"Ok, so I'm the only one who thinks that this is completely weird." Said Changbin. "Don't you always think hyung?" Asked Seungmin. "Maybe~ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Anyways, Tao YOU MET GRANDPA KIM?!" he asked as Tao nodded. "Ok, now I've gotta hear this. It's exciting!" Said Rosè as she badly wanted to know his side of the story. Tao chuckled as he brought Rosè closer to him while he stared telling everyone about how he met Grandpa Kim.

"When he was younger, he used to hang out with Nina's grandmother, her friends, Byeong-ho, JYP I think, and even Chan and Hyunjin's dads." He started off as Hyunjin's eyes widened with shock. Tao kept going as everyone listened. "It was actually Chan's dad who didn't want to tell about the problem with his chest and, he started going mad before-" "woah woah woah!" Said Tori as Tao raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with his chest?" She Asked as the pakari boys looked at her and their four human friends as Felix kept his mouth shut.

"What?" "T-there's nothing wrong with his chest, it's just, well. How do I explain it? Uhhhh-" Chan then paused before sighing. "Either way, because of finding out that pakari cry golden tears when their sick, Kim really wanted their tears for getting rich and the eyes for staying young forever. Most of the pakari left for Jeju island after that, but some like you guys stayed here and~ the rest is history." Tao finished. "Wait, Jagiya, why didn't you tell us before?" "I mean, none of you really asked about it." Tao answered.

"Good point." Said Ro.

No one was in danger after what Grandpa Kim did, though Chan still felt an odd chill in his spine as he felt his heart beat though when he touched where it was supposed to be, he felt a giant hole instead. He calmly chuckled at the weird feeling. "I sometimes wonder how we can survive without hearts." He muttered to himself. "Guys, I'll be right back. I gotta check on someone- something!" Said Seungmin as he and Jisung ran straight into the forest, going away from the village.

Rather right to a slightly nearby bush, though it was still far away. A red panda then peeked from a random tree as he then called out to the two boys. "And hi to you too, Seungkwan!" Said Jisung as the red panda then hopped on his shoulder. "Is she ok?" He asked, Seungmin nodded as he then leapped off and landed on the ground as he led the boys to a young teenager who looked like they were sleeping peacefully.

"Zen, you awake?~" Seungmin softly asked as the teenager turned out to be a girl as she woke up from her dream.

"Is your arm feeling better?" The girl nodded as she rolled up her sleeve. She looked around Ally and Bianca's age as Seungmin smiled at her before looked at her bandaged arm. He then pressed a hand on it as it then slightly glowed a soft golden while little sparks of pixie dust surronded her arm as the rest of her scars slowly healed on its own. "And that should do it." He said. "You can take the bandages off, Zenzi." Jisung said with a giggle as he helped her take them off.

Zenzi started to move her arm, hand, and fingers as it was good as new! She stayed silent for a while as she was shocked about it as her ears wiggled. "Holy crap, you guys are Jesus!!" She finally yelled as Jisung held in his laughter and shook his head. "We're not Jesus, just helping out nature as all ya dorky monkey elf!" He said, poking her nose. Zenzi giggled as they were right about her species.
