Wayward Kids: SKZ AU

Chapter 9

One of these weeks I will realize the day and actually post. I'm actually surprised I got this out now and not five days later. Anyway, I want to preface this chapter once more by saying I wrote it before the special guest characters ended up breaking up. Their actions are fictitious and not meant to offend anyone. With that said, please enjoy.

Then: Gwanak-gu

A woman with pitch black hair sits on a brown plush couch flipping through a photo album. She is garbed in a form-fitting neon green spaghetti strap tank and gray sweats. She lets her finger run over a picture of a blonde haired man standing beside her with his arm placed lightly around her waist. A shaky smile blooms onto her face as she lets out a quiet sigh. She moves her hand to flip the page, but before she can her doorbell rings. The woman frowns and glances up at the time, wondering who it could be at this hour. She pushes herself off the couch and makes her way over to the front door. She undoes the lock and opens the door. "Hello?" She says as she opens it up completely. Her eyes widen and her mouth drops open as she sees who stands outside. "D-dawn," She stutters.

"Hyuna," Dawn says in an even tone.

"H-how is this p-possible?" Hyuna stutters, taking a step back. Dawn doesn't say anything as he enters the woman's apartment. His blonde hair is matted and coarse. He is garbed in an unzipped red puffer jacket on top of an oversized white shirt and oversized black vinyl pants. Dawn approaches Hyuna at a steady pace, one step after another. "Hyuna," Dawn states again.

"Dawn..." Hyuna says in a breathy tone filled with a mixture of fear and longing.

"Hyuna," Dawn says. He reaches a hand out to grasp the woman's shoulder. Hyuna tenses a bit as his cold hand touches her skin. "Who are you?" Hyuna questions, eyeing Dawn warily.

"Hyuna," Dawn says robotically as he grabs tighter onto the girl. Hyuna winces and tries to shake him off of her, but his grip holds true. She stares at Dawn, who has an unnerving smile slowly appearing on his face. Dawn uses all his strength as he pushes Hyuna back. The woman shrieks as she goes flying and hits the back of the couch. She groans in pain and looks up at Dawn, who is creeping towards her. "Stay away, Dawn. Stay aw-ahhhhhhhh!" Hyuna yells as the odd man looms over her with his arm raised and his hand clenched into a fist.

Now

"Okay, we really can't be making stops like these every time," Felix huffs as Chan parks the car in front of a graveyard, "We're never going to find what Wonpil is up to if we keep doing this."

"I can't just walk away from that," Chan says, "It's like driving past someone flashing vampire teeth." Felix sighs as Chan pulls his keys out of the car and exits the vehicle. He follows his cousin and shakes his head, not happy with their ever so frequent stops. The cousins make their way over to a headstone that sits in front of a completely dead tree in a perfect circle of dead grass. "Unholy land," Chan murmurs.

"So, what do we have here?" Felix questions.

Chan shrugs, "Whatever it is...it's something unnatural...or this never would have happened." The blonde hunter walks around the gravestone to look at the other side. He frowns when he notices weird markings drawn faintly on the back. He reaches for his phone and opens up his camera. He takes a picture before slipping his phone back into his pocket. "Can I help you boys?" A voice asks. The cousins turn around to see a man garbed in a black suit. There is a small nametag on his lapel that says grave director. "Ah, well, we just were paying our respects," Felix says.

The man nods, "Was he a friend of yours?"

"Yeah," Chan says.

The man sighs, "It's such a shame that he killed himself. He was so young." Felix and Chan exchange a look at this, not having expected for that to be the cause of this person's death. "What about this circle?" Felix asks.
