Long Journey

People want it

People dream about it

Despair.

Destroyed.

Every negative thing struck to me but there was a voice which spoke in my mind.

It can be different to every individual
It can complete us
Or It can destroy us

Am I destroyed?

What is it? Why does this voice strive for me to decide? It echoes around my, heavily burdening me.

And It can change the world
People call it ’treasure’

'Treasure'?

The world can't be changed, No!

The treasure can't change the world.

Gold, eternal life, honour, love, fame
It doesn’t matter what you dream for

What do I dream for?

So let me ask you
What is your treasure

My treasure?

No, I don't have one. I don't need one.
I want to protect what's close to me. That's all.

"Will you join us?"

The Voice becomes clearer and Stops echoing around. I look up to see the elderly man in front of me.

His hand displaying over my face with the question luring in his eyes.

I stare at the hand for a moment then realize what he means.

"Aren't I trustworthy? Just when I thought there was a place which can understand me."

A flame burnt in my eyes as the man softly smiled at me.

"We are sorry for what we have done. I told you just a moment ago. It's my fault that they are like this."

I hesitate for a moment but then He grabs my hand and pulls me up.

"Welcome, this is your home now."
States the man as he bows down.

"I am Kim YoungHwan. The instructor and elder of the ATEEZ faction. Everyone calls me Eden though."
He politely introduces and turns to Hongjoong.

"Make sure you welcome our new member well."
Something in that tone sent down a chill down my spine. It was too good, too good to be recognized as 'good'.

"Thank you, Eden. But, I don't think they are ready to accept me so I don't really mind anything."I shake my hands nervously and Eden just smiles.

"It's Ok, They know what they should do."He walks away and there lures an Awkward silence.

"I'm sorry."

My voice and Hongjoong's speak up in unison and we awkwardly move our heads down.

"It's okay."

This time, 9 voices dissolve together and we all look at each other. Some scream, some say softly and some silently. A small wry smile spread on my face.

"It's not like we can disobey his orders so we are sorry too." Says wooyoung while laughing like a dying rat.

"We are just not used to the fact that we'll be planning a murder on one of our own's blood."States Yeosang and Mingi, San and Wooyoung snicker.

"That's true, but make sure you don't interrupt our plans because of your emotions."A cold voice, Namely Seonghwa.

"Don't be mean to her, who knows where Eden might be right now," Wooyoung states as he keeps his hand on his forehead and searches around for, Probably, Eden.

"I don't know about him but if you don't shut up you'll be sitting in hell." I gulp as Seonghwa threatens Wooyoung. I turn to see his reaction only to see him sticking out his tongue as if he won't die within the next minutes.

"Enough playing around! We were discussing something I guess or have you forgotten?" Orders hongjoong as he glares at both Seonghwa and Wooyoung who are ready to fight but, they stare at Hongjoong, not daring to move an inch.

"San!"

Hongjoong Orders with the same tone and he immediately appears in front of Hongjoong. "Yes?"

"Treat her wound, Make sure you take care of her. Yunho, Seonghwa and Mingi! Into the meeting room."

All the said members Nod and stand but Hongjoong orders once more time.

"Now!"

And so everyone scatters around but San slowly walks towards me.

"Come let me treat your wound in my office." San pulls his hand out to me and I gladly take it. Comfortable with him now.

"Thank you, for taking care of me and being so nice to me." As we walk, San holds my hand very softly and takes me around the place.

"We have 4 control areas. All divided for 2 divisions each. The one which we are going to is mine and Yeosang's." I nod as we go through 2 same buildings with the same structures. Courtyard in the middle with different themes.

"May I know the others too?" I ask hesitantly and San just proudly nods.

"The place where we came from is the Captain and Seonghwa Hyung's division and the one we passed was Mingi and Wooyoung's division. This one is Yunho and Jongho's."

San points down to the ground and I stare at the beauty of this place. It's made with pure sand, unlike the first one which had Pillars of Cement around them, this one has a natural Vibe to it. Mingi and Wooyoung's was quite simple and Untouched. As if the wind takes care of the cleaning.

We reached the last one and it was totally different from others. Here the theme was totally blue and the whole place was made with marble tiles and it radiated bright energy, brighter than the first one.

"It's so beautiful, did you and Yeosang made it yourselves?" San smiles but shakes his head wryly.

"Yeo did it alone, He was left alone over here for a week because of an injury. We had a War not long ago, he couldn't participate so Captain told him to do whatever he wanted." He points at the place and I smile at how beautifully it's done.

"Captain was a bit Unsure as to how he got the marble tiles but he gave up on trying to ask Yeosang because he would always twist the topic or reply with a sarcastic comment." San nods sadly as he remembers something, probably something Yeosang told him.

A question suddenly pops into my mind as we turn towards a wooden door."Say, San?"

He turns to me in curiosity, A smile plastered on his face.

"Why do you all call Leader, Captain?"
