Chapter 39: Opposing forces

The night was dark, filled with a heavy rain. Thunder and lightning plagued the night sky, with vigorous pounding and flashes of light. After Kai finally found himself feeling somewhat calm, after his time to himself. The man unwrapped his knuckles and wandered up to his room. After arriving at the top of the stairs that lead to his bed room. Kai peered down the vacant hallway glancing towards Mia's door finding it closed. He assumed nothing of it she was definitely behind the closed door, probably sleeping, or reading. Sometimes Mia would go off with Kyungsoo into the library for hours. But Kai knew that hasn't happened since the night his shorter friend had pissed her off.

Kai entered his room with a huff before he closed the door behind himself and stripping of his sweat drenched clothing. The blonde man wandered over to his bathroom feeling the thin layer of sweat that coated his body. Kai silently turned on the light before he entered the shower. Turning the water to the hottest it could go, as he began to wash away the sweat and grime from his workout.

His mind was filled with many things as the hot water consumed his body, how Sehun was being a manipulative rat. The poor woman who was locked up, no one even knew her name yet. She was simply known among them as the blonde woman. She had no name, no voice they only heard her cries and it made Kai sick. The blonde man knew Mia felt the same, the brunette wanted so badly to help her. But everyone had warned her about doing so, so she idly say back and bit her tongue. Kai pushed back his deep thoughts with a sigh and decided he would go see Mia once he was finished.

After washing his light hair and rising it out, Kai turned off the water and exited the shower. Throwing a clean towel around his waist, the man exited his bathroom back into his room. Silently he pulled on a fresh pair of sweatpants and a plain white tee shirt. Using the towel Kai dried his hair bit, before he was somewhat satisfied.

The man exited his room and silently wandered down the dark hallway. The only sound to be heard was the soft pattering of rain hitting the many windows. Kai quickly arrived at Mia's room, knocking twice before he listened for any indication of her. No sounds met his ears, signalling that she was either not there or sound asleep. Quietly Kai placed his hand on the door knob and twisted it open. The man peaked into her room, instantly Kai saw Mia cuddled up under her duvet. Her eyes were pulled shut and face was calm, she was like he presumed..sound asleep. Her bedside lamp was on, and a book lye open to her left hand, Kai smiled softly and walked into her room. Closing the door behind himself, the blonde man picked up the book and marked the page. Closing the cover Kai quietly placed it down onto her nightstand, before he flicked the lamp off as well.

The blonde man climbed into the vacant spot in her bed, silently pulling the covers up over his body. Kai took a few seconds to get comfortable before he paused and glanced down to Mia. The man took the time to fully examine her beautiful face, for once she looked at peace. Mias face was calm and brows relaxed, her eyelashes were thick framing her closed eyes beautifully. While her plump lips were heart shaped and coloured a soft pink. Her skin was beautiful glistening like gold, despite the darkness engulfing the room. Mia looked so beautiful, like a picture out of a magazine, she looked so imperfect but perfect. All these feelings he had for her, it made Kai's once frozen heart flutter.

Smiling to himself the man tucked some of her long brown hair behind her ear. About to lye down Kai was halted by a violent scream coming from the direction of Sehun's room. Growling Kai threw the blankets off his body and pushed himself out of bed. The beautiful moment was now ruined by Sehun's childlike needs. Throwing Mia's bedroom door open Kai stepped into the hallway. Chen stood at the end of the hallway the same expression slapped across the older mans face. Chen stomped down the corridor towards Kai, the two paused in front of Sehun's door. The screaming became louder as they approached the sealed entryway, Kai felt his stomach twist into a knot. The cries echoed through the hall loudly, the younger man sighed and glanced to Chen.
