The second one to find his power was Hoseok. He had managed to make Luhan smile until the boy had noticed what Hoseok was doing to him and stopped him from reading and influencing his feelings. But as he was the only one who could fight against any form of mind control, the others were affected easily.

"I guess he was that quick because his power matches his personality," Yixing reasoned shortly afterwards.

He seemed relieved about Hoseok's power and Junmyeon knew why. If the healer sensed other people's state of mental health, he could notice how the cheerful guy influenced everyone's way of thinking. He didn't use it often because it was too draining, but the others found themselves thinking more positively when they were out of his reach, too.

The boys gained hope when Hoseok found his power. They now had proof that Luhan was right and their training wasn't for nothing.

A few days later, a dog materialized out of thin air when Junkook was feeling lonely, greeted him happily and disappeared again. It turned out that his power was "Summoning," as Luhan called it. Junkook was convinced that he could summon things, people and animals, but Namjoon and Luhan forbade him to try summoning people until he could control his power.

Finding out Yoongi's power had been a bit odd. Yixing and Sehun couldn't find him and searched for him everywhere, until the younger guy was so frustrated that he tried to kick a rock on the ground. Before his feet touched it, however, the small rock transformed into a much bigger one, resulting in Sehun hurting his foot. As Yixing was with him and the healer had made great progress with his own power, it was alright after a few minutes, but he was still angry at Yoongi. The usually emotionless seeming guy had been overjoyed to find out his power was shape shifting and Junmyeon was actually a bit worried he might want to stay a rock for the rest of his life. But Sehun assured him that they had started trying to figure out what else he could transform into.

The three guys left were training as hard as they could. Chanyeol and Junmyeon had changed their tactics and were now teaching Jimin how to fight. This was a bit difficult without Tao and Yifan, but they actually remembered quite a few moves and Jimin seemed to enjoy it. There was a silent agreement between Junmyeon and Chanyeol to tease him as much as possible and try to make him angry, but it just didn't want to work.

One day, Junmyeon was getting ready to go to their training place when Chanyeol approached him. He and Jimin had wanted to go ahead and already start without him, so Junmyeon was confused to see him here.

"I'm really, really sorry," Chanyeol claimed while nervously rubbing his neck. "I don't have a clue how to get back."

Junmyeon frowned. "Wasn't Jimin with you? And the place is the same as every day, isn't it?"

"Are you alright, Chanyeol?" The others started approaching them and Yixing laid a hand on the boy's forehead. "Something seems wrong."

Chanyeol seemed like he might start crying every second now. His hands trembled and he kept looking down his own body. "But I'm not Chanyeol."

"Maybe Jimin can manipulate thoughts?" Kyungsoo wondered.

Yoongi stared at Chanyeol. "Or he might be a shape shifter, too."

Luhan chuckled. "Don't worry," he told Chanyeol. "Let's go to your body, we will help you with getting it back."

"What are you talking about?" Baekhyun asked while all of them were following Luhan. "Where is Jimin?"

"That's Jimin." The blind boy motioned towards Chanyeol. "Apparently, he can possess other people's bodies."

"But that won't hurt Chanyeol, right?" Namjoon worried.
