|Ch.16

A week later.

The days are already over when they blinked. Inside the room,it reeked sex,the two men only came out to have their meals or do their bathroom needs,that's all. Most of their time was spent in their room,wrapping themselves in their arms,snapping their hips,in short,they were ruined to the bits.

It was the last night Storm and Heeseung were spending together inside this room. They stayed on the bed,in each other's arms,naked. But the blanket was covering both of their lower parts. The silence between them was peaceful. Both were exhausted at this point.

"You don't really have to come with me,you know",Storm mutters as he traced his finger on Heeseung's collarbone.

Heeseung looked at him with furrowed eyebrows,"Storm,my best friend is there —"

"I know",Storm cuts him off. "I'm not telling this because I don't want you there but that world —it's dangerous. Especially if you are with me"

"Storm",Heeseung looked straight at Storm's eyes. "I know it. It might be much more dangerous than how the book has described but trust me,I know what I am getting myself into. Even if I don't know,I would still come with you"

Storm sighed with closed eyes,"There's only enemy out there in my world. You have no idea how many people I have offended. I've screwed around too much. Every man is out there for my blood. But if they knew you are with me,...Well you saw what happened. Gloria took Jake because she couldn't get a hold of you"

"What,what do you mean? Was she specially aiming for me?"

Storm went silent at that. He had this unreadable expression on his face as if he didn't know how to explain it.

Heeseung,"Why me?"

Storm looked away from him,as if running away from the question itself,"...I don't know"

Heeseung had a lingering idea why but he was scared to ask. He was scared to get hurt. What if this is just a fleeting feeling for Storm? What it's just a temporary attraction? What if it's only lust for him?

Silence again.

Tomorrow is going to change everything. Their whole lives would change. No,maybe their lives had already changed. It changed the moment Storm came to their world—no,it changed way before that,when Heeseung found the destiny book right next to his door.

"You know.....my mom was killed 8 years ago",Heeseung said quietly.

Storm looked down at the man in his arms with a confused gaze. Heeseung smiled,"She was killed by one of my dad's rivals. For years,I blamed my dad for that. I blamed everyone around me. I despised every living being. I even hated myself for being such a pathetic lowlife. I couldn't even do anything to protect her"

Storm was silent. His eyes were blank. But Heeseung knew that Storm recognised the familiar pain.

"That's why I paid a lot more attention to you when I read the book. I thought we were similar. So,I understood you more than any other character in the book. But then I realised,no body can actually understand and feel what another person's life even if we went through something similar......Emotions are complicated"

Storm suddenly sat up abruptly,clenching his fists on his lap. "Enough",he whispered.

Heeseung also sat up slowly,"...You were happy here,you smiled and laughed. There was no hatred in your eyes,Storm"

"Where are you going with this?",Storm was slowly building his guard up but when Heeseung back hugged him from behind,he relaxed into the touch.

"I know that hatred was what kept you going. It was what gave you a hope to live. But.....there's so much more if you gave up on hating everything"

"I have nothing —"

"Come back with me.....After we found Jake,let's come back. You have me here. You have Jake and Sunghoon. Trust me,they look like nutjobs but there are really glad to have you here"

"I don't think Sunghoon wants me here anymore. Not after this week",Storm said with a light laughter earning an eye roll from Heeseung.

"Everything will be fine when we find Jake. Let's take him back. But for now,let's sleep"

Storm looked back at Heeseung before nodding his head in agreement. He leaned forward before giving him a peck.

"Needed a bit of healing",Storm gave a reason to kiss Heeseung making him frustrated. "Just kidding. Let's go back to sleep"

And like that,they fell asleep for the last time in this world.

A whole new world is awaiting for them.

_________

Storm and Heeseung stood up when Sunghoon entered the vacation house. He had been sleeping in a hotel after the first night experience in the vacation house.

The trio settled in the living room,surrounded a round table. On the table,was the destiny book,Heeseung had always kept it closer to him,brought it wherever he went.

Heeseung looked at Storm,wanting to change his mind one last time,"Sunghoon,you don't really have to come. I'll definitely bring Jake back"

Sunghoon took out his phone and waved it infront of Heeseung,"I already resigned from my job. Can't go back now"

Heeseung also let one of his most trusted friends to handle his company until he comes back. They never know what might happen and when will they even come back. The time zones are different. And they might even die there.

"But your parents",Heeseung tried one last time.

Sunghoon smiled,it was a really sad smile,"I told them I was going abroad. I know they must be upset but I still have to go. My brother needs me more now"

On the other hand,Heeseung said nothing to his father. He just sent a plain text message to his brother asking not to search for him. Anyways,they would hardly care about his whereabouts.

Heeseung sighed and nodded. This was it.

Storm,"Are we ready?"

Heeseung and Sunghoon looked at each other before giving  a firm nod.

"Let me remind you,my world is not like here. If someone wants to kill you,they will kill you"

Sunghoon,"Seriously?"

"Yes",Storm confirms.

"That's brutal but whatever"

Storm opens the book infront of the two humans. Only Heeseung could see the letters,to others they were just blank pages.

"What are you going to do? You can't read what's in there",Heeseung silently asked.

Storm started feeling the book pages with his fingers,laser focused on something. He closes his eyes for a moment and touched the pages after pages and paused when he reached a certain page. Opening his eyes,he grinned,"I knew it"

Sunghoon,"Knew what?"

"This book,it's what brought me here. It has a spell casted on it. This spell was what brought me here. And it will bring us back there. It's a two sided portal spell. One can go and come back from it"

Sunghoon,"??"

Heeseung,"...wow"

Sunghoon,"You really understand what he says"

Heeseung looked at Sunghoon and shrugged,"Kinda"

"Get ready,I'm going to activate this spell",Storm utters before focusing on the book.

A second past and all of a sudden,a red light started glowing from the book. Various ancient looking signs and shapes started emerging from the book,wind started howling inside the house. It was suddenly dark. Like a horror movie.

Heeseung was batshit scared while Sunghoon on the other hand was amazed and shocked. The man was weird for finding this amusing for someone who had never seen or heard about these magic stuff. Even Heeseung couldn't hide his fear and shock.

In the middle of the living room,a black hole started sppearing. At first,it was small but it slowly got wider taking a shape of a giant eye. From the darkness inside,there were firs around the perimeter of the eye. In the middle,it was again black.

"...mom",Storm mumbles.

Heeseung looks at Storm who was still staring into the book.

The magic essence,Storm could recognise them. Because he had felt it before. His mother,the moment she embraced the baby Storm when he has just being born,he felt her warmth. He was someone who could remember every single thing since his birth so of course he would recognise his mother's own magic. It was definitely her who made this destiny book. For Storm. Bit what was confusing was why she made it from Gabriel's point of view.

Shaking his head,he looked at the portal,"Let's go. Follow after me"

Storm took the book to his hand and walked towards the portal. He paused infront of the portal and took a deep breath,"Here I am coming"

And he entered.

Heeseung looked at Sunghoon and nodded. Heeseung entered the portal before Sunghoon and then Sunghoon followed after.

When they opened their eyes, they were right in the middle of a plaza. A giant capital plaza. People were walking around everywhere. The outfits were very much different from them. Women only wore gowns,men were dressed in casual day to day shirts and trousers. It had a touch of European ancient culture.

And infront of them was a water fountain with statues of women. It was really beautiful.

Heeseung and Sunghoon were in awe. It was a lot different from their worlds. They were so amazed that they didn't notice Storm's darkening gaze as an evil smirked crept into his lips.

"Let's tell them I am home",he says with an eerie voice which probably has a sort of meaning 'hell is back bitches'

Before Heeseung could say anything,Storm summons his sword. In a blink of an eye,he destroys the beautiful water fountain to pieces.

"That's.....probably not a good way to say 'hello' ",Sunghoon commented with a blank look.

Storm right now,is different. The hatred is back. The seething anger,the blinding rage,everything is back. The devil he hid when he was in another world,it has reappeared.

"Storm wait!",Heeseung yelled as he tried getting a hold of Storm but he was on his way to destroy another statue.

"This is the fastest way to call them ,Heeseung. They will definitely come here"

Heeseung was freaking out at this point,"We don't HAVE to do it this way!! We can just —"

"Barge into Pendragon house? Alright,let's go then",Storm grins liking his own idea.

But he couldn't really take another step when a dozen of knights started surrounding them. They all had Pendragon symbol on their knights uniforms.

"He was right. It really brought some people here",Sunghoon nodded observing the surrounding. "Are we going to jail now?"
