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

Ah, Jealousy

THIRD PERSONS POINT OF VIEW

It wasn't fatigue that caused her such drowsiness... It was for a lurking presence in her mind. She can still remember vividly how strange and parallel noises always fill her ears whenever she's alone. It was as if someone was calling her attention. Before she pass out she heard it... The sound of someone knocking. She wan't to tell him that, but for some reason, the topic seem to leave her mind the moment she was in front of her man. 

It was silent after that monologue, Then there it is again. The bothering sound of knocking, she drew in a wasp of air and calmed her rapid heartbeat. She can't let it show, he's here. Next to her was an old and worn-down door. Someone's shadow was cast next to it, it is her first time seeing it. Only having to hear it thrice, "Liridona". Spoke a very familiar voice to her, but this one sounded far chilling and outright demanding. The once orange and cloudy sky was warped in dark clouds and a heavy atmosphere in an instant.

Liridona awakened, she was in laying still and sweaty on Yoo Junghyuk's lap. "Nightmare?" The male above him asked, "Y-yeah, a bad nightmare." But he knows it's a lie, but he doesn't want to pry for her sake. Yoo Junghyuk and Kim Dokja were looking at Han Sooyoung lying on top of a luxurious bed. From a while ago, the sounds of chaotic explosions continued to ring out from beyond the royal castle's walls. All the ruckus was made by two factions fighting a bloody battle, one agreeing to the ascension of their new ruler, and the other being the citizens who rejected her. "Yuri di Aristel's rule was bound to fail in the end," said Yoo Junghyuk in a critical tone of voice. "As for us, we should've tried to gather the king's flagbearers scattered around the powerful families in the kingdom. After that, steadily erode the king's influence, and unveils the [Unbreakable Faith] to complete the task. If that happened, the archipelago wouldn't have fallen into chaos like this." Liridona felt out of place, here she is. She is having a dilemma about someone knocking on an invisible door, while her members here are busy figuring out the scenario.

"Right, that would've been the best-case scenario."

"If you knew that, then why...."

"However, had we stuck to that plan, then... Her 50 years would've become even longer, you know."

"....."

"I didn't want to extend her 50 years by even one minute if I could help it."

Liridona felt clammy and nervous for some reason, she knew she wasn't asleep. The words of the two males were a buzzing sound in her ear, "-this is all because I made a deal with the 'King of Reincarnators'." She looked at Kim Dokja to see his face warped with regret. She then felt the male above her tense, she gazed at him and saw him glaring right at the other male in the room. But then, he squeezed his eyes shut as if to suppress his anger and leaned his back against the couch's cushions his hand caressing Liridona's hair "I'd like to say something, but it seems that someone else will do that for me, instead." Liridona saw Han Sooyoung get up. "What?" Right in that next instant, Han Sooyoung swung her tiny hand right at Dokja's nape. "Hey, Kim Dokja! Everything's screwed up because of you!" Han Su-Yeong brushed her hair lazily and sat upright, before looking at the absent-minded woman in Yoo Junghyuk's lap. "She good? She looks like she saw a ghost." Yoo Junghyuk saw the faraway look on Liridona's face, he know he can drown in her deep thoughts just by observing her state.

"I left behind methods for you to follow, didn't I? How come you lot can't even do what's in the manual?! You guys are even worse than Lee Hyunsung! You hear me?!" Lee Hyunsung was peeking his head inside through the open gap for a moment there. "Kim Dokja, Recite to me the three methods I wrote down." The said male sighed. "First method, 'Fusion Fantasy' route." But Liridona wasn't listening anymore, the rapid knocking on her mind was turning into pounding. The shadow cast over the door seemed to creep into the floor- "The second method, 'Fantasy'. Liridona can you tell me the contents?" Liridona's breathing was ragged, her forehead was wet with sweat. Yoo Junghyuk can feel her shaking in his lap. "Liridona...  The contents?" Yoo Junghyuk grabbed her shoulders in panic as he saw how distraught she looked.
