Baekho rushed around the room, tidying and stuffing any old clothes in the drawers. He was waiting for Hara to come - but he was running late. He'd taken a nap and woke ten minutes later than he should of, and he was starting to panic; she would be here any moment.

He'd decided they would have a picnic in his dorm. The others were out and he wanted to go by the lake... but ever since Seungri's dissapearence, he wasn't sure if he wanted to go there. That and it was raining outside, so he thought he'd try to make his dorm room into a nice place for a picnic. Unfortunately he'd completely forgotten that the place was a tip. That and he could hardly cook anything worth eating, so he was worried that his great idea was going to turn into a disaster. He promised himself that once the place was safe again, he'd take Hara out to Hogsmeade.

He lay the food out on the floor, giving the room one last once-over to make sure it was presentable. He decided that it would do.

Baekho sat in the chair, waiting. He wasn't sure if she was going to show up at all, but he had to try. He needed to sort this out.

He wasn't sure what he was going to do. If Hara was not interested, then it ended here. He could not continue his friendship with her, because it would hurt too much; he'd keep falling for her, and where would that get him? But if she was interested... well, Baekho would have to deal with that as it came. That thought was easier to bear, but he didn't want to focus on it too much in case she threw it all back at him.

Baekho sighed as he left the hospital wing. He was embarrassed to say the least - he never, ever burned himself while messing around with fire, but this time he had. He was down by the lake bending the elements, mixing water and air. He was just about to add fire when a cat shrieked from behind him and he lost his concentration. He ended up pointing the wand at his hand - the rest was pretty obvious. He didn't know any healing spells so he'd had to swallow his pride and see the nurse. He wasn't very happy about it.

His wound hadn't needed a bandage but the nurse gave him some cream to take the sting away; she'd said that the healing spell would have finished working by tomorrow and he could go back to normal.

He ducked his head as he scurried out, not wanting to be seen by anybody, when he collided with someone in the hallway.

Baekho was sitting by the lake, playing around with the elements. What he lacked in charms skills, he made up for in being able to manipulate the elements. His parents were unhappy with this skill - it was too erratic for someone of his status. Baekho didn’t care though, he loved the feeling of control from manipulating the elements. He’d even tried to do it without a wand once or twice, but the best he could do was splash a bit of water, and that might have been a pebble..

Baekho lay back on the grass, making pictures in the air with water. It didn’t take so much control now as it used to, and Baekho was grateful for that. When he was younger, first discovering this skill, he accidentally set one of the oak trees in his garden on fire. That was with his first wand, and it was quickly taken off him and placed in a box under lock and key. Baekho remembered that he cried for days…

The grass underneath him was soft and the wind was blowing gently, calming him. He could feel his mind drifting… his thoughts slowed down… and he fell asleep under the tree. Some time later he was woken up by a loud snap. Baekho spun around.
