The Monster Under The Bed

3. Arrival

"Don't say anything to them," Chen advises Zitao and Autumn, "Maybe they won't notice you guys."

A week had already passed and now everyone was waiting in the hall by the door for Suho's uncle and cousin to arrive. Zitao was already trembling from the stories.

"For some reason, I doubt that Chen," Autumn sighs, rubbing Zitao's back.

Chen opens his mouth to answer, but the door bangs open. His head shoots to the two handsome men entering the house. Suho approaches them.

"Welcome Uncle Leeteuk, Kyuhyun," Suho greets.

They promptly ignore him and walk toward Autumn and Zitao. The slightly taller one reaches out and strokes Autumn's face. She doesn't move, just raises her eyebrows at him.

"You must be Autumn," he smirks, "I'm Kyuhyun."

"Stop it Kyuhyun, we aren't here to flirt," the other man, Leeteuk, orders.

"Maybe later then," Kyuhyun mumbles, then backs away.

"Are you hungry Mr. Leeteuk? Kyuhyun?" Kyungsoo asks, "I made lunch."

"No," Leeteuk answers curtly, "Where's my room. I have some important things to get done rather than waste my time eating your disgusting food."

Kyungsoo looks hurt, but he quickly wipes his face of the emotion.

"Follow me Uncle Leeteuk," Suho says, "Kyuhyun, Xiumin will take you to your room."

Both of the guests follow Suho and Xiumin. Before Kyuhyun leaves however, he leans over and plants a kiss on Autumn's cheek.

"Later darling," he smiles flirtatiously.

Once he's out of sight and earshot, Jongin hands her a wet, soapy paper towel. He must've teleported to the kitchen.

"I'd get the germs off your face," he tells her, "You never know where his lips could've been."

"Thanks Jongin," Autumn sighs, rubbing her cheek with the towel.

"Chanyeol, pay up!"

She turns to see Chanyeol putting money into Baekhyun's hand.

"What did you make a bet on?" Sehun asks, yawning.

"On whether Kyuhyun would make any advances or not," Baekhyun replies with a laugh. She rolls her eyes.

"What are their powers?" Zitao asks, nervousness clear in his shaking voice.

"Kyuhyun can go through any solid object," Kungsoo answers quietly, "Leeteuk has the ability to see the behavior and character of someone else."

"What does that mean?" Autumn asks after she finishes scrubbing her cheek.

"You know how you can never see yourself through someone else's eyes?" she nods, and Kyungsoo continues, "He can. He can't read your thoughts, but he can see your perspective of things and decipher your emotions."

"That's a bit creepy," she comments.

"More than a bit Nim-nim," Chen sighs, and the others nod in agreement. They are silent for a while, until Zitao breaks it.

"I'm hungry," he complains, "Kyungsoo, can we eat?"

Kyungsoo smiles at the younger boy.

"Of course Zitao. File to the kitchen everyone!"

Zitao jumps up and down using Autumn's shoulders as his support.

Luhan wanders around his room in the cabin, as far as the chain around his ankle would permit anyway. The room he was in was definitely a step up from the basement. They had given him clothes and there was a small fridge full of water. It even had a small bed in one corner and a toilet in the other. There was only one problem Luhan had: Kris wasn't with him.

Luhan sighs and walks back to the bed. With nothing else to do, he lays down and falls asleep.

A scream wakes him up. Luhan falls on the floor at the sound and tries to run to the door, only for the chain around his ankle to yank him back. He falls on the ground hard. He struggles to yank the chain off, but to no avail. He knew the owner of that scream.

"Kris!" he shouts desperately.

The door bangs open. Luhan looks up to see a strange man smirking down on him.

"They thought they could hide you two," he scoffs, then leans down and yanks Luhan up by his hair.

Luhan feels fear rise up in him. The aura of this man was scarier than even Suho's father. Luhan can't help but close his eyes and whimper when the man nears his face. The man was breathing through his mouth, his breath smelled strongly mint. It was actually sickening.

"By the time I'm done with you, you'll be begging me to join us," the man taunts, before throwing Luhan to the ground.

"Kungsoo, will you come to the dance room with me?" Jongin asks.

Kungsoo looks up from the book he was reading and shakes his head.

"Not tonight Jongin," he replies, "I'm really tired."

Jongin sighs.

"Okay."

By himself, he wanders to the dance room and turns on the music. But he immediately turns it off. He just wasn't feeling it tonight.

"Good, I found someone."

Jongim whirls and sees Kyuhyun by the entrance.

"What do you want?" Jongin asks.

"Where do you guys keep your toys?" Kyuhyun inquires with a yawn.

"Why?"

"I always play before bed," the older boy drones, "Where is it?"

"She's upstairs in the attic," Jongin mumbles, then speaks louder, "You have to ask Suho first though."

Kyuhyun chuckles and walks over to Jongin. Then, without warning, he shoves the younger boy to the ground. Jongin lands on his elbow and he hears a small pop. He takes a sharp breath and looks up at Kyuhyun's smirking face.

"I don't have to do anything Jongin," he informs coldly, "And I certainly don't have to listen to my pipsqueak of a cousin."

With that, he leaves. Jongin slowly rises and, holding his arm, makes his way to Yixing's room. The older doesn't asks any questions. He doesn't have to. He simply heals Jongin's arm.

"Just go to sleep for tonight Jongin. It'll be safer."

Jongin nods in agreement and teleports back to his and Kyungsoo's room. The other boy was already asleep. He falls on his own bed and lets fatigue lull him to sleep. The nightmares haunt him all night.
