Yoon's POV

*Timeskip*

"Yoon, how is she?" Kija asked. I look up from my food. "She's fine, maybe she just needs some rest now."

"I feel....somehow...bound to her."

All of us look up from our dinner at the blue dragon because of his sudden statement. His eyes were fixed on the tent the girl was in. He then looked at Yona, then Kija. "Do you feel it too?" I could see Yona has no idea what he's talking about. Kija, on the other hand, knitted his brows together, evidently in deep thought. His figure is still bruised and cuts on it from Hak's treatment. "I..I feel confused when it comes to her. I definitely feel something too, though what we feel is not the same. I don't feel bound to her. I feel....weary of her. How is this possible, when we just met? We barely know her! Who is she?"

"That is something we have to find out." The Thunder Beast spoke up. "We can't be sure this girl can be trusted or if she means to hurt us. We'll find out tomorrow, but first, let's rest up everyone. We have another long day ahead of us."

On that note, everyone finished dinner and we got ready to go to sleep. I saw Yona walk off with Seiryuu and got friendlier with him as the Thunder Beast scowled at them from behind the shadows. I chuckled as I cleaned up and headed over the see if the girl is ok before I went to sleep. She was fine, peaceful as usual, with her messy hair covering parts of her face. How cute.

"Oi Yoon, stop staring at the girl sleeping. It's creepy." said the damn Thunder Beast.

"I'M NOT BEING CREEPY!!!"

"Now you're so loud you'll wake her up."

"DAMN YOU HAK! No breakfast for you tomorrow, that's final. Now excuse me whilst I go sleep in the same tent as Yona." With that I turn away on my heels and leave.

Hak is left on his knees whilst anime-crying. I feel no remorse because he deserved it.

~Timeskip to the next day~

The next day I naturally woke up early. After making breakfast, I had some extra time so I went to check on the girl. As I step into the tent to find her writhing in her sleeping bag. I quickly crouched down to check her temperature. Normal. I put her head in my lap and tried to stop her from moving so much. I looked closely, her face was was tear-stained. She looked like she was in pain. I started to panic before she started to speak quietly.

"fa...father!.....no, don't...." So it's just a nightmare.

"I can't just...run....no....no no no FATHER!" With that she jolted awake, eyes shot open to find mine staring into them. She had beautiful, purple irises that dilated with the adrenaline of her nightmare. She sat up, and quickly hugged me as she broke into a sob. I was shocked, but quickly reacted and hugged her back. We can talk after she calms down. She looks truly traumatized by something that has happened in her past. I held her as she shuddered with every sniff, and I stroked her hair. "Shh....it's ok....shhh...." I comforted, unsure of what else I was supposed to do or say. After a while, she quickly shrank away from the hug.

(f/n) POV

"I-sniff-I'm sorry about that. W-Who are you? sniff " I tried to keep my voice steady as I talked to her. You just cried into some random stranger. Cringe at how embarrassing that fact is.

"It's fine. I'm handsome genius Yoon. I've been treating you with medicine after you fainted."

"F-fainted..?......" Then it all started to come back to me. The red head. The icy feeling. The voices. Wait, the voices.

"Hey," Yoon cuts off your trail of thought. "You're in a new surrounding and will be disorientated for a bit, but let's get some breakfast first, ok? You slept straight through dinner yesterday." 

Yoon's POV

She stood up whilst holding her hand out for me to take. "Thank you, Yoon. It's been a while since I met someone as nice as you are." I smiled and stood up with her help. Her cheeks tinted pink and she averted her gaze. 

"O-ok! Let's go meet t-the others now!" Awww she's shy. Cute.

(f/n) POV

We made our way to a campfire where 4 other people were already. "I recognise the pink-haired girl and the black-haired man, they're from the cave!" I exclaim out of instinct, and I immediately bow. "I'm sorry, that was probably very rude of me...."

The girl only chuckled. "It's ok. I'm Yo-"

"Not so fast."

In an instant, the black-haired man whipped out his halberd and brought it down in front of me, narrowing his eyes at me.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

"HAK! THAT IS NO WAY TO TREAT A GUEST!!" all the others screamed, apart from the blue-haired.............yokai.

"It's ok, Princess." I started "I know the Thunder Beast is only taking precautions to protect you all."

Everyone's jaws dropped when I revealed that I knew two of the group's identities. "H-HAAA???? 

Hak threatened me again, but before he could I smirked and said, "Relax, I only figured out because you kept yelling for the princess like a bloody maniac in the ruins. The pink-haired girl is the first one you hugged when the group was rescued, so I figured out it was her. Besides, although she doesn't look like it, she has an air of royalty around her. Lastly, I pieced it together with the local news and figured you're the boyfriend of a general she's running around with, fullstop. You're just too easy to read for someone who's in hiding."

Hak dropped his halberd and his hair covered his face as he lowered his gaze to the ground. "I-I.......frien....."

"Huh? Hak? What did you say?" Yona innocently provoked him.

"I-I'm n-n-not her boyf-friend......"

After 3 seconds of silence, Yoon bursted out laughing. The white-haired male giggled slightly. Everyone else was dumbfounded. Myself included. (a/n: little do they know......)

*Timeskip*

(f/n) POV

I have decided to travel with them. Yoon said that he'd take care of me until he's sure I'm better and Yona insisted, what sweethearts. Hak agreed, since now he thought I knew too much about the group to let me leave alive. So here we are, packing up and getting ready to travel again. I see the white-haired male struggling with taking down the tents so I walk over to help him. I noticed he was struggling because of his unusually big hand.

"Here, let me do it." I say smoothly. 

"Thank you. My name is Kija, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"The name's (f/n). It's nice to meet you too."

After a while of awkward silence we took down the two tents, and I decided to ask him about his hand. "H-Hey, I, um, see your hand looks really weird.....s-so I understand if you don't want to talk about it....but.....is it some sort of genetic disease?"

"!!! G-ge-genetic disease?!?!?!?!?" *Hak can be heard laughing his head off in the background*

"Eh?! So it's not a genetic disease then...........my bad."

Yona intercepted the conversation and giggles at my remark. "Hey (f/n), let's get going, I'll explain on the way."

~timeskip~

As we made our way along the forest road to our next destination, Yona explained everything to me. Everything. The King's murder, leading to her and Hak escaping from the palace. The truth behind the new king. The dragons and how they are real. Their quest to find all 4 of them. It got her excited for what lies ahead in their adventures together. 

I can't carry out what the voices are asking me. I have to warn them.
