Kris went back to his human form and gave Luhan a twenty-minute break. Luhan took the water from under the tree and took a seat.

It has been a chore for him after they dropped from school and went to the woods to practice Luhan from his awakening. At morning, he would get up and find food for himself or eat the food that one of the packs has found for them to eat. After that, he’ll begin the training with one of the members and Kai is always the enthusiastic one who’ll volunteer to spar with him. And it will always be Kris who’ll end the training for the day.

“Tired?” A voice came up and Luhan saw Baekhyun sitting beside him. “Not much.” He simply said and the two of them went silent.

“Have you found Jihyun?” Baekhyun asked. He, aside from Luhan, was also looking for Jihyun every single day. He would sneak out of their cabin in the woods as the others are busy sparring with Luhan just to find Jihyun but just like before, there were no traces of Jihyun.

On the other hand, since Luhan has been too immersed with his training for the past few days, he had forgotten about finding Jihyun. “I don’t have time.” He simply retorted and Baekhyun frowned by his answer. *Then find time, you idiot.*

Forgetting that Luhan could actually hear what’s in his mind, he thought of those words and Luhan suddenly grabbed him by the neck. His grip was tightened and Baekhyun was nearly choking in front of him. “S—Stop. I c—can’t breathe!”

In addition to that, I’d make sure that you’ll be practicing with us like you’re one of those prisoners in hell.”

Luhan hesitated to let go of Baekhyun but he didn’t want to happen the things Kris said so he let go eventually. He glared at Baekhyun. “Once all of this is over, you’re going to die in my hands.” He said to Baekhyun and left.

Jihyun tensed and being the observer Xiumin is, he noticed her stiffness. “Jihyun, are you okay?” He asked, dropping the formalities since she said she didn’t like how there’s a ‘Princess’ title before her name. For her, it seems so distant so all of them obeyed. “Minseok oppa, the demons…they are somewhere here in th
