Night | NCT

First Sight

It was his first day.

Jaehyun took a deep breath as he entered the doors of the Academy, taking it all in. It was his first day here, and he had no idea where to begin.

He had just finished moving into his room, much earlier compared to the other students. He had no goodbyes or tears for his loved ones, as the male had moved in alone, with the help of a few of his teachers that were willing to help the poor kid move his boxes.

Why?

Because Jaehyun was a demon. And being a demon meant that he had no family.

But none of the other students that walked by Jaehyun knew that he was a freak of nature, a creature that only existed in dark tales told at night which would make young sprites and faeries cry. None of the students knew that Jaehyun was different, automatically assuming that he was a vampire with his pale skin and dark hair.

If I worked out, would they think that I'm a werewolf? Jaehyun thought as he entered the dinning hall, which was empty save for the group of students sitting in the corner, laughing.

Jaehyun gulped as he met the eyes of one of them, feeling his soul escape. The male had round eyes, a sharp nose, and thin lips. The most noticeable thing about him was his fiery red hair, brighter than any other hair colour Jaehyun had seen before.

And the male had to wave him over.

Jaehyun looked around, hoping that he was waving to someone else but there was no one else. He was waving towards Jaehyun.

Jaehyun took a deep breath before walking to the group, who already had their attention on Jaehyun. The male with red hair had begin telling his friends to move over, making room for Jaehyun at their table.

"You're Jaehyun, right?" The male with red hair asked. Jaehyun's mouth opened in surprise.

"How did you know my name?" Jaehyun asked, astonished. The male smiled, sticking his hand out.

"My name is Taeyong. I'm a junior here and also a board member and agent with H.I.D.D.E.N. As a board member, I help go through applications to the agency, and I have to admit, yours left a lasting impression, don't you think, Doyoung?"

Jaehyun turned to the male Taeyong was motioning towards, sitting across from them. Doyoung had dark hair and almond eyes, and judging by his build, or lack of, and the spell book in front of him, it was clear that Doyoung was a witch.

"I guess." Doyoung said, eyes still on his spell book.

Taeyong seemed unsatisfied by Doyoung's answer and proceeded to ask the third male at the table, named Ten.

Ten looked as intimidating as Taeyong, but Jaehyun felt relieved the second Ten smiled at him. He could see Ten's fangs poking out as he spoke, a sign that he was a vampire.

"Doyoung's just in a bad mood." Ten told him. "Your application was really good."

"Thanks." Jaehyun said, playing with his fingers on the table. Taeyong turned back to Doyoung.

"Hey, where's Sora? You said she would join us." Taeyong asked.

Doyoung sighed as he took his phone out of his pocket. "She's probably still moving in, but I'll send her a message."

Sora?

Taeyong must have noticed the confused look on Jaehyun's face as he turned, giving Jaehyun a small pat on the shoulder.

"Sora's a witch from Doyoung's coven. I think it would be nice for you two to meet each other since Doyoung says she doesn't know anyone else here either."
