Sungyeol’s POV:

Where am I?

Where is this place?

Why is this place so cold?

Mommy? Daddy?

Help! I’m lost! H-Help…

“ Hyung! Hyung! HYUNG!” I woke up with a startle. My body was shivering nonstop, but at the same time I was drenched with sweat. I jumped when a hand touched my shoulder.

“ Hyung, are you alright?” My head turned around to see Chanyeol standing next to me. Behind him was Baekhyun who looked a bit scared. I drove my hand through my hair and took a deep breath.

“ Yeah I’m okay.”

“ Liar. You were screaming for help! Hyung, did you have a nightmare?” I thought about it. Was it a nightmare? Even I don’t know myself.

“ I-I don’t know. I can’t tell whether it was a nightmare… or something else.”

“ Hyung…” I shook my head and smiled. I got up from the bed and grabbed my towel.

“ Don’t worry about it Chanyeol. How about you and Baekhyun go eat breakfast first while I’m getting ready?” I knew Chanyeol didn’t belive me one bit, but he knows better. He knows when not to pry further into my problems.

“ O-Okay. Let’s go Baekhyun-hyung.”

Both of them left my room and I went to the bathroom to wash up. I the shower and let the water wash away my sweat. The warmth of the water got me to stop shivering and I could finally breathe a bit better. Then after I was done taking a shower, I wrapped the towel around my waist, and brushed my teeth quickly. I went back to my room afterwards to dry myself up. I put on some clothes and went back to the bathroom to style my hair. Next I went downstairs to get the two of them to go to school.

“ Chanyeol! Baekhyun! We have to go to the university now! Hurry- Oh, what is this?” Right in front of me was an omelet with a side of fruits on a plate. Chanyeol came towards me, pushed me towards the dining table, and sat me down.

“ Sungyeol-hyung, I know what happened yesterday must have freaked you out a bit, so I wanted to make you breakfast. Well, actually Baekhyun-hyung made the omelet while I cut up the fruits. I hope you enjoy it.”

“ Thank you Chanyeol,” then I looked at Baekhyun, “ Thank you Baekhyun.” I digged into my breakfast and it tasted delicious! Baekhyun cooks really well unlike Chanyeol. I have to give him props to him for cutting the fruits even though that does sound a bit ridiculous. At least they tasted fresh. Once I finished eating the food they made for me, I put the dishes into the sink.

“ Let’s go to school now or else we will be late.”

I grabbed the car keys from the table and we headed out to the car. The two of them sat in the back while I drove to school. I don’t have class for another hour but Chanyeol and Baekhyun have class in thirty minutes. When we got to the parking lot, I went to drop them off first, and then went to go park somewhere else. I got out of the car and decided to go to the library until my class started.

The library was quite empty when I got there. I like being by myself anyway. I chose my usual spot that is on the third floor all the way at the corner. I took out my chemistry textbook to study and put on my headphones. I my iPod and study until it was time to go to class. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, but I could feel a presence get closer to me. The presence was terrifying instead it was calm and comforting. There was a tap on my shoulder, and I slowly opened my eyes. My eyes widened because standing before me is Sungjong-sshi.

“ S-Sungjong-sshi, what are you doing here?”

“ My brother wanted me to return this to you.” He held out his hand and out came my necklace. I touched my neck and realized it wasn’t there. I took my necklace from him and was grateful that it was in good hands.

“ Thank you so much! I didn’t realize that I lost it yesterday. Thank your brother for me later, okay?”

“ Actually maybe you can thank him later.”

“ Huh?” Sungjong-sshi smiled at me and left the library. I was still confused as to what he said. What did he mean I could thank him later?

Wait! Why was Sungjong-sshi here? Why is he here? Does he go to school here too? I don’t ever remember seeing him, though.

I shook the thought away and packed my stuff into my backpack. People passed by me as I passed by them, not even caring who they are. These people weren’t important to me. All I need to focus is on school and get a good job in the future. I don’t want to disappoint my dad and mom because they have given me so much, and I feel like I haven’t done anything for them. When I passed by the huge tree that is in the center of the school, a shiver went down my spine. I stopped walking and look around. There was nobody but me, and it sort of freaked me out. Let’s just say I’m paying more attention to my surroundings because of what happened yesterday. I shook off the feeling and continued to my class. Then I felt it once again.

Who the heck is here? If you don’t want to come out then just leave me alone!

I waited for a few minutes until somebody came out but nobody came out. I gave up after a while and proceeded back to class. Once I got to class, I sat down in my seat that is in the way back. Slowly, students started to file into class, but I ignored them. As they came in I took out my chemistry textbook and studied. The only reason why I did that was because it would make it look like I was busy. Class was going to start in a few minutes, and from the corner of my eye, somebody sat down next to me. The thing is, I’m in chemistry right now and our tables are lab tables. That means each lab table has two people at a table. Then that means I would have somebody sit next to me. There was a tap on my shoulder, and I whipped my head around. I almost jumped because I didn’t expect for this person to be here.

“ M-Myungsoo-sshi…” I took off my headphones and placed them on the table.

“ Hello Sungyeol-sshi. Did my brother give you your necklace back?”

“ Y-Yeah he did. Thank you very much for finding it! I didn’t notice that it disappeared. The necklace is really important to me so thank you!”

“ It’s okay. I’m glad that it is back in the owner’s hand.” I heard some whispers around me, and I noticed that everyone in the class was looking at me. I don’t get why as to they were looking at me, or to be more exact us, but I didn’t like it one bit. The professor came in and class started soon after.

“ Okay everybody sit in your seats! Class is about to start!”

-------------------------------------------------------

“ Myun-“ Myungsoo-sshi left class right when it was over. I don’t know why but for some reason it felt like I got the cold shoulder. I just let it go and proceeded to my next class. My next class is literature, and I don’t really pay attention in that class. Class wasn’t going to start for another thirty minutes, so I decided to quickly get a snack from the café. When I got in line, my head started to hurt. I turned around to see who it was, but it was some guy with caramel brown hair that I have never seen before. He was eying me too so I quickly turned my head back to the front.

Why is my head hurting again?

“ Hyung, stop it.”

I jumped when I heard the voice. I scanned the room to see if anybody said anything, but there wasn’t. My head started to hurt again, but then it calmed down after a few seconds. It felt like somebody was relieving the pain for me. It was my turn next in line and I got myself a muffin and an Americano. I paid for my food and then quickly got out of there as fast as possible. Right when I stepped outside, an image of falling snow appeared in my head. My arms went limp and before I knew it, my muffin and drink fell out of my hand. It was as if everything was going in slow motion, until a person was holding out my muffin and drink.

“ You should be more careful next time, Sungyeol-sshi.” The person who was holding onto my food and drink was the person who was standing behind me in the line. I didn’t know what to do because everything in my mind was all jumbled up. I regained my senses after a few seconds, and slowly grabbed my muffin and Americano.

“ T-Thank you.” He shook his head at me and smiled.

“ No problem. My name is Kim Sunggyu. I’m a senior here.”

“ Hello, my name is Lee Sungyeol, and I’m a sophomore.” For a second there I thought I saw his eyes turn red.

“ It was nice meeting you Sungyeol-ssshi. Be careful not to drop your drink again okay?” I nodded my head as he walked away from me. I stood there until he was gone and then went to my next class, which was going to start in ten minutes if I didn’t hurry up. I sprinted to my class hoping that the class wouldn’t have started by the time I got there.

--------------------------------------------------------

My literature class finally ended and I only had one more class to go. My next class is my last one for today and it’s photography. Photography is one of my favorite classes, but I don’t have a reason why. I just like the class for what it is. When I arrived to class, I was ten minutes early. I decided to close my eyes for a few minutes until class began. It wouldn’t hurt to catch a few minutes of sleep right?

-------------------------------------------------------

“ What are you?”

“ I’m a wolf. Can’t you tell?”

“ Yes I can tell, but I have never met a wolf where I could talk through the mind.”

“ Really? That’s weird because I can talk to my other family members.” I scratched my head as to why that was.

“ Oh I see…” The wolf came closer and sniffed me. It tickled and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“ Haha, stop it! It tickles!” He backs away immediately and our eyes met. The wolf’s red eyes met with my boring brown eyes.

“ S-Sorry…” I shook my head at him.

“ It’s okay! Oh, yeah, what is your name?” Step by step the wolf came closer, but started to change. The wolf wasn’t a wolf anymore but started to form into a boy just like me.

“ My name is…”

“ Sungyeol-sshi, class is about to start soon. You have to wake up.”

I woke up with an alert and almost fell out of my seat. I looked around to see where I was and remembered I was in photography class. Then I realized that right in front of me was Myungsoo-sshi. My body flew back on it’s own which caused me to fall out of my chair. I swear I heard a chuckle from him but then his expression turned all cold and distant. I don’t why I was still sitting on the ground for. Maybe it was because I was waiting for Myungsoo-sshi to help me though it didn’t seem possible. I stood up by myself and dusted the nonexistent dust off my pants and shirt. When I sat down back in my seat, the teacher finally came and started class.

The whole entire time the teacher was talking, I couldn’t help but feel to look at Myungsoo-sshi. Which reminds me, why is he even in my class? I don’t ever remember him being in my class before. To be honest though, I don’t really remember seeing most of the students here in my class. I don’t interact with others as much because I’m a bit too shy to say anything. Also sometimes I don’t feel like I fit with the other students here either. It’s as if there is something missing, but I just can’t figure it out. I’m still quite shocked that Myungsoo-sshi goes to the same university as I do. If that were true then he would have been in the same class as I when the entire freshman came here. I hit my head realizing that Myungsoo-sshi and I have been going to the same school for the last three years, but have never noticed him. Though, again, I don’t notice most of the other students too.

“ Sungyeol-sshi, please stop staring at me.” Myungsoo was looking straight at me and I didn’t even notice that.

“ S-Sorry.” I looked away immediately and tried to focus on the lecture for the rest of the time.

While I let my eyes drift off during class, I met a person’s gaze. She has long, wavy, black hair, her eyes are big, and has the perfect body. It’s what every man wants in a girl, but I couldn’t help but feel off when I looked at her. It was as if she was trying to kill me through her eyes. Then all of a sudden her eyes changed to black. I rubbed my eyes, and then she wasn’t looking back here. When I looked down at notebook, I felt her eyes on me again. I looked up again, and our eyes met, though the feeling was much more sinister. My head started to hurt again, and my body was beginning to get weak. Second by second, I could feel myself fall to succumb to the darkness.

Somebody help me. I feel like I can’t breathe.

“ Take a deep breath. I will help you.”

Whose voice is that? Why does is sound so familiar?

I could see a light, and the pain started to fade away. It was as if the light was pulling me out of the darkness. When the pain subsided, I let go of my head, and looked back at the girl. The sinister feeling disappeared, but I still couldn’t shake the feeling off. There was this feeling that I shouldn’t get close to her at all. Even being in the same room gives me the creeps. Though the one thing that is bothering me now is the voice I heard in my head. It sounded so familiar, but so cold. I couldn’t recognize whose voice it was. It felt near, though. The voice sounded so close yet so far. Whoever’s voice it is: it helped me get out of that situation. Now I know for sure whose eyes to avoid.

As class finally ended, I made sure I was the first one to get out. Even though I wanted to talk to Myungsoo-sshi, I just couldn’t risk it. I didn’t want to be near her one bit. Heck, I didn’t want to be in the same room or breathe the same air as her. Luckily, it was my last class for the day and I just had to wait for Chanyeol and Baekhyun to get done with their class. I thought about going to the library to study for a little bit, but then I changed my mind when I saw the girl go into the library. Instead I went towards the garden they have at the university. The garden wasn’t big, but it was beautiful in its own way. There is a little fountain in the middle of the garden, and it’s surrounded with flowers. As I touched one of the flowers, an image flashed through my mind. Snow was falling, a woman was holding a snowdrop, and something clear fell from her face. The image disappeared in s second, and I fell to the ground. When I looked at the ground, there were a few snowflakes. It’s only the beginning of fall yet it was snowing already?

RING RING RING

I took out my phone and answered the call.

“ Hello?”

“ Sungyeol-hyung, you finally answer your phone! I have been calling you for the past few minutes!” I rubbed my head in pain and took a deep breath. Chanyeol doesn't have to yell into the phone especially when my head was hurting earlier.

I didn’t hear him calling a few minutes ago?

“ Sorry, I didn’t hear my phone. What do you need Chanyeol?”

“ Oh yeah! I’m going to stay over at Baekhyun-hyung’s place because we have a project to do together.”

“ What about your clothes?”

“ I have some clothes at his house.” I was going to ask why he had clothes at Baekhyun’s place but decided to drop it.

 “ Alright, but don’t cause a mess over there. I don’t want you causing trouble for Mrs. Byun.”

“ I promise I won’t! I will see you tomorrow! Bye hyung!”

“ Bye Chanyeol.” He hung up on me, and I put my phone back in my pocket. I picked up my backpack and was going to walk out of the garden until somebody stopped me.

“ Are you better now? I saw you clenching your head in class.” I looked up to meet their eyes, and I felt a little pang in my head.

“ Yeah, I’m alright. Well, I’m going to go…” I started to walk pass her, but then she grabbed my arm. Then she came up to me and sniffed my hand.

“ You smell… really… nice.” I pulled my arm away from her and ran back to the car. I turned the engine on, and drove back home. I was not going to stay there any longer that I was supposed to. Now, I was totally freaked out, and was afraid of going back to school. Whoever she is: I'm going to stay faraway from her, though it won't help since I have photography with her. It totally freaked me out how she sniffed my hand as if I was some sort of... food. You life , Lee Sungyeol.

Nobody’s POV:

“ Leave him alone.” The girl turned around to be met with another person. His eyes were flashing a deep red, and he was angry as heck. She crept up closer to him and dragged her finger along his jawline.

“ Now, why should I? What is he to you? I can just eat him up you know.” He swatted her hand away from his face and shoved her to the ground. He growled at her face and grabbed her neck.

“ Don’t you ever get near him. I don’t have any connections with him, but I won’t let an innocent human get hurt in anyway. Also knowing you, you would do anything to get some meat. If you dare get near him: I will kill you.” He let go of her neck and got up. As he started to walk away, she appeared right before him.

“ I will be careful with those kind of threats. Let’s just say, I know something that you don’t, and if you kill me, you won’t be able to know that secret.” She took a few steps back and then disappeared suddenly. Another figure appeared and patted the other’s shoulders.

“ What should I do? I don’t want to do that to him.”

“ You won’t have to. I will help you to make sure that doesn’t happen. Let’s go home.”

The two of them left, but there was still a feeling of a darkness that filled the air. Though in that darkness, there is a light that is hidden between the folds of darkness. There is a consequence if the light were to be awakened, though, nobody knows of that consequence… yet.
