Doom's Night || TXT

I R E M E M B E R

I sat on the green meadow, barefoot as the soft lush grass tickled my feet causing me to curl my toes once in a while. I was humming to myself as I carefully made an assortment of flowers and started weaving them together. Hm. Yin would love this. I'm sure of it. He'll look absolutely ethereal and it'll only accentuate his beauty.

I heard footsteps coming to a stop behind me and smiled, pausing my activities. "You're here already?" I asked with a chuckle.

"I missed you." His voice was like the blossom of fresh spring every time I heard him.

I slowly turned around but... This wasn't what I expected to see. Behind me, the meadows had... Withered away. The flowers which were once in fresh bloom when I had arrived were now lamenting their dried petals. The grass blades were uneven and lifeless. How... How could this happen?

And then I looked up. The same face, the same smile but it wasn't Yin. "Yang what are you doing here? What did you do!?" I almost weep as I hurriedly get up and the half done flower crown slips out of my fingers and touches the floor, breaking away.

He looks puzzled. "What do you mean? Didn't you send me a letter? To meet you here?" He asked and took a step forward and with that one step the entire row of flowers before him withered too. He was death himself.

I gasped and took a step back. "No... No... Impossible! I sent a letter for Yin not you! You... You monster!" I remarked as tears fell down my eyes. This was the garden I had groomed ever since I was a child. The meadow I was bestowed upon by God. How could he destroy it without any care??

"Angel... Don't cry..." He said softly, his voice on the verge of breaking as he held up his hand and was about to come towards me to wipe my tears but I held up a firm hand. "Do not take another step Yang."

"W-Why?"

"Why? Why!?" I almost laughed. "Look what you've done!"

He looked alarmed and slowly turned around and gasped. It seemed like even he was too surprised and didn't expect that. "what? Did I do that?" He asked softly.

"What do you think Yang!? You're darkness and decay! Get out!" I scream and fall to my knees, wincing as the broken branch from the crown pricked the skin of my knee.

"Angel-" Yang hurriedly tried to reach me and touch my wound but I push him away. "Go away!!!" I yell and cry harder until everything blurs out.

I wake up with a heavy head. It feels like the air pressure was closing in on me as I almost choke and sit up taking a deep breath. "Water... Water..." I gasp out. Maybe I croaked out. I wouldn't know.

"Hyun-Ae!?" Yeonjun sprang up from the floor and held me in his arms. "I was so worried... Yang tried to hurt you... I was so scared." He said and hugged me. "How are you feeling now?"

"Awful.." I whisper still thinking of the dream that I had.

He quickly grabbed a glass of water beside the bed and offered it to me, helping me drink.

I close my eyes and count to ten before taking a deep breath. "Where are the others?"

"Do you remember?" He asked instead and I nod my head.

After all... It wasn't just a dream, was it?

"Oh my god I knew it wasn't a good idea to send her away!" Beomgyu exclaimed as he sat beside me holding up a chocolate for me which I was eating.

"Yeah! What were we thinking!?" Taehyun groaned.

"What if something had gone wrong?? We would've-" Kai was finally cut off by Soobin.

"Silence!" He waited until everyone was quite. "I need to make some important announcements, starting with Sana and everyone have left for Magic Shop and to bind the Universe together from falling apart. It's really up to us now. They can only buy us so much time." He sighed.

"Soobin..." I looked at him as I wipe my lips. "I remember now. I remember my origin. And yours..." I slowly look towards Yeonjun and hold his hand. But when I look in his eyes, it's not without a strong guilt. Did Yang deserve to be treated that way? Is he reall... Bad?

"What are you thinking jagiya?" Yeonjun asked when he noticed that I'd zoned out.

I snapped out of it. "Huh? Oh... Nothing." I pursed my lips. My thoughts were going in too many directions for me to collect them at once and give him a full answer. "Soobin? So what do we do now?"

Soobin bit his lip and his eyes went to Yeonjun who cast his eyes away instead.

"There's only one way to stop this..." Soobin said softly. "Yin and Yang be one. They're one. They're incomplete without each other." He said but Yeonjun did nothing I was expecting. Gasp? No. Look troubled? No.

Instead, he snorted. "Yeah not happening."

"But-"

"Soobin you know why!" Yeonjun exclaimed and they exchanged a look like they shared a mutual understanding, a secret I was unaware of. For a brief moment, it even looked like Yeonjun was pleading Soobin.

"Just please... It can't happen. Impossible." He said and stormed out of the room.

I looked straight at Soobin awaiting answers and it seemed like I wasn't the only one because Kai, Taehyun and Beomgyu gave the same look to him before the three of them chirped together groaned together and Kai said something about not keeping secrets anymore making Soobin hold his hair in frustration and groaning along the words of "God" and "why me always?"

That was until finally Beomgyu decided he couldn't take the silence or the patient waiting anymore. He gave me one look to assess if I was going to wait it out or not and when I didn't speak up thinking I should give Soobin some time to say what's in his mind, he finally said, "Mind explaining!?!?"
