3. WHERE ARE WE?

『 Kyujin's POV 』

As soon as Jinni unnie rolled the dice, everything turned white. It was all so confusing, and when I could finally see again, I found myself in the middle of a forest. There was nothing but trees surrounding me, and none of my friends were in sight. I had nothing with me except my quilt and the piece of paper that held my role.

Sorcerer, it read.

"Unnies?" I called out. No answer.

"Sunoo oppa!" I yelled again. Still nothing.

Just then, everything went dark. First, it had turned blindingly white, and now everything was pitch black. What in the world? I probably passed out because I don’t remember anything after that.

When I woke up, I was lying next to a table, still wrapped in my quilt. My head was pounding, and everything felt like it was spinning. At first, I thought I had just dozed off while playing the game, but when I looked around, I realized I wasn’t at Bae unnie's house. My friends were all still asleep.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so soon," a voice said.

Startled, I quickly turned to find the source of the voice. Standing there was a very pretty girl—tall, probably around our age.

"Are you younger than the others?" she asked.

"Why should I answer questions from a stranger who somehow drugged my friends?" I shot back defensively. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from life, it’s to never trust someone until they prove they’re trustworthy.

"We don’t have to argue," she said calmly, which only irritated me more. I was scared, confused, and frustrated, while she was acting like this was all perfectly normal. "Let’s wait for the others to wake up, and you’ll have all the answers you want," she continued.

Before I could say anything else, another person suddenly entered the room—flying. He looked cold and intimidating, like someone who didn’t tolerate nonsense.

"One is already awake?" he asked with a concerned expression. "Is your magic getting weaker?"

"It’s the same as yours. You staggered when you came in," the girl replied. The two of them then walked off into another room, leaving me alone with my unconscious friends.

Just then, Bae unnie started to stir. Yuna and Niki were also waking up.

"What just happened?" Bae unnie groaned.

"Your board game is cursed, that’s what happened," Niki oppa muttered, his eyes still half-closed.

"Where are we?" Yuna unnie asked, looking around.

Jiwoo unnie and Sunoo oppa also started waking up.

"Kyujin, have you been awake this whole time?" Bae unnie asked. "Do you know where we are?"

"Yeah, I woke up first. I don’t know exactly where we are, but I did see the people who brought us here," I answered.

"Did you get a splitting headache too?" Sunoo oppa asked, rubbing his temples. I nodded.

By now, everyone was awake, and I was sure we were all thinking the same thing: What’s going on? Where are we? What happens next?

Just then, the two people I saw earlier walked back into the room.

"You’re all awake. Good," the guy said. "We have something very important to tell you."

『 Niki's POV 』

I don’t know where the hell I am, but I swear, when I get back home—or back anywhere—I’m going to destroy that board game.

Two people stood in front of us, one male and one female. They seemed ready to explain things. The guy had just said this was "very important," but before they could continue, chaos broke out as everyone started bombarding them with questions.

"Who are you?"
"Where are we?"
"Why are we here?"
"Can we go back?"
"What’s so important that you had to kidnap us?"

The noise made my headache even worse.

"If you guys could quiet down, we’ll explain everything," the girl said firmly.

"My name is Huening Kai, and this is my sister, Edlynne," the guy introduced.

"You’re currently at the borders of Entwurf," Edlynne added.

"As for why you’re here…" Huening Kai continued, his voice completely nonchalant, as if what he was about to say was totally normal. "You’ve all been prophesized to save us."

"What?!" Sullyoon noona yelled—louder than I’d ever heard her speak before.

"It’s a long story," Edlynne said. "But we’ll explain everything. Be prepared to listen."

"But first," Huening Kai added, "you must all be hungry. Let’s have dinner first."

Now that he mentioned it, I was hungry. Maybe it was because we had been unconscious for a while, or maybe it was because the food smelled so damn good. Next to me, I could hear Sunoo hyung’s stomach grumbling.

"We can’t just eat food given by strangers," Yuna noona said warily. "What if it’s poisoned?"

"We just told you that you’re supposed to save us," Huening Kai pointed out. "And we told you our names. We’re not strangers, and we have no reason to kill you."

In the end, we ate. And honestly? That was the best meal I’d had in years.

After dinner, we all gathered back in what seemed to be the living room. That’s when Edlynne and Huening Kai finally started the most interesting history lesson I’d ever heard.
