❝ STRANGE ❞

It's night since Seonghwa came home, they are all eating now, but the atmosphere is quite weird. Hongjoong while munching the food somehow felt tense and weird at the same time.

'What the fuck is happening with me? Am I the only one who feels weird?'

He questioned, looking down at his plate. The young Kim simply glanced at the two who was busy digesting their food, he assumed that this is a normal day for them. After they ate, Jimin washed the dishes and Seonghwa went upstairs, just like they're ignorning each other.

'What's wrong with them? Am I dreaming again?'

He shooked his head, panicking, he can't afford having those dreams again. Hongjoong went upstairs, next to Seonghwa who is now in bathroom to clean himself.

'I should ask, but it feels like I'm butting in, goddamnit.'

The young Kim scoffed while waiting for the captain to clean himself. Several minutes later, Seonghwa revealed himself, wearing a beige sweater and a dark brown squarepants. His bangs are almost covering his eyes, but he still looked handsome.

Starstrucked. Hongjoong was there starstrucked. He didn't knew how long he was staring, he only caught himself staring at the captain face to face. "Are you okay? Is something wrong with my clothes?" Seonghwa questioned, curiously, checking himself at the mirror.

'Okay, what the fuck was that Kim Hongjoong?!'

His eyes were twitching due to the embarassment he was feeling but ignored that feeling, and questioned the man, "are you and the Jimin guy in fight? You two are like... ignoring each other."

The captain giggled and replied : "we aren't in any fight, I needed to clean myself and we are usually quiet while eating. No need to worry, Kim."

Hongjoong nodded in acknowledgement, maybe he should be used to new things, their household is different from any household. He needs to adjust and neglect those weird thoughts and feelings.

"Why did you left earlier? Jimin-hyung told me that you left the house without him knowing." The captain spoke, expressionless, walking towards to the other side of bed and now, Hongjoong is scared. His cheery expressions were immediately wiped away. "I-I was just checking things... and I didn't know he'll arrive sooner." Hongjoong lied, but some of them are true.

Seonghwa just nodded, accepting his reason, his too tired to take it all. He then, tucked himself at the bed to take a rest. It was sure tiring to visit Unbi. Quite later, Hongjoong had changed into his pajamas and went to the other side of the bed and sprawled.

Their room was quiet, the whole Starless is quiet. He intentionally faced the captain who was already drifted to wonderland, he looked at him, he is so pretty.

Minutes later, the moonlight shoned towards the young captain's face. Hongjoong was left, mouth agape, he is unreal. "How someone can be so pretty while asleep?" He whispered to himself, maybe this was the reason he couldn't sleep.

Unconciously, he went closer to the man's face, his eyelashes, his lips, his hair, everything is perfect. He brought his lips and the captain's forehead together, after planting a soft kiss, he frozed, completely. He is utterly confused and surprised on what he just did earlier.

"W‐-hat did I just do...?"

He slowly backed away from Seonghwa, who's sleep immediately went deeper after the forehead kiss, just like a kid being kissed by his mom to sleep. And there, Hongjoong had regretted leaving Quiri.

"We found him, what do we do?" A man questioned, holding a choker with an initial 'HJ' on it, "let him be. Let him enjoy the freedom he wants, moron." A lady like voice hissed, snatching the choker that the man was holding, "fine. But if the Grand Master knew about this, I would tell him that it's your fault." He retorded, the woman just scoffed and kept the bracelet on her pocket to tell her friend the news.

Jongin was silently walking down the hallways in a hope that he could find Sehun sooner, unfortunately, he couldn't find his favorite butler and happend to pass by an another guard.

"Hello master, what can I help you?" He questioned, firmly standing up before Jongin, "Minhyuk! Where's Sehun? The butler?" The Kim questioned, enduring the pain he was holding from earlier, "I believe he's in your room, he just went there not a long ago." Minhyuk replied, bowing then leaving his master.

The male Kim found the butler, seems waiting at Jongin's room. He instantly went inside, "Sehun, I think I'll die." He blurted, surprising the butler who was just looking at the window silently, "you're gonna kill me first, jeez." Sehun retorded, immediately handing Jongin an assistance.

"What happend? Why do you have so many bruises? Accident or punishment?" Sehun shots questions at the man, Jongin just nodded and hummed, so it's neither the two. The butler continued on treating the elder's wound. Usually, Jongin is the one who will wait for Sehun, but since he went outside, it was Sehun who waited.

While the two of them are having moment together, a young lady busted into the room. "Sorry to break your moment but Jongin, the guards found something outside."
