R E W I N D [Pt. 2]

I remembered Soobin's words. Start looking from where it may have begun.

And my jaw dropped as a train of realisation hit me.

“I fell into a hole so dark,
I couldn't distinguish life and death apart.
Lied to you and lit a flame in my heart,
I wish I could undo this and go back to start.”

~ Original poem by © Sanabuii

( One Year Back )

"Guys where do y'all always go away in the evening leaving me behind!?" I whined in a totally annoyed tone stomping my feet on the ground as we were heading back home from school. Again, today, the four boys asked me to go home by myself as they have some "work" to do where "girls aren't allowed".

"Hyun Ae, it's gaming stuff. Not for you." said Kai patting my head like I'm a baby.

I groaned and shoved his hand away. "Try me. I'd love to go gaming with you guys. Girls don't always play with dolls you know?" I retorted back.

"As for what I remember, you were crazy for barbie dolls when you were young." said Beomgyu while chuckling.

"Screw you guys! I'm multitasking!" I said and kicked some dirt. I had a frown on my forehead and a big pout. "Y'all aren't like before... Y'all always leave me out and have fun on your own..." I mumbled looking down at the ground.

"It's not that," Yeonjun finally spoke up as he put an assuring arm around my shoulders. "We're still the same." he said shortly.

"Oh really? Then why don't we hangout together like everyday then?" I almost snapped at him and he did look very surprised.

"Hyun Ae, we'll hang out together from tomorrow okay? We promise!" Taehyun cut in and eyed the guys as they all looked at each other with looks I couldn't quite decipher. Are they keeping secrets from me? No no... No way in hell.

"Promise?" I ask with hopeful eyes and look at each of their faces as they all nod.

"We promise."

I was doing my homework in the evening when I got a call. I looked at the caller ID and it was Yeonjun. I smiled to myself as I giddily received it and chimed in. "Hello~" I say in a sing song voice.

"Hey, are you free?" he said in rush. He didn't sound like himself. No teasing me with "jagiya~" or anything and his tone felt rather scary than happy.

"Why so serious?" I tried to joke so see if I get any favourable kind of reaction from him but none.

"Just answer me Hyun Ae!" the pitch of his tone went up a bit as I could sense his impatience. He was never like this. Why is he being so weird? I could even hear the other guys talking in the background in hushed tones but I couldn't quite make out what they were saying.

"Y-Yes." I reply getting slightly taken aback and bit my lip feeling a bit tensed.

"Good. Be ready, wear something fancy, I'll be coming to take you."
