Chapter 44 - A scorpion with troubles

Dylan was able to stay with them even through school days. As right now Dylan was in the cafeteria where people where celebrating the semester-opening party.

(This feels...)

Dylan had thoughts go through his mind as he didn't go to college he wondered how it felt. Working and just making a buck probably find some nice lady and settle down. 

"Quite chaotic"

Seeing everyone drinking soju and other forms of liqour. As he watched Dohwa drown hyeseong with a soju forcing him to drink as she was already drunk herself. With an evil smile she acted crazy and aggressive. 

Dylan ate the sandwich in hand as Huijin looked at him. She remember that situation where he patted her head. Then switching to saving her from being killed. A blush crept on her cheeks as she felt budding feelings grow for him.

He was strong, reliant and always calm. Especially when he smiles that she enjoyed watching his face. 

"Dylan-..."

"Get off me!"

"Hehe~"

Dohwa was choking hyeseong as he felt unable to breath. Till she stopped choking him.

"I'm bored!....bring me more soju! Soju!"

She slammed the table wanting more to drink. Everyone smiled wryly at her chaotic nature.

"You enjoy getting choked?"

Dylan teased him as hyeseong choked on his drink.

"*cough* No! crazy bastard"

He stopped and drunk his drink once again.

"It's her way of being friendly since she hasn't had a close relationship with a lot of people and that's her way of doing it"

"Hmmm"

Curious of how she acts, all three watched a man in a hoodie came up to her. As they chatted it seemed Dohwa became clingy to him. 

"That seems a bit more than just showing affection"

Dylan commented as Hyeseong felt irritated seeing this. Not like he told anyone, but it felt like seeing his sister. As Hyeseong hasn't told no one that he lost his sister slightly younger than Dohwa but with the same chaotic nature.

[A/N: Yeah I did it...you can't stop me!]

"Shut up"

"You sure?"

Huijin chirped in and Hyeseong looked a bit irritated and annoyed. No one knew of the guy but as they were leaving he stared at Dylan. Making him raise an eyebrow at that curious why the sudden dirty look.

"I'll head to the bathroom"

"Alright"

They nodded at him and Dylan got up as he already got a bad feeling over that guy.

"Good thing you're drunk now"

The black hoodie guy looked at her not stringed up by him. As he was about to touch her Dylan interfered.

"You know it's a crime to take advantage of a drunk woman"

"Fuck off"

He slapped Dylan's hand away but backed off seeing him come in between them

"You're no boyfriend of hers that much is obvious" 

He was about to grab and carry Dohwa but the guy grabbed his shoulder and thre Dylan away from her. Which he wasn't startled and looked at him with a cold gaze. 

"Well..."

He saw black feathers taint the sky as he then felt one touch his arm but nothing happened. 

"I'd be careful if I were you those are my poisonous bristles"

[A/N: The guy is part 'Goliath bird eater']

"I'll be taking her as she doesn't belong here"

"And who says you got a say in her life choices?"

"How annoying"

The guy launched himself appearing before Dylan as grabbed his wrist. Throwing him to the air and the guy surprised he was flung this easily like nothing. But he got to his feet and into a stance.

*Swooosh*

He shot multiple bristles at him sharp enough to cut him. Which Dylan made a protective water barrier that took them in stopping them. 

"Dam!"

He didn't expect someone like him and he sure was unique with the ability to control water. 

"I'll have to take you with me then!"

He kept on attacking throwing his bristles at him. Dylan was thinking as he shot forward a jet like water attack. Hitting square to his right arm knocking him off balance.

(I could act like i'm knocked out.....it would also let me see how far I can use this new found ability of mines)

Dylan then acted to being knocked out as he fell to the ground.

"Finally why was this bastard this strong?"

The guy sighed as sweat trickled down his forehead.

As he watched his own body Dylan was projecting himself and looking at this as some sort of movie scene. The black hoodie guy took him and dohwa to what seemed to be an orphanage. Then watching him place his body right next to Dohwa's on the same bed.

(Well this would be akward) 

This new found power being astral projection and as he instantly went back to his body to not cause a misunderstanding. He blinked looking at her sleeping face. For all the chaotic nature she looked cute sleeping. 

Dylan got up slowly but saw nothing just barricaded windows.

"Where am I?"

Dohwa saw Dylan and both haven't really talked much. 

"The guy you went with kidnapped us"

"No....junhyeong wouldn't do this"

"That guy?"

*Click*

Dylan saw the door open and a small child came to greet them.

"Food is ready"

"We'll be there"

She nodded and left running back. Dohwa blinked seeing a small child opening the door.

"So what's the name of this place he kidnap us to"

"Angel orphanage....a place I lived in"

Her face showing a deep sense of emotion. Her arms crossed watching this place a core memory in her life. Then kids surrounded her and touched her tail making Dohwa a bit irritated but ran not lashing out at none of them. 

"Ah...you must be a friend of junhyeong and Dohwa, you can stay here as long as you want"

A kind old lady appeared with a smile she looked like the one running this place. Dylan only had a shirt on as his clothes were on some hanger drying.

"So brought in by him?"

"Oh junhyeong? Yeah he brought you here the boy with the bandages who's also from this orphanage"

"So both of them grew up here..."

"Yes...that's why they can come here anytime they're like my children"

The old lady had a sweet smile showing her affection for the children.

"Where is he now?"

"He said he had to do something asking me to take care of you two"

Dylan stroked his chin hearing that but wouldn't worry to much.

"Hows Dohwa been doing no one has bullied her?"

Dylan chuckled at that finding it amusing.

(She does the bullying)

"No ma'am"

"Good...I'm worried since she was a delicate child"

"Delicate?"

"Yeah but it all change after growing her tail"

Just as they were chatting Dohwa bit her lip remembering also bad memories of her father. Who was on house arrest, probation to even see her.

As he had an ankle monitor walking with sandals and a beer in hand he was drunk. Angry he was at his life going upside down as he slapped her once.

"Your clothes must be dry I'll go get them"

"Thank you"

The woman left as Dylan felt a hand on his shirt nudging him.

"Can we draw together?"

A cute black hair girl was asking him as the old lady came and chuckled seeing this girl.

"Oh don't mind Yerim she has a thing for good-looking boys"

Dylan looked at her and back at the small girl and chuckled. 

"I'll play along with her it's fine"

"Alright"

She left again and Dylan went to play with the girl. Dylan went along with the girl and played with her chatting happily to each other. 

(Would I be like this if I was a father with my own child?)

"Look!'

"Butterfly wings of you having them?"

"Yep! I think they're beautiful...!"

As she showed him a picture of her having butterfly wings and going on about how some insects, bugs and other animals are beautiful and ugly. Her eyes sparkled with youth showing her excitement about life.

"That's wonderful"

Dylan patted her head making yerim the girls name purr happily.

"I wish I had butterfly wings one day!"

She opened her arms in gesture.

"Interesting so you wouldn't be weirded out of having them?"

"Nope! but for me mosquitos are something I don't like they suck blood and spread diseases" 

Showing off her arm filled with mosquito bites and Dylan wasn't surprised since they lived at some mountain. 

"Yerim it's your last day! Get ready!"

"Yay!"

"Last day...?"

Dylan looked at the lady that came by.

"Yeah I'm going to another orphanage starting tomorrow!....So this is my last goodbye to everyone here"

She closed her drawing book and handed it to Dylan.

"For you"

"Thanks"

"Well see you next time Mister!"

"Be on your own Mr. Dylan"

As yerim left with the lady, Dylan went to the bathroom. His eyes turned dark as he quickly sat on the toilet stall and used astral projection. As it has a bit of a cooldown since he's new to it. Trying to get a hang of it. But he had sensed earlier was something dark.

What he saw made Dylan's blood boil. He wasn't some heroic saint but he had some lines he placed on himself morals that wouldn't be broken. He saw yerim being strapped into a hospital bed with the old lady and other woman having lab suits and many things like doctor tools. The whole thing was a basement an operation to convert orphans into different types of bugs. 

"We'll loose funds if it doesn't go right so best be careful with her"

"Oh I will this should do just right"

Having an insect in hand and grabbing a jungle juice canister she smiled the money she gained from doing this was mouthwatering. Soon she'll have more experimenting on these kids was something she had to do.
