My Best Friend's Boyfriend is a Werewolf - EXO

7 - Florence's Secret

"Flo are you okay? You're shaking." Kai said sitting beside me and started to rub my back.

"No I'm not." I answered shaking my head.

"Flo you don't have to do this." Luhan said as Minny sat on my other side to hold my hand. "Please stop."

"No. I want to try something anyway. Give me a minute." I answered rubbing my eyes.

They went silent as Kai continued rubbing my back. I involuntarily leaned towards him since he was so warm.

 "So to continue.." I said taking a deep breath. "the president brought me there thinking I can do all of those experiments for him. He saw the potential in me like my parents never did. Also he saw that I can be a malleable little puppet and can disappear so easily. I was a kid and kids disappear every day."

"Why didn't you do it then?" Tao asked.

"Because Tao he was experimenting with humans." I answered quietly.

"Oh my god." Minny said horrified.

"If he had taken me too a laboratory full of cell plates I would love to do his bidding but no. It had to be humans. I never thought they existed. I never thought one human can do that to a fellow human but he did and he was doing it in massive numbers." I said sadly. "I told my parents about it, they initially did not believe me but when I went into shock because of it they believe me. I'm not faint hearted and something had to be traumatic to scare me when I was a kid."

"They reported it to the authorities but of course who would believe a kid? Who would want to believe that the president of a prestigious company is a mad psychotic man?" I continued. "After my parents reported the incident some men came to our house one night to take me away. Good thing my parents had anticipated that. They staged a car crash and pronounced me missing presumed to be dead since they never recovered the car wreck. After that night I've been on the run ever since."

A few minutes of silence before anyone reacted.

"That sounded like it was straight out of a movie." Suho commented.

"Oh how I wish it was a movie. Because in movies there is a foreseeable end in my version I will be forever on the run."

"They why are you telling us this? You're on the run and I presume would be undercover also, why tell us now when you were hiding it so well?" Luhan asked.

"I was hiding it so well? Really? I should be an actress when I grow up because I was going half mad every night with nightmares." I answered with a sigh. "The reason? Because I trust you. It's been a long time since I felt I can trust anybody with my identity. You guys are a good bunch. You never told anyone about Luhan's secret- well frankly because no one will believe you- but yeah you guys are good and I consider you my friends."

Silence. I did not dare to look up fearing the rejection I would see. Minny's arms were suddenly around me and she was sobbing.

"Wh-what? Why are you crying?!" I asked confused but I hugged her back.

"because I'm sad! I'm sad for you!" She wailed.

"Minny.. you're such a cry baby." I said with an amused smile.

"And you're my friend too! My best friend." she said sniffling.

"Of course I am." I answered patting her back.

Nobody has ever cried for me.  Even my parents, they were so focused on hiding me that they never really showed any weakness for me hence no crying.

"Wait does Ren Hyung know that you're telling us this? He seemed to be in charge on looking out for you." Suho asked.

"He is. The whole cover up thing is a bit complicated to understand but they have certain rules to follow. One of those is the less persons know the better. So far only a handful knows about me and now it suddenly doubled." I said eyeing all of them. "My brother will be pissed."
