Chapter 1

A Heart Sealed in Time

     Floating… is that what I’m doing you think. Looking around you there is nothing but people with partners gliding as if on air with a grace you have never seen before looking across from you, you see that even you have a partner. As you look around the hall is brightly light with candles and chandeliers but it wasn’t just an ordinary hall it was a mixture of a classic chateau and an enchanted forest. Where the classic ended the enchanted began and they just continually flowed in and out of each other. To your surprise you are also dressed for the occasion. Your hair was left to fall down around your shoulders in several loose curls, while your dress was a deep hunter green color a tight strapless made of a flowing silk towards the bottom. The only accessories you possessed were that of a silver arm band that twisted like a vine around your arm with emeralds encrusted at each end and a solitary diamond ring on your engagement finger, although it should have frighten you that it was there it put you at ease and you knew that it was in it proper place how you knew you couldn’t think of its reason but you did. You continue to look to find some explanation as to why you were here. It all seem so familiar yet foreign to you, like this was your proper place but you had never been. As you continue to glide across the floor with your no name partner everyone is suddenly switched and you are tugged into the arms of a man whose embrace seemed more familiar than your own. You look up to get a look at his face as he takes you through the motions of the waltz. “I know you” you say aloud as he spins you away and brings you back into his to him. You receive a small smile from your comment “yes my dear you do” he tells you in a gentle voice. You try to get a better look at his face but a mask hid most of the details from you. “Why do I know you” you ask again he smiles and gives you a chuckle “my sweet we are meant to be” he twirls you in and out as the dance picks up pace. The room starts to spin more and more as colors begin to blur when all of a sudden the room blacks out. You scream more out of surprise than fear because from some reason you felt safer in his arms than anywhere else in the world. The room begins to shake and his embrace on you tightens. “What’s happening” you ask as you look up although you could not see his face you knew he was looking down at you. You suddenly start to feel a strange pulling sensation on your body. “It’s time” he says calmly you look up confused “what? time for what” you ask as you do a single light is lit so that you could just make out his masked face “for you to go” you start to panic “ go go where no I don’t want to go” you say as you cling to him more. He gives you a sad smile and places a kiss on your forehead “don’t worry my love I will find you I always do” just as you wondered about that statement you feel the pulling sensation get stronger and you are ripped from his embrace. “No” you scream out as you sit up in bed. “No seriously Mel you need to get up or you will be late for school again do you want the teacher make you stand in the hallway again geez all you do is sleep how you did this in America and maintained top scores I will never understand. ”You looked dazed at your roommate as she left the room. A dream that’s all it was you think. As you sit there you try to remember it again but can only bring up fragments why was this happening lately. As you try to decipher more your room mate pops her head back in “Mel get up we’re running late” oh that’s right you jump out of bed to rush and get ready. This was only your third month being a foreign exchange student in Korea and you weren’t really making a good impression “I’m coming I’m coming” you yell out as you finished getting dressed. You see your room mate already half way to the bus stop “hey hey you lets go together” she stops and turns to glare at you as you walk up “what have I told you about balmal” that stops you crap you did it again you smile good naturedly “I’m sorry sorry its only that you know we don’t have that in American well not strictly enforced and you like only one year older my bad” her expression softens “look you know I don’t have a problem with this but I have to be strict on you cause you know others will” you nod your head in understanding “I know I know sorry” you both caught the bus just in time and head to school. When you both get there, there is a big commotion in the front “what’s going on jenni” you look to your roommate “beats me” she shrugs her shoulders. You both approach the nearest student “hey what’s going on” the girl turns around “we have new transfer students” she screams excitedly. You give her a strange look. what’s the big deal about that they certainly didn’t make this much noise when you transferred in. both you and Jenni shrug it aside and head to your own class rooms. As you get to homeroom you start to arrange your stuff as the teacher walks in the girls squeal and the guys grumble. “Alright alright settle down” the teacher speaks up you listen but don’t look up as you still unpack your stuff. “As you can all see we got one of the six new transfer students I want you all to be nice, now young man introduce yourself” the teacher asked the student “hello” just with that one word your whole body freezes. That silky soft voice you have heard it before but from where. You slowly look from your desk and you start to see what all the commotion this morning was about standing the front of the class room with the most unrealistically handsome guy you had ever seen. His beauty was something you felt could only be found in fairy tales. “My name is Yoo Young jae” as he says this he looks directly at you with a slight smirk on his face
