Chapter 24: Last Waltz

Oh, how much had you waited for him to say such words to you, it felt like a dream come true. As you stared into such deadly eyes of his, while he took off his mask with such fine lines of his, the only thing you could do was just was watch as the man took your hand, asking you for a dance.

You swore that his eyes were telling you a whole story, a story that you couldn't possibly decipher and he knew so, that was why he was telling you it.

Trusting in the fact that you would never know such story of his, trusting in the fact that you'd be dead before you could even blink, but surely that wouldn't be true, surely you'd survive, you'd survive to spill whatever story his eyes and hearts held so deeply.

What had his multiple hearts, his multiple lives, twisted into this one story, one look?

You hesitantly declined, as you looked at him with fake, apologetic eyes and smiles, but something in you felt wrong.

You weren't you, you weren't yourself.

"May I have this last waltz?" he asked once more, while you felt as if you were going to vomit, something was wrong, something didn't feel right about him.

But you couldn't do anything at all, as you kept failing into such a deep state, you couldn't seem to differentiate what was real and what was fake.

Everything felt as a mixture of both.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"May I have this last waltz?" he asked you with such ethereal smile of his, while all the lights kept spinning and mixing into each other.

This didn't feel like your world at all, it was like if all common sense of the world had disappeared.

Nothing but euphoria was left.

You slightly nodded as the walls of the room kept spinning around, forming and deforming, colors that had never existed before colored everything and everyone.

He took you by the waist, taking you by surprise as he slowly unraveled his arms and spun you around the room, others watching in mesmerization and awe (maybe even in jealousy) as that stupid smile of his grew wider and wider, as the space between you drew closer and closer.

"I'll take you towards the end of the world, towards the end of the ecstasy, all you have to do is just say the magic words." he muttered under his breath, rubbing his face onto your neck. You could feel and hear his breath, while it kept mixing with yours.

"Um..." you moaned, as he squeezed your neck with his two fangs, stopping himself from doing such thing he regretted so long ago.

Everything felt blurry as you two kept dancing around like if it was the end of the world, such fiery and nightmarish dance that sparked up from you two.

A beautiful nightmare that blossomed.

"Now tell me..." you slowly unraveled your arms against his, as his smile slowly dropped, like if he knew exactly what question you were going to ask, but if he did know, why would he hurt himself that way?

"This name that is lingering around my lips, the meaning of such sad dream."

He quickly pulled you towards a hug, eyes glistening from the pain he felt from hearing such words again and again, yet each time it would hurt even more.

"Out of all the sad endings in the world, could they really be more perfect than this?" you could hear him sniffling as he kept talking, each word sounding from the last, having a different emotion every single time.

"All I want is to be torn apart and surely you'd want yourself to be the one to do so."  he kept giving you a sad smiling after he kept saying such ridiculous things, things that didn't make sense.

Because he didn't want it to make sense to you, he wanted to keep you innocent, for all chaos to disappear from you.

He wanted you to chose innocence over the truth, but surely you wouldn't comply, surely you'd follow your destiny, your fate that you had written and swore to yourself.

"Can we stay in this moment, forever?"

He spun you around the lights, spinning and circling around the middle of the earth itself, the line between such two worlds that your innocence couldn't keep from hiding you, it's strong wind and current was nothing compared to such delusion.

"Even with the moonlight shining brightly towards us, this ending will be the happiest and most beautiful ending of them all."

"Sunghoon."
