Capítulo 3: 3. Confusion
"Good, now that everyone is here, shall we begin with the test?" A dark voice echoed through the room which made you shiver to your very core.
_________________________________________
Everyone shifted in their places and probably gulped too, since everyone was very nervous as well. You included. The dark voice was cold and you did not want to look up. It made you freeze in place.
"Does anyone want to start?" The dark voice spoke again making all 6 of the applicants flinch, including you. "No?"
"I- I can try..." A man about the same age as you offered to go first. He looked like a nervous wreck. Not that you didn't look like a nervous wreck too, but still.
"Good, what are you going to do?" a deep voice spoke now, making you surprised. It sounded so smooth and it was like honey. You were actually much calmer now for no reason. Did this guy's voice really calm you down?
"I- I would like to show you my p- powe-"
"Stop right there." The honey like voice spoke. "Why are you stuttering so much?" the man spoke again. You were sure you were on the edge on melting.
"Well... I'm just really nervous..." The applicant explained poorly. The king was probably laughing right now.
"You're a funny one, come here." another unknown voice called for the applicant. You really wanted to take a peek at the king's and see what they were like, but you had no guts to do that in front of everyone. They would kill you on the spot if you did that now. You had to wait for your turn to come.
The applicant accidentally looked at one of the kings and panicked. You were actually glad that he did that, one less to compete with. Much to your- no- everyone's surprise, they didn't even mention that the applicant looked at one of the kings. No, they actually looked at the applicant, straight in the eye.
Of course the applicant was a nervous wreck and averted his gaze elsewhere, angering one of the kings completely accidentally.
"Did you just look away?" The king growled. It seemed like he stood up from his throne and started approaching the poor applicant. "It's rude to ignore my stare, you know?" He growled once more, making everyone nervous again. You wanted to hear that honey like voice again.
"I'm sorry, my king, I didn't mean to-"
*CRACK*
The applicant was now laying dead on the beautiful marble floor. It completely shocked everyone and it was disgusting. The king just brutally murdered one of the applicants and didn't even break a sweat doing so. No wonder they're so feared.
"You! Look at me" Another king called. You continued to stare at the amazing floor. "The man with cherry-red hair. Look. At. Me." Now you were the one who was being called.
You immediately looked at the man who spoke, meeting his gaze as he examined your face and body. You gulped, but kept your composure as the king continued to stare at you.
"Cocky, aren't we?" The king said and gave you a smirk. "Do you have a death wish?" He added and you gulped again. It was not easy staring at the king and keeping your composure at the same time. It was actually frustrating.
"No sir, I don't," You responded honestly. The king rose one of his eyebrows in amusement.
"Interesting... well, can you show us your power then?" The king smirked and you got pale. You didn't have a power of any kind. You were powerless. A poor human with no money.
"I'm sorry, but that is not possible." You bit your lower lip in annoyance. Everyone was now staring at you and you were looking at the ground again. "I- I don't have a power."
"You don't have a power??" The king asked with an amused voice
"Correct." You nodded and looked at the speaking king.
"Then why the hell are you here?" The king snapped back at me.
"I... I wanted to accomplish something big in my life... so I though maybe this would be something I could be interested in. Considering the job I've had for the past six years-" You stopped as awful memories poured right into your head.
It wasn't really a good time to think about these things. All six kings were now staring at you with blank expressions, except one. It was the 2nd king. You didn't know their names, no one did. Everyone talked about a 3rd king or a 4th king.
"What are you talking about?" The sweet honey-like voice spoke now, making you look at the source of the voice immediately. The man was absolutely gorgeous. His hair was pitch black, short and wavy. His clothes were elegant and king-like. He was completely perfect. You found yourself staring at him for a moment. You stopped staring when you heard someone caught.
"Why so speechless?" The king smirked, which made your heart race for some reason. Why did he have such an impact on you?
"I'm sorry..." You looked down again and suddenly your tiny body was on the ground. It wasn't hard to guess who just did that.
You tried getting up from the ground, but an odd force kept you at ground-level. Some applicants were looking at you with sympathetic eyes and some were smirking and laughing at you. You felt awful and wanted to disappear right there. The kings were probably disappointed in you. You were a loser that did not fit here. You were lowest of the lowest.
Suddenly someone spoke, making you look up again because you didn't want to be disrespectful after all.
"Did you feel that?" One of the kings said.
"Feel wha- Oh..." Another one said.
"He's hiding something." Again another one of the kings said. "You. What's your name?"
"J- Jeon Jungkook..." You said shyly. The king looked at you and smirked.
"Where are you from?"
"I live an hour away from here."
"Hmm, I-" One of the kings disturbed him and whispered something while smirking. "Ah, that's a good idea! Alright, let the real test begin then." Every applicant gasped and looked at the king in confusion. That wasn't the test yet? Then, what are they planning?
"As every one of you know, this bastard here, that's sitting next to me is the most cold-blooded king ever. He doesn't care about anyone really and is as selfish as someone can humanly be." One of the kings laughed and looked at the king with black wave locks. "The test is to get him to feel something. It's that simple." He smirked.
"So, if you can pass this test, we'll consider you as the winner." Another one announced.
The other applicants looked at each other with weird expressions. They didn't expect a test like this and you didn't either. What would you have to do to get him to feel something? You actually really wanted him to feel something. But why?
One of the applicants stepped in front of the others and clapped his hands together, making the whole hall shut up. He summoned something in front of him; a familiar. It was a big snake-like creature with big fangs. The snake-like creature slithered around the applicants and hissed every now and then.
"Boring." The black haired king said lazily.
*CRACK*
Another one was dead. The snake disappeared immediately when the host died. You gulped and looked at the other one who was now going to try to impress the black haired king. As time passed, only you and another one were left in the room. The black haired king had killed everyone else and was beginning to grow really bored.
"Can't you pests do anything to impress me?" He growled.
"I can try something." You chirped and stepped forward. You now knew what you were going to do. You were going to sing a song, since singing was something you were really good at, at least that's what Youngsoo said when you sang to him. "I want to sing you a song."
"Hmph." The king hummed and let you continue.
"The song is called 'Stay Gold'" You took a deep breath before continuing to the song.
An enchanting moonlight,
No sleep again tonight.
Guided by the moonlight,
I run to you, hide and seek.
Stealing my way into your heart, I draw near.
Sidle up close before you know it.
Uncorrupted.
Those eyes are like diamonds,
More beautiful than any other gem.
Repeatedly mesmerized by you,
Can't take my eyes off you, no more.
Even the clock hand,
Stops ticking.
Oh-oh, let it glow, woah-oh-oh.
You stopped singing because you felt something in your heart. The song was really important to you. It reminded you of your little brother and the fact that you have to keep going no matter what happens to you. The song itself was really beautiful and your vocals echoed through the almost empty hall. Everyone was silent and didn't say a world. Maybe they hated it so much they were speechless.
"I totally understand if you didn't like-"
"...ugh...." The black haired king mumbled and looked away. Which made you a little sad. Maybe he hated it so much that he got sick. You didn't really expect him to like it though.
"...You passed." Another king said which made you whip your head torwards the speaker. "You, leave this hall right now and don't come back here." He yelled at the other applicant that was left.
"I... passed...?" You mumbled. "...but how?"
"You certainly did something to him." The king smirked and stood up from his chair. "Are you sure you don't have any powers?"
