9 | Nightmare

Like A Fire

Myung Soo stood outside Woo Hyun's room, still in a dilemma to whether go inside or not. That was when he heard the strange sound. The once rhythmic beeps weren't rhythmic anymore. Instead, it was rushing.

 

"Woo Hyun-ah!" He dropped his dilemma and ran inside, noticing the heart monitor racing. He knew it wasn't normal. He ran outside to call the doctor, but as he stepped out of the room, the beeps returned back to normal. Confused, he looked at the heart monitor, only to see it working normally.

 

"You never fail to scare.." He muttered as a small chuckle escaped his mouth. "You never fail to scare us, even in this condition..."

~-~-~-~-~

Woo Hyun

 

"I'm home~!" I heard Hyun Mi's and Hyun Woo's voice together, and got up. After that disturbing dream, I went back to sleep, and accidentally slept for a long time.

 

"Ah... You came" I said as I got up, letting place for them to sit.

 

"How was your class trip?" Hyun Mi asked Hyun Woo. Realizing I was the odd one out in between them.

 

"It was fun...! We did a lot of things! But I noticed this peculiar house inside the woods..."

 

"House?"

 

"Yeah, someone is living in there! I'm sure I saw someone inside..."

 

"Well, why do you need to care? We shouldn't meddle with others" It was just too awkward. I silently walked out, not wanting to stay there anymore. As I strolled through the neighborhood, I noticed this peculiar house. It looked abandoned, and exactly like a haunted house with the moon shining on it in the most eeriest way possible, but something about it made me want to explore it. It just had this.... this comfy, at home type of feeling, besides the eeriness of it. 

 

I stepped inside, taking careful steps. The place was huge. It was literally a palace! A broken-down palace, to be exact. As I stood in the middle of the huge hall, I heard a loud thud, and turned around to see the door close by itself.

 

"Hey- Wait! No!" I shouted, but there wasn't any use. I was locked inside. And there wasn't any other way out. Locked inside, with no other way out, I decided to explore the house before finding a way out. Maybe there was some secret passage inside the house... Who knows? I went more inside, deciding to explore the house while finding another exit. As I went inside every room, something felt warm; like I was at home.

 

After going around a bit, I went up the first floor. There was this huge door to my left, and I opted to open it first. As soon as I touched the door, flashes went before my eyes. A sudden pain emerged in my head, and I couldn't do anything.

 

"Appa!" I hugged someone. I pulled away to see my Father smiling at me. Again, it's like I'm seeing myself.

 

"You have grown son much since the last time I saw you, Woo Hyun-ah.." He sighed, patting my back.

 

"That's because you're always outside at wars... When was the last time you saw him? I forgot" My Mother chuckled. I was confused: Does my Mother and Father exist in this world too?

 

"At least I can rest for–" He didn't even completed the sentence, and someone came in and whispered something in his ear.

 

"What? The Immortals are planning an attack?!" I looked at my self now : I looked worried, and partly annoyed.

 

"Woo Hyun-ah, I want you to battle with us in the battle field, I'm sure you can fight the immortals" Now, I was smiling like crazy.

 

"Really? Thanks Appa!" I said and hugged him really tight. The scene then started swirling.

 

"G-Gah..!" I tried to endure the pain, but it just grew too much. I couldn't even stand properly. Leaning against the door, I sat down the pain now slowly subsiding. I couldn't even see what was ahead of me; the pain was too much.

 

After the pain subsided a bit, I got up and opened the door, going inside. Again, I got this feeling, but it wasn't the same comfy feeling at all. It was depressing; so depressing to the point that I actually started crying. I then noticed something brown splattered on the mirror. It was a deep shade of brown, almost like dried blood. I looked down at the floor, confused about what was happening.

 

"So... We meet again" I heard my own voice, but I wasn't talking. I looked up, only to see myself, but differently– 'I' was wearing a completely black cloak, and had that devilish hint to 'my' smile. 'My' eyes were glowing fiery red, almost like a ruby. This wasn't me at all.

 

"Who are you?" I managed to ask, still shocked.

 

"I am you" 'I' simply replied. It was weird, but there was something intimidating about my reflection.

 

"What do you want from me?" I asked, now a bit less scared.

 

"Nothing" 'I' shrugged, a casual look on 'my' face. "It's been centuries since I last you. And better prepare yourself for the future, Nam Woo Hyun" 'I' stressed my name a bit harder than usual, like mocking my name.

 

"Prepare? What do you mean? Hey, wait! Explain me!" I shouted after my own reflection which disappeared. I banged on the mirror, which broke and fel to pieces. I was injured, but that wasn't the point now. I just talked to myself which wasn't exactly myself.

 

"Am I getting insane?" I asked to myself, freaked out on what happened. "Screw this, I'm OUT!" I ran out of the room, and straight away to the entrance. I didn't stop even for a second.

 

"Woo Hyun!" I heard Hyun Mi's voice, and ran towards the direction of the voice. It's a surprise that I recognized her voice this soon... It took me almost three months to recognize Sung Gyu-hyung's voice!

 

"Hyun Mi!" I ran to her and hugged her real tight, not caring about anything else. I was completely freaked out.

 

Hyun Mi

 

"U-Uh.. Woo Hyun..." I could only whisper with that death hug of his. My cheeks were probably completely red by now. I just came to search for him since he went out without telling to any of us, I never expected him to hug me. I then noticed he was sweating too much.

 

"W-Where were you?" I tried to pull away from the air-blocking awkward hug, but he didn't let me go.

 

"Please.." I heard him. Was he.. pleading?

 

"Umm.. Woo Hyun, let's go home.." I said, and somehow forced myself out of his hug. He looked scared about something. I wonder what happened with him..
