23: false alarm

Seungmin and Hyunjin then turned to face each other, sad smiles on their faces, as they took in a deep breath.

"Jisung. There's something we need to tell you." Hyunjin said, but as he opened his mouth again, Seungmin interrupted him.

"I lost my mark!" He said rather loudly, as he glared at the older boy. "Look at my wrists. Blank again. As if the mark hadn't ever been there."

Jisung suddenly grabbed Seungmin's hands while caressing them softly.

"Seungmin, it's fine. You will find your soulmate one day, I'm sure of it. Maybe Younghyun wasn't meant for you. If I was you I would be careful, maybe Yunseong's birthdate appears on your wrist later! Now please cheer up, I hate seeing you sad like this."

Seungmin smiled, suddenly feeling better, and just as if the weather had gotten in sync with him, the clouds slowly disappeared and the sun appeared again, shining brightly.

"Oh, wouldn't you look at it, it stopped raining!" Jisung said happily.

Yet suddenly, Seungmin felt sad again. Jisung was such a nice innocent boy, why would anyone want to hurt him?

Just as those thoughts flodded his head, the clouds slowly appeared again.

"The weather is crazy today." Seungmin said.

"Oh my god, Seungmin!" Hyunjin shouted, as the realization hit him. "You have a power! You can control the weather!"

"What?"

"Didn't you notice? When you were sad just now, it started to rain, then Jisung made you smile and the rain stopped, and now you've probably gotten sad again because those clouds showed up!"

"Don't be stupid. I don't have any powers." Seungmin simply replied. "I don't even have a soulmate mark."

"But you do!" Hyunjin insisted. "Jisung, help me out!"

"I don't know, Hyunjin. It might be a coincidence." Jisung said.

Hyunjin decided to give up. It was a crazy theory after all, and maybe Jisung was right. Coincidences do happen, sometimes.

When the three boys managed to reunite everyone, telling them they couldn't find the lost boys, they decided to just rest for the day and go back home.

Having walked everyone to their respective houses, Hyunjin was now entering his own one, carefully stepping inside as he was trying to not make any noise. But his older brother was already standing in front of him.

"Have you been waiting for me?"

"Of course. It's pretty late and you didn't call me or anything. Where have you been? And where's Yunseong?"

Hyunjin felt his stomach hurt by the mention of his brother's name. And just as he had gathered enough strength to explain Minhyun everything, he heard someone unlocking the main door and he turned around.

It was Yunseong. With Jeongin.

"What? How have you- What happened?"

"Well, some weird dudes kidnapped us and Jeongin and I did freak out a little until we realised I can teleport, so that's what we did."

After a few seconds, Hyunjin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Oh my god he went crazy." Jeongin said as his soulmate turned around and held onto Minhyun.

"No, I'm fine. It's just that you're right. You can teleport. How didn't I think about this before? These kidnappers really are dumb, aren't they?" Hyunjin said, as Minhyun cluelessly started at him.

"Kidnappers? What? What did they want from you? Who were they?" Minhyun asked.

"Well, we don't really know what they wanted or who they were. But we figured out that they had no abilities. And they kept talking about Sungwoon and Jisung so we got very creeped out and teleported back. By the way, I need a glass of water before I pass out or something. Teleporting really drains out all of my energy." Yunseong explained as he walked in and made his way to the kitchen.

"Teleporting is so weird." Jeongin said. "I felt like throwing up but in a cool way."

"How do you feel like throwing up but in a co- okay you know what? Not going to ask that. Nope." Minhyun said. "I'll go call Sungwoon. Someone's really after him again."

"Again? So this happened before?" Hyunjin asked.

"Yeah. The word spread about Sungwoon's power so ability-less people have been bumming him about wanting to have powers and stuff. At first they would just accept a no for an answer but ever since Sungwoon agreed to give Changbin that power that some of these got mad." Minhyun explained before walking away.

As soon as he left, Hyunjin grabbed Jeongin's hand and caressed it softly.

"So, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

"Oh, no. Don't worry. They were actually very nice. I even felt bad about them not having powers and everything."

"You're too nice, Jeongin." Yunseong said as he walked back in. "Please don't tell me you have that stockholm syndrome."

"I don't!" Jeongin replied, annoyed.

Hyunjin left them to bicker as he took out his phone to tell everyone the news.
