The light burns

Part 26

"I swear I find you in the weirdest places." Seungcheol said as he sat down beside me on the bench. He faced the blue lake filled with ducks and the sun reflecting off the water. "I'm founded on the best places on Earth." I said as I took out my earbuds from my ear. "Still thinking about Hyungsik? No Samuel." He said as he leaned against the bench. I grinned,"Actually I am thinking about Hyungsik." Seungcheol raised his eyebrow and sighed,"What's up?" Tears welled up slowly in my eyes. Why did I feel like crying? I don't know at all. "It's just weird how he comes back and declares me to fight. Then he starts making out with your ex. I just don't understand anything anymore. Nothing is simple. Nothing is just a straight like but it has to be some crazy squiggly wave." I took a big breathe trying to hold in my tears. Seungcheol scoffed,"Wow, I never the fearless Princess Yuna would have such worries." I playfully hit his shoulder,
"I still have feelings, jerk." I rubbed my eyes trying to make my tears away. "Why are you crying?" Seungcheol whispered as if someone can hear us. My tears dropped down my cheek one by one flowing with a whole stream later. "Because i-it's so frustrating." I look down at my hands that had little spots of puddles from my tears. Seungcheol places his hand on my lap,"You know before you came to our family, our family was so distant with each other. Dinner times are awkward and school rides to school were either filled with arguing or silence. We always had each other's back but only in time of need. Ever since our mother left, everything fell apart. We didn't feel like family. We just felt like strangers living under the same roof. After you and your mother came, everything changed. It's louder in the house. Everyone is close with each other and we tease each other. Father opened up. It felt nice to have a younger sister in the family. I really felt like an older brother when you came. All of us felt like one. It's like we've all been waiting been for you." My heart suddenly sparked with a fire. Not the spark when I see Samuel but the spark when you feel at home. I looked over to Seungcheol and he was staring at the waters with the wind blowing into his hair. I smiled softly while the tears slowly streamed down my cheeks,"I'm glad. I'm glad I joined this family. Even if you guys are a pain in the ass and if my biological father doesn't give a fuck about me but you guys mean a lot to me. I love you guys a lot." I said not only to Seungcheol. I looked over to the woods,"I mean it too." Everyone came out from their hiding spot. Vernon and Seungkwan became visible while others jumped down from the trees or went to their normal form. They all stood there behind us,"Geez, Dino. Can't you stand still on the branch for once?" Seungkwan groaned. Dino pouted,"Shut up Hyung! At least you can turn invisible." I couldn't how long it's been since I joined this family. Months ago, I would be against this whole thing but now I couldn't ask for anything better. "Haha, you guys are sooooo sneaky. I swear I heard you coming from a mile away. Especially with Dokyeom's loud voice." I said while standing up wiping my tears. I smiled softly staring at all twelve of them. Seungcheol stood up too with his hands in his pockets. "Are you okay, Yuna? We were just worried." Dino said while walking towards me. I smiled softly,"Of course I'm fine. I was just stressed." Seungcheol wrapped his arm around my shoulders bringing my neck down,"She was all depressed and whining saying 'boo hoo I hate my life!'" He said mockingly making all the boys burst out in laughter. "No I wasn't! Shut up Seungcheol!" I stood up straight while playfully slapping his arm. I rolled my eyes while Seungcheol went over to the rest of the boys,"So wanna go home?" He said while grinning. I stood there,"Actually, I need to go somewhere really quick. Go ahead without me." Seungkwan winked,"No sex,drugs or alcohol, kiddo" I rolled my eyes playfully and I prepared for my flight and zoomed towards the sky. I flew through the sky while grinning from one ear to another. I stopped at a huge house. I swooshed through the open window to see Samuel reading Crazy Rich Asians. "Hey" I said with heavy breathes. Samuel placed his bookmark,"Hey." He places the book on his desk,"Sooo you can go through my window but I can't go through yours." Samuel looked at me from head to toe while walking towards me. I stood next to the window watching his every move,"Apparently so?" I said quietly. Samuel walked up right in front of me looking down at me,"You came alone? Who knows what I can do to you?" Samuel whispered as I breathed softly. It felt tense but slight sexy. The setting of his own dark theme bedroom with the moonlight shining through the window. All of it just looked like a scene from Twilight. "You're my boyfriend. I trust you." I said trying to not show how flustered I was. Samuel pulled me closer to him by wrapping one arm around my waist. "You can't trust anyone in this world, my love." He said as he planted a passionate kiss on my lips. Samuel felt different. He didn't remind me as the boy who loved cafés or libraries. He wasn't the boy who seemed playful or shy. He seemed so intimidating. Samuel finally showed his true colors.
