Chapter 8 - Reality

I Saw That

You handed the book you had been holding to Jiae and Soojung. You knew that they really wanted to know what was going on in your head. They had worried a lot about you anyway, so you decided to tell the truth. Both of them couldn't help but dropped their jaws as they saw your sketches, page by page. All those murder scenes you drew were ironically beautiful. Yet, they gave off fear, just like how you felt when those nightmares occured, to anyone who saw them.

"This lady was seriously trying to kill me..." You said while showing them the last page; a sketch of the red-haired lady throwing a knife right at your direction. The perspective you used to draw it made the sketch looked so real. You, yourself, couldn't help but shiver seeing your own creation.

"Oh God, I have a goosebump..." Soojung rubbed her neck. Both Soojung's and Jiae's face turned pale. They were frightened, too.

"____-ah, did you really dream all of these?" Jiae asked you in a really low voice. She, somehow, looked so nervous.

"I swear I did. Well, I won't force you guys to trust me, though..."

After how Myungsoo reacted to all of these earlier at the rooftop, you didn't expect anyone to believe you no more. Even Myungsoo, someone you trusted the most, thought that you'd lost your mind. Perhaps Soojung and Jiae would think so too, you thought.

"No, ____. It's just... I think I've seen this somewhere." Jiae answered, pointing the sketch of the victim you saw on your first nightmare, leaving both you and Soojung speechless.

 

On the other hand, Myungsoo and his buddies were on their way to hang out. That shocking story you told, those sketches you showed; they were too much for him. He honestly was still thinking about you. Moreover, he heard that you didn't show up for class after what happened earlier. He was worried, but at the same time, he thought that you needed some time to calm down and think.

"So, where are we going?" Sungjong asked for some opinions. They had been walking for a while but still hadn't decided where to go.

"Jiah, do you want to go somewhere?" Myungsoo asked her, trying to get some attention.

"Well, anywhere is okay. I'm up to you, guys." She answered and smiled.

"Oh, I know! Let's go to Hongdae!" Sungyeol yelled. Dongwoo nodded excitedly.

"Ah, yes. I wanna play that punching game!" said Woohyun.

"Nah, you won't win." Hoya calmly answered.

"Well, at least I'll win over Sunggyu." Hearing Woohyun's answer, Sunggyu frowned his eyebrows, making his already small eyes even smaller, and playfully hit Woohyun.

 

Hongdae. It was supposed to be a fun place to hang out at.

Everyone enjoyed their time, except for Myungsoo. He wasn't even in the mood for those arcade games he usually loved to play. His plan to hit on Jiah ended up being a mess since he could only think about you. He recalled what you said about Hongdae.

Well, actually he was thinking of everything you did; waking up crying because of those nightmares, falling asleep in the balcony, telling him you saw murders and went to Hongdae in your sleep, showing him drawings of what you saw in your dreams. Everything just kept bugging him.

"Myungsoo, are you okay?" Jiah, who noticed Myungsoo was being quiet, reached him who was just sitting around, while the others were still playing.

"Hmm... Want some coffee?" Jiah pointed a coffee shop across the game center they were at.

"Sure." They went to the coffee shop and told the others to come after. They has some espresso and chatted for a while.

From the coffee shop's window, Myungsoo saw a crowd of people standing near the coffee shop. Some even took pictures with their phones and cameras. Feeling curious, Myungsoo went outside with Jiah, joining the crowd to see what's going on.

 

The crowd apparently didn't gather for any celebrities. They didn't gather for a big sale either. They were standing in front of a small path which was 'decorated' with the infamous yellow police lines.

Right then, some officers walked out from the isolated area, carrying a stretcher with a dead body on it. The crowd then opened up the way for them to pass. Jiah was too scared to see and hid her face on Myungsoo's back. Meanwhile, Myungsoo noticed something as he watched the police passed in front of him.

The dead body was indeed covered, but he couldn't just unsee that.

 

Red hair.

 

Myungsoo quickly turned his head to see what's around. And he saw that sign.

 

Club NB.

 

Now it's Myungsoo who was scared to death.
