( Jungwon POV )
" You can sleep first if you want. I'll wake you up when we arrive. " I said when I noticed Sunoo is trying hard not to fall asleep.
" Yeah...thanks. " Sunoo said and close his fox-like eyes.
" How can you be so cute? " I mumbled and focusing on my driving.
< Time skip >
I park my car and wake sunoo up. His eyes look puffy and it makes him so cute.
" We've arrive? " He asked as soon as he wake up.
" Yup. Jake must be waiting for us. Let's go. " I said while dragging a big luggage. Sunoo following me from behind. He must be excited because he loves nature so much. The actually intuition I bring him here because he just broke up with his boyfriend. He look very sad and devastated. He doesn't go out from his room for like 2 weeks straight. And the worst thing is he got eliminated because of his absent. It was his dream job to become a singer. He looks very happy outside but inside...Only god knows how much struggle he have.
So, as his best friend, I, Yang Jungwon, bring him to a vacation which is a luxury hotel surrounded by nature.
" We're here! " I said excitedly. In front of the building, Jake was waiting for us with a wide smile.
" Omo! Jungwoniee~! I'm happy to see you! " He said with an opened arms. Me, without hesitation hug him tightly.
" It have been 2 years, my friend. " He said and pat the back of my head.
" And a lot of things have changed. " I said and loosen the hug.
" Yup and who's this cutie? " He said referring to Sunoo. Sunoo shrieked shyly and hid his pink cheeks.
" He's Kim Sunoo. Prince of aegyo. " I said and chuckled a little bit at Sunoo's cute behavior.
" Hi~ my name is ddeonu! " Sunoo said cutely.
" Why are you so cute?~ " Jake said and pinch Sunoo's dumpling cheeks.
" Hehe, thanks..uh..what is your name? "
" My korean name is Sim Jaeyun and my english name is Jake. I'm Korean-Australian. Sorry for not introducing myself properly. "
" No, no! It's okay! No need to sorry. " Sunoo said, reassuring Jake.
" So, what are we waiting for? Let's check in and go to your room. " Jake speak up and we entered the luxury hotel.
As soon as I steps in inside, I was greeted by a growling cream border collie. The dog was in his/her attack position. I'm a little bit scared because this dog can attack me anytime.
" Layla, no. Don't do that. " Jake speak in english with australia accent. Layla surprisingly obey him and sit down quietly.
While Jake dealing with his dog, I look around and eyeing every portraits that was hanging on the wall. And one of them really catching my eyes. So, I walk closer to the portrait and look at the drawing.
' Pretty ', I thought.
But then I realized.
Why was myself inside this portrait?
With Jake and Sunoo.
And another unfamiliar person.
1800?
I was born in 2004...
Maybe it's not me?
But why is ' me ' inside this picture really look like me, who was looking this picture?
I'm starting to freaked out. I can feel my hand hair is standing.
' Maybe it's just a coincidence? ' I thought. But deep inside me, I know something wrong is happening.
I look at the portrait again and this time it change. I fell down on my bum, my hands dragging my weak body to back up from the portrait. The portrait look alive.
" Jake! Jake! L–look at t..this portrait! " I shouted, but he and Sunoo are nowhere to be seen.
Where did everyone go?
Am I...Alone?
" Nice to meet you again, Jungwon. " Someone said, loud enough to make my body hair stand.
I look around and saw someone standing on the stairs, looking at me with his red eyes.
" W–who are you? " I stuttered, his red eyes was staring right into my soul. I try to stand back on my feet but without anything to hold on, I unconsciously fell down, hitting my side on the floor.
" Tch. Poor boy. Look how weak you have became. " He snickered, visible smirk plastered on his face.
" Who the fuck are you?!! " I shouted, getting annoyed by the insult. He doesn't say anything but his red eyes was glowing and last thing I heard,
" How can you forget about me, Jungwon-ah? "
" Our love story? How can you forget our precious memories that we make together? "
" I waited 204 years for you to reborn. I watched you from far and kiss you every night when you're asleep. "
" I'm sorry, my love. "
