Closing her eyes In Na was ready to speak to Jin now. He had seen her, said her name last time, but as she felt herself slip to wherever she had been going she couldn't move at first. She felt like a rusty robot as she glanced at the world around her. Her fingers twitched at first as In Na found herself in the middle of a party.
There were only the seven boys there, but they were living it up like it was New Years Eve in Times Square. As In Na watched J-Hope and Jungkook dance battle she forced her wrists, ankles, elbows and knees to move. There was a jolt in her back like she had been stabbed, but then she stumbled forward suddenly able to move her body just fine.
In Na spun in circles looking for what had stabbed her, but there was nothing, the party was happening in front of her. Running a hand through her hair she brushed off the freak experience and went to find Jin. He was sitting on the couch laughing with Rap Monster.
"Oppa," she called over the music.
No response.
"Jin?" she yelled.
In Na stood in front of him, yet he acted as if she wasn't there. Again.
"No! You saw me last time. You saw," she pitched a fit.
Kicking at the shin of the boy she loved, though it passed right through him and the couch, she hissed a curse that she never said in front of him before. Pacing the room she tried to think of a way to get his attention again, she didn't know where the picture from before was, nor did she know what kind of party she was at. A memory one? A fantasy? In Na still wasn't entirely sure where she was finding herself every time she fell asleep.
She was watching V drag Jin to a wall to spray paint him when she spotted a hooded figure dressed all in black hovering in the kitchen area. When she spotted them they began backing away from the guys, which made In Na move for the figure.
"Hey! Who are you?" she called.
They said nothing as they disappeared into the shadows. In Na didn't hesitate to follow suit, what else did she have left to lose. The shadows broke to reveal In Na and the hooded figure standing in a room that was completely white, like the one In Na had first seen Jin in. Glancing around she saw no way back to the party where Jin was now.
"Who are you? Why can you see me?" In Na demanded.
"Do you really believe he'll see you?" they challenged.
In Na couldn't see their face, but they sounded like a girl, and fairly familiar. She didn't have time to worry about that now though.
"He has once," she stated.
"Can you do it again?" they asked.
"Why do you care?"
"I'll make a deal with you. If he can see you before you leave this time then I'll allow you two to speak next time," they offered.
"How can you make that happen? Who are you?" In Na pressed.
"I control that world he's in, but you keep interfering," they replied.
"Me?" she questioned.
"You boyfriend isn't helping. He keeps summoning you but he's completely unaware of it. Knowing that do you think you can win against me?" they said.
Clenching her hands into fists In Na declared, "Aware or not I'll get Jin to see me. I'll save him."
They laughed at her words.
"How do you know he needs saving? He seems pretty happy to me right where he is," they stated.
"Because his real friends are hurting and Jin knows that. Whatever you're doing here is just covering that up. He doesn't belong here," she countered.
"So we have a deal?" they questioned.
"Hardly," she sneered.
"You don't want to talk to him?"
In Na's heart throbbed at the implication but she pushed forward. "Of course I do, but I won't waste a bet on that. I want to save Jin, at whatever cost," she said.
"Then?" they inquired curiously.
"If Jin notices me before I wake up then you have to allow me to save him no matter what. Even if I fail a hundred times Jin has to survive," In Na explained.
"And what if you can't? What if that happens?" they challenged.
"It won't," she said.
"So sure," they laughed.
Taking a step forward they held out their hand to In Na and said, "Then it's a deal?"
Shaking she said, "Yes."
As they released the shake the figure waved as darkness creeped up behind In Na. Just before it consumed her they said, "Good luck you foolish girl."
In Na wasn't given the chance to retort before she found herself back in the middle of the boys' party. Chaos everywhere she looked.
"Jin," she called.
