(Incase if you don't watch I-Land,  the video above showed how the egg statue turns and how the entrance looks like. Enjoy <3)



"Jiyoung! Wake up!" Ashley wook up because the voice was too loud.

"Jiyoung? But I'm Ashley-" Ashley's confused as the voice called 'Jiyoung'.

"I can't be in the story, can I?" 


"PARK JIYOUNG, COME HERE, NOW." The voice called Jiyoung again. Ashley got out of the bed. 

"I think- I'm Jiyoung... I'm running away from this house-" Ashley packed her bag fast as she made Jiyoung's father hit her so hard until that 'one day', Jiyoung used to faint because of the hit on her head. 

Ashley remembered that. She tried to hold the place she got hit and it hurts so bad. She growled in pain. 

Ashley quickly packed her bag and saw the book she bought yesterday on the table. She took the book and slid it to the front of her school bag. She wore her hoodie and went to the window.

She heard footsteps coming to her room. As she was scared, she jumped out of the window. Because the house does not have any stairs, she's safe. 


"I need to go to I-land. Right now." Ashley said and ran as fast as she could. She ran without direction. She went straight to the forest and found the I-land building. She turned. As she saw the massive grey building, she was relieved. "Do you know how relieved I am after I saw this building?" She smiled.


After that, she went to the entrance where the door should be opening. With her bag sliding on her right shoulder, she felt like she's one of the I-landers. Suddenly, she realized. 


"Doesn't that mean I'm 9?" She thought. Before she could answer the question, the entrance opened, making 'Jiyoung' stepped back. As the entrance opened fully, she walked into the building and was amazed by every single thing there. The lighting, the moveable-floor and the egg statue. The egg statue was in amber-colored. It's fascinating how they did it actually. Jiyoung smiled. "I'm... Jiyoung now. Not Ashley anymore." She said in a low tone so the camera there doesn't hear what she said. 


The egg statue turned and revealed it's inside. Jiyoung drew back slightly as she was shocked. "I already know this. Why am I scared?"  She thought and putted her right palm on her forehead. "Ahh, I forgot that's the place where I got hit." Jiyoung putted her palm away and growled in pain. After that, she went into the statue. As she goes into the statue, the statue turned around.


"Look!" A male-voice said. Jiyoung quickly turns. Before she could say anything, she fell to the ground and covered her head with both hands. She never felt this scared before. Now, her trauma was real. She doesn't even bear to look at them. 


"Don't do anything to me!" Jiyoung's voice shattered. She cried. Harder and harder as she's felt so scared around them although Ashley knows that they won't do anything to her. She could feel that every one and each of I-landers' really confused. 


"What have we done?" A boy said. Jiyoung believed that the voice belongs to a person named K. Others shrugged as they don't know either. Soon, a boy slowly came towards Jiyoung.


"Please, please don't do anything to me." Jiyoung begged so much as she's really scared of them.
