In the shadow of the darkness down the tunnel, Sunoo watched with intense interest as the girl was the first one to take a step down the stairs.
His gaze settled on her head of brown hair which fell down her back, framing her like flickering flames against the walls. Her skin was illuminous in this hidden corner.

The girl turned back to face him, who now stood stock-still, wide-eyed and gaping at the door slowly moving aside for him to see through the other side as it reveal a secret passage way shrouded in darkness and moisture.
"Why do I have a feeling I've been here before?", Y/N asked, her words slightly shaky.
Sunoo knew the answer for it all too well.

Sunoo stared in awe as he stood at the end of a long, dimly lit hallway. Dozens of tall towering pillars loomed over his head, entwined with carved marble moon whose edges glistened in the lowlight of blue.
