Ocean's Descent ||| Woosan (Ateez)

It seemed so simple. Mingi was able to hone in on Wooyoung's magic enough that he had an idea of which direction they needed to go, and he'd be able to fine-tune it the closer they got.

All they needed to do was find a way to sneak in, find Wooyoung, and get him out.

It seemed so simple...

Yet San know it was going to be the most challenging thing he'd ever have to do. They didn't know what to except, how many men would be there, what the place looked like, anything...

As he looked between the four other men crammed in the car, he would be lying if he said he wasn't terrified. They were putting all their stock and faith in the hand of two strangers and their magic.

They had to be insane...

But San had spoken the truth. He was willing to do anything to protect Wooyoung.

The car ride was silent, except for when Mingi sensed a change in direction, which Yeosang did he best to follow while staying on the highway.

At this point they had decided to not worry about authorities. Going faster was worth the risk, and if it came down to it, San was fully willing to steal a car.

A small chittering sound came from the front seat, causing everyone to look around for the source. Then the glove box started to shake. Jongho leaned forward to open it up, yelping in surprise when three fairies, glowing blue, pink, and orange, darted out of it and plopped onto his lap.

"Looks like we have some stowaways." Yeosang chuckled, glancing over for a second before focusing on the road once more.

The fairies giggled happily, breaking the silence in the car with their joyous noises.

San couldn't help but smile when they crawled up Jongho's arm to wave at the two mermen seated on either side of him.

"What are you doing here?" Yunho asked, reaching out a hand with the blue one fluttered over to. She perched on one finger and started waving her hands and chittering quickly. Yunho watched her every move, then smiled gently. "She wants to help, so do the other two."

"I don't know if that's a good idea..." San chewed on his bottom lip. "It could be dangerous."

The little fairy glared at him and crossed her arms, causing Mingi's deep laugh to come from behind him when she started speaking again. "She says if anything it's the most dangerous for you because you don't have any magic."

A happy trill came from the other two, who were now sitting on top of Jongho's head.

San's eyes narrowed, not liking that he was being laughed at by something smaller than his finger.

"This might actually be a good thing." Mingi added, leaning forward so he could look at his mate. "They are small and can get into small places. Plus the more magic we have on our side, the better."

Jongho twisted around in his seat, a contemplating look crossing his face. "So what, when we get there, we send them in to scout ahead? That would give us an idea of what to expect at least..."

"And a way to plan more." Yeosang added.

"We still won't have much time. I need to save my strength." Mingi closed his eyes and sat back. "Keep heading in this direction. He feels stronger..."

Yunho leaned across San to take Mingi's hand, squishing him between them even more than before. He bit his tongue to keep from protesting when the blue-haired man said, "Take some of mine. You're our best bet for getting Woo out of there."

Once more, silence fell over the car. Even the fairies knew how dire their situation was, although they moved so they could watch Mingi, almost as if they were watching over him.
