The Universal Elements

Chapter 24

When San didn't wake for several hours, Seonghwa ran out to find Jisoo but couldn't find her. 

"Joong, where's Jisoo"? He asked. 

"She went out. Why"? Hongjoong asked. 

"S-San's not waking. It's been hours". Hongjoong frowned and rushed into the room. Seonghwa followed him and began to feel worried as he looked at San. 

"W-why won't he wake"? Seonghwa asked. 

"I don't know. Wait for Jisoo to return. She might know something". Seonghwa nodded before hearing San groan and roll onto his side, curling up into a ball. He coughed again and Seonghwa could notice his skin slowly lose colour and he began to worry. 

"Fuck it. I'm finding his crystal"! Seonghwa snapped, storming out of the room. 

"Hwa wait"! Hongjoong called, grabbing his arm. 

"No Hongjoong. He's dying! We both know having out power turn on us is one of the most painful thing we could experience! I don't want him going through this anymore! I'm finding his crystal"! With that, Seonghwa ran out of the shop and into the street. 

"If Suho has it, he's gonna fucking pay"... He muttered. He knew where to go. And he let his legs just take him to where he needed to go. 

Once Seonghwa reached the house, he let the door burn to the ground as he walked closer and entered. 

"Suho! Where the fuck are you"!? He snapped. Suho soon appeared and chuckled. 

"Didn't think I'd see you again".

"Where's San's crystal? I know you have it. He left without", Seonghwa growled.

"I don't know what what your talking about". Seonghwa noticed something glisten in his hand and frowned.  

"Liar. You took San's crystal! Give it back right now"!! Suho showed him the crystal and smirked. 

"Come and get it". Seonghwa let his power flow out and shot a line of fire towards him only for the a wave of water to put it out. Seonghwa looked at him and went quiet. He was fire and knew he stood no chance against Suho. 

"Nice try. But Water against Fire... not the best". Seonghwa moved back slightly as the ground beneath him turned to ice. 

"H-how in the"... Suho laughed and glared at him. 

"You really think I just had San's crystal"? 

"You have Yeosang's? But how?! He was no where near you"!!

"I found they were linked. Making it easier for me to get both". Seonghwa quickly melted the ice and frowned. 

"Give them back now".

"No". 

"San's dying cause he's linked to the crystal! We all are linked to our crystals! I'm not losing San"!! Seonghwa cried. Suho looked at him. 

"You really care for him even though he's close to death"? He grumbled. Seonghwa nodded.

"H-he helps me calm down and control my own power... Please... Give me the crystals. I can't lose San and Jongho can't lose Yeosang"... Suho looked at the crystals in his hands.

"I can help them. Unlink them from their crystals". Seonghwa looked at him. 

"I-I don't want them to be unlinked from their crystals... Just give them to me please. I'm done with fights". Suho growled slightly and tightened his grip on the crystals. 

"Come and get them".

Yeosang sat at the front of the store, looking up at the blue sky while the others were inside. 

"This is so boring"... he muttered before he began to suddenly feel cold. 

"W-what the"... He whispered, deciding to head back inside. He frowned slightly. 

"Mingi are you cold"? Yeosang asked, seeing the taller male, who shook his head. 

"No. It's hot as fuck", Mingi replied.

"O-ok"... Yeosang rushed into one of the empty rooms at the back and looked down before his eyes widened. Ice was slowly making it's way up his hands and his whole body was shivering. 

"G-guys? I-I need help"!! He cried out. Jongho walked into the room after a few minutes and his eyes widened when he saw Yeosang. 

"Sang? What's going on"? He asked. 

"I don't know... Jongho I think my crystal's gone"... Jongho grabbed his arm but pulled away after a few seconds. 

"Your freezing"! Yeosang wrapped his arms around himself and bent down. He kept shivering from how cold he was while Jongho stood in front of him, unsure what to do. 

"W-where's Hwa"? Yeosang whispered.

"I don't know... Sang I'm not losing you"... Jongho spoke softly. Yeosang could feel tears ready to fall but they froze the moment the rolled down his cheek. 

"I-it's so cold"... 

"There's a fireplace in the room San's in. We can go in there and set it up. It might slow it down". Yeosang nodded and slowly stood up, nearly stumbling as he did. He couldn't believe his crystal was gone and now, just like San, he was close to death.
