Seoyeon would have slept through the entire day if it weren't for the shrill siren noises in her ears. She grimaced as she watched the passengers alongside her being tossed around and beaten by the force of the turbulence on the plummeting aircraft. The only thing keeping her in her seat was the thread of seatbelt that remained. She kept her head plastered to the back of the seat so her neck wouldn't be snapped like a twig. She tried to scream, but the air rushing past her ears and the obnoxious alarms deafened her, so she couldn't tell if she was in fact crying out. She wanted nothing more than to be back in her mother's arms, but that was never going to happen. 

      There was something strange about this flashback in particular. The passengers in the plane with her were... familiar. She looked left and right and was shocked when she saw Kyungsoo and Yixing. There were others-- Chen, Chanyeol, Kai... all of them... they were flying past her and being thrashed like ragdolls. She watched in horror as Chen was impaled, as if she couldn't look away. She shrieked and reached out for Kyungsoo, but it was too late. He was dead, his neck nearly severed. She clenched her jaw and tried to grab Yixing's hand, but he slipped away and was ripped in half by flying shrapnel. She felt her heart breaking slowly and painfully, but then... suddenly, reality appeared before Seoyeon and she was no longer in the plane. She was in the mansion with the twelve boys, but more specifically, in her room with Kyungsoo. She panted and trembled as Kyungsoo grasped her arms. She reached up and held him tightly. 

      "K-Kyungsoo, please don't leave me," she pleaded. She feared nothing more than losing her newfound friends. Kyungsoo was confused and concerned as Seoyeon had been screaming and frantically calling out his name for the last five minutes. He figured she was having another night terror, but feared it was worse when she began flailing and grasping at the air. He rocked her back and forth and looked back at the figures in the doorway. Yixing, Kris, Chen, Chanyeol and Minseok were standing there, all wondering what happened. Seoyeon caught her breath and shakily stood up with Kyungsoo's help. She looked up at the boys and began to tear up. She bit her lip and rubbed her arm awkwardly.

      "I'm sorry for disturbing you all," she whispered. She slowly approached Yixing and looked him over with moist eyes. She whimpered before wrapping him in a tight embrace. What she saw... It could never be unseen. She held him for a moment before letting go and hugging Kris. She felt his hands rubbing her back softly, in attempts to comfort her, but it wasn't working as well as he might have hoped. She hugged Chanyeol and Minseok before stopping at Chen. He looked skeptically at her, debating in his mind on whether or not she would hug him, and was shocked when she grabbed him tightly and held his trunk. He reacted slowly, but surely enough, he reciprocated and petted her back gently. 

      "It's okay... you're home now," he whispered into her hair. She sobbed silently on his shoulder for a few moments before pulling away and blushing. She bit her lip and pushed past them. She wiped her face and slowly made her way down the stairs. The boys couldn't help but watch her leave, as if they were frozen there. How could such a bright and wonderful young girl experience such pain? She turned around and took a deep breath. 

      "Kyungsoo," she called up the stairs. She saw him peak from behind the other boys and took another deep breath. "P-Please, can you come with me?" He exchanged brief glances with Jongdae before scurrying past them and down the stairs. He approached her and followed behind her as she started walking. He followed her out the door and to the path outside the house. He took a deep breath and concentrated before speaking. 

      "Seoyeon," he said, clearly. She stopped walking and chewed her cheek. She turned around to look at him with glistening eyes before walking briskly to the pond. 

       "I need a bath, and I need to tell you something," she said. Kyungsoo nodded slowly and followed right behind her. He helped her untie her shirt before turning away. He couldn't help but imagine things she needed to say to him... maybe she was upset with him; maybe she hated him; maybe she loved him... there was a heavy tension on Kyungsoo's shoulders, until Seoyeon called his name. "Kyungsoo. You can come in now." Kyungsoo turned around to see her already undressed and half-submerged in the water. He sighed softly before stripping and wading into the cold water, as well. "Can you come over here? I want to talk to you..." Kyungsoo's heart began to race as he waded to her side. 

      "Y-Yes," he squeaked. "D-Do you need something?" His voice was barely coming out, but at least it was better than the previous day. Seoyeon shook her head and covered her s as she stood up straight. 

       "I just wanted to tell you," she started. Her words trailed off slightly and she lowered her head. She needed to think of a proper way to say what she had in her mind. "I... I'm really sorry for being so cold to you lately." Kyungsoo blinked a few times and almost interjected, but she stopped him by continuing. "I didn't know how to say it before, but I think... I think I do." She took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "I really think I-" She stopped again and cleared . All the while, Kyungsoo was growing curiouser and curiouser. "I think I really love you. I didn't know if I wanted to say it or keep it to myself before, but then Kris said that I should just tell you, so I am. And, I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I really... I really, really do. I just worry that Jongdae will hurt you for some strange reason, be it that he's jealous or something... so, there. That's what I had to say." She raised her head to look at him with beet-red cheeks. "What say you?"

      Kyungsoo could only bite his lip and try not to smile. He was... so happy. He took a step closer, then another. He looked her facial features over for a moment before cautiously and slowly leaning in. He captured her lips with his own and was nearly about to explode when she kissed him back. He let his shaky hands caress the small of her back as he slightly deepened the kiss. He pulled away briefly to look at her eyes, but was drawn back in when he couldn't resist. Seoyeon broke the kiss, that time. She lowered her head and rested it on Kyungsoo's chest and sighed in relief. 

      "I guess... I guess that settles that." She smiled slightly and bit her lip, then pushed Kyungsoo away a little. "Let's... Let's finish up, then go inside." She finished washing herself and got dressed, and all the while, Kyungsoo was smiling from ear-to-ear. When they both entered the house, they came across LuHan leaning over Sehun. Seoyeon tilted her head and approached them slowly. "LuHan," she said. LuHan sighed and directed his face in her direction. She saw that Sehun's eyes were open slightly, and she smiled. "How is he," she asked.

      "He said it was an animal," LuHan said in reply. Seoyeon blinked, but knelt beside him and tilted her head. "He said that he went out to get me flowers and got attacked by a large cat." LuHan was almost smiling. "He said all of that." Seoyeon smiled and patted LuHan's hand. 

      "That's great," she whispered. She saw that Sehun was smiling at her and couldn't hold back the giggle. "How are you feeling," she asked him. He only stuck out his tongue in response. She grinned and stuck hers out at him, as well. "As soon as you're all better, we're going to work extra hard, you rascal." He smiled and looked up at LuHan as Seoyeon got up and began to walk out of the hall. 

      "Cook," Kyungsoo murmured as he tugged on her hand. "Gonna cook." His voice was raspy, but it seemed as if he was able to produce sound fairly well. Seoyeon nodded and offered a partial smile. 

      "Okay," she said. "You can go cook. I'm going to go see how things are going with the others... I l-love you," she said, timidly. Kyungsoo smiled with his eyes and let his lips form the heart shape they always did. He waved and hurried off to the kitchen. Seoyeon merely smiled and left the hallway to enter the dining room. As she did, she caught a glimpse of Chanyeol at the top of the stairs.. "Hey, Yeol," she called, but he apparently didn't hear her as he entered his old room. She frowned and rushed up the stairs to see why he was going in the hazardous area. She entered the room and saw him kneeling beside the wooden beam, studying it. "Chanyeol?" Chanyeol turned around and smiled. 

      "Oh-- hello, Seoyeon," he said with a short bow. "I'm just looking to see what needs to be done to fix this." Seoyeon hummed and stepped closer to look with him. "It looks like this beam wasn't really necessary, otherwise part of the roof would have came down with it... I think it was part of the attic." Seoyeon nodded slowly. "Maybe we can get this beam out the window-- then we can patch the floor?" He looked at Seoyeon quizzically. "What do you think?" Seoyeon remained silent for a while, and Chanyeol began to worry. "Maybe it's a bad idea-" He was cut off as Seoyeon looked up at him and said 'no.' 

      "It's a very good idea! I was just thinking that it could be a good bonding exercise if we all worked on it together." She beamed up at Chanyeol who just blinked in surprise. 

       "O-Oh, well-" He was cut off again. 

      "We can start this weekend, right?" Chanyeol merely blinked again. He scratched the back of his head and shrugged. 

       "Well, I guess so," he muttered. Seoyeon smiled and grabbed his hand to pull him out of the room. 

      "For now, let's stay out of there. It's too dangerous to be in there." Chanyeol couldn't help but smile at how enthusiastic Seoyeon was, even now. Seoyeon turned around and waved goodbye as she bounced down the stairs, then turned left to pass through the dining room to get to the large opening on the other side. She sighed happily and sat down on the antique couch in the middle of the room. Before she could get comfortable, a man walked through the wall inside the fireplace. She gasped and nearly shot up from the seat, but was calmed when she saw that it was the man she had seen in a vision in the past. 

      "Well, hello," the man said. Seoyeon blinked and nodded slowly. "I'm sorry to intrude so suddenly, but this is the only room I can speak to you in-" Seoyeon began to speak, but he raised his hand and silenced her. "Don't ask me why, because I have no idea." Seoyeon pouted a little, then moved over on the couch as the man sat beside her. "So, tell me... How is everything going? I want to hear details about everything!" Seoyeon smiled and took a deep breath before beginning to explain what had happened since their last encounter.
