Fog...

moist...

petrichor...

"Where am I?"

"Where is this?"

I asked my legs, it brought me here to the land of the unknown. They ignored me, of course, and keep going north, or is it south? or west? east? I don't know, The only thing I'm sure is the fog gets thicker and thicker as I walk. 

I walked for who knows how long, still I don't feel fatigued whereas the weather is unusual, It looks like it just rained because I stepped on a lot of puddles along the road, but it is also very humid. It's supposed to be chilly when the fog is thick, but no...

"It's hot!"

Breeze does not exist in this place I guess...

*Shooooo*

Okay... I take my words back. That was the first breeze I felt. 

*Shooooo*

Again... the wind blow... but this time it came from the opposite direction and it was faster.

"Oh... finally."

Seems like I regain control over my body after I got struck by lightning. I shake my arms and legs out of excitement.

However the excitement doesn't last long, soon I realized I've moved to a different place.

"Where... what's going on?"

White...

I can only see white...

My surrounding has changed into a complete white. I take a few steps ahead and I can hear my footsteps echoing, there is nothing here but me, not even a grain of dust. This place is the real definition of emptiness.

"Hi there..."

I froze

That sweet and calm tone 

That familiar voice

I turned my body to where the sound comes from.

"How are you?"

A figure standing a few meters away from me asked me with a bright smile on her face. I stand still foolishly, my heart screaming out loud, I feel relief and hurt at the same time. 

"You don't look well, Chae... how is your life? Is there somet
