Chapter Four
It was quiet after school especially since I sat in the library in a bean bag reading a book called 'The Enochian Myth'. I was mumbling the words incoherently as I read them off the page before flipping to the next. I was content with the current moment before the sound of rushing footsteps approached me. I was about to flip to the next page when I jumped at the sound of my name.
"Jayden," I heard Shinwoo call while waving his arms, only to receive shush's by other people in the library. His cheek turned a bit red before quickly making his way closer to me. "Jayden," He said again but his time softer making me looked into his eyes.
"Yes Shinwoo," I smiled while marking my page and closing my book. I looked back up at him with my head slightly tilted. "What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and the others," He asked wiping nose with his left-handed finger in a nervous habit. I smiled softly before climbing out of my comfortable bean bag and standing up while dusting off my skirt.
"I would like that," I answered with a grin before picking up my book from beside the bean bag along with my bag. I placed the black book in the white satchel sense I had already checked it out and put the strap on my right shoulder. "Lead the way," I tucked a piece of fallen hair from my eyes while he nodded happily before grabbing my wrist and tugging me out of the library. I raised an eyebrow as when through the doors of the school. "Where are we going?"
"The chairman's," Shinwoo answered while turning to me to let me see his cheeky grin. My face went into one of confusion but before I could ask he spoke once again. "Rai lives with him."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We're here," Shinwoo called making the brunette behind him facepalm at his attitude. Jayden sighed but followed after the male who walked into a sitting room with his friends around a table and the chairman standing against the wall with a very irritated look while staring at the snack wrappers littering said table.
But what caught the female's attention was the new faces. There was a male with purplish hair in a ponytail, a male with a black bowl cut with one white strip that hung over his eyes, and there was a male with silver hair with a scar over his lip along with a male with short blonde hair cover some of one of his eyes. But the male that caught her attention most of all, was the raven-haired male with the piercing red eyes.
As soon as Jayden locked eyes with him, a sense of calm washed over her. Those warm loving goosebumps came back while her breathing slowed into a calm rhythm that lulled her sense into a state of numbness making her lips curve into an undetectable smile while her left ring finger twitched at random moments. Until a voice broke her state of undefinable happiness.
"Jayden, your here," Yuma grinned while almost tackling her in a hug. Jayden huffed lightly while taking a step back to regain her balance. "I hope Shin-woo didn't bother you."
"Hey!! I'm right here," Shinwoo whined while Yuma tugged Jayden into the couch next to her. Jayden was right in front of the red-eyed male who was drinking tea while watching her. She forced a blush off her cheeks when she locked eyes briefly and his lips curved into a faint smirk below his cup. Jayden tore her eyes away to look at Yuma again.
"He was fine," Jayden grinned cocking her head slightly to the left with a closed eyes smile. She opened them before continuing her thought. "I grew up around dozens of men and little boys. Having just one around me was refreshing. Even if it was brief."
"What!" Shinwoo gasped grabbing her shoulders and shaking me lightly at her statement about the guys "How many guys were there?"
Jayden thought for a minute before responding, "I have 8 biological brothers, 5 half, and 3 adaptive. I also had many guy friends since most girls hated me along with family friends and cousins and other family, members" She rambled a bit making almost everyone's eyes widen except Frankensteins and the male drinking tea. Jayden huffed when Shinwoo started shaking her again.
"What the hell," Her head went back and forth a bit making her a bit dizzy from his actions. She was about to tell him to stop when someone else spoke up.
"Shinwoo that's no way treat a lady," The male with purple hair in the ponytail grinned pulling Shinwoo away from Jayden. My head's still spinning so She placed it in one of her hands trying to get it to settle. "I'm sorry about my friend."
Jayden looked up to see the male smiling down at me. She nodded while giving him a kind smile. "It's fine. Nothing that hasn't happened before."
The male chuckled while shaking his head before speaking up again. "My name is Takeo," he then put his arm around the male's neck who was next to him. "This guy is Tao," The male now known as Tao waved while grinning. "The blonde standing against the kitchen counter is Rael," The blonde wavy lightly but otherwise stayed silent but he was smiling at her." The grumpy male standing next to Frankenstein is M-21," The male glared at Takeo before looking at her and nodding. "Then the male who is elegantly drinking his Tea is Rai."
"It's nice to meet you all," She smiled before looking to the side when a teacup was placed in front of me. She saw Frankenstein with a kind smile on his face as he stood up straight once more. "Thank you," She grinned up at him making him shake his head.
"No need to thank me you're a guest," he clasped his hands together as she gently picked up her teacup steaming with a familiar scent. Jayden couldn't remember where she had smelt it from in the past but it was familiar making her smile slightly at the liquid inside the cup.
"Nonsense," She took a drink of the steaming liquid making her hum lightly hum at the soothing taste. "I didn't ask for it. So thank you, Frankenstein."
