Devination |hongbin [completed]

5. Master

A glint of light caught my eye, as I tried to adjust to my surroundings. To my surprise, I was laying on a single bed, along with an arrangement of black roses above me. The unfamiliar set up caused me to push myself off the bed in panic. I remembered the confrontation with Hakyeon, and tried to make a run for it, only to find myself in the place I ran away from. My bed was situated in the dead centre of the room.

The chamber room.

I ran over to the door, desperately rattling the handle. I noticed a security system was now placed beside the door and the keypad looked foreign to me. Getting out of here was going to be impossible. I bit down on my lip, trying to calm myself down but not even my strive for patience could help me now. It wasnt until I moved back to the bed that I realized I was being watched, once again, by my now fellow prisoners.

"She's finally awake" Ravi said, his monotone voice was surprisingly soothing.

"When did he bring me down here ? How long was I asleep for ?" I asked desperately, as they shifted ever so slightly in their chambers. It seemed as though they waited for someone to speak up first. They didn't exchange conversation, all they did was observe me.

"You've been here for 5 days" a voice called behind me, it was Hongbin.

5 days. 'How was this remotely possible ?' I thought to myself as I paced around the room. All five of them curiously peered through their respective chambers, each wondering what would be my next move. I didnt even know what was my next move.

"Im not like you am I ?" I asked in a small voice, afraid to hear my possible fate.

"No, your heart is still beating isnt it ?" Ravi questioned, his eyebrows knitting together.

"Maybe she will transition later" Ken added, again they spoke of me as if I was the abnormal one.

I looked over at Hongbin, the only person who had actually tried to help me beforehand, and waited for him to explain what exactly Ken was talking about. Hongbin paced around his chamber and I watched him in awe. He was really the most beautiful thing i'd ever laid eyes on. But right now, ogling at his features, wasn't going to get me anywhere.

"Transitioning to become like us, a doll" He said, gesturing to his companions around him as my nose wrinkled at his choice of word. "We are under master, and we obey master because he controls our fate."

The mention of Hakyeon made Hyuk tense up. I watched as his fingers trembled, his eyes focusing on the ground beneath him. It seemed all I had uncovered about Hakyeon, were ten more layers to sift through.

"We were put under this spell in order to fulfill master's wish of becoming his prized possessions. As years went by, we lost everything it is to be human. Escaping, whatever you want to do, we cant help you" Honbin continued, his face stone cold, unable to read.

"What?" I retorted, "you did help me, you told me to runaway!" I felt my frustration build up as Hongbin's expression refused to change despite my argument. I walked over to his chamber and let myself in, not caring about what could possibly happen to me, but more for an answer from a very two faced Hongbin.

"What the hell is wron---"

"shut up, he is listening to us" Hongbin whispered, eyes moving to the ceiling. "you need to find out how he did this and end it."

I swallowed hard as Hongbin tilted his head, and took a step closer. His frame, compared to mine was much bigger than I imagined, his tall figure stood strong above me. He extended his hand to my body, his fingers grazing across my arm and collarbone, but within seconds his expression turned dark and he wrapped his hand around my neck, forcing me against the cold glass wall. He placed his free hand over my mouth, my weak state already giving up the battle of freeing myself.

"Thank you Hongbin, she just cant seem to learn the rules around here" a voice sang, and I watched as Hakyeon descended from the stairs and approached the chamber, a sheepish grin spreading across his face.

Hongbin kept his hand firmly over my mouth despite my pleas from coming face to face with Hakyeon once more. I looked up into his glassy eyes, searching for an answer throughout this madness.

"(y/n), as my new host I need you to learn who is the master.." Hakyeon explained as he tapped lightly on the glass, "....and who is the puppet. You are returning to your original job and I expect no slacking, I'm having guests over tomorrow at noon."

Hakyeon gestured for Hongbin to release me and I felt as though my body would give out. I exhaled deeply, catching my breath as Hakyeon retreated to the exit. "Come now, hurry up" he said, as I looked up at Hongbin, who hissed upon Hakyeon's departure.

"Follow his orders, let him become your master and find out more about the spell he put on us so we can finally get the hell out of here" Hongbin whispered, as I began making my way out of the room, following my master.
