Kai: "How could I be so stupid!? I shouldn't have left her, I should have looked for her like she is doing with me!"
He yelled at himself in anger, he felt dumb for leaving his younger sister alone for all that time, they were supposed to stay together, but they end up splitting and take different paths.
Taehyun: "Hyuka calm down, I know that she is your sister and that you separated because of those wolves, that you thought she was dead and you never looked for her, but she doesn't know it and I don't even think she is mad at you, as you are with yourself, but now you have to go find her and bring her here, with us, so she will have the confirm that you always searched for her and it will seem that you have never got apart since that day "
Kai: "But I don't want to leave you again... If they catch you and I'm not there? What if they kill you? If I can't never see you again? No, I couldn't take it... I love you too much Taehyun... I can't go"
Soobin: "We all go together to look for her then, I don't think we're so far apart"
Taehyun: "No, Kai and I will go, it's too dangerous for you two now that Yeonjun is pregnant."
Yeonjun: "I can do it, I don't think it will take long and I am strong enough to for this journey"
Kai: "Hyung, Taehyun is right and if you go into labor when we are still here in the forest looking for a house? It's too dangerous for you, you know better than me that the forest is no place for a baby, you can't and we can't risk it, Taehyun and I will go, that's it. End of discussion"
Kai strictness scared the boys, never having seen him so determined and irritated before, the ebony-haired noticed and softened his expression not to scare them further.
Kai: "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I'm just a little irritated about the situation, we'll go north then"
Yeonjun: "Got it"
The four boys smiled and after looking at each other one by one, they hugged knowing that most likely they would never see each other again, but even at that moment hope was last to die.
Soobin: "See you at home"
The two boyfriends nodded and disappeared north into the thick of the forest. The other two continued their journey to south instead, supporting each other and giving each other comfort.

The two younger couple made its journey north, they walked for days, trying to find Kai's sister, they spent even more time together falling in love all over again with each other.
Kai: "When we get south we'll get married too"
Taehyun looked at him in surprise and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
Taehyun: "Can't wait"
Kai: "What if the legend becomes reality with you too?"
Taehyun: "No, I don't think I would be able to handle such a situation... Too many changes and too many things to worry about... It honestly scares me"
Kai: "I understand... But it would be cute having our own family one day"
Taehyun: "That would be beautiful"
As they continued walking they heard loud noises in the thick of the forest coming closer, both boys took up their defensive position.
Suddenly they were surrounded by gun barrels and slowly hunters came out of the bushes, the boys looked at each other and started to attack some of the hunters in front of them, threw them to the ground, Taehyun jumped on one of the hunters, while Kai ran after others, they were fighting with all they had.
In that moment one of the hunters loaded the rifle with a sleeping dart, aimed at Taehyun and waited for the right moment to shoot.
The tension was high and when both Pumas were distracted he fired, Kai out of instinct jumped to protect his partner, the dart hit his shoulder and a few seconds later the anesthetic started taking effect on his body.
Taehyun: "Kai!"
He screamed transforming into human running to protect his boyfriend, who was still trying with all his, might to fight the sleep.
Kai: "Taehyun run away, go to my sister, I'll be fine"
Taehyun hugged him and kissed him through his tears, Kai fell into a deep sleep and Taehyun held him even closer to his chest to keep him safe.
One of the hunters came over and took the blond's arm to separate him from the other, but as soon as he touched him, Taehyun turned back into a puma and with pure anger in his body he tore open the face of the hunter.
In that moment the humanity was in him disappeared, he had become a real animal he was ruled by his animal instincts, he opened the gates of his inner monster.
He tried to cover and protect his boyfriend with his whole body, Taehyun roared at them, making it clear he wasn't going to give up nor let them win, then a grave growl full of pain and anger
Some hunters backed up, but most of them tried to get close to the two, Taehyun attacked them and pushed them back one by one not caring about the damage he was causing.
One of the hunters fired another dart that stucked in the blond's thigh, Taehyun attacked him right away biting his arm, almost tearing his hand making the hunter loose consciousness right away from the pain.
Taehyun fought against the hunters and against sleep, he continued to stay in his position, protecting Kai being completely asleep, his strength came less due to the sleep and his attacks were less precise and powerful, but his determination pushed him to not give up.
He continued to fight and protect beloved until he fell asleep over his boyfriend's body.
As soon as the two fell into a deep sleep they were placed in tight cages and taken a zoo.
