UNDER THE MASK - EPISODE 15

★★★★★

Eden can’t get himself together in the first two minutes, he kept standing like someone in a trance

“I saw her, I just….gosh!’ he said and picked up his shirt and trousers before leaving

Kaitlyn slowly peeped out of the water and when she saw he’s gone, she rushed out of the pool and dressed up hurriedly not minding the wetness of her body, the water on her body dampened her clothes but it’s nothing right now, she didn’t even wear her bra or underwear

“That pervert!, He kept staring at at me and he even saw my b**bs!, I can’t believe it how am I gonna face him, he’s unbelievable!” She kept talking as she put on her shoes

” You’re done?” Venus asked, coming out

“Something chased me, I’m off, I’m never gonna bath here anymore!” She replied quickly before running away

” What’s up with her?” Venus wondered, following her

” Wait for me!” She shouted after her.

Kaitlyn kept running and soliloquizing till she got back to the academy

“What if I’ve taken off my mask?, He’d have seen my face too, Eden you’re so dead” she said to herself, peeping at the hallway to be sure it’s free

“It’s free, no one should pass by till I get to my room” she said, silently walking in tip toes

” If anyone sees me in my wet clothes and hair with my bra and singlet in hand, I’ll be so embarrassed” she thought, walking slowly

She’s about to get to her room when someone pulled her into a corner, judging by the scent, it’s Min, he’s holding her back to himself so she’s unable to see his face

“Min?” She said slowly, feeling his fresh breath on her neck

He slowly released her and she looked up at him slowly, her eyes widened cos right now her b**bs tits is popping out as a result of how she’s not wearing bra and her clothes is sticking to her body as a result of the water, making her shape glaring

Min closed his eyes immediately he saw that. “I’m so sorry” he said , still closing his eyes

Kaitlyn rushed out of the place into her room, held her chest and tried to calm down

“He closed his eyes, not like bloody Eden who was staring like I’m a lion” she said and smiled

She changed into something else and dressed up properly before coming out again and surprisingly, Min is still waiting just in front of her room

“Oh, Min” she said, rubbing her neck as she advanced closer to him

“I’m so sorry” he said, holding her hands

“It’s ok, not like you know I’ll be like that” she said, smiling broadly

She’d have been embarrassed to look him in the face if it’s another person but strangely she feels comfortable even with the fact that he saw her in that state

“It’s night time, let’s stroll round the academy” he said, offering his hand

She placed her hand on it and they smiled at each other before leaving the hallway

“I wonder how the journey tomorrow will be” Kaitlyn said

” Smooth, I can feel it” Min replied

“Oh, Mr feels” Kaitlyn replied and they laughed

“You know of all the supernatural beings here in this academy, I’m more comfortable with you, even more than the girls” she said when they got to the base of the peach tree at the back of the academy

“Really?”

“Yes, I feel…safe and…. comfortable and…. everything” she said

He smiled and sat at the base of the tree

She sat with him and sighed. “Honestly I feel same, I feel more comfortable with you out of everyone here” he said

” Where’s Tan?” She suddenly asked

” He has been following Athena around since we were unconscious, I think he should be with her right now, after you, she’s the only one he’s already used to ” Min replied and as if Tan was listening, he appeared, waggling it’s tail and playing with the two of them

“I missed you” Kaitlyn said when she finally carried Tan, stroking it’s head fondly

Tan made to lick her face again but it’s Impossible

“He really badly wants to see your face” Min said

” Someday my face will get revealed” she replied

Tan climbed down from her hands and sat beside her

“The pains, when did it start?” Min asked

“Since I was seven” she replied sadly

“It must have been hard” he said

” Very very hard, trust me when I say it’s the hardest thing I’ve been going through but I don’t even know why I’m suffering like this, I just hope, it’s something worth it” she said.

He touched her hair fondly and she faced him with a bright smile

“Just keep being strong like you’ve always been, you can do it queen” he said

” Thanks for encouraging me Min, it means a lot” she said and yawned

” Feeling sleepy?” He asked and she nodded

He pat his shoulder for her to place her head on and she did exactly that

It’s not new that she always feels special anytime she’s with him so she embraced it and just rested on his shoulder

His hand touched her hair gently and he stroked it tenderly

“You have a cool hair texture, it’s soft” he said

” Yeah, I’ve always had a soft hair since I was born, but no one to complement me” she said

” Don’t kid me, what about your parents?’ He asked

“You just asked about my worse nightmares, they threw me out of the house and even my sis wasn’t helping, they hated me cos of my strange abilities and deserted me cos of that, that’s why I came here, I have no one” she said

” You have me” he said immediately

She took her head up from his shoulder and her tears is already falling and flowers started growing from where it fell again

“Yeah, I have you and all others in here, but being hated by your parents and sister is really the baddest experience, trust me” she said

” I understand, stop crying” he said, hugging her tightly

” I don’t even know when they’ll recognize me as their daughter” she sniffed

” Calm down queen, I gat you” he replied, hugging her tighter as Tan started barking while looking at the sky

Min looked up and saw what’s making Tan bark

The moon is about to start shinning

“So there’ll be moon tonight” he thought , thinking of a way to help

” The moon?” Kaitlyn said on his chest, feeling it already..

” Yeah, it’s coming out but you don’t have to look at it, keep your face buried on my chest, don’t look up” he said

Kaitlyn gripped him tightly and dipped her face deeper into his chest

Min held her head to his chest while tan continued barking

The moon came out in all it’s glory and right in front of Min, her mark shined brightly

Her pains took over her and she tightened her grip on him again, still not looking up

“Bear it princess, bear it please” Min said, stroking her hair as she cried on her chest

“it hurts….my neck” she cried on his chest

“Just a little bit to go queen, please you can do it , you can’t pass out again, fight it Lynn… please” he replied, looking straight at the shining mark

“I’ve seen it before somewhere, where?” He thought, still staring at it and pacifying Kaitlyn at the same time

“Min it’s too painful!, I’m gonna die” she cried again, running her fingers through his back in pains

“Hold it in Lynn, just a bit, just a little , it’ll be over please” he said, holding her tighter

The moon disappeared with the clouds and her mark stopped shinning

He slowly released her and surprisingly she didn’t shed blood like she’s supposed to do

“Min..” she said slowly

“No blood under your mask” he said

“Huh?” She said, touching her chin but there’s really no blood

” No blood” she said shockingly

“Yeah, you’re doing it” Min replied

“How did it happen?, How did it…”

” Shhh, just be happy right now, you’re slowly getting over it” he interrupted

” Thanks for staying with me” she replied

He touched her hair again and pulled her into another hug

” Thanks…. for letting me stay, I promise to find a way to take your pains away” he said

Kaitlyn smiled and rubbed his back lightly

“Thanks…. Changmin” she said.

Eden broke his dressing table when he got to his room, he actually saw them when they were hugging and can’t help but boil with anger

At one hit from his hand, his dressing table split into two

“Damn!” He ranted angrily

****

Depp lightened the candle In his room and smiled before taking his seat in front of it

“The orb will soon be in my hand, and after handing it over to Cruella and her crew, I can be free from her, the journey to Mount Vernon Won’t be in vain” he smiled

Mercury came to his mind again and he smiled. ” I ended up falling for you, how ridiculous, but after delivering the orb, all the feelings will be gone” he said

He thought of kissing her again and this time, he imagined caressing and cuddling with her

“Oh no” he thought and held his breath, that’s the only way he’ll stop thinking about her for a while

****

Athena smiled childishly during the tip toe to Damon’s room

She can’t sleep and that’s why she decided to come to him

She opened his door and met him reading

“Athena” he said , standing up

She walked up to him and smiled

“You’ll be traveling to Mount Vernon tommorow, I’m already missing you, I just came to say bye” she said

” But we’re still gonna see tomorrow before I leave with the others” he replied

” I know, but this is my personal goodbye” she said and took his hand

She placed it on her waist and drew closer

“Damon”

“What?” He asked, watching her like drama

” Can I…. Kiss you? ‘
