HEX

CHAPTER 3

CAN YOU BE TRUSTED?

Taehyung and Lisa spent the day strolling Seoul. But due to their giddiness and excitement, they were not able to buy anything except for contact lenses since it was the first thing they bought to avoid glances from the mortals.

"This place is amazing! I wish my sisters could see this..."

"Sisters? You have sisters?"

The young witch nodded. "We're called Blackpink. We're what they call elemental witches since we specialize in a particular element."

Lisa looked at both sides before lifting the palm of her hand at eye level and produced a small flame.

"Woah! Daebak!!" The curious vampire exclaimed while clapping his hands. "It's like buljangnan!"

"Jennie has wind, Jisoo has earth and Rosé has water..."

The young witch suddenly missed her sisters. She remembered clearly how they would play together outside the manor, train together and beat up intruders together. They also loved to sing and dance whenever they could. It was peaceful back in the manor with just the four of them. But they did crave for freedom. Not that they were trapped but because they were curious to what the modern world was like.

Taehyung noticed the change in Lalice's mood so he decided to play a game with her to lighten her mood up again.

"Lisa-yah. Let's race back to the hotel. Loser's gonna buy the winner beef."

"But I don't have money of my own yet."

"Namjoon said Jin hyung is taking care of your credit card. So, do we have a deal?"

Lisa grinned.

"Call!"

ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ

LALICE

"No fair! I didn't know you could teleport!"

I laughed as Taehyung whined in the lobby. I got to the hotel first since I knew how to magically transport myself from one place to another while he just ran.

"You keep forgetting I'm a witch, Tae. Sucks, right?"

He pouted. Aww. He looks so adorable!

I ruffled his hair and he grinned. There's his signature boxy smile again.

Then, his phone rang. "Yeoboseyo? Irene-ya. Ne. I'm on my way."

He looked at me then excuse himself. I nodded and went straight to the box--er elevator and pressed the button Namjoon pressed before.

I went inside the penthouse, straight to the room upstairs and since no one was around and laid down.

She snapped her fingers to close the lights then drifted to sleep.

•o•o•

My eyebrows furrowed as I heard scratching and squeaking sounds. I slowly sat up then yawned. I then felt the presence of another supernatural.

Since the lights were still off, I used my index finger to produce a small fire that would light the room up a bit. I was too lazy to open the lights so that was the first thing I thought of.

Just as the light illuminated the room, I saw something I shouldn't have.

"Kyaaaaaaaa!!!"

A naked man was "humping" on a naked girl. Scratch the man part. It was a freaking vamp!

The girl screamed as well and covered her body immediately as the vamp didn't even bother but was shocked as well.

"Nuguseyo?!" They asked each other.

The lights--real ones, opened and a shocked Namjoon was at the door with two strangers.

"What's going on here?!" He exclaimed. I instantly pointed at the naked "couple". "Jungkook? Ya! I told you to stop bringing girls here!"

"It's my room, hyung. I can do whatever I want with it. And who the hell is she? Why is she in my room?" I rolled my eyes. This guy is starting to get on my nerves and it's not even 5 minutes since I met him.

"Didn't you get my message?"

"So she's the hybrid?" The guy looked at me like I was some kind of trash or something. "Thought she was supposed to be a guy. Now I know why she needs protection."

My eyebrows raised. "Are you mocking my gender, vamp?"

What the actual f.uck?

"Nope. I'm not mocking. I'm stating a fact." He smirked. That's it. No more Miss Nice Witch. Damn this kid is annoying!

"Ya, Jungkook," Namjoon called him out. "I wouldn't do that if I were y--"

With a snap of my finger, Jungkook turned into a bunny rabbit.

"Woah!"

"Daebak!"

"So cute!" The woman exclaimed making them turn towards her. I huffed then snapped my fingers and the naked woman disappeared.

"Where'd you take her?" A funny looking guy asked. His aura radiated sunshine.

"Home. I transported her to where she lives--I think." I stood up and took Jungkook the bunny in my arms and started to pet it. "He's way nicer like this, don't you think?"

Namjoon and the two other guys looked at each other then looked back at her.

"Oh, by the way Lalice--"

"Just call me Lisa." I smiled sweetly at them.

"Omo omo! That smile! I think I just found my first love!" The guy with sunshine aura exclaimed. It made me giggle.

"This is Hoseok," Namjoon said. "You can call him Hobi. And yes, he is a ball of sunshine."

I shook his hand then looked at Namjoon. "What did I tell you about reading my mind, oppa?"

Namjoon scratched the back of his head.

"I'm Jin," the brown-haired one said. Woah. He's so handsome! "And here's your own card plus some essentials. I heard from Taehyung that you weren't able to buy some 'coz it was getting late."

"Woah, is she really a hybrid?" Hobi asked. In response I showed him my fangs. "A vamp and a witch?! Daebak!"

"So I've already met Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung, Hobi and Jin. Plus this little munchkin over here." I tried to pinch the bunny but it tried to scratch me. "Whoelse am I missing?"

"What's all the racket in here?" A sleepy pale guy suddenly walked in from behind Jin and Hobi. "Why is there a girl here? Are you one of Jungkook's or Jimin's?"

"Neither." I let Jungkook the bunny hop off her lap and he turned back into a human.

"Woah!" The guy exclaimed. "I didn't know Jungkook can shape shift."

"I can't." Jungkook glared at me. "That witch turned me into one."

"Ya, put some clothes on. There's a lady in here," Jin scolded.

"I can take care of that."

I snapped my fingers again and Jungkook now sports a cute bunny onesie.

"Ya!"

"What's with your obsession with rabbits?" Hoseok asked.

"He looks like one."

"Aish." Jungkook looked like he was about to punch me but I just gave him a wink then blew a kiss. Fireballs started to appear in front of him. "What the--"

"I might have forgotten to tell you guys that she's from Wayji Coven."

I stood up and clung on to Hoseok's arm which startled him. I smiled at him sweetly.

"Can we eat out? I want to try some food here. We can also discuss our plans regarding those mutts."

Hoseok looked at Namjoon who just shrugged. Jin followed 'coz with the mere mention of food, he cooperates without hesitation. The sleepy dude followed as well.

Jungkook on the other hand tried to unzipped the onesie and discovered he couldn't. It was stuck. He then followed the witch and his hyungs still wearing the damned thing.

ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ

JUNGKOOK

Damn that witch. Truthfully, this onesie is comfy as f.ck. But it itches. All over. People gave me weird glances as we walked towards the restaurant.

"Ya." I called the witch. She turned towards me with an eyebrow raised. "Give me decent clothes. Everyone's looking at me like I'm some kind of psycho."

"But Namjoon oppa said I can't use magic in public," she said in a weird cutesy voice. Yuck. But why does she look adorable? Aish.

"Follow me."

I grabbed her the wrist and dragged her towards the dumpster. I looked around and when it was 100% clear, I looked at her.

"Okay. Now do it."

She crossed her arms. "You ain't the boss of me bunny."

Jinja. This woman is testing my patience. And I ain't the most patient one in our group.

"Look here, you little witch," I said as I moved closer towards her. She moved backwards. I smirked as her back hit the wall. I caged her with my arms on both side and all she did was stare at me in shock. "I ain't messin' around here. Just give me back my normal clothes and we're done."

She blinked then snapped her fingers. I was now wearing a white shirt and some distressed jeans.

Good thing this witch has some fashion sense.

I stood straight, placed my hands in my pocket then started to walk away. But before I could leave her in that alley, she moved in front of me.

She smirked as she looked at me. She slightly raised her arm as she walked towards me. Some kind of invisible force pushed me against the wall. She moved closer which shocked the hell out of me.

Our faces were just about an inch apart when she looked me straight in the eyes and moved closer to my left ear.

"You ain't the boss of me, Jungkook," she started. "Pull a stunt like this again, consider yourself dead."

Smirking, she let me go and she moved away, leaving me alone in that alley.

Woah.

That woman. Is really something. I think I may have just found myself a new hobby.

•ㅇ•ㅇ•

LALICE

"Kookie-ya. Where've you been? I already ordered some lamb skewers for you." Jin said as Jungkook sat on the table across me.

"Just here and there. Something interesting just caught my eye." The grinning jerk looked straight at me. I rolled my eyes.

I'm so done with this guy.

"So Lalice, what's Beulping like?" Hobi oppa asked. He was seated beside me. "I heard tons of stories about how sacred and magical that place is."

"Well, it's nothing special, really. It just have tons of trees and plants around."

"You're friends with Jennie, right?"

I nodded. "More like sisters, really. How'd you guys know her?"

"She's Namjoon's ex--"

"Shut it, Hoseok." Namjoon glared. "We're friends. We basically grew up together with Nayeon and Yoongi."

I looked over to Yoongi's direction. He seemed uninterested and bored.

"I'm just curious. Why'd the mutts take your sister?" Jin asked.

"Esem thinks Wayji is doing some world dominating thing using us Blackpink," I answered. "I have no idea about that world dominating part but we're not that special. If Wayji were to take over the mortal realm, he would've used Bigbang sunbaes and 2NE1."

Namjoon nodded and so did Yoongi. Hobi was so engrossed with my story and Jungkook, he kept staring at me like a total psycho.

"You're close with your Bigbang sunbaes?" Hobi asked. I nodded. "Who are you closest to?"

"Seungri oppa. He likes to play pranks like me."

"You like playing pranks? Jungkook does that all the time too! I bet you'd get along--"

"Nope. Not a chance." We both said. We glared at each other.

"Totally shipping these two together," he remarked.

"Yo yo yo! Eating without me? How rude--hey!" The Jimin guy from earlier arrived. He took a step back as he saw me.

"Hi."

"Um." He was fidgetting. "Hi."

I looked both ways before waving my hand. Jimin was gently pushed forward making him seat next to Jungkook.

"I play nice when people are nice to me. Be rude, and I'll be rude as well." I smiled widely and offered my hand to him. "The name's Lalice. You can call me Lisa."

Taken aback, Jimin shook his head and took my hand. "Jimin. Sorry about earlier. I think... I deserved that."

"Sorry for getting you naked." I snapped my fingers and an ice cream cone appeared on his hand.

"Woah! Mango flavored! It's my favorite! How'd you know? Don't tell me you're a mind reader too?"

I immediately shook my haid. "Ani. Roseanne... it's her favorite flavor too. I'm just used to making mango ice cream appear for her whenever we have misunderstandings."

"Roseanne... your friend that was taken by those EXO..." Namjoon stated.

Hobi looked at me with concern. "You miss her?"

I nodded then sighed. "That's why I really need your help. I know you guys know where EXO's base is. I think that's where they took Roseanne."

"What's in it for us?" All eyes fell on Jungkook who just shrugged after making that nasty comment. "What? It's not like I'm gonna endanger myself for free."

"Ya Jungkook!" Jin scolded him.

I fell silent. He's right. I don't have anything to offer them. It's not like I hold any type of jewel or anything. I can't bring back the dead. I can only burn things.

Jungkook smirked at me. "You didn't think this much through, right doll?"

The word 'doll' rolled out of his mouth like an insult. I glared at him. But ultimately, I surrendered.

"You're right. I didn't think this through. But I will do everything I can even make a deal with the devil himself just to save my sister." I clenched my hand from under the table. "I came to you guys to ask help without anything to compromise. I'm not expecting you'd all help me out but there's no harm in trying, right? If one of your brothers were captured, I know you'd all do the same thing."

I felt someone hold my shoulder. It was Yoongi.

"I'll help you without anything in exchange," he said which shocked me. He was smiling at me as he wiped the stray tear that fell on mu cheek. "My services are at your disposal."

"Me too!" Hobi oppa enthusiastically raised his hand. "I'll help you out too, Lisa. Oppa will protect you."

"Me! Me! Me! I'll help out too!" Jimin exclaimed.

"Nado. I'll help you get your best friend back too, Lisa." Jin said in a very princely way.

"You know from the start I'm willing to help you out, Lisa." Namjoon said while smiling. "And I'm sure Taehyung's gonna help out too."

My eyes started to water. "Yeoreobun..." (Everyone...)

"Ya! Ya! Don't cry!" Jimin said. Yoongi then put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me to his chest.

"Pretty girls don't cry."

"Kamsamnida yeoreobun..."

Then I heard a soft chuckle from the jerk named Jungkook.

"A sob story and waterworks? Wow. You really are something--"

"Shut it, Jungkook or I'll cut you myself," Yoongi hissed which shocked everyone. "Don't listen to him. He's just scared of the wolves."

"I'm not!"

I looked at Yoongi who smirked. I know what he's tryna do. So I rode with it.

"It's fine, Jungkook," I said. "I know you're afraid of EXO and I won't force you to fight with us. I fought and killed two of them so I guess we seven are more than enough--"

"Who are you to say I'm afraid of those rabid mutts?!" He reacted violently. Yoongi looked at me--pleased. In the back of my head I was already grinning like an i***t. "I can take them all in my sleep!"

Jungkook may be cocky as f.uck but he's still very gullible. Namjoon suddenly coughed. I guess he read my mind.

"It's okay, Jungkook. You don't need to be embarassed or anything. Being afraid of the mutts is normal--"

He slammed his hand on the table. "I am not afraid of those dogs!"

"Oh really?" I crossed my arms. "Prove it then."

"Fine. I'm in."

I grinned. Mission accomplished. Then Jungkook suddenly realized he's been tricked. Yoongi shook my hand.

"Amazing work. Let's do this again some time," he said smiling. I laughed then my gaze fell on to the enraged bunny. He looked pissed but... was he smirking?

Holy s**t!

Did he just wink at me?!

Only a fine line separates 

love and hate...
