THIRD PERSON POV

"Find information about a girl named Krystal. Don't tell anyone about this, or you're dead."

A young lady hugged her books tightly as she walks down the school hallways. The sun may have started to hurt her arms she didn't mind it. She was very occupied at the moment.

Her mind lingers those two lines a man gave her. Shivers went down her spine as she remembers how that man treated her harshly just to follow his orders.

She embraced the books even tighter as sweat starts to pour down from her head. The sun's rays starts to get hotter, turning her skin a light red. She endured.

Her mind was too occupied, she didn't notice a man running in a fast pace. His looks, worried that he might not get in his class and be late, for his first.

"Excuse me!! Excuse me!!" The young man exclaimed in a, rather, hurried and pitched voice.

"Excuse me!! Sorry! Excuse me!" The people got shoved a bit to the side and they looked at him with confused faces. Indeed, very distracting to see.

"Excuse me-!!"

And it happened, the two crossed and fell harshly to the ground. Books were scattered messily and groans of pain were expressed.

They had the crash too harshly.

"Ach, ow." The girl painfully expressed, massaging softly her side. The man, on the other hand, scratched his head.

"Aish, you got no cool, you piece of rubber." He exclaimed, as if talking to his shoes, which is a weird sight. Oh well~

"Aah! Cheongsumnida!" He apologized and quickly picked up all of the books scattered. The girl came to her senses and upon realizing what just happened, she shrieked.

"Omona!" She mumbled, picking her books from her side. She got too focused with keeping her stuff and total possibility of getting punished by the teacher, she touched a hand of another person, amidst picking a book from her left.

The two surprisingly flinched at the contact, the girl quickly letting go of her book while the boy just scoffed a bit and picked up the book instead. The two stood up in the same time, another round of awkwardness.

"U-Uhm, cheongsumnida miss. H-Here," She gradually accepted the book from him after he said those words, still feeling a bit awkward. She didn't speak and looked down to her shoes.

"Ha, its been a week since I studied here and I still don't recognize my schedule. I'm sorry again for this incident." He again, apologized, but she stayed quiet. He cringed.

"So, uh," He rubbed the back of his head, obviously doesn't know what to do next but to just leave. "I'll be going? Bye!"

As soon as the certain boy left in a hurry, she took another step forward when she noticed something below. She picked it up and noticed it was an I.D. She widen her eyes by shock.

"W-Wai-!" She called out, but she was the only one left in the hallways. Did the bell ring? She didn't hear.

She quickly took all her stuff and walked hurriedly, the I.D. on her hand. She took a quick glance at it.

'Mark Lee, huh?'

A small smile creeped on her lips.

~~~~~

"Let go of her!!" Due to shock, Taeyeon blew out strong wind, knocking not just Mark and Yanna, but apparently Luhan.

"Yah, are you trying to hurt them?!" The man, steps in front of her, yelled at what Taeyeon just did.

"Just shut up, Baekhyun!" Taeyeon yelled back, and quickly went towards where the three people were at.

"Yanna! Thank goodness you're safe," Mark said while hugging the happy Yanna though they're lying on the ground. The two have almost forgotten where they actually are and ignored their surroundings.

"Mark," Said Yanna, hugging him back. She finally felt comfort in her heart, seeing her boyfriend in what she calls a weird household.

Though there also was weird uneasiness.

"Yoona, stop hugging that man!" Out of the blue, Luhan pulled Yanna away from him and quickly pulled Mark by his collar. "Who told you about this place?! How did you get here?!"

"Luhan! You're hurting him!" With Luhan shocked upon hearing his name from her mouth, he was taken aback when Yanna pushed him away from Mark and shielded him. Luhan can't help but look at her with surprise.

"If you people really need me and don't want me gone from this hell-hole of a house, don't take Mark away!" She threatened him. Luhan couldn't believe his ears.

"Yoona, he's just going to--!"

"Again with the "Yoona"! How many times should I have to tell you the name's freaking Yanna!" The lady in front of him couldn't take it anymore and shouted at him. She got tired from the "unknown" people around her calling her a name she never heard before. She felt already miserable, what else is still there to add it?

"Yanna, I'm fine." Yanna quickly looked at Mark who just smiled. "I'm here only for you and to protect you. I can't live another day without seeing you close to me." And with that, Yanna was close to tears she slapped him hard on his side.

"Yah! Stop being dramatic! This is a crisis!" Mark just smiled at her remark.

"You're insane!" Luhan exclaimed, getting both their attention back. "Are you saying we'll take that man with us?! We can't--"

"Then I'll leave with him from this place. I never liked this odd place anyway."

Yanna grabbed Mark's arm and was about to leave with him when she suddenly bumped to a wall. She got surprised with the impact.

'But there's nothing here,' She thought.

She extended her hand out and confirmed herself that there was a wall. She stepped back with shock. There's a wall that she couldn't see!

"You can't leave this place unless I tell you to." All of them looked around to find the source of that voice and didn't expect that it would come from Sam, who was staring at them from the balcony. "Are you thinking it would be that easy?"

"Aish! This is a hellhole!" Yanna couldn't help but whine, with the situation just too much for her. She only wanted to get out, to escape from unbelievable happenings.

But there she was, some invisible force neglecting her from going out and people around her have weird stuff that they do with their hands. Other words, magic!!

'No, its witchcraft!' She opposed.

"But sir, would that mean this guy's coming with us too?" Luhan asked him with his shocked expression while pointing to the man behind Yanna. "He could ruin our mission! A disturbance to be exact!"

"If she will leave us without that man around," The adult spoke in the most comfortable manner, his hand under his chin while observing them from above. " Might as well just bring him in and let him join us."

"Hyung, are you out of your mind?!" Baekhyun exclaimed in a raging voice. "He betrayed us and fooled us! What right would he have to even stick with us?"

"Because Yoona said so," All pf them fell silent and stared at the girl in front of them. Yoona, or Yanna, showed the elder a big smile while holding Mark's hand.

This pained Luhan's chest, and made Baekhyun and Taeyeon surprised.

"For now, he'll be with us to the point of letting him travel with us in going back at SMTown." Sam said with authority in his voice. "Let's then see what would happen from there onwards."

And with that said, he left the balcony.

"Mark!" The silence around them was cut off when Yanna gave Mark a big hug from her. She's the only who was very happy from the elder's command. "I'm now assured that I'm safe." She told him with a feeling of home.

"Tsk," With this scene in front of him, Luhan stomped his way towards the house and entered it abruptly, only to see Sam standing by the staircase.

"Sir Sam!" He quickly ran towards him and heaved heavily in front of him. "What's your real purpose in letting that guy here?"

"So I would see if you'd give her up or not." For a moment, Luhan stiffened with Sam's words ringing in his head. He looked up at him and saw that the elder was looking at him seriously.

Seriously, in a manner of actually putting him into the test.

"This mission isn't just about getting Yoona back for the peace of every kind in our world," Luhan waited his next words while staring at his eyes. "Its also about letting your feelings to finally reach her."

Luhan felt his heart thumping with want, finally getting what Sam meant. When he's this supportive just to let him do this for Yanna, or better yet Yoona, who he was inlove with ever since the start of this mission, why would he take the challenge down?

"I'm expecting a lot, Luhan." Said Sam while ascending the stairs.

"This is the start of the real competition."
