ATEEZ IMAGINES

ATEEZ - A Tragedy part 2

Seonghwa catches his head in frustration hearing Hongjoong. There is no other way if Yunho isn't present. San could die if he loses his control during the ritual. He turns to cabin's door where Hongjoong stood earlier to have a word with him, but the shorter elf is nowhere to be seen.

"Sannie, where did Joong go?" Hwa asks the pixie-sized elf sitting on the tea table. He just shrugs his shoulders in response.

Hongjoong is on his way running breathless. He doesn't have a clue where his legs are taking him, but he is sure it might find him a solution. The elf ends up in front of a old, rusty cabin that has dark exterior. It scares him to knock on the door but does it eventually, after gathering his courage for the sake of his best friend's future.

"Hongjoong. I know it's you. Come in." A husky cold voice calls him from the cabin and the elf goes in. His mother sits on her arm chair with a black leather book in her hand. Her face shows traces of old scars and torments.

He gulps nervously before speaking, "Mother, you must know the reason of my arrival. But I need you help. And yours is the only safe way I can ensure San's survival." She nods in response before getting up from her seat and closing the leather book.

"Joong, I knew this would happen one as history repeats itself. I have this elixir your dad had prepared when you drank the shrinking potion. You have troubled me a lot when you were younger Joong." His mother says as she searches for the growth potion in her shelfs.

"Here. Take this and feed Sannie enough.... maybe just a drop is enough. Visit me once everything's alright."

"Okie mom. Bye!" Hongjoong grabs the potion and rushes towards Seonghwa's cabin with his full strength. His legs almost give up but Hongjoong's heart doesn't and he finally reaches his destination.

Upon opening the cabin's door, he finds the older elf lying unconscious on the couch. San cries looking at Hwa's condition but Joong reassures him that everything will be alright.

Hongjoong first helps Hwa come back to his senses as he splashes a jug of water on the older elf's face and waits for him to wake up. Seonghwa chases the shorter elf around his cabin before Joong informs him of the growth potion. They calm down and Hwa helps Hongjoong make San drink the potion. They use a piece of cotton, dipping it in the potion and feed the tiny elf.

San soon finds himself growing and Seonghwa throws a blanket at him when he grows to his original size. "Cloth yourself!" The older elf shouts covering his eyes at the sight of San being naked. Hongjoong giggles at Hwa's reaction before heading out and informing everyone about San's recovery.

"Seonghwa Hyung! Is everything alright? I was asked to be here due to a emergency. What happened?" Yunho cries standing in front of Seonghwa's cabin in a state of worry and the older elf just hugs him tight.

"Everything's alright, Yunho. It's a long story, I'll tell you later."

Yunho stands there confused as his whole body freezes in surprise.
