  "Why did you want us down here?" Miyu frowned, looking at all of the bottles and books Byeol had collected over time. Motioning the four over to take a seat, the fairy didn't fail to notice Seungmins closeness to Miyu.

  "Miyu, when you and Airi fainted, I collected blood samples of you two to study. Are you comfortable hearing what I have to say next?" She softly asked. Watching Miyus eyes travel to the males, he gave her a reassuring smile.

  "Yeah, I'm prepared."

  Pulling out her journal, she cleared her throat. "Okay. The two of you have two major differences that I noticed. Though Seungmin shouldn't have the same qualities as a born mage, you all three have a similar component that only born mages have.."

"We are mages?" Miyu frowned, receiving a head shake from byeol.

"Not entirely. To put it in simpler terms... You both are a quarter human, a quarter mage..." She trailed off. "And half of something else.. and that.. i'm not too sure yet."

"So.. where does the difference come in?" Seungmin finally spoke, asking the question no one else wanted to. With a deep breath, she thought for a moment.

"Seungmin has component A. Airi has components A, B... and C in her blood. Miyu, you have components A, B.. and D. For both of you, C and D is a total of half your DNA. Does that make sense?"

The three sat in silence for a moment, slightly stressing the older. "Any questions?"

"How.. how can we figure out what's missing?" The youngest spoke, feeling her girlfriend reassuringly rub her shoulders.

"I collect blood of the species that have Components C and D. Jinae, I doubt either of them are vampires, but I'd like to test you just to get it out of the way." Byeol informed, receiving a nod immediately.

  "I'll also test myself as well."

  "So.. how.." Miyu started. Having her dreams replay in front of her, she could feel a headache forming from all the information. "What were our parents... if our blood is so mixed.."

  Byeol went silent, only shrugging.

"Oh, what are you doing here Min?" Hyunjin frowned upon noticing him.

  Plopping next to the male on the couch, he let out a deep sigh. "Do you two have a moment to talk? I'd like to voice some concerns.."

Both Minho and Hyunjin put their phones aside, giving the younger their full attention.

  "What's up?"

"Shimajo. I have a feeling we aren't done dealing with that fucker." He huffed.

  Minho frowned. "He's a suspect of another murder from a while ago.. he's one stubborn bastard."

"What murder?"

"A friend of mine." He bluntly stated, blowing off the topic. "Just let us know what we can do. We want the girls safe too."

-- two days later

  Going through the collection of homemade dresses she had obtained, Airi finished tying up the corset as her phone began to ring.

  "Hello?" She spoke, holding up the device with her shoulder. Grabbing the phone immediately upon hearing what sounded like sobbing, she began to worry. "Yukari? Hey, what's wrong?"

"S-s-shes g-gone."
