'desire' - wooyoung route ending

“You looked so sad for someone that’s performing forbidden arts.”

Wooyoung looked at the man in black clothing, eyes widening as he saw the man’s face. He knew that forbidden arts is against the laws of nature and he will be punished for getting his hands on it, Wooyoung could care less now. He’s not on the right state of mind, pretending that he’s okay despite the gaping hole in his heart.

“Mortal, no, you’re way superior than a mortal..” The man stated as he kneeled one of his knees in front of Wooyoung, “You, who summoned me, someone from the other universe. What’s your name?”

“Wooyoung.” Wooyoung might’ve been scared right now but he knew that showing any kind of inferiority towards something like this will just make everything worse.

“Wooyoung, huh?” The man smirked as he looked at the summoner, “To perform this act, you’re quite impressive.”

“I just did what I can do, mister.”

The man nodded in acknowledgement, “You knew that this is forbidden arts yet why did you summoned someone from an another universe? In what cause?”

“I want something to happen.” Wooyoung admitted, looking down at the floor as he clenched his fists “I’ve done everything just to make that happen but all of my efforts are wasted. I have no other choice that to seek help from someone in the other universe, that is why I performed this.”

Never show that you’re afraid of them. They will make you submit to them if you do, speak with superiority in it. Do not stutter. Wooyoung, you might be sad but you shouldn’t be scared. The raven-haired male kept a straight face as he tries to calm himself from the overwhelming fear and sadness clouding his mind.

“I commend you for that,” the man stated as he chuckled, standing up as he brushed his clothes “I appreciate the offerings and such but that is something that’s irrelevant.”

“What?!” Wooyoung looked up to meet the man’s gaze, “Do you need something more than this?”

“I appreciate it. But I need something more, something that you might not be able to comply. And without that, I will not be able to use all of my powers in this universe.” The man placed his hand on his left chest as an eerie smile was seen on his face, eyes glinting in menace “I am nothing but a mere alchemist from the other side and also a sinner.”

“Alchemist. You’re completely mortal too?”

The alchemist shook his head, “You’re not entirely mortal though, Wooyoung.”

“What are you talking about?” Wooyoung asks, tilting his head in confusion with the alchemist’s choice of words “I’m completely a mortal, it’s just that my parents are necromancers.”

“Necromancers, you say. Alright then. Ignorance is bliss, people say..” the alchemist sighs as he faked a cough, “Anyway, I’d like to know what you’re so desperate on attaining?”

“My bestfriend.”

“Pardon?” The alchemist looked at Wooyoung as if he’s having two heads right now, his surprised expression evident to the raven-haired male.

“I said it already. I want my bestfriend,” Wooyoung said in such a firm tone and the alchemist couldn’t sense that there’s a speck of insincerity.

“Your bestfriend. Tell me why,” the alchemist walked towards a chair and sat on it as he crossed his arms, still locking his gaze with Wooyoung.
