Twelve Majestic [EXO X OC]

Strawberry

"Okay, what the fuck is going on?"

It was that kind of question you don't know how to answer, despite its intense obviousness. We all shared a look between one another, looking puzzled (we all felt puzzled, because we don't know the answer) Kyungsoo looked dubious, annoyed even; and his eyes flickered from each and every one of us. His orbs were naturally wide and intense. The amount of danger in his stare was making me shiver.

"We don't know," Joonmyeon answered softly, his eyes squinting a little as if he didn't know what Kyungsoo would do right now. I looked around me, noticing that everyone was now gone, and that only we were present.

"How do you not know? How come she's not affected? Is there anyone else beside you? Why are you dressed up weirdly?" Kyungsoo raised an eyebrow after firing up all of his questions. I was quite surprised, because he struck me as a quiet person, but he was extremely talkative at the moment. Joonmyeon's eyes twitched a little, and if I didn't know better, I would have thought he was growing annoyed for some reason.

"Um," I took a step forward. The boy's eyes didn't even move from Joonmyeon's. "How about I heal yo—"

"I didn't direct these questions to you, did I?" Kyungsoo snapped his eyes to mine furiously, eyebrows squinted. He didn't even bother shooting me a sarcastic smile. I figured he wasn't one to smile at all. I was very surprised of his snappy response, and I discreetly took a step behind Xiumin, pursing my lips.

"First of all, you don't talk to her like that. I don't care what kind of personalities you harbor," Joonmyeon sent Kyungsoo a thin-lipped smile, annoyance oozing out of his eyes. He raised a finger up to stop Kyungsoo from replying. "Second of all, how about we go to our given dorm and discuss about this later on," I saw Kyungsoo sending the older guy a dirty glare, but his lips were automatically shut in a pursed line.

"He speaks so.. liberally," I commented with a whisper to Xiumin, and the guy turned around to give me a confused look. I noticed from the corner of my eye Kai and Sehun had turned around to listen to our conversation. "I mean, you guys were so cautious when I first attained you, but Kyungsoo seems almost like he doesn't care about the consequences," I completed once I saw Xiumin's confusion.

"Ah," Xiumin's face morphed into one of understatement. "That's his personality. Even though he knows he is risking a lot by rebelling, he still acts like that. He doesn't care if you would punish him, he still won't shut up."

"So he is not scared of Wielders?" I whispered, eyes widening in disbelief. I snuck a look at the shorter boy, and I found him sharing an intense stare down with Joonmyeon before detouring his stare to Baekhyun, who gave him a small smirk (I tell you, this boy isn't capable of giving a genuine smile) I looked back at Xiumin, realizing he was staring at Kyungsoo as well.

"He is scared. We can never detach that fear out of our lives anymore. He just, likes to act like he doesn't, like he has a mind of his own and a mouth of his own. He doesn't like this situation not one bit. He was probably the one out of us all that kept the scars and wounds over the years."

"That's sad.." I blurted without realizing, and Xiumin let out a small laugh while ruffling my hair. That movement seemed to catch Kyungsoo's eyes.

"I don't think so," Xiumin breathed, a proud smile on his face, though his eyes were twinkling with worry. "I believe he's a fighter like that. He wants to mold his own fate, and he doesn't care if it caused very bad results. He likes to believe he has a choice in everything he does, that's bravery. I think he's braver than us all," Xiumin gave Kyungsoo a wave when Kyungsoo's eyes fell on him, and Kyungsoo replied at it with a squint of his eyes. He apparently wasn't a guy for feelings too.
