Superhuman

Chapter 4

Donghyuck's POV

"Why would you bring him here? You can't just bring in some random kid from the street! Do you know how much trouble we can get into? Taeyong will be pissed and you know that!"

"Taeyong isn't here right now and I will talk to him later. He will understand."

"You don't know if this kid is secretly working with someone as a spy! What happens then? He could tell who ever he's working with that we live here! Do you want that? Do you want our lives at risk?"

"Calm down he isn't going to say anything I'll make sure of it."

I groan. I couldn't open my eyes to see who was arguing in front of me. I was really confused though because I don't recognize those voices. Where is Jaebum? He usually wakes me up. Unless they got a new security guard?

A splitting pain runs through my head causing me to groan again.

"He's waking up! Go get Kun."

I slowly open my eyes, blinking them quickly to adjust to the bright light in the room.

"Hm, where am I?"

"You passed out in the alley. I wasn't going to leave you there."

I look up at the voice to see one of the guys that I met earlier. What was his name again? Was he Mark? No I think he was Jaehyun. Mark had the pretty voice. How did he find me though? I thought I was teleporting away? Oh yeah, I didn't do it right. Maybe that's why my head hurts.

"What am I doing here? Where am I?" I ask, repeating my question.

"I don't know if we can trust you yet, but we want to help you. We aren't going to hurt you, I promise. Also, Mark was extremely worried for you so I don't think he would let me just leave you. Can you tell me why you were in the alley?"

I hesitate. Should I tell him? He doesn't trust me, why should I trust him? Maybe he knows the people at the lab. What if he turns me in? That can't be possible they're so far away. I went a good distance so I doubt they would know the lab.

I sit there opening my mouth and closing it like a fish. I probably look like a dummy so I close my mouth for a moment to gather my thoughts.

"Can I tell you something? I don't want the others to know. It's kind of- I don't know, just please don't tell the others until I feel comfortable with it."

Jaehyun nods, indicating for me to continue.

"I ran away. From somewhere big and bad. I-"

I sigh. This is going to be it. They're probably going to turn me in now.

Jaehyun scrunches his eyebrows, "From where? Why'd you run away? If it's too much to talk about I understand. I don't want to force you to say anything. I promise everything said here will stay with me, unless you say otherwise."

I nod my head. There's definitely truth in his words so that makes me feel a little better. I take a deep breath before continuing.

"I am from Seoul's biggest laboratory. I am one of their science experiments. When I was barely 2 years old, I was adopted by the man who owns the lab. He used me for one of his biggest research projects. It's going to sound crazy, but I have powers. That's why you found me in the alley. I tried using one of them, which is teleporting, except I wasn't able to focus clearly and I messed up."

Jaehyun only stayed silent as I talked, giving me his undivided attention. I felt like I could actually trust him in this moment. Maybe he can help me.

"I ran away because I was tired of being treated inhumanly. I feel myself getting sicker and sicker as the years keep going by. If I stayed there, I would surely die before I even hit 20 years old. I also have the ability to move things with my mind. That doesn't hurt my head all that much, unlike teleporting. They also give me all these injections that they say will help strengthen my powers to make me, as they say, 'invincible'. I really think they want to make me into some kind of weapon. I hate it. I don't want to be used for bad. I don't want to be there anymore. They don't care about me, only my powers."

At this point, I could feel myself crying my eyes out, which made Jaehyun wrap me in a hug.

"Hey, hey. Shh, it'll be okay. You have us now. We won't let anyone hurt you, okay? You're safe here. I promise."

I sniffle and sigh as my crying subsided to light whimpers.

A knock on the bedroom door distracts us.

"Hey, Jaehyun? You wanted me?"

A guy who looked to be a little older than us with soft facial features walked into the room.

"Haechan, this is Kun. He's kind of our own personal doctor around here. He can help you with your head and make sure you're okay. You're safe with him, alright?"

I simply nod and Jaehyun gets up to walk out of the room. Kun comes over to where I am on the bed and examines me. He gets a light to look at my pupils and does all his doctor stuff.

"Okay, so you seem fine on the outside. You had some bruises on your arm. Is there anywhere else that you feel discomfort?"

"My head really hurts a lot. It feels worse than my usual headaches."

Kun nods, "I'll get you some medicine for it-"

"No!" I stop him. "I mean, I don't need medicine. I'll be fine."

He looks at me suspiciously, but nods his head anyway.

I don't want anymore medicine. That's the reason I am falling apart in the first place. Why does everyone want to give me medicine? I hate it.

"We have to introduce you to Taeyong. He is going to decide what we should do. Though, I have to know, where are you from?"
