The Master's Sun: Children of The Night§ (Fanfiction) (Stopped)

Chapter Thirteen

As it so happened, the girls were all grouped in proficient and advanced levels for all subjects except mathematics, with the exception of kymin. the girls had an immense amount of time to organize their class schedule due to it being the weekend. ji-ae offered to bring the girls out for a treat. eunji and hyusu snapped up the invitation eagerly while minah and chaebyul had to be persuaded but finally relented. kymin declined, preferring to be by herself. ji-ae understood, and left her to her own devices. the girls left the dormitory in their snow boots and large coats. chaebyul pulled on a beanie as they stepped out into the snow. "we should make snow angels.." eunji mused as she spotted the thick blanket of snow. "we've been in the building for the past two weeks.. I've forgotten what the world looks like!" ji-ae laughed and agreed with the younger. "it's pretty." 

they arrived in town a half an hour later. chaebyul had recognized the place and had headed to the familiar bubble tea shop while the rest waited for seats at the cafe. the bells on the doors tinkled softly as she stepped into the store. she dusted the snow off her coat before making her way to the counter. taeyeon broke into a grin as she saw the girl. "byul!" she exclaimed as she continued pulling shots and greeting customers. "are you here alone?" chaebyul shook her head, explaining that her dorm-mates were with her. as they entertained themselves with idle chit-chat, chaebyul noticed a boy that she had seen in school entering the shop. it was her turn in the queue and chaebyul had just decided to get the usual. "mango milk tea." another voice chorused along with her. she looked up at the guy that was standing right beside her. she had seen him before on the school campus but couldn't remember his name. he stared straight into her eyes and chaebyul looked back curiously. when he didn't look away, she snapped out of it and turned back to the counter, looking past the machines at the street outside. what a weird guy. taeyeon came back to the counter, passing the two drinks to the both of them. the guy's hand brushed against hers as he stretched for the cup. "thanks for coming, sehun. byul, do you need anything else?" taeyeon waved her hand in front of the younger's eyes as chaebyul processed the name. "ahh.. I should get some for my unnies too.. ji-ae loves bubble tea!" she thought. "can I have an iced chocolate with less sugar, honey milk tea, passionfruit green tea and oolong bubble tea please?" taeyeon nodded and scampered to the back of the store. "on the house!" chaebyul giggled, not realizing that the boy was still staring at her. she looked out of the window on instinct. the rest were already being ushered into the cafe. taeyeon handed over the drinks and chaebyul rushed out of the store as she promised to drop by again. in the store, sehun scrutinized the figure skipping away admist the falling snowflakes.

on the other side of the road, in a less crowded street, kymin was pacing alone. she had wanted raven high to be a new start for her, but like always, she had managed to screw things up. her friends were all so far ahead of her. even jongsuk, who had followed her back to korea from canada, had been in the top thirty percent of the cohort. and her brother, heechul, who was always so lackadaisical, had scored in the assessments as well. she was the only one in her domitory who had scored lower than a C, and for majority of her subjects, no less. she was lost in her own thoughts, getting more agitated and clomping down the street, when suddenly, in the corner of her eye, she spotted a guy picking up a wallet and slipping it into his pocket nonchalently. kymin could have sworn, in that moment, that the wallet was in fact dropped by the elderly man hobbling along in front of him. being brash and not in the right frame of mind, kymin jumped the guy, wrenching his arm behind his back and pushing him onto the ground. he spluttered as his face was shoved into a pile of snow. a group of spirits surrounded them as they watched on. kymin took no notice. the guy winced and exclaimed in confusion as kymin snatched the wallet from him. the contents of the wallet fell out in the ensuing scuffle and kymin had a chance to glimpse at a picture of - hyusu? before something hit her from the side. two bodies crashed into the asphalt pavement, sending flakes of snow difting in the air. kymin coughed out the dirty snow that she had unintentionally ingested and struggled against her assailant. "he's a thief and a pedophile!" kymin yelled. she did a double-take when she looked up at a familiar face. she recognized the guy who had tackled her.  he was the one who had smirked at her in the corridor when she got called out by her professor. rude. embarrassed but pissed off, kymin lashed out at the guy, hitting him squarely in the jaw. he flinched, but held on to her tighter, rendering her immobilized. the apparitions looking on flickered and pixelated. I must have hit my head. the other guy - the one that she thought was a thief, sat up and groaned. "kyu.. what just happened?" her assailent squinted at kymin as if she was an annoying insect. kymin forced her wrists out of his iron-like grip and sat up herself as he finally let go and wiped his hands on his snow-caked jeans. "she's the one, sungmin." sungmin furrowed his brows. "what one, kyuhyun?" oh, his name is kyuhyun. that bastard. "179." he scoffed. kymin was about to lunge at him again when there was a cry from the end of the street.
