Epilogue II

I could see myself in a full-length mirror in front of me. My real coloured black hair made a contrast with my porcelain fair skin. I looked like a goddess.

"You're such a beauty huh?"

I giggled alone; feeling funny that I actually waited for my own reflection to say something. I was alone for a long long time in that unknown world that it finally drove me a bit insane.

"It's dark but it brings me calmness,"

I brought my whole sight to examine my surrounding. It's the same old empty land with a mirror in the middle of it. I could see no end of the isolated land. A heavy sigh escaped between my lips. It was indeed a lonely life for me.

"How I wish that you have a better mother and brother, Chae. I'm sorry lil sis."

I was startled by the sudden deep voice which came from nowhere. The world around me surely had no one else beside me, myself and I. I was a loner there.

My heart was beating so fast in my chests that it was almost painful for me to take a breath. It was a nerve-wrecking moment for me. I wanted to ask, 'who are you?' or 'may i help you?' to appear more friendly and polite but I was just a cowardy cat. I wanted to make friends but I simply couldn't do so.

My feet started to move faster as I felt something warm touched my right hand. The warmness didn't go anywhere else. It stayed there, comforting me unexpectedly.

Well, it was indeed comforting but I couldn't help myself from freaking out. I jogged in silence as the temperature on my right hand increase. My palm started to produce sweat and my breath was getting ragged. I was scared.

"Park Chaeyoung, come back to me please."

My whole body froze as the voice thundered in my mind again. It was an unpeculiar voice. I tried to figure out the name of the voice's owner but I failed to guess.

Then thick layer of fresh tears brimmed in my eyes as 'his' sobs broke out of nowhere. I didn't know 'him' but my emotion was easily swayed upon acknowledging his sadness. It seemed like I was in a special relationship with 'him'.

My heart didn't stop racing and the urge for me to meet 'him' increasing. I ran and ran further from the standing mirror, didn't know where should I go or who should I find. It was totally confusing.

But then the corner of my lips tugged upward slightly, forming a smile that lit my whole face up. Just 4 meters ahead of me, there's an exit to another unknown world. I didn't know what would I see or meet beyond the door.

I couldn't think of anything at the moment as all I knew is that I wanted to get out of that empty place.

But as I got closer, the darkness around me swallowed me down in a blink of an eye that scared me to death. I stopped running and shut my eyes tight. I prayed for a miracle to happen.

Ghostly shadowed hands dragged my body, dragging me under the ground and I didn't fight back to free myself. Somehow staying calm is the best option for me.

Seconds passed by and no hand was touching me. The black surrounding suddenly lighten up and I opened my eyes slowly; trying to get use to the blinding light.

"Oh Lord! You're awake!"

An angel with a tear-streaked face towering over me and smiled. His nose, eyes and ears were turning into a pretty shade of red. He's beautiful but..

"Who are you?"
