CHAMBER OF SECRETS.

👺 HISTORY.

PRESENT

i woke up in a forest with an eerie feeling. i looked around and found an exquisite lady. i scratched the bottom of my head and slightly tilted my head.

"w-where am i?" i asked the lady, stuttering.

"you'll know later." she said with a safe and sound smile.

"what happened to me?" i asked, looking around.

"raven, calm down. you are safe. firstly, let us get out here." she told me, holding my left hand while walking.

for once, i trusted someone i didn't know. i felt safe with her.

"raven, do you remember what happened to you?" she asked me.

"i don't know, but i'll think of it."  i answered, shivering.

PAST

after a few minutes, we came to the party's venue. i can already see the. .comedian. . over here.

"come on, hyung." said Jaehyun.

my thighs were shivering, i didn't know how to prevent it.

our spot was close to the stage. five minutes left, the party will start.

after five minutes, the birthday girl is now here. the. .comedians are welcoming her.

they were picking someone, and one of them landed his eyes on me. fuck.

"alright! i think i chose someone." he said, while staring at me. it makes me feel uncomfortable, uneasy.

he walked towards me and held my hand.

PRESENT

"now, what do you feel?" she asked.

"i feel. . scared. i feel like they are watching us."

"don't be scared raven, okay?" she comforted me. "it was me, the whole time. it was always me, watching you ever since you were eight. starting after that incident. i would always thought of taking you but you were still young. so i ought to myself that when the time has come, i must take you with me. and now, this is the right time, raven." she explained, with a tear trying to escape from her eye.

i was speechless. i didn't know what will i reply.

"welcome home, raven." she said, with a genuine smile on her face.
