[Chapter 19- Woke Up In Neverland]

---

Darkness,

Nothing,

Empty,

Desolate,

Deserted,

Abandoned-

Those are the words that filter into Jihyun's mind as she floats in this void. It's quiet, and it's silent. She hears nothing, and sees nothing. She can't even tell if her eyes are open or closed from how pitch black it is.

She cannot recall anything of how she got here as she continues to levitate, the feeling of fear beginning to settle in her thoughts as she continues to wander in nothing. She turns her head as anxiety crawls into her heart, the feeling of being all alone in her thoughts scaring her.

"Jimin", she calls out and her voice only echoes in response. At least there's some sort of noise to comfort her, but it still isn't enough to calm her racing heart. She struggles to move around, but it's so dark that she's not sure herself if she's actually moving.

"Jiminie", she calls his nickname shakily as she continue to try to look for some sort of light to guide her, but there isn't any. She begins to feel cold and she wraps her arms around herself to keep warm, chills tingling down her spine.

"Jimin, I'm so cold... where are you", she says as her teeth begin to chatter. She can feel the darkness around her turn into claws, scraping and grappling onto her limbs. She screams as she feels the sharp talons drag across her skin, trying to pull her closer into its dark depths.

"Stop please", she cries and suddenly the claws begin to drag away from her body, a sudden light causing them to shrink back.

"Jihyun come back to me, quickly."

She hears a gentle voice say to her a certain distance away. She looks to see a bright light glimmering and shining into the darkness that had surrounded her. She begins to try to move to chase after it, the light becoming brighter as she grows closer to it.

She wakes up with a scream, the feeling of the talons still carving into her flesh still piercing her mind.

"Jihyun what happened", she hears someone say in a panic and she looks up as a wooden door creaks open, showing a boy with light almost magical colored brown eyes and bright orange hair standing in the doorway. She stares questionably at the boy until she realizes who he finally is.

"Jimin", she sighs in relief and he walks over to her side in hurried steps, kneeling beside her with his eyes looking into hers with concern.

"Nightmare", he asks and she nods, her eyes trailing away from his to look at her surroundings. She notices how the room itself seems to be built out of a tree's branches, the limbs of the tree curling and waving passed each other to create sturdy walls. She notices a cute sized window that's also made of the tree's branches with a dresser of some sort. On top of the dresser is a rose in a wooden vase with picture frames filled with smiling faces standing next to it. She'll have to investigate those later.

"Where am I", she asks Jimin as her eyes return to his. He gives her a small smile and stands up, extending his hand towards hers while giving a slight bow.

"My darling, you're in a place where you're finally going to be happy."

"What-"

"You'll never have to be lonely ever again, Jihyun."
