Chorong was wiping Beast's wounds but he kept on flinching, if he went on then she would never finish. "Would you please hold still?" she said. "It stings" Beast complained. I can't believe this guy is a beast Chorong thought.

"Well, there wouldn't be a wound if you weren't more careful" Chorong said. "I wouldn't have to be careful if you didn't run off" he argued. "I wouldn't have run off if you didn't yell at me" she argued back. "I wouldn't have to yell at you if you didn't go to the west wing" he argued again. "Well you should learn how to control your temper" she said with a cold voice. She finished covering his wound and walked away.

"Thank you for saving me" she said without facing him and walked away back to the room Beast had given her. "Are you alright Chorong?" a voice suddenly asked.

Chorong gasped and it was just the cabinet talking. "Where's Moonbin?" Chorong asked the cabinet. "He's under your bed, he like jumping and sleeping doesn't he?" the cabinet asked. "Yeah, he does like that" she answered and pulled the bunny from under the bed.

"There you are" Chorong picked Moonbin up but Moonbin couldn't talk. Moonbin had something different from the other bunnies, he had expressions she knew was only from Moonbin. Chorong petted Moonbin and said "what happened to Beast?". The cabinet sighed "I suggest you get to know him more, he's a really soft and sweet person on the inside".

Chorong nodded "I will trust you on this".

It was a snowy day, but the happy birds flew around like it wasn't cold at all. And like the cabinet suggested, Chorong wanted to know the Beast more. He may be called Beast but maybe there's Beauty within him as well.

Chorong held bird seeds in her hands. She saw how tense Beast was that he looked a bit angry in his coat in the winter. The birds sang together sweetly and flew towards Chorong. The bird landed on her index finger and Chorong put her hand filled with bird seeds next to the bird.

The bird picked the seeds with his mouth and ate them, Chorong smiled and sat on the cold ground so she can lay the seeds on the ground and the seeds can be shared with the other birds.

This did not go unnoticed by Beast and he stared at Chorong with admiration. His "staff" that were speaking objects watched them. "Who got this idea to get them together like this?" asked Mrs. Pot. "Maybe it was the cabinet in her room, you know how she loves love" said Lumiere. "I can't believe we're watching this, if master finds out, our time will be up!" said the clock Cogsworth.

Beast stared at Chorong and when she looked at him, he looked away like he wasn't looking at all. Chorong giggled and left the birds to walk towards him with a few more bird seeds in her hands.

She tapped Beast's shoulders and he looked at her. She placed the bird seeds in his hands and pointed her head to the birds surrounding them. Beast sighed and approached the birds. The others fled as soon as they saw him and the others just ignored him.

Beast sat on the ground keeping the seeds in his hands and just shoved his hands to the birds. Without surprise, they flew away but stayed close. Chorong sighed with a giggle and touched Beast's shoulders.

She took some of the seeds and spread them on the ground, the other birds flew closer to eat them but one landed on Beast's hands and ate the seeds. Beast smiled and lifted his hands to show Chorong. Chorong smiled at him, he smiled back "Thank you". "For what?" Chorong asked. "For not leaving me in the woods" he answered with a chuckle.

Chorong chuckled "I didn't properly say thank you last night for saving me". "I'm sorry, I just can't seem to control my temper" said Beast. "You'll learn to control it, I know you will and I will help you" Chorong said.

Beast smiled back at her and the bird in his hands flew away.

Chorong's smile made Beast feel more comfortable with her, little did he know, he was falling in love with a Beauty. "Come on, it's getting a bit cold here" she said with a small laugh. Beast smiled a bit and they walked back into the castle.

"Chorong!" he called out to her. "Can I show you something?" he asked her nervously as he rubbed his hands. "Sure, I'm quite new here, so could you show me around the castle more?" Chorong asked and Beast nodded.

Beast's hands were covering Chorong's eyes, Chorong was excited for what Beast wished to show her. "Are you ready?" Beast asked. "Yeah" she replied and when he uncovered her eyes, she was thrilled to find herself in a large library filled with book beyond the eye can see.

Chorong smiled and when she glanced at Beast he was smiling at her, she danced and twirled her dress in the library. She looked through the shelves and found boos she never read before. Her face was indescribable to Beast, her smile was good enough to make him smile and from afar, his "staff" was watching them still.

"See how he's smiling? He's obviously in love!" said Lumiere as he waved his candle hands around. "That's not important, what's important is that she will fall in love to break the curse, right now she looks like she sees him as a very good friend" said Cogsworth with his sarcastic tone. "Let's just see how it'll go, hopefully she'll fall in love with him because she's our last hope. We need to help master on this one" said Mrs. Pot with her advice-like voice.

"Well what do you expect us to do? We've tried to fix master's temper for a few years now!" said Cogsworth. "I never liked you much because of your negativity Cogsworth, but she said she would help him control his temper. So maybe, just maybe, she'll break this curse before the rose's last petal falls" said Mrs. Pot and Lumiere agreed with her.

"Beast, I don't know what else to call you-" "call me Jin" said Beast. "Okay Jin, who are you exactly? You don't have to answer me if you don't want to but I just got curious" said Chorong. "It's alright, I've always been like this so I guess being angry became a habit for me" said Beast.

"We can control that, Jin you can control it. Just because you're like this doesn't mean you have to act the way you look. Anger is never a good look in the inside. I shall repay you for saving my life with the wolves by helping you with your anger, first off, what do you say about this?" Chorong asked as she dropped a piece of paper on the ground.

"HEY! THAT'S LITTERING! PICK IT-" "stop right there" Chorong cut him off, "what if the person was naturally clumsy? Don't make them scared for something they accidentally did. It will make them feel bad about themselves, be patient". Beast nodded and picked the piece of paper up. "I'm sorry, it became a habit" he said. "Don't worry, patience is one way of getting rid of it" she reassured him with a smile.

With Sanha and Jungkook..........

"Hyung, what do we do? The queen scattered more guards around the village, it will be impossible to keep her away from Chorong is either of them come back!" Sanha panicked as he stared out the window.

"I have to send Chorong back to her world right when she comes back so the queen will never catch her. I won't open up the portal from there to here once she's back in her world" Jungkook said. "What if she doesn't want to go back?" Sanha asked. "She has no choice, same with Moonbin, we have no time to say our goodbyes, once they leave the queen will suffer" said Jungkook.

"What if they want to punish us?" Sanha asked, "Only I will take the punishment then, I brought them here, all you did was help me hide them" said Jungkook. "Won't you miss her?" Sanha asked again. "It's for her and Moonbin's safety, she has a life in the other world, she can't die here" Jungkook answered with a sad voice.

Sanha nodded and went to Jungkook's front door, "where are you going?" Jungkook asked "I need to get something at home, I'll be right back" Sanha said and left his house.

Sanha was not going to his house, he lied to Jungkook, he was going to a castle.
