One Secret (1/1)

"You're in charge" the old man says with no enotion at all and Chanyeol is nodding without any hesitation. "You're in charge, you better take care of my antique shop very well" and Chanyeol is chuckling softly with a warm smile "Everything for you, gramps". Chanyeol knows the old man's health condition isn't the best. Recently, the old man spends his time in bed as he tries to stop his coughing. The old man doesn't want Chanyeol to find out; he doesn't want the kid to be sad and depressed. Chanyeol knows. But pretends he doesn't. He's trying to make the old man feel comfortable around him.  "Also, there's my employee you need to take care of" the man said as a matter of a fact, Chanyeol is nonplussed by the sudden news. "Employee?" And Chanyeol is blinking his eyes in confusion, puzzled while thinking, imagining how his employee looks like. His, yes. Chanyeol is now in charge. "Stop thinking, you are putting too much effort in it""How did yo-?""Know? Easy, your face making a lot of unnecessary expressions"Chanyeol blushed a little, titling his head cutely. He sure has a lot of ageyo boiling inside.  *** The next day, Chanyeol arranged some old boxes in a row. Each of the boxes contains closely guarded secrets, mysterious secrets, old secrets, dark secrets that no one should know for his own sake. Chanyeol too, hide one awful dark secret inside of him, a monster. No one should know, no one would know.   Chanyeol let his guard down and slipped on one of the old boxes, ready to fall and feel a pain. But he doesn't. Instead of falling on the hard floor, he fell on top of something that is much softer. Incorrect, he fell on top of someone. Opening his big eyes, blinking his long lashes he found some stranger lying underneath him. They stared each other awkwardly. Chanyeol got up immediately and muttered a lot of "Sorry, I'm so dumb" while bowing for forgiveness to the other person. The other chuckled and ruffled Chanyeol's soft hair "It's okay". ** "He is your uncle?" Chanyeol tried to get a good look on the other person, he doesn't look like gramps. "Yes, my name is Kris by the way" he held out a hand but Chanyeol didn't seem to mind. It was a bit rude but Chanyeol wanted to ask the other, Kris. He wanted to ask Kris more questions. Why his Korean accent sounds a little bit strange? How old is he? Why there's a frown on his face? Why isn't he smiling while Chanyeol try his best to pull a full smile on his face? Why gramps didn't tell me that Kris is going to be my new employee?  Chanyeol shook kris' big hand at the end. He must to admit that it felt so warm unlike Kris' face or frown, Kris aura sends him cool waves. However, Chanyeol didn't dare to try some skinship with the other who looked a bit threatening and scary. On top of that, Chanyeol never met someone who was taller than him. It was then, in high school when Chanyeol met someone who was almost at the same height as him but not taller. Ok Taecyeon, cool guy. They used to be friends before, before the accident. It wasn't on propose, Chanyeol didn't mean it. In fact, Chanyeol worked super hard in order to keep his own pandora's box locked well, to keep his dark secret well hidden. Chanyeol didn't want the other to think that he is kind of inhuman, he tried to hide it. Those unusual events happened at night, once or twice a week. It takes the voodoo magic one second and Chanyeol already felt a pain. It was spreading throughout his body. Chanyeol innocent huge smile disappeared like if it wasn't there at all and a wicked smile appeared instead. It wasn't Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; it was the voodoo's magic. The doll took control over his body and Chanyeol didn't put an effort to fight it. It was a usual thing, a part on his daily life. It's happening every night,Isn't it? Shouldn't he get used to it already? However, you could hear some whispers. The magic began, Chanyeol eyes turned red, his auburn hair grew longer and his lips reddened. His body became slimmer. Chanyeol wasn't tall anymore, his body turned to be feminine. Why Taecyeon decided to visit him is such kind of time? He didn't know, he doesn't know even now. Taecyeon saw him turning; look mixed with disgust and fear. The hell with it, of course it disgusts him! My body is twitching and twisting. "Cha-chan," Chanyeol tried his best to save his best friend "R-run" he whispered. "Bloody hell! Run!" and Taecyeon did as he told. The voodoo's magic took a full control over Chanyeol. "You scared your best friend away" the doll's mellow voice giggled.   Taecyeon run towards his house, the 'inhuman thing' he used to call 'best friend' after him. She, wasn't his best friend anymore. And worse than that, she was way faster than him. He had been caught. She pushed him to the door, her red lips whispering, seducing "I always knew what you had been thinking"."Thinking? Arghh" he groaned in pain "Let me go, you monster!""It's always monster here monster there, I had been tired of that nickname" she played with her curls "However, I saw the way you looked at Chanyeol. It isn't okay to like your best friend more than you should" she shook her head and smirked "Chanyeol is only mine, don't take him away from me or else" She started to bite Taecyeon upper lip, blood. She was a monster curving for blood. She let out a satisfied moan, hands messing Taecyeon's hair. He took the advantage to push her away and lock the door as faster as he can.  That asshole, she licked her lips and gently touched the door. His blood tastes so nice. ***They met several times in high school; both of them didn't dare to talk. It was Taecyeon that shoot disgusted face and glares towards Chanyeol. And Chanyeol thought that he deserved that.   *** Kris. Kris is the present and Taecyeon is the past. Chanyeol wants to make sure that Kris wouldn't be hurt; the doll inside of him could easily get jealous of nothing. Little did he know, Kris was inhuman too, Kris is cursed.
