Superhuman

Chapter 18

"So, should we call you Donghyuck or Haechan?"

I stare at my lap, Taeyong had asked me to go to his office after the meeting had happened. I wasn't able to properly say goodbye to Jaebum, but hopefully I'll get to see him more.

"Haechan, please." I finally respond.

"Okay. So, how do I know that I can trust you? How can I know that you aren't working with the lab?" Taeyong stared at me. I felt vulnerable. He sounded way too calm for this situation and it felt as if he would snap at any moment. It's understandable though, he only wants to keep his family protected.

"I understand why you don't trust me, but please believe me when I say I want nothing, but to destroy that place. I'll tell you everything I know about everything that happened there. I want to be compliant. If you have the time, I'll tell you every single detail of what I went through."

That seemed to ease Taeyong a bit and it made me feel just a little bit less scared.

"Wow," Taeyong says, after hearing everything.

I wasn't sure if that was a disbelieving 'wow' or an angry 'wow'. I'm pretty sure he believes me now though, after showing him all of the scars and telling him about the severe reactions my body had to the drugs they gave me. I just hope that he realizes I am on his side.

"I'm going to have to talk to Jaehyun about all of this. I'll let you know what we're going to do, but um, thank you for all of the information."

With that, I take my leave, but right as I reach the door, Taeyong stops me. "Haechan, thank you for trusting us enough to protect you. Also, I'm sorry for making it seem like I didn't believe you."

I smile at him and nod, before leaving.

He believes me. He knows I don't want to work for the lab, he knows my hatred for them, and he knows that I want them eliminated. That all brings a good feeling in me, knowing that I finally have someone on my side for once.

I wander around the house for a bit, not sure of the direction I'm heading, but also not sure that I really want to be anywhere right now. It also seemed to be quiet here, maybe everyone was out, most likely school. I kind of wish I could go to a school. I always did online schooling back at the lab.

"Haechan."

I jump at the sudden, unexpected voice. "Oh, hi, Taeil. You scared me."

Taeil chuckles, "Since no one is really home, do you want to work on training some more outside? It would be the perfect time to do it without distractions."

I hesitate for a moment before agreeing. My head wouldn't stop hurting for a week after the first training. I'm starting to get worried about what is happening to me when I use my powers.
