Chap. 50

Your POV;

After you arrive at your place, you looked around to see it was the same after you left. Clean, tidy. The door looked like nothing had ever happened. As you recall, the door was knocked down by the white-haired guy. Thinking about it, you rolled your eyes at the moment where your hand was broken after your failed attempts to punch him. A slight tug was felt on your hand and you realize your hand still intertwined with Kris's.

"Hey, are you okay?"

He cooed and you can't help but feel something warmed up inside. You look down to see your intertwining hands before look up to see him staring down at you. You give him a small smile before nodding your head. He gestured the house and look back at you.

You found him nod and he let you go. You take this chance and walk to your house. Suddenly, a buttload of nervous attacking your system in a second and you lost your balance, almost making you stumble to the ground. But to your surprise, you don't feel anything hard on your face so you open your eyes up and to see Kris just inches away from your face. You're breathing heavily and he pulled you up to your feet.

"Thanks"

"No problem"

As you turn your body around, you're feeling not so well and you hold Kris's arm, which made him surprise.

"Please don't leave me, I can't...do this alone" you whispered. You were not ready to face Minho after what seemed forever living with Kris. He cupped your face and brushing away the strands of your hair.

"I won't. But I'm kinda sure you don't need me after this "

You silent down. Truth be told, he has a point and so, you turn the doorknob and pushed the door slightly, revealing your (fav color) living room and step inside. You heard cries and you called out.

"Key? You here?"

Minutes passed, you heard footsteps came rushing towards you and didn't think twice to hug him. Key buried his face in your shoulders, holding you tightly as he could. Another pair of hands wrapped themselves around you and Key and you lift your eyes to see Taemin smiling to you. Neither the three of you wanted to pull away from the hug...until someone cleared his throat. You thought it was Kris, but instead, you see Jonghyun throwing a glare of daggers to Kris, who was calm. He didn't even make a move.

"It's about time you showed, Kris, _____. When it's exactly Minho in not-so good condition. Is this your plan? Huh?"

Jonghyun stepped forward and you could see in his eyes he wanted to lunge towards Kris. So, in order for that not to happen, pulling away from the hug you step in the middle between Jonghyun and Kris.

"Don't start this, Jonghyun"

You quirked your brows in wonder.

'So his name is Jonghyun'

"Yes, I am Jonghyun. Sorry if we're not properly introduced"

"Apology accepted. Now can you both stop...whatever this is? Where's Minho? I want to see him"

Taemin pulled you away and into the bathroom. You were quite shocked to see Minho buried in a pile of ice in the tub and you frowned, when you supposed to see cold breathes came out instead of sweats.

You rush to him and lay your palm on his forehead.

"What happened?" You ask without looking.

"While we're searching for you three days straight, he suddenly fell to the ground and we had to stop for a while. So we went home. But when we did, he started to burning up. Key was like a mother back then, bossing us around told us what to do. We tried everything to heal him, but we couldn't think of any way now. We're out of ideas" Taemin explained.

You chuckled slightly hearing him mentioned Key in an annoying tone. But you frown when you heard him Minho was burning up. The second you lay your palm on his forehead, you didn't feel anything hot except for his normal temperature.

"You say he was burning up, right? Why I didn't feel anything hot?"

Your question took Taemin off guard and he rushed forward to Minho, feeling the temperature as well. When he did, his eyes grew wider and the looks of happiness spread out through his features.

"You didn't do anything?"

You shake your head and his smile grew wider as well as his eyes. Puzzled of what's going on, you were about to ask him when a sound of something fell on the floor took your attention. You stood up and ran to the direction, revealing Jonghyun laying his fist on Kris countless of times. Taemin tried to hold Jonghyun back but the general looked so angry he sent Taemin away flying across the living room. He fell down hard and you rushed to his aid.

"_____, come on! They're getting wild!" Key shouted and the both of you pull Taemin's body away from the fight scene. Once you do, you hurried back but Key hold you.

"What do you think you're doing?"

You gave him a questioning look.

"What do you think? Saving them from killing themselves!"

"No! I won't lose you again!"

Surprisingly, you manage to get away from Key and to the living room. You took hold of Jonghyun and pull him away with such strength you didn't realize you have it until now.

"STOP THIS BOTH OF YOU!"

You roared until Key had to close his ears. Apparently, Jonghyun finally stopped and looks at you. You glare him and bend down to help Kris stand up.

"Oh, now you choose him over an angel. How wonderful" Jonghyun smile sarcastically to you, which you're not fond of it too much. You step right in front of him with both of your hands rests on your hips.

"At least I'm helping the one who didn't threw Taemin away! What's wrong with you? Even if he is the Fallen One, you should be greatful that he doesn't kill me yet!"

Your words of 'inspiration' somehow make him angry again. He leaned his face to you.

"So you're saying I'm the one who should be greatful? Tell that to Minho because now that I see it, you rather choose the Fallen One who  kidnapped you away from him. Didn't you thought about him who was endlessly trying to search for you day and night? You're the one who should be greatful, you pathetic human. Because of you, HE WAS BURNING UP THE WHOLE TIME! BECAUSE OF YOU, MINHO'S LIFE IS IN DANGER! And personally for me, I think I would be eternally greatful if a girl like you should have NEVER EXISTED!"

Your heart felt like a dagger just stabbed into it, but continue stabbing them without a stop. Your expression drastically changed hearing that from him and you turn away, unable to think properly. Your breath began to shallow and you walk to Kris who was obviously didn't see that coming, plus watched you and Jonghyun fought.

"I...I think we should go" you said with a stutter.

Kris was giving a concern looks on his face and was thinking twice to do it. He nod and take your hand in his.

"Wow, congratulations for the both of you. Now we have to search for that brat again" Jonghyun wailed and kick a nearby chair.

Before the both of you disappeared, you heard Taemin screaming in anger.

"What the hell did you do!?"

Afterwards, you were greeted by the same darkness again and you feel your body weakening.

"Come on"

Kris then lifts you up and carry you bridal style to his house. He neither said a word to you, probably giving you some space. Along the way, you were just leaning to his chest, feeling every beat of his heart pounding slowly against your ear. Is it true then you were the one who made Minho like that? As Jonghyun's words swimming in your mind, you didn't realize you dozed off in Kris's arms.
