failed

Glow of red, orange, and yellow checks Seonghwa's temperature as he was engulfed by its light. 

The same humid air makes him sweat more.

He felt deja vu coming up to him.

"It's a welcome back to the habitat of a selfish man."

EDEN smiles at the same frightened face of Seonghwa. It was like a copy-paste, a clone, mimicry, nothing seems to change.

"Try taking a guess on what my challenge will be, menstruation man."

Seonghwa couldn't move. He was stiff and stuck in his position, regretting every life choice he had. Well if that's the case, that would sum up to his whole life being a regret... right?

"Come on, where is the man that bravely put his nine friends into a thin line of thread? Build up yourself and don't give up!"

The venomous words of the infamous captain made his stomach churn. That sarcastic tone, that provoking words, it was all coming back to him now.

The same captain laughs at his own remarks, he was enjoying every bit of it, this is his type of entertainment.

"LEEZ, bring it."

EDEN orders his right hand right away to proceed with this little entertaining show.

Seonghwa remains unfazed, the glow of the lava below them seems to be giving him a crash of his past. He's at his limit and about to bawl out his tears.

Please... don't tell me it'll be a baby agai-

"I want to keep it the old way, therefore..."

No.

" I brought an innocent child, once again, for you."

Stop, please...

Why is Seonghwa asking for everything to end? When he did the first movement and choose to challenge his own enemy?

Did he really expect the challenge to be something different? When his own enemy knows his biggest weakness and the answer is too obvious to be even declared?

Is he really a drunken fool that consumed bottles of alcohol that was actually waters of stupidity that he, himself, erased the label for what he called "aid to his problems"?

Seonghwa...

I'm a fool.

The same wailing of the baby echos along with the hot air of the cave. This kind of tension makes him sweat more, knowing that not only nine lives were put in line because of his decision, but now, ten souls are about to suffer with him.

"Hold her."

LEEZ commanded the prisoner that was never budging from his position. His touch towards the baby was so gentle but it contrasts completely his grip with Seonghwa's arm. It was like a tsundere to his precious, and near his real enemy.

The same right hand of EDEN opens Seonghwa's arms to lay the precious child while in its sleep. Which Seonghwa tried to avoid at first, but seeing the baby sound asleep, he was immersed by its details that he starts to give in.

Here it is.

The innocent.

Out of all people, EDEN could offer to Seonghwa, he chose to play a trick with an innocent child.

The baby was wailing so loud a while back in the arms of LEEZ, but oddly enough, it occupied the cave with echoes of silence after she felt the touch of Seonghwa.
