Hongjoong's happiest moments were with his friends, the seven boys he had come to love and appreciate more than anything. The ones with whom he had gone through the best and worst in his life. The ones who cried with him on the bad days and laughed with him on the good days. They were truly indispensable...
They shared a dream... and they had promised each other that they would have achieved it, together.
When Hongjoong met her, he was completely captivated. Her scent... it was entrancing. It was the first time he had ever felt that way, it confused him, but as the days went by, he found himself falling more and more for her...
At first, he didn't think much of her. He thought of her as something shallow... something natural that came with growing up... something innocent in her simplicity.
As time went on, his initial curiosity grew into something more... a warm and cozy feeling wrapped around him whenever he thought of her... he adored her...
The feelings of comfort he had come to love turned into something rougher... his heart now emanated a passion, a tormenting lust for more... he wanted more, he wanted a lot more than just achieving his stupid little dream... he wanted everything, he wanted all of what he could and couldn't have.
It was too late when he discovered her intentions... it was too late when he realized that she never meant good... but he couldn't stop himself from feeling the way he did, not now, not anymore. The sickening yet addicting feeling that rooted her in him. It was all her fault.
She was the beginning of his end.
She was Desire.
Therefore, it didn't come as a surprise when she held his hand as she led him straight to the man with the Black Fedora. She said he had what Hongjoong wanted.
He was a man who travelled through dimensions and had the power to lead others into one of their choice.
"I can lead you to your utopian dimension." The man's dark eyes stared at Hongjoong. "But, obviously, it would be unfair for me if I do it for free."
"W-What do you want?" Hongjoong stuttered.
"What are you willing to sacrifice?" The man's words echoed in the empty room.
The blue haired boy gulped before he finally gathered up his courage to stare back at the man. His eyes mirrored an almost frightening obsession.
I love my Desire.
"Anything."
At his words the man's deadpan expression finally changed. The side of his lip slightly curved up, as he smirked.
"You will cease to exist in your original dimension but your memory will prevail... so anyone who knew you, would suffer from your unanswered disappearance. Anyone dear to you won't exist in your new dimension either, but I think you already expected this." The man scanned Hongjoong's expression, hoping to see even the slightest sense of guilt, but to no avail.
"What if I asked you to sacrifice the happiness of the ones closest to you. When you'll be experiencing the most delightful life, they will be living in misery in this dimension... would you still be willing to do so?"
