Mark: He dumped me like a used toy.
Jackson: I dumped him because he doesn't deserve someone like me.
Mark: I loved him so much. I sacrificed so much yet how can he do this to me.
Jackson: I loved him so much but he deserves someone better.
Jackson:...
"Osiris, keeper of the gate, master of all fate, hear us! Bring forth the spirit of the one who lies before us," a squirrel-like boy named Jisung chanted as he seemingly dances to non-existing music while brandishing his staff in an artistic way. He was standing in the middle of what seems to be a magician's circle, Jackson lying on the floor in front of him, while 6 others surround them. Standing on the symbol of the sun was Changbin while Felix stood on the symbol of the moon. To the North where the earth symbol is at, stood a dandy looking kid named Seungmin. To the East where the air symbol is at, stood Jeongin's father Chan. To the South where the Fire symbol is at, stood Jeongin's mother Woojin, and to the West where the water symbol lies stood a weird guy named Minho. You might be wondering who Seungmin, Minho, and Jisung are. Minho was Jeongin's and Hyunjin's boss being the chief of police, while Jisung was his boyfriend and subordinate. Seungmin, on the other hand, is Jeongin's best friend. They call themselves stray kids. They all grew up in the same orphanage along with Jackson which is why they are helping him now. They were on one of the spacious room on the building's basement, torches lighting up the place.
The circle began to shine beneath them as a gust of wind blew the torches out, first illuminating the sun, then the moon, earth, fire, air, and last is water. At this moment everyone in the circle has elevated a few inches above the ground along with a sudden change in their appearance as they repeated the chant. Changbin's hair became waist long and is now in a hue of orange like how the sky looks when its sunset. Felix now has bluish white hair that extends till half of his back. Seungmin's hair changed to ash and a stone snake coiled across his back with its head resting on his shoulder. Chan's arms became wings while his feet became talons and his hair change into a hue of green. Woojin completely changed into a lion with fire as its mane, a fiery wing also sprouts from his back. Minho changed into a merman with waist long blue hair engulfed in a water bubble. Jisung became a male elf shaman his black hair extending up to his tighs. While Jackson's decaying corpse is slowly regaining life.
Halfway through the process Felix suddenly started shaking violently, his eyes twitched while elevating a few more feet up. The others felt the change in energy and the ritual was suddenly seized. They immediately changed back to their original form as Changbin rushed to Felix to catch him. Jaebum and the others also rushed to check what happened. "He's having a vision," Changbin announced. "He'll be fine in a few minutes, let's all have a break and rest for a while," he added. "We'll show you your room," Chan and Woojin said leading the way while Jaebum and the others followed. They were led out of the room and into the hallway. They turned right into another hallway that revealed 7 doors, 3 on the left, 3 on the right and one directly across to where they stand. "Couples can occupy one room each on the right side," Chan said. "Can Yugyeom and I get a separate room? I'm not comfortable being with him," Bambam said. "As much as we want to every other room is already occupied," Chan added. "We already occupied the left side and the room on the far end," Woojin said. "Unless you want to share rooms with Seungmin," he added. "I'm fine with sharing," Bambam answered. Woojin gave a big sigh and said: "I'll ask Seungmin if you could share."
Yugyeom walked to the last room looking dejected, Jinyoung noticed this and followed him. "Hey, baby can you choose the room for us?" Jinyoung said back-hugging Jaebum and giving him a peck on the cheeks. Jaebum looked at Jinyoung as he signaled that he will follow Yugyeom. Jaebum nodded at him. When he got to Yugyeom's room he knocked and waited for an answer. "Come in," Yugyeom said. Jinyoung opened the door and silently went in. "Hey," Jinyoung said as he sat beside Yugyeom. "Hey, hyung," Yugyeom replied. Jinyoung hugged Yugyeom, at this point, Yugyeom burst out crying while he buries his face on Jinyoung's shoulders. "Shhhh, it's okay, just give Bambam some time," he said rubbing Yugyeom's back in a comforting way. "Hyung, I didn't mean to betray anyone, Youngjae threatened both Jaebum and me, we wouldn't have done it if your lives weren't at stake," Yugyeom said in between sobs. "If I had known that Youngjae would do that to Mark I would have done everything to protect them even if it means giving my own life. I shouldn't have left them back then, I should have just died," he added.
Meanwhile, "Are you going to ignore Yugyeom forever? He only did what was best for you," Jaebum said once Hyunjin and Jeongin retreated to their chosen room. "I know, it's just..." Bambam began. "I feel guilty as well that Mark hyung is suffering because of me," he continued. "Look, no one wanted this to happen, no one knew what was going through Youngjae's mind," Jaebum said placing both of his hands on Bambam's shoulder. "Go and claim your man," he added as he turned Bambam to face the direction towards Yugyeom's room and lightly pushed him forward. Bambam was about to knock when he heard Yugyeom's voice cracking. "Hyung, I didn't mean to betray anyone, I should have just died," Bambam felt his eyes became teary as he lifted his hands and opened the door. His action startled Yugyeom who break away from Jinyoung and turned around to hide his tear-stained face. "I'll leave both of you to talk," Jinyoung excused himself. There was silence between the two for a while, no one dared to say a word, "I'm really sorry Bambam I didn't..." Yugyeom started but was cut-off when Bambam suddenly jumped on him causing him to fall down on his bed as Bambam buried his face on his chest. "Stay with me, protect me as long as you live," Bambam said now also sobbing. "I will never leave you," Yugyeom said hugging the other. "I'm sorry for being hard on you," Bambam said apologetically. Yugyeom shake his head and said, "It's okay, as long as you're with me again, everything will be okay, welcome back my love,"
