Unleashing The Lies

18. The Nightmare

Hwan - Jangmi's Room

Hwan - Jangmi's POV

I kept on falling. Down. Down. Down. Into a dark hole. It seemed to be an eternity before I reached the bottom. I fell down with a loud bump but managed not to hurt myself even a tad bit. I stood up and dusted my clothes before walking forward and looking around. Trying to figure out where I am. But I had no such luck.

All I could see was a long, long, long passage. I started walking down the passage in the hope to find some ways out. I walked and walked and walked until my feet were covered in blisters and my legs were about to give up.

I saw a light in front of me. The passage was ending. My legs were charged up with all the energy I could muster but I wasn't able to move forward. I try and try and try but no luck. With every try, I was being pulled into the ground. Soon enough the ground swallowed me up like quicksand.

I fell down and felt the ground immediately. I tried to move but I couldn't. I could not move even an inch. I started struggling to breathe. I counted from 10 to 1 and calmed myself down. Out of nowhere a dark shadow, giving of evil and demonic vibes started hovering around me. The shadow stared at me before I was pulled into a dark room.

I was finally able to move my body and sat up. I could see nothing. It was pitch black. I stumbled around with the support of the walls, trying to find a light switch. Luck seemed to start coming near me for I found the switch.

I pressed the switch. Thousands of light rays burst out. I was blinded by them. I started moving back and tripped on my own foot. But that did not stop me. I continued crawling back until my back touched the wall.

All of a sudden the source of the light rays burst open and engulfed me. I started screaming. Screaming my lungs out. I screamed and screamed and screamed until I couldn't. I lost my voice. I looked around and saw the thing I dreaded the most!

It was happening. It was happening again. All over again. It was as if I could not move my eyes at my own will. I had to see what it showed me. I had to go through the pain of watching that again. Those helpless eyes watching me and silently crying out for help. I could hear the agonizing screams echo in my ears. I watched the past repeat itself. I watched as the blood kept oozing out until it reached me.

The blood increased. It kept increasing and increasing. It showed no signs of stopping. Soon enough the whole room was nearly filled with blood. I started drowning. I fought with all the strength I had left in me. It tried to stop me. Told me to give up. It always did.

I had nearly given up when I heard a voice. A soft encouraging voice motivating me to fight. That was it, I found it. I found my way to escape this awful past. Yes! I'm about to escape when............ I woke up.

I woke up. It was still dark. I was completely drenched in sweat. My throat felt sore. My hands unknowingly clutching the sheet. I swung my legs off the bed and stood up.

I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 4:00 am. I sat down on the chair near my desk, taking a few deep breaths trying to convince myself that everything that happened was just a nightmare. A few minutes later I stood up and got back into bed.

30 minutes later

I tried to sleep but the visions of this nightmare were etched in my head and I needed to get them out. I picked out a pair of running clothes along with a mask and a cap.

A few minutes later, I got dressed, plugged in my earphones and tip-toed down the staircase and went out through the front door.

I had learned a fair bit of parkour, and so I jumped over the wall as silently as I could. However, I had been out of practice and hit a trash can. I quickly looked around and heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing no one.

Yoongi's POV

As usual, I was unable to sleep. I stood near the window breathing in the fresh morning air. My eyes closed, enjoying the coolness when I suddenly heard a sound. I opened my eyes in time to see someone jumping over the wall of our house and jogging away. I looked closely and saw that it was none other than Hwan.

Hwan - Jangmi's POV

The cold air hit my face. It felt so good. This was the perfect way to get rid of nightmares. Early Morning. Cold Air. And your favorite songs blasting in your ears. The perfect way to start early morning.

I ran about 5 to 10 miles (ca. 16 km) when I realized that it was getting late. I had to be back by 6. And it was already 5:30. I turned back and changed my speed from leisure walking to running as fast as I could.

I reached the house by 5:45. Phew! Just in time. This time I made sure to be extra careful while jumping over the wall. I landed quite gracefully without a single sound. I made my way near the door and saw Jin hyung coming my way.

I quickly made a detour and fled to the side near my window. My room was on the second floor but it wasn't hard to climb up as some bricks were a bit broken. I swiftly climbed up and jumped into my room. I heaved a large sigh of relief and plopped onto my bed. I had to start practicing every day. My skill level was going down.
