Title: Stockholm Syndrome
Written By: SSZE_A501

Chapter: NINE.

I had a dream. I couldn't see anything, everything was blank and I was just standing there by myself. It was so black that I didn't know where I was even
standing on. Usually, I don't have any dreams, but if I do have dreams like once in a week, they are all realistic dreams but not like this unrealistic dream
that I was having right now. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do.

"... Is anyone here?"

When I said the word, 'Is anyone here?' The words echoed and never stopped, until it went too far. That made me shiver and made me more scared of where
I was at the moment. Soon, I could here someone's footsteps, the footsteps was coming behind me. When I turned around to see who it was, It was Seyong.
Seyong was looking at me. But Kim Seyong was... Seyong was... crying. He was keep on walking towards me, while crying.

"Seyong-ah..."

"... Chaejin-ah."

"Why are you crying..?"

"... I'm sorry."

'I'm sorry, I'm sorry.' Seyong didn't say anything else but kept on repeating the word sorry. I looked straight into his sad looking eyes. When I looked into
his eyes, there were still more tears left that was about to come down any minute. I didn't know what to do, but at this time I just walked towards where
Seyong was, and hugged him. But, when I was hugging him, I didn't feel anything. I couldn't feel that I was hugging Seyong, when I looked at him. My
arms just went through his body, like if Seyong was a ghost.

"... ah..."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"... why... how come..."

I didn't know why, but tears also came down out of my eyes and was going down to my chin and went down to wet my clothes. The tears which were
on my clothes were, becomming to a round shape and it became a circle.

"... Chilsung Apartment, Number 105..."

"..."

Seyong who kept on repeating the word, said something about an apartment that I couldn't even understand what he was talking about, but when he finished
saying that word, he began to disappear. I wanted to run after him, but the tears in my eyes were getting blurry that I couldn't see him properly. The tears
held me on, that it made me lose Seyong to disappear.

"Don't go... don't go... please... don't go... Seyong-ah!!! Don't go!!!"

"I'm sorry..."

Seyong fully disappeared from the dark, but I kept on calling for Seyong no matter what. I wanted him to come back to me in my dreams. I kept on
screaming for him to comeback, that I love him... but the tears that I dropped become a big wave and came towards me, which I also disappeared from the
dream I was having now...

***

"Seyong-ah!!!"

I woke up from my sleep, as soon as I disappeared from that dream. When I opened my eyes, and looked around the house, it was so dark like the dream
I had just now. There was no sound, or movements. It was just so quiet.

"... Kim Seyong... where did you go..."

I miss you. You're making me worried right now. Please, comeback... I wanted Seyong to be in this house, but it didn't happen as I wanted to be, because
Seyong wasn't inside the house. It made me more scared, because it seemed like the dream had become true that tears came coming up my eyes again, as
I cried out loud. I cried wanting Seyong to comeback to me and say the words that he always used to say to me, 'It's alright. I'm here for you.' but that was
as usual what I wanted it to happen. I thought about it, and thought about that I should find Seyong myself. I need to look for him so that the nightmare
I had just now, could go away. Then, I would feel much better than now.

'... Chilsung Apartment. Number 105...'

Chilsung Apartment... I put on one of Seyong's jacket, and put some money inside the pocket and went out of the house. It was already night time and the
street lights were coming on.

"Taxi!"

I ran upto the road where the taxi was coming and stopped it. The taxi driver looked at me and said, 'Eventhough, you're in a rush. Never do that again.' and
gave me the warning but that warning didn't even go into my ears. I was only thinking about Seyong right now.

"To Chilsung Apartment."

Taxi driver who looked at me, just shook his head and started heading towards the place that I just told him. The traffic lights and the street lights that was
showing infront of me was just looking so blurry because of my tears covering the view. I couldn't help it that I talk to the taxi driver to go faster and faster.

"Ajusshi... more faster... please, I'm in a rush.."

"Okay, okay. I will, It's red light so I can't go."

"... ah... I'm sorry..."

When the traffic turned green, the taxi driver drove more faster than before, and in about ten minutes of driving, the taxi stopped infront of the Chilsung
Apartment and looked behind where I was sitting at.

"You're here. Just give me 7chunwon."

"H-here..."

I just threw the money that I put inside the pocket, and went out of the taxi without saying thanks to the taxi driver. When I went inside the apartment
and quickly went inside the elevator and pressed number two. There was the sound of a gun which felt like the bullet went through my heart. Ahh... who
got shot by that gun... at the time, my head was blank and turned white just by thinking who got shot. The elevator stopped to the second floor and it
opened...

"..."

The second floor, I couldn't explain how it looked like because it was already full of blood everywhere. There were still sound of a gun, and the blood coming
from here and there. When I walked up to the door, which was slightly opened which happened to be the number 100 there was the light on inside. I was
definately sure that Seyong was doing his mission to kill someone. I shook my head a few times, and was about to open the door, but when I was about
to open the door, someone else came out of the door as if he was rushing. The person was grabbing onto his arms, which blood was coming out and was
looking at me with his painful expression. Then, his expression changed as he smiled towards me. When he smiled like that, I couldn't move. That person
was smiling at me, and was coming closer and closer to me.

"... ah... ah..."

"Heh..."

I wanted to say something, but nothing came out of my mouth. When I wanted to run away from here, my legs wouldn't move. At the same time, there
was a sound of a glass breaking as Seyong came out of the room. In his right hand he was holding his gun, and in the other hand he was holding his thigh
which got stabbed by a knife that the blood was coming out from his thigh.

"... S... Seyong... -ah..."

"...!!!"

When Seyong heard my voice, he looked at where I was, but I was already captured by the person who came to me. The person had the knife near my neck
and was laughing into my ears which made me shiver. ... Seyong-ah, I'm scared... I should have known, that Seyong was nearly completing his mission.
I didn't know because of my appearance, the mission he had to do was more complicated than it was.

"Chaejin-ah!!!"

"... h-help m-me..."

When I said that word, my voice was trembling because I was scared, I couldn't move at all, because if I move just a little, I would have my neck cut by
that knife that he has right now.

"Kim Seyong. I guess he's someone you know?"

"... just put that knife down..."

"I wouldn't be doing that, because if I do. You'll give me no choice but to kill me."

"Hah.... Chajin-ah..."

"... Seyong-ah... just go... go..."

"Chaejin, don't say that!!!"

"J-just go... if you save me, then you'll get hurt... you'll be the one who'll get hurt!"

"Don't say such thing like that, how could I..."

"Just go...."

"I had enough of hearing your conversations. It's not the time to be saying those, don't you think?"

The person made the laugh again, as he slightly cut my neck witht he tip of the knife, which made blood coming out from my neck. Tears came coming
down my eyes, as I looked at Seyong, I didn't have any strength to say anything because of amount of blood coming out my neck.

"... Don't touch Chaejin..."

"Heh, Kim Seyong. I never saw you like this before-"

"... just let him go..."

"Did Lee Gunwoo, tell you to kill me? I knew he will, but I never knew you'll come."

The person laughed into my ears again, and touched my face. That made Seyong scream out more angrily.

"Don't touch him!!!"

"Then, put your gun down."

"... if I put my gun down, are you going to let him go."

"Yeah, I will let him go. As soon as you put your gun down, I'll let him go."

"Hah... Chaejin-ah, when I put my gun down, run."

"B... but..."

"I'm going to be fine. Did you ever see me getting hurt?"

Seyong smiled towards me, to calm me down, but I still had a bad feeling about this, that tears came coming down my face again. Kim Seyong... don't put
the gun down... what if the dream that I had really happens to you... Seyong who looked into your eyes, dropped the gun that he was holding, at the same
time the knife in his hands dropped as he let go off me.

"Now. Run!!!"

- B A N G -

I was about to do what Seyong told me to do, but when I turned around, the person who dropped the knife, took out a gun behind his back and aimed
the gun towards... Seyong.
