GUMIHO | HyunSung [MAJOR EDITING]

7

Hyunjin slowly awoken from the dream. It took him a moment to realize he wasn't in the forest, but in her new medium side bedroom. Filled up boxes and white, fresh clean walls. With one large window, leading out side to outskirts of Seoul.

Hyunjin checked his samsung clock, the electronic and big bright numbers glared right back at him. Currently 3:33am, it's only been barely 2 hours before the incident between him and that boy with the Goblin the woods.

He usually fell asleep quickly, he only gained 30 minutes worth of sleep tonight. But he never really dreamed, especially this vivid. It felt like they had the same brain cell in one, as if they had a dream together. It was worrisome.

What if the boy could read his mind? Hyunjin had never really been interested in listening to his master's lectures about his past and history. But he knew that Gumiho's can change their appearance.

Could they also walk into the dreams of their victims? But he didn't want to devour this boy. He didn't understand why he had this dream. He knew Gumiho's would do this to drive humans mad before taking their livers. Hyunjin also didn't understand why Gumiho's ALWAYS wanted the livers, why not the heart? The brain?

Maybe his subconscious mind has just lost control. Hyunjin really had to stop thinking about his boy before it drives him mad. After all, he did touch his bead. Maybe that's why they shared a dream.

Hyunjin placed a hand on his heart. Are their hearts contented?

He stared at it. He thought it was a myth, he thought Gumiho's never had one. He the bead in his hands. Analyzing it, it was fascinating.

Yeji would always go on and on about them. Saying how much better they were compared to the human soul.

Maybe Hyunjin should of listen to the shaman. She was young but much more wiser then Hyunjin. He knew that.

He rolled it between his palms. The pulse was still there.

For some reason, it didn't feel like the gi he had absorbed from the Ajeossi. Bitter and stale. It was bright and sweet. Hyunjin didn't take any human energy from him. He didn't feed on him. So why is his energy in the bead? Hyunjin could guess and guess and never get the answer.

He was too afraid to tell his master.

He didn't know why he was so driven to save that boy. But that boy's actions even confused Hyunjin more. He charged at the Gumiho while he should of have fled. No he saved him.

Hyunjin squeezed the bead before tossing it into a marble bedside table. He shouldn't be thinking about the boy. The more he would the more he would want to devour him next full moon. And Hyunjin only took vicious human spirits. He had refrain and protect that boy from his inter fox.

He needed to figure out a way to reabsorb the stone. He might not know much about the myths of a Yeowu Guseul, but he knew it's proper place. The proper place was inside of the Gumiho. Hyunjin had felt an emptiness in himself. Like a puzzle piece ripped the part in the middle, leaving an annoyingly gap.

Climbing out of bed, Hyunjin made his way to his own personal bathroom. He needed a shower to get rid of all his thoughts. He needed a relaxing shower.

He ran the shower and undressed himself. His eyes landing on the band aid, he smiled. What a sweet boy. Hyunjin felt bad that he had to be in all this mess.

Hyunjin step in the shower. Letting out a chuckle as the warm liquid hit his cold skin. What a feeling. He ran fingers through his hair, and soaped his body from top to bottom. But the boy was still in his mind. He imagined him naked.

Hyunjin banged his head on the tile walls of the shower. He needed to stop. The shower was nice, but it didn't stop his thinking of the boy. He needed to stop.
