Sungyeol's POV:

Today is Monday meaning that I have to go to classes today. I really didn't want to because I'm so tired and who would want to go back to school on Monday? Anyways, I forced myself to wake up, wash myself, and then get dressed. Chanyeol just had to barge into my room right when I was changing into my clothes too. He just laughed at me and I threw my pillow at him but missed because he ducked.

I headed downstairs once I was dressed and threw my backpack onto the counter. Chanyeol was grateful enough to give me a bowl of cereal, though the reason why was probably because Baekhyun is here like any other morning. It made me shudder, in a good way, when Chanyeol tried using aegyo on Baekhyun. There was no response from him until he laughed and Chanyeol pouted as usual. I couldn't help but laugh at the two. While I was putting my bowl in the the sink, I told Chanyeol to go start the car. My parents had to go leave for another business trip leaving the two of us alone. I went to grab my jacket and backpack from the counter and locked up the house. I got inside the car and drove off to school.

When we got to school, the two of them bolted out of the car and to their classes. I took my time since I still have time till class. So where else would I go at this time? The library! The autumn air gently touched my face. It is chilly outside but not to the point where I am shivering. Today feels like a perfect day. I hope nothing will ruin this day. I just want things to go smoothly for today.

" Sungyeol-sshi!" I whip my head around. Dongwoo-sshi came running at me and latched onto my arm. Hoya-sshi was following behind, but he had Sunhwa-sshi with him.

" Oh, hello Dongwoo-sshi," I used my other hand and waved at Hoya-sshi and Sunhwa-sshi, " Hi to you two too!" They waved back at me and went another a different way. I was confused as to why they went over there and not come over here. I looked at Dongwoo-sshi, who finally let go of my arm, but he was looking at the two of them. There is sense of longing in his eyes that I can tell very much. Though I don't want to make assumptions. I decided to help him get his feelings away and dragged him to get coffee.

" You can order whatever you want!"

" A-Are you sure?" He looked at me with big eyes and I nodded. Dongwoo-sshi got all excited and ordered an Americano which I ordered too. Then he went to get a table for us while I waited to get our drinks. I walked to where Dongwoo-sshi is and handed his Americano.

" Thank you Sungyeol-sshi. I will repay you back someday. You got it?"

" Yes, I understand." We laughed at each other and continued talking. Then I looked at the clock on the wall and noticed I only had about ten minutes until my class started.

" Sorry, Dongwoo-sshi, I have to go to my class now."

" I have to go too!" We both stood up and left the café. Our classes were in different buildings so we had to separate.

" Wait, Sungyeol-sshi!"

" Yeah?"

" You can call me Dongwoo-hyung!" I smiled and nodded my head.

" Then you can call me Sungyeol!"

" Okay! Bye!" He waved his arms at me and I waved back.

" Bye!"

I headed to my class with a few minutes to spare. I sat in my usual seat, but then the unexpected happen. Myungsoo came and sat next to me. I stared at him in disbelief. He turned to look at me and gave me what-are-you-looking-at face. I tore my eyes away from him and looked at the wall. Yeah, the wall is definitely more interesting than Myungsoo. As if anybody is going to believe me.

Class started shortly after, but I couldn't really focus with Myungsoo next to me. From the corner of my eyes, I stole glances at him, but then I got caught each time! It is like he knows when I'm going to look at him! Almost like he can read my mind. Please don't tell me he can read minds too. Don't tell me it is like Twilight but werewolf style. Great now I'm thinking about Gangnam Style which has totally no connection.

Just take a deep breath, Sungyeol. Class will be over before you know it.

I unlock my phone to check the time and noticed only ten minutes have passed since class has started.

Great. I have another hour and 20 minutes before class is over. You can do it! Fighting!

I looked down when I heard a crumpling noise. It was a piece of paper folded in half. I opened and my cheeks redened when I read it.

Yah, stop thinking so much. It is evident on your face.

                             - Myungsoo

I crumpled the note in my hands and groaned mentally. Now, I desperately wish for this class to be over.

--------------------------------------------------------------

While I was on my way to my next to the a café, I into Henry-sshi. It seems like he was on his way to music class because he was carrying his violin.

" Hello Henry-sshi."

" Hi Sungyeol-sshi. Where are you going?"

" Oh, I'm going to buy a snack for my brother and I. He texted me saying he forgot money to buy food so I'm going to meet up with him." He nodded at me and smiled. I couldn't help but smile too.

" You are a good brother. Well, I got to go to my class before I'm late. See you tomorrow!" I waved at him.

" See you tomorrow!"

I walked to the café and saw Chanyeol waiting for me. I rolled my eyes as I saw how he was tapping his foot impaetiently for me. It seems like Chanyeol must be really hungry if he wants some food right now. While I was making my way towards him, I saw Sunggyu-sshi walking with somebody I haven't seen before. Or maybe I have seen him but I don't remember. The thing that bothered me was his expression. He didn't look too happy.

" Sungyeol-hyung, hurry up!" I picked up my pace and handed some money to Chanyeol that way he can buy lunch later.

" Here you go you big baby." Then I noticed Baekhyun wasn't with him. " Chanyeol, where is Baekhyun?"

" Oh, he said he had to go talk to a friend of his. He said he would meet me at class later. Now, lets go get some food for me!" I let Chanyeol drag me into the café while my eyes went back to the disappearing figure of Sunggyu-sshi and the unknown person.

After we ate a few muffins, I only had one while Chanyeol had two, we went to our next class. I was on my way to class until I saw Woohyun-sshi walking with a girl I haven't seen before. They were laughing and smiling at each other. Something I haven't seen since the I met him, but then my eyes caught another person. That person was looking at them from a distance behind a tree. I realized that person is Sunggyu-sshi. HIs body was shaking badly and from a distance I can tell he he was gripping onto the tree tightly. Then I heard a snap and ran over to him. I grabbed his hand immediately and pulled it away. My eyes widened when I saw a crack in the tree's trunk. I look at Sunggyu-sshi who is still staring.

" S-Sunggyu-sshi." He finally snapped out but something dropped from his eye-- a single, red tear. Sunggyu-sshi wiped it away and looked at me.

" I'm sorry you had to see that. I should get going and you should too." Sunggyu-sshi walked away before I could say anything. I touched the crack of the tree's trunk but then noticed it was gone. It was as if it healed by itself.

I went to class with too many thoughts running through my head.

-------------------------------------------------------------

2 hours ago....

Woohyun's POV:

I went to class first because Sunggyu said he had to do something first. I didn't really care and just ignored him. He can do whatever he wants. It doesn't matter to me. As long I don't have to be around him. I'm already stuck to his side 24/7.

While I was waiting for class to start, a girl walked inside the classroom. My attention went straight to her, and my eyes widened to see who it was. It was the person I saw on the streets two days ago. I couldn't believe it because I thought this person was an illusion of my heart. It couldn't be right? My eyes aren't playing a prank of me, right? It can't be her. Especially what happened after almost five years ago?

" Hi, my name is Park Ji-yeon. Is anybody sitting here?" I snapped out of my thoughts and shook my head.

" Nobody sits here. You can sit here if you want to." I moved my things to my side more so she could put her stuff on it.

" Thank you. I do hope I'm not stealing anybody's spot." My mind went Sunggyu for a second but then went back to Jiyeon. I shook my head once again.

" Don't worry, you aren't."

" That's good!" She smiled at me and I smiled back. Then the sound of the door opening was heard and we turned our heads to see who it was. Sunggyu stepped inside and looked straight at me and then at Jiyeon. His eyes widened and he stepped back. He turned his head away from us and sat in the front seat. I felt a nudge to my side and I turned towards her.

" Who is he?"

" Him?" She nodded her head. " His name is Kim Sunggyu. Somebody you don't want to deal with."

" Really? He doesn't seem that bad."

" I still wouldn't get involved with him."

Please believe me.

" If you say so. Wait, I don't know what your name is!" I smiled at her and held out my hand.

" My name is Woohyun. Nam Woohyun."

--------------------------------------------------------

After class was over, I decided to help Jiyeon stroll around the school for a bit. I had 30 minutes before my next class started so it is fine with me. She laughed at all my jokes. I laughed along with her and realized I haven't laughed and smiled like this for such a long time. Sure there were a few moments here and there but not like this. It actually feels good.

" Hey, isn't that Sunggyu-sshi?" I look where she was pointing at. Sunggyu was walking with somebody but I can't see who it is. Sunggyu was blocking the person's face with his head so I couldn't see who the person was. It shouldn't matter to me, though. Whatever he does is his business.

" Lets look around more. How does that sound?"

" Okay!"

I dropped off Jiyeon at her classroom and went to mine. When I got to class, I didn't see Sunggyu. Instead the class was quite empty. There were ten minutes left but usually Sunggyu would be here by now. Suddenly, my arm started to hurt. The my back, stomach, and my legs. My necklace started to get warm and the pearl pendant started to become dark. The whiteness of the pearl was starting to disappear. I started to panic because something was happening to Sunggyu. I stormed out of the classroom and followed my instincts. Then Dongwoo appeared by my side in a flash.

" Dongwoo-hyung, what are you-"

" I heard Sunggyu's cries! Didn't you hear them a while ago?! He has been crying since 20 minutes ago!" I shook my head. I didn't hear or feel it.

We ran to the edge of the woods and went deeper and deeper. There were trees are all over the ground. Some were bent in half while others seemed like they were crushed to death. I couldn't help but feel sad because trees have lives too, but that didn't matter at the moment. We have to find Sunggyu before something bad happens.

Dongwoo and I were running around. We didn't want to transform just yet because we weren't aware of the situation. That was when we saw Sunggyu in his wolf form banging himself against the trees. Cuts and gashes were all over his body just like where I felt them. Only one thing came to my mind: he was hurting himself.

" Sunggyu, stop it! Stop it! Stop hurting yourself!" I just stood there while Dongwoo did all the talking. Sunggyu didn't hear him, though. Dongwoo shook my shoulders to try me to talk to him.

" Woohyun, talk to him! You are his Protecter so do something! Woohyun!" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Sunggyu's voice. 

I'm sorry. I'm sorry Woohyun. I'm sorry. Everything is my fault. I'm sorry...

My eyes widened as Sunggyu was going straight at a thick, pointy branch that was sticking right out at him. He was going to stab himself with it. I reacted quickly and put myself between him and the tree. Dongwoo came over and did the same thing and we pushed him away from it. It was a struggle since we weren't in our wolf forms, but we couldn't have all of us on a rampage. We could finally feel Sunggyu getting some distance between the tree, and he collapsed onto the ground. He began to shift back, and I quickly took off my coat and wrapped it around him.

" Woohyun, he is badly injured. H-He was going to kill himself."

" I know. Lets get him back to the car and I will take him home. Give me your jacket too. I need to properly cover him." Dongwoo handed me his jacket and I wrapped it around Sunggyu.

I looked down at Sunggyu who is unconcious. There were wounds and bruises all over his body. I can tell he broke one of his arms because when I pulled him into me, his arm brushed against my body and his face contorted into pain. I didn't look at him until we got to the car and I laid him down on the back seat.

" Dongwoo, don't tell Myungsoo what happened to Sunggyu. He has seen this too many times before."

" I thought he stopped." I looked at Sunggyu and sighed.

" I thought so too. Well, I'm going to bring him home. I will see you guys later."

" Okay. Take care of him." I nodded my head and Dongwoo headed back to the school. I got into the driver's seat, but before I drove off, I looked at the rear mirror to check on Sunggyu. It seems like he hasn't woken up. I turned the car on and drove to his house.

That idiot! What was he thinking?! Was he really going to kill himself? He wasn't, right? Wait. Why should I care? Sunggyu is being a dramatic idiot. It doesn't concern me.

When we got to his house, I carried him into the house and placed him on his bed. I quickly dressed him and pulled the blankets over him. I pushed away his bangs and sighed. Then I attended to his wounds too. I grabbed a blanket and a pillow and slept on the couch across from his bed. I watched him and I could feel my eyes close. Soon I fell asleep too.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Myungsoo's POV:

I heard the news about Sunggyu-hyung going home because he didn't feel well. I didn't believe that though. Something was wrong with Sunggyu-hyung when Dongwoo-hyung sent me that text. There were still another five minutes until class was over. I kept on looking back at the clock which I shouldn't be doing. All of a sudden I felt somebody nudge me. I turn my head to see Sungyeol's full of worry.

" Are you okay?" I sighed and nodded my head.

" Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired."

" Oh, okay."

The conversation dropped like that, and then we were let out of class. I heard Sungyeol's voice calling for me but I ignored him. I was running to my car until I heard a thump. I turned around and Sungyeol was on the ground. He was groaning in pain and I couldn't help but go over to him. Sungyeol got himself into a sitting position and I noticed that he has a rip on his jeans at the knee. Then I noticed that because he fell, he scraped his knee like a child would.

" Ow, it stings." I got on one knee and flicked his forehead.

" Of course it would hurt you fool. Why were you running after me?" He looked down into his lap.

" I-I was worried okay! You seemed really worried about something so I thought something happened. Sorry for wanting to know."

I chuckled at his childness and ruffled his hair. I looked around to make sure nobody was around and let a bit of my wolf side making ears and a tail pop out. Werewolves don't tend to use this form since it looks ridiculous and who would really want to look like this? Anyway, I leaned closer to his knee and it. I felt Sungyeol's body stiffen, but hey I knew he was going to have this kind of reaction since I did it to him before when I was a full werewolf. Back to the point, Sungyeol's scratch on his knee started to heal.

" W-What did you do?" I looked up at Sungyeol and chuckled. My ears and tail disappeared though now I have a hole in my pants.

" I just healed your oo on your knee. Shouldn't you be thankful?"

" ... Thank you..."

" You're welcome." I smiled at him and helped him up.

" Well, I have to go so see ya." I turned around to leave, but then I felt a tug on my sleeve.

" I-I hope everything is alright whatever it is. If you ever need somebody to talk, you can always find me in the library." He left go of my sleeve and ran past me to the parking lot. I couldn't help but smile at Sungyeol. We barely know each other yet I can't help but feel a certain warmth from him.

When I arrived at home, I threw my backpack onto the sofa, and ran upstairs to Sunggyu-hyung's room. I knocked a few times but no answer. So I opened the door quietly to see Sunggyu-hyung sleeping on his bed. I carefully made my way to his bed and saw on the bandages around his body and his arm. There was even a brace around his left arm. Sunggyu-hyung isn't sick. He is hurt. Badly hurt since the last time I saw him in this state. It looked like he was having trouble breathing too. It hurts to know I can't do anything for my brother.

Sunggyu-hyung, it must really hurt, doesn't it? Why do you keep on doing this to yourself? Tell me. I'm always here you know that.

" Myungsoo? You are already back?" Woohyun-hyung walked in holding a tray of soup, fruits, and water.

" Yeah. Dongwoo-hyung texted me saying Sunggyu-hyung went home because he didn't feel well. Though look at him now. He is in pain. Tell me, what happened. Don't try lying to me either."

" Myung-"

" Tell me the truth! Dammit Woohyun-hyung! You are his Protecter so how could have not known Sunggyu-hyung was in pain! WELL?!" I glared at Woohyun-hyung who just sighed at me.

" Fine then... He tried hurting himself, but Dongwoo and I were able to stop him somewhat. Now, you should leave. I need Sunggyu to eat or he won't get better. Go Myungsoo. I'm stronger than you so I can make you leave." I stared at him hard, but I knew he was right. In situations like these, Sunggyu-hyung would only wake up to Woohyun's voice. So I stood up and left the room taking one more glance at them.

You better take care of him Woohyun-hyung. It's because of you he is in pain everyday.

I made my way to my room and grabbed my white wolf plushie. Then I laid down on my bed and pulled the blankets over me. I stared at the wall and my eyes started to close. Even though it was only the afternoon, I felt really tired for some reason. An image of a smiling boy clinging onto a plushie popped up in my head. I couldn't help but smile too.

------------------------------------------------------------

Sungyeol's POV:

I went upstairs to my room after dinner. I took a shower before I went to sleep, but when I came out my drawer was glowing red. I quickly put on my pajamas and opened the drawer. The book was glowing red and I lifted it out of the drawer. Suddenly, the book flipped open by itself until it landed at a certain page. There was a picture of a huge, red wolf drawn in extravagant detail. I traced my finger over it in awe. I read the description on the other page.

The Red Wolf. A legend they say. Every 50 years a werewolf will be born with the Red Wolf inside. It decides who will be the host and the fate of the host. It takes a strong will to control the Red Wolf. Though the Red Wolf has never made an appearance until the host is at the brink of death. That is when it will show itself and take away the host's life to where it belongs. After that it would rest for 50 years until finding its next host.

" W-What is this? Red Wolf? Host? Fate? Why does this seem so horrible and sad?" I flipped through the other pages but there wasn't anything. I guess I will have to check it tomorrow night to see if anything else appears.

I put the book back into the drawer and slipped under the blankets. I looked up at the ceiling, and then my mind went back to Myungsoo and him my knee. My body started to get warm and embarrassed because of it. I slapped my cheeks a few times to get the image out and focuse on something else. Like Chanyeol's derpy face! Yeah, just think of Chanyeol's derpy face! Then it went back to Myungsoo in a second.

Great. Just great. Out of everything to think about you just have to think about him! What is wrong with you?!

My body didn't start falling asleep until 30 minutes later. When I began to fall asleep, the image of the small black wolf came back again. I didn't try to push it away this time, though. Instead I invited the warm red eyes.
