<A/N> Hey guys?! Are you reading my Author's notes? (~I hope so!)At the end of this chapter, I have questions. I hope you'll answer me. Let's make this more interesting okay? Thanks! Enjoy reading ^^

-----------------

Babysoul's POV

As much as I want to change my clothes just like Sungkyu said, work greeted me as I went inside the office. I just used the hanky he gave to atleast dry my hair.

"Sujeong, what did you do to Miss Soyu?" Hyejin eonnie welcomed. "What in the world made her want you to look for a file in the level 3 basement?"

"I don't know," I just muttered helplessly. As far as I know, I just looked at her a while back and that's it! I didn't even talk to her!

"Anyway. Just... just look for the Financial Statement of Woollim in the year 2005 in basement. Maybe it's just somewhere there in the piles of papers."

What? Is Woollim even existing at that year?

"I don't understand why she's making you find those records," eonnie continued. "It's been years! I don't think it's still significant. But anyway, do your best in finding it. It's getting dark and its almost time to go home. Hurry up okay?" Hyejin eonnie instructed me.

I just gave her a nod.

"I think its never locked so just go in." She handed me a flashlight. "You can do that. Don't be afraid. Fighting!" she said and then she went back to work.

I curled my brows. What is to be afraid off at the basement?

I just shrugged my shoulders and went off to the basement.I opened the door and the darkness and the dust welcomed me.

I clicked on the lights and it's not working! No wonder eonnie gave me a flashlight. I looked around and it seems, the basement became a storage room of different things. I'm seeing an electric fan, an old sofa at the center, and just loads of trash. I looked around to find the old cabinet where the record is.

I walked around till I saw it. And to my surprise, it's not just a cabinet! That whole corner is an archive! Full of papers! I immediately went there and started my search. With my flashlight, I looked over the files in there but I didn't see the specific file I'm task to find.

It's so hard to find that FS. All I can see are receipts, papers, papers, papers and more papers!

My eyes are getting heavy andteary. I'm getting really tired.

I'm also feeling really cold already.

I continued to ransack the papers there hoping I could find that file already.

And then there's a pile of papers filled with compositions and lyrics! I suddenly felt suddenly excited about this.I looked over it and was amazed! It seems these are works of the company's composers which were either rejected or just simply thrown away! I'm seeing names of the different composers of Infinite like RPHABET, Song Su Yoon, Yue, and a lot more.

But one composition really caught my attention. It's the original manuscript as evidenced by the author's hand writing and the yellowish color of the paper. There were also smudge on some parts of the lyrics but it is still readable.

It's untitled and I just saw the initials. 'S.S.09' on the paper.

(<A/N> Please read it with feelings...)

♫ If I had just one miracle in my life,
It's probably the day I first met you...
If I had just one hellish moment I want to forget,
that would probably when I left and sent you away...

I can't do anything
I've filled all my spaces with you,
And if I move even the tiniest bit,
I run into you...

I need to empty you out little by little
Yes, I need to erase you
I bite my lips and tell that to myself

But I can't even start...

If there was a moment that was more dream-like than an actual dream
It's probably the day I first met you...
If there was a moment that was so tortuous that I wanted to die,
that would probably when I left and sent you away...

I can't do anything
I've filled all my spaces with you,
And if I move even the tiniest bit,
I run into you...

I need to empty you out little by little
Yes, I need to erase you
I bite my lips and tell that to myself

But I can't even start...

I don't know if I want to forget you...
Or I want to hold on to you
Even if it's only through faded memories
If it's not that
It would all just seem like a lie...

My foolish thoughts that you might still come back to me,
my delusion that I need to be here if you do...
Have those things swallowed me up?
Yeah? Or if I let them go...

I can't do anything
I've filled all my spaces with you,
And if I move even the tiniest bit,
I run into you...

I need to empty you out little by little
Yes, I need to erase you
I bite my lips and tell myself
But I can't even start...

I can't take a single step
Because this city is filled with you
Everywhere I go
I'm haunted by traces of you

I'm better of just longing for you...
That's right, I have no other choice
Even if I cover my eyes, and my ears
I can still see you, I can still hear your voice...♫

I went back to my senses when my tears started to drop on the paper and at the same place where there are smudges. Maybe the author was crying when he/she was writing this?

Maybe.

Because I who was simply reading it cried.

How could this simple lyrics give me so much emotions?

Why am I feeling so sad... and broken? And at the same time, I can feel the longing, sacrifice and the love, which is so heavy in the heart? And the feeling is just, strangely familiar.

My curiosity grew to my head. Who wrote this lyrics? How could they throw such a masterpiece in this basement? I wiped the tear that started to fold in my eyes again.

S.S.09 ... Maybe that is the initials of the author but why does it have numbers? Maybe the year 2009?

I carefully folded the paper and placed it in my pocket. I'll definitely search for the one who wrote this.

And now, I have to get back to reality and finish the job I've started. I went back searching for what I'm task to find but still, I found nothing.

And then I checked my phone for the time, and I was surprise to see I'm already two and a half hours inside this basement?!

I immediately panicked!

My co-staffs might have gone home already! Especially today were everyone planned to go home early and rest!

I stood from where I was seated and went to the door.

But it got locked!

I banged the door. "Anybody there?" I asked.

"Hello?"

"Hello!!!" I continued banging the door.

"Please open the door!"

"Helloooo!"

I did all my efforts to call someone's attention outside the basement but no one was answering!

I'm getting really helpless. Well who would come here in this part of the building anyway?

"Please open the door!"

I'm getting really weak. I haven't had a nice sleep for so many days and I'm so tired from all the job I've done.

"Fine! If you don't want to open! Fineee!!!!" I shouted. I'm so pissed!

I thought this basement is always open! How come someone locked it!

I don't want to argue anymore. I'll just sleep through the night. And tomorrow, I'll call Hyejin eonnie to open the door. Problem solved!

"You think I'm afraid!? Good news! I'm not!" I shouted again and then I kicked the door and marched towards the sofa. I really think someone is behind this and pranked me! The question is, who?

Thankfully, I've worked as a ghost at the haunted house before so I'm not scared of the dark. I walk and went to the sofa. I dusted it off.

And then laid down my tired body.

Finally, I can rest.

Later, I already dozed to sleep.

-----------------

I'm freezing!

I think my body is also shaking already. I tried to grab a blanket but I can't find one! Until, I realized I'm currently in the basement, lying in the sofa.

My lips are getting chipped with so much dryness. I'm so thirsty.

And then later, I heard some noise at the end of the room. I can't see anything I think someone is walking! I curled myself in the sofa. Is there a ghost here? And then later, I'm seeing something white floating infront of me.

Fear started to cloak my entire system. For the first time in the whole duration that I'm here, I felt scared...

Is this real! Am I just being paranoid?

I feel like I'm seeing a lot of people or am I just dizzy? I don't understand. They just keep walking towards me like zombies.

I wanted to shout but my voice can't come out of my mouth!

I'm getting really scared!

"Eomma!" I called out, my voice cracked. And then I started crying.

"Eomma!" I just called out again. I feel so helpless and scared!

I hid between my fingers and cried.

With my eyes filled with tears, I opened my phone. I can see my hands shaking and I feel so weak. My eyes are blurred and I can't see the screen that much as I scroll down my phone contacts...

And the first name that came clear to my view, was Sungkyu's.

I absent-mindedly clicked his number, and then I heard his ringback tone. It played for so long until... I heard him speak.

"Hello?" he said at the other line. Hearing him made me feel relieved and saved. I cried harder.

"S-sungkyu!" I sobbed.

"Why?"I heard him replied in annoyance.

"I'm s-scared... H-help me..." I begged. I don't care anymore, I have to get out of here.

Sungkyu's POV

I'm having a really nice sleep. The continuous late night practice for our comeback tired me like hell! So every sleep counts now a days. Especially that tomorrow, we are going to officially start going to music shows to promote our songs. In addition to that, the different radio and TV guestings that we are going to face!

And then someone called me at the middle of the night!

But I still received the call. Well, I have to. It might be something important. Especially now that we are in the midst of our comeback.

"Hello?" I asked in a sleepy voice.

"S-sungkyu," I heard the other line. My mind didn't register who the caller was so I peeped into the screen of the phone to see Babysoul's name written on it!

"Why?" I asked, curious of what's going on.

""I'm s-scared... H-help me..." she cried on the other line that made me sit up in my bed immediately. Now, I'm completely awake.

"Why? What happened?" I asked. My heart started to raise as I hear her crying for help.

"I'm here...here at," her voice was shaking and I can hear her crying.

"Where!?" I yelled getting impatient.

"B-base... Basement Woollim building. I'm l-locked...," she cried.

"Okay. Just, calm down. I'm coming," I assured her. I just wore my coat and shoes and went to Woollim building as soon as possible.

What is happening? What happened to her?

I reached the building in full speed.

I immediately ran to the guard.

"Good evening sir, I mean good morning! It's already 3:00 Am. What are you doing here this late, I mean this early?" he joked. But I'm not in the mood to laugh!

Annoyed, I glared at him. "Didn't you know someone is locked in the basement at this hour?" I shouted at him.

"Really?" he answered.

"Yes! So please let's hurry!"

"Yes Sir," he answered so we went together inside the building and ran on the stairs on our way to the basement. I failed to ask Sujeong the particular basement where she is so we opened all the doors of the rooms in all the basements and yet we didn't find her. I tried calling her again but she's already out of reach!

"Sir, maybe she's at the storage room! At the lowest basement!" the guard said.

"What? What could she be doing there?!" I exclaimed but I still walked my way to the stairs, the guard following me. Until, finally we reached it.

The guard unlocked the door and when I opened it and its pitch black!

"Sir, the lights are not functioning here," the guard informed.

"Did you bring flashlight?" the guard shake his head. I placed my hand in my face in irritation. I'm now extremely annoyed with him. How could he be so incompetent!

I opened my phone's flashlight and there... I saw Babysoul, curled at the end of a sofa, hugging herself.

"Hey!" I shouted at her to catch her attention. She moved her head towards me.

I immediately walked towards her. I directed my flashlight in her direction and noticed, she's still wearing the same clothes the last time I saw her. Didn't I tell her she should change because she got wet when she fetched me?

She is really stubborn!

"Why are you here at this hour?!" I shouted in anger.

"Don't you know what time is it? Don't you know I'm already heaving a nice sleep?! Are you insane?"She remained silent though she looked like she's going to cry. Her eyes are puffy and red. She stood up and walked towards me. She seemed tired and weak.

I continued nagging. "Hey! Answer me! Why did you let yourself get locked here? Don't you know you made me so w- ..." I was stopped when she suddenly wrapped her arms around me then rested her head in my chest. And then she started sobbing and then cried my name... "Sungkyu-oppa..."

"-worried...?" My voice soften and so did my expression.

I was taken aback with her sudden action. Little did I know, I'm already hugging her back.

"You should have called me earlier," I whispered on top of her head.

She didn't answer.

She just continued crying.

"It's okay. I'm already here. Hush," I tried to console her. I caressed her back.

She just hugged me still. "I was so scared," she reported between her sobs.

"It's okay... It's okay..." I consoled as I continue to rub her back with my palm. I rested my chin in her head. "Everything is fine now."

I tried to wipe her tears and when I did, I felt her face is hot! Literally, burning up!

"Are you sick?" I touched her neck.

"Hey! You're burning up!" I exclaimed.

"Soul?" I called her but there was no response. I noticed she stopped crying.

"Soul?" I felt her arms wrapped around me slowly loosened.

"Soul!!!" and right there she fainted.

-------------------bn
