When they return to the hotel, he asks Chan to give him his bottle that they bought by the stand, and his boyfriend hands it to him. Then the two part for a bit, WooPil returning to their room and Chan heading out again to buy more things at the convenience store. Their favourite place on Earth.

In the room, WooPil takes a shower and wears more comfortable clothes, before lying on the bed to laze. That's when he finally tries his drink from the stands.
Being it a small bottle, he drinks it all very fast but shortly after, he starts to feel strange. Even if that was not supposed to be alcoholic in any way — and he has an insane residence to alcohol —, he starts to feel more and more dizzy. So much that his sight gets so blurry that he literally doesn't manage to see. He also starts to feel hot and sweat a lot. So much that he takes off his pants — only the pants, remaining with oversize sweater and boxers —, and he never takes off his clothes if not necessary. He hates to expose his body.

He lies down on the bed, only feeling worse as time goes by, so much he is barely conscious.
The door to the room isn't locked and they haven't even chosen how to split among the three rooms they got. They are all on the last floor, connected by a central little lounge outside the rooms, as if it was an apartment.

After they are done eating the noodles and tteokbokki, WooPil starts to feel awkward again, alone with Qi and TiHao and that automatically triggers his anxiety again. It's not their fault, even TiHao is behaving extremely quiet and patient for his standards, it's just the marks left by what BangSul and Hoseok did to WonPil. WooPil finds it very difficult to feel fully at ease with adult males.

After a bit, he takes the excuse he has to go to the bathroom to basically disappear. He goes to lock himself in the bathroom for real, having a little panic attack in there. He doesn't know why it happens, he himself doesn't understand why he feels anxiety in those situations. He likes Qi, he has always been super nice to him.

As soon as WooPil leaves, TiHao grabs the bag of stuff the kid bought, to check what's inside of it. Candies and nothing else. He was expecting there would be like a whole collection of gashapon with finger-hugging fox toys inside, but instead, the one WooPil gave him was the only one. At this point, TiHao simply can't believe it's all just a case: WooPil gave him that the day of his own birthday (23rd of August) and the toy inside is an Huli Jing.

After Qi leaves, Chan approaches him right away. The other's mood changed drastically within few minutes, from unreasonably furious to depressed.
Chan glances at WooPil, but the look of the bruise that his slap left on his cheekbone makes him break entirely.
While his boyfriend cries, a few steps away from the door, WooPil approaches him and hugs him.
«I am so hopelessly dumb», sobs Chan, eventually returning the hug and sinking his face against WooPil's hair. «I should have noticed it was you… how could I be so blind…»
«It was just a slap, not even a real hit. I am not a girl, there is nothing bad of you hit me.»
Chan shakes his head multiple times. «I will never raise a finger against you again… I swear on my life, I will never let it happen again, even by accident.» He shuts his eyes.
«You did it to protect me… you didn't even know it was me. It doesn't count, jinjja, don't worry!»

WooPil takes Chan's hands and pulls him towards the bed. «Also… juseyo, don't get these bad feelings because of me. Don't argue with people because of me…»
Chan lies on his side of the bed and pulls WooPil close to him, hugging him tight. «I will find a way to solve the problem you have… I already have an idea who I could ask…»
WooPil doesn't find it promising that Chan didn't comment his words and changed subject. But he can't say he is angry at him, since he did what he did just to defend him, even if there was not the need. «Hyung… do you like girls…?»
Chan remains silent for some moments, probably finding the question weird or worrying. «I don't like girls… and i don't like boys. I like Lee WooPil only.»
He wonders if Chan said that to reassure him in case he will he stuck as a girl forever. In a way, hearing that relieves him and well, it also makes him happy to hear.

After that, they remain in silence for a bit, both in a sleep position, with Chan hugging curled up WooPil from behind on the bed.
WooPil takes Chan's hand and moves it under his own robe, placing it on his chest, feeling like to be fondled a little, but also wanting to do something nice to his boyfriend. He knows he likes both boys and girls anyway.
So far, they have never done the real thing, it's only been Chan to HJ him. It only happened twice, the first WooPil was too stunned to do it back and the second they got interrupted before he could return the favour.

Chan indeed start to touch WooPil's body, very gently. «You want some fun, naughty boy…?» he says in an amused murmur.
WooPil feels so uncomfortable in a feminine form that he'd rather pass, but he so wants to help Chan to feel better.
Though, when the other moves his hand down, sliding his fingers under the belt of his pants, WooPil freaks out. «Ani, juseyo», he says in a gasp and Chan moves his hand away immediately, returning to hug him with both hands.
«Mianhe», murmurs WooPil, feeling sorry for no reason, but definitely not ready for that kind of games, as a girl.
*Chan wasn't going for the real thing and WooPil knows.
«You got scared?»
«Ani… it's just… it's too weird, I don't want…!» WooPil covers his face with arms, feeling silly and embarrassed at the same time.
Chan snorts and leans his head against WooPil's. «Let's just take a nap together.»

He had to work till late, since half of the grannies were already back home and sleeping when they got the news that they had to bring food to all those soldiers outside. And, of course, food for the prince too.
For the first time he had the chance to actually cook, instead of just preparing the ingredients.

Quite exhausted and clueless on all that happened while he was working, after delivering the last meal, he finally packs to return home. He walks very slowly in the street.

Marks that his previous life left on his soul:

× Mistrust and fear towards teleportation — due to the fact he was tricked by a fake teleporter that took him in a different place from where he asked, leading to one of the most tremendous experiences in his previous life.
• He was hypnotized into betraying TiHao, captured and tortured for days.

× Inability to build a very deep and healthy friendship. It is especially difficult for him to trust friends and rely on them — due to what BangSul and Hoseok did to him in his previous life.
• They imprisoned him in Hoseok's manor, raped him and ultimately caused his death.

× Obsessive Abandonment Issues, especially intense towards his beloved one and that escalate into sleeping disorder. When he sleeps, he gets peaks of terror that his lover could have disappeared — due to the great love of his previous life leaving him in the night, while he was sleeping.

× Huge insecurities and paranoia of being always misunderstood — due to various events in which his actions were misunderstood, especially the final moment of his previous life, that ultimately led to his accidental death.

Other features:

× Eating disorders, ranging from binge eating to starve himself — due to the traumas Cho Chul-gang caused him in his childhood, starving him and having rage outbreaks when catching WooPil eating.

× Constant worry to be a burden to others — due to his traumatic childhood and being constantly rejected and treated like trash by the North Koreans.

× Yes, his name now is WooPil — WonPil was the name of his previous life self.

× Other than Muhan sword, he also found a wooden necklace with carved a cute small animal. He doesn't know which animal it represents, but that's an otter and when he'll finally wear it, he will be followed by the spirit of an otter.

× He will find a phoenix feather, that will allow him an easier management of fire, light and stoves at home.

× The reason why, in the Halls, he was separated from the other souls and nobody was allowed to visit him was due to the fact the divine weapons, striking him together, caused heavy damages to his soul that needed the Gods' intervention to be fixed.

× Muhan is powerful enough to follow WooPil and appear where he is, if he leaves it behind.

× His fox tails can't be seen because he has not yet earned any.
