Seulgi was in the white circle again. This time—alone. The setting was also somewhat different from the place where they had their wrestling 'class'. Where was she?
She heard a gush of winds, and the swaying of trees. Between two bushy thickets, her instructor came out of nowhere with the same outfit she wore earlier. A smirk tug at the corner of her lips as she entered the circle. Seulgi step back, feeling sudden uneasiness.
"Wrestle me, Kang Seulgi."
Kahi's voice was different. It was a male's voice—and a familiar one. Where did she hear this voice before? Seulgi then tried to step forward, slightly lifting her hands, reaching out for the cloth tied at Kahi's thigh— the instructor smiled at the gesture and she too came forward.
Seulgi grip the cloth firmed on Kahi's legs and her eyes widened when she looks up to see Kai sneering at her with a 'You're doom' written all over his expression.
Kai pulled Seulgi roughly, trying to lift her off and topple her out from the white circle. Seulgi tried her best to firm her stance as she, too, tried to knock Kai off with her head desperately heading and pushing his chest. But Kai was stronger. Seulgi felt it. It was a different kind of strong. With one swift move, Kai manage to lift Seulgi off from the circle and both of them tumble to the ground.
Seulgi had her eyes close, feeling the weight above her as she breathes deeply. She wandered why the heck is Kai still above her so she opened her eyes to find Irene. Irene's eyes staring straight to Seulgi's own pair. The distance between them were dangerously close and Seulgi can't help but to stare back and forth between Irene's acorn brown eyes and her rosy red lips.
Seulgi's heart palpitates more as she felt Irene trying closed the distance between them. Seulgi immediately close her eyes shut and—
Something soft yet compact hit her face.
Once
Twice
Thrice—
She flutters her eyes open, seeing Sehun and Choa looking over her while sniggering. A small sigh escapes through her lips. So it was a dream after all, feeling slightly disgruntled as she rubbed her eyes.
"Have you heard of a superstition that says you will go crazy if you sleep in the evening before 7pm," Sehun asked her with a teasing tone.
"No," Seulgi answered, pushing herself up by the ankle.
"So do I," Sehun chuckled and Choa said, "It's your first day doing the schedule with us. Must've been tiring for you, right? You'll get used to it soon. I have a feeling you'll be doing twice more things than we usually do."
"Oh yeah? Like what?" Seulgi did a few stretches before standing up from her comfy bed.
Choa shrugged, "Do you know that it's so hard to wake you up?"
"I've been told,"
"I almost went to Hermes clan to borrow their horn siren to wake you up," Sehun spoke, "but I was afraid you might get deaf, so..."
Choa rolls her eyes and pats Seulgi on her shoulder, "It's almost 7pm anyways, go and wash up a bit and have dinner with us later.
Seulgi puts up and OK sign as she dragged her feet to the bathroom. Her thoughts still stray away to the previous dream. They were so close.
The heat of the campfire penetrates the approaching chilly air. Seulgi sat as close has she dared to feel the radiating warmth, holding out her hands, feeling the heat seeping in. It was mesmerizing to watch, colours of orange and red gave way to yellow and white near the centre, where the emanating heat was the greatest. But Seulgi flinched and back away frightfully as sudden two logs were being thrown into the fire.
