@✧ Hyunjoong Something deep inside Kris was admitting an ominous warning. Some how he knew that accepting this coffee would have dark consequences for him and one look at their friend’s face was enough to see that the feeling was right. For some unknown reason it was important that he and HyunJoong got along. So, with a soft smile but a gloomy feeling he looked at the man offering coffee with a helpless expression. “I’m not sure if I should say no to coffee, I’m just not feeling to good about the idea of getting some right now.” He said carefully pointing at their acquaintance with his eyes as he was still trying to make his decision. But then again if he just said yes to coffee, he would probably have the rest of the day free without being bothered by that annoying friend again so he sighs shrugging. “Let’s get that coffee I start getting a headache over here.” He just said walking over to stand next to the man. “Do you need to collect your dog?”

Finally, free of the grips of some really persistence and pushy person Kris turned his head to HyunJoong. “I really have no idea what the hell he is all about but I’m sorry he dragged you into this without any information.” He said his hands wrapped around a hot cup of coffee the headache finally subsiding as the heat was filling his body. The other was good company no doubt about that but at the same time he wasn’t really one to spent time with any company except a few really close friends and if curtesy dictated it. Kris was evil sure if you wanted to say that but then again, he had manner not like he was raised by wolfs. Witch was one of the reasons he had agreed to the coffee giving both HyunJoong and their friend some face.

@✦ Kris Hyun Joong couldn't be mad at the stranger. After all, he was as much of a pawn as Hyun was himself. Instead, he put a smile on his face when the other apologized. He shook his head at him. It wasn't like him to make others uncomfortable and he wasn't about to start now. His mother would strike him with lighting she found out. His parents may not agree on many things lately, but that was one thing they'd never wavered on. Even before they'd created Euphoria, people in their kingdom had found it hard to believe he was a prince, because he was always so helpful and sweet. He rarely got upset and when he did, he would just walk away until he calmed down. "It's not your fault. I just hope he didn't inconvenience you too much. It's a nice day out after all."

He nearly laughed at the way the guy spoke. It was amusing. He knew he was annoyed, they both were, but his more due to the fact that he hadn't slept much or well for that matter. "At least he told you about me. He only told me he need help with something." He covered his mouth to stifle a yawn, not wanting to be rude. As the other pretty much dismissed him, he shrugged. "I just need more sleep, but I'm about to get some coffee. Would you like to join me? If you have time, I mean." He liked the kid and wouldn't mind getting to know him a little more.

Hyun never had a problem with making new friends, but he was beginning to assume this guy was originally from Malum. He had nothing against the people from Malum, but a lot of time they hated him. Maybe this guy would be no different. Only time would tell, but it didn't mean he couldn't still be friendly. "It's the least I can do considering we were both forced and tricked here." He was simply trying to be a nice person, but he had no idea what was about to start in his life.

@✧ Hyunjoong With a deep sigh Kris turned to the man the other introduced to him trying to not look angry but rather apologetic. “I’m sorry I have no idea why he dragged us out here all I know for some reason he really wants us to meet.” He said after he was introduced looking a little embarrassed and helpless as he could feel the others unhappiness with the situation. His own feelings weren’t much better he wanted to get this over with and be done. It wasn’t that he found the other person a bother or annoying or anything at all since he didn’t know him. It was just the fact that he was dragged out forced to meet someone and then with no regards for his own wishes be brought here to play nice. He wasn’t nice but of course this wasn’t Malum no this was Euphoria so all he could do was play along for now.

Somehow Kris really related to the others expression of wishing to be somewhere else. So, without much other thoughts he turned to the guy that so enthusiastically introduced them with dark expression not even hiding his emotions anymore. “We meet so can I go now? I have no idea why you wanted us to meet and I don’t know what I’m even doing here.” He asked before turning back to the other with a slightly softer expression. “It was nice to meet you Hyun Joong but I really have places to be and I’m sure you do too so I hope you have a nice day.” With that he gave a greeting and a slight smile as he turned to leave.

Kris really hoped that it would be the last of this what ever this was. He still didn’t know why they were forced to meet or what was so important about them meeting that his friend dragged them both here against their will but at the same time he didn’t care it was just too much trouble to think about it and wonder especially since this should be the end. Or at least that was what Kris thought but Oh boy was he wrong this was only the beginning.

@✦ Kris Hyun Joong had been up most of the night taking care of the pregnant cat that had shown up at his door the previous evening. He'd just gotten to bed after delivering the kittens and making sure they were warm as well as their mother. As he laid in his bed, he looked out the window and the sun was coming up. He sighed and relaxed. At least he didn't have anything he needed to do today, so that was something he was grateful for. As he closed his eyes, he drifted off to sleep, dreaming the same dream he'd had for the last week. It was fuzzy, but he saw a mysterious stranger. The guy appeared fairly attractive, but then he'd disappear again.

Having slept for 3 hours, Hyun Joong was woken up to his phone ringing. He groaned as he rolled over and answered it. It was one of the guys he sometime hung around with. He needed his help and he knew Hyun wouldn't say no. He rarely said no if he could help. As he agreed to meet him in an hour, he got up and showered before feeding his dogs and making himself some breakfast. When he was done eating, he cleaned his kitchen and checked the time. Sighing, he grabbed the dogs' leashes and his sun glasses and headed for the park.

He let the dogs run free at the park as he tried to stay awake. He was beyond exhausted after yesterday's training and last night, but he had agreed to be here, so he was. When he finally saw the man with another really attractive man, he removed his sunglasses. The brightness of the sun immediately caused him to scrunch his face. He walked over to the men, still keeping an eye on his dogs. "So, what's up? What did you need my help with?" He looked at the other man and nodded. "Good morning." He was hoping this wouldn't take long. The lack of sleep and reduced energy from sparring had him feel very weak and his head was beginning to hurt. He wanted his bed.

@✧ Hyunjoong It was such a nice day and really bright weather and jet instead of following some old treasure map or sitting on the rooftop with his note book thinking up his own little riddles and adventures here he was getting dragged along by his friend. This morning out of the blue one of the guys he had meet in euphoria appeared at his door steps dragging him along constantly telling him he that he desperately needed to meet his friend for whatever reason. It was completely out of Kris’ grasp a to why he had to meet this friend but what else could he do but getting dragged along. He wasn’t in Malum so he couldn’t just ditch the guy in some dump and enjoy his day… no he had to play along and be nice.

So, there he was getting dragged to the park. Well at least it was outside not in some dark building. Though his idea of a forced meeting was probably the total opposite of what this really was. His mind was filled with dark alleys and stuffy small rooms and even some big empty warehouses but in reality, they were standing in the middle of a beautiful green park with people around and kids playing and even some birds were heard. Yup he definitely had the wrong idea about this. But at least now he knew.

The guy he was supposed to meet didn’t look like he was here willingly either. Though he did have a handsome face and nice features the fact that he seemed unwilling to be here already made him look a lot less attractive and a little cringed at least that’s how Kris interpreted his face projecting his own emotions on him. He could just be blinded by the sun or naturally have a little bit of a crunched face but for now that wasn’t the point. Well Kris was sure the look on his face wasn’t any better so he tried to relax it. Trying not to look to annoyed through out the whole enthusiastic introduction his friend made.

@✧ Jihoon Seungmin frowned at the other’s words. He was well aware that Jihoon’s been struggling with remembering his background while also trying his best to master his abilities. It’s been tough on the other for a while now and Seungmin witnessed first-hand how upset and sad Jihoon would get when his head swirled with doubt and lack of faith within himself. “I know it’s been years, but I think you’ve made a lot of progress.” Seungmin lightly encouraged, letting the other lean on him as Seungmin made sure to stand in a way that would not let him fall. “Don’t say that, you are blessed with magical abilities unlike some of us.” Although the Jihoon was slightly older than him, Seungmin was taller and never minded whenever Jihoon leaned on him, physically and mentally. “A snowman?! I thought you’d never ask!”

@✧ Seungmin Jihoon gave the other a small smile and looked at him, "I guess...." Seungmin did always know what to say to Jihoon. He placed his arm over his friend's shoulder also and let out a soft sigh. "I wish I can believe what you said, Seungmin... but it's been years now." He looked down and kicked lightly at that blades of grass, "I'm no closer to mastering my powers as I am to remembering who I am..." He leaned against Seungmin and pouted, "I am hopeless." Though he said that it didn't mean that he was going to give up. He was going to keep working on it as much as he could until he mastered it. "So, Seungmin... wanna build a snowman?"

@✧ Jihoon Seungmin stopped twirling around as soon as he heard the slight disappointment in his friend’s voice. “Hey, it’s okay.” He sent Jihoon a reassuring smile, reaching out to slightly squeeze the other’s shoulder as an attempt to comfort him. “I know it’s not easy and it takes a lot of practice, but I think you’re already doing a good job!” Seungmin gestured to the snow that had gathered beautifully on top of his palm with a grin on his face. Because he didn’t have any magical abilities of his own, Seungmin wouldn’t be able to empathize completely with the other, but he believed that hard work doesn’t betray anyone, and it certainly won’t betray Jihoon. “You can do it. I believe in you!”

@✧ Seungmin Hearing the familiar voice of his friend, Jihoon turned around and looked at him. "Seungmin ..." he smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. This wasn't the first time he's managed to create snow. In fact, it happened almost every time Jihoon attempted to use his magic. "Yeah..." he let out a sigh and smiled at the other's giggling. Seungmin did always like it when he made it snow. At least his failure could make his friend smile. Sure he failed but without failure how does one learn from their mistakes? Jihoon stood beside Seungmin and held out his hands as well to let the soft snow land against his palms. "I just wish I can make this work ..."

@✧ Jihoon Light footsteps brought Seungmin to the park during his leisure time, enjoying the beautiful weather and nature that differed from the buildings and cobblestone streets of the city. There had been slight tension in the air ever since the descendants of evil made their way into the city and so his usual walks throughout Euphoria had been a lot more off-putting than he was comfortable with. Seungmin, personally, welcomed the descendants into the city and believed that the merge would end up doing more good than harm, however, there are many that disagree with his thoughts and someone like Seungmin couldn’t agree with them. At least, the park still contained the calmness that he had been craving for. Seungmin spotted something in the near distance that made him grin with excitement, quickening his footsteps toward a familiar figure. “Jihoon! You made it snow again!” Seungmin twirled around in front of his friend, giggling as he tried to catch snow in his hands.

@✧ Seungmin "Come on ... come on ... come on ..." Jihoon said to himself as he stared at the palm of his hand. He tried his best to concentrate as a small blue light started to form in his palm. The orb of light gave off a cool breeze, which then turned the surrounding area into a much colder atmosphere. It was now so cold that Jihoon could see his own breath. Before he knew it, the orb suddenly shot up into the air and exploded like a firecracker. However, instead of smoke or bits of light being shown, the smallest amount of snow fluttered down. Jihoon was upset with himself that he lost control of his powers again, but his anger soon dissipated because the snow was so beautiful. "Wah~" he smiled brightly and held out his hand to allow the snowflakes to fall into his awaiting palm. One of the many things he liked about his power was that he could make his surrounding area snow.
