Family (1/1)

When Sehun wakes up he’s surprised to see a bunch of teenage boys – just like himself – surrounding him. “What?” His brain is still fogged with sleep and his eyes are slowly assessing them. His brother Chanyeol is there, his face full of worry and happiness at the same time. He doesn’t recognise most of them until his eyes fall onto one of the boys standing near the end, he had dark brown hair and beautiful chocolate eyes and Sehun knows that he has seen him before. “It’s you!” His outburst attracted the attention of another boy – a short one that he remembers Chanyeol ogling. “Not that this isn’t adorable or anything but WHAT THE FUCK!” The exclamation came from Sehun’s right and he tracks it to a blond-haired boy who had cool black studs on his ears. Sehun blinks owlishly before he, finally, stops staring at the guy’s earing’s and focuses back on the rest. “Where am I?” His voice sounds hoarse and croaky even to him and he winces when the sounds come out broken.“I’m not sure what you remember,” A boy says – he has brown hair, almost red – “but I’m pretty sure you remember ESM and uh…the tubes and experiments.” He says this slowly as if he’s afraid of triggering him into a panic attack or maybe he’s worried – thinking that he has some mild form of PTSD. All Sehun can do is nod slowly as the memories start penetrating his mind and he can’t help but wonder how he’s stayed sane throughout the…torture.  Suddenly, a hand assaults his shoulder and he turns glaring at the familiar smile his brother is sporting. “You were right Sehun.” The red-pink and is that…orange.Sehun’s eyes narrow as he tries to make out the colours in his brother’s hair before he is interrupted (once again, might he add) by Chanyeol. “I shouldn’t have met up with him and, and I can’t believe that he betrayed us like that.” The red head (yeah let’s just say that he has red hair, because Sehun – for the life of him - can’t figure out what colour it is.)  Sehun nods again, “Can uh…can I get your names – except yours Chanyeol – it would make life easier.” Chanyeol looks sheepish and the others nod their heads.The guy with the black stud earing’s breaks the silence that had been settling on them ever since Sehun voiced his request. “My name is Yifan but you can call me Kris – everyone does.” He gestures to the man next to him, “This is Yixing and the one standing next to him is Tao.” Sehun observes the people that Kris gestures to and finds that Yixing has really deep dimples and that Tao has hair that’s so blond it’s almost white. “Yixing is my brother and Tao is a friend. His brother is Jongdae.” This time he points at brown haired male standing next to Tao – he also notices that he has prominent cheekbones.  “Okay, Kris, Yixing, Tao and Jongdae – I got it. What about the rest?”  They look at the others. “My name is Kyungsoo,” says the one that Sehun knows Chanyeol was ogling. “and this is my brother Baekhyun,” the boy next to him looks pale and he seems to have a huge plaster on his arm – which he periodically rubs – but he still manages a wave. The original boy – the one who he’d pointed at waves at him and smiles. Sehun can’t help but observe that it makes him cuter. “I’m Luhan and this is Minnie,” He points at the boy next to him, who has really light brown hair. “We met before, at the café I think.” Luhan looks lost in thought before Baekhyun interrupts him.  “What café was it? I feel like I’ve seen you two before.” He looks at them his eyes squinting as he tries to figure it out.  “Oh, it was a small café, nestled into the corner of Junior Street. I forgot its name though.” Luhan looks at ‘Minnie’ for help but the other shrugs and everything is quiet before a tanned boy with dark hair speaks up and gives ‘Minnie’ a look. “So Minnie…” He looks at Minnie questioningly and surprisingly Jongdae is the one who answers him. “His name is Minseok,” He sighs, “I know this because we ran into each other at the park, was it?” He looks at Minseok to confirm this but the other shrugs, again. “Oh, well my name is Jongin but I also go by the name Kai.” “Why?” Tao questions and Jongin shrugs. “I’m par-”“Wait you’re Kai?” I hear another voice shout out with me and I turned to look at Yixing. Jongin just nods, and my heart speeds up and I think that maybe Yixing’s has as well. “No way,” Yixing mutters quietly but we can all hear him, “I’m Lay.” He says louder and my heart skips a beat, and I can see Jongin is just as perplexed. “That must mean, that you’re Oh Sehun – the young dancer that’s meant to be competing against us.” “Dude.” Jongin goes, “We’re all meant to be competing against each other.” I nod solemnly and the atmosphere is quiet before Jongin pipes up again: “Oops, I forgot to introduce my brother this is Junmyeon but he goes by Suho in his choir group.” At this more gasps are introduced to the world and more questions are flung about the room.
