"Hyung! Wake up!"

I felt someone shaking me and calling out to me consistently, making me groan in annoyance.

"Five more minutesss..."

"Fine. I guess you're not very eager to see me, huh Renjun-hyung~?"

My eyes shot open and I abruptly sat up after hearing that familiar voice.

"Jeno!!!!"

I leaped into his arms from where I was sitting, and hugged him tightly.

He hugged me back with his wonderful eye smile plastered on his face.

"I missed you too hyung~"

"But wait! How come you're not depressed right now?? And how come I'm not depressed anymore???"

"Oh! It's because of Namjoon-hyung~~"

He pointed towards a person beside him who had an innocent face and white hair.

"Wait. Are you the Namjoon?? One of the Seven Heroes of Emotion???!"

I asked him, and he nodded.

"My hero name is RM"

"I'M SUCH A HUGE FAN!!! IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU!!!"

"Oh, wait. Are you the Huang Renjun? The hero with the body of an angel and the powers of a demon?"

"Wow, do I really go by that title now...? Anyway, yes I am. My hero name is Villian"

"It's such an honor to meet you! My friends and I are some of your biggest supporters right now!"

"Speaking of which, where's the rest of your team?? What were their names again...?"

"Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. I don't really know for sure. I think they're back on Ethora somewhere"

"But if they're on Ethora, how'd you end up here???"

"We all saw when you and your team got separated a couple months ago. I jumped in to try and save at least one of you at the last minute. I ended up catching little Jeno, but I also ended up getting sucked into the portal with him, and we ended up here. I used my power to keep us from falling victim to this planet's depression"

"So..., his power must have something to do with happiness. Right Jeno?"

"Mhm~~~"

Jeno nodded excitedly.

"It's called Happiness Inducement. I can make anyone and anything happy, which makes it easier for me to befriend everyone and everything, even if their hostile"

"You must've really done some serious training in order to make that power stronger"

"I did~, but my team helped me too. And eventually, it got strong enough to overcome this planet's power"

"I hate to interrupt, but how do we get home?"

Jeno interrupted.

"Oh! Right! Doyoung-hyung, we need a portal please"

"Okay~"

He cheered, and soon a portal opened up right behind Namjoon, startling him.

"Great Ethora all mighty-"

"Let's go home~~"

I grabbed both of their hands and we ventured into the portal.

-

Back on Ethora

-

Namjoon agreed to stay with us until I found Mark and Donghyuck.

He wants all of us to meet his friends when we find them.

Jaemin woke up, so he and Jeno are hanging out in his room. I hung out with them for a while and gave Jeno his ring, which was similar to Jaemin's.

Chenle and Jisung are hanging out too, but for some reason, they're in my room.

I let them stay though.

Next up, I'm going to find Donghyuck.

He's on Planet Yutrade.

It's known as the planet of destruction.

It's constantly breaking apart and putting itself back together. No one knows how or why, but it just does.

It happens at completely random moments too, so I really need to hurry and save him before that happens.

-

I'm so glad that I can fly, otherwise, it would be quite difficult to get across this boiling magma pit.

I know Donghyuck can handle extremely hot temperatures, but I don't know if he can stand magma that's this hot.

I flew across the magma pit to get to the castle in the distance. Knowing Hyuck, he'd probably be in there not only because it's safe, but also because it's a cool looking castle. He'll want to feel like royalty whenever he gets the chance, especially in a place that's close to matching his heat.

I easily made it to the entrance, but there was lava flowing in front of it, separating me from the door hole.

But I easily flew over it no problem.

I ventured into the castle to find Donghyuck, but so far there's no sign of him.

On my journey to the second floor, I found a little baby dragon holding a dice.

"You must be Donghyuck's shadow dragon huh~?"

It flew into my hands with a streak of a shadowy smoke trailing behind it.

It is Hyuck's dragon~.

It must've evolved from its shadow form a while ago.

"Can you help me? I'm trying to find Donghyuck so we can go home. This planet is about to be destroyed, so I have to be quick. Do you know where he is?"

The dragon just looked up at the ceiling.

Hyuckie must be either on the next level or at the top floor.

-

I ran upstairs with the dragon in my hands, and finally came up to the top floor.

The light of the magma outside was bright enough to shine through the mosaics in the windows. But unfortunately, it was still pretty dark in the room.

The dragon tapped my thumb to get my attention, and pointed to a corner of the room in front of me.

Donghyuck was sitting in the corner with his back against the wall, curled up into a little ball.

He was crying...

I put the dragon on my head and slowly walked over to him.

I crouched down in front of him, and I could hear him muttering each of our names. But when he got to Mark's name, he just cried even harder.

I gently kissed his forehead and he jolted at my sudden action. He started rubbing his eyes and looked up at me.

He only started crying again when he saw me.

"H-Hyung!!!"

He quickly embraced me into a tight hug and cried into my shoulder.

"I-I t-thought I l-lost y-you..."

"Shhh. I'm here Hyuckie. You don't have to cry anymore-"

I heard a loud boom come from outside, reminding me of our current situation.

The volcano outside had just erupted.

"Doyoung-hyung! We need a portal asap!"

"Okay!"

A few painfully long seconds later, a portal opened up next to me.

The dragon flew onto my shoulder as I stood up, with Donghyuck still in my arms.

Before we got burned to a crisp, I ran into the portal with Hyuckie and his dragon.

-

Back on Ethora

-

Donghyuck was still crying when we got back, but Namjoon brought his happiness back.

When he calmed down, I gave him his ring and he thanked me for it.

"Where's Mark-hyung???"

"I don't know. Doyoung-hyung has to locate what planet he's on so I can go find him"

"W-Well..., let me come too! Please hyung...!"

"Don't you want to rest? You've been stranded on that planet for ages"

"I don't care...! I'll rest later! I want to help you find him hyung...!"

"...Alright, but stay close to me"

"O-Okay~"

He got up from his seat and followed me to find Doyoung.

-

Apparently, our next destination was the coldest planet in our galaxy.

Planet Aclite.

I know Mark can handle the cold temperature on this planet. My only worry is his mental state.

He nearly killed himself because he kept blaming himself for what happened to his parents. If he even once started blaming himself for what happened to us a couple months ago, I have no idea if he's still alive anymore at this point.

But, I have to hope for the best.

-

We found an ice cave and carefully ventured into it, being careful not to break the surrounding ice.

"Mark-hyung!!"

Donghyuck kept calling out to him, but didn't get an answer.

After a few minutes of running, and continuously calling his name, we finally heard a response.

"...I-In here"

It was Mark's voice, but it sounded like he was sick or something because his voice sounded extremely raspy and deep.

We followed his voice into a room we had passed by before, and in it we found Mark in a terrible predicament.

He was slowly freezing up, and every part of him, apart from his neck and head, was already frozen.

Donghyuck instantly went into a panic and ran up to him, thawing him out.

"Doyoung-hyung! We need that portal! Mark-hyung isn't doing good!"

"Okay! Coming right up! Hold on!"

Donghyuck successful melted the ice, and Mark collapsed, being caught by Hyuck just in time.

The portal opened up and I told Hyuck to bring him through. He picked him up and went for the portal, but he stopped when Mark suddenly groaned and whimpered.

"Hyuck, what's wrong??"

I walked over the him, and immediately saw the problem.

Mark was clutching his chest and was breathing heavily. Ice was freezing him from the inside out.

He was slowly freezing up, slowly dying, again...

Donghyuck started crying and ran with him into the portal, followed by me.

When we got back, Taeyong and Johnny were the main ones to ask me and Hyuck what was going on, but Hyuck answered before I could.

"H-He's dying a-again..."
