JUNGWON's POV

''Wonie, look at this one.'' Sunoo scooted closer to me as he shows me the book he was reading.

''It says, an elixir that is made using a phoenix's tail could reverse the effect of any potion.'' He added as he points out a line on the book.

''Where the heck could we get a freaking tail of a phoenix?!'' I groaned in frustration and flopped down on my seat. We are currently on the Alpha's study room browsing some book of potions.

''I know who can help!'' Sunoo clapped and pulled me out of the room. He dragged me all the way to his car and shove me to the shotgun seat. We drove off to I don't know where, but all I know is that we're a few kilometers away from the pack house. Then after a few moments, I saw a cabin in the middle of nowhere as Sunoo pulls to a stop. We got off the car and we knocked. The door opened revealing a guy near our age with a charming face.

''Sunoo!'' He exclaimed and hugged my bestfriend.

''Beomgyu hyung! I missed you!'' Sunoo beamed as they broke the hug and the guy noticed me.

''Oh you have company. Come in, I'll make something to drink.'' The guy called Beomgyu welcomed us inside his cabin. As we entered, the amount of books on the shelves around the place didn't go unnoticed. I was awed. It was like a setting from a movie. So the guy made us sit on a sofa and pulled out a wand---A WAND?! He got three cups and swayed his wand, then he came to us and served whatever he made.

''That's soda. Don't worry, Sunoo, it's one of the spells that I don't mess up.'' He chuckled as we drank it and---wow! It really is soda! Cool!

''Uhh Beomgyu hyung, this is Jungwon, my bestfriend. Jungwon, this is Beomgyu hyung, an old friend.'' Sunoo introduced as I shook hands with Beomgyu hyung.

''Nice to meet you, Jungwon.'' He smiled genuinely. He seems nice though.

''Nice meeting you too, hyung. But can I ask something?''

''Sure. What is it?'' He attentively looked at me.

''Are you perhaps...a witch?'' I asked, making both him and Sunoo burst out of laughing.

''No, dear. Witches are females. I'm a wizard, in other words, a male witch.''

''Oops, sorry.'' I apologized and flashed a smile.

''It's fine. Anyway, what brings you here?''

''Oh, hyung! You see, Jungwon's mate was given a potion that blocks their mate bond so his mate can't recognize him. So we looked up on how to undo the effect of the potion and found that we need to make an elixir out of a phoenix's tail. Do you have any?'' Sunoo answered for me as Beomgyu hyung stood up and stepped on a ladder, reaching for something on the shelf.

''Phoenix tails are hard to get because phoenixes are hard to find but I have here 3 tails but it's hard making elixirs. It's twice harder than making a potion. You have to put the exact I MEAN EXACT amount of each ingredients, otherwise, poof!'' Beomgyu hyung hands us a box that contains the tails.

''But hyung, can't you help us?'' I asked, but Sunoo answered.

''That's the thing, Wonie. Beomgyu hyung here always mess up when it comes to spells, potions and anything like that.'' Sunoo teased, earning a light smack from Beomgyu hyung.

''You don't have to expose me like that, you omega. And I improved! Maybe we could try?'' He said as we looked to each other and started making the elixir.
