chapter one (1/1)

" Therefore the lord does not rejoice over the young men, and has not compassion of their fatherless and widows; for everyone is godless and evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still"                                                              Isaiah 9:17- "...And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled. So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, “Why are your faces "...-Mr. BaekHyun why did you stop? Please read the next verse.- " They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.” So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me, and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes. Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.” Then Joseph said to him...-Well, perfect at least you haven't forgotten how to read- Teacher JongIn said sarcastically. -But tell me, If you were Joseph, how will you interpret the pharaoh's dream?BaekHyun frozed looking at his bible, he tried to find the answer, and of course the answere was right there a line below. And BaekHyun would have know if he. Had read the text the last night, but he didn't because he was too busy trying to spy to the soccer players in the showers. BaekHyun knew the consequences of his actions and now his executioner was in front of him; Kim JongIn, the younger teacher, tall, slim and very " charming" according to the female teachers.The true is that JongIn was the only teacher who dared to tell a joke during the class, or hesitated to do a test that all know he would never do but when he does the exams is sure that everyone will fail with the exception of KyungSoo and maybe Luhan.BaekHyun Had become the "favorite" from the first day of JongIn's class , because according to his classmates BaekHyun recives all the attention of the teacher who always is looking for the chance to make sufer to BaekHyun from order to him to sweep the classroom, to write a page with the phrase: I must be respectful with the teacher. BaekHyun wanted to shout him that he wasn't the only student in the classroo, that there were other boys and all of them know the answers of those stupid questions that he ask to him evryday. Yes, he wanted but he hasn't the enough courage.-I haven't eagerness, your classmates and I will wait untilyou deign to answer, isn't it guys?- The room was full of jokes and some other throw a ball of paper to BaekHyun's head. BaekHyun then answered as he does in all JongIn classes.-I don't know, I don't know how to answer- said BaekHyun.-Mr Byun, I am tired, really annoying of hear the same phrase "I don't know" at last be innovative, you are boring me...well, we are here to learn so Mr. KyungSoo make us the honor to answer this question properly.-I interprete both dreams as the same way as Joseph did. Usually dreams represents our desires, our fears and events form the past, the present and even the future, also according to the history in that moment the pharaoh was afraid of a posible shortage...BaekHyun laid over his desk, his eyes closed slowly.-...That's why I think that the dream was a prophecy that was encoded in the elements of the dream and you can check later when strange things begin to happen in Egypt...It was almost eleven o'clock, the class was about to end. BaekHyun had fallen asleep at some point when KyungSoo's voice had been done far. Then, a beautiful sound -the bell- and a warm hand over his neck awoke him.Baek, is time to go, the teacher JongIn is giving the exams that we did the last week - Luhan said.-Look, mr. nerd is coming- BaekHyun said.-hey, KyungSoo how did it go?- Luhan asked.-fine, I got a ten but the others very bad. The highest grade was five.- In that moment teacher JongIn called to KyungSoo. - I have to go now, BaekHyun good luck.-here, your exams- JongIn said and he gone with KyungSoo. BaekHyun sat on the teacher's desk and stared at Luhan.-open yours first- BaekHyun said. Luhan opened his exam nd found a big nine.-I have a nine. -luhan said a little disapointed.-Really? Thanks dear lord, a nine, I got a nine.-why are you so happy? If you haven't open yours how do you know that is a nine?-Beause I copied your exam.- BaekHyun said.-why? We studied for this exam during a week, you didn't need to copy me.-You are wrong, you were studing but I was thinking about him all that time.-who? ...forget it, just open yours.-okay...I got a... 4,5?- BaekHyun screamed.-see, there is a note behind, read it."Byun BaekHyun, I am younger than you but I am not stupid, I saw you copying of LuHan's exam. If you haven't found yet let me tell you that the exams were different to each student, so I guess that you didn't read. So the grade is divided in two because Luhan wanted to share the nine"-I have a note too: Your answers are amazing Mr Luhan but is a pity that you are sharing it with your friend, good lucky in the next exam because you dosen't desrve this 4,5.-Sorry- BaekHyun said.- BaekHyun idiot I'm gonna kill you, and God will forgive me.-I won't do that again.- Of course you won't, I am not gonna let you copy me. Better get out of here before I hit you.Baekhyun and Luhan went to the courtyard of the building where the different subjects are performed. The fourth year students seemed exhausted of academy the opposite from the first grade students that still wears the uniform with pride and smiled enthusiastically to teachers and priests; and then were those of last year that are in several types: intellectuals, religious, athletes and rebels and they were all so different but one thing they all had in common from children to the nearly men and that thing were his gifts, those that would help to build a better world in search of the desired utopia.They sat on the swings while singing an old Song.-You're such an idiot.-Sorry, I'll do anything you ask, I will .-I want you to study, it's our last year, I do not want you to stay here suffering because of that other idiot. At least we are going to suffer together at the end of this year.-Wheat may be worse than this? At least when I lived in the street I could do whatever I wanted.-I do not know, I can't remember too much of my life before coming here.- ... This is the patio, you can come here to relax and get some rest ...-Look, They bring more kids to this place, from where? Do you think they come for their own or they were recruited?-I do not know- Luhan saw at each of the new guys, there two small children maybe of twelve years they seemed alike so could be twins, then a child who wore glasses- the new Kyungsoo - The rest had nothing in particular, just typical new kids.- Forgive my delay, I forgot something in the car - A guy said and bowed.-Ok, but do not repeat- The teacher Lee said.-Wow, who is him? He dosen't seem to be a new boy, but I had never seen in the academy before -. Baekhyun said, when he saw to Luhan he was staring at the boy and mouth ajar- He is cute, isn't him? - Baekhyun whispered in luHan's ear.- Who? - Luhan said selfless.-The guy just arrived, the only one that you has not stopped looking at.-What? No, he doesn't -. Luhan felt embarrassed, the truth is that he did not like that Baekhyun knew about him so well, because he did not want to admit that this guy had given him a strange feeling, but maybe love at first sight was a myth sponsored by fairytales, this was real life, no love for them at least insiders boys, outsiders boys had a chance. As Baekhyun used to say that feeling was wrong.- ... Remember that you can not leave without permission, also you will know eventually that there aren't reasons to leave this beautiful academy.Luhan continued looking at that guy, this time with more detail, he started his brown hair, it looked soft, were falling over his forehead a few strands that made him even more pretty to see, Luhan continued by his deep eyes almost as bright as galaxies and luhan although not exactly know how galaxies were but he suposed that galaxies should have the color of the boy's eyes, his eyelashes were long, his pretty eyebrows his beautiful nose and lips were perfectly drawn over his face, his whole face was a work of art, or how KyungSoo says: a "wonder of genetics" but what actually lovely to see were his cheeks that were eager to be petted.-I think that he may be older than us, and I can not deny that he has an excellent ass. - Baekhyun said.- Lu, you know what else seems good in hin - BaekHyun said with a mischievous look.-No, and I don't want to know -. Luhan said-Come on.- Where?-To meet the new guys- Baekhyun grabbed LuHan by the arm and led him to where those guys were.-Hello, teacher Lee, Luhan and I realized that you brought all this guys, so it would be an honor if we can talk with them.-Sure, will be perfect if I would also like to tell them how things are here.-We will- Luhan said. - Hi guys, welcome to the academy, I'm Luhan, I am a student of dreams and my gift allows me to see ghosts.-Do you want to ask a question to Luhan?- the teacher asked.-How old are you? -a child asked-18.-Do you have a girlfriend? Asked another.-No, I haven't.- Guys enough! I meant another kind of questions- teacher said.-I have a question-said the boy. His voice was sweet and melodious -Do you can see ghosts?-Yes, I can see them and talk to them, of course if they wish.-Do you can search for someone specific who has died?-Is complicated but is possible, it requires a lot of concentration and ... other sacrifices. -There are evil spirits?If God exists, there exists the sky? And if the devil also exists, hell exists?-Talk about of good and evil is a very broad topic, but if they exist. It's like believing in God and not believe in the devil you believe in both or you do not believe in none, all the decisions we make every day are based on that, the choice of good and evil, there are things that need the existece of something else to be.-Is enough! Minseok how do you dare to ask that kind of uestions? God is not a supposition is real, and Luhan you are not authorized to answer such questions. -Cried the teacher.-Luhan is my turn. My name is Byun Baekhyun, I am18, I'm a student of dreams like Luhan and my gift is telekinesis.-what is that?- asked the boys.-I will give one example Baekhyun I grabbed a stone on the palm of a child, then closed his eyes and began to levitate the stone while he opened his eyes.- great!- the boys said except for Minseok he placed the headphones on his ears and he was not paying attention, he was writing in a red notebook.- Is it magic?-It's not magic, it's telekinesis, the power to move objects with the mind, in theory all humans are able to do but I can do it easily.BaekHyun loves to show off and could do with his gift; he knew his popularity would ruin if they knew his secret, the secre that only Luhan knows. People Would laugh, he would return to not talk to him, and if the father superior found out probably kill him, yes, they would kill, as they did ten years ago when they found Minhyun having sex with one of the acolytes of the chapel, they flogged MinHyun to death and condemned to the acolyte to suffer in hell. Baekhyun was just a child when he had to see that and although his memories of childhood he remember the sweaty, bloody body of Minhyun and evryone told him that men should not love another man, he loved his sexuality, no matter.As soon as the bell rang the teacher said tha she should go to a meeting of teachers. -Guys when the bell rings again you must go to the library this right on the first floor, remain here with Luhanand BaekHyun.-well now she's gone ... I am goin to tell the truth - Baekhyun put a serious face. -As soon enter to the library will be able to ever get out of here and no other side, they think that go to the street is bad for us. Is forbidden to go to the girl's academy , but if you can go you should not drink alcohol, smoke, have sex with them, or otherwise have a different sexual orientation because the will know. You will be the next years of your lifes listening to the word God and sin every two minutes if that is not enough wait until know the demon of kim Jongin. Two words: run away.-Is not so bad- Luhan said, but was a lie.-Mr Baekhyun we have come to contribute to the utopia. God has blessed us, we are the elect. If we should turn away from worldly pleasures we will. None of us will escape, we'll stay-as soon as the child finished speaking the second bell rang. Children quickly left.-Perfect, Now brainwashed -Baekhyun said. Luhan noticed Minseok was still there.-Are you going to go? Baekhyun asked.- -Luhan ... - Luhan nodded -is there a hell?-Eh? ... Heaven and hell are metaphorical representations of the destiny of the soul, if you were good your soul can rest, if your were bad your soul can suffers, I can't say that there is a specific place called hell. the spirits that talk with me are in the middle ; they were not bad but never bothered to do something good.-Is there any chance to save souls? Sinful?-Purify the spirit, but not serve if the person when was alive never repented.Minseok remained some minutes in silence.-what will you do?- I should stay - Minseok went to the library.-he's an idiot could have escaped-Baekhyun noticed Luhan was still looking at Minseok -. but at least you'll have him around, the guy seems interested in knowing about your witchcraft.- are not witchcraft ... What will you do in the afternoon?-Study, and you? -I will teach some classes of spirits to the nuns. See you later.t was five in the afternoon, Minseok didn't know how he had not slept, he really did not care about classes, schedules, or rules he only cared to know how he could get out of that place before 8 pm.- hey are you going to take note? - Asked a guy who was sat at his side. No, said Minseok without look at the boy.My name Oh Sehun said the boy. Minseok look and continued reading without saying a word.-can I take your pen? Mine is over-Minseok was irritated, he take the pen and gave it without to SeHun.After he finish reading a chapter of his book he saw the boy, he looked quite young, why he had smile in his face? Why seemed excited waiting for his sentence? Or maybe he is stupid? Minseok choose the last option Sehun was stupid, what Baekhyun said was true that was the end, the end of freedom, Minseok didn't know if I could bear to live the next years of his life there, follow the rules wasn't his style, but if Luhan said was true he should remain there until he reach his goal.His mind was distracted and started thinking about various things like happiness of Sehun, which he needed a little, then fear, fear of the truth to accept who he is, then the panic of being long time in this prison called academy, then thought of the beauty of ... Luhan. Minseok closed his eyes and didn't allow himself to think about it. He came to the academy to fulfill his mission no to make friends. Although the feeling that transmits Luhan felt pretty good.When the boys began to leave Minseok realized that the meeting had ended, grabbed his bag and he headed to the door when someone stopped him.-Wait, let me give you your pen- Minseok took the pen.-Hey, do not go- Sehun said.-what do you want ?- Minseok asked.-I want to talk, you and me, we're new here, I think we can be friends.-I don't have time, maybe nex time-Sehun bend his head, the nice smile he had worn all the time vanished in a second. Minseok returned the pen. -Sehun ... Keep it ... I'm just nervous.-do you need anything? I'll help -. Sehun said.-Yes, but you must be quite. I need you to find out a phone.-A phone? Understood, I'll look.-Thank you.   Minseok ran up to the teachers room ,  few of them were drinking coffee, when his eyes met the phone ducked and moved cautiously to take up under the desk.-555- 373 ... -hi -  Minseok whipered.- Yes ? Wait ... I said no , no returns , you idiot, I said no , wthat ? your mother is the bitch .Boss? - said  Minseok -I am XiuMin ,  I call because I can not go to work today .- brat where are you? How dare you to  say you're going to fail, do not even think , today not , you know that they paid,  so bring your damn ass here right now.-Eh? ok- Minseok said.Suddenly the teacher Lee appeared and pulled MinSeok from the ear.- Rule number 37: it is forbidden to use the phone without permission .-sorry , I .... Hands- shouted the teacher, Minseok obeyed and spread his hands , the teacher took a wooden ruler from the desk and looked at him.is a joke? - before he knew his hands were receivingthe  pain of the wood against his skin,MinSeok lost the count after 30 then he realized that His hands began to bleed.- nothing here is a joke, now go to sleep.Minseok walked to the lake was beautiful and the roses that were growing near made ​​him look even more beautiful the moon reflected on water , it was a perfect setting. Minseok introduced her hands in the water contact was stained a beautiful crimson , though I thought that the water worked only got his hands were burning more and more, the water was almost burned . While struggling with the pain someone came up behind was Luhan . He walked and looked distracted talking to someone , that's when he remembered that luhan Minseok could talk to ghosts.- Luhan ? ... - Luhan  seemed distracted , perhaps in a trance , Minseok became concerned when Luhan was getting too close to the lake. - Luhan , watch out!- sure it's here ? When a strange force pushed Luhan, Minseok ran towards Lake and reached to take him by the arm , Luhan fell fainted in his arms.- Luhan , Luhan are you okay? are you hurt ?-eh ? Minseok ? - Luhan was reeling and apologized . - What happened? , I guess I'm just dizzy .- you were talking with a ghost  and something pushed you , I'm sure.- I do not understand why he did it , that spirit is not bad , I think was scared by something.- I was scared if you had fallen you Might have hit your head with a rock .- but I did not, because you saved me I owe you my life.-it's nothing , you know? My mother used to tell me that there's a first time for everything , maybe a ghost who  try to kill you is one of those things- Minseok said .Luhan laughed - you're always so funny - Luhan asked .- only when I can-  Minseok smiled.-hey .... your hands -   Luhan grabbed Minseok's hands delicately -talking on the phone ? - Minseok nodded . Luhan brought his face to the hands of Minseok and began to blow- when the meat burns like fire water does not work , the earth is worse but the  air is healthy.Minseok could feel the air going through the wounds, Luhan eyelashes looked beautiful, his red lips wereso close to his hands MinSeok wanted to pull them off and tempted him to stay with them forever, his pale skin looked perfect, Luhan looked so delicate that he wanted to protect him, but only when his eyes met his; he realized the heartbeat, the tickling  in his body and his legs trembling.-Thanks, I have to go.- Minseok, thanks too-Minseok looked away and went walking.
