Chapter 15

"No... I- I'm not ready yet!"

"Of course you are, Hansol," Seungcheol spoke after a while as he turned to the boy who came suddenly. He smiled at him and tapped his shoulder. It was just Chan.

"I'm sure you're ready, Hansol," the younger said as he went to the two boys. He told them something and turned back to me.

"Seungcheol and I have to go, but the two will take care of you, Sol."

They disappeared before I could say anything. I blinked a few times. Then I just realized they were magicians.

"You saw nothing, Hansol, okay?" the taller spoke after a while with a little grin.

I just nodded and turned to them. The smaller was Soonyoung, but I still didn't know the name of the taller one. I sighed. "What am I supposed to do right now?"

"Nothing," the taller spoke again as he put his hand around smaller's neck. "You will do nothing."

"What? I-I don't understand."

"You'll understand soon, Hansol," Soonyoung said a little bit nervously as he turned to the taller one. "Come with me, Hansol. I want to show you someone."

"Okay, I guess?" I replied nervously.

Soonyoung walked around me and walked on. I followed him. I noticed that the other one didn't go with us at all. Where were we going right now?

"Here we are, Sol," he spoke and turned to me. "Go ahead, Hansol, and don't turn around, understood?"

I just nodded. I was a little bit confused. What's going on? I didn't trust him, but I still did what he said. I walked on and didn't turn around at all. I wasn't even sure what I was doing now. I just still walked on. Then I noticed him. He was sitting on the ground with his back to me. I gulped and stopped. What I was supposed to do right now? What exactly was the place!?

"Welcome, Hansol," the person spoke all of a sudden. I flinched a little. I really didn't expect it at all. How exactly could he know I was here? And how exactly could he know who I was? I thought.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time," the person continued calmly. "Please go and sit here with me."

I gulped once again and did what he said. I've been doing things other people have told me lately. I went around him slowly and sat down in front of him on the ground.

"Your destiny is not easy," he started. "You have a long way to go," he looked at me as he frowned and turned to the boy who came suddenly. I noticed it was just Soonyoung. The boy sitting in front of me turned to me again. "Your journey will not be easy, because there are many traps waiting for you, Hansol."

I said nothing. I turned to Soonyoung who was standing against the wall shrouded in darkness. Even so, I noticed his eyes watching me. I looked back. "I know about it. Although I don't even know if I'm ready for it."

"You are, Hansol," he said calmly and turned back to Soonyoung. "It's time."

I frowned and glanced quickly from the mysterious person to Soonyoung and back. What was he talking about!?
