Chapter 4 Brute

Just like what Lance said, their house is just a few meters away from that tree. And I am so amaze when we finally reached it. The house is so wonderful and exquisite. It is made of fully furnished hardwood, glass, and marble. It is more like a luxury vacation house. I can't believe that there's a beautiful house like this.

"Wow." I breathe out.

I heard Lance chuckled. "Welcome to our humble home, little red."

But the arrogant guy, Luhan made his way in the middle of his twin and me. He didn't excuse himself and walked unashamed.

"Is he really that rude?" I said.

Lance shrugged. "He's not Lucious if he's not."

I don't know what is the meaning of that but, I'm sure that Luhan is a somewhat dominant and cruel brother. Maybe Lance is used to its behavior. Anyways, he welcomed me warmly in their house, unlike that arrogant brute. Lance motioned me to sit down on the large softy coach. Who am I to say no? So, I did what he want. I sit comfortably on the comfy couch while my eyes are roaming around the area. I wonder how much money did they spent to have this kind of house. The architect and engineer did a great job. I want to meet them someday. Well, that is if I have my own money and I need to move out from my parent territory.

"I made you a drink. I hope you like orange." Lance said while walking towards me. He has a glass of orange juice in his left hand.

I smiled. "I'm not that picky when it's about food." I haft laugh.

He gave me the glass and sit few inches away from me.

"What are you reading?" He asked.

I was startled a bit. "I-It's all about superstitious stuff. You know, fictitious novel."

He nodded. "I see. What is it all about?"

Why is he asking too many questions? I gulped. "Nothing special." Then, I sip my drink. "So, where's your parent?"

"They're in their house, a miles away. But still, it's in here. Just somewhere in the town." He answered.

I nodded. "How old are you two? Isn't it hard to live alone here in the forest? And why is your house here in the forest?"

Now, I feel like a reporter or some kind of media interviewing a special guest.

"Why'd you asked?" He laughed. "We are four years ahead of you, I guess. We are born to be independent and we love the forest. The natures, actually."

Four years ahead of me, aye? Hmm. I am 19 years of age and if they're four years ahead so, it means that they are 23 or 24 years old. But, I thought that we're at the same age.

"24?" I mouthed.

He chuckled. "Absolutely."

"Why are you still here?" a voice from somewhere.

I looked on the right and there I found the arrogant brute. He is standing there without a shirt and tiny drops of water are all over her body. I guess, he took a shower. His hair is messy and wet that makes him looked hotter. Then, damn that V-line and abs. Ohh, goodness. He's so f*cking hot.

"Done checking my body?" He said.

I can feel my cheeks burning. I hurriedly looked away and drink my orange juice to calm myself. Goodness, gracious! Why did I- What the hell did I thinking?

I heard Lance laughed. "Cute."

Now, I know my face is as red as a tomato. Ohh, goodness. I feel embarrassed! How dare he said that?! I am not checking his body. Well, a little bit. But, I am- okay. Goodness!

"I- I guess, I need to go." I stuttered.

"Why? Don't you want to have fun with us? We don't mind if you keep on staring at our body for as long as you want." Luhan said.

What? I turned to him and give him my death glare. "I am not a whore, a harlot, or whatever bitch it is! How dare you, you arrogant pervert brute?"

How dare him? Goodness! I'm done here. I stood with my chin up. I didn't even bother to look back at them. I heard Lance calling my name but I don't care. His brother is an asshole. How did he end up with that guy? Ohh, poor Lance. He is far from his butt-faced twin brother. I wonder if he broke his head or what. He is more like a crazy bastard to me.

I stormed out of their house and walked further into the forest. I recalled every single detail of the path that we take. And without any hesitation, I followed the trails that I remembered. I have a great memory that I can use to my advantage in every difficult situation. I have Hyperthymesia. It is an ability that allows people to remember nearly every event of their life with great precision. People having this kind of exceptional memory is rare, with research identifying only a small number of people with the ability.

I came back at the big oak tree safe and easy. I may say that HSAM or highly superior autobiographical memory is a gift. That is because I can clearly remember every single details that happened to me in these past few days. I can do throwback moments any time I want. Go back to my happy days while sitting on a comfy sofa with ice cream and pizza is one of my kind of heaven. Anyways, I am now tired and not in a mood to read. So, instead of sitting under the tree just like what I'm supposed to do, I decided to go home.

Exhausted, I opened the front door slowly. I sighed when I finally make my way into the living room. Just in time when I smelled the mouthwatering aroma of my Mamu's dishes. I can say that there's a roasted chicken and something spicy on our dinner's menu today.

"How's your day, Princess?" It's Papu's voice. He is walking down the staircase.

I looked at him and smiled. "Great, Papu. I meet some strangers."

His brows knotted a bit. "And who're that lucky strangers?"

"The Hamsel twins," I said.

"Did you say, Hamsel?" Mamu's voice said. She's now peeking at us by putting her head out of the kitchen.

I nodded. "Yes. Luhan and Lance Hamsel. Why?"

I can see mixed emotions on their faces. The atmosphere seems to be heavy too. What is happening?

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

Papu half-laugh awkwardly. "No, no. Don't mind us. We're just tired. Being old is - you know."

"Come on here. Dinner is almost ready." Mamu shouted.

I know that they're hiding something from me. I can guess it by the way they act and react. They are a bit uneasy and nervous. They are like an open book that is easy to read.

Papu motioned me to go to the kitchen. And so I did. I sit in my respective position and wait patiently. Mamu is not yet done with her work towards the stove. But there are already served dishes here at the table. My tummy began to tremble when I saw the juicy roasted chicken and sliced bread.

"Ohh, goodness. I'm starving." I mumbled.

I heard Mamu chuckled. "Okay, chill, Princess. Let's eat."

"Hmm. Delicious!" Papu exclaimed while sitting in his chair.

Mamu placed her latest masterpiece on the table. It is a spicy chicken salad. Ohh, goodness. Hell no to my diet.
