Beach

"You like beaches?"

Dami nodded, "They're okay."

"Then you're in luck. There's an amazing beach nearby, we're going tomorrow. You can come."

Dami crinkled her eyebrows, "We?"

SuA came sat down on her bed, "I met two cute guys around our age, how old are you?"

"24."

"Really? Well then you're a bit young. The guys are around my age and we're going tomorrow."

Dami turned away towards the piece of paper she had in her lap, "You know you shouldn't talk to strangers."

SuA chuckled, "Seriously, it's fine. I'm not dumb."

Sleep came quickly rushing over them as smoothly as the waves that lapped over Yoohyeon's feet. It was the next day and the seven were at the beach. It was just as nice as the two guys had described it. The warm sun really made the sand glow and it wasn't gritty but smooth to sit and lie down on.

"This is nice. I've never been to a beach like this before." Handong lied back wearing a cropped baggy shirt and shorts that were once perfect trousers. The look suited her and at least she wasn't heating up.

"Same. It's nice and warm." Yoohyeon tapped her feet at the water. "The water's cool."

Handong looked at the soft blue waves, "I'd rather not."

"Suit yourself." Yoohyeon stood up and let the sea gather around her. It was all so calm and peaceful. But the peace was interrupted by a laugh.

SuA's laugh that came closer along with a deeper one that came from a tall handsome man. He had sharp blue eyes and a bristle beard. He wore a bright yellow t shirt and green shorts. He smiled at Yoohyeon and showed a clean array of shining white teeth.

Handong chuckled, "Fancy him?"

Yoohyeon didn't take her gaze off, and then something snapped her out, "No. It's just... I don't know, he looks familiar. I think."

Yoohyeon strolled out of the water towards them.

"Hi, there. I'm Theo. You okay?"

Yoohyeon nodded, she didn't know him. "Yeah, you?"

"Doing well. You know me and SuA have got a lot in common. We both hate cheese, favourite colour's red. And-" He took off his shirt and wrapped it neatly, "I'm sure you'd love the water. It's not too warm or cold."

He grabbed her hand but Yoohyeon had already pulled her away, "Where's JiU? And Dami? Gahyeon?"

SuA shrugged, "Go look for them."

Yoohyeon looked around, there were already so many people about rushing here and there. But there was one woman with dark brown hair and mesmerising smile that she spotted by a window. The window was part of a cafe on the side of the beach. Found them.

"Guys. We're in trouble. I think I can sense it."

JiU and Gahyeon looked at Yoohyeon and Dami. They looked at each other after saying the same words.

"What was that? Are you two telepathic?"

At the same time again they both shook their heads and answered "No."

"Are you sure?" Gahyeon asked.

Dami nodded but Yoohyeon pointed outside. "There, that guy. He seems too perfect."

"That's just judgemental. He's good looking but he might be nice."

Yoohyeon glared and looked at Dami, "What other trouble are we in?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I've just got a weird feeling. Maybe we're going to die again today." Dami barely whispered her last sentence, "It feels like that."

JiU lightened them up, "Don't worry, it'll be impossible for that to happen. There are no dangers anywhere around us."

Yoohyeon looked back out of the window, at SuA splashing about happily, at the 'too perfect guy' and as they held hands she watched a strange smoke blossom from SuA's hand and engulf her body.

"GUYS!"
