Kihyun's pov
I was sitting out of the room and waiting for Jooheon, after like 15 minutes I hear the door open. "K" Jooheon says standing near the door, signaling me to come in the room. I stand up and walk inside. The room was small but enough for a office, I see a middle aged man and a old man sitting on the chair, who are both alpha's like jooheon, I can smell their strong aura, they are glaring at me but I bow as a sign of respect anyways. Jooheon was standing beside me, who starts speaking first "Appa, he is the specialised hunter i was talking about". A man at the right nods in response, who seemed as Jooheon's father. "Joonie i am trusting you with this, but remember well it is a delicate case, which means once he is involved there is no going back". Jooheon nods and says "yess, I know, that's why he is the one who I can trust". I was only standing there listening, I didn't know what were they talking about, except when jooheon mentioned specialized hunter.
From a young age I never had a place to live, no money to survive, but that was till I met yejun hyung, he is the only one I whole heartedly believe in. If it wasn't for him who picked me up from that dark, dirty alley that day and trained me, K would never exist. Nobody knows my identity, except Jooheon and hyung. I met Jooheon in one of the cases I solved 3 years ago, his strong alpha aura always amazes me cause he is actually an cute little uwu baby. From then on we created a good bond. "You are the K, who Jooheon keep's talking about" I hear the old man speak, and snap out of my thought's "yeah, nice to meet you, sir". He then says "so you are a beta. It's kind of risky to send you with him, but jooheon trust you so I will do too, but you both better not disappoint me". I nod in response "I won't". Jooheon also grins in response "we won't, granpa". The man then smiles at me and then looks at jooheon "Jooheon i just want to say this before hand, if you want to get him involved, your doing it at your own risk and you will have to take responsibility". Jooheon nods in understanding "yes, granpa". "You both can go then" the old man says. Jooheon bows "we will take our leave now". He patts my shoulders, i also bow in response and then we leave the room.
Jooheon sighs as soon as he gets out "Elders~ are tough to handle". I look at him to get an answer as to what is happening "what is going on Jooheon". He starts whining "ugh, ki, atleast you give me a break, i'll tell you later on". I fold my hands and look at him "Joonie!". He sighs "ok, just take this as one of your cases, honestly i also don't know what's going on, father just mentioned going to Epelia, but i don't understand why would we go there when we have absolutely no bonds with them". I het curious and start think about the possibilities, Jooheon sighs again "please ki, i need to rest, I know you have alot of question, I swear it will all be answered in Epelia, so for now bye. I am going to rest". I sigh and giggle "ok bye, see you soon, your so whiny when you are sleepy". He shrugs me and then waves a bye leaving. I also leave for my house.
Opening the door i immediately go for my bed, pouncing on it. Turning my body and relaxing, i start thinking about what exactly would be the reason that Horung and Epelia have to unite. I can only think of two possibilities, it is either we sign a bond or we collab with each other to take over either Seriab or Walkris. From which Walkris has high possibility, cause Seriab and Epelia have always had a good bond. I don't see any other reason in specific yet. Suddenly there is a a knock on my door and I snap out of my thoughts. I can smell an alpha, a very sweet, intimidating scent and I know excatly who it is, I hear another knock and get up to open th door "hyung??" i say. "kihyun, we got a case for you". I have never seen hyung come over to my house and give me the case in this urgency, if hyung has come right here to tell me about it, that means its something really important and to be kept between us, I nod and let him in. He looks very stressed, sitting on the sofa sighing. I also sit on the side chair, ears wide open to listen to what he is gonna say. He seems to frame his words, after like a good 2 minutes he finally speaks "kihyun, I dont know how to even say what exactly it is. It is.. It's so difficult to explain, your better of seeing it yourself" suddenly he gets up and signals me to follow him outside. I get curious as to what happened that hyung is acting so wierd, first Joonie now hyung, what the hell is wrong with them, things are so off today, but I keep my mouth shut and follow him, we walk to his car and he tells me to sit in. The ride was quite and there was an intense atmosphere making me even more curious, when i finally speak "hyung, can you atleast tell me, what it is about". He looks frustrated trying to form words again "I dont know, it's like all of them are gone... Numb, walking and moving but they can't see, they can't hear, their eyes Kihyun, its gone white". I am so surprised by the explanation, I can't believe it. As if hyung sensed what I was thinking he says "I know you won't believe me, I didn't believe it myself at first, that's why I am taking you there so you can see. Such a thing has never happened before Ki, and it's only you who I can trust with this". I nod not knowing what to say, The rest of the ride we didn't speak at all.
When the car stops, getting out of the car, there was a large abundant factory right in between of a forest like area, I look at hyung for explanation. "this is the only place we could keep them" he says and starts walking, I follow behind him. There were rusted machines, Walls that have rotted and got fungus on, some old and brokes children toys over the place almost tinted black with either dirt or dust, I observe every bit of the place, seem its was a toy factory which was closed down years ago. Hyung takes me through a corridor, there were closed and some broken rooms that we passed, I couldn't see clearly because there was lack of light but i could tell the rooms had tags, from which i only could only read one 'the storage room' i think this is where they might have stored the toys, other things kept aside why is even hyung taking me through a toy factory. While I was thinking, we reach a room tagged as 'the monitering section'. Hyung opens the door and i see a group of people monitoring some computer's, It seemed odd that things like computer's were being operated in the abundant factory. A blond girl who i sense is a beta by aura, walks to hyung and looks at him "who is this Yejun". Hyung answers her "its the K". She looks concerned "are you sure we can trust him". Hyung nods "i am very sure, you can trust him more than me". The girl looks abit assured and smiles at me "hello, I am Angelia, nice to meet you, we will be seeing each alot thats if you work this out well, anyways come this way" she says signaling us to follow her. Hyung looks at me and nods "let's go". We were following Angelia outside the room, and then she took us through another dark corridor while speaking "I have seen their reports, they are almost like walking dead and the blue flowers found also have no results yet, although we are still researching on it". I hear everything the girl said, blue flower?? Why do they want to reseach on that?? Walking dead?? I have absolutely no clue of what is going on. Angelia stops in her tracks "here we are" she says and then i hear a click sound, the lights of the room on, a bit dim but clear enough to see. What i am seeing is something i can't believe, is this even possible, my eyes go wide in shock...
