Chapter 16: it was you?

yeosang shuddered, but he let go of hongjoong's shoulder. "very well."

hongjoong had a freezing aura surrounding him. wooyoung and yeosang backed off a little, not wanting to die from hypothermia or anything related to ice and cold. it seemed that the cold had a will of its own. "please show yourself." hongjoong continued. "we have no intention to hurt you."

yeosang rolled his eyes, chuckling at the fact that hongjoong had already froze the whole room. "no intentions to hurt?" he laughed.

"shut up yeosang, let me be." hongjoong hissed. wooyoung wanted to stop the arguing, but he was scared, and unsure of what would happen. he backed away, looking for somewhere to hide.

"if you want my help, come out and be quick about it." hongjoong continued to talk, releasing freezing air. "i won't wait around forever."

"okay, i'm getting scared now." wooyoung complained, looking for a way out. "hongjoong, don't be reckless, okay?" he added and exited the freezing room with yeosang behind him.

"he's going to be fine." yeosang smiled and ruffled wooyoung's hair once again. "he's a little fired up, that's all." he laughed.

"I realized that a few hours ago..." wooyoung pouted.

after a few minutes, wooyoung and yeosang were alerted by hongjoong's scream coming from the room. the duo ran inside immediately, ignoring the freezing air. they stopped as soon as they saw someone standing in front of hongjoong. yeosang widened his eyes, putting his hand on his mouth in shock.

"y- you-" he stuttered, not believing his eyes. "it's you!" he continued.

"well hello to you too, yeosangie." the oddly familiar voice called. "long time no see, huh?"
