You turned slowly, as did the hunters.

Sungyeol had come over because he heard an argument going on. He hadn’t even realized it was you he was standing behind. Reason being? Because you looked so different from the last time he saw you. You looked beautiful. Sure, you were naturally good looking, but right now, he couldn’t even recognize you due to the aura of striking beauty you were emitting.

Sojin stuttered his name in embarrassment. She couldn’t believe he heard her. From the look on her face, you could tell she liked Sungyeol.

You felt someone grip onto your bare shoulder. “Looks like your oppa showed up when you called him.” Kyung pulled you back away from Sungyeol as he directed his statement towards the confused Sojin. Sojin promptly stepped forward towards Sungyeol.

Sungyeol looked down at her blankly, his lips pursed.

“Sungyeol Oppa, I’m sorry. You weren’t supposed to hear that.” She apologized cutely as she batted her eyelashes.

“Well I did.” Sungyeol said nonchalantly, not at all catching onto her feelings towards him.

“She was just trying to defend you.” Minah supported her friend.

“Defend me?” Sungyeol raised an eyebrow, “From what exactly?” He glanced towards you and found you looking up at him, pleading with him to leave. The action had the opposite effect. He wanted to linger there longer now.

“Rather than defending, it seemed to me like she was trash talking.” Kyung said as his grip on your shoulder got so strong you thought he would bruise you. Jaehyo looked like he was about to jump Sungyeol any minute now. Sungyeol needed to leave. No, you needed to leave.

“If I may intervene.” A clear voice penetrated your eardrums. You recognized it immediately. You didn’t have to look at the owner to confirm it either. You were sure of it enough that at this point, you knew you could identify his voice even if you were blind.

“Myungsoo Oppa.” Minah revealed. He coolly walked forward and smiled at her. She could not find the anger she once had towards him anywhere anymore. Instead, she foolishly giggled in response as she hooked her arm through his.

He gave his confident smile to Sojin, P.O, Kyung, and Jaehyo, “This is no place to start fighting. Save it for tomorrow night.” He meant the full moon. The idea of fighting the werewolves was not pleasing. Last time the hunters and wolves fought, Jaehyo got a new hole ripped for him by Sunggyu.

“Fair enough.” Kyung said with a scowl. He took a hold of your hand and started pulling you away with him. Jaehyo and P.O followed. You couldn’t help but look back. You saw Sungyeol watching you leave and someone else. Myungsoo. His eyes were coated in something you didn’t understand. Something you thought you would never be able to understand.

“Damn werewolves keep butting into our conversations.” Kyung cursed as he continued to drag you away. Only when you almost tripped over your own two high-heeled feet did you focus on him and away from Myungsoo and Sungyeol.

You whipped your arm away from him as you rebalanced yourself. “I get that you wanted to leave but that doesn’t mean you have to whisk me away. I have feet you know.” You scolded him as you lifted up the hem of your dress and dangled your feet to him, proving your statement. You huffed at the curious expression you got back and mumbled as you crossed your arms against your chest, “Would it kill you to be a little nicer?”

Jaehyo suddenly poked you in the forehead, making you almost fall back, “Would it kill you to not make us have to stand up for you?” He pointed to his arm, “My skin is practically crawling from defending you earlier.”

You were about to protest that you never asked for his help but then you thought about it again. Unexpectedly, the two stubborn hunters Kyung and Jaehyo stood up for you in their own twisted way. You locked eyes with the two of them, your hands that crossed your chest relaxed down to your sides, “Well thank you.”

Jaehyo’s expression fell. He blinked at you blankly, not understanding what just came out of your mouth. “What?” His voice stuttered.

“Thank you.” You repeated, making him only become more flustered. You got a smile on your face due to his reactions. You took a step forward, near him, “Thank you.” He backed up, “Thank you.” You couldn’t help but keep doing it until he finally burst.

“Shut up.” He yelled loudly, causing people around the four of you to look at him. He coughed upon noticing their stares and shot you an angry look. You only laughed in response.

You looked to Kyung and P.O, “The both of you too. Thank you.” Kyung shook his head.

“You just better hope I don’t tell U-Kwon or Zico that you’re a loner at school. They might actually try to solve that problem.” P.O laughed lowly. “Dance with me and you can count on my lips being sealed.”

You looked towards the dance floor and nodded, “Alright then.” When you looked back towards P.O, he was mimicking zipping his lips closed. Despite everything that happened tonight, you couldn’t help but smile.

“You seem to be enjoying yourself.”

You jumped in surprise. You almost dropped your drink that you were holding onto as well. When you turned to your left, you gulped down. It had been an hour since the dance you had with P.O and you were left by yourself at one of the tables outside. You looked around your vicinity and saw no hunters.

“They’re in a meeting with the mayor now. He called them in around thirty minutes ago.” Myungsoo told you, as though he had read your mind.

“A meeting?” You questioned him.

“Why do you think you went an hour without seeing any of us? We were in there just before. It’s a repetition every time. ‘You can do what you want as long as I get what I want’ kind of thing.” Myungsoo grabbed the glass of water out of your hands and eyed it. “Where did you get this?” He asked as he pushed it towards you again.

“B-Bomb gave it to me a little while ago. Why?”

Myungsoo’s left eye twitched at the mention of B-Bomb, “Your hunter friend seems to genuinely trust you. He went of his way to get you water not laced with wolfsbane.”

You looked at it, wondering if it was just his werewolf nose that made him able to tell the difference. You couldn’t at all just by looking between yours and the other ones others had.

“I heard from Woohyun what you told him.” Myungsoo spoke out to get your attention again, “I’m not going to argue with you or tell you how stupid you are again. Just don’t let this backfire on you.”

Before you could say another word, he started walking away. He had said what he felt was necessary before taking his leave.

“What’s with him?” You grumbled as you lifted your glass to your lips, “Always reminding me how much of an idiot I am.” You took a sip of your water and cleared your throat. After a moment, you sighed, “He’s the idiot.” You announced as you breathed out, frustrated, and took a big gulp of water.

You jumped when your phone suddenly rang inside of your purse. The ringtone was the one you assigned for text messages. You had never actually texted anyone recently though, so you had no idea what to expect as you pulled your phone out of your purse and checked the message.

It was from Zico.

The contents?

“Come inside the house and go up the stairs to the second floor in one hour.”

You turned to the house with a troubled expression. Zico was planning something again. When Zico planned something, it never turned out well for anybody.

A/N:

I find it funny that when one of my lovely commenters requests to see someone soon, I had planned on putting them in the next chapter anyway. I guess we both miss certain characters together :) So, Sojin and Minah are a one of a kind pair aren't they? And to hellopanda23, have fun!
