The next morning, before the dawn, mio woke up with all teary eyes. His face didn't turn back to normal, but instead the scales were grown on his arms too. it was a relief for him that his wings disappeared when he fainted near the pond. For a second he sighed, but after a while he remembered that there was someone behind the bushes, but didn't know who was he. Mio hardly remember a very familiar voice he heard the very last night.
He was just thinking about it when the dawn broke and the sun rose. He was so mesmerised by the beauty of it that he forgot to check where he was and to find out how he ended up here.
Mio turn his head at the edge of the bed to get on his feet, but the moment he turned, with the light of the rising sun spreading all over the room, he saw liang sleeping. Liang was sitting on the floor while supporting his upper body with the edge of the bed. Mio wiped his tears and saw that it was his room.
It was so shocking for him that he is stored up and run towards bathroom. He went inside and locked himself, then he washed his face and look at himself with a really bizarre stare in the mirror.
After a while, he heard a sound of running. He thought maybe it was Hunas's kids woke up early and started playing without his father knowing. For a minute he thought that it was the kid running around the house, and he totally forgot about Liang but suddenly a knock on the door which broke the peace of mio's inner mind.
After the knock, a deafening silence took over the bathroom. But it didn't last long, in a few seconds someone outside the gate was banging the door furiously. That's when he remembered that Liang was sleeping near the bed.
A voice came, "Mio!!! open the door if you are inside!!! don't be scared!!!" Liang was outside the door. He woke a few minutes after Mio rushed to the bathroom. He was so scared when he didn't see him sleeping on the bed. Liang looked for him everywhere in the house, he even told Hunas to search for him in garden and backyard.
Then he just saw the bathroom's door being locked from the inside. Mio went to open the door, but as soon hands reached the door knob he retreats and said "n...no!!!.. I would not open it!!!...". liang knew that Mio is feeling insecure and shy because of the Dragon scale that unexpectedly grew all over his body, but he would not be able to help him if Mio keep refusing to come out he said in a firm tone "we've already seen it last night... you don't have to worry about it, look if you don't tell us what exactly happened you we would not the able to help you... so please open the door...". Mio was so confused and ashamed for how he came here and Liang and everyone have seen him in this state already. He gathered his courage and open the door.
