"Our fault too."
It was a quiet yet breezy night when her two sons asked her to read them a bedtime story like what she always does before they sleep. And there she is now, being nuzzled by her two little boys under their night ceiling.
"I love mice, Mama! They're so cute and fluffy! They can cook too! Can i have a pet like them?" There's little Blake said. He was just a cute seven year old that time. He was left in awe when he heard that mice can cook like how the book described them.
"Hmm, let me think about that. Hmmn, maybe?" Yeri said, playfully raised her brows only to be hug by her ever so sweet Blake, which she gladly takes.
"It was just a fantasy, Blake! Rats are dangerous! My classmates told me that his mouse pet bit his fingers! And, eww they stink so bad!" Lenan protests while making a fumed face.
It's true. His classmates told him not to befriend with rats. Rats are indeed can be dangerous.
"Aww! Mama! I thought they can cook too? But! Aish!" Blake fumes. His idea of having a mouse pet is already crushed. He just want to have a pet, like others.
"Oh, my boy! Don't worry! You can have a puppy instead! I have a good friend there and she said she would love to give me a puppy! Is that okay with you?" Yeri exclaimed and beamed an eyes smile when she saw her little Blakes's expression that screams excitement and joy.
"Just sleep for now! I need to make a bottle of milk for our baby Sky! Don't you hear that? He's crying again!" She said and chuckled when she receives a shower of kisses from her two sleepy boys.
"Love you, Mama! Goodnight!" The two kids said in unison as they nuzzles to each other, trying to find their heat.
"Love you too, my big boys! Goodnight! Sleep now!" She said as she took a glance at her kids. There's always an ocean of love flowing on her eyes.
She made her way to her crying son, more like a hungry one. Well, she can tell that cause he's crying like a beast waiting for his milk to come.
Decided to make him a bottle of milk, he immediately gave it to the crying baby who's laying on his crib. She started to sing him lulluby which is her favorite song.
"I remember tears streaming down to your face when i said I'll never let you go. When all those shadows almost killed your life."🎶
Giving him a kiss on his forehead, she tucked him on his soft mini blanket. She's busy humming a song, savoring the innocence of her little angel as the night breezes blows its way on their opened window. her body suddenly startled when a sound of a ringing phone, more like a call rings its life beside the wall clock.
Her body tensed knowing that no one would ring her for a call except to her bastard boss. Trying to compose her hitching voice, she picked up the ringing telephone.
soon as she leaned the telephone on her ear,a familiar deep voice welcomed her that enough to give her shivers ramming from her ears down to her spine.
[ Glad you finally picked up...I already called you for how many times... Don't test my patience, Yeri... ]
"What do you want?..." She simply asked, forgetting that she was talking to her boss. or that's what she thinks. Only received a bitter chuckle from the other line.
[ I'm pretty sure, you already know, my dear yeri... I just want you all fours, tonight... You, screaming my name. You, begging for more...]
[I'm sure, you don't want your son-- oh wait... Our son... I'm pretty sure you don't want OUR son to suffer, right?]
"Don't you dare! Please... Daniel, please... Don't do this... Please, n-not my son..." Every words she spit was nothing worth because at the end of the day, she'll still obey for the sake of her children.
[ Come to my office then. Don't worry, I won't go rough with you, tonight... But if you want... Who am i to disobey. Come here, Yeri... Time is ticking... ]
"Stick with your words, Daniel! I will never forgive you if dare to hurt or even lay your filthy hands on my son!..."

"Hey, Chris... Where are we heading to?" There's a confused Ken asks while tugging his brown tee under his black jeans with Chris on his side, wearing a black oversized tee, paired with black jeans.
It was ten in the morning when chanyeol decided to pay a visit to their friend's unit and there they are. Walking around on the abandoned playground.
It was a quiet yet breezy morning that made the sceneries looked untouched. The clouds are evenly scattered upon the bright blue sky. The humming birds are busy chirping on their nests. And the bunnies are busy jumping beneath the light green grass.
Their plan was to visit their best friends but they ended up sitting on the bench with no one dares to break the silence up.
The brick grounded floor is almost filled with the orangey brown fallen leaves with the kiddie slides and monkey bars. There's also a sand pond beside the mini bridge where the mini fish pond are located under.
"Let's just sit here for a while..." Chris said, almost incoherent due to his quite deep voice. And finally, there is someone broke the deafening silence. He doesn't know why or what but there's something in the abandoned playground that made him stop walking. The fainted giggles and laughter of the past children are bugging on his head. He wants to smile but there's something that pulling him behind.
"Ken?..." He calmly asked. Something surely is bothering him and he wants to let it out.
"Hmm? What?" The latter just furrowed his brows, foreign with his best friend's sudden calmed voice. He's used to his friend's aggressive side so he was shocked that he addressed him as Ken and not; annoying, prickhead, idiot and other names.
"What do think if we didn't tear apart from them?" Chris asked. Looking nowhere, he's currently pacing out. His mind a quite gloomy with the hint of regretion.
"Uhmm... I actually don't have an idea, with that..." Ken said, shrugging his shoulders with his feet swaying back and forth. He looked at the uncomfortable latter beside him, only to freeze by the time he heard the following phrases.
"I think it's our fault too..." Chris said, stammering as his eyes started to betray his composed gaze. Winds are torridly touching their warm skins.
And there's Ken, who suddenly taken aback by the unexpected words that were cited by his best friend. What do you mean. He thinks. He badly wants to speak but the giant lump, formed on his throat is making it hard.
"We should've been more careful around him... I think... If we did hide him on James hyung's house, he can still see us..." his eyes are not leaving the playground that seemed like a haunted now. His lips are starting to quiver as his palms are cold sweating.
"Chris... W-Why do you ask so sudden..." That's all he can ask as the smile undeniably vanished from his face and disturbingly replaced by a shocked one.
"Nothing... Let's just go. I want to visit them..." Chris says while forcing a smile for assurance. He noticed that he's making him feel haunted, again so he immediately stands as he fixes his composure and tried to lift up the gloomy mood circling on his mind.

-Longing for someone-"Blake, can you get my cookies? It's there. Yeah, right there, inside the cabinet..." Konan says once he settled on his bed. He runs his tiny hands, feeling the soft mattress as he hums by the comforting scent of his room.There they are. Doing random things in Konan's room. They were told not to go outside the room when their Hyungs started to have some alcoholic drinks with a Karaoke session and snacks scattered on the table. Thanks to their Soundproofed unit, the loud sound of their music won't budge their neighbors."Here, koniee! It smells so good, can I have some?" Blake says then he gently hopped on the bed. He beamed a smile when Konan gave him a nod."Thanks. Eat it. I can't finish it all..
Konan's POV:I'm walking with Blake as my guide outside of our unit. He said he needs to talk to James-Hyung and he asked me if I want to come. Of course, I said yes. He's scared of walking alone, I swear. I know him like the back of my hands, he's a scared kid. I can feel the cold air touching my neck as shivers crept on my spine. Feeling his hand gripping on mine made me stop from walking. Then, I heard him greet professor Zhang a good evening-- Wait, what? Professor Zhang is here? What is he doing here? Did we miss his class? I hate this feeling. Did we just got expelled? Oh god, tell me this is not happe--"Konie! Greet him!..."that soft whispered of my friend caught me off guard, snapping out from the thoughts that are flowing through my mind with a hard grip on my hand so I just greeted him. "Good evening Professor Zhang. Nice to meet you." I never knew this would happen here... No, I'm not going to fail, not again."Konie! Hey!..." That snapped the hell out of my head as I hear
Blake's POV:Right now, I'm gonna say that I am in a state of mind where I wanna be, like all the time! A place where my package of pleasures is living their existence. Oh, I don't even know how did I get here. Mind me telling you that there are hundreds of soft cream clouds. Woah, this is so cool. And look! I'm flying! I can fly! Colorful snacks! Ice creams! Chocolates and bowls of milk! Where's my Bear? Oh, it's so unfair. He would be happy if I have him here. Wow, is that waffles! Ooh, there's a pancake too! Oh, I can smell it too! It's getting thicker! Their aromas! Suddenly, the pancake's scents were replaced by a strawberry one. I can't help but leaned over the strawberry scent, only to feelsoft locks.Locks? is there a strawberry locks? A hair?! How am I gonna eat this! Oh this is so unfair! Whatever. This lo
-Artof innocence-"Mommy, look! There!...Mom! lookup in the sky, not in my fingers!" There's little Konan says while pointing his fingers at the tiny bluebird who's proudly flapping his wings, happily flying in the sky.The woman, his mother, Soo chuckled at him. He's right cause she's looking at her son's little fingers. "Oh, I see... Isn't she beautiful, honey?" She asked, wearing an eyes smile that complemented her beautiful face."Yes! He is and Mom, he's a he! Look! He's wearing blue feathers! Blue is for boys." He said with a smug on his face. The longer he looks at it the deeper his thoughts d
-Ifound him-"Did you just call me shorty!?" There's a furious Blake said while darting his glare on the stranger who managed to call himshorty!Like any normal person would be in cold sweats on that spot but a soft chuckle was the first response he received that certainly made him frustrated even more.It's supposed to scare him, right!?He fumes when he noticed the stranger's height that made his figure look so small as he huffed his cheeks.He's not that tall! Chris is taller than him! And he's just a bit taller than me!
-stranger's note-Blake's POV:"Bear, talk to me," I mutter softly as I pressed his button near his fluffy chest. I'm here, laying on my bed with the bear being my accompany for tonight. I'm supposed to be sleeping in Koniee's room but he said he wants to be alone tonight. He won't let me step on his room. Lele is busy with something. It's weird cause we're still studying and he's that busy like he's working on something. I'm so alone tonight. I just want someone to sleep with, I miss them. I repeatedly pressed his button and he answered cheerfully.
Blake Dawson's POV:"Mama, can we keep him?" I asked silently while looking at the tiny body, laying on my mother's arms. I giggled when he nuzzles his head on her neck making her laugh softly."Ofcourse, honey. He's living with us from now on." She said while running her fingers through his tiny back and smile making me clap my hands."Remember the bean I told, inside my tummy? He was the bean and he's your baby brother now!" She exclaimed happily, making me gasps.Tears gathered from my eyes and it blurred my vision as I stifle my sobs."R-Really?! Mama, I'm a b-big brother n-now?" I asked and cover my mouth
Bundles of warm breath, touching against just below my ear made me flinched a little as I forced my eyes to open. I carefully turned my back to see the giant, still sleeping oh so peacefully. It's pretty hard to move because of his muscular arms on my waist, and I urged myself not to chuckle at the sight of his half-opened mouth as drools drop off his lips. I peeked at the wall clock to see it's 7:25 in the morning as I let out a yawn. I carefully lift his arms off my waist cause as much as I want to sleep, I can't because we need to eat. Good morning, Blake. Time to get up now."Where are you going, baby?" Deep voice filled my ears, making me jump involuntarily."Um, to the bathroom? I need to brush my teeth. Go back to sleep." I s
DARK SEVENTY ONE: RECALLING THE HISTORY IV"Hungry? It might take a few minutes to serve, why don't you get some milk?" He said while looking at the pan, making me nod.It's getting weird now. He always has his phone with him, so there's no reason not to pick up a call. He didn't even say a word about going out, or somewhere. Did something happen to them—No, there's no way. I just need to calm right now, it's not helping. Maybe, he's just busy. Yeah, they are just busy with something. Don't think like that, they're all fine. I sighed while opening the fridge as I grabbed the carton of milk before walking back to the dining room. My head tilts in confusion when I see Luca serving the table as he looks at me with a grin."You okay, Blake? What's with that long face? Come here, Baby." He grumbles while pulling the seat and I feel heat crept up on my face. I'm still not used to him,

DARK SIXTY NINE: RECALLING THE PAST IIBlake's POV:I hiss when I feel a sting on my back, but I shrug it and continue to walk. When I reached the living room, I saw Koniee. I feel a smile tug in my lips, as I hurry my feet towards the couch where Koniee is sitting. When it's only inches away from the couch, I jumped before I landed on Koniee, making him groan. I chuckle and kiss his cheeks."You smell good, Koniee! Look, I saw a phone inside my pocket. But I don't know whose phone is this." I say and continue to hug him, I know he misses me so much, that's why he doesn't make me go away. He would always brush me whenever I'd be hugging him, but now he doesn't!"Isn't that the phone Lenan bought you?" Koniee asks, as I let go of him to look at the phone he says Lenan bought me. I raised my brows in confusion."Why would Lele buy me this phone, Koniee? This is
DARK SIXTY EIGHT: RECALLING THE HISTORYThird person's POV:"L-luca, p-please. Get me o-out of here, p-please." Sobbed Blake in despair, his lips quivering in fear. The shivers didn't stop to crawl on his skin, as the thought of not getting out there forever started to eat his soul. He crawled backwards until a cold wall hit his back, as the sound of chains echoed around the dark room.His eyes widened in terror, as he felt a metallic thing around his left ankle. A wave of pain once again flowed in his stomach, as he felt his throat drying, desperately yearning for water. He then stopped moving when he remembered the last thing happened before he woke up there. His eyes were blurry and a man he assumed Luca started touching his body."O-oh my God, n-no..." He gasps and clasps his hand in his mouth, as he tries to stifle his cries. He feels like throwing up, but there
DARK SIXTY SEVEN: REPEATING THE HISTORYThird person's POV:[THE DAY WHEN THE SYMPTOMS CAME BACK: REPLAY]"Hey, Lele! Konan! Look! I invited Chris and Monie to come here and guess what!?" Blake says loudly while running to the living room of their shared apartment. "He said yes! But that's not the thing, he said they're going to eat with us!" He exclaimed while dancing at his victory."What?... Wait... Did you just invite them without asking me!?" Lenan asked as he gave him a glare only to receive a nod from his brother. "Oh God help me with this stupid brat!" He said as he facepalms.And there's Blake just smiled, brushed and ignored him as he made his way to konan who's just listening to them. "Hey, Konan..." He shakes his shoulder while giving him a smile. "You're okay with them, right?" He asked, receiving a nod from his friend.
DARK SIXTY SIX: THE SENSE OF THISLuca's POV:Third person's POV:Laying on the ground, were the two love birds, sharing warmth under the night sky surrounded by the shiny stars under the domination of the moonlight. It was so soothing that neither of the two of them wanted to get inside where they were supposed to be now. The breeze was cool, enough for them to find the heat from each other, as the shadow of trees made it more beautiful to their sight.Blake had his feet swaying side to side with his palms resting above his chest, feeling his abnormal heartbeat and the summersaults dancing inside his stomach. His eyes were closed, as he started thinking of the good memories he had with everyone. He's that innocent and pure, enough to get deceived by anyone who decided to. Then there's this memory of them, exploding inside their pants, making his cheeks blush.Surel
DARK SIXTY FIVE: DEJA VUBlake's POV:Why do I feel like something weird is really up? And if something weird is really up, this is stupid. Feeling my head, as I try to open my eyes, I hiss at the pain surrounding my head. I try to sit up on this ground, I wasn't lying on a bed, it's not a bed. As I try to sit up, I struggle with my back. When I got the strength to open my eyes, nothing welcomed my sight. I gasp when I don't seem to see anything, but black.I tried to look for a light, and saw a hole from the ceiling. Where am I… Why is it so familiar?[Flashback]"Oh, sei sveglio, ragazzo. How's your head?" his deep voice that screams roughness suddenly rings, making me let out a squeal in surprise, but I don't look at his face. Not knowing that I'm burying my face onto his hard chest."Let me see your face, baby." He said groggily, he really just woke
DARK SIXTY FOURBlake's POV:Previous…I didn't sleep well last night cause I wasn't feeling like sleeping. Luca literally slept like a log while I was watching every movie. I think I watched 6 movies or 5 last night. And now I'm forcing myself not to let out a yawn because if I do, Luca will not let me go with them and he will let me sleep here. But I'm fine, I can manage.I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the plates clicking. I stood up and picked up my plate before I saw them sitting there while staring at me. "Are you okay, Blake?" Luciano asked, and I immediately nodded."Y-yeah, I'm good. I'll do the dishes!" I exclaimed, and heard them chuckling. I raised my brows in confusion, as Luciano shook his head."You d

Oh God, where is that kid?” Asked the woman to herself, looking for her son. She has her right hand rubbing her temples as she made her way to anywhere her feet would lead her. “God, where is that kid...” She sighed.Tiredness was traced on her face, showing how managing a small house and six children made her look like an old woman.From a small room inside their small house, a small kid walked. He had his head curiously turning side to side, while his sleepy eyes were looking for his mother. Sleepiness was etched in his face, revealing that he had been laying on his bed, and it made his button nose red.A yawn suddenly esca
