| Numinous | Yoo Junghyuk x OC! ON AN INDEFINITE HIATUS

We met again

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW

The same dock where he was in his first dream appeared again, but this time his head was on the lap of the girl he was searching for. Her eyes were green emeralds, bejeweled by their enamoring gaze that seemed to hold all his answers. Her long red auburn hair danced with the air rhythmically. He breathed a sigh as if he was staring into a goddess.

He tried to sit up but his head felt like splitting up, "Oh no, Please don't force yourself... I saw your body earlier at the dock bloody and bruised up." Her voice was soft yet firm in some way. "H-how did I get in here again?" His voice was unmistakenly soft, contradicting his always cold and stern voice.

"I believe it's called dream shifting..." The girl beamed at him, He bit his lips in anticipation seeing the girl smile so softly at him. He felt like melting into her arms. His guard was down but it all felt so right. "Just lie back down... I'll have you going back in the battle once you are at least recovered." He knitted his eyebrows in question. "What?" The girl once again smiled and massage his head.

Then like a tidal wave everything came rushing in again, they were fighting a tentacled outer god. He dropped Kim Dokja inside and he faint after excessive use of prowess. "You know, You and that guy have a lot of similarities." His stare hardens upon hearing that. "The both of you couldn't survive without one another, And I'm thankful he is there to save you..." The look serene while he recuperated on her lap was a sight to be held.

He didn't know why he willingly went with her, they were in a gazebo drinking hibiscus tea silently. "The swans are lovely don't you agree?" His head craned towards the swimming swans in the river beside the gazebo. "They are..." his voice was above a whisper. But in his eyes, the girl was the most beautiful scenery. As cliché as it sounds.

He put down his cup and stared at the biscuits in the tray, "Those are made by me." He look up as he saw the girl smiling fondly at him. "What's your name?" he reached out for one and tried a bit. It was soft in texture and he can feel it melt in his mouth. It was an oatmeal-flavored biscuit with dried strawberries. Instead of the texture rockhard. It was soft and easy to munch in. "My name is Liridona Amphelice." He was broken out of his trance hearing her speak of her name.

"I'm born in Greece, but I grow up in London... I move to Scotland when I was 15, and from then on I was leaving alone until now." Her eyes glinted with longing and sadness, It hurts him to see such a crestfallen sentiment in her exquisite eyes. "You know Korean?" The girl smiled again. This time he notice the small dimple beside her lips. "I've learned it for you." He has a lot of questions but he can't voice them out loud.

"It seems as though you need to wake back up again Joonghyuk." A smile encompasses his lips hearing him say his name. "We will meet again right?" The urgency in his voice shocked even him. "Of course," She kisses his cheek momentarily. It catches him off guard... But the slow rising of his lips can't be contained. "I'll see you again, Liridona."

Liridona's breath hitched as she heard him say his name before disappearing into thin air. "Yes, we'll meet again ámare." Then the wind covered her whole body and swept her away too. Indeed, it was a sweet dream for both of them. A dream they would gladly not wake up from anymore.
