After that day, the rest of the weekend pass as a blur. No matter how much Hana insists that she can be left alone, after the appearance of the demon in the middle of public, the boys refuse to leave her side. She can't even go to the bathroom without having them patiently waiting outside for her. And since they stick around so much, especially Woojin, Hayoon and Seoyun have been drilling questions at Hana like there's no tomorrow, constantly asking about him.

"Are you guys really dating?"

"Why are his friends always around then?"

"Maybe he's too shy to be alone with her."

"Then why doesn't Hana invite us?"

Hana reminds them for the umpteenth time that no, she and Woojin are not dating, nor is she dating any of the other boys. They finally let her off when she glares at them, getting tired of their persistent questions.

Thankfully, no other demons appear for the rest of the trip, but Hana still spends it in worry along with the boys, wondering how much time they had left till the next one decided to appear. They're all on high alert, especially when they get back home. Donghyun is skeptical of leaving Hana alone for the first night back, but after much protest on her part, they finally let her go once they walk her to her front door. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." She smiles, waving goodbye.

"If anything seems off, call me." Daehwi says. "I'll be right over."

Hana nods, pushing them off her door stop. "You can go. I'm fine, guys. Besides, my parents are home and if they see four boys on their lawn, they'll freak. So please leave before they try to get all of you to stay for dinner and interrogate you."

They leave with much reluctance, and after many more reminders to call them if anything were to happen, they finally disappear around the corner. Hana smiles, shakes her head, and heads inside.

Hana wakes to the sound of her phone buzzing nonstop. She grumbles about how she completely forgot to turn on Do Not Disturb last night before she fell asleep, and blindly slaps around her nightstand, looking for her phone.

When she finally finds it, she opens her eyes slowly, knowing full well that all the messages are from the boys.

Morning. You're late for school and as a result, so are we. Please hurry
8:04 AM

Hana glances at the clock and lets out a bloodcurdling scream, realizing she has approximately ten minutes till the first bell rang. She speeds to the bathroom, cleans up as best she can and throws her hair up in a ponytail, rushing to put on her uniform. She zooms down the stairs to bid her parents goodbye and flies out the door shortly after.

As she rounds the corner, she spots the four boys waiting there, all looking extremely bored.

"Took you long enough." Donghyun says, standing up from the curb.

"It was funny listening to her thoughts as she was getting ready." Youngmin grins, leaning down to whisper in her ear. "You take time to think about whether you want matching undergarments or not? Interesting aspect of your morning routine."

Hana's face grows hot, shoving him away from her. "Anyway, we have like two minutes left till school starts and I'm about to receive my first tardy." She wails, about to book it down the street.

"Hold on," Woojin says, stopping her mid-run by catching the strap of her backpack. He drags her back to them, keeping the hand on her backpack as they walk to a secluded alleyway, then tilts his head toward Daehwi. "I think you're forgetting we have someone who can teleport."

She scrunches her nose, purposely provoking Daehwi. "Can he really teleport five people at a time though?"

Woojin snorts while Daehwi narrows his eyes at Hana. "Bet." He challenges, standing in the middle. The boys all place a hand on Daehwi and he leaves his hand open for her. "Hold on tight because it's little more rocky traveling with five people. Let go and you're lost in the void forever." He grins when he sees Hana's expression falter.

She gulps, using her other hand to wrap around Woojin's arm. He looks at her with a raised eyebrow, as if asking why she was so afraid when she was the one who challenged Daehwi.

"Just a precaution." She nervously laughs, tightening her grip on him.

Then they were off, floating in space for one second, two seconds, and in the third second, they're standing on the school's rooftop. Unlike the other times Hana had experienced teleporting, it was much different like Daehwi said it would be. They had spun around while in the void, but there was no way of telling for sure when nearly all her senses were being deprived. Hana feels like she's dizzy, much more than when it was just her and Daehwi.

She slumps against Woojin, who catches her with his free arm, and she lets out a sigh of relief, glad to feel something solid against her. Hana pats Woojin's chest, thanking him. "Honestly, Woojin, you're great." She says, feeling a little delirious after teleporting. "You're so reliable."

Woojin furrows his eyebrows in confusion, and Hana swears his ears were turning red. "Thanks?"

"Alright, kiddos, we've got about thirty seconds till class starts. See you guys later!" Youngmin exclaims, taking Daehwi with him as they run down the stairs.

They arrive to their classroom just seconds after the bell rings.

"Interesting to see the class representatives and Kim Donghyun enter class late." Mr. Kim marvels. "You're lucky because I'm letting you off for today."

Hana beams, thanking her teacher, and the three dash to their seat to begin the lesson.

"That was close." She whispers, smoothing down her skirt and hair.

"Gotta live life on the edge sometimes." Donghyun snickers quietly.

Hana rolls her eyes. "You hunt demons."

"My apologies. Gotta live life on the edge always."
