Fire. There was fire everywhere.

“Pie, use water gun on that windowsill and follow up with an iron tail!” Yoohyeon wrapped up the kirlia in her wet jacket. The kirlia was injured from the fire so it couldn’t even open its eyes.

“Hey Si, what are you doing here?” Minji asked tiredly. She was in th
