"The sun is rising, we better head back" Wonwoo said once the sun started shining between the valleys.

"Awwwww" Sunoo and Heeseung whined as they ate the last slices of the cake left on their plates.

"Can't you guys stay a little longer?" Niki pleaded.

Wonwoo shook his head. "We promised the Queen we'll be back before sunrise"

"We'll, if that's so. You gotta start packing" Jin said. "Do you guys want to bring some food?"

"Well......I really want to eat some more mint choco cake" Sunoo said.

"You got it" Chan winked, running into the house and out in a zoom, now with a cake box in his hands.

"Here you go!" Chan exclaimed.

Sunoo grinned. "Thanks Chan hyung!"

"If that's all, then we must get going" Wonwoo said. And as if on cue, a portal opened right in front of them as Bang Chan and Felix stepped out.

"Had fun?" Bang Chan asked with a chuckle.

"Damn, I missed all of it" Felix pouted.

Jake laughed. "We saved some other food for you guys, don't worry" He said, handing them two plastic bags.

"Woah, how much food did you prepare?" Felix said, amazed.

Jin shrugged. "Guess we kinda cooked too many" He said, fist-bumping with Mingyu and Yeonjun.

Suddenly Jaebum peeked his head out from the portal. "Yah, get moving people!"

"Alright, alright" Heeseung shook his head as he fixed his jacket. "Bye guys" He said, before stepping into the portal.

"Bye!" Sunoo waved as Heeseung pulled him along.

Wonwoo just simply waved before stepping into the portal with his arms crossed.

Jin tapped Felix's shoulder.

Said hybrid turned around. "Yes, Jin-ssi?"

Jin pursed his lips. "The magic......the good one. It's slowly becoming weaker huh?"

"Jin-ssi" Bang Chan stepped forward. "The dark magic will not take over our world. I reassure you that" He said.

Jin shook his head. "The magic....it's getting weaker. I can feel it" He said, looking down on his feet where the green glow flickered.

The moment Heeseung, Sunoo and Wonwoo left, Sunghoon quietly left as well, running towards the lake.

He fell to the ground on his knees, tears bursting immediately.

"Why?! Just why?!" He screamed.

He didn't tell anyone what happened during Niki's party. No one saw.

"Sunghoonie" Wonyoung tapped Sunghoon's shoulder from behind.

Sunghoon turned around, startled. "Oh, Wonyoungie, I thought you left earlier?"

"I didn't" Wonyoung replied, looking away for a moment.

Silence enveloped them but Sunghoon decided to break it immediately. "Was it true?"

"Hm?" Wonyoung's gaze snapped back to him.

"That you have a boyfriend" Sunghoon said, holding in his tears.

Wonyoung was silent for a moment but giving a guilty nod. "Yes Sunghoon. I.....I have"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Sunghoon forced a smile. "I would have been happy for you" He said. 'I'll be happy if you're happy'

"I didn't want anyone else to know. Well not until I told the elders" She said. ".....Are you okay with this?"

"Y-Yeah. Definitely" Sunghoon smiled, his eyes glistening.

Wonyoung looked at the time and took a step back. "Sunghoon, I should get going, the bus will pass here in ten minutes"

"Oh. Yeah, I understand. See you next year then?" Sunghoon smiled.

Wonyoung who was about to walk away, turned around to face him. "A-About that Hoon.....this is my last visit here"

Sunghoon felt his heart broke. "W-What?"

"I'm going to America once I get back to the city"

"But.....you can still come here during my birthday" Sunghoon begged.

Wonyoung shook his head. "I'm training to be an idol Sunghoon. And once I start, I can't take a break. I hope you'll understand" She said.

Sunghoon approached her. "B-But.....Wonyoung"

The female smiled sadly. "This is my last goodbye" She said. "But don't worry, I'll make you sure to mention you on shows once I debut" She winked.

Sunghoon held her hand gently. "Wonyoung, take care please"

Wonyoung looked up to meet his eyes filled with worry. "I'll be fine Hoon. I promise"

They looked into each other's eyes before Wonyoung slipped her hands out from Sunghoon's.

"I gotta go" She said, turning his back and running out of the village and down the concrete road to the bus stop.

Sunghoon let out a stressed sigh, just before Jake was calling him for cake.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" He screamed, punching the grass as he then leaned up against the boulder by the water.

He let an exhausted sigh, as he turned to his reflection. His reflection in the water suddenly glowed, as the boy tilted his head confusingly.

The reflection of him suddenly smirked, and a hand came up.

"Gah!" Sunghoon shrieked.

What happened next shocked him.

"HELP ME!"
