The dark clouds signifies that it was about to rain. The weather was rather gloomy these days, feels like the sun is tired after giving all out its energy. Her hand was inside her sweater to help her reduce how cold and windy her surroundings were. She just finished doing her arts project after doing it for a day straight and now she's just alone on her way home. 

It was when she walked past a small store that sells all kinds of aromatherapy something caught her eye. A teen was standing outside shivering while staring at the road in front of her that was just empty, no cars passing by at that time. Zhi Ping couldn't really see her facial features as it was covered with a hoodie, an oversized one.

She must have felt a presence near her, so the girl around Zhi Ping's age jogged towards her and pulled off her hoodie. It finally let Zhi Ping saw her face. Her hair was blonde, rich brown eyes and beautiful. She noticed a scar on the right side of her neck, but afraid to offend the girl, she decided to keep it to herself.

The girl motions her hand towards the chair outside the convenient store and Zhi Ping can only follow her directions and sat down since rain started pouring. "Um I'm sorry but I guess-" The girl knew what she meant and immediately introduced herself, "Hey, I'm Winter." Zhi Ping gave a smile in return as she pull her chair closer to Zhi Ping.

"So what brings you here late at night?" Zhi Ping tried as hard as she could to break the silence. Winter only stared at her, gazing over her features carefully before she replied not answering to Zhi Ping's question. "I'm not gonna chit chat useless things to you, so I'll get straight to the point. Remember don't ever tell this to anyone beside Haechan and the Dreamies." Zhi Ping was once again confused but decided to let her continue and nodded as a response to her state. "So basically you knew that a few months ago something happened to Haechan right ? He was in a state of crisis and I decided to help him, but I wanted something in return. If he haven't told you yet, I'm actually the daughter of the queen of fire, a different dimension. It's hard to explain but Haechan basically has powers, fire element and you soon must have it too."

Winter pulled up her hoodie and stood up fast paced from her seat. "That's all I can tell you." And with that she was left as Winter disappeared in a puff of air. She was confused, disorientated and tired. She decided to just walk straight home without thinkin about it.


It was the next day after classes when Zhi Ping was walking along the road that lead to her house she decided to stop at a convenience store to get snacks for her later, seeing as she was going to watch a drama later at night. When she entered, she bowed to the owner and began walking to the shelf full of snacks.

It came to a shock for her when a loud yell echoed through her ear and a woman came in rushing inside the convenience store. The woman pointed at the car opposite to the store. Her eyes immediately trailed to the spot where the woman pointed and that's when she noticed a familiar teen trying to burn up a car.

She swiftly went to the opposite side of the road and ran to him. She grabbed hold of his wrist and dragged him out of the car as quick as possible. "What do you think you're doing ?" Haechan smirked and pulled his hand away from her hold. "He's the one who crashed me." Zhi Ping was held speechless before she continued talking. "That's no right of you to do that, get out of this place before someone notice."

With that he once again used his powers and sprints, disappearing into thin air. Zhi Ping doesn't wanna get involve and walks home petrified.


It was a Saturday morning, which shows that they'll have time to rest and no classes need to be attend. This opportunity was used by Zhi Ping to meet Haechan at Renjun's house. Apparently, the Dreamies are there, but it was one of her chances to actually talk to him face to face. 

She arrived wearing a loose t-shirt with a thin outer and sweatpants. Renjun's mother greeted her and she proceed to go in the living room. It was slightly a mess, bags of snacks scattered across the floor and blaknets were curled up in bundles. Jeno and Jaemin was on their own world, Chenle and Jisung playing video games, Mark and Renjun advising each other and Haechan was once again near the fireplace.

She walked past the rest of the boys and sat down across Haechan, making sure his face is visible clear enough to her vision. Haechan seems intimidated of her presence, but Zhi Ping decided to just shrug it away. "So wanna tell me about it ? I met her." Zhi Ping teasingly smug. Haechan on the other side who was slightly annoyed, was curious about the 'her' she was talking about. "Tell me about 'her', maybe I could slide into her dms." Haechan still calmly drinking the cup of tea beside him.

Zhi Ping was about to pout and then she straightened her posture, not wanting to be weak. "Winter, you sure know about her don't you. I know your abilities, don't make me say to them." She said as her eyes stroll to the boys who are busy with themselves. Zhi Ping smirked and then leaned forward close enough to sense his smell that infuriated her senses. Haechan flinched a bit and then coughed, "I'm now gaining my power, stop asking." 

Zhi Ping moved her body backwards and checked her phone to see the time before smiling. "Now give me the power." She replied rather quietly making sure the boys have no idea what they're saying. "Hell no." Zhi Ping saddened and her face shows it all. "But she says I will gain my power." Haechan laughed rather infuriating and lifted up her chin making sure they had eye contact. "Nobody says I will."
