The boy runs deep into the forest. He didn't even stop to catch his breath, just keeps running, until he trips on a small rock causes him to fall forwards. Head first on the ground. He wants to stand up but he hurts himself badly. He closes his eyes.

The boy feels that someone or something is carrying him but tiredness overcomes him, he fell asleep instead of opening his eyes.

Yeonjun wriggles in his sleep, he feels soft foam on his face. His face is always on the pillow when he sleeps. He sits up and rubs his eyes.

He saw four people staring at him creepily. Which made him jump.

"Sorry for scaring you."

"Uh. I-It's fine."

"Taehyun-ah! Stop staring at him like that!"

"Sorry, Beomgyu-hyung. I always stare like this," Taehyun said.

"Yah! Stop fighting!"

"We're not fighting, hyung!" Beomgyu and Taehyun said

"How dare you talk back at me?"

"I'm sorry for the commotion back there. My name is Huening Kai, and you are?"

"Choi Yeonjun," the boy replied. "Who are those people or something?"

"For your information, I'm a human," Soobin said.

"No you're not," Beomgyu whispered to Taehyun and they both chuckled.

"Yah! I heard that!" Soobin shouted.

"Heard what?" Beomgyu asked. "Hey Taehyun. Did you hear anything?"

"Nope, haven't heard anything," Taehyun smiled at Soobin.

"But-ugh-nevermind," Soobin said and faced Yeonjun, "Sorry 'bout that. My name is Choi Soobin."

"Choi Beomgyu."

"Kang Taehyun."

"May I ask a question?" Yeonjun asked.

Huening Kai opens his mouth to say a word but was interrupted by Beomgyu, "You just asked a question," he joked.

Soobin gave him a death glare.

"Oops. Sorry," Beomgyu apologized.

Yeonjun laughed.

"Ask the question, Yeonjun-hyung," Huening Kai said.

Yeonjun stopped laughing to wipe his tears and ask a question, "Why are you guys looking like that?"

Smiles disappear from their faces and the cheerful household turned into an awkward silence. Soobin looking at the ceiling and Beomgyu and Taehyun are playing with their hands while Hurning Kai is biting his nails.

"Why are you guys acting strange? Is there something wrong that I said?" Yeonjun asked then realized his mistake. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry."

"No, no. It's fine," Soobin said.

"But why did your smiles disappeared from your faces?"

"Well... funny story-," Beomgyu started.

"We are cursed!" Taehyun blurted out.

"Cursed?"

They all nodded.

"How? And why?"

"Do you remember 'The "Tale" of the Four Stars'?" Huening Kai asked Yeonjun, doing the apostrophe sign with his two fingers in each hand.

Yeonjun nodded, "I just read that yesterday night."

"We are actually the four stars," Soobin said, "Yeah."

Yeonjun gasps, "How did you guys survived from the big star that fell on top of your heads?"

"We were saved by someone and somehow that curse, is in us when we woke up. We didn't know how did the curse was passed by us and who is the person that saved us. We just stayed in the woods, built a shelter and call this forest our home," Soobin said. "And NEVER EVER show our faces in the public again."

Suddenly m, Yeonjun felt a pain on his head. "AHH! My head hurts!" He shouts.

"Yeonjun-hyung! Are you okay?" Taehyun asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Yeonjun said. After the pain went away, he massages his head.

"I love your horns, hyung," Huening Kai praised, "they're beautiful."

"No, it isn't, Huenung Kai," Yeonjun said. Touching the horns wanting to break them.

"No!" Soobin said, slapping Yeonjun's hand from the horns. "They are part of you now, hyung."

"Accept it hyung," Beomgyu said.

"Yeah, just like I accept my wings," Huening Kai said, showing his wings to Yeonjun.

"My star eye," Taehyun said, pointing at his eye.

"Thorns on my shoulder," Beomgyu said, touching the thorns.

"And my elf ears," Soobin said.

Yeonjun smiled at them and trying to follow their advices. Minutes, hours and days pass, Yeonjun accepts the horns as a part of him. And he is happy with his new friends, but there is one problem-a huge problem.
