A/n : Ik it's not fair but please ignore if there are some typos, I couldn't proof check this chapter.

<Choi Palace>

The palace was decorated beautifully and extravagantly. Dino's birthday was meant to be celebrated with extreme joy but still, they couldn't really enjoy the party with their whole heart, knowing that there was a danger looming over them.

Mingyu and Dino were always around Taeri to keep her safe while the others had their keen observant eyes on the surroundings.

"Seungcheol." Jeonghan whispered to the older, "Someone is here, to harm us but I can't exactly point out who."

"Same." Seungcheol retorted, "The spells aren't working to figure out the exact person."

"We've to do something really soon." Joshua joined.

"And that too, silently." Seokmin added.

Soon enough, their attention diverted to Mingyu and Dino who were trying to wake up an unconscious Taeri.

"No way." All of them rushed towards her. The female staff members and medic were summoned as she was taken away to a safer place along with her mother.

"Guys, alert!" Seungcheol declared and it was that moment when the lights went off.

"Seungcheol and Jeonghan, you guys stay here and the rest of us will spread out in different directions." Joshua suggested as the eleven of them and several guards left the hall.

"Seungcheol- Seungcheol?! You hear me??" Jeonghan worded out several times, "We can't hear anyone? What the hell is happening?!"

Seungcheol squinted his brows, "C'mon reply, at least!!"

Everyone was lost in the dark room where they couldn't hear each other.

"It's a spell." Seungcheol muttered beneath his breath as he reached for Sunwoo and Ara to check on them first and foremost while Jeonghan was trying to do the same.

"What-" Seungcheol couldn't complete when he felt a pair of arms wrapped around his shoulders from the back.

Seungcheol frowned as he turned around to witness Jeonghan, his face pale and his eyes welled up with tears while he whimpered out a small cry as his sword fell off his hands.

It was when Seungcheol noticed, a small blue sword struck into Jeonghan's back.

Seungcheol's eyes widened, "JEONGHAN?!"

The spell finally seemed to end as everyone could hear the loud scream that left Seungcheol's mouth. The lights were back as all the attention was on the duo.

Jeonghan's legs wobbled as he began to stumble down. Both of them collapsed on the floor as Seungcheol rested the younger's head on his lap, tears streaming down his eyes.
