"Who are you?" Asks Jeonghan as he pulls the other two behind him.

Before the person can answer a voice yells from the trees on the other side of the river.

"Geongmin!"

All their heads turn to face Namjoon. He stops right beside Seungcheol who stares at him in confusion.

"Namjoon!" Says the person now known as Geongmin.

"What are you doing here?" Asks Namjoon in confusion.

"I sensed someone tracking me and followed it here. I'm guessing it's you guys?" Says Geongmin, glancing at all of them.

"Yes, we need your help." Says Namjoon.

"With what?" She asks.

"We need to get them back to their time."

¥

"Wait so how many of you are there exactly?" Asks Geongmin.

"14." Says Samuel.

"I can barely live with this oaf." She says pointing to Namjoon.

"First we haven't even been living together for quite some time. Second, I'm older than you, show some respect." Says Namjoon

"Yeah ok. So let me get this right. You guys are from the 21st century but after touching some book that this oaf and his friends wrote you guys were taken back in time but now you have no idea how to get back?" Asks Geongmin.

"Yes." Says Seungcheol.

"I can help you." Says Geongmin. "Just one question. How far away is the 21st century?"

"687 years." Says Samuel.

Everyone stares at Samuel in shock.

"What? I can do math." Says Samuel.

"Well anyway that's going to be a problem." Says Geongmin.

"What do you mean?" Asks Jeonghan.

"The last people that came here were easier because they only traveled back around 200 years or less. You guys traveled back 600 years. That's going to be a lot trickier, especially since there's four of you." Explains Geongmin.

"But there's gotta be something. I mean we came through a book for god's sake!" Says Chan.

"Wait a book?" Asks Geongmin.

"Yeah, why?" Asks Chan.

"This is perfect! All we have to do is send you back through the book! What book is it?" Asks Geongmin.

"It's this one." Says Namjoon as he hands her the book he brought.

"Perfect, this should be much easier, but there's still one problem." Says Geongmin. "I can't do this alone. I'm going to need some help."

"From who?" Asks Namjoon.

"You, obviously." Says Geongmin.

"Geongmin you know I can't do it." Says Namjoon.

"No you just think that. Come on give it a try." Says Geongmin.

"Is it really worth it?" Asks Namjoon.

"It's your choice Namjoon." Says Geongmin.
