"Asa Asa! Kai would be so jealous if he knew I could teleport while he needed me to do so!" Giggling like a dork Sora squealed, letting go of Xiumin's hands like they are infected. Actually, he was too surprised to notice how she dropped his hands roughly because right now, she seemed super happy, nothing like how she was two minutes before.

Almost immediately Xiumin's eyes turned wide as he turned around to look at his surroundings, feeling excited and giddy to see the place he was so curious to see, except that the place he was in right now was nothing more than a dark alley.

Turning back to the giddy girl, who was busy fixing her appearance mind you, with a scowl.

"Yah! Where are we? This is what you call the human world?" Sora turned around to glance at him, forgetting momentarily her ed shirt to look back at Xiumin with a similar glare.

"Yah your face, this is a hiding place far from them. We can't afford getting caught teleporting now can we?" Rolling her eyes at Xiumin's stupidity, Sora huffed, crossing her hands above her chest with a thoughtful look as she scanned Xiumin's body up and down. 

He looks absolutely normal but the huge animal demon next to him - that was shifted into a huge wolf - would scare everyone around, and Sora cursed herself at her bad luck. Why did she even agree to take him with her again? Oh right, he threatened her.

"Shift your wolf, make it turn into a fluffy white dog or a birdy bird.. Oh no wait, just turn it into a dog," the horrified look that spread on Xiumin's face made her want to laugh, she held herself however and only rolled her eyes at his questioning look.

"I think we both know humans don't have demons beside them. They keep their animals safe and sound in their own places, they have some pets though and a dog would be okay to walk around with. I mean you want to take a stroll yeah?" At the pointed look she gave him, Xiumin sighed and immediately shifted his wolf demon into a mini fluffy dog similar to Suho's, except his was brown and was even more cuter than his, this fact made Sora in the edge of squealing.

"Okay!! Now we are good to go! I know you want to stroll around and show you some places, but first, there is something else to do!" Xiumin swears that the Sora beside him isn't the same Sora he knows, this Sora was so excited and smiley and jumpy and everything, the real Sora is a pain in the , an arrogant assface.

It was when Sora took his hands and started to drag him somewhere god knows where, did he started to examine the place they are in again. Just like how he imagined it to be, the human world was super similar to theirs in so many things yet it was super different too. He was dragged by Sora in a street filled with unknown people who seemed to know her all too well as they started greeting her with smiles and chuckles, and he swears he saw her chuckle and smile back, she even hugged some of them. Gosh what a new sight to see.

"This is Xiumin, my friend. He is new here so treat him well!" He heard her shout with a giggle in the middle of the street, where everyone smiled and shouted back in sync.

"Hey!"

"Hi Xiumin!"

"Omo he is so cute!" 

Xiumin blushed at the attention and found himself clinging into Sora, peeking his head from her shoulder to see properly. He saw an elderly lady take something from a rectangular machine that started hissing when she opened it, a huge, thats what he thought, square almost rectangular shaped something was handed to Sora and Xiumin was terrified, whether it was a good thing or not, Xiumin didn't know what it was but he was a little assured with Sora as she took it with a grin, bowing down to the elderly who gave her that.

Bouncing again towards him in glee, Sora outstretched one of her hands to Xiumin, who blinked at the 'thing' in her hand before taking another step, eyes locked with the wrapped sweet. Now that he thought about it, the only way Sora could hold the 'thing' without crushing the rectangular shape was by a single wooden stick that started to get wet.

Seeing that the boy took a step back, Sora took another giddy bounce towards him, still outstretching her hands for him to take the sweet. Once again Xiumin took a step back and yet once again she stepped forward in a jumpy movement, a wide grin decorated her beautiful face.

"C'mon!' It won't bite I swear. I know you have never heard of ice cream before but I did and it tastes heavenly!" Sora squealed loudly and shoved the sweet into Xiumin's chest, in which he immediately took a hold of the ice cream before it crashes, tchh that giddy girl~

Xiumin watched with wide eyes as Sora unwrapped the thing easily and immediately devoured the brown thingy inside . Xiumin was surprised by the fact the brown crust snapped inside and she happily slipped her tongue around it and ate it back.

"C'mon, eat it all! It's delicious I swear!" Sora unwrapped Xiumin's ice cream with her hands while shoving her ice cream inside , eye-smiling at the boy who seemed at daze from her gesture. He watched in awe as she easily broke the sag away from the brown sweet and handed to him with another eye-smile. 

Xiumin took the sweet slowly from her hands, giving her another unassured look that she smiled at, feeling all excited and happy that she was able to share this small piece of happiness with someone else, even though that someone was Xiumin. 

Softly, he started nibbling the ice cream with a blank face that soon morphed into a very surprised expression, a huge smile soon spreading along his face. 

"Wah.." Softly Xiumin sighed, looking down at the ice cream with a huge smile, feeling all kind of happiness inside his chest. 

"Told you would like it! C'mon, we have some place to go," 

--

Xiumin stared at the woman with a frown upon his face, wondering where the hell he saw this woman. Though he didn't know who she is, he found her kinda familiar and all he could do was tilt his head sideways to take a better look on the woman.

He saw the woman cradling a little girl as she leaned down to the floor to pick up a box, a box that is filled with stickers and has all the evident of a mail box. Xiumin could tell the woman was happy yet confused at the object, but didn't hesitate to unwrap the box with the little girl playing with its seals. 

Xiumin looked back at Sora, watching her as she observed the lady with slight anticipation, biting down her fingers in nervousness. 

Then it clicked.

Xiumin's eyes widened real big as he directed them back to the lady, who was now holding a huge unicorn plushy that made the little girl squeal loudly in happiness before hugging the daylight out of the animal plushy.

'The same nose, the same lips... And the same facial expressions.. Could it be?' Xiumin thought silently to himself while diverting his looks back to Sora with a blank look, considering all the different possibilities that rang in his mind. 

"Your mom huh..? And your.. Sister?" Sora's eyes couldn't widen any more as she stiffened, not even daring to look back at the boy who was eyeing her with a glitch of something in his eyes.

"You and Kai never spoke of the reasons of liking the humans, I can guess yours but I wonder what his reasons are.." Muttering lowly to himself, Xiumin rubbed his chin softly, still darting his eyes from the girl to the lady in front, having this slight doubt in his head.

Sora suddenly scoffed, brushing her hair out of her face arrogantly before a small smile appear on her face.

"Who is prettier..? Me or that little girl?" Xiumin scoffed back at her attempt to hide her actual feelings but couldn't help but chuckle at her dumb question.

"You were both created from the same lady, you both look the same,"

"Nonsense! My father is way more handsome than her husband!" 

"Yeah Sora whatever," Sora couldn't help but laugh softly at the annoyed expression of Xiumin before softly bumping her shoulder to him, a friendly gesture she doesn't show around him very much.

"Relax, I was just playing with you.." Xiumin grunted at her playfulness and stubbornly crossed his arms above his chest, having his squinted eyes looking elsewhere in admiration.

Now that he thinks of it, the place they stopped by was quite amazing, the blue colored house fences had caught Xiumin's eyes when they first stopped, knowing that in their part of the world there isn't anything as those safety measures. There was a small garden circling the house and Xiumin's eyes glinted at the sight. His powers might be frost but he has this deep admiration to roses and nature in general, and seeing a garden so closely made him want to touch them. 

"C'mon, now that she received her gifts, we need to go back,"

"So fast?!" Xiumin's exclaim all of a sudden really terrified her and she found herself flinching the moment those words spouted from his lips. 

"You scared the out of me!" Sora shouted back, her eyebrows meeting in the middle as she glared at the boy heatedly. Xiumin suddenly pouted, making this huge round eyes that reminded her with the same puppy his demon was shifted into. Sora pretended to grimace at the cute pout when inside she was melting at the overly cute face.

"Please take me somewhere! I'm not yet done with sightseeing,"

"Sightseeing what.. We are not in a famous place," Sora rolled her eyes, crossing her arms above her chest before starting to walk away, completely ignoring the pathetic look Xiumin gave her.

"Please please please!" Xiumin followed her with jumpy steps, desperate in making her agree to his plans.

"Nope,"

"Pleaaaaaaseeee!! I beg you!"

"I said no!"

"I'll give you everything you want I promise!"

"No no no and noooo! Do you not understand?" 

"Puh-leaaaaaaaaaseee!" Xiumin's pleads turned into an ugly cries of mercy that made everyone around turn their heads to look at them. Sora honestly received some nasty glares as if she committed a crime by making Xiumin beg, and obviously, people thought just that.

Turning around abruptly, Sora almost bumped into Xiumin who immediately stopped moving and stared at her with wide puppy eyes. He lifted his hands up and started making those cute aegyo gestures that made her stomach churn.

"Please please.. Pretty please with delicious strawberry on top?"

"Wow.. Who would have thought a royal would want something from me?"

"Oh don't think highly of yourself, I only need you as a tour guide,"

"Assface,"

"Duckface,"

"At least a duck is pretty and cute,"

"Asses are more attractive and likely to lure people in,"

"Gross.."

"You're gross," 

Growling lowly at the boy, Sora lifted her hand to pretend to hit him but she held herself when he yet again gave her another puppy look, making her weak in her knees.

"Fine, lets go to the carnival!"

"What's that?!" Xiumin asked with a cute pout, wondering what the hell is a carnival. The name was weird enough and he was oblivious of whatever name that was.

"Yes, a moving circus! People who plays with long wooden sticks with torches, monkeys bouncing over a moving rope and songs being played by a moving vehicles!" Exclaiming in pure happiness as if her bickers with Xiumin never happened, Sora smiled at him, giving two thumps up in absolute bliss that actually scared Xiumin to bits. 

Xiumin was momentarily frozen, though he was crept out, he still couldn't ignore the fact her smile is infecting as he found himself smiling back at her. Is it just him or does she looks like she is glowing? Was it because it's the human world they are in? Or was it because she is simply bipolar? Xiumin does not know the real answer, but he intended to find out as he trailed behind her softly, sneaking some hidden glances at her bouncy figure.

He did not notice the acceleration of his heartbeat.

--

"Oh! Oh! I know this song!" Xiumin exclaimed loudly the moment he and Sora stood in front of the carnival that was booming with songs and different cheers. A lot of humans were there, gathered around the moving vehicles Sora mentioned, Xiumin almost swore he saw big dolls hanging in their fronts, it truly terrified him.

"I guess Kai showed you the song before," Sora replied with a roll of her eyes as she watched the carnival, her smile returning back to her as she cheered with the humans around.

"Oh look Sora! What are those people doing!!" Ignoring her statement, Xiumin pointed out at the group of people who were gathering around in an open space where they were dancing and goofing around with each other. He had never seen anything like this before and seeing them wiggling and moving funnily made him wonder what they were doing. Of course Kai told them about their secret and how they sneak out to see the human world, but she doubts he knows what exactly they were doing.

Of course he doesn't know what dancing is.

Xiumin found himself grinning softly at the sight, watching with slightly narrowed eyebrows as women and men touched each other and moved to the rhythm. He had never seen anything before like this and couldn't help but be fascinated by the glamorous sight.

"Oh it's just dancing, I at it," softly Sora replied, looking at the place he was looking at before smiling at him. Sora had a brilliant idea inside her head all of a sudden and immediately rushed her way towards Xiumin. She took his arms in hers and dragged him towards the people dancing.

When the couples noticed a new couple suddenly joining them, they all grinned happily and started cheering for them to dance as well, showing off some of their own moves.

Sora laughed loudly while circling around herself, taking Xiumin's arms to circle them around her as she turned around into circles. Xiumin had his eyes opened wide at the gesture of hers and the sight of her hands touching his wrist made all kind of feelings to erupt in his stomach, although now he just noticed his heartbeats increasing pace. 

"What are we doing!" Xiumin had to shout for her to hear him out, and she giggled like a dork at his awkward gestures and held both of his arms, moving them to the side with a happy laugh.

"We are dancing stupid, I am not the best dancer out there but whatever! Who cares! Just wiggle!" Sora shouted back with a huge smile upon her face.

Xiumin froze for a second and was glad Sora was busy dancing like a crazy person with herself around him to notice his sudden doziness. He stared at her, eyes seeming blank but one can tell he was momentarily hypnotized by her smiles. He haven't noticed how beautiful her smiles are. The way her hair brushed against her face from her movements as she tucked it behind her ears, the way her eyes seemed to shine with an amazing gleam of happiness and bliss that seemed too foreign to be upon her face, the awkward movements she made with her body as she pulled a few kids from the sidelines and started to dance with them... They truly amazed Xiumin and felt as if he underestimated this walking beauty in her every side, whether it was her authentic perspective or her beautiful facial features; overall, she truly makes all the girls like nothing in comparison.

Where was his mind when he judged her with the rest of the boys? What was he thinking when he said she was a and an attention seeker? What was his problem with her? Really though, what is his problems with her..? She hasn't done anything bad to him, except when he annoys her but that's originally his fault, was it truly stupidity that was placed upon his chest when he mistreated her?

Unconsciously, he reached his hands to her wrist and tugged her roughly towards him, ignoring her slight giggles at the passing kids.

Sora lifted her eyes with a smile, looking at him and surprisingly ignoring the nonexistent distance between their faces. She waited for him to speak whatever he wanted, her smile disappearing softly when she saw the serious expression on his face.

"I'm.... " Xiumin could not complete, especially with the way she innocently looks at him. She was rather confused with his actions, but demanded herself to wait and see what will happen.

"I'm.. I'm really sorry Sora, for everything I did."

--

The walk home was awkward and mostly silent, Sora did not know what to do beside leaving a huge gap between them as they walked back with the slowest steps anyone can muster. After his sudden shocking apology, Sora was forced to pull out of his grip and walk away from him, a huge frown of discomfort appearing on her face. Unlike how Chanyeol apologized, she actually didn't feel scared or angry with his sudden change, she felt the exact opposite as her heartbeat increased hurriedly she could hear it in her ears, a strange feeling of comfort and discomfort at the same time had washed upon her stomach and could not help but walk away, silently thinking to herself.

Chanyeol was impulsive and didn't care about her, he usually always glares at her and use his fist to make a point. He was cold and ruthless, so forgiving him is still a big no no to her. But when Xiumin apologized, all her worries disappeared and found herself actually wanting to forgive him. He wasn't like Chanyeol, she actually doesn't know what Xiumin is like. He is usually calm around her like Lay and Suho, so she didn't think about him too much yet he apologized sincerely at her, and it made her soften greatly.

"Ms. Oh's funeral will be held any minute now, we should hurry," Xiumin said with a solemn expression and Sora felt guilty all of a sudden. She had always wondered why they didn't like her and how they hate her dearly, and now that he apologized in the needs of a better relationship, she turns it down?

When they turned around the corner in the hideout, she reached her hands for his and squeezed, actually meaning to comfort him instead of teleporting. It was when she closed her eyes to teleport back did she had the courage to say these words.

"I forgive you Xiumin, let's be better in the future,"

--

"Sehun..?" Sora softly peeked her head inside the closet with a new set of fresh clothes on. After she arrived at the other world secretly, she immediately rushed away from Xiumin with flushed cheeks and headed home, getting ready to the upcoming funeral in the Oh's property. 

She put on a soft black dress and black flats, wanting to look as simple as she could as it is a funeral and not a party, she discovered that after getting ready, Sehun was missing. It's not like she saw the whole boys to guess if he was missing or not, but they were still in school and Sehun was dismissed from each one of his classes, which meant he should be anywhere around the house, except that he wasn't.

She r
