entering the condo was not as hard as he had essentially thought, but seeing with his own eyes upon what was happening behind closed doors was what he had not expected. a first among his time.
kim kibum frowned upon finding tiffany appearing in front of him, a tray of deliciously assorted desserts neatly placed in beautiful aligning plates. a sweet and tangy aroma softly captivating his senses for a second.
"kibum?" the young girl asked, eyes steady with curiosity while she held the tray to him.
kibum nodded, unsure of what he had wanted to expect or see. he did not think he would first be confronted by jessica's servant.
"miss jessica is in the drawing room, she and jonghyun are inspecting you."
arching his professionally plucked eyebrows, kibum walked behind tiffany. straying just a few paces after the girl. his eyes analyzing every inch of the human. from her height, to her hair and her desirable scent.
they stopped in front of clear double doors, curtains of a deep grey covered the glass, prohibiting sneaky eyes from peeking inside.
"they are through these doors." tiffany said, small hands taking both golden knobs and twisting them softly to open the doors into a brightly lit room filled with scents of lavender.
kibum looked to and fro, eyes narrowing upon the sight.
"is this some kind of joke?"
he whirled around, pointer finger demanding an explanation. tiffany's eyes widened upon the threatening gaze directed her way. she looked over kibum's shoulder, eyes trying to find any possible error. that is until she realized what exactly he meant.
she threw her hands in front of her quickly, backing away in fright as kibum stalked towards her. the venomous look in his eyes causing her face to instantly pale and the wall behind her to loom awfully close.
"they were in there, i swear. just moments earlier- sica said that she will be waiting for you in there."
kibum laughed, the sarcastic twinkle sending a disturbed shudder down tiffany's spine.
"you stupid mortal, are you really this ignorant to believe your master now? after serving her for the last twenty years of your existence. honestly." kibum huffed in anger. departing from the corridor, he walked out of the apartment.
eyes frantic as he looked from left to right, trying to find a single clue that would help him.
"where the fuck have you gone, kim jonghyun?"
he sighed, fingering his amulet. the warmth slowly receding from the gem. a cooling sting emitted to his fingertips. they were moving farther away, at such a fast rate that just as soon as he let go, the faded heat that had appeared before was lost leaving the wintery glaze against his skin.

light filtered in through little speckles from underneath the heavy drapes, dark as black absolutely releasing as little light as possible into the chamber.
taeyeon lifted a dainty hand to her eye, a distasteful groan of disapproval falling from her lips. she rose with a natural grace from her curled sleeping position, hands taking minho's arm away from her waist.
her feet touched the floor in seconds as the sleeping dress she was in fell to her body in near waves, showing just how slim her figure really was.
minho's dark orbs blinked sleepily as he registered the space beside him result to nothingness, moaning a sigh of retractment he sat up. eyes darting back and forth with clumsy resistance while sleep tried to recapture his mind.
taeyeon scoffed adding in a roll of the eyes before resuming her way across the room, drifting towards the big doors that led to the open corridor. the shaded wing was covered in black amidst the lit white candles that hovered in contrast to the ancient tapestries hung against the walls, a faded beige echoing amongst hues of royal blues.
"taeyeon?"
no answer was given for the girl had already left the room, abandoning a rather befuddled minho.
with a questioning glare, minho leaped off the bed, his long legs taking him further to catch up to the obviously grouchy minx. he followed behind her small form while she stomped grumpily, her steps making the most unnecessary sounds as she descended down the elegant bound steps that cascaded from the third floor towards the main floor.
she took a step towards the tall double doors that were the entrance to the mansion, an unsure expression spread across her femininely accentuated features. latching her small hand against the rusty metal doorknob she heaved the dark wooden door, stepping straight into its shadow when the entrance of light beamed in, showcasing rainbows of white against the marbled floors and the medieval windows.
two familiar figures appeared before minho while he stayed nailed to the spot, the sunlight radiating off his porcelain skin beautifully, reflecting each and every expanse of milky terrain. his dark emeralds narrowing upon the sight of the two minxes behind the door.
arching a brow, taeyeon set aside her sleepy demeanor opting to look behind the tall door. what was seen was something she rather wished she didn't.
gasping, she opening the door wider and allowed entrance.
"sica unnie?"
blinking wildly, she moved towards minho. fingers tightening around his arm as his sister and her familiar walked into their home. the door closing solemnly behind them. she looked to minho for her answer, whether this appearance of his sibling was acceptable- it was a known fact that the choi siblings were no where close to one another and in times of need, turned their backs on each other.
jessica flipped her hair behind her shoulder, the golden tendrils falling beautifully down her slender back that was draped in european silk, a beautiful ivory blouse wrapping around her slender torso before flowing down her thighs in a near toga-like style. her fingers entwined with a familiar stranger but minho nor taeyeon could seem to figure out a name.
minho gave a side-ways glance to taeyeon, nodding towards her as an acceptance. she pouted bemusingly before drawing away to gather the clothes that lay forgotten on the floor.
"dear brother, is this a way to greet your sister?" her crystal clear voice echoed in down the walls and into the high-ceiling, the slight ancient accent accentuating into its smooth tone.
minho bowed his head, a near scowl gracing his features at being scolded and subtly ordered by his older sister.
"it is good to see you, jessica. but last i heard of you- you were down in tibet." minho said, words sounding threatening and dark. he knew what she did in tibet, it wasn't something that was supremely acceptable to their kind nor to their state of status.
jessica bat her long lashes towards him, outwardly unaffected by the comment. she walked slowly towards the drawing room, the darkened area lighting up as taeyeon lit the burnt candles swarming the room with its vanilla aroma.
"tibet was such a bore, the people were boring, the sights were boring, the food was tasteless." her red lips twitched into a blinding smile as she and her partner advanced to the chaise, sitting upon the silk covers with an ease that revealed the elegance only one of the minx line would inhabit.
minho followed after, taeyeon waiting for him at the door, taking his hand comfortingly while she led him to sit across from the couple.
taeyeon cringed quietly at jessica's words, she was after all against the feeding on humans. it was quite beneath a minx to feed on humans, that was what vampires were for.
"you would try a sip of those humans, always going after the cheapest buy." minho mumbled.
the blonde snarled, teeth revealing slightly, her canines growing as she seethed. the man beside her pat her hand, whispering quietly into her ear before retracting himself away.
minho narrowed his eyes at the man, he was sure he had seen him before. like a century ago, a distant memory that was too warped to bring about surged through his mind.
the dark hair cut in a blunt but angular symmetry, eyes as black as twilight with a shape that mimicked perfectly round spheres.
minho smirked, enjoying the sight of his sister slightly infuriated. taeyeon settled her hand on his thigh, a firm squeeze telling him to quit this act. the side-ways glare that accompanied it confirmed the rough grope.
sighing, minho rubbed at his temple, eyes faltering close at the tension that filled the room. "what do you want sica? what possibly could you need that it requires me or taeyeon."
a gasp emitted from the petite girl, a wave of carefully played shocked graced her goddess-like features. she tucked a loose blonde tendril behind her ear, her eyes seemed to wisely narrow themselves to an almost squint while her bottom lip started to shake violently.
"is this what you expect of me- is this really what you think i would do. did you not think that maybe i wanted to see my brother?" jessica said, voice lowering while she sniffled- eyes tearing at the corners.
taeyeon rolled her eyes as she looked away from the older woman, she had known this girl for more than a millennium and honestly, she is still playing innocent.
minho stared at jessica, unfazed by the act obviously through with playing games with his sister and the mysterious fellow beside her.
she huffed, realizing that they were not buying her easily see-through white lie.
she bit her lip, her face now becoming serious. what was the ice princess stare and cold-lipped facade was replaced with a softer, much more vulnerable look.
jessica looked uneasily towards the man beside her, taking his hand in comfort prior to casting her wary eyes on them. "we're in trouble."
the tall male sat up straighter, his body stiffening at the words. it was such a strange phrase to hear from her lips, a phrase he has heard countless times before but as of now, it didn't sound the same. the words were laced with worry, guilt and regret.
taeyeon stopped examining the wallpaper of the drawing room, her eyes sparkling with genuine interest whilst she cocked her head to the side. lips twitching into a confused line. "trouble?"
the man beside jessica nodded, clearing his throat as he did so. "i think this will be a good moment as any but,"
the man paused, looking at jessica's warning gaze before proceeding. minho frowned at the man, the voice somewhat registering in his head. it was so familiar, like someone he shouldn't forget. in silence, he spoke, voice weaving through his memories, lost and buried in the confines of his cranium.
"i'm kim jonghyun."
minho's eyes widened, understanding the situation fully just from the simple introduction. at once everything came back to him, the stolen kisses that he seemed to remember from the two. the whispering voices that were stored in the back of his head. kibum's broken tears.
"jonghyun..." taeyeon said slowly, her voice analyzing each and every syllable of his name. she too had her mind at work with her memories before her own pearlescent blue eyes enlarged rapidly. "aren't you kibum's-"
"why are you with him, jessica?" minho suddenly directed the question to his sister, the mood immediately following his question dropped like a pin against tiles- falling quiet as a mime. jonghyun arched a brow at minho, bewildered at his outburst. it was not known for the heir to the minx throne to directly forgo something without a mere thought. but wait, jonghyun paused, the throne was abolished ages ago so in present tense everything has changed. a lot has changed, he thought as he witnessed minho's heated gaze towards his just as fierce sibling.
jessica stuttered, her mouth a sudden loss for words. "i-...uh."
"you said you left him, you were done with him." minho's regal voice tuned in loudly against jessica's quivering tone.
"i never said that." she justed herself, tone set in defense as well as her face, jaw locked elegantly as a queen's own.
"you implied it." he said through grit teeth. taeyeon frowned, still trying to piece together this alerting situation.
"if jonghyun oppa is with jessica unnie, where is kibum oppa?" she asked the duo at the front, their faces revealing such guilty appearances.
the two looked at each other then back at minho and taeyeon, mouths zipped tight. jessica held on tightly to jonghyun's hand, squeezing the pale ligament until it appeared white as snow.
minho caught on, a shudder of fear following his spine. "you guys are running away?" he spoke slowly.
he chuckled nonchalantly at the lack of response, amusement etched directly on his chiseled features. taeyeon’s head bobbed to the side, quickly engaging into the conversation as she finally came to the understanding of the situation. a coy smirk gracing her own plump lips.
"oh, you guys are fucked."
if it were anymore possible, despite the vulgar phrasing, the words were more correctly prominent than ever.
