El Dorado

VII · XI · MMXVII

baekhyun.
dead.
cold.
void.
el dorado.

"you need help." i said with frustration. gamble myself? for him? no no no, this isn't going to happen. but i needed to know. i wanted to take revenge.

i turned around and closed my eyes. was i about to accept his offer? for what cost? he did say that he could give me anything that i wanted, forever.

"don't think about it too much. we haven't even got started on the fun part yet." he got closer to me by the second.

"oh and another thing i forgot to mention, i don't take no's for an answer." he said with an eerie smile.

he was serious about this. he wanted me to play this sick game, even though i don't even know what this "gambling" is even about.

"what do you mean by gambling? what am i gambling to you?"

"you'll see, if you say yes. don't worry, nothing inappropriate will be involved in this. unless you want it to." he smirked while looking right at me.

i looked at him with a cringed face. "i'll take your favor. but, you have to promise me. you'll give me everything that i want."

"baby, i take promises seriously. also, this society is give-and-take. if you give me something, i have to pay the price." he said.

"okay fine." i said while shivering. the dampness of the rooftop made me shiver furiously.

"here, take my jacket. i'll see you in the parking lot at 3. be ready." he took his jacket off and handed it to me. he walked out while waving.

maybe i need this. maybe this is supposed to happen. maybe this is my destiny.

3:00PM

i walked out of my classroom with gina and said our goodbyes.
i then walked out of the school and went to the parking lot to meet baekhyun.

"hey." he called out and quickly got in the car.

i half-smiled and got in the car with him. "where are we going?"

he started the engine and looked straight ahead. "to el dorado."

"what's that?" i said with confusion. it sounded like it was far away.

"you ask too much questions. you'll see when you get there."

i nodded softly and looked outside. this is going to be a long trip.

4:00PM

"get out. we're here." he said while parking.

i got out of the car and looked at the big building. it was huge. there were people walking in and out the building with a big grin on their face, or with a sad expression slapped onto them.

"welcome to el dorado, the paradise land of gambling." he guided me into the building.

when we went inside, it was crowded with people even though it's only tuesday.

"wait here." he said. he disappeared for 5 minutes and came back with two cards.

"this is your card. don't ever lose it."

i looked at the bizarre looking card. it was square shaped with different geometric designs on it. it had my *real* name on it. i stared at baekhyun with the most ugliest expression.

"what."

"how do you know my name?"

"i'll tell you when everything is done." he grabbed my wrist and headed into the crowds.

we later arrived at a room called ógild. he opened the door for me and grinned.

"what does ógild mean?" i asked with interest.

"it means void. it's considered to be the most dangerous room in this building." he looked around and groaned.

"listen carefully. we're going to be negotiating with someone. don't be afraid or anxious. everything will end well if you don't do anything stupid."

"o-okay." i said and breathe in and out to calm myself down.

before i could have any more thoughts go through my head, someone yelled out, "baekhyun, didn't i tell you that you're not allowed in here anymore?"

baekhyun slowly closed the door and smirked. he lightly pushed me to the side and pushed his index finger up to his mouth while looking at me. be quiet darling.

"hello leo, been a while since i've seen you around." baekhyun grabbed an object from his pocket. a gun.

"baekhyun how dare you point a gun towards m-"

his body crashed onto the floor. he was choking on his own blood. before i could react, he was dead, cold, lifeless.

this was my third mistake.
