The wolf was advancing fast. Chanyeol was stuck in his place, but Kris managed to snap himself himself out of it. "Go." He whispered urgently to Chanyeol. Chanyeol shook his head furiously, refusing to leave Kris alone.

"Don't worry about me." Kris urged, showing Chanyeol the club in his hands. "I have this. You're injured right now and would just be a hindrance rather than a help."
There it was. Kris's attitude that always made him look bad when rather he just wanted Chanyeol to be safe.

"Kris, I..."

"Go!" Kris shouted, not hearing Chanyeol. His eyes were on the wolf. Giving a dejected look, Chanyeol limped away into the dense forest. Kris looked at the boy go, and a sense of relief washed over him. No matter what happened, at least Chanyeol would be safe.


"Why aren't they back yet?!" Bakehyun was pacing back and forth, worried for Kris. He held up his mobile for the rest to see.

"It's almost eleven! Four hours since Kris has been gone!" He was shooting everyone an angry look, as if it was their fault that Kris hadn't returned yet.

"Chanyeol's missing too, you know." Chen said, his tone serious. "And besides, even we're concerned. You're not the only one ."

"Yeah." Kyungsoo agreed. "Quit being an , Baek."

"Don't fight guys," Luhan whined. "Nothing's going to come out of it." Luhan then turned to Baekhyun. "Have you tried calling Kris or Chanyeol?"

"That was the first thing I did!" Baekhyun scoffed. "Are you serious right now?!"

"Hey, back off." Sehun stepped up, coming between Baekhyun and a hurt Luhan. "He was just trying to help-"

"Well, he should try a little harder!" Baekhyun shouted. "All of you should! Why did you even let them go like that?!"

"Byun." The manager said sternly. "That's enough now."

"But-"

"Go to your trailer and rest for a while. You're tired right now. " He then turned to the photographer.

"Choi, this is your fault. Two of my boys are wandering in the forest, because of your irresponsibility. Take your people and go find Kris and Chanyeol. I want them back here by twelve."

The manager, who was usually not that serious, became so at the most critical times. Choi nodded his head and turned to his staff.

"Come on, guys. Let's get a move on."

The battle was full on. Kris swung for the wolf's head, but missed it by an inch. The wolf saw this as an opportunity to strike, but Kris's reflexes were too fast. He aimed for the wolf's silhouette and hit it hard. The beast staggered a bit, but didn't completely lose it's balance. It's claws lashed out at Kris's torso.

"Ah!" Kris cried out, touching the place he had been struck. Warm blood stained his fingers. He tried to hit the wolf again but his swing was too weak. The animal jumped on Kris.

Growling softly, Kris felt the beast's stink
