C2 Chapter 0.1

The six families were the highest and most powerful family in Seoul. All officials such as the government and others involved in politics have great respect for them and to their families. Whoever intends to knock out their company will make sure they get ahead of them first by ripping intruders' luxuries. But despite the luxurious life, power and respect from the people and the whole family couldn't help but be apprehensive.

They had everything they wanted, yes, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it.

These secrets were about their children's odd situation.

***

Park Sungjoon, acted as if their second mother towards his sibling and has always been the perfect picture of grace, caring, intelligent and perfect in every way.

Lee Minhee, probably the man and alpha who their parents trusted the most, had been handling his whole family in his sleeves, presenting each and one of them in pride and honor. As the trusted son, he was the person whom people talked to the most and the person who their late father depended on.

Lee Fin, seemed to be the most reserved. Emphasis on the seem, as could even compete with anyone chatter fest. Fin is very socialite and very friendly to others especially to their cousins, including his siblings. He loves to frolic around and loves events such as parties. Fin was the little sunshine of the house, a ray of hope.

Han Jihae, probably the most easy going among the Han siblings. He’s the only savage and 'doesn't have the care in the world' amongst them. He's probably the guy of power and who can defend anyone with his dominant aura.

Though he seemed calm and collected on the outside, he’s very wild at heart with his obnoxious laugh, sneaking tendencies and high alcohol intolerance. Gets too moody and would shout at anyone in his dispense even if it were their parents.

Hwang Hyunsung, the charming and the center of the family. He's always been agitated when it comes to his looks, fidgeting in his seat and he's a very dramatic guy. The most beautiful guy of the whole Hwang and everyone had always admired his beauty. But, he easily gets nervous about such a thing.

Kim Seunghyun, the Kim family or anyone who knows him as very compose and serious guy, smart and knows a lot about politics.

Yang Jeongsun, the most admirable guy in the Yang siblings. Very innocent and everyone loves him as how he act so cute and yet mature at the same time. He always seems to be in the mood for love and would always dance with different ladies but never courting any of them. But Jeongsun, for someone who looked composed and cheerful, rarely shares his inner demons.

Yang Junghwan, who is easily gets afraid of having to devote his whole life to one person. Unlike his siblings who prepared his whole life for such moment, Junghwan had been dreading it. He's stubborn and always easily gets annoyed by the presence of people. All thoughts of smiling, and waving to people he didn’t know, and constantly obeying the strict protocols of his home, he's dying to shut them all by planting a bomb in their skull.

Monika closed the folder and stood up, walking up to the cells where these guys has been turned.

These boys looked like masters in the mansion but unfortunately, it seemed that the family was hiding something. They didn't tell her what the reason of why they want to terminate their children in the ward so suddenly.

Monika stared at the boy in the first cell named Park Sungjoon. Staring at his perfect face, hair dump above his eye lids and it looked wet again. Did Sungjoon sweat a lot again?

A mole across his nose adoring his face, perfect thick brows knitted together while fisting his hands. He looked like he totally lost it.

"Cell 01, Park Sungjoon," she said through the microphone over her ear.

Sungjoon eyes snapped at her and Monika jumped in surprise. His eyes sharpened and he looked like he was about to struggle her.

Monika quickly moved to the cell next to number one while checking her clip board.

She found Lee Minhee scratching the wall with his beloved blade while glaring at the wall. His pupils were changing into silver again, snarling.

The said man looks good. Really good and he don't look like a thug. His hair was shorter and it looks like he had dyed it again in almost ginger which made his skin tone pop. He have a soft cat features especially his eyes but aside of that, he looks scary.

Her eyes moved to the small boxes of hair colorant.

"Cell 02. Lee Minhee."

She moved to Lee Fin's cell which she can already see the pained in the blonde's whole face. He was sweating hard, panting like he was going to die; fangs showing and drool flowing out from his mouth; eyes already silver, tears running aimlessly from the corner of his eyes.

She moved closer to Fin, studying his features too.

This patient was seriously beautiful, have blonde mullet of hair and a lithe body. His features is soft and very fairy-like, smattering of freckles lay across his nose and cheeks, only adding to the fairy impression and looks very angelic with doe-like eyes. His rosy lips pursed into a thin line when he whined. His pajamas already soaking wet like he had peed.

Fin closed his eyes and screamed at the top of his lungs with his deep voice as if he really in great pain. He also began crying out loud.

"Cell 03. Lee Fin," she said through her mic, watching Fin weeping badly before she proceeds to the next cell.

She stared at Han Jihae who was showing no sign of sleepiness. He was just sitting as still as a statue, eyes fixed unblinkingly on the far corner of the hallway.

It did not do so much as quiver when she tried to shock him by slamming her stick on the cell bars, nor when she hit him with the tip of her stick. In fact, he moved when a mosquito tried to bite him.

Monika smiled at the rather severe-looking Han Jihae who was wearing trapper and square glasses had around his eyes. His bangs fall smoothly above his eye lids, it looks fluffy although it was messy, straight line- thick brows knitted together, adorable cheeks puffing in anger as his perfect thin lips pursed into a thin line.

He looks like an adorable squirrel. He looked distinctly ruffled while seating in the floor, slapping the mosquito away.

"Cell 04. Han Jihae."

Monika wrote something in her clipboard before walking to the next cell, which she can already see Hwang Hyunsung sketching in the wall again using blood. The nurse just gave him blood bags so he won't turn aggressive and constant again, and to proceed in his sketching too.

He's sketching roughly with the rag. Monika can tell that his sketch was beautiful. It's an art work of a wolf biting its prey.

The guy is absolutely a beauty. The profile didn't lie. He seemed like he has always been the perfect picture of beauty. His hair was long and black, and it sat somewhere just above his shoulders, where it was gathered behind his right ear. He has milky skin but pale as it is. A small mole under his 'toothless' eye from his favorite cartoon "How to train your dragon", makes him even more unique and his plump red lips.

"Cell 05. Hwang Hyunsung -- "

Monika stopped when she stared deeply at Hyunsung. Her eyes widen, she could not believe in his eyes, he was not faze to the stranger's unique beauty but to his face. One of her friend's twins was look alike- almost like him, it looked like that they were twins but the difference is, the twin's mole was on the left side unlike Hyunsung who had his mole on the right.

But even they look alike, everyone can still picture the difference between them.

She must tell it to Nayoung later. What was her son's name again? Was it Hyeop?

"I can't wait to tell it to Nayoung. But of course, I know she knew it already," she said and chuckled before walking to the next cell.

Kim Seunghyun, sitting on the floor while reading books. If among them was behaving normally, it was Seunghyun. He just read books silently and when she want to ask him questions, he'll answered it politely unlike the others who obviously unstable.

He was popular for his handsome looks even before when he's still in high school. Not only does he have a beautiful appearance, but he is also smart, polite, and has a good body ratio and good personality.

He is missing nothing. When he was a student, he ranked 1st in the school and was also the class president.

But the thing that made him looked weird was the camera which was always with him, capturing every sights he can see every seconds.

His blanked face was just staring at the book.

Everyone thinks that he has the perfect face, someone from the TV commercial or showbiz present and noted his perfectly symmetrical face, which is considered ideal in South Korean society.

'Perfectly Symmetrical without plastic surgery.'

'His horizontal thirds are perfect.'

"Cell 06. Kim Seunghyun."

She moved to the next cell and was shocked when Yang Jeongsun tried to dash at her. He laughed like a maniac while hanging from the bars and swinging wildly, didn’t even make it creak.

Monika knows Yang Jeongsun. He is the third youngest among the rest of the Yang. He had changed the most. She almost didn’t recognize him at first.

He have braces before but they were gone now and his bowl cut had been replaced by a straight black mop of hair. His features were much sharper now and he looked much older than the last time she saw him.

His foxy reddish eyes felt like piercing into her soul although he was laughing.

Jeongsun jumped and fell flat on his back. His smile melts away. His dark hair pools around his head in a halo, providing a backdrop to let his features shine through. His eyelashes fan across prominent cheekbones and cast shadows that made them seem even longer.

The lines around his mouth become nothing more than smooth, unblemished skin, resembling porcelain or silky honey.

"Cell 07. Yang Jeongsun."

Monika proceed to the last cell where she can see Junghwan, laughing to himself then he'll point at the wall, clapping his hands as if the wall did something very funny.

Yang Junghwan was the youngest among the Yang siblings and Jeongsun's younger brother.

If Jeongsun looked like a fox, Minhee looked like a cat, then Junghwan looked like a little kitten. She chuckled just thinking that, causing Junghwan glared at her.

He suddenly dashed towards Monika, trying to claw her while snarling. She stepped away from the youngest cell and decided to go back to her office.

"Cell 08. Yang Junghwan," she said through her mic.

"Was those the new inmate?" She heard Nayoung asked from the other line.

"Yes, and guess what? They're behaving very oddly than the other patients," said Monika while locking the door of the cell hall.

"I wonder why they turned like that? I mean, what's the cause?"

"We may guess. How's your twins by the way?" Monika changed the topic, smiling at the nurses while began walking back to their office.

She can already sighted Arnika from the reception, reading comics again while in the middle of work.

"Not so find I must say."

"Why? What happened? Did you fight?"

"No... but I guess my twins are struggling right now -- "

The line suddenly snapped as if someone just cut the line. She tried to call Nayoung back but she won't answer, only scrapping and static sound can hear from the other line. Monika thought something happened to the line.

She trod towards her sister who still reading comic. She tapped her clip board on the table causing the older woman looked at her with knitted brows. Monika can't help but rolled her eyes.

"Did something happened to the facility line? I can't reach Nayoung," she asked, pointing at the mic over her ear.

"Nayoung was just in two rooms away. You can always talk to her," said Arnika, checking the line but when she's about to call over phone, someone answered her from the other line.

"Hello? Was this the ward?" asked the voice.

"Yes, why?"

Monika watched her sister talking to the phone. Then, suddenly, the whole lights were turned off, only the emergency lights were on.

The patients began panicking and the nurses tried to calm them down but it only caused them to panic even more. Monika began worrying over Nayoung since the woman didn't show up yet and she was worried something might bad happen to her.

She looked at Arnika again who was trying to call the ward electrician but based of her frustrated face, the call must be cut off.

"I'll go find the electrician to check the fuse," Monika said and run to the west hall.

It's not that dark since the emergency lights were on thought the hall looked a little bit creepy in red lights.

Monika suddenly paused, her muscles tensed up before she even realized why. She turned around, meeting eyes with the red one. She knew already who was it. She yelped in fear and turned away to run.

She just run until she started to pant. Monika stopped inside in her office, closing the door behind her. She hurriedly run to her desk and searched a weapon to protect herself. While she was in the middle of shuffling her stuff, a painful cries from the people outside echoed in the entire ward.

Monika tensed up but she did not stop searching until she finally found what she was looking for— Arnika's gun.

She cocked it before running to the door and about to open it when she noticed a note that sticking out from the clip boards. Monika took the letter and see that it was from Nayoung.

She read the letter and what she read shocked her.

A loud bang startled, she pointed her gun on the door that nearly give in by strong banging.

SMASH!

The door was hit with such force that it swung clean off its hinges and with a deafening crash landed flat on the floor.

Monika stared at the doorway in fear, waiting someone to come in.

BOOM. Monika yelped, jerked her head to her left then right but her eyes will end at the doorway.

There was a crash behind her and Monika was quick to turn around, moving in 360° to find whoever in her room.

"Who's there!?" she shouted. "I warn you --"

There was a pause.

Then she heard a low footsteps coming from the hall... then...

CRASH!

_______

Mansion...

Ward...

It felt like Hyeop was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where they have to run, run until their lungs burst, but they can't make their body move fast enough. They could feel the fear, could feel the pain and would wake up at the end panting.

His legs seemed to move slower and slower as he fought way through the bushes, trod in the dark path of the middle of nowhere with the mist spreaded all over the place.

But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, he wasn’t just running to escape from wild animals, he was running for his life.

Meanwhile, Junhyuk will watch him suffer with a smile.

It was funny to think that Junhyuk was weak, dumb and most of all... kind. It was easy for him to fool, it was easy to get his trust but yet he can lure everyone in his traps with his angelic face.

Everyone loves him but never once cherish him. Anyone who falls in love with him will surely goes insane like the case of Tomi.

Hyeop though of why he dreamed something like that. He was not in that dream but his vision was there.

'Open my eyes and face my reality... was my nightmares ended? What reality?'
