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

Uncovered

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW

The whole place spins into circles until it all diminishes, Liridona now stood alone in a dark and desolate place. The ground she stood on was wet, then soon enough the place transformed into a white room. Everything around it is circular, the windows, door, table, bed... You name it.

"Hello?"

But there was no answer, she tried to look out the window but it was just pure white background. Is the light playing a trick on her? No, it does not look like a mere light trick to her. "Liridona," The sound of the voice that the man she loves resonated around the room. "J-Junghyuk?" She approaches the door with shaky hands, every hair in her body seems to stand up and shiver.

"Why am I here?"

The voice ignored her inquiries and remained silent for a while. "How could you forget?" Liridona gasped and fall behind in shock, "Are y-you the Secretive Plotter?" the said man opened the door in the room she was dwelling in. She was astounded at what she saw, It was Yoo Junghyuk. And behind him were a thousand mini versions of him.

"Liridona, come to me, my love." She reluctantly held his roughed and calloused hands. The plotter thought, 'That's right, stay with me. Ignore that version of me who doesn't know anything.' The plotter relishes in his delight as he finally touched her hand. But not for long, Liridona needs to return.

"My love, you need to understand that I need your help... Stay with me," Liridona searches his eyes for her silent queries, "This scar." She trailed her fingers at his face. "I have never seen it before," The Plotter straightened his back and gazed down at her. "Are you also... Yoo Junghyuk?" The Plotter detests that name, but for her... "Yes, I have traveled the horizons to find you. Scoured the whole universe to find someone who can love me."

He can see she was hesitating on his words, "I have regressed more than a thousand times." And something inside Liridona quivered, It was an anguishing pain. She felt sad knowing that the man she loves has suffered for so long. "Oh, what can I do to make it up to you?" The Plotter subtly smirked, "Leave them."

Liridona took a step back hearing his words. "I cannot do that they're my friends," The Plotter sighed and look down. "I know you'll never choose me... But if that makes you happy." Liridona sighed and approached him. She hugged him tightly and buried her face in his chest, "I'll get you sooner or later... But you must return now." Liridona felt light-headed, and before she even comprehends his last words. She had passed out and left the room.

Liridona went to her old state and gasped in a breath, she was still standing at the same podium. But she's now behind Yoo Junghyuk's huge form. The whole crowd was in an uproar, seemingly mad at Han Sooyoung.

"You dare!"

"Where is the rightful heir of the Kaixenix line?"

"Kill that wench!"

Han Su-Yeong didn't panic and unsheathed the sword. "And this sword is the proof of my kingship." [Unbreakable Faith] emitted blindingly pure white light. Several of the crowd recognized the weapon and went down on their knees, but still, the majority were shooting glares of distrust in their direction. It was here that Yu Jung-Hyeok stepped forward.

"She is indeed the Archipelago's new ruler."

The expressions of fluster appeared on the faces of the First Prince's supporters after he made that declaration. Vigorous opposition quickly rose from the revolutionaries. "But, but, how can that be... Something like this has never happened before!" Liridona felt far more away than anything else, everyone sounded so muffled. A silent ringing was echoing in her ear, the earlier happening had her feeling like jello.
