Chapter 23


I was laying on the soft grass, staring at the bright blue sky. It was so calm and beautiful. I just wanted to lay here forever... It was just so peaceful...

I closed my eyes, about to take a nap when I heard footsteps coming towards me.

I already knew who it was....

"Found you!" She said excited, as if she just found a lost treasure...

"Leave me alone."

"Come on....please.."

"I don't want to repeat myself!" I have had enough with her!

"Then don't!" She said back and sat beside me.

That's it.

I snapped open my eyes and got up, "Why can't you just leave me alone?!!" I yelled.

"W-Why are you getting angry....?" Tears started forming in her eyes.

I sighed, "Fine I'm sorry for yelling just now. What do you want?"

"I-I just w-want to be friends..." She started crying.

My eyes soften. I kneel in front of her and place a hand on her shoulder, "Okey okey stop crying. I'll go with you... Just this once." I said, trying to stop her from crying.

Her eyes lit up and she smiled, wiping her tears, "Let's go!!"

Suddenly my surrounding changed and now we were standing in the middle of a forest.

I was sitting under a large tree while she was in front of me, doing god knows what. It seemed like she was trying to make something...?

After a while she turned towards me. "Close your eyes and extend your hand."

"Why should I? What if you kill me?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Come on....  pleaseeee." She pouted.

"Fine.... Whatever. Its not like you can kill me even if you want to." I closed my eyes.

"Hmp. You are so full of yourself... You know that?"

"Of course I do." I smirked.

She scoffed,"whatever."

She grabbed my hand and wrapped something around my wrist.

"Now.. You can open your eyes."

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at my wrist.

On my wrist was a handmade bracelet. It was made with flowers and leaves.

"Thanks?"

"Your welcome." She said with a wide grin.

"Okey.... But what is this for...?" I asked and looked at her.

She showed her wrist and there was a similar bracelet on it as well. "I'll be always there for you and this is a sign for.... Our eternal friendship."

My surrounding once again changed and now I was in a dark room.

I looked around and it was just an empty dark room. Panic started to make its way inside me...

I ran towards the only door present in the room. The closer I got to the door, the further it got. I increased my speed but it was useless.

I tried to scream but my voice got stuck on my throat, it won't come out.

My heart was beating like crazy.. I just wanted to get out of here!!

I stopped running and bent down to catch my breath when I felt a tuck on my sleeves.

I slowly turned around and my heart dropped.

It was the same little girl, but this time.... Her face was covered with bruises, blood seeping from the cut in her abdomen.

I stumbed back, "W-Why...." I couldn't even speak...

"I told you that I'll always be there for you... Didn't I?" She smiled and started getting closer.

"D-Don't..." I stepped back.

Her eyes started getting watery, "But I just want to be friends..."

My eyes widened.

"N-No... S-stop this!" I turned around and started running.

"Why are you running away from me.... I just want to be friends with you...." I heard her voice all around me....

"All I wanted were friends.... Why did you do it....... Taehyung."

My eyes snapped opened and I  sat up with a jerk. I was panting hard and my shirt was wet with sweat.

I let out a shaky breath when I realized that I was back in my room.

After a moment I slowly calmed down and laid back on the bed.

I just stared at the ceiling and without my knowledge a tear escaped my eyes,

"Why......"

___________

Stella POV

Its been almost a month since I was here....

In front of me was the damn big mansion I used to visit everyday.... To deliver food.

I wanted Liya to teach me how to fight and help me get stronger. Since the incident where I lost my powers, I've been spending my time Jungkook so I rarely get to see Liya. Therefore I decided to come here myself...

I took a deep breath and entered the pass code.... Can't risk waking up Liya if she is asleep...

As soon as I opened the door, I heard voices coming from the living room.

"So what you are telling is, you found what you were looking for but its not what you were looking for.....??!" Jimin??

"Exactly!" I heard Liya.

"Umm... Liya.... How does this even make sense...?" Lee know asked.

I soon entered the living room and saw the three of them scattered on the coaches in the living room. Lee know and Jimin were sitting opposite to each other while Liya was sitting on the middle couch with her legs on the coffee table.

"I dont- Yo Stella." Liya stopped what she was saying and greeted me.

"Oh hey!" Jimin said while Lee know just waved his hand.

"Am I interrupting....?" I asked nervously.

"No no. We were just talking some random stuff, it was nothing important." Lee know looked at his watch, "Shit Liya! You should get going or you'll be late!"

Liya groaned, "Already???"

"Wait! I wanted to talk about something!" I said, taking everyones attention.

"I know what you are about to say.. But it'll have to wait for now. I'll help you after I return." Liya got up and placed her hands in her pocket.

"Where are you going?" Jimin asked.

"I'm going to another country to shoot a music video." Liya said, making her way towards the main door, "Jimin if something happens, contact me immediately and if you can't, contact Lee know."

"Okey." Jimin replied.

"And Stella.... " she stopped and turned her head slightly in my direction, "don't get in trouble while I'm gone."

"And why are you saying this....?" I asked, confused.

"I don't know," she shrugged, "I just feel like......

..... Something really bad is about to happen soon."

______________

Taehyung POV

I stood there, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My hairs were damp from the shower. Drops of water on my face. I stared at my eyes, they were void of emotions.

Its been a week since I started having the same dream.... More like memory...

Why am I seeing this now?

I slowly brought my right hand forward and opened my fist. I just stared blankly at my palm and suddenly blue flames shot through it.

I just stared at my hand, now covered with flames.

"After everything.... Do I even have the right to use it....."

Was it a wrong choice....

I was snapped out of my thoughts when my phone buzzed.

I closed my palms, burning out the fire and grabbed my phone.

My eyes slightly sparked with emotion when I saw the message.

Misa:
Hey... Stella's birthday is just around the corner... Umm.. Can you plz help me in picking a gift for her....? If yes, meet me at the park by 3pm... See ya!

I looked at the time and it was already 2. I quickly dried my hairs and started getting ready to go out.

_____

I finally arrived at the park and a smile made its way on my face when I saw Misa sitting on the bench waiting for me.

I slowly sneaked behind her and whispered close to her ears, "Hey!"

Big Mistake.

Misa let out a scream and the next thing I knew..... I was on the ground with a throbbing pain on my nose...

I looked up and in front of me was Misa, standing with eyes closed and her hands still in punching position.

Liya was right.... I should never underestimate her....

Misa slowly opened her eyes and gasped in shock, "Taehyung?!"

_________

Misa POV

I came back with an icepack and handed it to Taehyung who was now sitting in the bench, rubbing his broken nose.

I looked at him with guilty eyes, "I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to.... punch you." I lowered my head and mumbled.

He let out a light chuckle, "Nah... Don't be sorry. Its my fault that I underestimated you."

"You sure you okey......?" I hesitantly asked.

"Stop worrying silly." He laughed and got up, extending his hand towards me, "it'll heal in no time anyway. Let's get going now." He gave his famous box smile.

"Okey." I smiled back and took his hand.

____________

Taehyung POV

We arrived at the mall and as soon as we did, Misa dragged me to a certain store. I looked around and it was a jewelry store.

"Come on!! Let's get some presents!!" She excitedly started looking through the store.

The corner of my lips unknowingly curled up and I followed her.

She stopped in front of the section that had different pendants.

She picked up one of the pendant that had a certain symbol on it. "Hey what do you think about it...?" She asked with a big smile.

Heat rushed to my cheeks and my heart started beating at an inhumane speed...

What the hell was wrong with me?!!

Did I have some kind of disease?!

"Hey what's wrong?? Are you not feeling well?!"

I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts.

Misa was looking at me worried face.

"Huh.. Uh... No.. I'm fine." I glanced at the pendant in her hand. "And yeah... That's really good."

"Really?!! Yayyy I'll get this for Stella then!!" She jumped excitedly. "Come on, let's get one for you too!!"

"Huh, why??" I asked confused.

"Because I want to." She grinned and got two matching pendants. "Let's get matching!!"

"Whatever you say." I said with a smile.

After paying for the pendants, we decided to head towards a restaurant.

We gave our orders and waited for the food to arrive.

"Is there a meaning behind that symbol or you just liked it?" I asked, pointing at the box that had Stella's gift.


"It has a meaning behind it. It means... Eternal friendship."

??? POV

I was sitting on my table, looking out of the window. My eyes were on the scenery outside but my mind was somewhere else.....

I don't know why, but I was having this strange feeling recently as if something big is about to happen...

Like someone was planning something big...

I shook my head and decided to ignore this feeling. I pulled the side drawer of my table to take out some files. I opened a file and a piece of paper fell from it.

I picked it up and squinted my eyes in confusion.

On the paper it was written,

I'm bored... Let's play a game.

I turned around the page and it was blank.

What was this supposed to mean. Who placed it here..????

I just shrugged it off and continued my work. I was deeply engrossed in my work when my phone suddenly buzzed.

I picked up my phone and saw a notification of message from an unknown number. I clicked at it and my eyebrows furrowed.

Unknown:
2:00pm. Live broadcast.

What was going on??

I hesitantly dialed that unknown number and patiently waited for the other person to answer.

My eyes widened when the line went off and the next thing I heard was,

'The number you are trying to call does not exist.'

What on earth...

My eyes went towards the clock...

1:59.

My heart started picking up pace....

______________

Jin POV

I walked out of the cafe and started walking down the streets. The streets were busy as usual.

The thought about having a free life like this felt good....

I looked at my wrist watch and my eyes widened when I realized it was already 1:59. I had to report to the headquarters by 2!

I was about to rush toward the HQ when my eyes suddenly fell on the Big screen that was in the intersection.

An advertisement about some beauty product was being displayed but suddenly the screen went black a certain symbol was displayed at the center.

Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and turned their attention towards the screen.

"Good afternoon people."

Wait.... A live broadcast...? Wasn't SPARK supposed to know about this type of broadcasts..? Why wasn't I informed....?

"Do you know what a monster is?"

Huh..... ?!!

"Monsters are the ones that destroy peace. The ones that kill innocent. The ones that are hungry for blood. Monsters are curse... But you know something interesting? Monsters are not born monsters. They are made monsters. The real monsters are not the ones we think as monsters, the true monster is the one who made the monster."

What was going on.... What was this person talking about....?

I couldn't even recognize the gender of the person as the voice was edited...

"Isn't it sick, how people only see what they are shown and don't really try to understand what is the fact... The world we live in, may look peaceful but in reality, its fucked up... You can't trust anyone here... This world is filled with monsters.... Sinners."

My phone suddenly started ringing. It was from Agent 1.

Ughh why now?!!

I sighed and pick up the call.

"Wh-"

"Go and stop the broadcast right now!!" He ordered without giving me a chance to speak.

"Why should I??" I asked, confused.

"The broadcast is not safe!! We don't know who that person is!! For all we know, it could be an enemy! All the SPARK members who went to stop the broadcast have lost the connection... We don't know if they are even alive... We can't risk it... We need to stop it... Only you can do it now...its an order from higher ups." Namjoon explained.

"I see." With that, I ended the call and turned off my phone.

I lowered my head and smirked.

Bold of them to assume I'd stop this...

This is far too interesting....

My attention returned towards the broadcast when the person chuckled.

"Don't worry... I won't be revealing your secrets.. But you know, nothing can be hidden forever. Killing won't hide it either...and yeah, don't you think its time for the rightful owner to have it...??" The person snickered, "This is actually fun... Don't you think?"

This is getting interesting...

"Lets play a game....

...... Guess who I am."
