Chapter 40: Past memories

Mia sat silently in the library, Kyungsoo seated soundlessly in front of her, much to her dismay. But she had no say in the matter, Mia was being baby sitted in a way. Kai had to run out to complete some business with Suho and Lay. Not wanting her to be locked in her room Kai left Mia in his most trusted friends care. Begrudgingly the brunette stayed silent, her arms were tightly crossed over her chest. While her face was pulled into a distinct scowl. Kai knew about her beef with Kyungsoo, but Mia also realized there was no one else she was really comfortable with. A slight chuckle erupted through the tense silence, Mia shot her head up in Kyungsoo's direction.

The small man began closing his book, a faint smile was pulled across his pale face. Mia watched him in silence her glare softening somewhat as Kyungsoo slowly pulled his gaze up to meet her sharp eyes.

"Your little glare is cute". Kyungsoo spoke with a tender voice, Mia eyed the man bitterly upon hearing his words.

"But I do understand your anger, forgive me for last time Mia. I'm not good with emotions some times". Kyungsoo confessed still with a ghost of a smile on his face. Mia felt her animosity fading and her glare slowly falling from her face.

"You are forgiven". The brunette replied as she tucked some of her hair behind her ear numbly. Kyungsoos smile brightened a bit before he stood up and walked over to the book shelf behind him.

"I've heard about Sehun giving you a hassle". The man began as he skimmed across the book shelves with a outstretched finger.

"It's tiring". Mia confessed truthfully, Kyungsoo nodded briskly as he pulled a leather bound black book from the shelf. He skimmed through the pages before tightening the book in his hold and walking back over to his seat.

"Im surprised Suho hasn't stepped in as of yet". Kyungsoo spoke as he got comfortable in the leather arm chair once again. Mia nodded, she wondered why as well, but like the others said Suho had a dark side. Maybe he had some kind of ulterior motive to it all, but then again she could be reading too much into it.

"I hope he will, I'm concerned for Nari". Mia voiced softly, Kyungsoo lifted a brow to the brunette in confusion.

"Nari"?

"The girl he bought, her name is Nari". Mia replied, Kyungsoo nodded slowly a soft 'ah' escaping his lips.

"Sehun allowed you to talk to her"? Kyungsoo asked softly, Mia shook her head her lips parting slightly as she collected her words.

"Not exactly, Chen and Kai dragged him out of his room I convinced them to let me clean her wounds.". Mia explained, Nari's frightful expression flashed through her mind sending a smooth chill down her spine. Kyungsoo noticed her slight shiver, resulting in him lifting a confused eyebrow to her.

"Was she that bad"? He asked softly, Mia let out a heavy sigh and pulled her eyes closed. Truly she didn't know much about Nari's condition or mental state, but she assumed from the screaming that it wasn't good.

"Yes". Mia whispered softly, Kyungsoo leaned back into his seat a 'hmm' pulled from his plump lips.

"Suho has always been too lenient with Sehun, that boy will be our downfall". The man spoke bitterly, his eyes slowly turned dark and face became utterly emotionless. The soft boy who read silently in the confines of his own personal space was gone. Here sat something darker with a harsh edge, it was like his old self burned away and was replaced by another.
