Hana and her friends are planning out what they want to do for their few hours of free time when Woojin approaches them, smiling gently at Hayoon and Seoyun. "If you don't mind, I have to borrow Hana for the day. Mr. Kim gave us some things to discuss." He explains, looking too comfortable to be lying so easily to people's faces.

Hayoon smiles, wiggling her eyebrows at Hana. "Of course, Woojin! Take her for as long as you need!"

Hana furrows her eyebrows at Hayoon, confused by the knowing tone of her voice, but it doesn't take her long to realize why. Hayoon knows Woojin is lying, but she thinks it's for a totally different reason; she thinks Hana and Woojin are dating. Hana shakes her head subtly at Hayoon, eyes pressing as she tries to get it across without saying it out loud. But, Hayoon ignores it and begins to hum happily, turning her attention to Seoyun.

"Have fun, you two!" Seoyun calls out behind them as Woojin tugs Hana up by her arm and leads her away. Hana glares at her friends, mouthing, You're so dead later. Seoyun laughs, throwing her arms up to form a heart.

Hana groans and hides her face in her free hand as she drags her feet. She follows Woojin out to the terrace, where they pass by many other students as they exit the hotel. She frowns, wondering where it is that he's taking her. They turn into an alleyway and follow it down past the busy streets and bustling pedestrians on the sidewalk. There's no one else around, only the tall apartment buildings that surround them. Other than that, there were only large dumpsters and a few broken pieces of furniture that residents decided to throw out.

"Where are we going?" Hana asks, kicking a wooden arm rest back toward its other matching, but worn out pieces. Woojin releases his hold on her wrist, letting it slip from his hand as he shrugs and pushes his hands into his pockets with a meek smile. The skin of her inner wrist tingles where Woojin's fingers brushed against, and Hana tries to wipe the feeling away with her other hand, feeling the pulse of her heartbeat increase as her thumb rests on top of her vein.

"Tracking some demon activity around town." He answers.

"I like how you're willingly telling me these things now." Hana beams in satisfaction.

Woojin glances at her passively. "It's either I tell you now or you pry it out of me later. The rest are out too and I would rather not have to come back to another kidnapping case."

"So I'm just a burden to you." Hana deadpans.

"You're not." Woojin quickly says, turning abruptly. "I'm sorry if it came out that way, I didn't mean for it to." Hana keeps her gaze on him for a few seconds, then blinks and smiles. "Alright. Well, why bring me out closer to the demons then?"

Woojin faces front again, waiting for her to continue walking alongside him. "I'm more at ease to have you here with me than alone back at the hotel."

"And if I run for it?" She grins, wanting to tease him.

He smiles, gesturing for her to try. "Go for it."

So without wasting any time, Hana whips around, bolting down the alley back toward where they came from. She nearly makes it to the end of the alleyway before she's lifted off the ground about ten feet up, yelping as she flies backwards. Her hair whips around her face, eyes wide as she is spun around to face Woojin, landing softly on her feet right in front of him. Her legs shake from the adrenaline rush, balancing herself against him with a hand on his arm as she breathes out, "I forgot you have powers."

Woojin smirks, "C'mon, we have demons to track."

After meeting up with the rest of the boys, Hana drags them all to the open fountain she heard about from one of the girls in her class. There are already a few kids running about the place as their parents play with them.

Hana beckons them to hurry, coming to a stop right where the water only splashes and licks at her toes, but from behind, Donghyun comes running at full speed and pulls her straight in as the water erupts around them. Hana screams and laughs, shoving Donghyun for getting her soaked. Daehwi runs in after them, pushing Donghyun through to make sure he got thoroughly soaked as well.

From a safe distance, Woojin shouts, "We don't have any extra clothes!"

"Oh, quit being a party pooper, we can go back to the hotel." Youngmin rolls his eyes.

"I don't want to get wet." Woojin grimaces, backing up some more. "You're missing out then." Youngmin shrugs, then leaves Woojin to run in after the others.

Donghyun whips around, smiling widely at Woojin. "Woojin, I want a hug!" He sings, walking toward him with open arms.

Woojin puts a hand out to stop the advancing boy. "Please don't."

"C'mon, Woojin! Just one hug!" Donghyun says, refusing to back down. Hana bounds to Donghyun's side, joining him in trying to get Woojin to the water. "You can let Donghyun drag you in, or you can come on your own free will with me." She holds out a hand, palm up, waiting patiently for his answer.

In a flash, Woojin is throwing his hand in the air, and Hana can barely catch a glimpse of what she recognizes as his crystal before his other hand grabs hers and yanks her toward him, as the glamour quickly descends. She gasps, stumbling into Woojin, eyes closing in reflex. She opens them no more than a second later, but somehow, Daehwi and Youngmin had already teleported to their side.

Hana has a bad feeling about what's happening because if Woojin cast a glamour, it could only mean one thing.

There's a demon nearby.
