"Dad, it hurts." Woozi cried, sniffling into Yoongi's shoulder. Yoongi rubbed his back, quietly trying to comfort him. Up ahead, Jungkook had Jeonghan on his shoulders and was playing with him so he didn't get bored on the trip.

Due to Yoongi's lack of anything worth owning, the group had to walk to the 'doctors'. They probably could have tried to get one of the water creatures to swim them or the air creatures to fly them, but Woozi caused that much of a fuss when they left that they scared everyone away.

For someone in pain, he sure could scream.

Woozi had now quietened down and was now back to being in pain. Yoongi had a feeling the pain had something to do with his withdrawals, given the fact he was also hungry for hearts.

"I want to eat a heart..." Woozi mumbled, pouting.

"Hey, Woozi, look." Yoongi turned Woozi slightly so he could see Jungkook and Jeonghan. "You can't give in to your wants, you've got to fight through, okay? Look at what you're doing it for, do it for Jeonghan."

Jeonghan and Jungkook was both smiling as they looked up at a group of normal, nice fairies fluttering above in the trees. One flew down on to Jeonghan's hand and he giggled. Woozi decided he looked very pretty like that.

Woozi smiled slightly before looking back at Yoongi.

"I want to become human." Yoongi smiled and kissed Woozi's cheek.

"You can do it, Woozi, I believe in you." Woozi returned back to his original position with his head resting against Yoongi's shoulder. He absentmindedly played with the back of Yoongi's hair as they walked, staring blankly off into space.

There was a loud flapping noise that made everyone jump and suddenly there was a winged man standing in front of the group. Jungkook looked nervously at Yoongi, who shrugged. Even Yoongi didn't recognise the guy.

"Where are you guys headed?" The man asked, staring cooly at them.

"The Gumiho witch's place." Yoongi answered, watching the man warily.

"If you want, I can take you there. It's a bit of a walk but I can fly there in no time." Yoongi frowned, not sure how one guy could carry all four of them quickly. "I'm Kris, a dragon. Well, shapeshifter, but you know." Kris shrugged.

"Dragon??" Jeonghan exclaimed, looking both excited and frightened. Woozi was still staring blankly off into space, he'd barely even acknowledged the guy.

"Kind of. I can turn into a dragon." Kris said, and Jeonghan smiled, looking at Woozi.

"Woozi! He's a dragon!" Woozi smiled slightly, which was apparently good enough for Jeonghan in his excited state. "Can we ride on the dragon? Can we? Can we?"

In Jeonghan's excitement, he started kicking his feet, which hit Jungkook's chest. Jungkook laughed slightly, trying to calm the boy down.

"Eh, might as well..." Yoongi shrugged.

"Yay!!" Jeonghan threw his arms up in the air, almost falling off of Jungkook's shoulders. Kris smiled at Jeonghan, amused by the little cat-boy.

"Okay, well, if you just give me some space..." Everyone stood back a bit and Kris began to turn into a dragon. Jeonghan got even more excited when he'd fully changed.

"It's a dragon!" He exclaimed, pointing. Jungkook chuckled as he pulled him off of his shoulders and carried him over to the dragon. Yoongi followed close behind, with a less excited Woozi in his arms.

Had Woozi not been suffering from withdrawals, it would have been a completely different story. It almost made Yoongi glad he was a little calmer. Almost.

Everyone climbed up on to Kris, sitting down near his shoulders. Once he was sure they were secure, Kris flew up into the air, earning an excited squeal from Jeonghan. Jeonghan's long hair flicked in Jungkook's face, whipping it.

Jungkook just continued to smile, despite the pain he was going through by looking after Jeonghan.

"They look like ants! Appa, look!" Jeonghan pointed down at the trees and looked up at Jungkook. Jungkook's smile widened when he realised Jeonghan had called him 'Appa'.

"They're pretty small." Jungkook agreed, looking down at the trees. Jeonghan continued to smile happily throughout the trip, while Woozi eventually fell asleep.

Yoongi kissed the top of Woozi's head, gently stroking his hair. He really hoped his baby was okay.

He didn't want anything to happen to him in his attempts to become human.
