When they stood in front of the shop, everyone's eyes widened.

"W-wait, you got your crystal from here"? Hongjoong asked.

"Y-yeah... Why"?

"I think we all got our crystals from here by our expressions"... San whispered before he ran in, looking for the shop owner and soon found her. The others followed and she looked at them and smiled.

"Hello again boys"...

"W-we definitely got our crystals from here"... Mingi whispered. The lady looked at them before her eyes fell on Seonghwa.

"You lost your crystal"? Seonghwa's eyes widened.

"H-how did you know"?

"I can sense the magic in everyone here but you. Those crystals are special. In the wrong hands, they are dangerous".

"Meaning that man will use them for chaos if he gets them all"...

"Wait, a man"?

"Y-yeah. He took Seonghwa and used a fake crystal to put him under his control. He has the real carnelian crystal", Hongjoong spoke. Yeosang had clung onto Jongho as they stood there.

"His name is Suho. Young man, your in danger. More danger than ever".

"W-what"?

"Those crystals, once given you power, keep you alive". Seonghwa's eyes widened.

"M-my life is now in the hands of the carnelian"?

"All your lives are in the hands of your crystals now. Without it, you'll die". San turned to Seonghwa, seeing fear in his eyes.

"I-I don't wanna die"... He whispered before he felt a large chestburn. He grabbed his chest and scrunched his eyes in pain.

"Hwa? W-what's wrong"? Wooyoung asked his older brother.

"He's already dying... All of you die a different way. His will be from fire-like pain"... The chest burn disappeared after a bit and Seonghwa panted slightly.

"S-so my death will be painful if I don't get my crystal back"... The lady nodded.

"It will slowly speed up the longer your away from your crystal. Find it and you will be saved". They nodded before heading out of the shop.

"We need to hurry... I-I can't deal with another chest burn"...

"If we're connected to our crystals, maybe you can sense where it could be"!

"I-I mean... I could sense it on him when he took me... I'll be able to find it"! Seonghwa shouted. The group smiled.

"Then lets go"!

"Sir, did you get them"? Someone asked Suho as he walked by.

"I got one. The amber. I'll get the others. I know he can sense it... It'll lead them here and into a trap"... Suho spoke as he smirked. The boy, Kai, nodded before he walked off.

"They won't stand a chance against me"...
