"I am reminding you once again,", San tells Wooyoung with a low voice and a warning gaze as they are about to step onto the travel circle, "but don't get your hopes up, Wooyoung. I still fucking hate you and that will never change."

Wooyoung rolls his eyes at that, knowing San has felt the need to mention that just now because last mission, he was helping him out again. They were once again trapped in a dark space and because Wooyoung could literally not see anything at all, San held him by the wrist and dragged him along with him. Wooyoung was listening to people's thoughts in the meantime, using them as a guide to find out where to go so they would find the item they were looking for.

How incredibly childish of San to now feel the need to remind Wooyoung that there is nothing positive between the two of them. It is honestly just very ridiculous. So much so in fact that Wooyoung has already talked about it with the other three members of Aurora he is familiar with.

Seonghwa felt bad in assuming that San is just a bad person in general. He knows how nice he can be, even though Wooyoung found it hard to believe when he said that to him. Of course it does not really help that Seonghwa kind of feels like the group mom at times, making his judgement a rather important one for every member of the organisation. But Hongjoong only agreed with Seonghwa, saying that San is not completely bad. He personally assumes that he might have some trauma issues that could have lead to his immense hatred against gay people.

But then again, Wooyoung thinks that is simply stupid.

No trauma should be able to justify his stupid ass behaviour towards Wooyoung. At least that is what Wooyoung thinks. Plus, he is convinced that San is just an asshole in general, who is good at hiding that side of his in front of anyone who is not gay, apparently. At least as long as he does not know about someone's non-heterosexual tendencies, San seems just fine. Which again, is absolutely ridiculous.

But Wooyoung agreed to being a part of this group. So he would stick to it still. He does not verbally answer San's warning at any moment, simply bites back his words when they arrive in some different kind of world to the previous ones they have been in. Seonghwa told them before they came that he had a feeling it could be a harder one, as it was in one of their piles of travel codes that were meant for a proper team to do. Yeosang said he was convinced Wooyoung was well prepared and Hongjoong could say the same about San. So Seonghwa decided to trust them and sent San and Wooyoung out to get this mission down. Now they are here together.

San only reluctantly agreed to being here for this mission today, having a previously set engagement to tend to in the evening. But due to him taking this all very seriously, he promised to go and get whatever resource they need to get for today to then get back in time to help out his best friend as promised.

With both of them not being too happy at all to be in this alternate reality together and at this time, things are still awkward, but moving on just like they have to.

They have ended up in what is some dreary, outside colony retreat. Every building around them is made of stone. The ground is simple, dried up grass with some flat stones building an occasional path. Some are even seemingly randomly placed, not connecting to anything at all. The buildings are small, almost like huts, made of long, slim stones that have not been shaved or cut down to any symmetrical or smooth shape. The roofs are made of wood and some huge leaves on top, those being completely dried out as well.

It is truly surprising how dry everything looks, despite there being a stream that is flowing through the area at least twice from what they can see from where they have arrived. The sun is not any extra hot either though. The weather is actually quite alright, maybe even a little on the cooler side. But that only makes them both even more glad to be wearing their travel suits. Wooyoung does not know what kind of high quality magic material they are made of, considering they are not too warm to wear when it is hot out, but not making them feel cold either whenever they are somewhere that has more of a colder climate.
