ERIES’S POV

Outside the front door is a rather big suitcase that consists of clothes for seven. Kyungsoo rushes forward, tripping a little over the steps and calls out to Aana and gives her a big lunch box while hugging her into oblivion. The scenery in front of my eyes is beautiful. One family seeing off the other, loved ones promising to meet as soon as they can, my best friend hugging me again and again while telling me to think of a career that will let us meet again and again, my newly found baby clinging to me and asking me if there is any way he could stay. Jeno and Mark telling others about beautiful places I could get a house, places not surprisingly near their own house.

“Everyone is meeting like it’s the last time.” I hear Taeyong whisper next to me like he is afraid he might die if someone hears him.

“They have drama as their middle name what do you expect?” I ask while suppressing my laugh I don’t want to die either.

“What career do you want? Model? Singer? Fashion designer? Any other?”

“I was thinking about nothing actually. Whatever CEO Lee Soo Man decides.”

“He isn’t as bad as we show him to the public E, he will give you a choice.”

“Yeah yeah whatever I’ll see to it. Ain’t you late? Go get lost.”

“How rude off you, no good byes no I will miss you no hugs or kisses?”

I raised my right eyebrow at him.

“I mean you are the decided Eomma of my child after all.”

“I’ll be meeting you tomorrow or day after tomorrow or whenever you are free we have each other’s numbers and we are most defiantly not handicap wolves depending on others so stop being a drama queen and leave.”

It’s not like I wanted him to leave or come out as rude I just couldn’t wait for them to leave so I could ask Sehun to get bubble tea with me. I want him back and I miss that oaf and I made a mistake. I realized, I did indeed ignored him and I will make things right.

After an eternity Kyungsoo and Aana separated from each other and NCT finally bids their final good bye. Just the seven of them are such a hassle I wonder what the rest of them are like.

Shuddering at the thought I make my way to the kitchen. I make some ramen and a b-line towards the back garden.

Sehun has picked me up whenever I was about to fall ever since we began our friendship. These past few weeks we've played badminton together, flew kites, raced each other and talked shit and it's been a lot of fun. I don't feel lonely with him just by my side. He's given me a lot of good advice on life and being a person with dignity one who cares for others. Sehun has taught me how to hunt like a pro and I've shared my special beef steak with him. He has also taught me how to drive. With him in the city, the moments are more exciting. Life is not dull with him around. Yet I managed to mess it up.

Dismissing the thoughts I sit next to Sehun who is not responding to me since his outburst.

‘What a drama queen and why wouldn’t he be? I mean have you seen his parents?’

SEHUN’S POV

I know who is next to me without giving a single glance.

‘You, Oh Sehun, will not look at her, will not talk to her and will not acknowledge her presence. Let her know she is incomplete without a sun.’

I would have been firm on my decision only if the rich aroma of the dish didn’t waft down and beckoned me. I could not resist the delightful sensations that whipped up inside me.

“Ramen?” she asked with honey dripping from the word rolling out of her tongue.

“Go ask your boyfie.” I suggested but nonetheless I took the chopsticks from her while taking a bite of the delicious food.

“He is not my boyfriend plus I don’t enjoy eating noodles with him the way I enjoy them with you.”

I heard a loud crash somewhere behind but then quickly realized it was my heart. How is it possible that all my anger just disappeared into thin air like I was never angry at her?

“I was wondering, will you… uh take me to the town? Let’s get bubble tea before we separate and start meeting secretly.”

“Why would we meet like we are forbidden lovers?” only the mere thought of being lovers makes me skip a beat. How bad did I actually fell for her?

“What? No no I meant like we are leaving tonight and we cannot obviously bat around publically like we do here in the cottage and we will live separate as well as much as I know I can't live in the dorm with you guys.”

“You do realize we ourselves don’t live in the dorm.”

“Eh?”

“Erie SME maybe an entertainment company for the world but it’s just a show. The company, in reality, takes care of supernatural beings like us. Lee Soo Man has purchased a large area of land for us where only supernatural beings live of course it is shown as any normal place where humans live but it’s nothing like that it’s our very own secret community. We have a mall where we can stroll without our masks and we have a café or two even a hidden bar and since not every supernatural being is an idol the shopkeepers are also like us which gives us freedom and all we want.” I say laughing at her thoughts she really thought we will leave her to be on her own?

“Oh.”

“Yes but since you asked lets go get bubble tea.”

The whole day we rocked on our heels. Strolling the town and buying whatever we liked and doing whatever we wanted to. We came to the gates of the cottage four times today when we would decide to back in town because we weren’t in the mood to be lazy in the house, being lazy while roaming the town was way better.

TAO’S POV

We don't need a new world, for beings like us, to live. We don't need one world government that rules or runs for humans and supernatural beings. What we need to do is act like family, one hell of a big family, help one another and bring everything and everyone we can together. We are each other's priorities; we are our brother's keepers, we share our secrets we share one goal and that is to live.

Okhey I am being very dramatic right now but this is what comes in my mind every time I see SME. We went straight to Xiumin’s apartment as soon as we came to Korea and now here we are standing, with masks on, in front of this very normal looking building. We were ordered not to come directly to SM since it would be risky (I really don’t know why but an order is an order) so we came after a day or so.

“Ready?” I hear Lay ask Erie.

“Do I have a choice?”

“Uhhh no.” We all laugh at Lay’s remark and then proceed to enter the building. Entering in, we are greeted by the reception staff.

The receptionists here are always witches or warlocks, who can one: help us and two: hide the real stuff going on from any human eye that came to spy or any kind off outsider. The receptionist charms them with a delusional charm so that everything looks normal to them.

“Hello Ester.” Luhan Ge said.

“Hello sir what can I help you with?”

“I have Netflix on, but no one to snuggle with. Think you can help me out?”

“I have a boyfriend Mr. Lu” she then turned towards Suho and said “What can I really help you with?”

“Just tell us where the CEO is and I apologies on his behalf.”

The blond witch smiled her best fake smile and told us to wait while she connected her phone to God knows who and after a minute she told us to go up to the main office.

ERIE’S POV

As soon as we exited the lift I was in awe. There were wolves roaming freely and witches practicing different spells there were normal looking humans as well that I think were vampires and so many more beings I don’t even know of.

A light brown wolf came running towards us and before any of us had time to react the wolf turned into Jisung and gave me one of the tightest hugs I have ever received.

“I am so glad I met you early I couldn’t wait. Omo I’m so happy these day seemed like centuries. Eomma I missed you.” I can never get used to him calling me eomma. As soon as I was released I noticed Taeyong and Aana coming towards us with I-don’t-exactly-know who trailing behind.

“We weren’t expecting you guys to be here, I am not complaining tho.” Kyungsoo said while grinning ear to ear and embracing his girl.

“Well she wanted to change her career into a music one so she can be close to someone we know.” Taeyong said and I couldn’t help feel Aana being a blushing mess.

“Is that so?” Kyungsoo said to her and received a shut up and a hit on the chest as an answer.

“Well why don’t you tag along with us then?” Suho offered.

I heard a low growl and I immediately knew it was from Sehun I don’t know why he dislikes them but for some reason I don’t want to find out as well. We all head to the office. As soon as we enter I see the man Chen showed me, yesterday night on google, sitting on a black swivel chair. He looks up at us and smiles a genuine smile.

“Ahh… my boys. I was waiting for you lot. I assume you guys had no problems coming here no one saw the C-family and the new one?” Suho nodded in response.

“Hello Sir.” Taeyong said emerging from Kris’ back.

“Oh you are here as well, didn't see you there.” The rest of the members came forth as well "Is there some kind of problem?” the man had lines of worry on his forehead and had a concern look in his eyes. Then and there I decided he is nothing like the media portraits him to be. 

“No sir everything is fine its just Aana wanted to change her career into a music career.”

“And I am assuming this is because of a certain Do Kyungsoo?” the smirk was evident and so was the blush on the couple’s face.

“How did you know?” Suho asked clearly shocked.

“News travels fast and two days are a hell lot of time.” The CEO gave Suho a warm smile before looking at me. “So you are the infamous she wolf? I must say you are very different from the picture I have of you.”

I wasn’t sure if it was a compliment or not so I opted to just smile and he continue.

“Well seeing your family I want you to get a high post job like them but you must be worthy of it as well. I have heard you were a fashion major student. You grades and work is amazing so I personally suggest you to join Privé as a main fashion designer or a model. Then again this is just a suggestion if you want you can choose a career and we can see if you will excel in it or not.”

Were my thoughts visible they would be an inverse explosion, crazy chaotic turns and twists of light all coming together to just one idea, to just one word. Though they spin in a way that appears without design or logic, they always dance their way back to that one thing I decided yesterday night, to a way of living that celebrates life without damaging what I already have.
