♕Guardian Demon ∥ Yeonbin [✎]

Chapter 9

A mist seems to flood around them in an instant from nowhere. Soobin's view of the world faded and if it weren't for the two hands holding him tightly, he would have panicked and let go right away. In a moments time, he was alone in a misty world, the blurry figures of Taehyun and Yeonjun looking far from him. Then, the lighting changed softly, but abruptly for only a few seconds... and the fog begins to clear, leaving them standing at their destination. 

"Well, we're here. Felt like that took longer than usual," Taehyun sighed, brushing his sweaty palms on his pants. It seems, they were on a certain floor of a certain building. A hallway stretched down both sides, seemingly unending and the wall were white, flushed even more with the bright flour sent light. Soobin felt slightly nauseas and so decided to lean against the wall to catch his breath. A hand landed on his shoulder and he looked up from his bent position to see Yeonjun smiling down at him. 

"if you're thinking you're going to die, don't worry, everyone feels that way at first, you'll get used to it."

"Used to it?" Soobin breathlessly said, the feeling of nausea getting more intense. 

The other boy nodded and turned away to follow Taehyun towards the giant door on the other side of the wall. "We'll mostly be using teleportation to travel since it's faster anyways. You'll be fine in a few minutes."

"Wait, where are we?" Soobin asked before they opened the door. 

"On the 3rd floor of the headquarters of angels. I would have teleported just outside since inside is harder, but they'll probably make a huge fuss out of you. Sit tight will ya, we'll be out in a while," Taehyun replied and the two boys entered the Bor, the resounding boom of the heavy doors closing resounding down the hallway. 

Soobin, deciding perhaps abut of walking and fresh air will freshen him up, got up and started walking down on of the hallways that had a blip of light at the end. It was a surprisingly long walk, perhaps a few minutes long and multiple doors on it's sides. A few sections of the hallway were absent of light and Soobin picked up his pace a he passed them, reaching the end of the hallway. There were no windows, just more and more artificial light which seemed to make Soobin feel even worse. 

He ran down both sides but in then end, there wasn't really a so called 'end of the hallway' for him to reach so he trudged back triedly to where he came from,, in which, he almost got himself lost. Every hall way pretty much looks the same, not even a blemish was on any of the surface that he could take note of. 

When he came back, the chatters from the main room (he assumed) was still faintily echoing through the hallways. Soobin tried to listen but the voices were muffled and he figured even if he could hear, it's not like he'll understand anything.

I guess I'll go look around the other hallway, Soobin thought to himself as he stepped away from the door and sighed. Turning on his heels, he made his way down the dark aisle on his right, but this time, he decided, to investigate the rooms. As expected, some of the rooms were locked, and some only contained stale air and dust circling around from the rush of wind. 

But there were a few that perked his interest, the two doors at the end of the hallway, with a golden plate hung outside on each of the door. What was written on there wasn't English, however, Soobin could tell what kind of rooms they were from the interior. One of them seem to be a laboratory, larger than it seems on the inside then he would have thought. There were racks upon racks of vials and glass containers holding a rainbow colour of contents. He was pretty are he saw some ear and eyes being preserved but that section was in the storeroom in the room so he tried not to believe it. 

The other one was an ordinary library. It had an exquisite, ancient artefact design, antique chairs and comfortable reading spaces. It seems, this room was even bigger than the laboratory, almost impossible when Soobin though about it considering there was another room next to this. The stairs, carpeted with a deep red carpet spiralled up to the second floor where a single door greeted him above. Nothing else. Just a door.
