Ryujin gave her relief a smile before leaving work. As she entered her car, her vision blurred. She groaned and rested her head on the steering wheel. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. When her eyes opened, her vision was fine. She started her car and drove home. 

Woozi sat at the kitchen table, typing away on a laptop he got from work. Ryujin walked in and set her purse on the table with a loud grunt. She fell down in a chair. Woozi eyed her.

”You okay?” Woozi asked.

Ryujin pointed at her eyes, “this stupid blurring vision thing is beating my .” 

“Maybe you shouldn’t resist the visions you are supposed to be getting.” 

Ryujin slumped in her seat, “I hate it though. I don’t want it.” 

“Because you don’t understand it yet, and can’t control it. You need to let it run its course. Learn the trigger.” Woozi said as he continued to type. “That’s how I learned how to control my barrier creation.” 

“It took you months to get it under control. I don’t want to have blurry vision. What happens when I’m driving?”

”That’s why you’ll need to get it under control. Hence, let it show you what you need to see.” 

Ryujin groaned, “Why are you right?” 

“Blame it on Wonho. He did give you an orb.” 

“He gave all of us orbs.”

”And made us targets to so many evil beings.”

”Seriously though, why aren’t we kicking his ?”

”Because he’s hot.”

Ryujin nodded. Her vision blurred, she groaned. “It’s happening.” 

“Let it.” 

Ryujin nodded and opened her mind up. The lavender and vanilla scent filled her senses. The blurry vision disappeared a moment later. She found herself standing near a king size bed. To her right, a muscular man entered the room. His brown hair was wet from a shower, a noticeable large tattoo on his back, and his eyes a dark brown. He didn’t see Ryujin. He passed right through Ryujin and climbed into bed. 

Another man appeared in the room and stared at him. However, the muscular man didn’t realize he was there. 

Ryujin eyed him, he looked strangely familiar; but also unfamiliar. His hair was shoulder length, and jet black. The same purple streak in Ryujin’s hair was in his. It took him a moment to notice her. His eyes widened then he looked at the man, he realized he couldn’t see Ryujin too. He looked at Ryujin once more. Ryujin couldn’t help but feel the hatred and chaos radiating off of his being. He sneered at Ryujin before vanishing. Ryujin’s vision blurred and when it returned, she was back in the kitchen. Woozi eyed her. 

“I think we have a problem.” 

Woozi rolled his eyes, “when don’t we?” 

———

Yoongi yawned as he stretched his tight body in bed. He looked to his left, another body moved slightly beside him. 

Footsteps occured and a moment later, Ryujin and Woozi walked in. They gasped at the other body in Yoongi’s bed.

”Really?!” Ryujin yelled. 

Yoongi smiled at the two with guilt. The other person turned. It was Shownu. Ryujin and Woozi were surprised. 

“Okay, not who I expected to see in your bed.” 

Shownu shot up and covered his shirtless body with the blanket. 

“Hey.” Shownu said with a guilty smile. 

Woozi froze Shownu then glared at Yoongi, who just smiled wider and chuckled. Woozi took a deep breath then spoke, “We have a magical situation.” 

“What kind of demon?” 

Ryujin looked at Woozi, who shrugged. “I don’t think it’s a demon. It was a guy.” 

“A guy?” 

“He appeared in my vision, and funny thing is; I think he was like us.” 

“Like us?” 

Ryujin turned to Woozi for clarification. Woozi continued, “another person who has a power, maybe.” 

“Another masked man?” 

“I hope not.” Ryujin said. She went over his appearance in her mind, “he also had the same hair color and purple streak like I do.” 

“Not really relevant, but okay.” Yoongi said as he carefully dressed himself under the covers. He sighed then climbed out of the bed. Shownu remained frozen.

”Maybe he can see visions like I do?” 

“Do you think they’d give two different vessels the same ability?”

”It’s possible.” Woozi said, pursing his lips and entering his thinking stance; which was just him putting a hand on his hips and rubbing his chin. “Okay,” Woozi said before clearing his throat. He motioned to Shownu. “Get him out.”

Yoongi eyed Shownu, “alright.”

Woozi turned to Ryujin, “get the stuff ready to summon Wonho.” Ryujin nodded. Woozi flicked his hand at Shownu, unfreezing him. 

Yoongi smiled at Shownu, “I need to get ready for class.” 

Woozi and Ryujin eyed the two before walking away. Shownu nodded and grabbed his clothes from his side of the bed and slipped them on. Yoongi watched him.

Shownu eyed him, “when did you get out of bed?” 

“You didn’t see me get up?” Yoongi said with a smile. “You’re losing it.” 

Shownu nodded. A few minutes later, Yoongi said goodbye to him before closing the front door as he walked away. Woozi and Ryujin peeked out from the living room, glaring at him. 

“Shush.” Yoongi said, joining the two. 

“Yeah, okay.” Woozi commented.

”We’ll talk about it later.” Ryujin added.

”Yeah, okay.” Yoongi said, mimicking Woozi. 

“Wanna get throat slapped?” 

Eventually, after completing the ritual, Wonho walked out from a pillar of light. He eyed the three. 

“Do you put the same orb power thingy in multiple vessels,” Ryujin said almost immediately, using finger quotes as she said ‘vessel.’ 

Wonho shook his head, “no. We don’t have spares.” The angel said with a little sass.

”Okay, so what does that mean then?” Woozi asked. 

“Want to explain to me what happened?” Wonho asked, crossing his arms over his chest. 

“Can’t you just,” Yoongi then waved his hands around his head, “know?” 

“I was told by someone,” Wonho eyed Ryujin, “not to do that anymore.” 

After explaining to Wonho what Ryujin had saw, the angel closed his eyes and sighed. 

“What?” 

“All I can tell you is to find that man you saw, not the one who can apparently do what you can, the other one.” 

“What do we do when we find him? Do we think he has an orb?” 

Wonho nodded, “Yes. He does. Which one, that is something I don’t know.” 

“So maybe the man who can see visions wants his power?” 

“So another masked man.” 

Ryujin suddenly smelled the vanilla and lavender again, and her vision began to blur. Wonho knew immediately and eyed her. 

Ryujin let the vision overtake her, her vision blurring until it disappeared and she was back in the bedroom from before. The muscular man was on the ground, doing a set of pushups. His body was wet from sweat. Ryujin couldn’t help but blush from his toned body. 

“y, isn’t it?” A voice asked her.

Ryujin turned her head to the voice, seeing the man who looked like her, standing on the other side of the room. 

“Really gets you going.” He continued with a smirk. 

Ryujin eyed the muscular man, who apparently couldn’t hear him. When she looked back at the man, he was right in front of her. His smile made her shudder. 

How did he get so close? I can’t even move! What do I do?

The man tilted his head to one side then chuckled, “can’t you walk?” 

Ryujin glared at him then shook her head. 

“You can’t talk either, I assume.” 

Ryujin tried, but nothing came out. She knew she was capable of speaking, maybe even moving, but she couldn’t right now. She thought it might be because she has been neglecting her new ability. 

“I agree.” The man said. Ryujin eyed him with confusion. The man chuckled again, “you haven’t realized it yet? Damn, you’re dumb.” 

The man nodded at the muscular man, “Let’s see who can get to him first. We are excited to meet you.” 

The man raised a finger then tapped Ryujin’s forehead. She was forced out of the vision. Her breathing was heavy, and her face covered in cold sweat. 

Wonho immediately knew what she had seen, but didn’t say anything. Ryujin turned to Woozi and Yoongi, “we have a huge problem.” 

“Do you know where the guy is?” 

“Which one?”

”The one who we are supposed to keep safe.” 

Ryujin shook her head, “I was forced out. The other guy-“

”Forced out? Of a vision?” 

Ryujin nodded, “he definitely has the same vision power as me, maybe even stronger; or maybe it’s something entirely different. I also think he can read minds too.” 

Wonho turned to Woozi, knowing what he was going to say. Woozi spoke, “doppelgängers or something like that?” 

“Is that even possible?” Yoongi asked. 

“Anything is possible.” Woozi added. “Let’s go with doppelgängers until proven wrong. So if you have one, that means we all have one.” 

“But why is mine a man?” 

Woozi shrugged, “I don’t know. Do you know what the guy you saw in your vision looked like?”

”Muscular, brown hair, large back tattoo and dark colored eyes.”  

———— 

Ryujin took a deep breath and focused her mind. She sat on the couch. Wonho and Woozi sat on the loveseat near her, eyeing her. Yoongi had gone to class. 

Ryujin let out an exasperated sigh then opened her eyes, “I can’t do it.” 

“Keep trying.” 

Ryujin, though clearly aggravated, closed her eyes. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes. Nothing had occured. She rose from the couch, “I give up!” Before anyone could stop her, she stormed off to her bedroom. 

Woozi and Wonho both sighed in unison. Wonho rose then eyed Woozi. Woozi looked up at him then shrugged. 

“Anything else I can do, just call.” Wonho said before summoning a pillar of light. Before he entered, Woozi grabbed onto his arm. 

“Take me up with you,” Woozi said.

Wonho hesitated for a moment then nodded. He took Woozi’s hand in his. Woozi joined Wonho in the light. Moments later, Woozi and Wonho stood side by side near the circular table. 

“Okay,” Woozi said as he turned to Wonho. “You can watch the vessels right? Find the man.”

Wonho nodded and led Woozi to the table. As he waved his hand, a holographic image appeared. A woman in her late sixties worked in a farm on the image. Wonho began to slightly wave his finger to the right, as if swiping, to search all of the vessels. It took a few minutes, but someone matching the description of the man appeared. 

“Think that’s him?” Woozi asked. 

“Possibly.” 

“Where is he?”

Jaebum suddenly appeared by Woozi, glaring at the boy. Jaebum then eyed Wonho, who smiled with guilt. 

“Want to explain what’s going on?”

Woozi rolled his eyes, “what do you think?” 

Jaebum smacked Woozi over the head, “say that again and I do worse.” 

Woozi turned to Jaebum, finding him standing awfully close. He put his hands on Jaebum’s pecs then gently pushed him back. Jaebum let him. 

Woozi eyed the muscular man on the hologram then looked back to Jaebum. After explaining to Jaebum, he looked back at the hologram. 

“Wonho?”

”Yeah?”

”Can you send me there?” 

“Yeah, but-“

”Do it.” 

Jaebum scoffed, “Yeah cuz’ that’s smart.” 

Woozi ignored Jaebum’s remark. Wonho waved a hand at Woozi, a pillar of light overtaking him. Woozi’s vision goes white. When it returns, he is standing on the porch of a house. He looked around, finding no one nearby to witness the act of magic. He eyed the front door in front of him. Before he could knock, the door opened. The man matching Ryujin’s description basically ran into him. Woozi would had fallen if not for the man’s quick reflexes to grab his waist and keep him steady. 

“Sorry,” The muscular man said. 

“No, I’m sorry.” Woozi said with an awkward chuckle. He took a step back to eye the man. He wore a mechanic jumpsuit, the name Xiumin etched onto it. “Xiumin.” 

“Can I help you?” 

Woozi flicked his hand at Xiumin, freezing him in the process. 

“What do I even say?” Woozi asked himself. He began to come up with a story in his head when Xiumin suddenly unfroze. 

Xiumin eyed Woozi. Woozi chuckled then cleared his throat, “Do you know where the nearest gas station is? My car is out of gas and I’m lost.” 

“Yeah, uh,” Xiumin pointed to the right. “Head that way; you’ll run into like five of them.” 

Woozi smiled at him, “okay thanks.” 

Xiumin nodded and closed his front door, he locked it and walked off the porch with Woozi. 

Three strangers stood on the other side of the street. Xiumin didn’t pay them any mind and entered his car,. Woozi felt his stomach drop. 

A woman, the same height as Woozi, waved at him. Her hair was a bright blonde, and her glasses the same style as his. Beside her, another woman eyed him. Her stare was fiery, as if Woozi could feel heat radiate off her from this far away. Beside her, the man Ryujin had seen in her vision smirked. 

His voice echoed in Woozi’s mind, Hi, freeze-boy. 

Woozi felt his stomach twist in complete shock. The girl who resembled him held out her hand. The man placed his over hers. Her voice echoed in his mind, your freeze is cute. Weak, but cute.

The other woman touched the man’s hand, her voice now echoing in Woozi’s mind, I wanna see how fast you run with blue flames scorching your . 

Woozi couldn’t think of a way out of this, but an angel named Xiumin called out to him. “Do you want a ride?” 

Woozi eyed the muscular man and nodded. Xiumin waved him in. Woozi looked at the three, but found them gone. Woozi entered the car and smiled at Xiumin, “thank you.” 

Xiumin nodded, “no problem.” 

Woozi made a mental note of the street Xiumin lived on. Woozi was brought to the nearest gas station and dropped off. He waved goodbye to Xiumin and watched him off. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Ryujin, who answered right away. 

“Yeah?”

”Summon Wonho, get Yoongi, and go to Wanghi Drive. Now. It’s bad, very bad.”
