Namjoon jolted to consciousness with someone shaking him to wake up, he looked at the table in front of him, it had a book which was half way open, he looked at the person whose face was covered with a black mask and he started to speak, "The library is closing soon, you need to leave."
When the person left, he looked around and saw a bunch of book shelves and realized it was his favourite library he would visit often. He looked at the person walking away, which he had guessed was probably a new librarian or a temporary one since he hadn't seen him before.
He closed the book in front of him and saw the name in the book cover, 'The train of mysteries' Namjoon widened his eyes to shock, "What? A dream? No, it's too real for it to be a dream." He thought he would just figure it out later as he took the book with him to borrow it and read it, since it didn't seem like he would be able to sleep later in the night. While he walked his way to the front desk he noticed something unusual, he thought he was probably lost and took a wrong turn, after all the library is quite confusing and big but then again he had been coming here for at least 5 years and by hearted the whole library.
Someone tapped him on the back, it was the person who woke him up, "Lost?" the person asked. Realization hit Namjoon so hard, the person had the same voice as his! He probably didn't notice that earlier since he just woke up. He observed the person more, eyes were the same, voice was the same, height was the same. But then he noticed a light scar by his eyes and a few stitches in his forehead. The person removed his mask. Namjoon was scared as heck, it was him but it was not him either.
He looked completely psychotic of course, he looked destroyed. He seemed like a huge fan of joker as he had actual stitches by his lips. Namjoon stepped back from him horrified. "Oh! You might wanna be careful, behind you!" The other Namjoon called out for him. Namjoon turned to see the hallways of books had gotten longer and there were hands coming out of the book shelves.
"Now, you could try finding your way out, we're stuck in a maze but here's the catch. I'll chase you, and if you get caught by the hands or me, then...sucks for ya. Now, run off, I'll give you a head start for only 3 seconds...!" psychotic Namjoon said. Namjoon found it hard but he ran, he followed his guts while he could still hear psycho Namjoon's footsteps, he was walking awfully slow, taking his time which only make it look scarier while the actual Namjoon was running for his life while avoiding the hands that were greedy to grab him.
Namjoon was lucky enough to not run into dead-ends, that is until now... his eyes were wide as saucers when he realized there was no way out, he looked behind to see psycho Namjoon smirking. "Aw, you're stuck. Now choose, heaven or hell?" He asked as he was walking slowly with his footsteps echoing. Namjoon kept stepping back, oh but he forgot about the hands and he was grabbed by them. Namjoon shut his eyes waiting for the worst to come but slowly opened his eyes when he felt nothing, "Am I dead? Is this hell?"
He saw that he was surrounded in complete darkness, and all of a sudden he heard a noise, he turned around to see his psychotic self. His legs automatically started to run.
Jin woke up and as water started to spill out of his mouth, he saw people surrounding him. "He's awake!" one of them yelled. "What happened?" Jin asked one of the men near him. "You were drowning in the pool, luckily a girl saw you and saved you. "Where is she?" Jin asked. The man pointed to a figure who was sitting in one of the pool chairs, drinking some juice. The girl seemed around his age, he approached the girl and spoke, "Hello miss, Um thank you for saving me earlier. Is there any way for me to show you my gratitude?"
"It's fine, just be sure to have a float next time you go to the pool, it wasn't even until a few minutes after you started drowning." The girl replied without looking at him and continued sipping her juice. Jin blushed out of embarrassment after she spoke, he must say she is one of a kind.
But soon, he came to his senses, "Wait- wasn't I in a train, was it a dream. What the heck?" He started to look around, "Is this a hallucination? I hope it was all fake, where are the others then?" He looked around again, it was quite obvious that he was searching for someone. "What happened?" The girl asked informally. "Uh, I was searching for my friends?" Jin said with hesitation hoping the girl probably saw them.
"Wow, your friends really left you to drown?" The girl replied and continued speaking, "If you're asking me if I had seen them, I haven't, as far as I know I saw you all alone."
"Oh, thank you again, miss. I'll leave." Jin turned to leave when the girl replied, "My name is Yang Dae Gi." Jin turned to face the girl who was still sipping her juice, "That's a really unique name, My name is Kim Seok Jin." The girl hummed. Jin started feeling uneasy as he replied hurriedly. "I need to go now, I hope to see you soon." and he ran off inside a building which seemed like a hotel, Jin would lie if he said he didn't have a tiny crush on her, part of him hoped that it was not all in his mind.
He entered the building and followed wherever his legs took him, he later found himself in a long hallway walking to a door at the very end of the hallway. He felt more and more uneasy the more he got closer to the door. At some point he stopped right in front of the door. He couldn't bring his hand to open the door, he wanted to go back to the pool where there were a lot of people around him and talk to the girl. He looked behind him and widened his eyes, it was finally confirmed that it was all in his mind, the hallway completely disappeared and was only surrounded by complete blackness around him. He looked in front of him ready to open the door but the door disappeared instead he saw himself, but a different person inside and out. "You were taking forever to open the door, so I thought to open it myself." He heard his clone say. Jin gulped as he stepped back. "Aw, scared already? But there is still so much I have to do with you."
Jin didn't dare to reply, in fact he didn't even try, he had a big lump in his throat. He didn't know if he wanted to cry or fight back. His arms, legs and body were weak. All of a sudden he felt this energy gushing through his veins, his legs started running by themselves. He heard the crazy version of himself yell, "Coward!"
And he bumped into something, or rather someone. He saw the psycho Jin, he was on top of him as they fell down, he was about to get up when his psycho self pushed him to the ground pinning him to the black floor. Jin didn't know what he was even doing, he literally kicked his 'you know where spot' and pushed him while his psycho self was groaning with pain. Jin never imagined that he would do something like that, but he had no option. He ran with all the energy his body was giving.
