Suho simply stayed still and watched the scene taking place just in front of his eyes. He could see his peers going after a sinful demon –which was convicted to die in their hands anyway- and the girl, who was supposed to pass their test with flying colours. He looked at her intensely, at her fearful eyes staring at the upcoming fire in front of her, at her retreating footsteps. And he laughed at himself. She wasn’t the one he thought she was.

Even if you still didn’t know where it came from, you were truly wishing it would save you and Silver Boy who was hopelessly trying to use his paralysing ability. Suddenly, you saw him stiffening and turning abruptly in your direction. He saw the look into your eyes and he remembered the chat from earlier. Concerning fire. And that’s how you found yourself being pushed in front of the water wave. He had just exchanged your places. You locked eyes with him in bafflement.
