DAL-MIN'S POV
The moment I freaked out that maybe Ha-Jun might have got lost because he knows nothing about earth, or they might have found out about his true identity and maybe captured him for experimental purposes....! I didn't waste time and literally ran off to exactly nowhere "yeah right, I don't know where he is" I groaned to my carelessness I was running off without even putting a barrier to the cabin.
I turned back and held out my hands and chanted the mantra that I knew like the back of my hand and with a zap the seal was on "no worries just a litte trick my grandfather used to teach me on a daily basis" I turned my back to my next location "and now how to find Ha-Jun" I looked around, I would be lying to say that I am gonna sprint out of here and find him, it looks he left long time ago and wouldn't catch up to him "except..." I thought for a second "I can find him with a special spell if I have anything related to him.
"Do I have anything?" I searched through my pockets and took out the pendant that was shining brightly and held it in my hand trying to feel him and as expected,... "He's far away I will have to move" and that was the only option left for now, "I'll find you Junie" I gasp "Junie?" now am making nicknames, "jeez whatever I think it's cute" I shrugged it off and set out into the woods am sure he did use this route because the highway is far from here....

THIRD PERSON'S POV
Dal-min walked for hours lucky for him he had water which he drunk carefully the journey was still up ahead. Unlike Ha-Jun, Dal-min didn't face much problems finding his way out after all he's grown into this forest and knows everything about it. His grandfather taught him a lot of things like he was just waiting for young Dal-min to accept this was his new home now and he got accustomed to it.
He knew all the hiding places and would easily get out of the grasp of anyone but he also knew the dangers lurking around any wrong step and you would be the next prey for sure.
It was already evening "ding it!" he groaned out of frustration, he came so far but he still can't feel him "is he even ok?" that unexpected thought stood his hair up thinking of the worst "I won't give up on you Ha-Jun" he promised and stood up straight from where he was leaned on and walked further away atleast now there were houses he was assured he wasn't ate by wild animals in the forest it only meant he was out of the woods.
Suddenly he came to a halt, he can feel it, he took out the pendant and it was shining bright almost putting the moon to shame. He smiled widely "I knew the spell would work" he congratulated his hardwork and looked up ahead of him making him frown "an abandoned house?" that was weird and he could finally figure out Ha-Jun was really in trouble "you dumbo" he placed the necklace back and hide behind the trees to see the area around around him, this place was suspicious now looking at it properly, there was just one house that too almost crumbling but that was just the face and Dal-min knew it.
It was a minute later into his hiding he saw a man in black a gun onto his waist band "of course Kang-dae fucking minions" he could feel anger radiate off him "oh no did they see Ha-Jun with me, I put him in danger..."
Dal-min closed his eyes and breathed out opening them again and taking out his hidden dagger inside his cloak "I won't allow you to hurt another person from me" he glared at the man who was patrolling around.
The man had no idea someone was following him behind stealthily while he opened a wooden door just behind the house and enclosed himself in. Dal-min looked around again and no one was here and slipped into the unfamiliar door leading to the under ground.
Under, there was light flicking off and on and dangling left and right like someone tampered with it. The more he walked in the more he felt Ha-Jun closer he was definitely down here and so he followed. Someone was coming his way and he quickly hid to one of the open holes, that was a close one.
He followed the path and he could hear murmurs coming from another room and he could tell what it was.
"Speak up who sent you!?" the question was followed with a groan and he knew who it belonged to making him more mad
"I told you I came here for my stuff!" Ha-Jun's muffled voice spoke getting weaker 'they might have beat him up' Dal-min thought and it was enough to make him more angry.
"You! Who are you?" the guy was back and he saw him, well bad timing. Dal-min was quick to hold his neck and twist it to where it didn't belong but too late he was already found out "get him" the voice ordered and he didn't wait to attack either getting them real good and fast maybe thanks to his temper he was more aggressive than he ever was.
His dagger came in handy as he was held by his throat but cut open the guy's thigh making him fall to the ground crying in pain and the next hit was to his neck. Just one more person left and was about to shoot Dal-min who threw his dagger at him getting him good in the eye and falling flat to the ground.
Panting hard he looked around and saw Ha-Jun tied up to a chair his hair messy his lower lip busted many bruises all over his face. He quickly ran to him and knelt in front of him "Ha-Jun, what did they do to you, talk to me wake up" he patted his cheeks desperately for him to wake up and fortunately Ha-Jun opened his eyes the first thing doing is smiling at Dal-min before him "you-...came" he managed a voice and Dal-min almost bust into tears "you scared me" he pulled him into a hug unknowingly making Ha-Jun to gasp but also because someone was behind Dal-min.
"Dal-min look out!" Ha-Jun screamed but too late he was hit with a bat onto his head and fell to the floor "you thought you are a smart one" the guy grinned proudly as Ha-Jun looked at the whole scene with wide shocked eyes, "Dal-min!" he called out to him but he didn't respond.
Ha-Jundoesn't know how but his eyes glew gold and suddenly broke out from his ropes "HOW.DARE.YOU!" he was enraged making whoever was down there with him shiver in fear and wanting to run away but he wasn't gonna let them....

"Urgh....." Dal-min groaned slightly opening his eyes he was in an unfamiliar environment before the memories flooded in "Ha-Jun!" he called out wanting to run off to where he thought he left him but a hand pulled him back "not so.... fast" Ha-Jun said with a lot of pain as Dal-min looked back to see Ha-Jun was leaning onto a car truck as Dal-min had laid his head to his legs earlier "what happened?" he asked worriedly as he checked Ha-Jun he was pretty hurt "nothing serious" he struggled the words out as Dal-min playfully hit his arm and Ha-Jun groaned "sorry, are you okay, we need to get out of here" Dal-min said as he looked around only to find out they were still here.
"I knocked them out they won't be waking up anytime soon" Ha-Jun spoke and Dal-min looked at him "but there must be others coming soon we need to go" Dal-min stood up and got his dagger back into his cloak and pulling Ha-Jun up who leaned onto him "do you know what's funny?" Ha-Jun hummed while they walked away "is every time I find you, you're always in trouble" they both chuckled "sorry about that", suddenly Dal-min remembered something "ooh no weren't you there for your stuff" he tried to turn back but Ha-Jun held him to walk further "leave it" he simply said "it must be important" he argued but Ha-Jun only smiled "will get it some other day we are both hurt and as you said they will be here more we can't take them down in this state" he nodded, Ha-Jun was right they would outnumber them and he was really weak now he used up all his energy to fight those men it was a loosing game maybe his ring, he would get it another time he can't get someone else in danger because of it.
"Don't spare them kill them!" they heard the voices "shit!" they both spoke out loud and tried to walk faster "Ha-Jun we can't make it but I have another way" Ha-Jun looked at Dal-min waiting to hear his idea "do you trust me?" he asked "for someone who saved me twice of course I trust you" Dal-min was almost taken back at the sincere reply but this was not the time. "When I say jump, you jump" Ha-Jun nodded and they dashed across the trees Dal-min immediately shouting
"Jump!"....
