Wayward Kids: SKZ AU

Chapter 23

Onto a new city with new mysteries! I want to point out that this chapter has violence, gore, unhealthy relationships, etc. This is an additional trigger warning. Please keep this in mind if any of these topics bother you. With that said, I hope that you enjoy.

Then: Paju

"I'm already home" A woman garbed in a simple party dress says as she climbs out of her car. There's a large handbag thrown over her shoulder and her hair is a tousled mess. She has a phone in her hand which is on speaker phone. "Yongsun-ah," A man's voice says, "I'm just worried."

"You don't need to be, I can handle myself," Yongsun says as she walks towards the front door of her home.

"Yeah, I know," The man sighs, "I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Good night," Yongsun says as she ends the call and slips her phone into her pocket. She sighs as she digs into her bag and takes out a pair of keys. She sticks it into the lock on the door and twists. She enters home with a sigh of relief, happy to be back. Yongsun kicks her flats from her feet and drops her bag to the floor, too tired to even bother putting it where it belongs. "This is what I get for agreeing to go to a party," Yongsun groans as she gravitates towards her small living room. She flops onto her couch and lets out a sigh as she snuggles into a blue pillow. Her eyes begin to fall shut when the sound of her doorbell ringing startles her. She groans and pushes herself up. "Who in the world is that?" She asks herself. Yongsun runs her fingers through her hair in an attempt to appear a tad bit neater and fixes her dress a bit. She walks towards the door and unlocks it. She pulls it open and her eyes widen when she sees who is on the other side. "What are you doing here?" Yongsun questions.

"I need your heart," A man garbed in a blue dress shirt with rolled up sleeves says.

"Huh?" Yongsun says, not understanding what the man means.

"I need your heart," The man says again. This time though he reaches a hand out and grabs onto Yongsun's shoulders. The woman's eyes widen and she tries to shove them man, but he doesn't budge. Instead, he forces his way into her home and shoves her against the wall. "Your heart," He states once more before raising a hand from Yongsun's shoulder and plunging it into her chest. Yongsun screams in pain as he yanks the organ from her body before letting her drop to the floor.

Now

"How do you feel about a case?" Felix asks as he passes Chan a fish cake on a stick. The blonde Aussie frowns as he takes the stick and blows at it. The two have been searching for any sign of Wonpil's soul, but so far no luck. They contacted their demon friend, but all their calls went directly to voicemail. Same could be said about their angel buddy. They don't know if that's a good thing or a bad. Felix urged his cousin to just keep moving along and wait until they received news or noticed any sightings of Wonpil. Chan agreed, saying they should continue their journey. Although the blonde went along with it, he was acting a tad bit different. Quieter and more reserved now that he knows his old friend isn't in a better place. Something that Felix couldn't do anything about, no matter how much he tried. Chan needs a pick me up and what better way to give him that than going hunting. "I don't know," Chan mutters, shifting a bit so that he can lean on the car a bit more comfortably.

"C'mon," Felix urges, "You've been in a funk lately. I'm sure you've noticed it."

"What about Wonpil?" Chan asks.

"We haven't gotten any news yet," Felix says, "When we do, we'll go to wherever his soul is right away, but until then we have to keep going. Remember...you said you wanted to keep moving..."
