Hidden: Strings of Fate

CHAPTER 23

Leo. As soon as I saw his face, I jerked up. Not even sure how I ended up sleeping on him in the first place. The thought of his warm body against the side of my face. I blushed at this thought and moved away.

One Year Later...

"So how do you guys feel? You just got your first music show award last night!!! I knew you guys could do it with VOODOO DOLL. All you've got to do is have patience" I cheered.

"It shows, doesn't it? All that hard work paid off. Our Starlight waited for a long time and we finally got them an award! They must be so proud of us." Hakyeon announced.

"Yes, our Starlight babies are the best, don't you agree Hongbin?" Jaehwan inquired.

"Yes Hyung. I agree. But don't you think calling them babies is a bit too much?" Hongbin proposed.

Jaehwan pouted. "It doesn't matter if they're 18, 20, or even 120, our Starlight will always be our babies. Especially for me." Hongbin cringed while smiling, "whoa, jinjja, this hyung..." .

"They are very pretty as well. Look at them cheering for us. I feel happy knowing we have such good friends in our Starlights." Hyuk declared.

"Oo, oo, oo, watch THIS bit! Starlights went crazy over this. I think that they really loved that we added this bit in. Its a shame we had to edit the original choreography. I think it would have added more impact but this had impact too." Wonshik claimed.

"Where's Leosshi?" I inquired.

"He's here Honey-ah, fast asleep like a little child. Aigoo! Grandad Leo must be getting older... Tsk Tsk. We'll have to replace him soon as well as N hyung." Hyuk uttered, pointing towards the sofa.

"Yah! Michyeosso? Ige mwoya? The youngest son is talking about replacing his eomma and appa. I guess I didn't raise you well enough. Bien, Hyuk-ah. It's because we left you at the gas station. Isn't it? I knew I shouldn't have listened to you guys," Hakyeon stated while keeping a poker face. He started to comfort Hyuk.

He avoided Hakyeon's touch. "It was a good thing that you left me at the gas station. Now I have something to fuel me. There's no way you can escape your destiny. I'll have the body soon to take care of all of you. Especially Leo hyung."

"Whoa, you're impressive. Can't you just consider it an error in your history and forget about it?" Wonshik chuckled.

"I'm going to remember it for an eternity and I'm sure Starlights won't forget it either." Hyuk retorted.

"You won't be able to do anything, Hyuk-ah. I'm going to tell on you to Starlights if you do." Jaehwan threatened.

"I cook for you guys..." Hyuk began.

"Leo hyung cooks for us..." Hongbin added.

"...and keep you in line so you don't ruin our families name. You hyungs are too much you know. It's hard keeping you in line... I'm sure Starlights will understand why I'm doing it." Hyuk continued retaliating.

"I see, our dongseng has a lot of fire in him today. I wonder why?" Wonshik muttered to Hakyeon.

"Ok. Ok. Guys? I think we've established who raised who. Now, if I could have attention for like two second?" VIXX5 looked at me, with curiosity. "What would you guys like for breakfast? I'll cook," I announced.

"Ramyeon, please," said Hyuk.

"Kimchi," declared Hakyeon.

"Doenjang soup," said Hongbin with a grin.

"But I want Galbi though," spoke Jaehwan in a huff.

"What about you Wonshik oppa? What would you like?" I asked.

"I'll eat anything. Do you need help in the kitchen?" he replied.

"No oppa, it's OK and don't worry, I'll make all the dishes that you said. So Jaehwannie oppa, no need to get upset." Jaehwan grinned like a little child at this. "You oppas rest. I'll make everything, don't worry. It'll be my treat to you for all the hard work and effort that you've put in over the last few months," I said with a smile.

The boys were entertaining themselves so I didn't need to worry about them. I threw a throw over Leo in case he felt cold later and got started on making the breakfast.

ONE AND A HALF HOUR LATER

Leo was still sleeping when I was done. "Boys, sit down. It's time to eat. I'll go call Leosshi," I said. I could hear sniggers in the background. "What's so funny?" I questioned as the seated themselves.

"Nothing Honey-ah. You go call Leo." Hakyeon said with an almost stern voice shooting daggers with his eyes at the other members. I couldn't help but notice that he had a smirk on his face as he said that, however I decided to shrug it off.

By the time, I went to calling him, Leo had managed to twist the throw around his torso and legs. If I pulled it, he would have easily fallen off the sofa.

"Leosshi," I said in a whisper. I shook him gently. He didn't wake up so I tried again.

"Leosshi, wake up please." I whispered again. There was no response...
