Superhuman

Chapter 28

I came back from writers block to over 22k reads?!? What the fuck is up Kyle

"Okay are we doing this or not? I will literally throw down ten dollars if you do this."

A couple of us were standing in the kitchen as Xiaojun bet that Lucas could chug the entire gallon of milk they had.

"Bet," Lucas replies with a confident smirk.

Mark walks over to the fridge to collect the milk. "You're going to throw up, Lucas. At least do it outside."

"You know what, Mark, you're genius. Let's go, boys." He leads all of us outside.

It was Mark and I, along with Xiaojun, Winwin, Jisung, Jaemin, and Yangyang. We all follow Lucas to the backyard into the grassy area, away from the patio.

I might not know much about what people do for fun, but I can tell that this isn't going to be a good idea. I keep watching nonetheless because I kind of do want to find out what happens.

"I bet you he's going to puke it up," Mark quietly tells me.

Lucas immediately tips his head back, mouth attached to the milk jug. Milk started off dribbling down his chin, but quickly turned to gushing milk streaming out the sides of his mouth.

"He's definitely going to puke," I respond back to Mark.

We both share a look, laughing slightly out of nervousness.

"What the actual fuck are you doing, Lucas?"

Everyone turns their attention to find Taeyong walking up to us, followed by Taeil and Jaehyun. The latter two were both trying to contain their laughter as they watch Lucas lose control of the milk jug. Lucas ends up dropping the jug on himself and loses balance, falling over on the ground.

"That was amazing."

"Are you an idiot?!"

"Hold that thought, I think I'm gonna be sick."

Sure enough, not even a second later, the milk all comes right back up. Mark was smart for suggesting we do this outside.

"Okay, now everyone learn from this: milk is not something we can consume a lot of otherwise, well, you saw what happened." Jaehyun comments, while Taeil guides Lucas inside.

"Anyways, I have a new mission. Jaemin, Jisung, go to Renjun. He has the information needed for the Dreamies. Mark, Winwin, and Haechan, meet me and the others in my office. Yangyang and Xiaojun, Johnny needs your help with weaponry."

Once Taeyong finishes listing off what everyone's job is, we all split up to our rightful places.

As we follow Taeyong to his office, a hand slips in mine. I glance down to find Mark's hand molded perfectly with my hand, causing me to smile.

"Okay," Taeyong begins, after we all gather in the office. "We found a way to get closer to the lab. A colleague of mine found out they will be hosting a charity banquet tomorrow night. This will be perfect for us to sneak into especially since the theme just so happens to be masquerade. We wear a fancy mask and no one knows who we are."

We nod, listening to his plan. Yuta, Doyoung, and Ten were in charge of placing smoke bombs everywhere along with explosive traps that would go off if triggered by someone, Mark and Johnny were in charge of being sniper, Taeyong and Kun were in charge of being decoys and look outs during the event and calling all the shots. Kun was also there for medical assistance, as well.

I was there for the obvious reasons: my powers. I was scared, though. My dad will be there. It angered me to the point that I was ready to fight him. He needs to realize that what he did was wrong and inhumane. He needs to be stopped.

"Haechan, you good?"

I glance up at multiple pairs of eyes on me. I hadn't realized that I was deep in thought for a long time.

"Oh, uh, yeah. I'm fine."

Taeyong looks at me wearily, "If you aren't comfortable with going through with this, you don't have to go. I know this is your first mission and we're asking for a lot from you."

I shake my head quickly, "No. I want to do this. I need to."

He nods his head at my words before finishing up everything he needed to say. I found my hand once again intertwined with Mark's and it helped ease the nerves that were eating away at me.
