"What is this place?" The girl asks, looking around the area with awe.
A man wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a yellow shirt walks up beside her, a baseball cap on his brown locks. "This is SHINee world. A place where you don't have to worry about...
Faint sounds of raindrops consume the minds of the two in the infirmary. The small droplets slide down the windows, two almost look they are racing each other. The day is dreary for sure. It has been raining since the night before. The sun is barely visible, under the clouds. It's almost as if it can tell the day was saddening.
A soft breath leaves one of the twins, it being the older one who watches the raindrops. His shoulder has been taking care of, a bandage securely wrapped around his upper body. He leans back against the pillows, closing his eyes for a moment. Jungkook is still out cold, a blanket covering him as he sleeps. He has gained some color back to his face, his chest rising up and down.
Taehyung brings his gaze to the door when it starts to open. The white king walks in, worry etched onto his handsome features. He approaches the two, his gaze wondering over to the younger who is sleeping. He moves his eyes back to Taehyung, walking over to take a seat. "How are you feeling, Tae?" The other shrugs, wincing at the movement.
"I'm okay," he looks to the younger, "I just want Kookie to wake up so I know he's okay." The leader leans over, patting the singer's thigh with a sad smile. "He will be okay. Jungkookie is a strong person." Taehyung nods, looking at the younger with concern.

She releases a sigh, sitting down onto the couch with her phone. The others were speaking in another room, not letting her be present. That left her scrolling through social media, humming softly. Maybe she will finally get to go see Kookie and Tae today. Hopefully.
Hours pass. Ally decides to turn the tv on, wrapping a blanket around her as she watches the show that's on. She's quite content, not knowing when the others will return to the living room. A few minutes pass when she feels the couch sink down beside her. She looks up, seeing Jimin. He gives her a small smile, folding his legs underneath himself.
"Do you want to ride with us out to the red of hearts kingdom?"
She nods, a huge smile appearing on her face. "Of course!" He pats her shoulder, waving at the stairs. "Go put on proper clothing. We will most likely take the horses." She gets up, heading to the staircase. She stops for a moment, needing to think on what clothes would be the most suitable. Ally grabs a pair of jeans, not skinny because she wants to be comfortable. She grabs a t-shirt and walks back out of the closet, laying them out on her bed. She changes into the clothes and puts her nightwear into the dresser.
She grabs a brush to brush her hair out and pull it up. It made things be less messy. She grabs a pair of boots, her phone and a jacket before going down the stairs. Jimin, Hoseok and Minho were all standing at the door. The youngest of the three looks up, giving her a smile and a thumbs up. She pulls the boots on, making sure they fit well and slides her jacket on. "Now, it is raining. Not too much that you will get drenched. Just be careful out there."
Jonghyun gave each of them a look, sounding almost like a worried mother. She smiles at the older and walks forward, hugging him. He hugs back, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Be careful, Ally. I trust the others to watch after you. I think they were going to let you ride with Minho." She nods, stepping back. "We will be safe, Jonghyun. No need to worry." He nods, patting her shoulder.
They all head out, Minho leading the way to some stables not too far from the residence. A few horses are inside, eating some hay placed in there. The red knight walks to a black mare, petting its head softly and speaking to it with a soft voice. He lets the horse out, leading it out. Hoseok and Jimin do the same, the two riding together. As they saddle up, she stands to the side and watches. Her mind goes back to the dreams she was having. The dark room being the focus point.
Perhaps going to the red of hearts palace was not a good idea. She lets out a shaky breath, having a bad feeling.
-
Two hours have passed. The four have been on the path towards the kingdom. She sits on the horse behind Minho, holding gently onto his waist. She hasn't spoken much, letting the others speak.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shoots through her head and she gently pulls on Minho's shirt. "Minho, we need to take cover." That's the first words she says, knowing something bad is going to happen. He doesn't question it, calling for Hoseok to follow him. He turns off the path, ushering the horse to go faster. A cave up ahead, providing security. Ji young stands outside of it, having just appeared.
A loud shrill sound fills the air. The screams are deafening but the pain in her head is worse. She lets out a choked sob, her grip tightening onto the idol in front of her. They reach the cave. He jumps off and turns around to help her.
"Guys! Watch out!" An arrow goes flying through the air, her eyes widening. Minho unsheathes his sword, going to block it. She pushes him aside, taking the arrow to her shoulder. She expects pain to blossom throughout her body, but it doesn't. She hears shouts from the others but she's too focus on the sight in front of her. "There's more coming."
She pulls the others into the cave, a small whisper in her head. "You know you're different, Ally. That's why you were called here."
"They can't reach us in here. We are okay," she responds to the others. The horses were behind them, safe as well. The pain suddenly shoots through her arm. "Uh.. do we have medical supplies with us?" She questions, looking at the others. Jimin nods, sitting down in front of her. She slides the shirt down some.
"This is going to hurt. A lot." She nods. Minho takes one of her hands into his, holding onto it softly. "Just use my hand to grip onto." She lets out a deep breath, nodding at Jimin once more. "On the count of three. One...Two..." he pulls it out, quickly. Her screams fill the air.

"I thought Jimin and Hobi Hyung were going to come," Taehyung pouts, sitting on the edge of his bed now. The white king chuckles softly.
"They will be here soon. You should be laying down, not complaining." The younger scoffs and goes to fold his arms over his chest. A pain shoots across his shoulder. The older can't help but laugh. "Hyungggg.. it's not funny."
He shrugs, a smile still evident. "It kinda was." The two continue to bicker when movement is heard coming from Jungkook. Movement under his eyes seems to increase and his fingers move a little. He is trying to wake up. The other two turn their attention to him, suddenly concerned.
His eyes finally start to open.
