Angelica's POV

"Chamomile," Jonathan says.

"But we shouldn't assume that already," I said, "You'll get in trouble, you're a CEO."

"I know, and here we are, walking in civilian clothes. It's not like we're having a meeting with them," he says and I just had a weird feeling from it and we headed inside, it's different from Beonyeong Mall. This looks more modern and has only a monochromatic tone in color, people here are busy. They all come in interaction as if we lived back before.

"I think they don't have technologies here."

"They have," he says and points out, CCTVs are displayed discreetly and they wear earpieces. Weird enough for people to drive them off.

"Is this how they present their mall?" I asked him in a hushed tone.

"No, they usually come up with a plan every month. They change themes, now, maybe they're in a James Bond theme."

"Okay, but it looks surreal." As we continued to argue, we stopped at a flower shop. I got curious about why then I remembered that he is a werewolf. I just nodded at Jonathan and I went inside, the colors of the inside are much more different than the outside. They come in various colors and it's all arranged, they have perfectionism in their minds I guess.

"Welcome to Fiora's Flower Shop! I'm the florist and the owner," she says invitingly, I smile at her and I start to wander inside. Jonathan, on the other hand, is confused about where to look for the chamomile. The smell of the flowers might've been too strong for him that it starts to mix.

"Do you... have any chance, chamomile?" I asked.

"Wow, I don't know chamomile flowers are the trends nowadays," she says.

"Really? Why?"

"I don't know, there's this one guy who bought all of my chamomile flowers."

"Can a chamomile put you to sleep?" I asked her.

"Somehow, yes, they have apigen. They're like a tranquilizer, but it's mild. It somehow relaxes you and then you'll fall asleep, they're mostly made of tea. But no, I've never heard someone use it to put a human to sleep, it needs more than that. Probably a laughing gasβ€” also known as Nitrous Oxide." As Fiora explains, I suddenly ran out of the shop and went outside the mall. I saw some chamomile had fallen on the ground and followed it, it was getting late and I ended up near Beonyeong Mall and saw delinquents spraying the side of the building.

"Dude, if we get caughtβ€”"

"If you get caught, you'll be dead. I'm serious," I said in an exhausted tone and they stumble onto their feet before running away. Those guys are troublesome. Even the fanciest places could still be swarmed by people like them, I walk back when I hear someone scream. I followed the source of the noise and I found myself in the middle of the road with no one around, then a light beam me up and a car swivels at the very edge of the road. Before I could even think, it hit me, I felt myself flying. My body drops to the floor with a thud, the car just keeps on moving. I can read some of the numbers before I feel myself sleepy, am I dying? But why like this? It's too early. It's not fair. Someone came rushing onto me and saw Jonathan's face, I sweetly smiled at him before passing out.

Jonathan's POV

I called an ambulance and later, Angelica was rescued just in time. After a long time, the doctor comes out and looks sad. I feel like I'm falling apart, then someone behind me runs.

"Is he okay?" she asks, I sighed in relief and saw that it wasn't the doctor. I forgot the doctor's face and Angelique came rushing.

"We heard what happened," she says on the verge of tears and I just nod, "Who did this to her?" she asks sadly.

"We don't know about it yet and there's a clue to find that person."

"And that is?'

"He likes to buy chamomile and a can of nitrous oxide probably gonna use that to victimize someone," I said, my hands gripping tightly to the bench and it folds within my grasp. The doctor rubs her eyes and just looks at me, she shakes her head and walks away. Angelique flicks my head and I look at her, she points at the bench and I just put it back. Time goes by and another doctor comes out.

"Mr. Young?" I stand and quickly walk toward him.

"I am, what happened? Is Angelica okay?" I asked tons of questions and he just nodded.

"Currently, Ms. Angelica's okay. She had a severe concussion, it might take her a long time. About 2 hours or so, she'll wake up." I shake his hand and he leaves, Angelique sighs in relief. The others came too, and I told them about what happened...

7 hours earlier...

As soon as the florist says that it puts them to sleep and adds the gas that Angelica suspected, she suddenly leaves and I just apologize to her.

"What are you doing?" I asked her.

"There's not much time, the sun's going to set and I need to catch up to him." She starts to see chamomiles on the floor and she starts to run as fast as she could and we ended up in Beonyeong Mall.

"Angelica, he might've already been gone. Or it might not be him," I said and I heard someone spraying on the wall of the mall and she happened to be surprised and I gave them a look in the eye that could threaten their very existence, we both heard someone scream and she came for it first. I called someone to clean it up and my senses heightened and I heard a car swivel up and hit someone, I felt a pang in my chest and I started to run. I found her lying on the floor and blood running from the back of her head.

Now...

"Oh my gosh, do you still remember that car brand or even its plate number?"

"No, it was already gone when I came. But now, let's wait for Angelica to wake up." Surprisingly, I forgot that it's my hospital and it's allowed to bring animals here, they did, and David was kind of worried about her and picked him up.

"Hey, what happened to Angelica?" he asks.

"You already heard what just happened, but you have to do me some favor."

"Okay?"

"Here's what you need to do, you have to come up to her and talk to her. Be gentle when asking, you're old."

"Tch. As if that were affecting my bark," he barks and I just look him dead in the eye and I sign for him to turn around and they are looking at him, he whimpers a bit and just sighed.

"Deal," I said and went inside first, she was still sleeping. I look at her and tears formed in my eyes, I suddenly remembered Monica lying on her bed just like her and pale. But there's a relief washing my thought that it's different and I should move on from her, her index finger twitches and I hold it gently. She started to open her eyes and I smiled at her, "It's okay, you're fine. Everything's gonna be okay." I rushed out of the door and they all looked at me, I smiled at them.
