Prologue
~AUTHOR POV~
"Come on guys, Nathan will kill us if he see's we've strayed."
The most nervous girl out of the group follows the other teens into the ruined building, dark and damp from it's years of being neglected of human contact.
"Don't be like that Byeol. There's nothing wrong with a little adventure. Even Yunjun over here is taking the place like a champ."
The oldest, out of the seven grinned, swinging his arm over the girl still unsure about following everyone. But this made the youngest boy, Yunjun scoff to then purposely push past the older boy and stomp forward following everyone else that was snickering.
"I'm not scared Junghoon. I'm thirteen now." Yujun
"But you're still the little baby Yunnie." Junghoon
Squeezing the smaller boys cheeks between his hands which only made the younger grunt angrily but yet swat away his hands.
"Don't call me that! Just piss off Junghoon." Yunjun
"Oh, is that how you speak to your elders now. Just wait until I tell mom and dad." Junghoon
Yunjun threw the middle finger his way and stomped off to join his much calmer older sister, Dallia, she'll protect him from the others.
"Byeol come here and hold my hand if you're scared."
Another girl in the group held her hand out towards the still uncertain, frightened girl and Byeol didn't waste a second but to skip towards her older sister and take her hand, immediately standing up closer, shoulder to shoulder with her as they took in the smashed pictures still hanging on the wall.
"Sooyun, Byeol what are you looking at?"
Eric, the chirpiest out the group skipped over to see what his sisters were looking at. Sooyun just pointed but didn't express any words.
"Yeah what are you all looking at?" Junghoon
He stomped over to join his siblings, curiously looking over his younger sisters heads since was quite a bit taller than them. That's what happens being the oldest and of nineteen of age, but his younger sister, Dallia is not that far behind him in height since she is quite tall herself.
This caught the attention of Dallia, causing her to turn around and grab Yunjun's arm before dragging him across the room of this apparent messed up place that once seemed to be a office by the looks of the old desk upside down and against the corner of the room.
"Hey isn't tha-" Dallia
She was only cut off when their last brother ran into the room, bursting through the door, breathing heavily like he had just ran a marathon and was struggling to breathe. Junghoon in seeing his younger brother like this stomped over to him, placing his hand to his shoulder, giving him that support to stand while he tried to catch his breath to speak.
"N-Nathan, is c-coming."
"Kai, of course Nathan is coming. We ran away from the bus to come here." Eric
Eric couldn't help but laugh, his shoulder bobbing up and down as he did but stopped when Dallia sent a glare his way. No one wants to piss of Dallia, she's ruin you with one glance if she really wants to.
"We better go then. I'm already in enough trouble with dad." Junghoon
"I don't blame him though. You snuck a girl into your room last night." Dallia
She mumbled, making her way towards the door but purposely to bump shoulders with Junghoon who could only but glare towards his sister.
"Yeah well....." Junghoon
He ran dry from any names or dirt he could pull up on his sister but she just stood by the door, arms crossed over her chest, rising a brow but also a knowing smirk since she knows it pays well to be private when it comes to her affairs outside the family for an eighteen year old girl.
"Well what brother?" Dallia
Junghoon was still lost for words and sent he grew frustrated that he couldn't think of anything back. Its not the first time this has happened.
"Just fuck off Dallia." Junghoon
Dallia cackled, throwing her head back but yet grabbing Kai's wrist to guide him back towards the dark empty corridor.
"That's what I thought. Now let's go everyone before we get into trouble." Dallia
Kai allowed his sister to pull on him and out the door. Yunjun was right after them, not wanting to be left with the older brother of the group, scurrying along on his own two feet just to be joined with the two younger girls chasing after him out the door.
Junghoon watched his siblings one by one walk out after their sister as if she was the boss. He didn't like that but what could he do about what his siblings want to do. So he sighed defeated about staying here much longer just to send a quick glance towards a framed picture that had dust and broken glass. From what he could make out there was at least ten people in that picture but he didn't stay to inspect it. Instead he left the room that created a lot of curiosity within himself and began to walk down the halls where he caught the last look of Eric skipping out the end, no wall or door was present as it appeared to be blown off at the bottom of the corridor and into the outdoors.
Before he could even get near enough to the end, he could hear Nathan, their trusted uncle raising his voice towards his siblings and telling them off for their disappearance.
"I MEAN HOW CARELESS COULD YOU OF ALL BEEN?! WONDERING OFF LIKE THAT AND TRICKING ME WITH SUCH AN EXCUSE!! JUST WAIT UNTIL YOUR PARENTS HERE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE ALL DONE AND WHERE YOU HAVE ALL BEEN!" Nathan
Junghoon, cursed in his mind but went to join his siblings standing outside the ruined building beside the remaining rumble. All heads hung low knowing their in deep shit. Well all except Yunjun. His head was sprung up when his parents were mentioned, shaking his head side to side vigorously.
"No, please uncle Nate, don't rat us out. We'll do anything." Yunjun
The poor boy even fell to his knees, pleading with his uncle to spare him mercy but Nathan just stared at him, chuckling with his hands firmly on his hips. Nathan knows their parents aren't that bad and even rarely get mad with them but when it comes to the place they have all wondered too. He knows things wont go down too well.
"I'm sorry but it's too late for that Yunjun." Nathan
Again Yunjuns head sprung up, alerted and slightly scared. Even his siblings copied the same feared expression and within the next second the clouds grew grey, thunder crackled throughout the sky and the trees behind Nathan parted ways to welcome the said parents.
Nathan stepped to the side, allowing the parents to come forward, not happy about what their children have found.
"Children I'm disappointed that you tricked uncle Nathan here, to running to.....this place."
The woman gulped as she pointed to the ruined building behind her children. Even after all these years seeing this place, it still gave her this unnerving feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Mom, I'm sorry! Junghoon made me do it!!" Yunjun
"Yah!! You little fu-" Junghoon
The male stepped forward in between Junghoon and his younger brother, hands to his hips and glaring at his son.
"You may be nineteen son, but you will use respectful language around this family, am I clear?"
Junghoon could only nod to his father and step back.
"Yes dad. I'm sorry." Junghoon
Before anyone could say more, there was an interruption as more people showed up behind the parents and came to join them standing side by side, even when Yunjun was at this point standing close to his mom.
"Dear, I think the children need to know the truth now. Don't you think?"
The woman could only nod at him and yet look away to pull her son to her side more for a side hug and kiss his cheek. Even for a young teen he loves his mothers affections.
"Go on, tell them then." Mom
The man could only nod, stepping closer towards the kids, and taking a seat on a pile of rock gesturing for everyone to gather around.
"There's a lot we haven't told you all and it's time you all did." ?
And that was when he began to spill the truth of their family secrets and how they all came to be.
