"Wow!! Time sure pass quickly! Tomorrow is our annual wizard meeting." Hee jun said as he looked at the other 3 HOT members.
"Yeah.how long have we become the wizards anyway?" Tony said as he tried to lean closer and hug Woo hyuk.
"Almost 1000 years already.maybe more than that." Woo hyuk thought for a moment but moved away quickly as he saw what Tony was trying to do.
"Yeah.way more than that! But after we reincarnate.this is our first 10th meeting in this life time." Hee jun smiled.
"I miss the old days when I was a kid, when the spirit of wizard haven't waken up yet." Kang ta said as he stared at the blue sky.
"Hey.it's not that bad.the elves do most of the work for us already! We only have to go to the annual meeting and make sure we have the environment and the elves do the things as we order them to do, then everything is under control." Hee jun patted the younger boy's back, being the Wizard of East, Hee jun always found his affection was linger with the Wizard of West-Kang Ta, and that also explain why Tony was so attracted to Woo hyuk who were the Wizard of South and North respectively. As he heard his friends were still 'playing around' his eyes automatically went to see how the other couple was doing, he chuckled as he saw Woo hyuk was struggling out from Tony, he said with a soft voice,
"Woo hyuk ah.I think it's time you show him how you feel anyway.you guys have been like this since.how long? 800 years ago?"
"No, hyung! I think it is from the beginning, ever since we met 1000 years ago, they were like this!"
Kang ta smiled as he remembered the time they first met how Tony's eyes twinkled when he first set eyes on the blue Wizard of North-Woo hyuk. At that time Tony pretend that he was just an ordinary human and got scared by Woo hyuk's magic and made Woo hyuk hugged him for hours to calm him down.
"And I am sure they will still like this if Woo hyuk keeps on denying his feelings." Kang ta leaned over Hee jun and gave him a kiss. It's his way to teased Woo hyuk, he knew Woo hyuk cared so much about Tony.umm.wait.more than just cared.love should be the more appropriate word.
"Yeah! They are right!" Tony pouted as he said, "I have been chasing after you for 1000 years already.at least tell me if I have any hope to get to you."
"The answer is NO! I think my answer is clearly shown in my actions already!" Woo hyuk said as he tried to unwrap himself from Tony's arms.
"Meanie.but it's okay.wizard won't die in thousands of years, I have lots of time to get you!" Tony stuck out his tongue. Before he let go of Woo hyuk, he gave him a big kiss on the white cheek, then he sobered up and turned to Hee jun and Kang ta, "hey.where's Jae won anyway? He better not forget about tomorrow's meeting!"
"Oh.Wonnie is back to visit his father." Kang ta answered. "I remind him about the meeting already, he said he may come a bit late, but he will sure come."
~The Next Day~
"Umm.where's my spell book?" Tony wondered around the house, but still couldn't find his book. "Well.it's just a meeting, maybe I don't need that." then he yelled, "Woo hyuk ah! Are you ready to go yet?"
"Oh.I am recording this program, it will end in about 5 minutes." Woo hyuk said.
"Umm.then I will wait for you there, okay?" Tony yelled back.
"Sure." Woo hyuk answered simply.
"With the power of the south wizard, I comment the door OPEN!" seung ho said out loud and immediately, the empty space had a door appeared in front of him and he went in.
"Hey! Anyone here yet?" Tony shouted. When there's no answer, he went to the library and looked around.
"*sigh* I wonder where my spell book is." Tony said as he tried to remember when and where he last saw it. He paced around the huge library, he touched the books, and said, "Luckily, being a wizard don't have to remember all the spells."
Suddenly something came across his mind, as he climbed up the ladder and looked for a particular spell book, "Umm.I think it should be somewhere here."
"Hey! Tony what are you doing up there?" Kang ta asked as he stepped into the library and Hee jun was behind him.
"I am looking for this book! I am looking for the spell for." Tony said and waved the book in his hand, but he got cut off as the ladder started shaking. And he felt off from the top of the shelf before he could grab anything to still himself and a whole bunch of books hit him on the body as they landed on the floor.
"Are you okay? Hyung?" Kang ta rushed to Tony and pushed away the books which was piling up on Tony.
"Yeah.I think." but before he could say he's okay, another huge book which was the same size as 3 white page together hit him on the head, and Tony lose conscious.
"Is he okay? I just left him for 5 minutes and he already made a mess of this!" Woo hyuk said as he was waiting Tony to wake up. "What is he doing anyway, how can he fell off like this?"
"I don't know.but he said he's looking for a particular spell, and he was holding this book on his hand." Kang ta said as tears were flowing down his eyes.
"Hey.don't cry! You cry too easy!" Hee jun wrapped his arms around Kang ta and kissed him softly.
"What book? He wants to read a book?" Woo hyuk asked in disbelieve.
"This is the book." Kang ta handed the book to Woo hyuk.
"Wait a minute, 'The Spell for Love and Lust'?? Why he want to read a book like this?" Woo hyuk said quietly.
"Why? But of course he wants to cast a spell on you! Well.I am not sure if he's going to cast a spell of voluptuary, but he got that page book marked." Hee jun said and he looked at Woo hyuk angrily. "It's all your fault! You should just tell him how you feel! Now see what you did to the South Wizard!"
"Me!! How is this my fault? He's the one who want to read this kind of stupid spell!" Woo hyuk argued, but when he saw Tony's hand was moving under the cover, he rushed toward him and asked, "hey.are you okay now? Does that hurt?"
"If you are that care about him, you should just tell him then none of this would happen!" Hee jun said in a mocking voice.
"Who are you?" Tony said as he opened his eyes and blinked at the three people who were surrounding him.
"He asked WHO. ARE. WE!!!" Kang ta screamed and cried even harder.
"Oh my god.who are we?" Hee jun screamed too. He turned to Woo hyuk and grabbed Woo hyuk's collar, "See what have you done!"
"I told you it's not my fault!" Woo hyuk pushed Hee jun off and sat next to Tony. "If you don't remember us.then who are you?"
"I am Tony." He then giggled and pulled at Hee jun's blonde hair and exclaimed, "so pretty.heheheh" and followed by his giggles.
The other three looked at him with horror, Woo hyuk asked again,
"Then.Tony.how old are you?"
"I am five years old!" Tony smiled and put his thumb in his mouth.
"OH MY GOD!!!" the 3 adults looked at him, as he was jumping ups and downs on the huge bed.
"Find Jae won! He's the Wizard of Middle, he controls the power of healing!" Woo hyuk shouted.
"He said he had something to do and he won't be here until this afternoon!" Kang ta who didn't know what to do just walking around Tony's room, the room of South.
"Hey.maybe if we hit him with that big book again, he will start to remember again!" Hee jun suggested.
"Not bad an idea, but what if next time he wakes up and become a 2 years old or a baby?" Woo hyuk growled.
"But.at least we should try." Kang ta said.
For the next few hours, the three of them tried everything to hit Tony with or just put some scary masks on their faces to scare the hell out of Tony. But their methods didn't really work, they only made Tony cried and cried and cried.
"Hey! Make him stop crying! He's the Wizard of South! If he keeps crying, the ice burgs in South Pole will soon start to melt and all! And the world will be covered with water!" Hee jun said and hugged Tony. "Hey.it's okay now.don't cry."
"Hey! You're a big boy! How can you cry so easily?" Woo hyuk yelled at Tony's face. Woo hyuk's cold face looked really, really scary even without a mask on.
"Wahhh.!!! Woo hyuk is bad to me! I don't want Woo hyuk!!" Tony back away from him and curdled up to Hee jun, holding his arm tight.
"Hey! He's mine!" Kang ta pushed Tony off Hee jun and said, "Go hug your Woo hyuk!"
"NO! Woo hyuk is bad to me! I don't want Woo hyuk! He scared me and he played tricks on me too!!" Tony mumbled.
"YOU.YOU.YOU.it's you who always try to chase me, hug me and kiss me! You even try to cast a stupid spell on me! And now you're blaming me that I am bad to you?! Besides, why am I the only bad one? We all play those scary tricks to you.why will I be the bad guy not them?" Woo hyuk shouted in anger. Actually he was angry from the moment he saw Tony curdled to Hee jun instead of him.
"Umm.wait.I know!" Hee jun said suddenly. "Tony still has the memory about you.how you always deny him and ignore his affection, so that's why he only remember you are bad."
"And so.what are you suggesting?" Woo hyuk asked impatiently.
"Well.why don't you hug him and kiss him? I think this will definitely be a big shock/stimulation for him.maybe that will make him remember." Hee jun smiled.
"I hug him and kiss him??" Woo hyuk's face turned beet red.
"No!! NO kiss from the monster!" Tony shouted and cried. "I like Junnie." his fingers toyed with Hee jun's blonde silky hair.
"Hey! I told you he's mine." Kang ta said but got stopped when Hee jun put a hand on his mouth,
"Not now, Taya.he's sick."
Kang ta pouted and sat next to Hee jun.
Woo hyuk walked out of Tony's room and mumbled,
"Monster? Am I really a monster? Am I really that cruel to him?"
~In the afternoon~
"Hey wonnie! You're finally here!" the three yelled to the one just step into the house of another space.
"Yeah.sorry, hyung. My dad is sick and I need to take care of him." Jae won smiled as he apologized.
"It's okay, but we have a problem here." Hee jun said and pushed Tony to Jae won.
"Wow!! You're so tall! Hehehe." Tony said when he was still sucking his thumb.
"Tony hyung?!" Jae won asked and looked at Tony.
"Tony.but not hyung!" Hee jun gave a bitter smile and explained the detail to Jae won.
"Huh?? He opened that book? Oh my god." Jae won rushed to the study and opened that spell book, "Oh no!! it's gone!"
"What's wrong? you're the Wizard of Middle, now you make him back to normal!" Woo hyuk said as he frowned.
"No.Tony hyung doesn't lose his memory because he got hit by the big book.I invented a new potion a few days ago, but it's not a success and my potion waste box was full at that time, so I put the new potion in this book. I thought you guys found your love ones already, you wouldn't read this book anyway, so I put it there and even specially marked that page.but now."
"It doesn't matter why you put it there!" Woo hyuk said angrily, "you get to heal him!"
"Hyung.I can't." Jae won said, immediately 3 pair of eyes fixed on his face. Jae won gulped hardly before he said again,
"I really can't! This is a new potion and I still don't know it's properties.I may take a few days to make the cue."
"It's okay." Tony suddenly came out from Jae won's back and hugged the slender boy and petted his head, "nice hair.I like you!" then he gave Jae won a big kiss on the cheek, making Jae won blushed like a tomato.
"Tony.stop that for a moment, we need to talk.why don't you go to your room and rest? Kang ta can you take him to his room?" Hee jun said. Kang ta nodded and left with Tony.
Woo hyuk bit his lower lip as he saw Tony disappeared from the door,
'Does he really forget about me? Do I really act so cruel to him that all he remembers is that I am a monster? He says he likes Hee jun, Kang ta and even Jae won.but not me! Not only he doesn't remember how much he loves me, but now he only get scared of me.'
"Now.what should we do?" Hee jun's question brought Woo hyuk back to the reality, he listen as he frowned.
"Nothing much.well.at least not until I make the cue." Jae won said as he started to pick out a bunch of books from the shell, looking for a right formula for the cue.
"Um.Woo hyuk ah.do you mind Tony stayed in my house for a few days then? He seems really scared by you." Hee jun said. "My parents are not here right now.and my sister is now studying in Japan so.it will be more a good place for him to stay with me."
"Why should I care?" Woo hyuk said but his eyes betrayed him, Hee jun could see jealous and anger and worry in his friend's eyes.
"Then good! He will stay with me!" Hee jun left the room and went to see how Kang ta and Tony were doing.
"Don't worry hyung! I will make the cue as soon as possible, then you can stay with Tony hyung again!" Jae won gave out a sheepish smile.
"I said I don't care! It's good he's not here.no one is going to bother me and I can finally have some time for myself!" Woo hyuk left the room but he could still hear Jae won was laughing at him in the study.
~In Hee jun's house~
"So.what do you want to do now? Would you like to take a nap?" Hee jun asked.
"Umm.will you read me a story?" Tony asked.
"Sure." Hee jun took him to the bedroom. But before Hee jun finished with his story telling, something caught Tony's attention, he turned around and asked, "Who is Moon Hoe Jun? Is he Junnie's brother?"
"No.I am the only boy in the family! Besides.where you see 'Moon Hoe Jun'?" Hee jun asked as he looked around the room.
"On the cover of the story book you're holding!" Tony pointed at the neat handwriting on the book.
"Gosh.you can't even read the characters! It's my name! It's Moon HEE Jun!" Hee jun said.
"Moon Hoe Jun." Tony repeated after Hee jun but he still didn't pronounce it right.
"It's HEE jun!" Hee jun spoke louder.
"Hue jun?" Tony spoke louder too, but.hahah.he still didn't get the right sound.
"Fine.whatever.you just call me Junnie anyway." Hee jun gave up, but he's a little upset about Tony didn't say his name right.
"Now.it's time to go to bed."
"But.I still want one more story." Tony argued.
"I will tell you after your nap, okay?" Hee jun said as he left the room.
"Now.my parents are coming home tomorrow night, I have to use the time and get this place tidy." Hee jun said as he saw the mess in the living room, he smiled wickedly as he went back to the room to get his spell book. "That's the advantage of being a Wizard."
When he got everything tidy up, he went back to see what Tony was doing. Surprisingly, Tony was really sleeping, so Hee jun went out to the market to get some food for both of them. When he came back, Tony already woke up and was reading a book.
What are you reading?" Hee jun took the book from Tony's hand. "The basic spell book? This book you read a long time ago! You can do way more than that!" he then looked at Tony and saw him sucking his thumb again, Hee jun sighed and said, "well.maybe not."
He helped Tony up and went to the kitchen for dinner.
"What are you drinking?" Tony asked after he finished his burger.
"Banana milk, you want to try?" Hee jun offered him another cartoon box, but Tony only sipped a little bit then gave it back to Hee jun.
"Not like it?" Hee jun asked and finished the other box of drink. "It's yummy!"
"Junnie likes this?" Tony asked as Hee jun wiped off the ketchup from Tony's face.
"Yeah. I like this drink a lot." Hee jun said as he put the garbage to the garbage bin.
"What should we do now? You want to take a bath?" Hee jun asked as he saw Tony was still reading the spell book.
"Nope.latter." Tony said without looking at Hee jun.
"Then I will go wash first." Hee jun picked up some clean clothes and went to the bathroom.
"Yeah.this is the right spell." Tony stood up and found that Hee jun was not there and he decided to give Hee jun a surprise. He stood up and said loudly toward the bathroom.
"Yummy banana milk, I want tons and tons to fill! Hee jun wants to have a thrill!"
And just a second after the spell was finished, there's a loud noise from the bathroom and followed by Hee jun's screams,
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Inside the bathroom, the whole space was filled with banana milk and Hee jun was actually swimming on the sticky liquid. He finally managed to grab the door knob and open the door. Once the door was opened, the yellowish liquid rushed out from the bathroom all over to the whole house.
"Yeah! I get the right spell!" Tony cheered for himself even thought he didn't really like the taste of that sticky thing.
"What have you done?!" Hee jun rushed toward the living room and grabbed the spell book from Tony's hand, he's afraid Tony would cast another spell and make a bigger disaster.
"Since when can you pronounce my name right?" Hee jun growled as he looked at the spell.
"Hehehehe.aren't you proud of me?" Tony asked and hugged Hee jun.
"Well.I will be really proud of you if you reverse it!" Hee jun said. He sighed and felt hopeless since one wizard couldn't break the spell that was cast by another wizard, so Tony was his only hope, otherwise, he would have to clean the whole house again.
"But.don't you like this drink?" Tony asked innocently.
"Yeah.but I want the house be clean too!" Hee jun's patience was running really low by now. "Now! Reverse the spell!"
"Okay." Tony pouted and took the book to see where the reverse spell was.
"Clean that up.lazy meanie.make it funky! Hoe jun tidy!" Tony said the words loud, but this time.nothing happened.
"You said my name wrong again! Now try one more time! I want the house clean!" Hee jun shouted.
"Oh.okay." Tony felt really upset that Hee jun was yelling at him, he tired one more time,
"Clean that up.lazy meanie.make it funky! Hue jun tidy!"
But.still nothing happened, Hee jun sighed,
"Fine.I guess.it's just by chance that you say my name right."
He took another spell book out, trying to clean his house again, but then he noticed there's something at the margin of the book, saying that,
"The cleaning spell can only be used once a day."
"TONY!!! YOU MONKEY!!! I AM DEFINITELY SO GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" Hee jun said and without thinking, his hand fisted up and hit Tony on the head.
"WAHHHH!!!" hit by Hee jun, Tony started to cry and before Hee jun could calm down and say he was sorry, Tony already disappeared.
"Where that monkey go?" Hee jun asked, but he was sure that Tony would be safe since he smell the power of South escaped from the window.and from the instinct of the wizard, he knew that Tony must be really scared that he only wanted to leave without really thinking where to go.
"Gosh.that stupid monkey!" Hee jun said, then he concentrated, "The wind from the East, tell me where this smell goes!"
A breeze came toward Hee jun's ear, and Hee jun smiled,
"Well.it's good, he went to Kang ta's place.Kang ta is the most patient one among us."
~In Kang ta's room~
"zzZZzzZZzzZZzz.." Kang ta who was tired from the meeting was already sound asleep on his bed. Suddenly something heavy was dropped on his feet, Kang ta woke up from the sudden pain.
"What the heck." he turned on the light and saw a crying Tony was sitting on his bed. He quickly moved Tony to the side of the bed and then rubbed at his sore feet as he asked,
"What's wrong hyung? I thought you're staying with Hee jun hyung."
"WAHHHH!!!" more tears came out from Tony's ear.
"*sigh* I guess you can stay here till next morning." Kang ta said as he petted Tony's back, trying to comfort him. Suddenly, a strong wind came into the room and went straightly to Kang ta and surrounded him. After a while, the wind which was the messenger form Hee jun disappeared and Kang ta just smiled,
"Oh.no wonder you're here.you did hella good job to get Hee jun mad! Anyway.don't cry now.let's go to sleep."
"Thank.you.Taya." Tony managed to say thanks to Kang ta between his sobs.
"It's okay." Kang ta said, he quickly took Tony to the bathroom and cleaned him up and put some clean clothes on him.
"Now.quiet down.my parents are all sleeping by now.I don't want them to wake up, okay?" Kang ta asked and pulled the cover over him and Tony before he switched off the light.
~The next morning~
"*yawn*.Tony hyung?" Kang ta woke up but Tony was not sleeping by his side.
"Tony hyung?" Kang ta went to the bathroom and saw Tony was washing something in the sink, he went there and screamed,
"YOU! YOU! YOU! How can you do this?!"
Inside the sink, was Kang ta's Wizard certificate. He got that 1000 years ago when he graduated Wizard College and it was given to him by the pervious Wizard of the West.
"How do you find it? I store it in somewhere.and I even put a protective force on it!" Kang ta shouted.
"Well.you put it behind the picture frame. Since I wake up, I looked at all the picture frames you hung on the wall, and when I adjusted one, this thing fall off.I picked it up and all I saw was just an old paper! Besides.there's no force around.I do feel a little static electricity when I hold it though." Tony said sheepishly.
"Oh my god.I forgot the force had expired.but.even you find it doesn't mean you have to draw something on it! Look at my certificate! You draw those stupid flowers and house and even a sun on it! What the hell are you thinking?" Kang ta yelled. "Do you know it's something pass to me by the pervious Wizard? I carefully protect it for 1000 years already.and now.you.you.you!" angrily, Kang ta hit seung ho's head with his fist.
"WAHHHH!!!" Tony was crying again, his big drops of tears fell down his cheeks. Not only he cried because Kang ta hit him on the head, but also he did something bad to his friend and made him upset.
'Why am I so stupid? I not only make Hee jun angry, but now Kang ta too!!'
Assuming that Kang ta wouldn't want to see him again, a flash of light covered Tony's body and a second later.Tony disappeared.
"Gosh.he's not good at spell, but his own power sure increases quite a lot lately, he even has enough power to space travel twice within one day." Kang ta said as he looked at his dirty certificate helplessly. "Where does he go this time.must be with Jae won.since he's not stupid enough to go back to Hee jun hyung.and he's still afraid of Woo hyuk."
"I demand the West dragon!" Kang ta shouted loudly to the air. And in a short while, something was knocking at Kang ta's window. Kang ta opened the window and the enormous green colored, flying dragon was there, greeting his master, by licking him.
"Hahahah.stop it, you sweet little thing, we have things to do! Please go to the Wizard of Middle, and tell him to be careful of Tony. He's not recovered yet, but his power has increased dramatically, and don't let him touch anything in the house."
Now dropping at Jae won's house, Tony's head already had two big lumps on it.
The Wizards 2
Seeing Jae won was not in the bed, Tony went to see where his dongseng was. When he passed the kitchen the smell of food made him stop and he realized how hungry he was.
"Well.I am sure.Wonnie won't mind if I share some of his food." Tony mumbled to himself as he sat down and stuffed the food into his mouth.
"Oh hyung! You're finally here! You take a bit longer to get here than I expected." Jae won said when he came out of the bathroom and saw Tony was eating his breakfast. "Well.hyung.I don't mind you to eat, but can you at least not being such a messy eater?" He looked at Tony and saw the jam all over his face and clothes. "But then, I guess most five years old kids are messy eaters.you're no exception!"
"You know I will be here? Why?" Tony asked, the bread crumbs flied all over the table.
Jae won shook his head and got a damp towel to clean the table as he said,
"Yeah, Taya hyung's pet dragon came here a few minutes ago." and then he got a napkin and cleaned Tony's face as he said, "are you still hungry? Do you want some more?"
"Nah.I am okay. Thanks for the breakfast." Tony smiled sweetly to Jae won and gave him a big hug.
While Jae won was cleaning the dishes, Tony was watching cartoon in the living room. He turned around and asked Jae won,
"Wonnie ah.can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?" Jae won turned around and asked.
"Do I have a messenger too?" Tony asked.
"Sure, all wizards have their own messengers." Jae won smiled as he dried his hand and sat next to Tony.
"Hee jun hyung has a fire bull, I have a phoenix, Taya hyung has a dragon and Woo hyuk hyung has a unicorn. You have thunder and lightning!"
"Thunder? Why you all have some kind of animals while I only have thunder and lightning?" Tony pouted. He wanted to have those wonderful animals as messengers as the others.
"Well.because.South Pole is very, very cold and no animal is available to stay in such low temperature." Jae won explained. "Besides.don't be upset hyung. Among all of us, your messenger is the fastest!"
Really? And how do I call for the messenger?" Tony asked excitedly.
"Well.just concentrate and ask for it, it will come to you in no time!" Jae won said. He twisted his head to look at the clock and he said,
"Tony hyung, I have school this afternoon. It's just 2 classes, so I will be back in a couple of hours. You will stay here for a while since I am the one who will take charge of healing you."
"Alright, have a good day in school. I will be good here!" Tony smiled and waved good bye to Jae won.
After locking the door, Jae won was still not sure Tony and his house would be safe so he put a spell on the door and windows, made sure that Tony couldn't leave the house.
"Tie everything up without using a hand, make sure Tony couldn't move a strand!"
~Inside the house~
"Well.it's only me here.should I take a nap?" Tony walked to the window and looked down. He saw a bunch of kids were playing at the playground, he also wanted to play, but when he was about to leave, the door wouldn't open and a slight electricity went through his body as he heard Jae won's voice came out from no where.
"Hyung! You promise you will be good! So stay in the house as you promise!"
"But.Wonnie, I want to play." Tony murmured as he sat back down on the couch.
"Well.maybe I can send my messenger to Jae won and ask him to let me go out for a while."
"I ask for my messenger." Tony said but nothing happened.
"Hey! I said I ask for the thunder! I demand you to come here right now!" Tony shouted. And the next second a loud BOMP was heard and then a black cloud was above the building, a lightning came out of the black cloud, struck through the window and went straight to Tony
"Well.I guess that's the sign my messenger is here, right? Anyway, please go find Jae won and ask him to let me out! Thank you."
~In Jae won's school~
"It's going to rain soon." the one who sat by the window said.
"And my dear student.You know.I will be more please if you said, 'it's going to start a new chapter soon.' then those nonsense! Besides, what's the rain has to do with my lecture?" the professor asked the daydreaming student. The whole class laughed at that poor guy.
"Oh.nothing. Nothing at all, sir." The young man said immediately, his face turned bright red from the embarrassment.
Suddenly, a loud thunder broke the laughter and everyone quiet down.
"Excuse me sir.can I got to the bathroom?" Jae won stood up and before he got the permission form the teacher, he headed straight out the classroom and searched for an empty classroom.
"Okay.this room is empty." He went in and opened the window as he said, "what is it?"
The lightning stroke into the room, almost hit Jae won as it left the message on the floor.
"Okay.I got it. And please.be careful next time! I am not used to lightning and I don't know how to handle it! You almost strike me and make me into a charcoal!"
Went back home as quick as he could, the Wizard of Middle found Tony was in the living room, but there must be something wrong with him since he saw Tony was frowning.
"What's wrong hyung?" Jae won asked as he sat next to Tony.
"I don't know.the remote is not working!" Tony said and gave the little gadget to Jae won.
".." Jae won took the thing and checked the battery, then he said, "well.the battery is good, it should be working." he walked to the TV and a smell of burnt came to his nose. He touched the on and off button of the TV, but just like he expected, it's not the remote's problem, it's the TV! The thing was burnt.
"Hyung, you asked your messenger to come here.didn't you?" Jae won asked.
"Umm.kind of.I asked once, but there's no sign of it, so I asked again then the lightning came right through the window!" Tony said, putting his thumb into his mouth.
"Now.that explain everything." Jae won looked at the broken window and sighed, he really wanted to scold Tony for making a mess in his house, but he couldn't! He was after all had to take the response for putting the potion in that book and caused Tony to become like this. He then went to check other electronic device, fortunately, only the ones in the living room's were not working, others were okay. Then he came back to Tony and said,
"You know.the messenger has a keen side of hearing us, you don't have to ask so many times.and even you don't see them.they will be here, you just need to tell it what is your message and everything will be fine."
"Oh.okay. I will remember this." Tony smiled. "Now.you are here, can I go out and play?"
"NO! I have to cue you first!" Jae won said and took out piles of books from his room and started to put different spells on Tony, but none of that seemed really working.well.one of the spell did make Tony to be his old self, but the spell also turned Tony to be a monkey.
"Not funny! Jae won! How am I suppose to see Woo hyuk with this body?" Tony asked as he tapped his foot.
"Well.since now you remember everything, do you think you can use your own spell/power to change back to your old body?" Jae won asked as he pulled at Tony's tail.
"Hey! That hurt!" Tony shoved off Jae won's hand and said. "I will try to see if I can change back."
"Old self.old body.nothing nasty, but the good old Tony!" and a red light surrounded the monkey's body. When the light disappeared, the monkey disappeared too, but this time, Tony became a frog!
"Oh.my god! What happened?! How come I am a frog right now? Gosh.must be our spells overlap." Tony said.
"But.do you think if Woo hyuk kisses you, you will back to normal again?" Jae won asked playfully.
"He won't kiss me.he never kiss me and I am sure he won't as he sees me as a frog." Tony said sadly.
"At least we should try! This maybe your first kiss from him!" Jae won smiled as he was about to dial Woo hyuk's phone number.
A fly flied into the house and Tony quickly stuck out his long tongue and ate the fly instinctively, leaving Jae won stared at him with wide eyes.
"Don't look at me like this! It's the frog's instinct! I don't want to eat that either! Quickly reverse the spell! Eating fly is disgusting! And I don't want Woo hyuk to kiss me like this.I have fly breath!" Tony said as he pouted, making a big air bubble in his throat.
After reversing all the spells, Tony.well.Tony went back to the stage as a five years old kid again.
"Well.I tried most of the spells already, maybe I can make another potion as the cue." Jae won looked at Tony who was fast asleep on the couch. He went to the attic and pulled the good old metal pot out and started to make potions. He first put a bunch of herbs in the pot and after letting the thing simmered for an hour, he put the other stuffs into the pot,
"Let's see.3 eyes of newt, 2 wings of bat, the legs of spider."
The awful smell quickly filled the whole house and woke the sleeping Tony as Jae won came to him with a bowl of that disgusting liquid.
"Come on hyung! I promise this will make you feel better!" Jae won said.
"How can that makes me feel better when just smelling it makes me sick already!" Tony said and buried his face on the cushion.
"I will give you a lollipop after you drink it!" Jae won tried to bribe Tony into it.
"NO!" Tony shouted.
"Well.actually, you don't have a choice!" Jae won clapped his hands and the two pots of ivy extended their branches and wrapped around Tony's wrists, making him to sit up straight on the couch.
"Now, open your mouth! If you don't.the plants' leaves will tickle you and you may choke on the medicine.well.it will be awful to choke on it, don't you think?" Jae won asked.
"Fine." Tony slowly opened his mouth and drank the smelly liquid down.
"Good, now you can have the lollipop." Jae won smiled and gave Tony the candy.
~At the same time~
Hee jun and Kang ta gave a call to Woo hyuk, told him about what happened last night and now Tony was in Jae won's house.
"Hey Hyukie, would you like to go visit Tony with us?" Hee jun asked.
"Why should I go visit him?" Woo hyuk asked. Actually, he was all prepared to visit Tony, but when he heard his friend asked him, he pretended he's not interested at all.
"Come on.who's the one who's so worry and rushed toward Tony's bed when he just moved a finger? You couldn't deny that.we saw that together!" Hee jun said, he wondered how long the stubborn wizard could hold his feelings.
"Well.that doesn't mean anything! If you guys get hurt, I will worry too!" Woo hyuk argued.
"Then.you're not going?" Kang ta asked.
".You guys go first, I will be there later." Woo hyuk said and hung up the phone.
~Later in Jae won's house~
"Hey, Wonnie! Are you done with the cue?" the two wizards asked as they got into Jae won's place.
"Well.in one way, it is." Jae won said with a frown.
"Then where is he now?" Hee jun asked.
"He gets tired and is now sleeping in my room." Jae won said as he led his hyungs to the living room.
"What do you mean 'in one way, he is'??" Hee jun asked after he sat on the couch.
"Well.he's almost the good old Tony, but he forget something.the most important thing in his life." Jae won said.
"You don't mean." Kang ta asked in a trembling voice.
"Yeah.he forgets all about Woo hyuk hyung!" Jae won said, but little that he knew Woo hyuk just arrived his house and overheard the conversation...
"He.he.he has forgotten me? After 1000 of years chasing after me, declaring his endless love to me, he now forgot all this? How can that be?" Woo hyuk gasped as he felt the pain in his heart. He quietly walked to the bedroom and saw Tony was sleeping peacefully on the bed, he sat beside the bed and looked at Tony, a single tear fell down his soft white cheek and woke up the sleeping beauty.
".." Opening his eyes slowly, Tony saw someone was crying, he sat up and asked,"Who are you? Why are you crying?"
The other 3 in the living room heard Tony's voice and rushed to the bedroom and saw Woo hyuk was there.
"Well.Tony, do you remember who he is?" Jae won asked.
"Not a clue!" Tony shrugged.
"He is the Wizard of North!" Kang ta said, he was about to cry when he saw the depress expression on Woo hyuk's face.
"Oh.so you are the Wizard of North!" Tony extended his hand to Woo hyuk, "Well.I don't remember seeing you before, but anyway, nice to meet you and let's be friend!"
Woo hyuk looked at Tony's hand and he shook his hand, he could feel the warmth coming out from Tony's palm, but something was different from the old way he touched his hand. Woo hyuk felt his heart was like falling in a bottomless pit, as he thought about those old time when he and Tony were together,
'I miss that.we never shake hands like this before.but your hands are always around me, hugging me, touching my face and you always cuddle around me.I miss all that! I don't want to just be your friend! I want everything back to the way it was.I want to be your love.I promise, if I get a chance to get your love back, I will tell you how much I really love you.I swear. You have no idea how much I regretted not telling you and return your love when you were by my side.'
"Hey.do you mind?" Tony slightly shook his hand, signaling Woo hyuk to let go his hand.
"Oh.I am sorry." Woo hyuk reluctantly pull his hand back and looked at Tony,
"Are you going to stay with Jae won for a while?"
"Yeah, but I heard from him.we're roommates, maybe when I feel better, I will go back to our house. I don't want to trouble him too much!" Tony smiled and lay back down on the bed.
Woo hyuk pulled the cover up to Tony's shoulder and before he left the room, he decided to give it one more try as he leaned forward,
'well.maybe those old fairy tale will work in some way.'
his lips were about to Tony's.
"Hey! No! Jae won help!" Tony shouted
"I am sorry.I got carry away, you looked like someone I love.don't be scare of me." Woo hyuk looked at Tony, his voice was shaking. "I am sorry.but why are you calling Jae won?"
"I don't know.when you try to.um.try to kiss me." Tony's face turned red from the embarrassment. "There's someone's image flashed in my mind.that person has very white and he seemed very upset when you kiss me, I guess that's Jae won.I must be his lover before I lose my memory."
'God! He remembers me, that white image is me! My image is still in his head.he didn't forget completely!' Woo hyuk thought. Then he said quietly,
"But.I am white too.how do you know it's not me?"
"If I really love you or if you really love me, I would remember, don't you think? Why I only don't remember you? There must be something wrong between you and me." Tony said matter-of-factly. "But.let's forget about those, I will try to be your friend from now on."
'But.is he really trying to forget me? Because I keep ignoring him, so he thinks it maybe the time to give up? Will that be the reason he's locking his memory up?'
Ignoring the pain in his heart, Woo hyuk could only nod,
"Thanks.I guess. I should leave now, you get some rest." He pulled the cover up to his shoulder before he left the room and joined the other 3 in the living room.
"Well." the other 3 looked up as they heard Woo hyuk was coming out from the room.
"Do you want us to call cupid? I think he can help you." Kang ta asked.
"Yeah, he takes care of the love problems." Hee jun agreed.
"Nah.if he wants to remember me, he will.somedays." Woo hyuk said quietly. "He still has the memory of me.in some way."
~The Next Day~
"I still think you should tell him first." Kang ta said.
"Well.he won't come if he knows it!" Hee jun said.
"So do you want my help or not?" the little winged kid asked as he aimed the arrow.
"Of course! Why would we ask you here if we don't want your help? Later, when Jae won comes in, he will let Woo hyuk to get in first, then you shoot the arrow to Woo hyuk and Tony, okay?" Hee jun asked cupid.
"I know! You said that a million times already! Besides, I know the Wizard of North too, how will I make a mistake?" the annoyed kid flied away from Hee jun and sat next to Kang ta.
~.~.~.~.~
"Wow! Hyung! You bring these for Tony hyung?" Jae won screamed.
Woo hyuk nodded and was about to walk into the house with Jae won. But before they walked in, Jae won's father came out from the elevator and said,
"Wonnie ah.you forgot your locker keys in my house a couple days ago. Here be careful, don't lose it!"
"Oh thanks dad! You come all the way to give me the key?" Jae won asked.
"Yeah. I am leaving now." Mr. Lee smiled but before he left, he turned around and said,
"Wonnie, I think I need to use the bathroom."
Woo hyuk stood aside and let Mr. Lee to go in first.
"Don't go in!" Jae won yelled but it's too late, Mr. Lee already rushed into the house. Jae won covered his eyes, afraid that Tony would be hugging or even kissing his dad.
"Hey, no worry! I know who's the Wizard of North, I won't shot carelessly." A voice came to Jae won's ear.
Jae won turned around and said,
"Well.could you please stay invisible for a while, I will let Woo hyuk hyung go into Tony hyung's room then you can do your job when they were inside."
"Sure, but be quick, I have other things to do too!" cupid smiled and waited to get in there.
~In the room~
"Oh thanks! They are so pretty!" Tony said.
"Yes, they are." Woo hyuk smiled and blushed the hair off Tony's face. Then he said something almost inaudible, "but not as pretty as you."
"They are soo cold!" Tony touched the roses, they were not like ordinary roses, they were covered by a layer of ice crystal, which made them sparkled under sunlight.
Of course. They are the crystal roses from North Pole.only you and me can touch these without getting ice burn." Woo hyuk smiled.
"Why are you giving me these? Most of the time, only lovers give each other flowers, you know." Tony said as he touched the rose petals.
"Then." Woo hyuk gathered his courage and asked, "would you be my lover?"
"No! I love Jae won only. My love will never change! He's a perfect lover.so cute, loving and gentle!" Tony smiled and he suddenly took Woo hyuk's hands into his and said,
"Thanks for picking those for me anyway.You must be feeling cold when you get them.let me warm you up a bit."
The cupid thought that was the right moment to shoot the arrow, but little that he knew Jae won was walking into the room as well.
"Woo hyuk hyung! You have a call from your mom!" Jae won took the phone and walked in to the room. And at the same time, one arrow flied toward Tony; the other one, which suppose to go to Woo hyuk was now on Jae won. Jae won saw the arrow and he quickly pulled it out.since the arrow didn't stay in his body more than 5 seconds he didn't fall in love with Tony, but it's too later for Tony, he already fell in love with Jae won when set his eyes on him.
"OH Wonnie! You're here! I love you!" Tony said, as he jumped out of bed and hugged Jae won tightly; letting his whole body hanging over Jae won.
Woo hyuk's nightmare now became the reality, Tony really fell in love with Jae won!
The 3 Wizards froze right at that moment.
Woo Hyuk was too shock to say anything as he saw his love was hugging someone else.Tony was too immersed in that moment when he could feel Jae won so close to him.
Jae won was trying to pry out from Tony's tight hold.
The cupid quickly left the room and was about to leave.
"Hey! Wait! Did you get that done?" Hee jun asked as he grabbed the cupid.
"Sort of." the winged kid said and struggled from Hee jun.
"What do you mean by sort of?" Kang ta asked.
"Well.you will see later. Now let go! If the Wizard of North gets his hands on me, I will be one 'Frozen Cupid Available In You Own Freezer'!!" Cupid said the famous line from a frozen dinner advertisement, but only change the name of that dish into his own name.
The other two wizards seemed to be confused but they let the winged kid go anyway.
"Now.what should we do?" Hee jun asked.
"Well.we'll see how they do in there first." Kang ta said as he walked into Tony's room.
"Why is he sleeping?" they asked.
"He's not sleeping." Jae won said, his face was in a deep shade of red. "Tony.well.hyung was trying to rape me.so I hit him on the head.so now he lose conscious."
"What happened?" the two asked.
"Well.cupid shoot the arrows on me and Tony instead of Woo hyuk." Jae won said as he saw Woo hyuk was holding Tony's body.
"Maybe we can go to Venus, maybe she will know how to break the power of the arrows." Hee jun said.
".." Woo hyuk said nothing, his hand was touching Tony's soft hair then he turned around, with his eyes narrowed he asked,
"Why there are 3 big lumps on my monkey's head?"
"Well.I.ah.we hit him.we don't do it on purpose." Kang ta said.
"That's not the time to say this right now, let's go to see Venus." Hee jun said.
"You guys stay here! I know you try to help, but you only hurt Tony or just make a mess.so stay here." Woo hyuk said and then he turned to Jae won, "Don't touch him.or you know what will happen!" Woo hyuk pointed at a glass of water and the liquid immediately turned into solid.
"We understand." the three gulped.
~In Venus's Castle~
"Well.I don't know." Venus said down on the coral chair. "Why are you so worry all a sudden?" She took out the book from the shelf and said, "according to my book.the Wizard of South has been after you for 1000 years already, if you don't like him at all.this should be a good chance for you to get rid of him, am I right?"
"NO! I.I just hide my feelings.I want him back.I want him to remember me again!" Woo hyuk said desperately.
"You know.everything is fate.maybe this love was not meant to be.never meant to be." Venus said with a gentle smile touched her lips. "Maybe you should just forget about it."
"Please.I will do anything for him.please." Woo hyuk asked.
"I don't really have that spell to reverse the power of my son's arrows. But I do know.the memory of true love won't fate away within 3 days.find something that will bring back his memory of you.that may help." Venus said then disappeared, leaving Woo hyuk in the huge living room.
~In Woo hyuk's room~
"What should I get him to bring back his memory?" Woo hyuk asked himself.
"The blue crystal rose!" he screamed and jumped up from the couch. "I don't have any time left, I have to get that as quick as I can!"
~In Jae won's place~
"Hyung.are you sure? I mean.you know the south garden.snow beasts are guarding that place.even Tony hyung wouldn't bother get to there because of all those troubles." Jae won said.
"I know.but this is his first gift to me.I think that will be the most affectable thing to bring back his memory." Woo hyuk said. "The one he gave me.I put it in the attic of North Pole, even I am the North Wizard, I can't open that door right now.all I can do is go to the South Pole and get that rose!"
"You kept that rose for that long? Getting that rose was Tony hyung's last test before he could become a wizard! We thought you threw that away a long time already." Kang ta said.
"I never threw that away.he told me that when he was doing that test, he could not use any magic so he tried very hard to get it. And he did it, he got that all by his own will power.and he gave it to me." Woo hyuk bite his lower lip.
"Well then, good luck!" the three wizards said as they saw Woo hyuk disappeared.
~In South Pole~
"Who are you to be here in the castle of the South Wizard?" a voice came out from the castle.
"I am the North Wizard. And I come here to get the blue crystal rose!" Woo hyuk said.
"My master, the South Wizard is the only one who can get his hand on those roses! Even you are the North Wizard, it's not available for you! Besides.you know South Pole is much colder than North Pole, you won't survive when you get to the south garden! And you do know when you get there, no magic or spell can be cast, you have to use your own power to conquered that!" the voice gave Woo hyuk advice.
"I know and I will get what I want!" Woo hyuk shouted and started his journey to the south garden.
Walking to the center of South Pole where the south garden was, it already took Woo hyuk half a day.
"Well.the snow beasts are sleeping except one." Woo hyuk quickly took out his sward and cut through the beast's throat, before he did that he tied the beast's mouth so it couldn't growl or make any noise. He went straight into the garden and picked the rose, but when he left the garden, he stepped on a rock and woke up the other beasts.
"OH god.there's almost 10 of them! What should I do?" Woo hyuk held his sward tighter, when he was killing the beast in front of him, he didn't notice there's also one behind his back, and that beast's sharp claws sank into Woo hyuk's back.
Seeing Woo hyuk stayed still for a long while, the beasts thought that Woo hyuk was dead, so they went back to sleep.
"I have to go back now.I have to." Woo hyuk struggled out from the snow and because he lost too much blood, his movement was really slow. And with the cold weather around him, it was really difficult for him to leave the south garden like this.
"I felt sleepy.maybe I should take a nap." Woo hyuk lied on the snow, his eyes were getting heavier and heavier. He had a dream, as he saw Tony waved goodbye to him and then turned around to hug Jae won and they were so happy together.
"No.I can't take a nap.I don't have much time left.I have to go back." slowly, he clawed on the snow and went back to Tony's castle which was the nearest place he could use magic.
"Ahh.I am amazed! You really get the rose.but look at your hands! Hahhah." the voice came out again.
"My hands?" Woo hyuk looked down, and he realized that his hands were already frozen by the icy cold flower.
"But how? I picked the crystal rose in North Pole but that never happened."
"I told you.it's South Pole here! The rose is much, much colder! You can't touch that with bare hand even you're the North Wizard! Now.if you give me the rose, in exchange I will give you the cue for your hands."
"Never!" Woo hyuk shouted, but after staying in such cold weather so long and lost lots of blood, all the strength he had left was just enough to hold the rose tightly as his body helplessly fell on the snow. He mumbled,
"Tony.I am sorry.I never tell you how much I love you until it's too late.I promise.when I re-born again, I will never ignore you. I will love you with all I have." a tear flowed down his cheek and touched the rose petal, and then he lost conscious. Suddenly gold and silver light surrounded him and lifted him up gently.
~.~.~.~.~
"Hey! Woo hyuk hyung, wake up! It will be 3 days exactly in half an hour, please wake up!" Jae won said.
"Wonnie? I am not dead?" Woo hyuk asked and struggled to sit up. He looked at his hands, he could feel them again.
"I don't know.you just come back with a circle of light engulfed you." Hee jun said. "Don't worry, you're not dead, even you lost lots of blood. Jae won already made some medicine for you. You will feel better in no time. Now go see Tony before it's too late!"
Holding the rose in his hand, Woo hyuk rushed toward Tony's room and he sat next to Tony and gave the rose to Tony,
"Do you remember this? The rose you gave me 1000 years ago.I specially went to the south garden to get you this.please.please.try to remember."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Jae won are you there?" Tony said and threw the rose on the floor.
'Now.I know how's that feel when someone you love ignore and deny you.I am sorry Tony, I make you go through all these.'
Woo hyuk picked up the rose, he pulled one petal off and put it in his mouth and quickly he pressed his lips on Tony's.
"What the." Tony tried to say something, as he opened his mouth, his tongue touched with Woo hyuk's and he could taste the rose petal, it was melting in their mouths. A sudden dizziness enveloped him, and when he opened his eyes, a single red tear flowed down his face.
"Woo hyuk! It's you!" Tony said as he hugged Woo hyuk closer, "you know what, I have the worst dream! I dreamt that you were almost killed by the snow breasts and I was in love with Jae won.oh thanks god, it's only a dream!"
"Yeah.it's only a dream." Woo hyuk said, his arms wrapped around Tony protectively.
Aware of Woo hyuk's sudden affection, Tony lifted up his head and looked at Woo hyuk with a questioning glare.
"You know.there's something I need to tell you." Woo hyuk said as he took a deep breath, taking Tony's scent into his body.
"What is it?" Tony asked.
"Something that's really simple, but it's so important.and I should tell you a long, long time ago." he leaned closer to Tony and before he close the gap between their lips for a passionate kiss, he mumbled,
"I LOVE YOU."
