You're gonna live forgetting this feeling,

.

Minho stared at Jisung, Chan had tried healing him multiple times.

"What?" Minho asked Chan who shook his head.

"It's not working," Chan tried to calm down because he didn't know why he couldn't heal Jisung.

"It's not you Chan," Stay said suddenly.

"There's a block,"

"What?" Minho asked his eyes meeting Stay's as he searched their face with hope.

"In his powers, there's a block. It's deep in his soul, there's nothing wrong with him physically. Except, that fire was a trigger to this. This is all my fault." Stay sighed.

"Do you know more?" Minho asked his eyes still on Jisung.

"Yes, I've been through this there was a specific memory locked n his soul that he had sealed," Stay looked at Jisung's pale face feeling blameworthy.

"Like sealing your powers?" Jeongin asked.

"Kind of, it's a stronger seal though. Jisung has probably had an accident with his fire-based powers that is why he's never really used them. He has sealed his immortality; he denies its existence. But now that the seal was left loose it's gotten onto him,"

"What? What do you mean?"

"he's stuck in his head, or an endless nightmare he needs to wake up. It's like Winx Club season 3, except he's battling himself." Stay took a closer look.

"May I?" they asked Minho, gesturing to Jisung's hand. Minho hesitated before nodding.

Stay took Jisung's hand in theirs.

"Whatever you do,"

"Don't make me let go of him until I finish. It's dangerous."

Stay closed, trying to connect with Jisung's roots. The core of his cultivation, his soul. The root was easy to find as it radiated fire energy similar to Stays. Suddenly, Stay saw Jisung who was scared looking around cluelessly.

"S-stay," Jisung said, walking up to Stay.

"Hi Jisung, I'm sorry I can't stay for long but don't worry everything will be alright you just have to promise me one thing," Stay said trying to use their few minutes peacefully.

"Keep calm okay? You can not panic here, you have to find out why you're here. Something you've been blocking out has brought you here,"

"You have to face that," Stay said, looking at Jisung seriously.

"But-- how can I do that?" Jisung asked in confusion.

"You'll know when it comes to you," Was the only thing stay could think of.

"I wish I could explain, but I have to go... Jisung?"

"Yeah?" Jisung looked up at Stay.

"Thank you,"

Jisung froze for a moment before smiling.

"You never have to say that to me. Stay, you know I'm always going to help you." Jisung smiled wider and Stay smiled back, awkwardly wrapping Jisung in a hug.

"Hyunjin gave me one of these once it felt unusually nice, I hope it makes you feel better," Stay whispered, pulling Jisung close. Jisung stood there stunned for a bit before wrapping his arms around Stay. They pulled away looking at each other with a bit more emotions swirling in their eyes.

"It does, thank you Stay,"

"You know you never have to say that to me," Stay echoed.

"Yeah, I know,"
