The night was not yet close to it's climax. The moon drifted towards the west but it wasn't gone. The nightfall was deeper than ever. One could never imagine how chaotic that night went for all the eight boys and the whole Thunder kingdom. The impact of the night did terrified many and the most terrified of all was the prince himself. He wasn't just terrified because of the attacks but because of the questions he had in his head which weren't answerable. Or was it?

All the others were in their room and so was Seungmin and Changbin. Both of them sad beside each other with a tension within their hands wanting to tangle them with each other. Seugmin's hand traveled an inch and with his pinky he touched Changbin's hand. "You don't need to hesitate to hold my hand do you?" Changbin said smiling. "Well-" Seungmin didn't know what to reply with. Changbin took Seungmin's hand and tangled it with his. Both of them stared at their hands which perfectly fit each other's as if they were made to be together. Seungmin smiled.

"Never knew this night could be this peaceful?" Seungmin said and moved his gaze from their hand to Changbin's eyes. Looking straight into them. "Me neither" Changbin replied and started moving towards the younger's face. Seungmin closed his eyes anticipating what could possibly happen next but to his surprise he felt a soft yet warming kiss on his forehead. "Thank you Seungi" changbin whispered. "What are you even thanking me for?" Seungmin asked but he already could sense the older's words. "Nothing" Changbin said smiling at the boy he was so in love with at that moment.

"All I want now is to kiss you on those soft lips" Seugmin said in his head but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud. "You can" changbin said as if he knew what the younger's mind was saying. "Huh?" Seungmin said confused. "Nothing" Changbin again said the same thing and with no other wastage of the precious time he kissed his love. Seungmin smiled in between the sudden kiss and closed his eyes to kiss the older deeper. They could feel the warmth, the heat, the passion and most importantly the love. The longingness for each other inside their heart was prominent within the kiss. The manifestation of their love was known to both. They both pulled out and neither of them were tired. They were ready to put efforts and make the thing they had work. They wanted this to work. Their relationship was pure, purer than it could ever be and ruining it with something called sins would not be allowed by any of them.

"I love you" the younger said and hugged the older as tightly and warmly as he could. "So do I love" Changbin said softly. The calmness and sweetness in Changbin's voice cured every misery the younger had. It had healing powers and Seungmin didn't want to end this moment ever. "You know I said thank you for what reason?" Changbin said. "I could sense a bit but for what exactly did you thank me for" said Seungmin. "For coming back. Believe me I wouldn't have been this happy if you never came back in my life. I am the happiest I could be right now" Changbin said. "I believe in you Hyung. That's why I came back. Fate brought us back. And I have no intention in leaving you. You are my safe place Hyung." Seungmin said not breaking the hug. "So are you" Changbin said.

"Hey Felix" "Hey Hyunjin" and again it was followed by silence as nobody spoke. Felix was way too immersed in his thoughts and Hyunjin was lost how to and what to say. "I think I should leave" Hyunjin said turning to leave. "No stay" Felix called out quickly staring at Hyunjin for the first time. "Why are you here now?" Felix asked as Hyunjin was back to his place. "Just wanted to hang out with you" Hyunjin said. "Come and sit here then" Felix said patting the space beside him on the bed. Actually he wanted to visit the forest again. He wanted to know so many answers. There were so many questions. What did Chiron and the tree mean? Why did the tree made him see his mother? How did she die? Who was he actually? Who was Jaehyun? What happened to Jaehyun? Who was the girl? Why was she hunting werewolves? And more specifically why did she say she would get killed if Felix died? What happened to her? Did she live there?
