Hoseok stared at Hemlock in surprise for a moment.

Their face was shaded by their hood, but he could see an unnatural glint of the eyes, like too much time in the woods had made them beastly, almost not human.

They were dangerous, anyone could tell.

"Well, what can I do for you Hoseok?"

How did they know his name?

A question that would never be answered.

"Why do they call you Hemlock?"

Hoseok hadn't meant to ask that, it just came out.

Hemlock stared at him curiously; no one had ever talked to them, not about anything but what they wanted Hemlock to do.

They didn't know how to feel about it.

"Call it a nickname."

"Can I trust you?"

"What do you think? You know, there's more than one type of Hemlock. 50/50 chance baby."

Hoseok looked confused, and Hemlock stepped closer to him with an unsettling  smirk.

"You willing to take the risk?"

Hoseok took a deep breath before looking back at Hemlock.

"I don't have another choice."
