ROWOON'S P.O.V. (?) I opened my eyes and saw me standing behind a large amount of bushes, I questioned myself and tried to recall when did I go here because the last time I checked I passed out in the hallway and I'm sure this is a garden; With all the tress, plants and flowers, I'm pretty sure this is a garden. Looking around, I saw two people sitting on somewhat like a bench. I approached them, trying to find out where place is this and how the hell did I arrived here. But I stopped. My tracks stopped when I saw the first person's face. Irene(?) But she wasn’t like the Irene I know, she was wearing a traditional hanbok and her hair was in a chignon style with the traditional hair pin pinning the chignon in place.  I was too frozen to even move, I know that’s not Irene. From the aura itself, I already knew that there is something wrong. Where am I? My mind wasn’t processing yet when the scenery changed, the clear skies turned into dark cloudy skies, the sun was hidden, rain was falling, thunders are roaring and the wind was howling.
“Please no!” I looked at my side where the scream came from and saw a young woman struggling her way out the guards grasp, she was crying and trying to go somewhere. I was in front of a what seems like a execution site, I was standing in the middle and none of them seems to notice me; Like I was invisible. Yeah, something is wrong. I realized that the young woman looked like Irene, the young woman earlier! I want to comfort her but I can’t move, I'm frozen to my place. How much I tried to take a step, I can’t.  “Don’t kill her!!” The young woman screamed, I followed her gaze and saw what she was looking at.  I now know the reason why she’s crying. There was a young woman on top of a wooden platform in front of me with a rope tied around her neck, the execution was still not finished. Looking intensively at the young woman, I was shocked and my eyes widen. What the actual ?! It was me. A loud thunder roared and the scenery changed again, I was now in the place of the young woman who looked like me, I had a rope tied around my neck but I still can’t move. The young woman who looked like Irene came to my view, her eyes were puffy and her whole body is wet from the rain; all of our bodies were. “Please don’t go, SeulGi. You promised me that we'll be together forever, right? Please don't leave me alone, I can’t live without you by my side, my dear servant” The young woman hugged me tight, I can hear her sobs through the loud thundering rain, I suddenly hugged her back without knowing that I can move again. Like someone was controlling me, my mouth let out words without me knowing. “I will not leave you, Baechu. I would always be on your side, not physically but mentally. I will never leave you because I love you. You mean the world to me, JooHyun. You are the world to me" Her name rolled out of my tongue like it was not something new, Her name automatically was let out like I known it for years. She placed a hand on my week, it was cold but I still felt soft, she leaned closer and met her lips with mine. I can feel her emotions; Sadness, pain, agony, melancholy, regret and many other more through the kiss. She was pouring her all in that kiss. Another loud thunder roared and I saw her getting pulled away from my place, “Please listen to us, Princess JooHyun. King Bae is doing this for your own good" She was pulled away from me until I can’t see her anymore. “Forever may this love last. I love you my servant. Let's see each other in our next lives. Forever our love will last” A loud thunder roared once again and I felt myself falling. °°° My eyes opened and my breathing was not uneven, cold sweat was forming on my forehead and body. I sat up and saw a blanket covering my body, I looked around as I steady my breathing. I don’t want to experience that thing again, I'm thanatophobic. Just even the mere thought of it makes me feel anxiety, death and I don’t really go along. It hates me and I hate it. “Finally, your awake!” I heard my cousin’s voice, you never know how I want to hear that annoying voice again, it makes me feel relaxed and peaceful because I know that everything is back to normal. She went closer to my bed and I hugged her tight, I never missed this much my annoying cousin until now. “What happened to you?” “Just enjoy it, my hugs are limited edition” I can feel she rolled her eyes at me, cousin instinct. I let go of her and saw that she was frowning as she looks at me up and down. “Anything wrong?” Raising my eyebrow whenever I'm confused became a habit for me since childhood. “Who did this to you? Tell me, I'll go beat that person up. No one hurts my cousin except me!” I'll rather be killed by BoGum than be physically abused by this Ice Princess. She took a sit on the chair beside the infirmary bed that I was using and patiently waited for an answer. “Who else would, right? How did you find me anyways?” I asked her. “Well...” *FLASHBACK* KRYSTAL'S P.O.V. I was waiting for RoWoon outside the language classroom since we’re classmates, she said that she’ll get some things on her locker and it has been 10 minutes since she left and I know her locker is not that far from here. “Where the hell is she?! I don’t want to have another detention” I mumbled under my breath as I look at my phone’s clock. I'll wait for another 5 minutes and if she still didn’t come by that time, I'll go to here locker and fetch her. ·
·
·
·
· Well, what am I going to do now? ·
·
·
·
· that 5 minutes, I'll go fetch her now. I was almost close to her locker when I saw a lot of people walking away from the direction I was going to, What's happening? Grabbing one of the students, I asked what was happening and his answer made me pop my eyes out. “BoGum and RoWoon fought and I think RoWoon passed out" Saying a quick thanks to TaeMin, I ran my way to her locker and found here there, eyes closed with a lot of bruises and wounds visible on her body. ! What did he do?! “Hey RoWoon, Wake up!” I shook her and tried to wake her up but it was no use, she was still unconscious. ! ! I need to get here in the infirmary. I wrapped her arm around my shoulder and made her stand, I walked to the infirmary with me almost carrying her. We were half way there when we met ways with Irene, We had eye contact before she switched her gaze to the young woman on my side. “W-What happened to RoWoon?” She seems concerned but I doubt it. “Ask your boyfriend, I'm sure you’ll get the answer you want" I said with sarcasm in my voice. She looked puzzled from what I said but I don’t care, she needs to know what her boyfriend did to my cousin. “What do you mean, Krysyal ssi?” Wait. She used the 'ssi' on me while on my cousin she didn't, did something happen that I don’t know? I'm not against it, for your information. RoWoon can love...again. The same person or not, What’s difference anyways? I know she still likes her 'past' but again... What’s the difference? *note the sarcasm* Back to the topic... “Well, your boyfriend seemed to had beaten up my cousin while she was doing nothing to him. So now, I'm sending her to the infirmary to get her bruises cured. And please do talk to him and do something about it since your student council president, please no sugar-coating. And please excuse us, I need to get her to the Infirmary” I gave her a small smile before continuing my way. “Let me help you. On behalf of BoGum, I'm truly sorry for what he did to RoWoon, let me help you bring her to Infirmary as a sign of apology. And I'll talk to him later about this incident, Krystal ssi" Why is she so formal? Hello, we're not in s business meeting. She went to the other side and wrapped RoWoon's arm around her shoulder; Finally, I can breathe more. Both of us successfully carried my cousin to the Infirmary, she’s now lying on the bed and the nurse is treating her wounds.  “Irene ssi, can I talk to you outside" She nodded and both of us exited the room and went to talk privately outside. “First of all, thank you for helping me carry her, s
