Shannen Romance's POV

This place is still beautifully tragic, that's it, an oxymoron. I looked around the area. Almost all of the trees are lifeless, flowers are withered, rides are dusty and rusty and the amenities are wrecked. The only thing that can be salvaged is the carousel as it still works from time to time.

This theme park used to be lively. It screams happines, joy and life. The usual scene is children playing around with their parents, teens dating and loners enjoying theirselves. But now, it's entirely different. This place can pass as a setting for a horror movie. It's now dilapidated. Silence is now covering this theme park compared to the boisterous laughters in the past. It now screams loneliness, sadness and death. It's the perfect example of how things change --- from lively to lifeless.

I walked around the vicinity and reminisced my childhood memories. My father and mother used to bring me here. We were so happy then that we thought nothing can sadden us.

I stopped at the front of the carousel while silently praying for it to work. I was about to turn on the power button of the carousel when someone spoke.

"Hey! Here you are." He said while panting.

"Who are you?" I startled.

"I've been searching for you." He replied while still out of breath.

"You're not answering my question, Mister. Who are you?" I repeated my question.

"Oh right! I'm Sehun. Sehun Oh. The one who bumped into you earlier." He answered while smiling.

"The one who bumped into me earlier? But how did you remember my face? How did you even find me?" I said frantically.

"First, yes I'm the one who bumped into you, I said it earlier already. Second, I remembered your face because how can I ever forget such a beautiful face." I eyed him but he just continued speaking.

"Lastly, I found you by searching for you. Isn't it obvious?" He mischievously said.

"Well then, what's your reason to search for me?" I raised one  eyebrow.

"To say sorry?" He said in a confused tone.

"Is that a statement or a question?" I responded.

"Miss, I really am here to say sorry." He said, after a pause he continued. "I wasn't able to formally say sorry earlier. So yeah, I'm sorry for being careless." He ended his monologue.

"Oh...okay! You're forgiven so you can get out of here now." I replied.

"Woah Miss! You're so fierce, I like it." He grinned.

"Ew! Shut up!" I said while glaring at him.

But Sehun just ignored me and pressed the power button of the carousel. In an instant the carousel worked and the headlights lighted the gloomy place.

"Cool! This still works." He exclaimed.

I'm also amazed that the carousel worked at this time. I thought it won't work just to dismay me  and I'll surely sulk over it. But I was wrong.

"Hey! Wanna ride?" He enthusiastically said.

"No! Are you out of your mind? You're a stranger!" I said in a scared tone.

"Oh come on! I'm not a stranger anymore, you already know my name, right Miss? Oh wait, I still don't know your name. You are?" He said in anticipation.

"See? You still doesn't know my name. We're practically strangers." I explained.

"That's why I'm asking for your name." He said.

I hesitated for a moment.

"Miss! It's just a name. Its not like I'll hurt you. I'm a good boy, okay? Just tell me your name." He urged.

"Tss. You're so annoying! My name is Shannen Romance Lee. You can call me Rome." I finally gave in.

"Oh. Beautiful name, Shannen." He said while smiling.

"I said call me Rome!" I irritatedly answered.

"No! I'll call you Shannen. Shannen, Shannen, Shannen!" He repeated saying my name in a playful manner.

"You know what? You're so annoying!" I blurted out of annoyance.

"I know. You told me earlier." He just coolly answered.

"So let's ride now, Shannen?" He said as he extended his right arm.

I didn't answered. Instead, I reached for his right arm.

"Good girl." He said.

And just like that, I found myself enjoying with him. We exchanged smiles and laughters. And that's when I noticed that he has a superior facial features. His handsome, very handsome. We rode the carousel for who knows how long. Until...

"Rome!" I heard a familiar voice calling me. I turned around and I wasn't wrong. It's my father.

"Dad!" I said as I got off the carousel while Sehun helped me.

"Let's go home now!" My father said and he scolded me.

"Dad!" I replied.

"HOME. NOW. ROME." He said in a scary manner.

I turned towards Sehun and said. "Sorry Sehun but I need to go home now."

"It's okay, Shannen. Lets just play some other time." He said as he flashed his smile.

"Come on, Rome!" Father said while Sehun and I exchanged our goodbyes.

"See you next time, Shannen." Sehun yelled and I just smiled at him.

"Who is he?" Father asked while we headed home.

"He's a new friend." I simply replied.

"I have a bad feeling about him, Rome." He said and I questioningly looked at him.

"I'll explain when we reach home." Father answered.

What did father noticed about Sehun? I mean...his pretty normal and his handsome to boot. Plus, he's the only one who calls me SHANNEN. But wait!

I froze when realization struck me. He's not the only one who calls me Shannen. The man in my dreams...

He calls me Shannen too.

Is this the inception of my selfish wish?

I was left speechless by my thoughts.

He can't possibly be my

KILLER?
