"it's an illusion
but i want
to live like
this forever.
this was when
i was happy,
but it's only
an illusion."-third person pov-
that night, seohyun stayed on the beach to take her mind off things. her head was swarming with questions about nearly everything and everyone.
there were things she was afraid to know, things she wanted to know, things that she didn't want to know but was curious; so many things were on her mind.
the sun began to set while she sat on the sand. the sky was painted a pastel blue, pink and purple. the sky was clear but only few clouds were left remaining. like any other day, the water came up to the shore and back away.
the evening wasn't exactly cold but it wasn't warm either.
she looked down at the chain necklace that hung around her neck, she looked down at the pendant that hung in the middle.
a red tulip
looking down at the tulip pendant, she noticed a small shine in it. almost as if a spark of fire came out of it, the pendant flashed a bright red-orange hue.
the sudden flash of light confused seohyun but she decided not to think too hard about it.
time began to pass but tonight, time felt a lot slower than usual. maybe it was because she was bored that time went by slowly; that's what she assumed.
although seohyun hadn't realised, a tall and slim figure walked to seohyun from behind. seohyun continued to sit there; clueless of the presence behind her.
it progressively got closer, and closer as the seconds went by. as it stepped right behind her back, seohyun noticed the shadow that grew over her. she turned around and the slim figure placed it's hand on the top of seohyun's head; making her drift off into deep sleep.
leaning down to seohyun who was now asleep on the sand; it whispered two words into her ear.
"joseon dynasty."

minho was resting in hell when he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his chest. wincing at the sudden and unexpected pain, he grips onto the material of his shirt and falls to his knees."s-seohyun.." he mutters quietly.
the same slim and tall figure appeared in front of minho.
"w-where is s-she..?" minho asked while backing away from the creature. he knew exactly what it was.
it didn't have a name but it's the kind of creature that makes you go through illusions of your fears, past, nightmares; anything. it puts you to deep sleep and the way to wake up is possibly unknown.
the creature charges to minho at lightning speed and places it's hand on his head. seeing as minho fell to the ground into deep sleep; it whispers the same two words into minho's ears.
