Chapter 4

Redemption

Beomgyu stayed in St Petersburg for a few days, waiting for the locket to be done more than anything.

Youngtaek hadn't bothered him since the dinner but Beomgyu was still expecting him to show up at any point before he left.

Yuri was due to arrive any day now, and that meant that Beomgyu needed to prepare for his departure, going along the Russian border towards the Sea of Japan.

Youngtaek huffed as he got the news about the fox named Yuri coming back towards this side of Russia.

He should've expected that, as Beomgyu had said he was only there due to Yuri keeping an eye on things on the other side of the country before coming back.

Maybe Youngtaek could go with him this time. It would be nice to be able to see the rest of Russia. If only he could find Beomgyu in this huge city. "Where the hell could he be hm?" He asked himself as he stared at the cathedral he ended up being across the street from.

"God I hate being here," mumbled Youngtaek as he tried not to glare at the building.

"Looking for me?" Came a voice, causing Youngtaek to jump, turning to someone he wasn't familiar with. "Uh?" Asked Youngtaek. "You're the one with the cathedral things right?" He asked.

"God you really must hate these buildings if you've never met me before today," commented the vampire in front of him. "Yes, it's me," he added. "I'm Seungmin," he stated, smiling slightly. "Youngtaek," grumbled Youngtaek as he tried not to sound annoyed.

"What did you need me for?" Asked Seungmin. "I don't know, honestly," hummed Youngtaek. "I've been looking for Beomgyu before he left the city, would you happen to know where he went?" He asked. "Ah, that kid?" Asked Seungmin. "Last I checked he was getting a locket made before he left the city," he answered after thinking it over. "I don't know if he's still in the city, but you could find the watch shop here," he added, writing something down on a piece of paper before handing it to Youngtaek.

"No need," came a voice as Beomgyu walked over, coming to a stop in front of Youngtaek and Seungmin. "I actually needed to talk to you," he added, speaking to Seungmin. "What about?" Asked Seungmin.

"Where is Yeonjun now a days?" Asked Beomgyu. "I know he didn't leave the country, you would've said so," he added. "He didn't specify," replied Seungmin as he shrugged. "He might've left the country now, who knows," he added. "He did say that he would let Soobin know of where he went but that's as much info as I got," he explained.

"A human knows about our world?" Asked Youngtaek. "Well, sort of," responded Beomgyu. "He only knows to contact Seungmin and Jungsu if he needs to let Soobin know of anything," he added.

"Yuri is back by the way," hummed Seungmin. "Cool, I just got my locket too," stated Beomgyu as he nodded. "I'll be heading on then," he added, turning and walking away. "Oi, wait brat!" Exclaimed Youngtaek as he rushed to follow after him. Seungmin shook his head as he watched them go before walking the other way.

"So how are we going to get there?" Asked Youngtaek. "I never said you could come with me," stated Beomgyu as he turned to Youngtaek, glaring at him. "Can I go with you? Please?" Whined Youngtaek. "I've never travelled to that side of Russia before," he added.

"Were you that sheltered fox?" Asked Beomgyu as he looked exasperated. "Seongyoon never went that way, he just stayed in St Petersburg because Gunil was always going that way, or we had other people," replied Youngtaek.

"Well, I was going to run there, but you decided to ruin that plan," grumbled Beomgyu. "Looks like we're going by train," he hummed. Youngtaek sputtered. "I don't mind running," he managed to say, though he looked hopeful about going by train.

"Forget it fox, you won't be able to keep up with me," remarked Beomgyu as he shook his head. "We're going by train," he added. Youngtaek almost cheered, grinning at Beomgyu before running off. "I'll meet you at the train station," he called as he disappeared from view.

Beomgyu was left to sigh before turning and going to hunt to make sure he'd be able to last the entire trip to Vladivostok since it was close to where they needed to start.

After hunting Beomgyu used his connections through Seungmin to secure them in the best first class seats possible, in terms of heading out that far east anyway. They met at the train station a few hours later and Youngtaek had a huge bag of food with him, knowing that it was a long journey and it would be annoying to constantly ask for food.

"Jesus, are you feeding an army?" Asked Beomgyu as he tried to not look amused by the amount of food. "I don't want to ruin your bank account with how much I actually eat," commented Youngtaek as he shrugged.

"Who says I'm paying for all the food?" Asked Beomgyu. "Uh," hummed Youngtaek. "I got us the train tickets, you're paying for the meals," explained Beomgyu. "At least pay for one meal or so?" Asked Youngtaek. "Fine," grumbled Beomgyu. "But you better not eat all that food within the first day," he added. Youngtaek nodded eagerly.

Getting on the train was easy enough, getting to their room was easy enough. Having a hyper fox who was excited for a train ride was a bit harder. It took everything for Youngtaek to sit still, and even then he stared out the window with his hands in his lap as he fidgeted, staring in fascination as the train started to move. Beomgyu tried to not look amused as he threw Youngtaek's bag into the overhead part above the door before sitting down on the other seat.

"Did you say there was a hot water thing here?" Asked Youngtaek as he turned to Beomgyu. "Yeah, the train person pointed it out to me when we got on the train," replied Beomgyu as he nodded. "Sweet," hummed Youngtaek. "I brought lots of soup packets, I didn't know if they had hot water or not," he added, shrugging.

It was going to be a long journey, for Beomgyu at least. Youngtaek was able to keep himself entertained at least, but Beomgyu didn't have much to do except read a book and listen to Youngtaek rambling about the scenery passing by.
