The four sat on the table quietly. Ara beside Jungwoo and across her sat Miyeon beside Suho. Miyeon and Suho tried bringing the mood up multiple times but the other two was just so quiet. They felt awkward knowing that the other two across them knows about what they have done the night before.
Miyeon whispered something to Suho before standing up and patting Jungwoo, whispering something to him. Jungwoo stood up, letting Miyeon sit on his place as he sat on Miyeon's old seat.
"Do you wanna eat anything?" Miyeon asked Ara after positioning herself properly on the chair
Ara shyly shook her head before continuing on looking down like what she had been doing ever since they've entered the place.
"You know what, I'm done with your awkwardness" Miyeon said
"Suho and I have been trying to atleast make you two talk to each other, but nothing" She continued
"I'll leave along with Suho and you two, better leave this place with no awkwardness between you" Miyeon added, pointing at Jungwoo and Ara before pulling Suho out of the café
Ara looked confusingly at the two leaving the café, biting her bottom lip. She sighed.
"Look, I'm sorry. You probably didn't expect me doing that to you and I know that I somehow took advantage of you last night" Jungwoo stated, looking straight at Ara's eyes
"But please, forgive me. I can't stand you avoiding me the whole day" He added, holding Ara's hands
Ara gulped, looking at the pleading boy in front of her. She wanted to forgive him but she couldn't get any words out of her mouth. A weird feeling takes over her body when she sees Jungwoo. She would always be reminded on the incident that happened last night. She didn't see him the same anymore. She didn't see him as the soft, shy boy she knew. Instead, she saw him as some wild creature inside an innocent boy's body. Someone who took the innocence out of her. Someone who saw every inch of her. And she couldn't stand it. She couldn't control herself properly when she sees him. But she thought this would get even more worse if they kept it like this.
"Alright, I forgive you. I just.. suddenly feel weird when I'm with you and I can't describe it" She said, releasing her hands from Jungwoo's and looking down
Jungwoo pushed himself nearer and held Ara's chin with his fingers, lifting it up.
"Again, I'm sorry. Now, let's go out and follow the other two" Jungwoo smiled, grabbing Ara by her wrist and pulling her out with the other two
Jungwoo was about to call the two until he saw them running towards him and Ara with a scared expression.
"J-Jungwoo.. The.. T-The.." Miyeon panted, she couldn't speak properly after running so fast with Suho
"Catch up your breathing. I'll explain" Suho said at Miyeon, patting her back
"Jungwoo, this is really serious" Suho told Jungwoo after making Miyeon's breathing stable
"The whole warriors of the opposite kingdom are approaching our place and are attacking people" Suho said
"What?" Jungwoo said
"Are the guards atleast trying to fight them off?" Jungwoo asked
"Yes but there isn't as much as the other warriors. The rest are still getting the weapons" Suho explained
"We have to get back to the castle to get the armouries" Jungwoo said
"Ara, Miyeon, Can you two still run back to the kingdom?" Jungwoo asked the two girls
"Yes" Ara said, meanwhile Miyeon shook her head
"I'll carry Miyeon" Suho said
Jungwoo nodded as Suho put Miyeon on his back before the four ran back to the castle, trying not to be caught by the enemies roaming around the area, yelling at people to tell them to hide or evacuate.
The four of them reached the castle, running through the hallways from the backdoor. They went inside one of the armoury rooms before slamming the door locked.
Suho put Miyeon down on a chair before grabbing the things that the two of them would need for fighting. Meanwhile Jungwoo let go of Ara's hand before grabbing one of the armours made for his mother.

"Here, wear this, quickly" Jungwoo instructed the girl
He walked closer to Suho, handing him the armour for Miyeon. Suho nodded at Jungwoo before continuing on finding weapons for each of them. A small amount of time passed and all four of them were ready, Miyeon had managed to make her breathing even more stable as the four were already in their armours. Miyeon and Suho held a sword, Jungwoo held a bow and arrows while Ara held two daggers since it was the only thing she knew about fighting. They looked at each other before giving in for a group hug.
"Promise that everyone will survive this battle?" Ara asked, looking at the three
"Promise" They all said in unison
"Let's go" Suho said as the four of them left the room and joined the others.
As they were walking, a guard passed by. "King! Everyone including the villagers are in their armours and the war is located on Queen Taeyeon's land" The guard informed
The four of them thanked and nodded at him before he continued running around the castle to see if anyone was left.
Jungwoo brought them to the stable to get horses for each of them. They walked out on the horses they chose, as they went to the land of gods and goddesses where the two kingdoms are fighting.
Ara clutched the handle tightly, having a bad feeling about this fight. What if she gets killed in here? Will she ever be able to go back to her world?
She looked beside her to see Miyeon on her horse, Miyeon looked back, giving a reassuring smile to Ara. But Ara knew it was fake. She saw how scared and nervous Miyeon was based on her eyes. Ara sighed, looking back at the front.
They arrived as a trumpet was played, to signal that the rulers have finally arrived to start the war. Miyeon walked her horse closer to Ara.
"Here" Miyeon said, handing Ara a small bottle that contained a potion in it
"What is this?" Ara said, grabbing the bottle from Miyeon
"I found out how to get you back to your world this morning. Drink it. So if you were not able to survive this battle, you can be brought back to your world" Miyeon explained
Ara looked at the bottle before removing the lid "Are you sure about this?" Ara asked
"Yes" Miyeon said
Ara immediately chugged down the substance, throwing the empty bottle somewhere. She was startled when yells of creatures were heard throughout the land
