The searing pain that came with the sprouting was all at once, not drawn out and gradual like it was for Mark's. Because after harboring feelings of love for the person he'd been avoiding for three entire months, Donghyuck's body had propelled through the process at back-breaking speeds: Skin breached and torn open by rapidly forming bones; blood running high and fast through molding muscles; feathers cracking through newly developed flesh—all in a matter of seconds.
But Renjun was there, holding him close, experiencing the exact same pain, and Donghyuck felt the agony ebb away.
