Chapter 5: Night #1 Felix's P. O. V.

I don't live in darkness,
Darkness lives in me.

"This is your room Felix. Feel free to decorate however you want! It's not that grand or anything, but I hope you like it." Christopher said showing me the room. "Not grand? Are you kidding me?? This is more than grand mate!" I said in English. "Oh sorry my Aussie just pops outta nowhere." I said sheepishly looking towards the floor while messaging my neck to relax my nerves. "That's perfectly fine. Even I am Australian. G'day mate!" Christopher said smiling brightly while showing off his dimples surprising me a bit. "Wait.. You are Australian? But the other two-" "We are not blood related, I mean we are blood related technically, considering we had the same sire," He first murmured "BUT let's not go into technicalities and now move on, shall we?" Then suddenly spoke loudly while clapping his hand and rubbing then together. I looked at him weirdly for a few minutes trying to understand what he just said but my last two brains cells had given up on me so I let it slide. Shrugging my shoulders I replied "Meh, whatever" While moving towards the bed.
"But wait.. You guys are not real siblings? Does that mean you are adopted?" I asked sitting myself down on the bed, "Oh this is fluffy" I said to myself, jumping on the bed a bit while still being seated "Well that's one way to put it, but if it makes it easier for you then yes, we are adopted" He gave a dopey smile before continuing "At least Minho, Jeongin and I am." I gave him a 'does-it-look-like-I-have-the-mental-capacity-to-understand-your-family-tree-after-the-death-of-my-last-two-braincells' look. To which he replied "What I mean to say is that, we were adopted By Changbin's family" Which led to me saying 'oooo' very dumbly while feeling sleepy and hungry simultaneously. "Come on, freshen up and come downstairs, we'll be having dinner. You can sleep after dinner and do the unpacking tomorrow. You must be tired today" He said ruffling my hair a bit while chuckling at my small 'Fuck yeah, I am.' "Okay then I'll be downstairs, if you need any help just call me." He said walking away leaving me alone in my room with my thoughts.

I flopped my whole body on the bed and flet my muscles relax into the soft cushiony mattress and let out a soft moan at the relief I felt flooding in my veins. I need this after a long day of travel. I stayed there for a few minutes before getting up again to take out clothes and other necessary items for the bath. I took my suitcase and opened it and browsed through the different clothing I had packed before settling on a black sweatshirt and black joggers. All the while thinking about the conversation I had with Christopher. I had felt excited when he said that he is from Australia but the excitement had been replaced with confusion when he said all the other things regarding the adoption. I tried to ponder on my thoughts for a while but gave up cause my brain cells were still dead. Eh, it not like it's my business or anything. I mean sure, I'm gonna stay with them for five years or so, that too under the same room, breathing the same air, under the same territory, in the same house, with our rooms just few feet apart while baby sitting their baby brother... But it's no big deal. It's not my business I thought shrugging while staggering towards the bathroom because of my sleepiness.

After I took a bath and got ready I decided to let my hair air dry instead of using a hairdryer. I went downstairs to the dining area and saw that three off four of them (as JeongIn was already asleep) were already sitting there. The dining area was huge. A big round dining table made of wood, probably mahogany, was situated in the center, beautifully crafted with different patterns and designs. It looked so majestic that people could've confused its purpose for a round table confrence instead of a dining table if it weren't for the kitchen situated a little far left from it. I myself had thought that this was King Arthur's round table and I had been selected a knight to search for the holy grail. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone laugh, following the sound I found it to be none other than Seo Changbin. "This is not the round table little thing. Your food's getting all cold so stop standing there and come and sit with us. We don't bite... Or do we?" He said raising his eyebrows a bit fixing me on my spot with his gaze. A smirk placed nicely upon his lips. His dark yet sharp eyes had the same sparkle of mischievousness sprinkled in them when I first saw him, along with an aura of mysteriousness that for some reason creeped me out yet drew me close to him. Some sort of attraction I couldn't comprehend. If I hadn't known better I would've thought he was a Vampire. I thought while shrugging mentaly and jumping a bit when I got scared by the same laughter. But this time it was filled with much more intensity. "You haven't seen nothing yet little thing. And before you say or think anything again. Let me just warn you that my height shouldn't matter when I can takeover you any minute, any time and overpower you any second." He said lifting his head to meet me dead in the eye as if giving me some sort of warning which he actually was. My heart started to pump faster as fear took over my body and goosebumps started rising. My eyes started to waver as soon as he averted his gaze. And my breath was laboured, laced with anxiety. "Oh, I'm sorry! Did I make you anxious-"

"That's enough Changbin." Christopher said in a deathly cold tone and gave him a side eye, to which Changbin just rolled his eyes. "He's just joking Felix. He doesn't like change much that's why he likes to scare off people and try to come off as intimidating. But trust me once you get to know him and he becomes comfortable with you, you'll see a completely different side of him. Now come sit, join us. Your food is getting cold." Christopher said to which Changbin scoffed. Even though Christopher tried to reassure me it didn't work that well. I staggered my way to the dining table anxiously, my heart still pounding with fear. I sat besides Minho who gently held my wrist and started rubbing his thumb in a comforting manner and I instantly calmed down as if he had casted a spell upon me. "Calm down Felix, I can sense your fear and anxiety from miles. Don't worry about Changbin. He sometimes acts like a brat, but he isn't that bad once you get to know him. If you ever feel uncomfortable or feel the need to talk to someone you can always come to me." Minho said smiling a bit at me. And even though he was smiling, his eyes had this tint of melancholy to them. For some reason his eyes held a lot of pain and sadness in them but it wasn't the right time or my place to ask him about it. After all I had met him only a few moments ago. And so keeping that in mind I ignored the sad glint for now and nodded at him smiling my sunshine smile although I did it a bit nervously. Something about Minho's calm and comforting aura made me think that I can trust him and talk to him without being judged or reprimanded. I couldn't wait to get know Minho better.
