Chapter Text
A year had passed since Gwi-ma has been defeated, that unforgettable concert which almost led the humanity into their doom, the last time they had seen the Saja Boys who started as their kpop group rival into someone they needed to take care of, to put their existence into extinction.
It has been a whole year of all that.
A whole year of not sensing even the slightest of their existence. His existence.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was a sunny warm day and Zoey went out to celebrate and made use of one of their rarest and most sought out vacation week to pack up her supplies of treats to enjoy later on their planned movie marathon with the girls on their favorite spot-
"The couch, the couch, the couch~" she hummed to herself as she filled her shopping basket with their must have Ramyeon and other snacks that would go well with it and some colas.
She was too excited for tonight, it has been quite a busy year for them. Even after the dealing with that major battle they had with the demon boy band group ft. Gwi-ma, they didn't really had the time to lay low, true, they did got a few weeks worth of break but after that they met with work, work and nothing but work. Things got more hectic with the "Saja Boys sudden uncalled disappearance/hiatus without any announcements" so their fans converted to Huntrix supporters in a heartbeat.
To make sure the fans would not notice anything and have their attention be diverted completely and not anticipate an impossible "comeback" from the boys, the girls keep everyone busy with new songs back-to-back with the help of Zoey's handy dandy notebook of lyrics. Fortunately, their planned worked and "Saja Boys" had totally been forgotten as if erased from the people's memory.
Zoey was still humming her "couch" chant as he heads up to the counter to pay, but was stopped instantly when she felt a shoulder bumped into hers. Her precious bundle of joys aka snacks almost fell which rubbed her the wrong way, as she was about to face and confront the person in question, what greeted her were pairs of finely toned abs, abs that were so irresistible and would unconsciously makes her mouth water, but before she fully gets mesmerized by this piece of art welcoming her, her brows knitted in wonder as why does it feels it wasn't the first time she saw these abs, why are they so oddly felt so familiar, and why does she even feels that way?
Staring at that body won't really give her the answer the needs so Zoey decided to look up and got her answer which she least expected it to be.
What? How? When? Who?
Was the questions running around her head, because how come the demon they supposed to had been defeated is now standing in front of her?
How did this happened?
When did he came back to life?
Who else is with him?
As Zoey stared in horror and worry, she still tried to snap out of it and pulled out her blades, aiming at the pink haired man with his abs still out in the fly.
"Woah! Chill there hunter girlie~ no need to be fiesty, we've come here in piece." Abby, with a side of chuckle tried to calm the wary hunter with his hands raised.
"We, what do you mean we?" Zoey questioned still not giving up her fighting stance and weapons aimed at Abby while looking at her left and right side.
"Yo!" A greeting suddenly came from her behind with a guy in a minty hair in a cute hat waving one of his hand and the other holding onto his lollipop which he took off from his mouth.
"We're here too!" Followed by another pink haired guy with all smiles giving her a quick salute as a greeting.
"Umm, Hello" The man with his full bangs still covering more than half of his face sent his greeting as he and the other guys slowly approached her.
And with that, Zoey was suddenly surrounded by four men who shouldn't be here in the first place. This is not a reunion that she was eager to have, not when she is all alone, can she even handle them all? She remembered how she even struggled fighting Mystery one-on-one back then, what would happen to her now?
"Hey, come on now, put down the weapons, I told you we've come in peace." Abby repeated trying to approach her inch by inch trying to make Zoey put her hand hand.
"Back off demon!" She yelled jumping back away from him but only to make her near Baby and Mystery's side.
"Calm down woman, and don't call us demons, we're not like that anymore." Baby added while placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Zoey asked, puzzled on how to take on what she just heard.
"Zoey..." Mystery called her attention tugging onto the end of her jacket which was part of her disguise outfirt to stay away from fans attention. He simply called her name but didn't say anything after that and simply stared at her face.
"Ummm... Yes?" Finally calming down she turned her head onto Mystery in full anticipation on what he would be saying.
"Wow, is that favoritism I see? You're all hot headed facing us but now act so meek and sweet with just one call from Mystery?" Baby commented with a scoff at the end.
"Shut up!" Was the the only response she was able to give as she really had nothing to say to back herself up. She tried to act tough, but Mystery's charm at her stayed the same even after a year had passed.
"Anyways, it's a long story, and this is not really the best place to talk about it. Not to mention this is a public area, are you okay with suddenly facing scandals next morning?" Romance finally butting in trying to align everyone as he felt crowd is starting to take notice of them due to the ruckus they had all been starting.
"Well, why would I even need to listen, rather join you guys? I don't know what you will do to me, there's four of you one of me?" Zoey trying to firmly reject them. She doesn't know is they are telling the truth or not but being alone with them is not a good idea for sure.
"Actually, we would appreciate it if you could call your sisters, specially Rumi, we also need to speak with her." Romace requested.
"How do I know this is not just a trap? Why should I even trust you guys? I won't let you hurt Rumi and Mira, just you dare." The hunter glared and once again pulled out a number of her blades to her hand.
"If we wanted to hurt you, we have done that far earlier already instead of trying to talk it to you." Abby whined, as he gets slowly impatient with how the conversation goes.
"Stop being so fussy and go give your friends a call already" Baby followed up snatching Zoey's phone from her pocket and forcefully placing it to her hand.
"Wha-"
"Zoey, please..." Mystery calmly pleaded as he gave her another tug on her jacket.
Zoey shut her eyes out trying to resist Mystery's begging but alas he really does makes her resolve so weak before she knew it she was already face timing Rumi's number, lucky enough she and Mira are together at their condo waiting for her return.
"Hey Zoey! Did you get my- what the hell??? Why? What? Huuuh???!!" Rumi panicked in worry after seeing not only Zoey in front of the screen but the rest of the Saja Boys behind her with who knows how it happened?
"Zoey?! Zoey are you okay? Why are you with them? I mean how did it even happened? Oh my God Zoey did they try to hurt you?" Rumi continuously asked.
"Hey demon bastards stay away from Zoey, I'll kill you for the second time around if any of you touch even a strand of her hair!" Mira threatened in anger.
"I missed you too Mira~" Romance answered back, playing her threats by the ear.
"Hi Mira!!!" Abby gleefully greeted as if they were even close friends who haven't seen each other from a long time.
With a sigh how pathetic everyone on his eye are, Baby grabbed Zoey's arm holding the phone to have the front camera face him, "we'll let her send you the location so go there, don't worry we'll keep your friend safe and harm so just hurry up and meet with us."
"I'll text you guys the location, and don't worry it seems they are saying the truth, they really haven't done anything to me aside of showering pleasantries." Zoey tried to reassure her girls and shut the call down and sent them a map heading to a secluded cafe that she frequents too that is away from the public eye.
