"Hey! Wait up!" San calls out to Seonghwa as he jogs to catch up with him. Seonghwa looks back at him, surprised at his appearance.

"What are doing here?" His dark grey eyes watches San in anticipation.

"Walking with you, what else?" San says in a tone that screamed 'obviously'. He keeps walking forward and glances behind him when he saw that Seonghwa was still watching him, a brow raised in confusion. "Well, are you coming?"

"Uh y-yeah" Seonghwa quickly catches up to him. His confusion just lies on the fact that San had left Wooyoung to come walk with him. The only reason he decided to take a walk was because he could hear that were obviously being intimate inside and wanted to give them privacy. That and it was excruciating having to witness that and pretend he was ok with it.

They walk in silence for a moment, birds chirping in the giant trees overhead. "Do you think your family are worried that you're missing?" San finally breaks the silence.

Seonghwa shakes his head. "I left a note in my bedroom saying, 'I'm out showing Mujin around. If I'm not back after a few days it means he's probably killed me'" He says jokingly.

San's jaw drops and he laughs. "Oh wow, fuck you too"

Seonghwa couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. "I did leave a note though. Just... without that last part. And now I'm kind of regretting not adding it"

San breaks off a twig from a nearby bush and tries hitting him with it but Seonghwa easily evades, laughing triumphantly. "Nice try" He smirks but San wasn't finished. He swings at him again but kept missing.

"Yah! Just let me hit you!" San exclaims with a laugh. "It's shouldn't even hurt"

"Well you'll have to catch me I suppose" Seonghwa says with a grin and tries skipping away. San scrunches his nose, refusing to lose, and vampire speeds right in front of him then wacks him with the twig.

"Gotcha" San smiles in victory.

"That was cheating" Seonghwa growls out and steps closer to him.

San takes notice of how close they were in proximity, Seonghwa's chest practically pressed against his. "Don't be a sore loser" San says with a scoffs as he tries stepping back but not before Seonghwa pushes him to the ground knowing there was a muddy puddle behind him.

San instinctively grabs Seonghwa's arm when he's about to fall. And because of the muddy forest floor from the storm last night, Seonghwa too slips and they fall into the puddle. Seonghwa on top of San.

San's mouth drops open at the ice cold that shot up his back. He looks at Seonghwa and they both simultaneously burst into laughter. "Yah! Why'd you push me?" He lightly smacks his shoulder.

"Why'd you bring me down with you?" Seonghwa retorts with just as much wit. Then their laughter dies and they're left staring at each other in the quiet of the forest.

Seonghwa's eyes shifts to San's lips and San felt his heart skip several beats. The werewolf raises his hand to the side of San's face and he uses his thumb to wipe away the bit of mud that had splattered on his chin and beside his lips. His smooth finger on San's face left goosebumps crawling down his spine.

Then he started leaning down. And San knew he was. He could and should stop him or push him off but he was frozen. And when Seonghwa's lips pressed against his it was like someone else had taken control of his own mind and body. And he kisses him back. It was light and feathery but had his whole body buzzing from head to toe. San felt like he was drowning, and his heart pounded quickly in his chest.

And just as Seonghwa's hand holds him firm on the side of his neck and the kiss slowly deepens he pulls himself out of the deep waters. His eyes snaps open and he pulls back. "S-seonghwa.. no" He shakes his head and quickly pushes the werewolf off him.

He pulls himself to his feet hastily and nearly slips again but was able to steady himself. Water and mud dripping down his back but nothing made him nearly as uncomfortable as this situation they've put themselves in. He shakes his head repeatedly while Seonghwa too slowly pulls himself up from the puddle.

"I'm s-so sorry, I shouldn't have-"

"It's ok" San cuts. "I shouldn't have.. done it back. Let's just forget about it" He finally meets Seonghwa eyes and they held so much desire. Longing. Hunger.

"You know it's not that simple" Seonghwa says with exasperation, finally deciding to reveal all he's been withholding. All he's been enduring.

"I like you, Mujin. Like really really like you... and I know you feel the same way"

San's breath hitches. He takes a deep frustrated breath and turns around, running his hand through his now half muddied hair. "You don't get it do you.." He mutters. "I can't" His voice comes out strangled. He turns to look back at the taller male.

"I can't like you back. I love him, Seonghwa" San says with a pained laugh. "And he loves me. I care about you, I really do, but we can't- we just can't"

Seonghwa steps closer to him. "Tell me you don't feel the same way and I'll stop. I'll move on" His voice was unwavering and determined.

San stays quiet. But he shifts his gaze away from Seonghwa's glossed over eyes. Seonghwa places a hand on the side of his face and caresses his cheek with his thumb. "Tell me you don't feel the same way" Seonghwa repeats under a whisper, pressing his forehead against San's, both their eyes closed.

San bites his bottom lip and swallows hard. "I don-"

"What's going on here?" Wooyoung's voice cuts through the air like a hot knife against butter. San jumps back and turns to meet the narrowed eyes of the vampire prince.

San's eyes widen. "Wooyoung-" He breathes out, blood rushing to his ears. But Wooyoung was already beside him dragging him away from Seonghwa who only glared with a different ferocity in his eyes.

"Did he kiss you?" Wooyoung snaps, turning his head to San.

"Wooyoung calm down-"

"Did he kiss you San?!" He repeats, voice louder and more aggressive.

San gets a pained expression on his face and he hesitates but that was more than enough to answer Wooyoung's question. The vampire scowls. "I knew it.." He whispers and before San could so much as blink Wooyoung had vampire sped into Seonghwa, running him to the ground and throwing back his fist.

His face having shifted to his vampiric appearance and Seonghwa to his werewolf. Seonghwa's pupils appeared even darker, his eyes glowing bright and fangs bared just as Wooyoung hisses in his face. Wooyoung tries throwing punch after punch and Seonghwa catches it or dodges each one. He successfully kicks Wooyoung off him.

"Stop!" San tries getting between them.

But Wooyoung pushes past him, tackling Seonghwa up against a tree and throws a punch which lands on his jaw.

"Stop it!" San tries dragging Wooyoung off. Seonghwa claws at Wooyoung's face, creating 4 bloody cuts on his cheek. They fight and San tries pulling Wooyoung off but the vampire was so furious all he saw was red.

Just then Jongho comes rushing at the scene. "Hey hey hey! What the hell?! Knock it off guys!" He drags Wooyoung off Seonghwa and roughly pushes him against a tree. Wooyoung tries charging at the werewolf again but Jongho wasn't having it. "Yah! I said knock it off"

Wooyoung stands back, breathing heavy and glaring at Seonghwa who was standing behind San and breathing just as heavily. Junkyu was standing to the side, a little nervous. "The fuck is going on here?" Jongho asks, looking between the 3 men.

He was on his way back to the cave with Junkyu only to find them in an altercation in the middle of the forest. He knew Wooyoung didn't like the werewolf but to go as far as physically fighting? Now of all times when they needed to be most united?

"San?" Jongho asks when it clear the other two males were still too heated to speak.

San looks up with glossy eyes. "It's my fault"

"Did you kiss him back?" Wooyoung asks, breath caught in his throat as he waited for the answer. The scratch marks on his cheek having healed now and and left behind 4 streaks of blood. Jongho snaps his head towards Wooyoung, confusion etched on his expression.

San swallows and shifts his gaze away, he didn't have the voice to lie nor the voice to tell him the truth.

Wooyoung scoffs. "Of course you did" He rips his arm from Jongho's hold and turns back down to the cave. And at that point Jongho had managed to put two and two together. He looks back at San who was furiously wiping the tears from his eyes then at Seonghwa who was practically covered in mud. Then he sighs.
