Maybe... I could give you the gift before them after all... 

As you please... 

Only a happy memory and pixie dust away from fulfilling my dream... We made love with such a gratefulness and dedication for each other. I couldn't resist the sweetness that flooded every vein... every cell of my body, sprinkling it with sensitive chills. The drug was so subtle. 

There was nothing left... only me, the overwhelming presence in my strong heartbeat and the incredible feeling of uplifting freedom in my shivering feet. Under the dandelion crown, covering my naked chest, I felt so weak... yet so light I could fly through the wind so easily alike a fluff. 

There was nothing but that sensation, making me feel drunk by the moment and merging with the universe. I'm losing myself... or maybe I already did. 

Yeonjun... 

I barely forced my eyes to open and my head to tilt to see his swollen lips slowly kissing the skin of my arm, bathed in sweet nectar and glistening under the rising sun. 

Blow it already... I can't handle it anymore... 

Finally let me fly. 

Only one more happy memory and I'll send you to the clouds... Promise. 

The sunrise found its way through the tree branches and tickled my nose, making me want to move. However, my body seemed so stiff as if it had been asleep for a very long time. As if the sticky glitter hardened on me... paralyzed me. 

Wake up... The intuition whispered to me in a thin voice. 

I- 

"Jun...," I frowned uncomfortably above the sudden scary feeling of being trapped, when he gently sucked on one of my fingers. 

I know it's wrong... but I can't help it. 

"You're so sweet, babe," the juiced fairy moaned in pleasure, before he carefully sunk his teeth into my wrist. 

Ahh~ 

Something seems off... The rational thought forced itself into my mind, while a reciprocated moan left my mouth slightly open. Isn't this supposed to hurt? 

The sun ray tickled me again. 

Ha- 

A-choo! 

A powerful sneeze shook all of my existence and threw my forearm over my mouth, making Yeonjun dodge to the side. Tingling spread through my limbs, as I tried hard to wake up my psyche. 

God dammit - I clenched my teeth because of increasing pain, watching the blood running down my arm with my eyes widened in suppressed fright. When I quickly checked up on our surroundings, I noticed the forest looked slightly different compared to my last memories. Not only because of lack of the trees... the other three fairies were obviously missing on this mossy clearing too. How long have we been here?

"What's wrong?" 

What's- 

I winced back to Yeonjun, innocently watching me with his head tilted to the heavier side with the unbroken antler. His tongue strayed to a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. 

Wendigo... I swallowed the lasting sweet taste. The crumbling dandelion crown slid down my chest, connecting the sparkles of pixie dust with the reappearing memory of my dream full of temptation. Guess I have a culprit for this daze... 

"I still wanna fly with Kai," I replied impromptu, leaning back to the ground... avoiding the body that was getting on a top of me again. 

"Don't worry, we crowned him already too," Yeonjun smirked kind of carelessly, reaching for my face. 

But the angel wings... Kai doesn't need a pixie dust to fly. I thought as my mind finally sobered with the shock. 

As skillfully as I could with this stiff body, I slipped out from under the fire fairy, possessed with his ancient blood that was supported by the numinous pollen. 

He looked at me confused, when I took a few clumsy steps back and grabbed my bleeding wrist. Then regret glimmered in his eyes for a moment.

"Tyun, I-"

"It's not your fault. Just stay here and hold on! I'll find Beomgyu, come up with a cure for you and be back as soon as possible. Just don't touch anything and hold on here!" 

Those were the last words before I started running through the woods of the Magic Island as fast as my legs could take me... 

... hoping that the knight would at least subdue the wendigo enough to stop it from chasing me, because with my dulled powers... that would mean my end. 

Please be somewhere nearby, Healer.

My deep sleep had just subsided, when I noticed Soobin sitting up. In the darkness I barely perceived how he was staring at something placed on his lap, while my narrowed eyes sleepily remained on his gaze that seemed to be quietly lost in his thoughts. 

Is he alright? 

"Hey... What's going on?" I mumbled slightly raising my head. The bangs fell into my view and the movement of my torso made Kai, who was hugging me from behind, tighten his embrace and pull me even closer to his chest. 

"Do you think there is a lake somewhere?" Soobin's raspy voice confused me with an unexpected question. 

A lake? 

"Why?" I wondered with the whole drowsy expression. 

"I thought I'd go for a swim...," the water fairy replied me with a deep disappointed sigh aimed at the thing he was playing with between his fingers. 

Huh? Just that one sentence was enough for me to guess that he was probably not awake, because... 

"You can't swim Soobin-ah... Don't talk nonsense," I giggled quietly as I found it funny how he could think of something so stupid in his dream, "just lie down and sleep... okay?" 

After that, I myself put my head back down into the soft moss and closed my eyes... 

It never occurred to me that I, on the other hand, should have stayed up and watched over him.
