[COMPLETED ✔] Spectres: Season 1 - Male OC x Dreamcatcher JiU

Chapter 54

JiU's POV

From what I could see, the warehouse wasn't like any other I had ever seen.

The darkness illuminated by the faint red light was pulling me in.

I never scared of the dark in my entire life but at that moment, I was afraid.

All the people around me didn't look like a human anymore but a devil in disguise.

And I was their victim.

After I was dragged for like an eternity, I was pushed down in front of a red sprout of some kind of plant.

The bud standing on top of the thin stem looked alive as it pumped like a human heart.

"What you see is one of Baphomet Roots and when it fully blooms, this town will be ours."

The words that were spoken by Jugyo went into my deaf ears. I didn't give a crap about that.

It was pointless when I know that I would live a miserable life after this, the same as what Geoul went through.

No, it couldn't be compared to him who was living in a manmade hell since his young age.

At least, I wasn't a kid anymore when this all started for me.

'I'm sorry, Geoul. I never thought that asking for your help would drag you back to where you hate the most'

My only wish for him at that time was for him to live happily with his older sister, away from all of this.

I also hope Yoohyeon would manage to be more dependent and be able to protect herself, mom, and dad.

I know my wishes for them couldn't reach their ears but that was all I could do at that moment, the weakest time of my life.

Surprisingly, I still coughed out even without any energy left inside me. That cough was a sign that I'm still alive.

Alive but not for long. They won't kill me but... I would.

'Sorry, Gahyeon but I had to use your method.'

When Seong and Jugyo finished talking gibberish which I didn't pay any attention to, the woman pulled me up by my hair.

She fixed my position until I sit on my knees and cut the rope that tied my hands on my back with a knife.

'A knife...' I thought.

I was kneeling in front of the sprout, lighting up the small portion of the surroundings as it keeps beating as if it was alive.

Seong pulled my hand on top of the shining bud, spreading my palm as she was ready to slice it open with the knife.

'Please, give me strength one more time...'

I prayed with all of my heart and before the knife could make its way into my flesh, I grabbed the hand that was holding it.

"You guys ain't worthy of my blood."

I strengthened my legs and quickly tackled Seong to the ground and when I got what I want, I rolled away to the side.

I felt like laughing so I did as I groggily stood up. A knife belonged to that woman was now in my grasp.
