"It makes her happy."Kibum shook his head, smiling. *The things we do for this human girl,* he thought. As long as you wished for it, who was he to deny what you wanted?You and Eli entered the hall and met the others. Eli walked behind you, his steps dragging."Okay, you all know how to play, right? Who wants to be the seeker?" Soohyun asked.Alexander, being the practical one, suggested, "Kai bai bo?"...well, he was more practical than his brothers, at least."Something else, we always do that," Kibum said, stacking the playing cards he had been practicing with and putting them on a table next to him."Can I go now?" Eli asked, bored. He stood up from his armchair.You looked at him uneasily. "If you don't want to play, it's okay. I don't want you to be bored or anything."The brothers glared at Eli, who rolled his eyes and sat down again.The others kept deciding how to choose the seeker, when Eli was about to lose his patience. Then, he sat up. An idea formed in his head.With an cunning smile, he said, "Why don't we all be seekers and hunt for ____?""W-what?" you stammered.The others looked at him and Soohyun said, "You know, that's an interesting idea."You didn't like the mischevious looks on their faces, not one bit."I have a proposal. Whoever catches her first will get her in their room for one night, and they can choose to do anything with her. She won't be allowed to say no," Kevin said."Yes! I want ____ as my teddy bear for a night!" Dong Ho said gleefully.*Oh no... no way!* There was no chance that you would willingly stay with one of these boys at night time. Even though they were cheerful at times, they could be very wild."I don't think this is a good idea," you said quickly. "Why me?""Because it's more fun like this. You chose the game, we choose the rules," Soohyun said. You couldn't believe the strict, disciplined Soohyun was actually going along with this. "On second thought, I don't feel like playing this anymore," you said timidly.Dong Ho made a sad face. "Please, _____? It's more fun like this." But you shook your head.Kevin crossed his hands. "I decide whether you play or not, and you're definitely going to.""What if I don't want to?" you challenged him, gaining courage.Kevin smirked. "Then I'll do all sorts of terrible things to you. And you wouldn't want that, would you?"You turned pale. You couldn't imagine what sorts of things he could do to you, and you didn't doubt that he meant what he said."Fine," you sighed. "I'll play."Everyone around you smiled, satisfied. "All in favour?" Kiseop looked around at his brothers, raising his hand. *Kiseop too?* You had hoped he would have understood that you didn't want to do this.All the boys raised their hands in agreement, Kevin as well. You gaped at him. He glanced at you and winked. You quickly looked away."Then it's settled. _____, you have 1000 counts to find somewhere in the castle to hide. When we're done counting, one of us will shout it out and wish that it can be heard all through the castle grounds," Alexander said."Wait! If none of you can find me by the end of today, I won't sleep in any of your rooms," you said quickly.The boys looked at each other. "I think that's fair," Kevin said. The others nodded. "Fine, the time limit is by 12 am.""Okay ____, times starts now," Dong Ho said cheerfully. "One, two, three, four..."You dashed out of the room, heart thumping. *There's no chance I'm willingly sleeping in any of those boys' rooms, especially Kevin and Eli,* you thought frantically.Out of all the brothers, they were the ones you were most afraid of. Eli, because he was as cold as ice to you. Kevin, because of everything that he was. One minute, they're kinda and caring, the next, they become absolute nightmares. Though honestly, would you want to have a sleepover with U-Kiss? ^^
