"Hey Hyunjin. Are you ready to go to school?", Jeongin asked Hyunjin as he entered the older boy's room. Hyunjin was still laying on his bed and not moving a muscle.

"No", the older male mumbled.

"But we need to go or Auntie will be mad at us again", Jeongin whined, puffing his cheeks a little. Hyunjin raised his head to look at his cousin.

"We have been at Miroh High for three weeks now and I already stopped counting how many love confessions I turned down", the siren deadpanned. Jeongin let his cheeks become normal again and sighed lightly before he sat down on the bed next to Hyunjin while the siren let his head hit the softness of his mattress. The kitsune already gave up on trying to get his cousin to stand up. He could teleport the two of them to school with the help of his magic powers anyway so why stressing about it? They still had more than twenty minutes of time before they needed to be at school.

"Do you know what's the absolute worst about all the confessions?", the siren continued to complain and turned his head to look at Jeongin again. The blond shook his head because he really had no clue.

"They all just like me because of my looks and my species. They think that I don't even notice that. I even heard some of them whisper in the halls that they think I need a lover because I am siren, which is absolutely ridiculous. What do they teach at Miroh High for them to think something like that?", Hyunjin mumbled but clearly loud enough for Jeongin to understand.

The fox spirit now felt sorry for Hyunjin. He had really hoped that his cousin's school life would change because of their school change but it seemed like the older would have to continue turning down love confessions and people trying to flirt with him at lunch. The siren suddenly wrapped his arms around the younger and laid his head on the blond's lap. Jeongin was used to this behavior of his cousin just patted his head casually.

After ten minutes of silence Hyunjin suddenly sat up. Jeongin blinked confused, having no idea what caused this sudden motion.

"We still need to go to school, don't we?", the siren asked more himself than Jeongin but the fox spirit still nodded as an answer. Hyunjin stood up even though he seemingly had no motivation to do so, which was evident in his sloppy movement.

"Then let's go", he sighed as he grabbed his backpack and Jeongin followed his example.

The two boys made use of Jeongin's teleportation ability to get to school. When they walked into the building a lot of eyes where immediately on them. Hyunjin tried very hard to ignore them but that just resulted in a faster walk and that his eyes didn't really leave the floor before him. Jeongin on the other hand was completely unbothered by the attention he was getting for being a kitsune and that was why he noticed that something was different. The people were acting different. Not towards him but towards Hyunjin. They looked at him and then whispered something to the person next to them but it was different from what the noticed the last three weeks. This made the kitsune curious. What were they talking about? He couldn't even tell if what they say was positive or negative but he guessed it was the latter.

The fox spirit was ripped out of his thoughts when Hyunjin crashed against him. Not because the siren tripped or something, no he was pushed by a vampire with brown hair and an arrogant look on his face. Jeongin luckily didn't fall back, which allowed him to catch Hyunjin and save him from letting his back hit the ground.

"What's your problem?", Jeongin barked at the vampire who pushed Hyunjin. He was ready to teach that arrogant brick a lesson if it was necessary.

"Your siren friend should be careful where he is going", the vampire said arrogantly. Jeongin thought about ripping that guys head off but ended up giving him a death glare.

"Ryan, just leave them. We need to go", a black haired vampire from behind this Ryan guy said in a very monotone voice. Jeongin mustered the vampire with the raven black hair for a second. He just wore black, looked like he wanted to be seen as a bad boy with his black leather jacket and the cold look on his face. He walked past Hyunjin and Jeongin without giving them much attention and Ryan followed him like an obedient dog while glaring at Hyunjin and Jeongin.

Jeongin didn't pay attention to the vampires anymore and helped Hyunjin stand up properly and made a mental note to let Ryan pay for treating his cousin like that some day in the future.

"Are you okay?", the blond asked his cousin concerned.

"Y-yeah", Hyunjin stuttered a little bit, seemingly being a bit shaken up. Now Ryan was dead to Jeongin. Very very dead.

"Let's go to class before we are late", the fox spirit said and took Hyunjin's hand to get the siren to move.

They arrived in their classroom on time and took their seats next to each other in the second row. The class still didn't drop the topic of them being rare supernatural species and started to whisper again. Jeongin ignored them successfully. The kitsune was seated at the window while Hyunjin sat to his left, meaning the siren had another person next to him. That person was the third newcomer in their class, Lee Felix.

The cat hybrid was very friendly and acted normal towards Jeongin and Hyunjin, which was a bit of a surprise. He didn't care at all about them being a siren and a kitsune. Hyunjin appreciated that more than Felix could probably realize. The three of them became more or less friends over the last three weeks because they were all new to the school and even exchanged phone numbers but today the friendly cat hybrid was nowhere to be seen. Jeongin looked around a bit and so did his cousin but they couldn't spot the ginger anywhere. Was he sick or something?

"Where is Felix? He usually arrives here before us and today we are late", the siren worried and looked around once again to maybe spot the familiar orange hair of the hybrid now. But he didn't. The cat hybrid wasn't in the classroom.

"Maybe he just overslept or fell sick", Jeongin tried to calm his cousin down but Hyunjin wasn't convinced at all. He just looked at Jeongin with even more worry in his eyes.

The bell rang and Mr. Kim, their history teacher walked in and started the lesson after checking who wasn't here. He marked Felix as absent, which only made Hyunjin stress over the disappearance of the cat hybrid like a parent, who lost their child at a park. A part of Jeongin could understand his cousin though, Felix was more or less their first friend after all.

"We will ask around after the lesson. Maybe we can even find his older brother Minho", Jeongin whispered to Hyunjin to calm him down. The siren nodded, seeming a bit more relaxed but Jeongin knew he was still worried.

————————————————

Felix and Minho were running through the empty halls. The both of them overslept because their alarms somehow shut themselves over night, which was unfortunate.

"I swear to all gods above heaven. I will destroy that stupid alarm if I survive Mr. Min's lesson", Minho said a little bit out of breath.

"I can already hear Mr. Kim's remark about the early bird catches the worm but the earlier cat catches the bird", Felix huffed and scrunched up his nose. Minho laughed even while he was running. Felix's classroom wasn't that far anymore.

"Well good morning, kittens", they heard someone say. Minho recognized that voice instantly but before he could react to it the brown haired vampire, who was called Ryan as Minho figured out over the last week, was pulling both cat hybrids back harshly by their arms, making them fall to the ground. Both of them managed to catch themselves so they didn't get hurt when they landed on the hard floor. Their cat instincts should be blessed. Minho immediately glared daggers at the arrogant vampire being ready to jump him if he dared to touch Felix again.

Ryan stood before them with an arrogant smirk on his lips and Minho just wanted to punch him in the face for that.

"What do you want?", Minho said lowly, continuing to glare at the vampire. Ryan's smirk just got a little wider.

"Nothing, really. I just saw you two running down the halls and thought why shouldn't I say hello?", he stated and put his hands in the pockets of his jeans. Minho wanted to stand up to wipe that arrogant smirk off the vampire's face but was held down by someone and so was Felix. Two other vampires, one male and one female, had appeared out of nowhere and held the two hybrids in their sitting position by pressing their shoulders down and sadly vampires were known for their strength.

"I heard an interesting rumor by the way. It said that you two helped a certain someone pull that prank with the pink substance on us. I think I don't need to mention that we didn't like it how we were embarrassed in front of the whole school", Ryan continued to speak, stepping a bit closer to the Lee brothers.

"Well that is just a rumor. That was on our first day at this school. How should we have helped anybody pulling a prank on you and your group?", Minho scoffed, not believing that Ryan was this stupid. He knew who has pulled the prank on the vampires thanks to his classmates Chan and Byungho but he wouldn't let Ryan know that.

The brown-haired vampire shrugged, obviously not caring about the facts. "I don't know how you did it. Maybe by distracting us? Because that was what you did, kitten", he responded and looked Minho in the eyes. He was smirking again while his eyes glimmer with pure arrogance.

"But honestly, I don't even really care if you two were involved in that matter or not. I just hold a grudge against you. You know why and sadly your brother will have to carry the consequences with you", Ryan went on and bend down to be on eye-level with Minho. The cat hybrid just glared at the other.

"You don't mess with vampires. That should be a common rule", Ryan ended his monologue in a more serious tone but to Minho everything the vampire had said was nothing but a bunch of empty threats. This vampire didn't have the guts to hurt them in any way. He was a talker not a fighter, unlike Minho. Still the vampires behind the two brothers didn't let them go.

Minho had an idea on how to free himself and his brother but they needed to make their move on the same time and very quickly. He looked over to Felix and let his eyes flash to his piercing green cats eyes for a short second.

When a cat hybrid was fighting they always had a different set of eyes. Normally Minho's eyes had a dark brown color but he could switch them to piercing green cat eyes if he wanted. This would enhance all of his senses and make his instincts more prominent.

Felix got his brother's hidden message and also let his eyes flash to his deep blue cat eyes for a short moment. The vampires noticed none of that. Minho looked to Ryan again. The vampire seemed satisfied because he thought he finally scared the hybrids. Well, he really was just stupid. He opened his mouth to say something again but the cat hybrids made their move before he could even get one tone out.

The eyes of the two brothers changed color and now equaled the ones of real cats. Both hybrids let themselves fall backwards and kicked the vampires behind them on the chin, which send them falling backwards. Cat hybrids were pretty flexible creatures. Did nobody tell the vampires that? Felix and Minho got up fast and ran back the way they came from to get as far away from the vampires as they could. They turned right on one corner and took an other way to Minho's classroom, hoping to reach it before the vampires caught up.

"Now they will kill us for sure", Felix stated and ran faster when Minho's classroom came in sight.

"Ryan is just overreacting", Minho answered. They stopped in front of Minho's classroom to catch their breath. Minho looked around. No vampire was in sight.

"It looks like they didn't follow us", Minho stated. Felix nodded after looking around as well.

"The question is wh-", the younger's question was cut off by the ringing of the bell.

Luck wasn't on the side of the two brothers today because Mr. Min left the classroom at this exact moment and stood now directly in front of the two.

"You two are pretty late, I see", the teacher with the mint-colored hair said and crossed his arms over his chest. "Our alarm didn't go off today", Minho immediately excused himself and Felix. Both boys hoped that they wouldn't get in trouble for missing the first lesson. Mr. Min looked at the two for a long minute and then sighed.

"I will let this slide for once because you are new here. But you better not repeat it", he said and both brothers eagerly nodded their head. They could swear they saw a tiny smile on Mr. Min's lips when he walked off but they really weren't sure because most of the time he was quite grumpy and looked like he was done with life.

Why didn't they say something about the vampires to the teacher? Well, because even though they just ran away from them, they didn't really take them seriously. They thought that this was no serious problem the teachers needed to deal with.

"Minho?", the brown-haired cat hybrid's ears perked up and he turned his head to look for the person, who called his name. He spotted Chan and Byungho walking up to Felix and him.

"Friends of yours?", Felix asked quietly.

"Kind of", was Minho's answer since he wasn't particularly sure if he could call them friends yet. They just hung out at school after all.

"Did you oversleep or something?", Chan asked when he stood in front of the Lee brothers.

"Our alarm is damaged or something. He didn't go off so we slept a little too long and then we had the luck to run past a certain vampire", Minho told them while rolling his eyes.

"A certain vampire?", Byungho chimed in.

"Ryan. He doesn't like me and heard a rumor that we helped pulling the prank on them", the older cat hybrid explained. Byungho and Chan immediately knew what Minho was talking about now.

"That's absolutely stupid. He shouldn't be listening to a stupid rumor", Felix grumbled to himself. The younger knew who pulled the prank on the vampires because Minho had told him. They were brothers but they also told each other everything like they were best friends.

Chan and Byungho turned their heads to looked at the orange-haired cat hybrid. They both seemed a bit puzzled. They didn't know Felix, did they? Felix seemed to realize that just now.

"Oh, I am Minho's younger brother, Felix. Did he never mention me?", Felix introduced himself and looked to Minho, who just shrugged. He had never really talked about Felix in the presence of his classmates. Byungho and Chan made an 'Oh' noise and then introduced themselves to the younger.

Felix smiled brightly when they began to chat a little bit and when Byungho and Chan saw the young cat hybrid's sunlike smile they both looked like they wanted to protect the younger male at all costs. Even though Byungho and Chan never said that out loud Minho knew it just by watching them talk with his younger brother. It was something Minho called the "Felix effect" because a lot of people reacted just like that after seeing Felix's smile.

"Felix", someone called the younger Lee brother. Minho looked into the direction of the voice. and spotted Hwang Hyunjin, Miroh High's infamous siren. The siren ran up to Felix and immediately hugged him like he hadn't seen the other in years, which confused Minho despite knowing that Felix already referred to the siren as a friend. Felix hugged the siren back casually like he was used to it.

The siren was followed by the school's infamous kitsune Yang Jeongin but he wasn't rushing like Hyunjin and approached the group of older students slower. Minho had no real opinion of the duo even though they were THE talk of the school. He knew that they were more or less friends with Felix and that his younger brother really enjoyed their company since it made him feel included but he had never really talked to them himself.

"I was so worried that something might've happened to you", Hyunjin said and let go of Felix to muster him, to make really sure he was one hundred percent okay, which reminded Minho of his mother and that was a little weird.

"You just overreacted, hyung", Jeongin commented, offhandedly. Hyunjin just huffed while Felix laughed.

"Don't worry Hyunjin. I am totally fine", Felix said still giggling a little bit.

Minho noticed that Chan and Byungho just looked at each other, probably being a bit confused that Hyunjin and Jeongin were friends with Minho's younger brother.

"Oh, these are my classmates and friends, Jeongin and Hyunjin", Felix still introduced them innocently. Hyunjin smiled and waved a little awkwardly. Jeongin just copied Hyunjin's wave but it was more smooth and natural in his case. Minho had the theory that neither Hyunjin nor Jeongin were used to be called friend or to be introduced by other people, judging by the way they seemed a bit stiff.

"And this is my brother Minho as you may know and his friends Chan and Byungho", Felix also introduced the older boys to his two friends.

"Nice to meet you", Chan said and smiled warmly. Byungho maybe smiled even warmer while Minho just waved, trying not to seem too weird.

The rest of the conversation was cut short by the ringing of the bell, indicating the start of the next lesson. They all said goodbye pretty quick and made their way to their classroom. "See you later in the cafeteria, Minho", Felix said to his older brother before they parted ways. And here Minho thought they would try to finally avoid that loud place but no. For the sake of social contact and not having a meal prepared.

————————————————

After the third period Felix dragged Jeongin and Hyunjin to the cafeteria. They got their food and after that the cat hybrid search for his brother and found him sitting at a table with Chan and Byungho. And again Jeongin and Hyunjin were dragged to that table by Felix. It was a miracle that they didn't drop anything of their food.

"Hey there", Felix greeted the older males when they arrived at the table and he finally let go of Jeongin and Hyunjin arms which was a huge relive to them.

"Can we sit with you?", the orange-haired male asked politely.

"You don't need to ask. Just sit down", Byungho chuckled. Felix smiled wide at that.

"Thank you", he thanked the older and sat down beside Minho. Hyunjin sat down besides Felix and Jeongin was seated besides Chan.

"So how do you like Miroh High so far?" Chan asked and looked at the three younger students. Hyunjin and Jeongin shared a look but before they could answer Felix already opened his mouth.

"I think the teachers are really good at their job and the most of them are also super friendly. It's just that some students care maybe a little bit too much about the different species of supernatural beings", the orange-haired male said. It was his honest opinion even if it seemed unlike him.

Everyone at the table seemed a bit surprised even Minho but they caught themselves quickly enough.

"I very much agree with Felix", Jeongin stated.

"Sometimes it's pretty annoying if everybody starts whispering if you enter the room just because you belong to a rare species", the blond continued while scrunching up his nose.

"I am sorry to hear that", Chan said, sounding empathetic.

"Hopefully it will stop over time and if not you should really do something against it because nobody should be treated that way just because of their species", Felix spoke up again and leaned back a little. The three older males agreed with the ginger.

"Um. Is it rude to ask what species you belong to?", Hyunjin asked cautiously, looking at Byungho and Chan. Felix blinked a few times in realization and looked at his brother's classmates. Unlike Minho and Felix you really couldn't tell what Chan and Byungho were just by looking at them. The both looked like humans. They had no animal ears or tail and no special eye color or colorful hair.

Chan grinned a little bit, showing that even his teeth looked mostly normal, except for the a bit larger canines, which could pass as normal too.

"Guess", he said while looking at Hyunjin, Felix and Jeongin.

"You will never guess what I am", Minho chimed in while swaying his tail playfully. Hyunjin laughed a little at that.

"We know you are a cat hybrid. It's obvious", Jeongin teased while smirking slightly.

"Well, I also know you are a siren and a kitsune because you smell and look like that", Minho sassed back and crossed his arms to acted like he was mad at them. Felix smiled a little bit at that, being glad that his brother and new friends apparently got along. It would be so much harder for the young cat hybrid if they didn't.

Then Felix turned his attention back to Chan and Byungho. Chan was still waiting for the younger ones to guess. Felix had no idea by just looking at the older male, so he used his nose. A cat hybrid's nose was better that average even though it wasn't as good as the ones of a dog-like hybrid or werewolf, but it was enough to pick up Chan's scent. It reminded Felix of a forest with the sent of pine tree being very strong and he could also smell a bit of dog, therefore Byungho was most likely a wolf hybrid but the cat hybrid didn't want to ruin the game, so he kept quiet.

"I know it", Jeongin said after a short while.

"You clearly used your powers", Hyunjin whined and slapped Jeongin's arm. The fox spirit was entirely unbothered by the weak slap of the siren. He didn't even really feel Hyunjin hitting him.

"I did not", the blond replied.

"So go for it", Chan encouraged them. Jeongin let Hyunjin take the first guess.

"I think Chan-hyung is a very nice vampire because he is so pale and has quite large canines. And Byungho-hyung is a werewolf because he is tall and has broad shoulders", Hyunjin guessed with a proud smile on his face. Felix had to bite back a laugh but he couldn't hold it in anymore when Minho and Jeongin started to laugh.

Byungho and Chan were disciplined enough to not laugh at the siren's wrong guess but you could see they really needed to hold themselves back. Hyunjin on the other hand was absolutely clueless and looked at the others with confusion written all over his face but despite that he looked pretty cute, everybody had to admit that.

"Chan is clearly no vampire. He doesn't smell like one at all", Jeongin explained while still laughing a little.

"Well excuse me for not having a good nose like you ", Hyunjin huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. He looked away from the two and wanted to pretend to be mad but he just looked more cute with the litte pout on his lips.

"I think Chan is a wolf hybrid", Jeongin guessed but more or less knew when he had a good nose like Felix. "I think that too", the cat hybrid agreed with the kitsune.

"And you are right", Chan giggled. Hyunjin just huffed in frustration and then looked at Jeongin and Felix.

"And what is Byungho-hyung? Can you also smell that too?", Hyunjin challenged Felix and Jeongin. Felix looked over to the tall male, that sat beside Chan. Unlike the wolf hybrid next him he had no special scent that gave away his species, rendering even the ones with a good nose clueless.

"So what exactly are you, Byungho?", Minho questioned because apparently he didn't know either, despite it being in the same class as the brunette.

"Nobody wants to guess like Hyunjin?", Byungho asked.

"We just want to know", Felix answered, sounding curious.

"Was I right?", Hyunjin wondered, letting his eyes sparkle with hope. Byungho shook his head with an amused smile on his lips and Hyunjin pouted again.

"I am a warlock", he answered.

Felix was a bit taken back by that answer. Byungho didn't look like a warlock at all. As far as he knew warlocks had colorful hair and intense eyes most of the time, meaning you could see they were warlocks but Byungho had honey brown hair and dark eyes, making him look more like a hybrid or werewolf.

"Okay, nobody could have guessed that because you really don't look like one", Minho commented after a short silence, leaning back.

"I get that a lot", Byungho chuckled. Chan just looked at Minho with squinted eyes like he thought about something really hard.

"You really are not the most empathetic person, are you Minho?", the silver-haired male more stated than asked.

"Are you implying that I'm a rude person? I am hurt", the cat hybrid responded, empathizing the last sentence by saying every word loud and clear. Everybody lightly laughed at Minho's act.

"I think I know someone who can top Minho's rudeness." Byungho commented with a chuckle. Chan looked puzzled for a second but then his face lit up with an realization and he just nodded in agreement. This made Felix quite curious. He couldn't imagine someone being as blunt and sometimes weird as his brother.

Before Byungho could reveal who he was talking about, someone called his name from the other end of the cafeteria.

"Talking about the devil", Chan mumbled, being barely audible for even Felix' good cat ears. A certain redhead jogged towards their table with a bright smile on his face followed by a certain blue-haired warlock and another person with black hair who looked a little younger than Jeongin. Felix knew the redhead and the warlock since they were in his class but he couldn't remember their names at the moment. The third person on the other hand was completely unknown to the young cat hybrid.

"What's wrong, Seungmin?", Byungho asked sounding a little bit concerned but not about someone's wellbeing as far as Felix could tell. The almost whole table was slightly confused. Jeongin and Hyunjin probably recognized Seungmin and his blue haired companion as their classmates but nobody had a clue why Byungho knew them. Minho on the other hand didn't know all three of them but Felix noted that he was looking at the warlock with the blue hair and light blue eyes the most.

"Okay. Watch this", the redhead, which Byungho had called Seungmin, said excitedly while walking over to Byungho and then turned the brunette's head to the entrance of the cafeteria. The rest of the table did the same out of curiosity.

For a short while nothing happened, but then the double door was smashed open and a group of werewolves walked in. Their cloths, more specifically their leather jackets with their pack symbol printed on it, were colored in bright pink. A lot of people started laughing at that. The big bad wolves of the school were all wearing pink but the funniest thing were their faces. They were so done with this.

Seungmin had to contain his laughter while the blue haired warlock laughed like half of the cafeteria.

"You two really want to make as many enemies as you can, don't you?", Byungho sighed then he looked to the younger black-haired male.

"Please don't pick that habit up, Samuel", he said.

"I won't. Don't worry, hyung", Samuel answered with a smile. Byungho turned back to the rest.

"For the ones who don't know these are Seungmin and Samuel, my little brothers and Jisung, Seungmin's friend and partner in crime", he introduced the three young males to the rest of the group.

"Nice to meet you", Felix greeted them and smiled. Seungmin and Jisung said a simple 'Hi' while Samuel waved and politely said 'Hello'. Felix started to smalltalk with the young male a little until basically everyone joined the conversation.

While they talked Felix noticed in the corner of his eye that Chan looked really confused ever since Byungho had introduced his two younger brothers and Jisung. Had Byungho never introduced them to him? Weren't they close friends because they seemed like that most of the time and according to what Felix heard from Minho the two have known each other for a long time. Still, there could be the possibility that he was just misinterpreting things.

"Hey Chan, are you okay?", Byungho asked and managed to bring Chan back to the present.

"Y-yeah. I am fine. I just spaced out a little", the wolf hybrid explained and rubbed the back of his neck. Byungho mustered his friend seemingly being a little worried. Chan just smiled to reassure him that everything really was fine.

Felix looked back to Samuel, who had taken a seat beside Hyunjin while Seungmin and Jisung sat on the other side besides Byungho.

"So, Samuel why did you come to Miroh High three weeks after school started?", Hyunjin asked the youngest at the table.

"Oh, my father had this idea spontaneously. Originally I was supposed to be homeschooled with another one of my older brothers", Samuel answered. Seungmin huffed.

"I hate father's spontaneous decisions", he grumbled.

"And in which class do you go?", Jeongin asked interested.

"6B, so I am one class below yours", he responded with a smile.

The conversation was cut short by the bell again. It announced that the break was over. Everybody went back to their separated classrooms. Of course not without saying goodbye to the rest and exchanging phone numbers just in case.
