in what seemed like the blink of an eye, something came barreling through wooyoung's open window.

wooyoung's initial reaction was to scream, but he remembered that his family was sleeping so he slapped a tense hand over his mouth in order to stop himself. his whole body instead used that energy to jerk back, his body almost slamming into the wall behind him.

his frantic eyes stared at whatever this thing that flew into his room was.

but it wasn't a thing.

it was a person.

this random stranger that was in his room looked to be a boy about his age, yet he seemed so different. first of all, he was levitating a few centimeters off of the floor, which was certainly not something a normal person could do. his body was covered in leaves, and it seemed that the leaves were his clothes. a couple of bands of leaves and vines wrapped around his torso, covering a decent amount, yet still displaying an attractive six-pack that most people would spend ages working for. the leaves thankfully formed a pretty much full pair of pants, a dagger and some weird metal case notably being fastened to his waist by a vine. the boy was oddly not wearing any shoes. his attire was incomparable to wooyoung's current dress of an undershirt and a pair of blue and black plaid pajama pants.

then wooyoung saw the boy's face.

oh god.

the boy's face was literally something else. my god, he was so goddamn handsome. from his hazel eyes to his messy, yet strangely attractive pink hair... his visuals were absolutely breathtaking. a ring of leaves sat on his head almost like a crown on his head, only enhancing his royal visuals and bringing attention to his inhumane yet strangely beautiful pointy ears.

wooyoung didn't know what to do, so he spoke in a tentative and cautious voice. "who are y-you?"

the boy must've not noticed wooyoung before, because he visibly jumped, his levitating form now suddenly obeying the rules of gravity. the boy spoke, his voice confident, yet it still seeped some confusion. "no one."

the dark-haired boy threw the covers fully off of his body, getting out of his bed for the second time that night. the boy that seemed to be from nature stood not that much taller than wooyoung.

"what are you doing in my room, mister, uh, no one?"

the boy looked down at the carpet for a long second before looking up at wooyoung, shrugging his muscular shoulders cutely. "i, uh... my shadow ran away from me, and i thought i saw it come in here."

wooyoung blinked, remembering the strange events from before this encounter. he leaned a bit to his side, pointing a thumb at the wall behind him. "you mean that shadow?"

the boy's eyes widened significantly. "yes! thank you."

wooyoung watched as the pink-haired boy walked up to his bed and stood on it, reaching for the shadow with absolute intention. his fingers somehow cleanly gripped onto the edges of the abyss-like shadow. the boy let out a few distinct mutters, unintelligible yet the words still had an annoyed tinge to their tone.

as wooyoung observed the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but question everything. was this a dream? this seemed so much like a dream, a handsome boy literally flying into his room was something that never happens to anyone normal.

the boy suddenly flew back off of the bed, the dark mass of the strange shadow pulling free from the wall. wooyoung jumped back, allowing the stranger to fall back onto the carpet. the pink-haired boy let out a minute, cute huff, struggling to keep the shadow still. "my shadow won't stick. he keeps running away from me."

wooyoung glanced over at his desk, slowly picking up his tape dispenser. "i could, er, tape it to you... if you'd like."

the stranger stopped moving, sitting up straight and looking at wooyoung with a look filled with hope and slight joy. "really?"

the dark-haired boy nodded, before sitting on the carpet right next to the stranger next to him.

for some reason this pink-haired boy was strangely intriguing and somehow made wooyoung feel... comfortable. since he was a stranger, the dark-haired boy felt like he should be way more weary or cautious with him, but this strange mister no one had something about him that made wooyoung feel like he could trust him.
