In the kingdom of Hallyu, a set eleven people are magically selected from the citizens to rule the kingdom known as the "Chosen". But when the first set of rulers suddenly disappear without a trace and the newly-selected second set of Chosen were as...
Faster than anyone, Daniel shot out of his seat and unabashedly scrutinized Seongwu's neck. Seongwu, on the other hand, blushed at Daniel's sudden invasion of his personal space.
"Wow, interesting. He uses such subtle yet delicate fragrance." Daniel thought when he pried closer to look for the "tattoo" Eunwoo was referring,"What are you thinking! Snap out of it! You have a duty to perform."
Daniel circled Seongwu from left to right. Seongwu's face was red as a tomato while Daniel's ears were glowing red. Everyone else was low-key amused by the sight until Daniel gasped.
"This solves everything!" Daniel blurted out.
"Is it what we think it is?" Jisung told Daniel.
Daniel looked at each present Chosen before speaking,"Yes, sir. Confirmed 100%." Daehwi, Minhyun, Jisung, Kuanlin, Jinyoung, and Sungwoon understood what Daniel meant and they all nodded.
"What? What is it?" Seongwu was nervous about what Daniel discovered.
"Please, tell us." Eunwoo begged.
Daniel let out a sigh before going back to his seat.
"Everyone, calm down and take your seats." Daniel eased up the tension.
"Seongwu, what we are about to tell you is very important. We want you to stay calm and listen for you to completely understand. Same goes to Troas." Jisung briefed everyone,"Daniel, please take over."
"Okay. Before I start, Kuanlin can you please get that box from my room. Thank you." Daniel politely asked Kuanlin.
Once Kuanlin returned with the box, Daniel started his explanation.
"Seongwu, I will go directly straight to the point. Are you ready?" Daniel wanted to confirm.
"Just tell me what I need to know." Seongwu replied in a calm manner.
"Seongwu..." Daniel paused for dramatic effect,"... Congratulations and welcome! You are a Chosen."
"Chosen? What chosen?" Seongwu didn't get it.
Troas, on the other hand, simultaneous gasped as soon as Daniel revealed the truth,"He is one of the Chosen also?"
"One of the Chosen..." Seongwu fell silent after hearing that phrase,"Don't tell me..."
"Yes, Seongwu. That Chosen." Sungwoon confirmed after hearing Seongwu's thoughts.
"You mean I am one of the eleven Chosen destined to rule our kingdom but were supposed to be dead eleven years ago?" Seongwu spoke all of that in one breath.
"Yes. That mark on your neck just below your right ear, which Eunwoo saw, was you mark as a Chosen. A proof of your status." Daniel further explained.
Seongwu stood up, roamed around and looked at the first mirror he could find. There it was, below his right ear, was a wolf and the number 5. As Seongwu looked at it through the mirror in awe, he unconsciously made it glow, surprising himself and Troas.

"What just happened?" Seongwu panicked.
"Relax. The mark of the Chosen can glow at the command of its bearer. That is another proof of authenticity of your status as a Chosen." Jisung said,"We can also do that."
"We?" Seongwu's brows met in confusion.
Jinyoung, Minhyun, Kuanlin, Jisung, Daehwi and Sungwoon one by one showed their marks to Seongwu and made them glow also. As they did, Seongwu's mark glowed once again. Seongwu's and Troas' jaws dropped.
"What an incredible sight." Jinjin murmured so that only his members could hear. His members nodded in agreement.
"So, you six are also..." Seongwu pointed at them with disbelief on his face.
"Like you said earlier, we are eleven. So, hello there, fellow Chosen!" Sungwoon first greeted Seongwu, followed by the rest.
"This also means that you are, most definitely, chronokinetic, Seongwu-hyung." Kuanlin reminded him, to the amusement of everyone.
"So, I can manipulate time? Sweet!" Seongwu remarked mindlessly.
"Now, now. Before you get excited, receive this locket and wear this as a symbol of your acceptance to your destiny." Daniel handed a locket to Seongwu.
"As you can see, it is empty right now. But it won't be like that for long, once you wear it." Minhyun mentioned.
Intrigued by Minhyun's comments, Seongwu wore the locket and as he did, his mark glowed again and his picture appeared inside the locket. Meanwhile, Troas immediately bowed down to Seongwu.
"Woah, woah, woah. Stop that. Get up, everyone. That is so weird. Never do that again, please!" Seongwu honestly expressed.
"But you are a Chosen." MJ reasoned.
"Doesn't matter. Just treat me like everyone else." Seongwu answered back.
"Our thoughts exactly. Just treat us like how your treat your friends." Jisung seconded,"Now, now. It is almost midnight. We need to rest. Seongwu, are you staying?"
"Can I?" Seongwu reluctantly answered.
"Of course, hyung. There are plenty of rooms to spare." Rocky reassured.
With that, everyone hit the sack, tired from the battle.
