Demon's Tale

TWELVE

CHAN NEUL POV

"Chan Neul. Chan Neul…" A pair of hands shakes my body. My eyes fluttered open and the first person I saw is Tao who was smiling at me.

My gaze shifted to my surroundings and I just realised that I was laying on the couch in the living room.

I must have fallen asleep while watching the television.

I took a day off from school because D.O let me to stay at home today. He was worrying a lot about me. He even wanted to take me to the nearest hospital to check whether the injury of my hand is minor or major which I personally believe was just a minor.

“Chan Neul?” Tao called out again, bringing me back to reality.

"Yes?" I stretched my body before I sat up on the couch.

"You're going to follow me." Tao said with a playful smirk while holding out his wushu stick.

Before I can say a thing, he already dragged me to his private, sacred room.

"What are you doing? Let me go..." I tried to escapes from his grip but he only tightened his grip on my wrist. Once we got inside the room, Tao shut the door.

I stood there dumbfounded as it was dark due to unavailability of the window.

Tao switched on the lights and the first thing I saw was a guy with his back faced my direction. I knew the owner of the back well.

"Baekhyun?" I asked in confusion. What did both of them planned for me?

Baekhyun turned with a smirk on his lips.

I hated it when he smirked.

I knew he had evil thoughts in his mind by now.

A soft click on the doorknob sends me backwards.

"Why are you locking the door?!" I asked in panicked tone.

Does they want to kill me?! I took a step away from them and gulped.

Both of them shared knowing look when they heard my crazy thoughts. I saw Baekhyun's gaze darkened as he took steps forward to me. In return, I took steps backwards, matching my pace with Baekhyun until my back hit the wall behind me.

I cursed under my breath and shut my eyes tightly when Baekhyun's face leaned closer to me. Our faces were just an inch away when I felt his hot breath fanning my face.

"You're going to learn self defence from me and Tao today." Baekhyun whispered right next to my ear. Shiver runs down to my spine due to the closeness I felt with Baekhyun.

Baekhyun took a step backward and I could finally breathe.

"Why do you looked so scared of us? You lived with us for years. Of course, we never intended to kill you, not at all" Tao said. "This guy could kill me with just one snap.." I said flatly, pointing my index finger to Baekhyun.

Baekhyun just shrugged innocently.

"So, are you ready?" Baekhyun asked, smirking.

"This will be hell…" I sighed, closing my eyes. I am already tired just by thinking about all of this.

"Yeah.. So hell!" Tao exclaimed.

"So do you know any self defence technique?" Baekhyun asked, he put his hands on his hips while Tao crossed his arms.

"Hmm… Now you said about this…” I think deeply. “You saw me grew up without learning any self defence technique." I shrugged.

"You do not know any basic things of self defence technique?" Baekhyun asked in disbelief. My eyes twitched as a thought crossed my mind. I watched Cool Kiz on Block yesterday. Coach Cho Junho showed some basic of self defence technique — walk boldly, give a strong look, scream well?

"I happened to know basic of self defence to handle a pervert." I said confidently and their eyes sparkled. They looked at me in adoration and I felt tensed to know they were expecting something bombastic, out of box.

"And what it is?" Tao asked in hurried tone.

"Okay, so first. Tense your waist, straighten your shoulder." I said and they nodded.

“And then, walk boldly.” I walked boldly while acting as if I was wearing heels in front of Baekhyun and Tao.

I saw that they lost themselves at that moment…

Earth to Baekhyun? Pstt. Earth to Tao? Roger?

I stopped and stand in front of them and blinked innocently.

I did nothing wrong, right?

"Where did you learn that?" Baekhyun asked, rubbing his temple.

"I watched it in television. I just did what Coach Cho taught." I said and lowered my tone when I felt Tao's glare from afar.

If his gaze could kill, I’m already up at heaven.

"Demonstrate what Coach Cho taught you." Baekhyun said, he clenched and unclenched his fists. "Tao, you're the p*****t. Go." Baekhyun pushed Tao forward.

"Why me?" Tao hissed. "Why me?" Baekhyun mimicked Tao and Tao rolled his eyes.

"Come on, Chan Neul. I'll become a p*****t and hugs you from behind." Tao sighed and stand behind me.

I started my act.

I walked forward, acting as if I was on heels.

"Why must you lifts you feet like you're in heels?" Baekhyun complained. "Shut up. Don’t interrupt!" I hissed and Baekhyun rolled his eyes.

I continued my bold walk and Tao hugged me from behind as planned.

I immediately grabbed Tao’s head and flipped him in front of Baekhyun.

Baekhyun's eyes widened as he clasped his hands together.

"Is that eobeochigi? You learnt judo skill?" Baekhyun asked in awe.

"I learnt from the best." I flipped my bangs. Thank you, Coach Cho.

My heart fluttered when I remembered Coach Cho Junho from Cool Kiz on Block.

He was amazingly handsome..

He is so masculine..

His sexy bronze skin..

His..

My thoughts is interrupted as someone else popped out inside the room.

"Someone called me?" Kai smirked while leaning against the wall, next to me.

"Who called you?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes. "You said sexy bronze skin and you said I'm handsome." Kai smirked and winked flirtatiously.

"Excuse me, I was talking about Cho Junho." I said, my lips puckered and my eyebrows arched.

"Cho Junho? Is that your boyfriend’s name?" Kai gasped. My cheeks blushed when Kai asked if Cho Junho is my boyfriend. If only he is my boyfriend.

I wished he knew my existence.

"D.O HYUNG, CHAN NEUL HAD A BOYFRIEND!" Kai hollered as he get out from the room and find for D.O. I mentally slapped myse--.. No.. I mentally slapped Kai's face.

"Ouww.." Tao whimpered as he rubbed his hair.

"Why did you grab my head?" Tao pouted in a sad way.

"I'm sorry.." I crouched down next to Tao and gently rubbed his head where I grabbed his hair. He snuggled his head on my small palm like a kitten who terribly needed love.

"Chan Neul, I'm going to teach you Brazilian kick." Baekhyun said with crossed arms.

"So, I'll do like this.." Baekhyun said and suddenly one of his leg swung across my neck and strangled my neck, pulling me down to the floor.

I fell down on the floor with a loud thump.

"What was that for?!" I growled as I hold myself from clawing his pretty face.

"That is Brazilian kick. Now try do it on me." Baekhyun said.

I lifts my right leg up to his neck. I cursed under my breathe when I realized my short leg never reached his neck.

Baekhyun and Tao burst into laughter instantly.

"APPA!!!" I screamed when I felt extremely humiliated by these two hamsters.

Baekhyun wipe the corner of eyes after both of them stop laughing.

"Okay, now let's learn this…" Tao said, giving me a wushu stick.

"What I'm going to do with this?" I asked.

"You'll do like this" Tao said and in a blink of eye, Tao poke my stomach using the wushu stick.

"Yahhh!" I shouted and Tao started to run away while laughing. I used the wushu stick like a spear and aim it at Tao.

I throw the spear using Finnick Odair throwing style from The Hunger Games.

Baekhyun avoided the flying wushu stick just on time and the wushu stick hit Tao's arm.

To make it more horrible, Tao fell down when he tripped over a wushu stick.

"You.. are so dangerous.." Baekhyun said as if he saw something mind-blowing. Oh, yeah. Then I just remembered that the wushu stick almost hit his beautiful, flawless face.

Suddenly, the door shot open and D.O barged into the room. He gasped when he saw the room’s condition.

Wushu sticks scattered around the room as Tao accidentally hit all of them with his elbow.

Tao, Baekhyun and I smiled innocently to D.O. I could see a puff of smoke from D.O's nose as he breathed out fire. He surely hated messy place.

"Chan Neul… Now care to explain to me about your boyfriend?!" D.O asked in low, scary voice while putting both of his hands on his hips.

"KAI!!"
