Lee Soohyun found herself being in a hallway. The hallway resembled one in the Moon Mansion, and Soohyun took a step forward whilst scanning at her surroundings.
There was no one around her, and silence surrounded her. Confusion filled Soohyun on why she was here, and her footsteps echoed. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest.
"h.e.l.lo! Is anyone here?" Soohyun called.
Her call met with no reply.
Being here all alone was starting to frighten Lee Soohyun, and as Soohyun continued walking, the hallway seemed to continue. It was as if there was no end to it.
The decision to open one of the doors was taken by Soohyun, and turning towards the left, Soohyun turned the k.n.o.b. The door opened with a slight push.
Stepping into the room, Lee Soohyun eyes widened. She was at a familiar storeroom. Soohyun stepped into the storeroom and stared at everything around her.
The door behind Soohyun shut all of a sudden, causing her to jump, and turning back, she tried to open the door. However, regardless of how much strength she used, the door wouldn"t budge.
The storeroom was dimly lighted, and Soohyun fear continued to increase. Being in this storeroom brought an ominous feeling to Soohyun, and she had the compulsive urge to get out of here.
Desperation played in her eyes whilst Soohyun banged the door with her fists loudly and shouted, "h.e.l.lo! Is there anyone here!? Help me!"
However, her call for help met with no response, and sweat began to form on her face. That"s when sudden coldness. .h.i.t Lee Soohyun, and she realized that the temperature was suddenly dropping.
Her body trembled as Lee Soohyun turned her back on the door. Staring at her surroundings, she searched for a escape from this place.
Cobwebs could be seen at various corners, and the dust covered the entire storeroom, making it seem as if the storeroom was not cleaned for months.
Soohyun"s palms rubbed her hand in order to soothe herself from the cold, and then, her eyes fell upon the window. The bright Moon could clearly be seen through the gla.s.s window.
Before Lee Soohyun could turn away, the window in front of her burst open. The shards of the gla.s.ses spread all throughout the room and scattered all around Soohyun. Nonetheless, Soohyun was not hurt by any one of the shards.
A gasp left Soohyun"s mouth.
Her eyes widened when she noticed that two creatures flew in through the window. Dressed in black, torn clothing, hunger flashed in their eyes as they stared upon Soohyun.
Saliva dripped down her fangs, and they licked their lips with her gruesome tongue. Their eyes showed their thirst for blood, and their faces were deadly pale. Dark circles were present beside their eyes.
Fear intensified within Lee Soohyun as she gazed upon them, and seeing that two of them flew towards her, Soohyun took a step back. Her fingers trembled.
Before the two of them could reach her, Soohyun closed her eyes and let out a scream.
As Soohyun felt nothing touch her, Soohyun opened her eyes gradually and saw that one of the creatures were frozen. Relief filled her at that.
However, as Soohyun took a step forward, she found herself standing on some liquid, and looking down, her eyes widened in horror. Red surrounded her legs, and she stood upon a pool of blood.
Frightened, Soohyun immediately jumped back, trying to get away from the blood. However, the pool of blood spread further, and whereever Soohyun went, it followed behind.
Shaking her head, Soohyun wanted to get rid of this from her mind. This definitely could not be the truth; Soohyun knew that. However, she had no idea on how to get rid of this from mind.
"Soohyun, this is just a fragment of your emotion. This can"t be real. You can get rid of this," Soohyun repeatedly mumbled.
That is when Soohyun felt someone grip her leg, and a scream left her mouth at that. Looking down, Soohyun saw that it was one of the creatures from earlier was pulling her leg.
The creature looked exactly like the one she had killed earlier. She had murdered someone. Staring at her hand, she saw that they were coloured in red. Wiping her hands against the closest thing to her, she tried to get rid of it. However, the colour wouldn"t budge.
At the same time, the creature continued to pull her eyes. Staring down, Soohyun noticed his white eyeb.a.l.l.s looking upon her, and chill went down her spine.
Kicking the creature"s hand away with her other leg, Soohyun attempted to push the creature away. However, the creature stubbornly hang up to her leg.
"You killed me!" The Creature repeated.
"Let go of me," Soohyun mumbled whilst trying her best to pull away.
Opening his mouth wide, the creature growled and pulled Soohyun towards him hardly. Soohyun found herself slipping down, and a loud scream left her mouth.
Soohyun felt someone shake her shoulders and immediately opened her eyes. Fear could be seen in her eyes, and her body trembled. Sweat dripped down her face.
"Help," Soohyun mumbled. Her eyes showed desperation and plead.
Han Minhyun shook Soohyun once again, and he vocalised, "Snap out of it, Lee Soohyun. It was just a nightmare."
Staring at Han Minhyun in front of her, Lee Soohyun blinked her eyes. Then Soohyun gazed at her hands; There was no blood upon it. Relief spread over her. Looking around her, Soohyun saw that she was not in the storeroom. A smile formed on Soohyun"s face.
Lee Soohyun wrapped her hands around Minhyun"s neck and pulled him into a hug. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest.
Han Minhyun raised his hand and patted on Soohyun"s back softly. The soft rhythmic pats of his made Soohyun feel much calmer, and Soohyun closed her eyes.
Soohyun really liked Minhyun"s embrace. Although Minhyun"s body was cold, his embrace felt really warm to Soohyun and made her feel safe.
"It was just a nightmare, Soohyun. You"re safe. I won"t let any harm come to you," Minhyun vocalised.
Soohyun nodded. Something within Soohyun made her want to trust those words of Minhyun wholeheartedly.
"You feel really warm, Minhyun-ah. It feels good and is addicting," Soohyun mumbled.
