Yunho

         "How are you holding up?" Mingi asks me and I sigh. I was hurt pretty badly from the Wendigo and remember the pain, but it feels like a distant memory. Going back to dancing helps and keeps my head clear, but I still don't know how to feel after that.

         "I'm holding up as well as you'd expect. That thing was worse than a demon..." I comment and he nods. I would be happy never to fight another monster like that, but with so many people moving to Korea with their own beliefs we should expect new creatures to pop up.

         The power of belief is strong, enough people believing that they've seen something can bring one around. Enough people who believe in a Wendigo living in an area that's never had one before can bring one to reality. Maybe it was a spirit that had already been close to it, but that last nudge changes them.

         "I hope things don't get too bad. We've already had a Wendigo, and before that we've had sightings of a Kelpie. A lot of creatures from the west in general have been coming over, and it's making it hard on Yeosang hyung and SeongHwa hyung." Mingi says, laying on my bed.

        "Agreed, our jobs are going to be a lot harder now. Demons and spirits are easy compared to that Wendigo and the potential for anything from the west." I say as I lay down, putting my head on his chest.

         "Well, all I can say is I hope things get better," he tells me, running a hand through my hair. I sigh and fall asleep on him.

Mingi

         Waking up I find Yunho on my chest still, and he is humming lightly in his sleep. Jongho is rummaging around in his dresser finding clothes.

         "Might want to wake him up, everyone seems to be waking up later than expected." he tells me before running off to, what I guess is, to get a shower. I shake Yunho, and smile at his morning blush.

         "What time is it?" he asks, sitting up and stretching.

         "Later than we should be getting up by what Jongho said." I chuckle and he just groans. We get up and grab clothes to change into for practice.

         "You stay home and rest okay?" I hear HongJoong say as I come out of my room dressed and ready to go. He is talking to SeongHwa as I grab a quick bite.

         "I want to be with you guys though."

         "Look, the best thing you can do is rest. You can't even sit properly yet. Please stay home, and we will do our best." he tells SeongHwa and everyone agrees. We just want him to get better.

         "I wish this was something I could heal, but I can't. I can't heal sprains hyung." San says as he finishes his food. It's true, he can't heal a sprain, or a past injury, surgeries either, but thankfully Jongho has been doing fine after the photo shoots.

         After we finally talk him into staying home everyone gets their things together so we can go to the cars. We all hug SeongHwa hyung and he goes to lay down. The rest of us head out to practice at the company.

Wooyoung

         After practicing for a while I head over to sit with San, he is drinking water and taking a break. Everyone was wanting to break for lunch and we would come back after, so I figured I'd talk to him.

         "Hey, what's up?" he asks as I sit.

         "What were you thinking for food?" I ask and he looks at his water bottle.

         "I was just going to have what you were having, I don't mind where we go." he replies. I look at him shocked.

         "Did you... Did you just ask me out?" I ask, shocked and almost too loud. He chuckles and nods, which makes me blush.

         "Well, why not? I really like being around you." he tells me, then takes another drink of water. I watch as he stands up, grabbing his shirt he wears over his t-shirt.

         I stand up and say a silent thanks that nobody was around to hear me freak out over him asking me out. I grab my light jacket and we head out. I don't know where we are walking but I know what I am wanting for food.

        Before long we are standing in front of my favorite food place. I haven't been here with San before so I just stare at him, but he just smiles back. After getting sat in a dining room I look up at him.

         "How did you know I love this place?"

         "I asked Yeosang where you like to eat. He told me about this place, and I thought it was a good place to try. I love crab, so it's a win win." he explains, grinning at me as I stare in disbelief.

         We order and he sits quietly, but eventually he starts talking about what happened when I woke up in his arms. I look down and fidget a bit.

         "Well, I do remember what happened." he confesses, giving a soft smile.

         "What do you mean?" I ask, a bit nervous, but he just looks at me with a smile. He places a hand carefully on his neck, looking happy. He remembers the kiss?! I think as he seems to chuckle to himself.

         "The soft kiss was sweet, and yes, cute." he says as he looks me in the eye. My breath hitches and I can feel myself blushing. I hide my face when the waitress brings our food.
