Once Seonghwa had disappeared past the trees, San was left sitting in silence with Wooyoung who seemed to have a troubled look on his face. His brows were knitted together and bottom lip caught between his teeth. San turns to him, genuine worry on his face. "Is something wrong?"

Wooyoung doesn't say anything for a moment then he shakes his head and releases a short laugh. "Ignore me. I'm probably just reading too much into it"

San cocks his head to the side, confusion etched on his strong features. "Tell me"

Wooyoung glances at him then back at the vampire and merman pair that were now quietly talking in the water while floating really close to each other. Then he looks back at San. "Did you have some kind of... romantic history with.. him. The werewolf I mean" Wooyoung asks, his tone unsure and hesitant.

San's eyes widen a little. And at first he thought about telling him the truth but then he thought 'what good would that do except plant these unnecessary negative emotions in Wooyoung'. Especially when Seonghwa's just a fleeting crush. Nothing more. "No. He's just a good friend, I told you"

Wooyoung smiles at him. It was a smile so sweet, so charming, he couldn't help but return it. His insides a fluttering mess.

Their eyes lands on each other's lips and they simultaneously lean in, pressing their lips firmly against each other's. And it felt right. San wasn't sure he'd ever get over how amazing Wooyoung made him feel.

Their lips move slow before picking up intensity and they're soon making out, battling for dominance, their tongues over lapping. San pushes him back in the dewy grass and throws his legs over his torso, straddling him, all while their lips remain connected.

His hands roam Wooyoung's neck up the sides of his face and into his dark hair. While Wooyoung's hands trail up San's top, rubbing at the bare skin on his hips.

San breaks apart for air and begins kissing and gently sucking down his jawline. Little pants and lewd moans escape Wooyoung's lips and San couldn't lie it was arousing as hell. Wooyoung angles his head for San to do away with his neck and San took pleasure in covering every area with a kiss. He trailed back up to his lips, hovering over the sinful temptation and he whispers, "I missed you so much"

Wooyoung smiles a little against his lips. "I missed you too" Their lips connect once again, heads angled and hearts humming for each other. Before San had realized it his hips began moving against Wooyoung's crotch and a strangled moan forces its way up Wooyoung's throat and into their kiss. Yeah, now San was definitely aroused.

"Oh for fuck's sake, get a room you two!" Jongho yells out to them from across the river forcing them to break apart once they remembered they weren't actually alone. San almost cursed out loud out of annoyance.

He sits up and pulls himself off Wooyoung's hips just as Jongho arrives at shore. "Sorry but I didn't sign up for front row seats to see you guys do... whatever that was" He shakes his head like a wet dog and water sprays everywhere. San cringes and had to shield his face from the droplets of hair water.

"Cockblocker" Wooyoung scowls at him.

Jongho simply winks and sits in the other side of San. "So where to next? Your mom? Jaejoong?" Jongho asks as he pulls his knees up to his chest.

Wooyoung sits up with an exasperated sigh. "I'm going after Jaejoong alone. The last thing I need is to lose anyone else to him"

Jongho and San were quick to protest. "Like hell you are" Jongho spits out at the same time as San's "Absolutely not"

"You're not going up against him alone Wooyoung, don't be dense" San glares at him. He couldn't believe he'd even suggested it.

"I had Junkyu hold onto the dagger he used on me" He retorts just as Junkyu swims up to them, his green tail glistening in the sunlight under the water. "I'll use it on him"

"That's your grand plan? And how do you plan on getting close to him all by yourself?" Jongho challenges.

"I'll figure it out" Wooyoung says with a shrug. San shakes his head repeatedly. Wooyoung may be stubborn by nature but so was he.

"I'm not letting you go after him alone, do you hear me? We're in this together. All of us" He glances at Jongho, Junkyu and back to Wooyoung.

"I just got you back, there no way in hell I'm letting you go again" He whispers that last part to him.

Wooyoung couldn't help the smile that tugged at his lips. Hearing San speak so passionately about him.. it made his heart feel full.

"Alright" Wooyoung surrenders. "Alright you win. But if any of you gets hurt I'll kill you myself" They all laugh at that.

Just then Seonghwa bursts through the trees. "I could smell a heretic and a handful of soldiers several miles down" He immediately warns.

They all perk up in alarm. Wooyoung looks at Jongho and Jongho's expression matches Wooyoung's. "Did you get a look at them?" Jongho asks already reaching for his clothes.

"No. Werewolves are only able to use nature to scout up to certain distances. All I know is they're female. And strong"

"Matches the description. It's Chiyo. We need to move. Now" Wooyoung quickly throws his top on and Junkyu is pulling himself out of the water.

Within minutes they were off, traveling as a small group. To where? No one was sure. But then Jongho suggests they go back to the place Wooyoung and his mother were held prisoners for so long. He knew it was a long shot and there's no way Jaejoong would be stupid enough to do it but perhaps Wooyoung's mom was still there.

"And you're sure it's not a trap?" San asks wearily. "What if they're counting on you to go back but there's a trap waiting"

Wooyoung shrugs, "Then we'll face it together. I can't leave her in that coffin for a day longer. I was in there 4 years and nearly lost my mind. She's been there for over 70 years. I need to get her out" He was so determined, San dare not try talking him out of it again. So instead he nods slowly.

Junkyu hadn't eaten for over a day so it was decided that they go back to the cave and wait while Jongho goes into a nearby town with the merman to get some food.

Which left San with Wooyoung and Seonghwa. Alone. It felt suffocating because no matter how hard San tried for them to be on good terms it was very clear they didn't like each other.

And it couldn't simply be blamed on the bad blood between vampires and werewolves because Seonghwa seemed to get along with Jongho ok. It was Wooyoung that he had a problem with.

They nearly came to blows about three times now, last night included, and it was always over petty things. San also noticed Wooyoung tended to be extra toucy with him whenever he knew Seonghwa would be watching. He didn't put it together before until he slowly became hyper aware of the werewolf's presence and would begin picking up on those little things.

Right now they were seated inside the cave. Wooyoung and San fed, downing the extra blood bags Jongho had brought from the palace some days ago. While Seonghwa sat outside the cave but could still obviously hear what they said.

"Have you tried feeding from the vein?" Wooyoung asks, turning fully to San, an expectant glint in his eyes.

San sucks up the last drop from his blood bag and couldn't help but smirk at him, half shy and half uncomfortable. Uncomfortable because he knew a certain someone could hear them. "What do you think?"

Wooyoung just shrugs and brushes San's raven black hair out of his face. He wraps the single white strand of hair around his finger, running his thumb over it. His gaze shifts to San's eyebrows, dark feathery wisps of hair. His eyeslashes, long and thick. Hazel eyes with the tiniest flecks of green in them watches him in silence as well. His nose, small and delicate and gave all the attention to his strong cheek bones. His lips, another universe in their own right. Honeyed, dewy, pale pink heaven. They always sent his brain into overdrive and took his breath away whenever they kissed.

They were slightly parted and had a bit of blood standing out stark against the perfect pink of his lips. Wooyoung leans forward, his tongue swiping at San's bottom lip. The blood sweet on his tongue. He licks at his top lip this time and San couldn't help the shivery breath that squeezed past his throat. His eyes were now shut and Wooyoung's mouth hovers over San's parted lips, teasing him.

San kisses him, rough and hungry. And Wooyoung returns it with just as much need. He places both hands behind San's neck, bringing him even closer. San held Wooyoung's arm loosely as he let himself sink deep and deeper into the abyss that is Wooyoung's kisses.

Slowly Wooyoung pulls back, San's bottom lip caught between his teeth ever so slightly. He lets it go and slowly opens his eyes just as San does. His chestnut colored irises appeared darker and glazed over. "You had some blood on your lips" Wooyoung whispers, voice hoarse.

San closes his eyes and chuckles. Their foreheads connected. "Idiot"

"I'm going for a walk" Seonghwa announces from outside the cave and this causes San to abruptly sit back, remembering that the werewolf was still here.

"I could go for a walk too" San says but Seonghwa hadn't heard him and was already walking down the path heading south.

Wooyoung pouts and holds his hand. "Noo stay with me" He whines like a child and San rolls his eyes while pulling himself up to his feet.

"No offense but I'm getting tired of this stale cave. I need some fresh air" San dusts himself and ducks out of the cave. "We'll be back, don't worry" He says with a playful grin before disappearing from the entrance.

Wooyoung simply slumps back on the cave floor. He runs a hand through his messy hair which was basically now dry from that morning's swim. He picks up a small pebble and runs it between his fingers repeatedly.

He didn't want to admit it but he knew he was probably being irrationally paranoid. But it's not like it's without reason. He may be slow at times but he's not an idiot. He's seen how Seonghwa looks at San. It's too obvious, he clearly is infatuated with the vampire-drow and until early that morning he thought it was one sided. But then at the river... the way they looked at each other...

He shakes his head and releases a long exasperated breath. They're just friends, San told me himself.
