"Don't touch it!"

"The juice of the leaves is stinging my eyes!"

"I told you not to move your head too much, now look what you've done to your eye."

Seulbi scolded the hunter and reached out her hands to wipe his eyes with the sleeve of her white dress.

Not far away from them, Exouls were watching them the whole time and didn't bother to interupt

'Aww look at them'

Kyungsoo flew towards Yixing and landed on the horse' head. Yixing nodded and asked them quietly, 'Do you think its him?'

The rest blinked and stared at Yixing

'Him?' Baekhyun whispered back and came closer to Yixing. The others also approach the horse and together, they sat in a group. 

'You know.. the one that can break the curse'

The other's mouth went open when they finally realised

'Right! How could we not realise that in the first place!' Chen exclaimed gaining a slap from Luhan

'Quiet Jongdae, its suppose to be an animals only meeting'

They all glanced at the two humans at the back and sighed in relief when they're still in their own world

'So? What do we do?' Luhan asked and grinned excitedly

'What do we do with what?' Kyungsoo asked back confusely and Luhan rolled his eyes. He was about to answer but Yixing beat him to it

'About breaking the curse! This is her chance, he's the best bet that we have' Yixing replied softly and the rest silently agreed.

'Yixing is right, this might be her only chance..' Baekhyun mumbled 

'but he's going to leave soon you know, he's not going to stay with us forever' Chen said and again, the rest nodded in agreement

'Then we should try our best to make them closer within the time limit.'

Seulbi

I sat awkwardly on the ground with his head still on my lap. I looked over to Exouls who were discussing something; they were whispering to each other

I look around to search for something on the ground and found what I need; a small rock.

I grabbed it and threw it to the Exoul's direction. The small rock landed on the ground near Chen's and they all looked at me

''What do I do now?'' I mouthed at them and pointed at the hunter as he is still lying on my lap silently

'Try to start a conversation!'

"I'm not used to talking to humans.. let a alone a man" I mouthed to them and shook my head

'Just try!' Kyungsoo said out loud and the hunter suddenly chuckled

''How many animals do you have actually?'' He asked and I stayed quite. I looked back at Exouls and asked for their help

'Just talk!' They all exclaimed at the same time and rolled their eyes

"Oh? They're actually answering me... hmm. Let me guess, four?''

"Uh.. f-five actually.'' I stuttered shyly and slapped my forehead. I was fine when I scolded him about whining over the pain caused by the medicine earlier.. why am I nervous now?

'You're impossible Seulbi' Baekhyun teased and the rest laughed

"Are they laughing at me for getting that wrong or am I just delusional?'' He asked and raised his eyebrows

"They actually can understand you so no. You're not delusional.." I managed to say in one breath. I looked at Exouls again and they're all facepalming

'You're not suppose to tell him that!'

My eyes widened when I realised that

"I- I mean.. uh-'' I said and tried to think of something but then he cut me off by saying

"I understand. Animals have minds and emotions too, it's just that yours is a little smarter than the normal ones. You taught them well'' He praised me and I blushed

I look down to check on his forehead and noticed that the leaves are already dry.

"The leaves are dried, you can sit up now'' I said and he nodded.

"Are all of them here?'' He asked and sat
