out of hand than I thought.

"You've met the other 2 demons."

The other 2? I tried to remember. I don't think I saw any demonic appearances before. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"ChanBaek. Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun. Your classmates. Why did you think they read your mind? Because they DID read your mind." He put pressure on that one word. I remained speechless with my mouth opened wide. So I wasn't hallucinating?

"Then what am I supposed to do with those two?" I said nervously at him. To be honest, I'm in a panic state right now. How am I supposed to be okay after knowing the handsome guys beside me are demons?! Looks can lie, really.

"They are only pawns. They don't have the same skills as the Demon Prince. They can only read minds. Their demonic strength awakens at night, so you better don't stay with them when it's starting to get dark." I froze in place. Imagining what they could have done to me if I were to be caught with them. Cold sweats wets my face, Jongin put my bangs behind my ear and cupped my face. "I'll protect you."

I hugged him tightly. Hugging him makes me feel safe. He's a dumb brother, but his protective side is what I love. He can be a pabo dark brother sometimes, but right now he's my prince charming.

"Go take a bath and come downstairs. Kyungsoo is preparing dinner right now." He patted my head before he leave the room. I quickly get in the bath and wash myself. I put on my sweatpants and a graphic rilakkuma tee then went downstairs.

I saw Kyungsoo in the kitchen alone, he's preparing dinner right now. I approached him. He suddenly turns back and stare at me with his owl-like eyes. "Oh, you're here." I went beside him. "Do you need a help oppa?" "Sure. You can just chop the leeks. Don't chop your fingers." He pointed towards the cutting board. I started cutting the leeks. I guess Kyungsoo was worried about me. I caught him taking glances at me several times now. I'm pretty confident with my cooking, I used to cook with my mom when I was younger, but as time goes by, I'm just getting lazier everyday and one day I just stopped cooking with my mom.

"You are sooo bad at this game, Kris!"
"Shut up, you were just lucky. Prepare yourself, Tao." I turned behind me and I saw 9 grown up men playing Spongebob Car Racing.

"I bet Kyungsoo's underwear that Tao is going to win this round, too!" Chen shouted with passion. I looked at Kyungsoo and he gave off a murderous aura.

He took my knife and threw it to Chen's direction. The knife stabbed the wall, almost hitting Chen's forehead. Everyone turned silent and stare back at me and Kyungsoo. "What did you said just now Chen? I didn't heard it clearly." Kyungsoo said with a smile that...doesn't really look that genuine. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing." Chen said with a crooked smile.

I think I've found the assassin...

After some time, the dinner is ready and the table is set up. We take our seats and Jongin sits beside me. I look around and found one person missing. "Hey, Jongin, where's Sehun oppa?" I whispered to him. "Why are you looking for him? He'll come down soon." He whispered back. I wonder where he is. I missed my chance to talk to Sehun oppa back there. I shouldn't had fallen asleep back then, I could've dig more information about him.

I started digging into my food. As expected of my cooking. It's pretty bad.. But, Kyungsoo's cooking is daebak. Well he definitely had the knife skills..

I heard the sound of a creaking door upstairs, my gaze went to the stairs. Is it Sehun oppa? Is he coming down?

And just as I expected, it is Sehun oppa. He came down with his white bathrobe and a towel on his head. His body is still a little bit wet. I can smell the soap he just used. "He has a habit of taking a bath before dinner. And I still don't know why he eats dinner wearing his bathrobe." Jongin whispered to me. It would be inaudible if he didn't said it on my ears. My cheeks turn into huge red tomatoes as my eyes follow his every movements. I could see his broad shoulders, his defined chest. And I caught a glimpse of his ni..nip..ple... I shouldn't think about this stuff. Why am I getting perverted like Jongin?

"Oh, Hyeon-ah, you're awake. Feeling better?" He asked me with his cute smile. I can feel my heart throbbing faster than ever. His smile gave me life. "Definitely. Sorry for before, I must've been really heavy."

"You're as heavy as a feather. Don't mind it." He said as he taken his seat beside me. He held my shoulder and he brushed my hair on one side of my shoulder. I tried so hard to focus back on my food.

"By the way, welcome to the dorm, Hyeon-ah." Suho said with a bright smile. "Welcome, Hyeon-ah. Hope you can enjoy your stay here" Luhan said. "Ah yeah, we haven't welcome you here. Welcome to the kingdom, Hyeon-ah!" Chen said with excitement. I chuckled a bit because he was too excited. If excitement can create fire, he would've burned the dorm down.

The others also said their welcome greetings. "Thanks, oppas. I appreciate it." I smiled back at them. They are so kind to me so far. I can't believe one of them is an assassin. A cold blooded assassin.

"Why are you calling them oppa?" Jongin suddenly said. He pricked the carrot on his plate with a fork. "Because .. they're older than me?" "What are you talking about? Tao is the same age as you." Tao nodded. "Well I don't mind if you still want to call me oppa." Tao grinned at me.

"You wish, Tao." Jongin said coldly at him.

"Why are you like that Jongin?" I asked him. He's too cold to his friend. Maybe he has a lot of problems today.

"See what you did there?"

"Eh? What did I do?" He sighed and pricked his broccoli.

"You called the others as 'oppa' but you call your real, biological oppa as 'Jongin'" he looked at me in the eyes. Frustration painted his face. I should be worried but instead, I laughed my ass off hearing his complain.

"So you want me to call you 'oppa' then?" I smirked at him. Jongin seems like a teasing material tonight. I laughed in my mind. He's so cute when he is jealous.

"Fine, oppa. You happy now?" I said with a chuckle. A smile bloomed on his face. He looked so happy with just a simple thing like that.

"Happy." he grinned.

We continued dinner with a little conversation after that.

After dinner, I slouched on the sofa with Jongin oppa. I twisted my hair and rest my head on his lap. He poked my forehead with his index finger. "Why are you spacing out. What are you thinking about?" I look at him in the eyes. "Oppa.. who's the assassin?"

He looked at me. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because I have the right to know. I mean, I'm staying with an assassin here. I need to have some know-hows." He laughed at me. He laughed too much that his stomach hurts.

"Know-hows? Why? You won't need any! He won't hurt you." He wipes his tears. Seriously. He cried because of laughing. "Then tell me who! You're making me die of curiosity now!" I hit his chest several times.

"The assassin is..." He closed on to me. His face was so close to mine I can feel his warm breathing against my nose. He moved to the side of my right ear and whispered.
