The IT Hunter [Exo Fanfic]

Nighttime

The twelve boys focused their attention on me as I spoke. Everything Jimin told me about the Organization, I told Exo. Their reaction to the truth about the Organization wasn't as intense as mine, mainly because they had always known about the Organization's cruel nature. However, when I told them about Jimin's request of my help, they were more startled than ever.

Kris jumped out of his seat, wide eyed. "If helping him means you are leaving us, then no way in hell am I letting you go!"

I was surprised by how protective the seemingly cold leader had gotten overtime. Although he had always acted like he didn't care, I knew that he worried a lot about me. I shrugged with a smile and held my hands up in defeat. I was also debating whether I should join Jimin or not.

Chanyeol was the next one to speak. "I'm not going to act as stubborn as Kris, but I really don't think you should leave. It's finally getting peaceful again, and you have yourself completely under control. We really want to show you the fun this world has to offer."

"He is right," Kai added. "Don't forget we are still bounded by soul. We should spend time with each other and get to know each other better."

The gears in my mind churned. I considered what they said and weighed the possible decisions in my head. It would be nice to spend some recreational time with Exo and get to know them more, but at the same time, Jimin desired my help to fight against the Organization.

Luhan flashed an assuring smile. "Abi, take some time to think about it. Also, your decision doesn't have to be black and white. Remember to respect your own happiness."

I looked at him, grateful for his kind words. "Alright, thank you."

It was getting late. I headed to bed after washing up. In my room, everything was in complete silence except for the faint buzz of the electricity around the house. When I listened closely, I was able to make out the soft breathing sounds of the other boys.

I lay in the warm bed, staring at the flashing screen of my phone. It was a quarter until midnight, everyone was sound asleep, or that was what I thought. There was nothing much for me to do on my phone, I didn't have any social medias or games. Instead, my thoughts began to eat me away. I wanted to stay with the twelve males and somehow pay them back for their generosity. At the same time, what would I do in the future after getting to know them and having fun? I couldn't possibly live the rest of my life doing nothing. I had no other talent than Hunting, Fighting, and spying, and I couldn't pursue any other career with no identity.

Letting out a sigh of frustration, I tossed and turned in my bed. I wanted to help Jimin with his mission to eradicate the organization, but I wanted to be close to the twelve boys of Exo as well.

The clock ticked, and I was more uncertain than ever. But the sound of footsteps pulled me out of my thoughts. The footsteps were gentle as it crept closer and closer to my room. I opened my eyes and turned to look at the door. As expected, the door was gently opened and a pair of eyes scanned around the room.

I waited several seconds longer, but he didn't proceed. "Come on in Luhan."

"Sorry to disturb you, it's so late now," he replied in a whisper and walked in, shutting the door behind him.

I sat up from bed and watched as he sat at the foot of the bed. "What brings you here so late at night?"

"I sensed your trouble. You can talk to me about it," Luhan said calmly. But in the dark, I caught his eyes darting across my body. I shifted and pulled the cover up to cover my chest. I just realized that I was in my pajamas with no under garments on, and a boy was in the same room as me.

"Wow, your telepathic abilities are sharper than ever," I complimented him before getting to the serious topic. "So, about my troubles..." I paused, trying to think of the best way to express my thoughts. I hadn't really talked to anyone about my true feelings before, let alone tell them my problems. But there was a special connection between Luhan and I.

Little by little, I told him everything that was on my mind. From the reason why I wanted to stay here with Exo, to the reasons why I wanted to aid Jimin in his plan. Luhan didn't comment much as I spoke, but when I finished explaining, he began.

"Abi, would you mind if I sit next to you?" He asked. I nodded and moved to one side on the bed, Luhan shifted from the foot of the bed to the spot next to me. We sat side by side, shoulders almost touching. "So, you want to stay with us and get to know us more and repay our kindness. You also want to join Jimin to help him take down the Organization."

He restated my thoughts perfectly. "Yes..."

"So, the solution is simple, really," Luhan said and I turned to him for his advice. "Since the plan with Jimin will be dangerous and probably take a long time, you should just spend a week or so with us. We'll take you around town, and shower you with love. After you had fun and is relaxed enough, you can start preparing for your journey with Jimin. I don't know what he possibly have in mind, but getting rid of the Organization will be doing a good deed for society. I support you."

An overwhelming amount of warmth rushed into my heart. Luhan paused and put his arm around me, pulling me close.

"I can feel the change in your emotions. You are a lot more at peace, right?" Luhan asked.

"Thank you so much, Luhan. Your words mean so much to me..." It was a little awkward for me as he had his arms around me, but I managed to thank him anyway.

The boy smiled. "Glad I could help. Now you should go to sleep, it's been a long day."

I suddenly felt like a child that was being taken care of. Was this what having a family meant? I lay down and snuggled into the warm fluffy sheets. I waited for him to leave before I could close me eyes, however, Luhan didn't move but sat next to me. My first thought was if he would harm me in my sleep, but I wanted to punch myself for thinking that way. I needed to learn to trust them, they are the only support I had.

"You should go to sleep too," I said quietly.

Luhan shrugged. "Can I sleep here?"

I froze and looked at him with my fully activated night vision. His expression remained neutral, and there was nothing else suspicious. "I guess so... But I might accidentally strangle you in my sleep if I sense you as a threat," I replied with a smile.

Luhan chuckled under his breath. "Wow, thanks for the heads up."

Facing the ceiling, I listened to the breathing sound of the boy next to me. I knew he wasn't asleep yet, but we both stayed silent. As the clock ticked, my consciousness slowly began to fade as I fell asleep.
