The midnight I met him

The midnight I met him part 10

As they settle in for the night, Yuna and Haneul start chatting about their favorite books and authors. They discover a shared love for fantasy novels and spend hours discussing their favorite characters and storylines.

Meanwhile, Haru and Joonoh try to get comfortable despite their initial awkwardness. Haru starts asking Joonoh about his interests, and they discover a shared passion for photography. They spend the night swapping stories and tips about their favorite camera spots.

As the night wears on, the pairs start to open up to each other, sharing secrets and dreams they never thought they'd share with anyone. It's a night of unexpected connections and newfound friendships.

After. While Joonoh excuse himself for a fresh up and when he was done.
Joonoh walks out of the bathroom, freshly showered, but realizes he's only wearing a towel, and Haru is sitting on the bed, trying to stifle a giggle.

Joonoh's face turns bright red as he quickly grabs a nearby clothes basket to cover himself. "Ah, sorry about that! I forgot you were... uh... still here."

Haru tries to hide her amusement, "It's okay, I've seen worse... I think." She chuckles, trying to lighten the mood.

Joonoh laughs, feeling a bit more at ease. "Well, I guess we're even now. You've seen me in my... uh... 'glory'."

Haru playfully rolls her eyes. "Yeah, I'll make sure to keep that image in mind."

The tension is broken, and they share a laugh, their friendship growing stronger.

After the unexpected moment, they both laugh it off and start getting ready for the day's adventure. As they pack their bags, Haru asks Joonoh about his favorite photography spots, and he shares some amazing locations he's been to.

As they head out, Mr. Lee announces a new challenge: a scavenger hunt through the forest, with clues and riddles leading to a hidden treasure.

The teams set off, with Haru and Joonoh working together, using their combined skills to solve the clues. They race against the other teams, their competitive spirits ignited.

As they venture deeper into the forest, they stumble upon a hidden clearing, and in the center, they find a mysterious box with a cryptic message:

"Where shadows dance, truth reveals itself."

As they open the box, they find a small, ornate mirror inside. The mirror's surface is cloudy, but as they lift it out of the box, it begins to clear, revealing a reflection that's not their own.

The mirror shows a figure in the distance, walking towards them. The figure is shrouded in shadows, making it impossible to discern any features.

Suddenly, the mirror's surface ripples, like water disturbed by a stone. The figure in the reflection stops moving, and a message appears on the mirror's surface:

"Meet me at the old oak tree at midnight. Come alone."

The mirror's surface returns to normal, showing their own reflections once again.

What do they do next?

(No options this time, just a continuation of the story)

They look at each other, both wondering who sent the message and what it could mean. They try to shake off the feeling of unease, telling themselves it's just a prank. But the mirror's words linger in their minds, sparking curiosity and a hint of fear.

As they continue their scavenger hunt, they can't help but glance at each other, wondering if they'll be brave enough to meet the mysterious figure at out.

After the bonfire night, the group returns to college, exhausted but exhilarated from the adventure. As they settle into their dorms, Villon lurks in the shadows, watching Joonoh with an intense gaze.

Hours later, Joonoh receives a mysterious message, luring him to an abandoned building on campus. Unbeknownst to him, Villon has set a trap.

As Joonoh enters the building, Villon ambushes him, injecting a strange drug that distorts his perception and memory. Joonoh's world spins out of control, and he loses himself in a haze of confusion.

Meanwhile, Haru is in her dorm room, working on a project. She receives a frantic call from Joonoh's phone, but his voice is barely recognizable. "Haru... help...

Joonoh's eyes are wild, his face contorted in a mix of pain and pleasure. He's struggling to contain himself, his body trembling with the effort.

"Haru... I... I can't... It's too much..." he gasps, his voice barely audible.

He takes a step back, his hands clenched into fists, as if physically restraining himself from reaching out to her. His chest heaves with rapid breaths, his eyes fixed on Haru with a desperate intensity.

"I don't want to hurt you... I don't want to lose control... But it's so hard... Oh God, Haru, help me..."

Haru's eyes fill with tears, seeing the anguish in Joonoh's face. She takes a step forward, her hand reaching out to him.

"Joonoh, it's okay... I'm here... We'll get through this together..."

But Joonoh shakes his head, his eyes welling up with tears.

"No... No, Haru... You don't understand... I can't trust myself... I might hurt you..."

He takes another step back, his body tensing, as if fighting against his own desires.

Haru's heart aches seeing Joonoh's torment. She takes another step forward, her voice soft and reassuring.

"Joonoh, I trust you. I know you wouldn't hurt me. You're fighting this, and that takes so much strength. Let me help you, please?"

Joonoh's eyes lock onto hers, his gaze burning with intensity. For a moment, they just stare at each other, the tension between them palpable.

Slowly, Joonoh's face crumples, his body shuddering as he tries to contain his sobs. Haru rushes to him, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace.

"It's okay, Joonoh. I'm here. I've got you," she whispers, holding him close as he trembles against her.

As they stand there, Villon watches from the shadows, a calculating glint in their eye.

Haru holds Joonoh close, feeling his body tremble with pain and struggle. His voice is barely audible, but she manages to make out his words.

"Haru... is it... a moon night... tonight?"

Haru's mind races as she tries to understand the significance of his question. She glances out the window, noticing the full moon hanging low in the sky.

"Yes, Joonoh... it's a full moon tonight," she replies, her voice soft and gentle.

Joonoh's body tenses, his eyes squeezing shut as if bracing for something. Haru holds him tighter, feeling his heart race and his breathing quicken.

Suddenly, a strange glow begins to emanate from Joonoh's body, his skin taking on a soft, ethereal light. Haru gasps in wonder, feeling his pain and struggle increases by time
