The Universal Elements

Chapter 13

It soon became night and the group was still sitting in the forest. Yeosang had fallen asleep in Jongho's arms.

"Are you two together"? Mingi asked.

"N-no we're not. Yeosang and I have been friends for years so we've grown close", Jongho spoke.

"Oh". Jongho smiled as Yeosang groaned slightly and rolled around slightly.

"Sang"? The boy didn't wake and snored softly. Jongho sighed and looked up at the sky. No one spoke as they sat there before San finally spoke.

"So what do we plan to do? We're bound to be found sooner or later".

"I think what we need to do is figure out why we were chosen. I have no experience in fighting and I already scared myself with my power", Seonghwa spoke as he looked at the others. The boys nodded.

"We can do that in the morning. For now, we need to rest". Seonghwa stayed up as the others layed down and sighed.

"You ok Seonghwa"? He heard. Turning, he saw San sitting next to him.

"I-I'm ok... I'm just worried for Wooyoung"...

"Brother"? Seonghwa nodded.

"I understand that. I lost my younger brother years ago and never thought to look for him. But if he was here, I'd be worried as well". Seonghwa looked at him before seeing a small blue light shine from his eyes just as it started to rain.

"San!! Can you not"! They heard before large bushes and trees covered the group and they looked at Hongjoong.

"S-sorry, I-I didn't know I could even make it rain"... San whispered. Seonghwa rubbed his back.

"It's ok. You need to sleep anyway ok"? San nodded. Seonghwa let him lay his head on his shoulder before falling asleep. The older smiled as he wrapped his arms around his small figure and kept him warm.

Morning came around and only a few people were awake. Seonghwa had fallen asleep with San in his arms as Hongjoong and Mingi giggled.

"Barely know each other and they're already cuddling", Hongjoong said.

"Yep". A small groan came from San and the younger slowly woke before he saw Seonghwa close to him and he turned bright red.

"U-um"... He stuttered but he didn't move. He looked at Seonghwa features as he laid there. A small pout was on his lips from the way he laid and San saw just how fair his skin was.

"You gonna move San"? He heard. San moved out of Seonghwa's arms and turned to Hongjoong and Mingi.

"S-sorry"... He muttered.

"It's fine. Just be lucky his brother isn't awake. He wouldn't flipped". San hid his red cheeks and sat there as they waited for the others to wake. One by one, the others woke.

"Now everyone is awake. Shall we get moving"? Wooyoung asked before he noticed San's weird behavior around Seonghwa but said nothing.

"Yeah. Come on". They stood up and Hongjoong lowered the plants before they made their way out of the forest. Seonghwa and San were behind the group and Wooyoung could here their conversation.

"You ok San"?

"I-I'm ok"... San said.

"You sure? Did I do something? I'm sorry if I did".

"N-no you didn't do anything Seonghwa"...

"I feel like I did. Your already avoiding me first thing in the morning and I feel like your angry at me"... San stopped walking at looked down and Seonghwa stopped at well.

"San"?

"I-I... W-we cuddled and I just... It felt nice... But we barely know each other so it just seems wrong"... Seonghwa grabbed his hands.

"Hey, please don't think that. C-can we talk about it when we get somewhere safe"? San nodded and the two followed the rest of the group.
