The four elements | Seongjoong

Item: confusion

Wooyoung was on his way to the Air lounge when he saw Mingi carrying Seonghwa and hurriedly running towards the main school. Yeosang saw this too, and started running towards him.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?!" Wooyoung shrieked.
"Long story, help me carry him first." Mingi replied.
"Get Jongho, get Jongho!" Yeosang was shouting as he carried Seonghwa.
Mingi left Seonghwa in their arms and ran away.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Wooyoung yelled.
"He's getting Jongho! Calm down!" Yeosang yelled back, taking a good hold of Seonghwa.
"Why Jongho now?" Wooyoung asked as he took Seonghwa's other arm.
"He's a healer!" Yeosang was still yelling.
"A healer?"
"A doctor you say." Yeosang replied.
"What the fuck. How are you guys-"
"Can we take him first?! Stop cursing Jung Wooyoung!" Yeosang yelled.
"Okay, okay."

Yeosang and Wooyoung carried the unconscious man over to the main school. Wooyoung didn't know where they were going, he just let Yeosang take the lead. Yeosang walked a lot, turned a lot. It was getting darker, the fire torches were lit by this time. Finally, they halted in front of a door. Yeosang opened the door with his free hand, to reveal numerous beds inside. As soon as he stepped in, the typical hospital smell hit Wooyoung. They placed Seonghwa on the first empty bed they saw. Wooyoung noticed the other students lying on the beds, none of them looked good.
"Is this the hospital?" Wooyoung asked.
"Yes."
"Now don't we do anything?"
Yeosang leaned over the bed, got a hold of Seonghwa's wrist, and narrowed his eyes in focus.
"His pulse is running, let Jongho come, he'll see." Yeosang said.
"Alright."

A few minutes later, Jongho burst into the room, panting.
"Where's Mingi?!" Jongho and Yeosang both spoke at the same time.
"I don't know! He told me Seonghwa passed out and ran away." Jongho said.
"The fuck he did now?" Wooyoung asked.
"Shh. It's okay, look over him first." Yeosang said, gesturing at Seonghwa.
"Yeah, move aside."

Jongho settled beside the bed, measured Seonghwa's pulse, opened and checked his eyes. After that, he took out a contraption that somewhat looked like a stethoscope, and put it on Seonghwa's chest. Jongho's eyes widened.
"What happened?" Wooyoung whisper-screamed, worried.
"He- he- Where's Mingi?" Jongho asked.
"We don't know!" Yeosang replied.
"This guy's used elemental magic." Jongho said.
Yeosang gasped.
"Used what?" Wooyoung asked.
No one answered. Jongho and Yeosang just looked at each other gravely.
"Can someone fucking tell me what happened to my friend?!" Wooyoung spoke loudly.
Just then, Mingi burst in, "He's gonna be okay, right?" He asked, panting.
"What did you do to him?" Wooyoung yelled as he grabbed Mingi.
"Hey, hey, calm down." Yeosang said as he separated Wooyoung and Mingi.
"Mingi, tell us what happened." Yeosang said.
"I- We were doing laundry. He suddenly asked me if water felt any different since I came here. I didn't feel anything like that, so I simply asked him what he meant. He couldn't quite describe the feeling. Then it struck me, the lake shining, him being good at studies, and everything. So I asked him, if water felt familiar. And he said yes."
Yeosang and Jongho exchanged a look.
"Why? What's wrong about it?" Wooyoung asked.
"Nothing's wrong, but it's quite rare. Students always try getting closer to their element. Magicians practice for years and years, Wooyoung. And still they can't control the elements. It's rare for an element to take a liking towards a magician, very rare." Yeosang explained.
"You mean he can control water?!" Wooyoung asked.
"He can," Mingi spoke, "After that I told him to call water on his palm, at first try he couldn't, but like, when he tried with his eyes closed, he could do it."
"Woah! Really?" Wooyoung asked.
"Yes, there was this big drop of water moving above his hand." Mingi said.
"Wow, such an honour." Yeosang said as he looked at Seonghwa.
"Oh gods yes! This dude here can fucking control water! How cool!" Wooyoung exclaimed.
"Yes, it's cool, but your language, little guy." Yeosang smiled.
"Um, sorry, I am trying." Wooyoung said, "So what's elemental magic again?"
"It's just a form of magic where you can control an element, but as Yeosang said, it's quite rare. No one's been able to do this since centuries, right?" Mingi said.
"Correct. It's really cool." Yeosang said.
"We should tell Daeshim though, right?" Jongho said.
"Who is that now?" Wooyoung interrupted.
"Come on, he's the head of the camp, he sorted you yesterday, remember?" Jongho chided.
"Ah yes yes, the long haired one. I know him." Wooyoung said.
"Yep. And yes, we should tell him, but let's wait for him to wake up." Yeosang said.
"He'll wake up right away." Jongho said, standing up.
Jongho went over to the shelf in the room, grabbed a small glass bottle, a glass of water and made his way back. He opened Seonghwa's mouth and let a few drops of the liquid in. Just a few seconds later, Seonghwa squinted his eyes before opening them. He closed his eyes again, probably because of the sudden exposure to light. Jongho smiled at him as he helped him get up.
"You okay now?" Jongho asked, handing him the glass of water.
Seonghwa nodded before chugging down the water. Jongho ruffled his hair and got up to put his things away.
"What did I- I-" Seonghwa spoke in a feeble voice.
"You passed out, man." Wooyoung told him.
"Yeah, but I-" Seonghwa's eyes widened as he remembered what had happened.
"What was that thing with water?" he asked.
"They say you are a rare magician," Wooyoung answered, "You're one of those really really rare ones who can control an element!" Wooyoung spoke with all the excitement.
"What?" Seonghwa looked at Mingi for an explanation.
"He's right. You can control water. You have to practice though, just order water, and it should obey you." Mingi said.
"You mean whatever I want?" Seonghwa asked.
"Yes."
"You mean I can make it rain?!" Seonghwa's eyes twinkled.
Jongho laughed, "Chill out, man. You just passed out trying to summon a little water, bringing rain would require a lot more energy and skill. You'll have to practice a lot to do that."
"Of course I will!"
"Park Seonghwa," Yeosang spoke, "With great power comes great responsibility. Put it to good use."
A silence took over them as all of them looked at Seonghwa.
"Oh Yeosang, you're scary sometimes," Wooyoung said, "Let's take him to Baeshim now."
"Daeshim." Mingi corrected him.
"Ah Daeshim, yes, yes." Wooyoung said.
"Does everyone have to know? Can we not-" Seonghwa started speaking.
"Not everyone, but Daeshim has to know." Yeosang said.
"Hey, try standing up." Jongho said.
Seonghwa obeyed.
"Do you feel dizzy?" Jongho asked.
"No."
"Great, we can go."

Daeshim's office was dimly lit. Old furniture decorated the place. Lots of papers were scattered here and there. Daeshim was sitting on the desk, looking over some papers when the students entered, he looked at them.
"Good evening, professor." Yeosang bowed.
They all bowed to him.
"Good evening, children, is there a problem?" Daeshim asked, standing up.
"Professor, Seonghwa here passed out a few minutes ago." Jongho informed him.
"Oh, are you alright?"
"Yes sir, I am." Seonghwa answered.
"Do you guys need some medical help then?" Daeshim asked.
"No sir, he's alright now." Jongho said.
"He passed out because he used elemental magic, professor." Yeosang said.
Daeshim looked at Seonghwa, who looked down.
Deashim smiled, "That's a great news! Such an honour."
He walked over to Seonghwa and patted him on his back.
"You must now work hard to improve, child. Put the power to good use."
"Yes, sir."
"Can you try it once again, Jongho, can he?" Daeshim asked.
"Yes he can." Jongho answered.
Daeshim nodded at Seonghwa. Seonghwa stepped forward, held out his palm just like before. However, this time it was easier, he didn't even need to close his eyes. Just one call in his mind, and water was swirling in his palm. He heard gasps, Mingi and Daeshim were already smiling.
"That's so cool!" Wooyoung exclaimed.
"It sure is," Daeshim said, "You can stop, child." He told Seonghwa.
Seonghwa willed the water to disappear, and it did. He was amazed himself.
"Great, great." Daeshim said.
"Sir, I have a concern I wanted to share." Yeosang said.
"Ask away, child." Daeshim said.
"What if he is one of the child in the prophecy?" Yeosang said.
Mingi widened his eyes at this, Daeshim turned around.
Daeshim was about to say something, when the bell rang, signalling the start of dinner.
"You should go now, we will talk about this later." Daeshim said.
