With the stranger on SeokJin's back, the four boys hurriedly return to the Sanctuary. Running past through a small crowd through the darkly clouded hallway, filled with eyes of confusion and surprise, SeokJin managed to reach the medical room.
It was a small place for those who need treatment and not everyone needs a treatment that much. They could easily heal themselves with blood of any kind, but for those who are in grave danger requires to go to the medical hall.
"Sul Hee, help! We found someone right outside the Sanctuary. He needs help." SeokJin blurts out and carefully places the half-awaken lad onthe bed with the help of NamJoon.
Sul Hee rushes to his side and checks the patient. He was pretty much alive and breathing, regardless of sleeping outside and being covered in soil and dead flowers from head to toe.
"Do you know him?"
"Not someone that I know of. We were just walking around for a bit outside. There weren't any signs of a nearby being ... not that I was aware of."
Sul Hee picks up a towel and dampens the cloth with lukewarm water. The stranger is finally awake, yet is quiet and confused at the same tiime, "Where ... am I?"
She lightly scrubs the dirt off of his face and his features fully came into view. The four boys were surprised at his young features. None of them recognise him and neither did he. The stranger looks around, but not too much to the point where he'd strain his eyes.
Situations like this would sometimes cause instant confusion and chaos, but in the stranger's case, his heart is peacefully calm.
"You're in the Kingdom of the Sanctuary. May I ask, what's your name and what were you doing outside?" Sul Hee asks.
The stranger takes a moment to answer. His mind is blank and he can only recall one thing, "My name ... is Jung Hoseok. I ... I don't know. I was sleeping ... but I don't remember anything."
Were his memories cleared out? Where had he come from, to be exact? Was he reborn right by the Sanctuary?
SeokJin was hesitating whether to approach his parents about this matter. He badly wants to know where Hoseok's whereabouts used to be and his story. The fact that he remained calm without recalling anything, especially as to how he ended up there, overwhelmed the four men in uncertainty.
Usually, they'd start losing their mind and mumble incoherent words to themselves. Irrational thoughts might cross over. They might end up pushing everything away. Some might even dare to run past through them as if the people who saved him were serial killers.
None of that was happening at all.
SeokJin steps forward and clears his throat. He was quite nervous meeting new people, especially being the prince and all. He did not want them to treat him as the almighty prince and all. He just wants to blend in a simple life, be more confident and have friends at least.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Hoseok. I'm SeokJin."
Trying to ask him any questions related to the past would not bring any answers at all. For now, they could only go through the Majesties for further help. Even though they had their hands full, SeokJin has no hesitation to ask them for aid.
However, Hoseok seemed unbothered by his new surroundings and remains staring at the floor. There was nothing crossing through his mind. It was strange that he could only recall his name, but not his past.
"Prince SeokJin." Sul Hee snaps the young lad out of his trance.
Hoseok slowly raised his head up at the mention of SeokJin being the prince. He figured they'd have to introduce each other later on and even better, get to know each other better.
