Ara: why are you still here?

Jaemin: You can get yourself in danger soon.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to him. They were back in Ara's apartment and she was clearly getting annoyed.

Ara: From what? What is trying to hunt me down so bad?

Jaemin: Trust me, you don't want to know

Ara: You know, I have no idea why you are so adamant, but I can assure you that no one's as eager to kill me as you are!

There was silence and Ara didn't know why but she regretted saying it because she swore she saw hurt in Jaemin's eyes.

A small growl echoed in the silence and Ara snapped her head back, eyeing the dark hallway leading to the bedrooms.

Ara: What was that?

Jaemin: Not so snappy now are you?

Ara: Jaemin, I'm serious. What is that?!

He held her shoulder, forcing her to look his way. He gave her a soft smile. They were so close in the moment. If it weren't for the heavy noises reaching for them, she would have considered the moment differently.

Jaemin: Try to keep your eyes closed, love.

He then snapped his fingers and Ara felt something fall around her like invisible walls.

Ara: what?

He took a step back and out of instinct she tried to follow him but was met with indeed an invisible wall.

Jaemin: You're safe... I know it will be hard, but you have to trust me with this.

Then she saw it. The black cloud with sparkling energy and those demonic eyes finished with the nasty smirk. It didn't look inviting, and for sure it was nothing she wanted in the house.

Jaemin: Now, you really want to regret this?

Black cloud: Such a naive and young Death. You do know that he leaves you alone till you are almost dying, right?

Jaemin: I know what I need to know. And I know that you, shouldn't be here.

Ara noticed Jaemin's eyes turn to red with black smoke emitting from his palms.

She also managed to make eye contact with the uninvited guest who lost his smirk.

Black cloud: Wait what-

Jaemin caught him off guard in the fight. They broke things, a lot of things. But Ara was more concerned about how Jaemin was getting weaker by the second. She was agitated in her little bubble.

She met his eyes during the fight and the moment shifted. She saw herself in his position. Similar clothes to him. Her eyes were glowing red and they were in a smaller living room.

She blinked and everything went back to the normal. At least only for a moment because she quickly noticed Jaemin on his knees, raspy breaths leaving his lips.

Ara: Jaemin?

He slowly turned his head and they met eyes yet again.

It happened again. But this time it was outside. She was further away this time, in a place that seemed to be a grave yard.

She blinked and again, everything returned. The black mass of evil was gone. Her living room was a mess and Jaemin was lying on his back, eyes closed and he was taking deep breaths.

He raised his hand and flicked his fingers. Instantly she felt something invisible fall down with a gust of air.

She immediately reached for Jaemin and he weakly opened his eyes. Ara knelt next to him and he just gave her a small smile.

Ara: Jaemin-

The scene shifted again. She was surrounded with people this time. Jaemin was in her arms. Bleeding out and dead.
