Seal of Dark Fate

Strange Black Mark

MIN HAEYOON SMILED at her reflection in the mirror as she smoothed her hands over her navy blue necktie and matching blazer. She had just finished preparing for school and being the cheerful girl she is, Haeyoon is looking forward another day of fun. Placing a loose strand of auburn hair behind her ears, she suddenly heard her mother calling her over for breakfast from downstairs.

"I'm coming!" she yelled back before grabbing her phone and slipping it into her backpack. When she opened her door, she saw her older brother coming out of his room as well, wearing the same navy blue blazer and trousers. The girl quietly giggled when she saw the boy yawned, eyes threatening to close anytime soon

"Morning, Yoongi," she smiled at the still sleepy boy before standing on her tiptoes and placing a peck on his pale cheek. Min Yoongi was never a morning a person but seeing his adorable little sister lightened up his mood.

"Morning, Haeyoonie," he fondly ruffled her hair before placing an arm around her shoulders and proceeding downstairs.

The smell of bacon, pancake and sausage filled the entire kitchen, making Haeyoon excitedly run to her seat but not before greeting their parents with a peck on the cheek and a "Good Morning".

"Excited much, are we?" Yoongi commented with a chuckle as he mirrored his sister's greeting before settling on his own seat beside Haeyoon.

Their father laughed amusedly, saying that it's all her favorite food afterall. But Yoongi retorted and claimed that everything edible is Haeyoon's favorite.

"Mom," the girl turned to her mother with a slight pout. "Yoongi's being mean."

"So is dad," Yoongi smirked as he placed a stack of pancake on his plate.

"Honey, don't mind them, okay, they're just teasing you?" Mrs. Min smiled sweetly at her daughter. "Eat your breakfast now so you won't be late for your club meeting."

The family had a rather lively conversation about random things over breakfast and Haeyoon was very much happy and contented with what she has right now. She had a happy grateful smile on her face as she looked at her family, feeling that everything was perfect...

...Well, that was until she met him and her world changed for forever.

HAEYOON AND YOONGI were walking down the road towards their school. The siblings don't mind travelling on foot since it was just a fifteen minutes walk and the weather's nice, too.

"Good morning, Mrs. Jeon," the auburn headed girl stopped in a front of an old but neat looking house to greet their neighbor who was in the middle of watering the blooming flowers in her front yard. Her brother halted in his steps, too, before slipping both hands into his pockets and standing beside her to greet the woman also. Mrs. Jeon, who looked like in her late thirties, greeted back as she walked over to the waist-high white wooden fence surrounding her house and towards the pair.

"Wow, the flowers really looked beautiful," Haeyoon said in awe as she stared at the different varieties of flowers in different colors. She loved how they filled the air with a sweet and fresh scent.

"They are, aren't they?" the woman said with a soft smile on her round kind face. "I see you left quite early for school."

"Yes, I have a club meeting," Haeyoon chirped, as she lightly bounced on the ball of her heels. "And my brother has club duties, too."

"My, how good students you are," Mrs. Jeon gushed at the siblings and that's when a beautiful melody floated in the air. It sounded like a piano and it was coming from the house. The tune was so pleasant to the ears, gentle and soothing like it was a lullaby for the soul, and Yoongi, being a music enthusiast that he is can't help but ask who is playing the instrument.
