Fallen

        This might be a dream, she told to herself but she must be lying when all she could feel is the bare emptiness in her mind and heart. These past few days felt like a dream... nightmare even. The person she thought will never leave, was gone in a blink of an eye.

        If she only knew his fate, she should have told him how much he meant for her—a family. She should have given him hugs every day. Make him laugh and smile. She did have done those things but she felt it wasn't enough.

        She doesn't feel anything more but the numbness of her soul.

        Jeongyeon hadn't muttered a word, hadn't opened her mouth to speak for she was in great grief, not only by Jinyoung's death, or Jimin's disappearance but by the thought that she had no other place to go. She doesn't know if Jihyo made it to safe haven. The place was a compete mess and there's no home to welcome her—the reason she was in this journey.

        It was madness. The world was never the same again after that day. It was never the same again.

         The color swirled before her very eyes and a sudden struck of nausea awakened her senses. The moment it appeared is the second it vanished and she was brought to a far away place—a place where she remembered him saying that will keep them safe of whatever caused the attacks.

         Taehyung felt her grasp pulled away.

        They stood there for a few seconds, letting it sink in the place where they are brought by the prince's magic. Taehyung gazed over the horizon and realized how much difference the chaos that had bound nights before compared to this. His eyes fell on the mountain ranges and felt the coldness of the wind on their skins... peacefulness, a sudden thought tugged at the corners of his mind... how? How would he find him here? In these countless infinites? And with her around?

        Taehyung gritted his teeth but a soft sound of his voice escaped his lips. "Come."

        They finally arrived.

        The northern mountains.
