Kris was experiencing mixed emotions when he saw Tao, his favourite dongsaeng. He was on cloud nine, maybe cloud ten from his opinion. They were locked together for a brotherly reunion hug and some were too emotional that they cried. Everyone was asking Tao questions but he gave them a sly smile and said that he would tell what happened to him after his rest.
His brothers understood and left Tao alone in his room. They offered him some grilled meat but he said he just went hunting a few hours ago. Kris and Tao shared the same room so Tao had to leave some space for the tall one to lay down. Kris walked quietly into their room to get his amulet. He saw how Tao was trying his best not to take up much space. "Tao.. its alright if you want to sleep at the middle. I won't be back until tomorrow. Tell them I'm out hunting. We need fresh meat for tomorrow. Sweet dreams."
Tao wanted to go with him. But due to his lack of sleep during his disappearance, he decided to just stay at the cave.
The moonlight splashed down it's watery white-silver glow onto the woods, illuminating them. And in the distance the trees were silhouetted against the deep velvety sky. Kris sat on top a big rock, adoring the beautiful moon and in the silence he could hear the wind sweeping around the dried leaves.
Although he knew that hunting at night is dangerous, especially when a wolf is without the pack, he wanted his brothers to eat good, fresh meat. Especially when Tao is around because he knew the younger one is picky, and that he eats a lot, so he made sure to get other food as well like fish or some greens.
He went to the river first, southwest of the cave, about 4 kilometers away. He changed to his human form, so he could catch the fishes easily. And luck was on his side this time because usually, he couldn't even catch a fish. He placed the fishes into an old crate and carried it back to the cave so that he wouldn't have to carry it all the way during hunting.
He found a spot where he knew deers and rabbits usually live. Silent as the wind, he pounced on a deer that was passing by. He bit on it and went on for the next. He made sure he marked the place where he placed his preys. Feeling tired and thirsty, he decided to head back. He was sure that this was the first time he hunted overnight and managed to catch a lot. It was sunrise when he arrived. He placed the food on top of the soft rock table and headed for the shower.
He woke up to the smell of grilled rabbit. He turned to his right but only saw emptiness. Walking towards the kitchen, everyone was busy cooking, including Tao. Baekhyun, D.O and Chanyeol was busy grilling the meat, making sure that it is well cooked. Tao, Suho and Chen is dealing with the fish. He asked where the others went and Suho said they went to get some vegetables to spruce up some colours on the food. He was sure Kai, Lay and Xiumin would do a good job.
After the food was ready, they all sat down and started to eat. Although they were enjoying the food, they felt that there was something missing. And they realised that Sehun wasn't there. He was still under Woo Bin and they wished that they asked someone else to break the mirror.
Everyone was full and sat down at the living room. Tao, fulfilled his promise by telling them what happened.
FLASHBACK
It all started when Kris was chasing after Diana and Sehun. Everyone passed out because of the attack. Although Tao was badly injured by the the glass shards embedded into his left thigh and his body was blocked with the heavy wardrobe. He saw a black figure approaching from afar. So he pretended to be unconcious. But it turned out to be true due to the hemorrhage he was experiencing.
He woke up in a wooden house, with his arms, torso and left leg bandaged. He tried to sit up only to be stopped by an old man in a yellow silk robe. "Rest child, you need it. You've been drained out because of using too much of your time control."
"But I feel fine. How long have I been out?"
"A week or so... Here, drink this tea and come sit with me outside."
Tao complied but almost choked when the tea he drank was too bitter. He tried to remain calm and gulped it all out in one go. He followed the man outside and they were living on the hillside. The old man trained him to use his powers wisely and how not to use up his energy. By drinking the tea everyday, Tao became stronger than he used to and was handling his time controlling much better.
The old man sent him to the woods and told him that his brothers were really worried about him. He even told Tao the ingredients used to make the tea and gave Tao a wooden cocoa bracelet.
