This pain… My eyes are flickering. I must have been unconscious. My chest is burning. Urgh… what… what happened?

“So, are you awake?”, her voice is echoing loudly, “Don’t worry, you won’t die yet.”

I’m clearing my throat. Trying to open my eyes, but I still feel dizzy, and my stomach is turning too. It doesn’t take long for me to bend over and vomit.

“Yuck!”, she’s dreading, “Aren’t we feeling well?”

I can’t stop vomiting. Every time I’m puking, my chest is burning like crazy. I’m clenching my chest, just to feel something wet. I’m glancing down on my hand, just to realize blood. Hella lot of blood.
What happened?! I’m trembling and my head is spinning more and more now.

“I removed your tattoo, sweet Hero Jaejoong!”, she’s telling me and laughing like a psycho.

She did what?! What the hell? She can’t be serious! I… I think I’m going to pass out again. I can’t think straight. Suddenly she is slapping me. She wants me to stay conscious.

“W… What is your problem, Shura?”, I’m asking the crazy woman.

My lips are trembling, and my chest is hurting a lot. I feel the blood dripping to the ground. I’ll admit, I’m really afraid of her.

“We are waiting for your beloved one, for Yunho”, she’s letting me know, “I want him to watch you die.”

What the hell is this?! Please, dear Lord, don’t let Yunho find me. Please, make him leave this horrible place!

“If… if… if you want to kill me, just… just do it already…”, I’m ordering.

My breath is becoming heavier each and every single one I take in and out. I can’t keep my eyes open. Where am I? It’s cold and it’s echoing a lot in here. There are small torches on the walls, lightening up the place a little bit. Wait, is this a cave? How did I get here? I was following Changmin into the woods… How did I end up here? Uh! I remember, Shura knocked me over. She must have dragged me in here. Changmin… Where is he? I hope he’s ok! Dear Lord, please keep him and the others safe! Please!

“I can’t believe that you are still protecting the others.”, she’s suddenly laughing at me, “You are really pathetic!”

I’m gulping. I can taste blood. She must have cut deep into my skin. Why am I tasting blood though? My chest wouldn't make me taste blood...am I wrong? Right, she knocked me out in the woods, that must be it. Dammit, ok, don’t panic, it’s going to be ok. It’s going to be ok. I should stay calm. Always keep the faith, always… keep… the…

“There he goes again”, Shura is saying and slapping me harder this time, “Don’t you dare passing out now that I can hear him. Yunho is nearby. In fact, he is standing behind this wall. He’s not going to find an entrance.”

Yunho. My beloved one, my one and only. Please go away… please don’t come here…

“Jaejoong!”, his voice is calling for me.

Oh no, please don’t. Please leave… I don’t want him to be in danger just because of me. He needs to be safe!

“Do you hear that?”, Shura is asking me, “He’s here, but he can’t see you through the wall.”

I’m pushing my body up, my arms are shaking, and my stomach is still turning. I need to get up, I need to get up and get out of here before Yunho gets into trouble.

“How… how did you get here, Shura?”, I’m asking her with a trembling and raspy voice, “I thought you died… you turned into thousands of tiny red lights… in my arms after your… your apology…”

I need to buy time! Come on Jaejoong, think! Where can I escape from?!
I'm looking left and right, up and down, but there really is no escape. !

“Huh… I told you before, didn’t I?”, she’s answering calmly, “Your spirit-friend turned me into this! You couldn’t make him stay, so it’s my turn now. He was there t
