Thirty Eight {삼십팔}

                                    

                                          
Seungmin's POV 
When me and Taehyung hyung arrive back at the mansion the next morning, after hyung dragged me out bed saying there's a meeting of some sort, I'm pretty sure it's because of what happened last night. I'm feeling like shit. Puffy eyes, dark circles under them, messy hair and all that shit. Last night I'd been numb up until I got home and broke down. This morning I just feel exhausted. I legit feel like shit. A shower didn't help either. 
"You look like shit." Namjoon says  as much after opening the door, letting us in. I sigh walking passed him, "I feel like shit too. Tell me something I don't know samchon." Namjoon looks at Taehyung who just shrugs, following me to the living room.
I find Chan hyung and Jeongin cuddled up on the couch, Jeongin's head in Chan's neck, fingers interlaced looking so comfortable. Not the first time seeing them cuddle but this just looks... intimate. Something about it is different. 
Walking up to them, Jeongin lifts his head. "You look terrible." He says his head dropping back on Chan's shoulder this time. "So says everyone." I say plopping next to him, closing my eyes. "You okay Minnie?" Chan hyung asks, his voice full of concern, and I just nod. Few more scents and footsteps come in the living room, taking seats in different places. 
"Well looks like everyone's here, let's begin." When I hear uncle Seojoon speak, I open my eyes. Only to look straight into Changbin's. He's directly opposite me. He has an apologetic look on his face. Through the bond, feelings of guilt hit me. Good. At least I'm not the only one feeling shitty. But despite knowing that, it doesn't make me feel better. 
Looking around I see where everyone is sitting. Namjoon, Seokjin and Changbin on couch, Felix on the two-seater sofa with Hyunjin next to him looking like he'd be anywhere but near him. Taehyung on the armrest of the sofa, with Seojoon and Jaemee on the loveseat. This is going to be a long day. 
"Jae has filled me up on the happenings that occurred yesterday in my absence. Hyunjin care to explain why you attacked our guest?" Seojoon says narrowing his eyes at Hyunjin. "No. I do not care to explain why I attacked him. He's not welcome here." Hyunjin answers glaring at his dad. This kid really had a big ego. 
"I will ask you one last time Hyunjin. Why did you attack him?"
"And I said I won't be answering that question." He says stubbornly.
"Hwang Sam Hyunjin!" His dad growls. Honestly, where they learned to growl like that is beyond me.
(You know you're in trouble when a parent calls you by your full name)
Hyunjin's gaze darkens, his jaw clenching, expression stonic. "Impulse." One word comes out and he's done. I look back and forth between them both, trying to figure out who will speak first. 
Uncle Seojoon cracks first. "You attacked him out of impulse? You realize you attacked your cousin's mate out of impulse?!" I wince when he says it like that. 'Mate? He doesn't want to be my mate samchon.' I think to myself. Or least I think I do. When all of heads turn to me I realize I said it out loud. 
Uncle Seojoon looks at Changbin who's face is expressionless, not giving anything away. "Is it true? Do you also wish to break off the mateship?" Everyone turns to look at Changbin, who's looking at Felix. Felix's looking at his fingers. As Changbin opens his mouth to speak, a phone starts ringing, sounding very loud in the room as it became silent waiting for Changbin's answer.
Only as if realizing, Changbin grabs his phone from the side table where he'd tossed, frowning before silencing it. He looks towards Felix, his expression softening. "Yes. I want to break it off." I feel my heart squeeze in my chest but I ignore it. Stupid heart. Stupid feelings. 
"But you know that's impossible." Chan hyung interrupts. "Felix and Hyunjin tried and it didn't work. How are you planning on ending it?"
"I'm not." Changbin says shrugging, looking almost... relaxed. I'm bewildered. "I want to break it off but not for the reasons you think. I just want to protect him. He knows what our pack is like. If they find out about him...." He trails off, his voice full of hurt. He looks at me a small smile tagging at his lips. "I can't risk him being hurt."
My heart is pounding in my ears. Did I hear him right? He's afraid that I'll get hurt? I'm touched. "That's why I need to take Felix back with me." He says looking back at my uncle. "But that's up to Felix now, don't you think so, Venture?" He says addressing uncle Seojoon but his eyes shift to Felix. "Yes I suppose so." Seojoon replies nonchalantly.
After a few moments of silence the doorbell rings. I watch as the butler goes to open the door.
"Is anyone expecting someone?" Jaemee asks looking around the room. A few Nos are heard around the room. "I'll go check it out." I stand heading to the door before anyone says anything. Never in a million years was I prepared for the people standing on the other side of the door. 
"Minho hyung......" 
My voice comes out as a whisper. I'm in disbelief. Minho and Jisung are the last people I'm expecting to see in a vampire clan, let alone the Hwangs' doorstep. Standing beside them is my dad, looking mad as hell. 
Well fuck. I'm screwed.
