"Hyung, do you ever do something really stupid and have no idea how to solve it?"

"Seungmin, what did you do?", Chan asked.

"So I told this guy at a Ramen shop I could beat him in a cooking competition."

"Okay."

"Turns out he's 65 and has been cooking for 50 years."

"Seungmin why don't you ever just...sit down. Take a nap."

The members of Stray Kids were in a rental home near a place called Mt. Yoshino in Japan.

It was part of a group vacation they decided to take so they could have some away time from the hustle and bustle of idol life.

While Seungmin was getting advice from Chan, the other members were about town with each other, exploring.

One specific pair were going to Mt. Yoshino to see the Cherry Blossom trees together.

Changbin and Hyunjin were walking up the pathway leading into the mountain, holding hands.

"Look at these! They're so beautiful. And all these petals on the ground.", Hyunjin said.

"Oh but it's not as beautiful as you."

"Hyungggg. No flirting on the mountain."

"Right, we don't want to make the blossoms jealous of our love."

Hyunjin smiled, still walking along the path and using his other hand to take pictures of the view.

Changbin admired him the entire time.

He was in love, that he was sure of.

The pair reached a part of the path that was blocked off by a gate. Hyunjin pushed the gate open, and the pair walked inside.

The gate shut behind them.

"Hyunjin, are you sure we should be here?", Changbin asked.

"It said the mountain was open. I'm sure it's fine."

The pair kept walking.

Hyunjin got closer to Changbin.

As they got closer to a high point, it got darker above them, and the trees began to completely cover them.

By the time they reached one of the high points, the trees were blocking out the sunlight.

Hyunjin squeezed Changbin's hand, and the older turned to him.

"What's wrong?"

"It's dark. And why is no one here?"

"I don't know. Maybe we took a wrong path."

Hyunjin heard noises like an animal running around, and it scared him, causing him to almost jump into Changbin's arms.

"It's okay Hyunjin. We can go back down."

"I scared daddy! I don't like it!", he screamed.

Changbin mentally cursed, realizing Hyunjin had slipped into his headspace.

"Hey, baby, let's walk back down."

"Not let go my hand daddy."

"I won't little dumpling."

Changbin and Hyunjin started to go back the direction they came.

When they reached an area where the trees started to clear around them, they could see down the pathway.

Or at least, they should have.

"Daddy, why we so far up?"

Changbin looked down the pathway. It seemed to go on forever.

No sign of the gate.

No sign of the town.

"Uh...I don't know little dumpling."

The pair kept walking.

They walked for fifteen minutes, getting no closer to the gate or the end of the path.

They were surrounded by cherry blossom trees, and endless stone steps in the front and back of them.

"Okay, this is bad.", Changbin said.

"What we do daddy? Why not go home?"

"We seem to be stuck baby. We need to find a way out of here."

Changbin looked around.

All he could see for miles and miles were trees.

He took out his phone, hoping to call for help.

Luckily, someone picked up the phone.

"Hola, me llamo Minho. What do you want?"

"Minho, where are you?"

"Trying to find a place that sells fried chicken bowls."

"Not shocked. Anyways, this is an emergency."

"What's wrong?"

"Hyunjin and I seem to be stuck on Mt. Yoshino. We can't find our way back?"

"How dude? It's a straight path up and down."

"Well we went through a gate and-"

"Hold up. A gate?"

"Yes?"

"Changbin, there are no gates on Mt. Yoshino. The paths are open. None are blocked off unless it's the entrance."

Changbin looked at Hyunjin.

"Well, Hyunjin opened a gate, and we went through."

"Aish, you two. Why go through a mysterious gate huh? Now look at you, stuck."

"Minho please, what do we do?"

"I'll come find you. And I'm bringing Jisung since he begged me to find this chicken."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Changbin hung up.

Little Hyunjin was pouting, making Changbin concerned.

"What's wrong baby?"

"I did bad thing daddy?"

"No you didn't. You were just curious."

"B-but...we got stuck. A-and it's all because me!", Hyunjin said before starting to whine.

Changbin hugged him.

"We'll get back home. I know it."

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Yeah they're fucked.", Jisung said.

"Han be optimistic please.", Minho replied.

The Minsung pair were walking up Mt. Yoshino, and had yet to come across a gate.

"Where could they be?", Jisung asked.

"I don't know. But..."

Minho paused for a second, looking ahead.

"Jisung look, its the gate!"

The two ran for it.

Jisung opened the door to the gate, that seemed to just lead to another half of the path.

"Minho, if they couldn't come back...will we?"

"It's worth a shot."

Minho thought for a second before walking in and quickly shutting the gate.

"Minho, open the gate, what are you doing?"

The gate suddenly latched shut, and Jisung was unable to open it.

"Minho, open this gate!"

"Jisung, go back to the house and tell everyone what's happening here."

"Lee Minho, open this gate."

"I don't want you to be stuck somewhere you can't come back from."

"And you want me to let you be the one stuck? Hell no, open this!"

Minho held Jisung's hand through the bars of the gate.

For a few seconds, they made eye contact.

"Jisung, go back down. I'll try to find them."

"And if you can't?"

Minho sighed. Then, he smiled at Jisung.

"Then...", Minho said, starting to take off his necklace.

He handed it to Jisung.

"I'll see you again someday."

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Hyunjin please do not consume the cherry blossoms."

"Taste good daddy. Want one?"

"No...I do not."

The pair were sitting on the stone steps, having no idea what to do.

As Changbin was about to suggest that they keep walking, he heard footsteps.

The pair looked down the path to see Minho walking towards them.

"Minho!", Hyunjin yelled, running to him.

Hyunjin jumped on Minho, who held him up and hugged him.

"Wow Hyunjin, never thought you would be this excited to see me."

"I always excited for seeing Minho!"

Minho looked at Changbin, then back to Hyunjin.

"Why does he sound like that?", he asked.

Changbin laughed.

"Ever heard of littlespace?"

"No way...Hyunjin?"

"Yep. I've known for about...seven months."

Hyunjin smiled at Minho, who did the same.

"He's precious. Anyways, shall we try and discover a way out?"

"We shall.", Changbin replied.

Minho now held Hyunjin's hand as they walked down.

Changbin walked behind them.

"So, what's going to happen if we're stuck here forever?", he asked.

"Then at least we get a beautiful view for however long we live.", Minho replied.

"And uh...where is Jisung?"

Minho stopped.

"I made him stay. I didn't want him to be stuck too."

"Oh..."

"It's fine. If we can't get back...he'll be okay. And at least I can annoy the two of you for the rest of our lives."

"Hyunjin let's leave him in the trees somewhere."
