Daesung

I left hyung's room in a hurry and once I closed the door behind me I let out the breath I did not realise I held. That did not go smoothly but I did not expect it to turn in any opposite way, it could have been terrible. But I do not know which was worse, the fact that she was calm or the fact that I saw the look in her eyes. The look of betrayal. She might have said that I never had her trust but I knew she put her hope on me and to her, I took it from her. That I betrayed her.

I fastened my pace and the sound of my shoes echoed through the empty hallway. Soon enough, I reached the kitchen, a normally full of life place but now I was met by my reflection on the pristine white countertops where I had placed the tray. It was just a few hours ago that hyung had sent his maids away, allowing only a handful of people to stay under his roof. Obviously he did not want any words to leak from this castle walls, and there were only a few people that he trusted with it.

I bit on the insides of my cheek, feeling the regret forming in the pit of my stomach. I had had my shot, I could have brought Hyuna far away from here; away from the chaos that was only starting, away from the goddamn fates and her so called prophecy. I could have went against hyung's wish and give her the normal life that she deserved. I could have done something for myself, one that I may regret in any other day but surely it did not matter if she was right by my side... right?

But I blew that chance.

She was here now, much to her dismay. She might be thinking of an escapade for now, but once she met hyung personally, she will start to feel the need for him.

As soon as the thought entered my mind I tensed. No doubt it was starting all over again, but will I manage to go through all that again? After all they did not have the barrier that kept them away from each other anymore and...

Wait.

I did not tell her about the necklace because I was preoccupied with my thoughts. What if –

Without wasting more time, I rushed to her room in my vampire speed.

Hyuna

I sat on the spot for a few moments after he walked out, closing the door behind him. Then my world crashed down on me and finally I broke. My body was bent forward as I silently released my anger and frustration on the mattress, hitting on it with all my might. I hoped it had feelings, so I can transfer all the pain to it with every hit. When the sobs were getting hard to control I buried my face onto the soft covers and cried. I was crying for what happened, for the incessant pain I experienced, for the life I dreamt of.

For my dead parents.

The accident that took their life... sometimes I wished I was dead too. I was never suicidal because I thought I was alive for a reason, or perhaps I was just in a constant state of trying to persuade myself that maybe, just maybe there was more to this life. Because they said if you lie to yourself quite enough, you will believe it too.

I had hopes, and I watched them wither each day. Like a flower left in the open without water, I watched them turn grey every single day. Yet I keep planting them, only to see the narrow end again because I could not water them with anything else.
