Sunghoon trailed behind Niki and Taki.

His eyes gaze up the three-story magic shop.

He had gone there twice with Sunoo, Heeseung, and Jungwon.


A tall pointed hat on top of the shop's building.

Windows displaying silly magic toys.

Sunghoon swallowed.

A memory of him and the boys went through his mind.

His heart tightened in his chest.


What are they doing now?

Are they still alive?

Sunghoon thought.


Bell chimed as Niki pushed the door open.

A boy looked up from the cashier when they came in.

He had big eyes behind his glasses.


Sunghoon looked around, wondering how the Hunters had their headquarters there in the shop.

Niki led the way to a back room, a room filled with stocks of the shop's products.

He stopped before a wooden wall, next to it was a shelf full of broken toys.

Niki reached his hand to the shelf and pulled down a torch toy with the top broken, it worked as a lever.

The wooden wall slid open.


Revealing a corridor that led to an industrial lift.

They stepped into the lift, and it descend down.


The ride seemed to take forever for Sunghoon.

His anxiety screaming at him, Sunghoon closed his eyes, calming himself.

Finally, the lift reached their desired floor.


Niki walked out along with the rest.

Through gloomy concrete walls and cement floored corridors.

A smell of fried chicken wafted in the air.

They went through a round arch, to a dining room.


Seated at the table chairs were, K and Seon.

Fried chickens before them.


"You guys made it!" Niki cried.

Sprinted to K and hugged his head.


Kyungmin trotted inside the room with an unfamiliar person helping him.

Taki had his jaw dropped.


"I hid in the hole we made in the forest," He told Taki.


"But, how-" Taki trailed off, his mind reliving the past.


"What matters is all of you are safe," Said the unfamiliar man.

His eyes darted to Sunghoon.


"My condolences to your family, as for your mother, I promise we'll get her"

Assure the man, Sunghoon was awed by the man's visual.


"My name is Kim Seokjin, leader of the Hunters"
