SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! I didn't check this chapter so if there's any mistakes...sorry about that >.< Enjoy!

Kris was flying around the area when he spotted a black cloud at the outskirts of the town.

“Oh no!” Kris flew back to the hut and landed in front of Sehun and Baekhui.

“Oppa!” “Hyung!” the two exclaimed.

“I need you two to find the Xiu Min and gather in the living room as soon as possible. Go!” Kris pushed the two and made his way into the kitchen through the back door.

“Hyung, we’re done!” Kai told the older boy.

“Good. Now I need you guys to listen to me,” Kris ordered. All eyes were now on him, “I need you to gather all the necessary stuffs we need for the battle and gather in the living room. Bring that book along. Lay, you’re in-charge of them. Now move it!”

All of them scattered around the hut like a mice. Bumping into each other and the huge furniture.

“What’s going on?” Firefinger asked Lay who was busy packing his bag.

“Huh?” Lay raised his eyebrows. He had momentarily forgotten the order Kris gave him, “Oh ya! Kris hyung told us to pack our bags for a battle.”

“Battle?” Firefinger asked but Lay was already gone.

“Luhan!” Kris voice filled the entire hut, “Suho! Pack your bags. There’s an emergency.”

“I love you Lee Jieun. Will you be my girlfriend?”

Jieun was stunned. Never did she imagine Baekhyun confessing to her.

“I don’t know what to say,” Jieun replied, “This is so unexpected. I mean I like you. I really do. It’ll be a lie if I said that I’ve never once had any feelings for you. I’ll be a jerk if I actually rejected you after all that you’ve done for me. And I can’t imagine myself not having you here by my side. But Grandfather said that Kris’ my soul mate so technically I’m taken. But my feelings for Kris are that of a sibling…”

“Jieun,” Baekhyun said, interrupting her mini speech as he cupped her face. Jieun stopped talking and stared into his brown orbs and without her realizing, Baekhyun’s lips crashed into hers.

At that moment, it felt like Tao had frozen time once again. It was as though they were the only ones in the house. *This must be how Baekhui felt when Sehun kissed her* Jieun thought.

Baekhyun smiled in between the kiss causing Jieun to do the same. The two lips part and Baekhyun hugged Jieun, “Is it safe for me to call you my girlfriend now?”

Jieun chuckled and nods her head. She rested her head on Baekhyun’s chest and listened to his fast-beating heart beat and couldn’t help but smile when she realised that she might be the reason why his heart if beating this fast.

“About Kris hyung, he was the one who asked me to confess,” Baekhyun broke the silence. Jieun couldn’t believe what she heard, “So much for being a soul mate!”

“Hey! Are you unhappy that I’m your boyfriend now instead if Kris hyung?” Baekhyun pouted.

“Stop being so grumpy! Kris is just an oppa but you Byun Baekhyun, are my boyfriend,” Jieun lightly tapped his nose and gave him a hug, “and one more thing. I love you too.”

“Guys, pack your bags. We’re in trouble,” Kris barged into the room and saw the two hugging. He couldn’t help but feel jealous. Being the leader, he knew that now wasn’t the time for him to feel that way.

Everyone gathered I the room and Jieun saw that all of them didn’t pack as much as they used to.

“The Black Clan’s armies are slowly coming towards our directions. We need to get away from here fast,” Kris told the rest.

“I guess we should hide somewhere,” Firefinger spoke, “But wherever we hide, they are able to find us.”

Luhan rolled his eyes at Firefinger *that was helpful*Jieun heard her cousin’s thoughts and lightly punched his arms and whispered, “That wasn’t nice Lulu.”

Luhan stuck his tongues out at his cousin and thought *I know what happened between you and Baekhyun. Wait till I tell Grandfather!* Jieun couldn’t believe how childish Luhan is right now especially since they’re in danger now.

“Why don’t Kai just teleport us to Black World? We can fight them head on instead if hiding from them like cowards. Plus, I’ve been waiting for a long time to get my revenge and to save my Mum,” Sehun wasn’t his cute self when he said those stuffs. His eyes are so dark and filled with hatred.

“Yeah, I could do that. But the thing is, I need a map of Black World before I can teleport all of us there safely,” Kai agreed with Sehun’s suggestion. He too was tired of running away.

Lay stepped forward and passed the book to Kai. Kai, Luhan, Xiu Min, Suho, Kris and Firefinger examined the book. “There! That’s the safest place to hide. Those soldiers are too lazy to guard the dungeons so we’re probably safe if we were to teleport there,” Firefinger pointed to the map.

“But we need to act fast. Break into smaller groups and break into the castle as fast as you can. Once you’re there, the King would probably be waiting for you so you shouldn’t waste a lot of time. And remember, destroy his sword and the entire Black World will be destroyed.”

Luhan told them what they were supposed to do since he was the only one who actually managed to read the book and being the smart one, he memorised its entire content.

“Baekhyun, Jieun, Baekhui, Sehun and Kris, I need you guys to go together. D.O, Tao, Kai, Chen and Lay will go as one. Suho, Xiu Min, Chanyeol, Firefinger and I will be in one group. Do not do anything once you’re inside the castle. Wait till everyone is there. We will fight against them as one.”

Kris and Suho, being the leaders, were proud to see Luhan leading them instead. They knew he had the potential to lead the group but he was just too playful.

“Kris, you’re in-charge of them. Protect the girls at all cost. They’re very important for the final battle. Lay, lead your group. Make sure nobody gets left behind. And Suho..” Luhan was stopped by Suho.

“You should lead us Luhan. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think you’re a better candidate to lead us since I have no clue on what to do,” Suho rubbed his neck.

Luhan nods his head and accepts the responsibility given to him.

“EXO!” Suho shouted.

Everyone looked at each and smiled, “WE ARE ONE! SARANGHAJA!”

With that, Kai teleported them to Black World where their lives might possibly be in danger.
