The Boy That I Once Knew
Description
We were kids when the darkness came for Donghae.
A story written from Hyukjae's POV
Foreword
I still remember everything about that night. The room suddenly dropped below freezing, it made the glass window splinter and crack. I remember the way Donghae's body shook, not from the sudden drop in temperature but purely out of fear.
"They're coming for me" he whispered
"Don't be stupid Donghae" I had replied "there's no such thing as ghosts"
"They aren't ghosts Hyukjae" he had said it so honestly but I remember I still laughed at him.
"Oh, then what are they?" I had
"They aren't anything..." he admitted "they're just...darkness"
"Whatever, you're just afraid of the dark"
"I am afraid of the dark Hyukjae, and you should be too"
"Nothing's going to happen to you Donghae. Darkness can't hurt you"
...
How wrong I had been...
