MIYOUNG POV

I gasped in horror when I saw Baekhyun being slammed to the mirror.

Tiny pieces of mirror pierced through Baekhyun's soft, pale skin and blood rushing out from

his body.

"What had you done to him?!" Joonmyun growled fiercely.

"Too bad, he's still can't defeat me even after years." He smirked.

"Who are you?" I whispered.

I'm sure I asked the same question before but I still want to confirm it once again.

"I am Ha Jun, the Prince of Darkness. The enemy of Baekhyun who was once my twin

brother." Ha Jun smirked.

"I'm sure that Baekhyun never told you about me." He said and I noticed he frowned before

he returned to his stoic face.

"Why do you think so?" Kyungsoo asked calmly.

"Because we hate each other." Ha Jun laughed.

"We did know you. Who didn't know the Prince who throw his twin brother out of his home

just because of the throne?" Chanyeol asked sarcastically.

Is Baekhyun from the royal's family?

"He deserved that. He's weak and fragile, which made it easier to crush him from inside and

out." Ha Jun replied with a shrug.

Suddenly, Baekhyun's bleeding body glowed in dark and the lights flickered until lights

lighten all the dark spots in the room.

I turned my head and I noticed Ha Jun wasn't there anymore.

"Run!" Jongin shouted as my legs automatically chasing them from behind.

"Why are we running?! Where did Ha Jun went?" I asked while running.

"He'll only be with us if we keep the lights out!" Sehun replied.

"Well are you scared of him?!" I asked.

"I didn't give a damn about him, I'm just going to search for the white flag and win this

game!" Joonmyun shouted and suddenly the lights flickered.

Oh no.

This is much worse than the movie entitled "Lights Out", directed by James Wan.

"Hurry up, grab something that will provide you the light!" Joonmyun ordered and all of us

grab something.

I grabbed a sword from the knight mannequin along the hallway.

"A sword can't provide the damn light, Miyoung!" Kyungsoo shouted in frustration.

"At least I could stab him!" I shouted back in anger before everything went dark.

I heard a few cursing words lingered around me which I believe coming from EXO.

We all stayed at the same position, wait--

Maybe I'm the only one who stay at the same position.

I slowly reached out one of my hand to find the walls which I found it in a few seconds.

I could feel a hand with long fingers so I grab the hand instantly thinking it might be one of

EXO members.

"Hey, EXO." I whispered.

"What?" Chanyeol asked but his voice is very distant from me.

"Whose hand that I was holding?" I whispered.

"Not me." One by one of EXO members replied and I gulped.

Whose hand that I was holding?

I slowly let go of the hand and silently scream when the hand reach for my hand back.

I'm so dead.

"Can you use your light to find out whose hand that I was holding?" I asked desperately.

Lights lighten my spot and my eyes were blinded with the light.

A few seconds later, I found out that Jongin was the one who was holding the torchlight.

I slowly looked by my side but no one was there.

Oh great.

Now whose hand that I just hold?

All of sudden, Jongin's body float in the air by itself.

"Sehun, put me down!" Jongin growled.

"I didn't do it!" Sehun hissed while pulling his right leg with Kyungsoo helping by pulling

Jongin's left leg.

"Stop pulling my legs! I could felt it torn apart!" Jongin shouted.

Suddenly, an invisible force push Jongin upwards harshly which resulting Jongin, Sehun and

Kyungsoo slammed against the ceiling.

I was about to run but my shirt stuck to a knight mannequin on my right.

"Help me!" I shouted but Joonmyun and Chanyeol had already ran away.

Just great.

I heard footsteps coming to my direction which made me decide to pull the hem of my shirt

harshly.

"Please go eat Joonmyun and Chanyeol first." I pleaded while pulling my shirt a bit harder

until it was torn.

I run away to the opposite direction from Chanyeol and Joonmyun with a sword in hand.

It's heavy but I didn't care about it right now.

It was hard to see but thanks to my healthy eyes, I could slightly see in dark, although I had

been tripped for 4 times in row.

I found a room, which I immediately grab the doorknob and slammed the door.

My legs give up as I slide down against the door.

Focus, Miyoung!

This is just a game! You wouldn't die, they'll not let me die, will they?

Ah! The hint!

"Which part of my body had the darkest side?"

What?

Eyes? He must had black eyes?

Is that meant I should get his eyes out from the socket to win the game?

Eww. No. That must not be the answer!

Mind. He must be thinking of evil things so it become very dark! But it something I couldn't

reach at all.

Heart?

Yes, heart!

It's all started with heart! He must become merciless to start doing evil things. So his heart

must kept all dark things in it to become ruthless!

"Heart! The answer is heart so let me go now!" I shouted hoping Mr Jang could hear me.

A huge frame which was hanging at the wall moves slightly and my heart thumped in

anxious.

I believed it was a picture of a royal family.

I saw a couple was wearing crown meaning they were the King and Queen with two sons on

their side.

The prince's face on the Queen's side had been scratched off and I couldn't make out the

face of another prince.

His body was in dark.

All I saw is his piercing eyes.

And that's when my breath hitched.

The eyes shifted and looked straight at me.

Oh damn.

I was about to run when a pair of strong arms grabbed my shoulder hardly from my back.

I screamed when I realised it was the prince of darkness, Ha Jun.

Light. Light. I need light!

He pushed me until I fell onto a soft mattress.

My body froze when my eyes met him.

I let him hold my head with his long and calloused fingers without struggling then he looked

straight to my eyes with a strong gaze.

I could felt myself being pulled into a dark hole which make me feel nausea.

I screamed when I felt a belt come in contact with my bare back.

"Stop it!" I screamed as my skin burns.

"Shut up! You don't deserve to say anything!" He growled, my step brother, Minjun.

Before he could swing the belt, I turned around and kicked him.

I'm so tired with his abusive side.

I kicked him on his knee and he fall to the floor.

I run to the door instantly but my tears naturally wells in my eyes when he grabbed a fistful of

my hair.

He threw me to the bed effortlessly and trapped me by putting his hands on my side.

He kissed me as I struggled to pull away.

I don't let my tears to escape as I kept trying kick him but then he use his hands to hold my

hands and use his legs to pinned my legs.

"I hate you! I hate you!" I chanted when he pulled back.

"I hate you more, Miyoung." He smirked and I felt my cheek stings a lot and my vision

blackened.

Where am I?

Where is the prince of darkness?

I need to get his heart!

I need to win!

The moment my eyes creaks open, I saw Minjun sleeping by my side.

No! This can't be! No!

I pushed the sheets and realised that the sheets was the only thing that covered my bare

body.

I pulled the sheets back with tears threatened to roll down.

"NO!" I screamed.

***

My body jerked forward and all I see was Dr Shin with her nurses rush to my side.

"Calm down, sweetheart." Dr Shin said as she pushed me down to bed gently but I pushed

her hands.

Is Minjun here?

Will he torture me again?

Will he torn me apart again?

"Sedate her with anaesthetic." Dr Shin ordered and within a seconds all my limbs turns weak

and I plopped to the bed back.

"What had happened?" I asked, my head felt slightly dizzy effect from the anaesthetic.

"You don't remember anything?" She asked, her eyebrows quirked in amusement.

"I remember I took the test with EXO that night." I answered, forced myself to remember

everything.

And I remembered how EXO members injured badly except that two jerks who left me alone.

"How about EXO members? Are they injured badly?" I asked in panicked tone.

"No Miyoung, not even a scratch." Dr Shin said.

"But I saw Baekhyun being slammed against the mirror and his body was bleeding a lot." I

said in confusion.

"You see, Miyoung, It was just a game. It's actually a simulated game. So everything in there

isn't real." Dr Shin said and I frowned.

"Then why I am here but not the others?" I asked.

"I don't know why but it different when it comes to you." Dr Shin replied.

"I saw everything and so does the others." She added.

She saw everything happened to me?

Even with Minjun?

"The prince of darkness put too much pressure on your head and that's when the game

stopped." She said.

"You see anything other than that?" I asked, feeling insecure.

"No, just until that and next you’re rushed to my infirmary." She replied.

"It felt so real." I murmured, fiddling with my fingers.

"It was built to make you felt everything seems real though." Dr Shin replied.

"The prince of darkness claimed himself as Baekhyun's twin. Is that true?" I asked.

"I never know myself. Why don't you ask Baekhyun, himself? He know better than you ask

someone else." Dr Shin advised.

"He'll ignore me. I believe he'll never tell me anything about it." I frowned, crossing my arms.

"Miyoung, I think we should talk about something else." Dr Shin said and I saw concerned

written in her face.

"Aren't we talking right now?" I asked, letting out a nervous laugh.

I knew it wasn't a good ones when I saw her face expression.

It makes me confused and scared.

"I saw a lot scars on your back." Dr Shin said and I felt my world stopped.

I kept my gaze lowered and keep fiddled with my fingers.

She saw it.

She saw it.

She must be disgusted of me.

"Now I had ruined your life, Miyoung. Everyone will hate you once they saw your scars and

know your past time with me, even Mom will hate you."

I gulped when I remembered what he had said to me.

I remember that morning, after he take everything from me, I left home and went to Aeri's

house.

Just then, I got a called that my mother was involved with a car accident and was in

comatose state while my so called brother disappeared.

He never come back..

.. even after Mom passed away a few months later..

"Miyoung.." Dr Shin said softly as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Can I go back to my dorm now, Dr Shin?" I asked.

She got the message that I didn't want to tell anything about it as she nodded.

"Of course, you can go back to your dorm now. Just remember that my door is always open

for you." Dr Shin said with a sweet smile formed on her lips.

"Thank you, Dr Shin." I said before Dr Shin left.

I changed my clothes into my clothes from yesterday and get out from the place.

I walked back to my dorm with the help of some signboards that show me way back to my

dorm.

I'm still not use with this place.

I hugged my sides when cold breeze hits my skin.

I was walking along the hallway alone and shivered when the thoughts of Minjun come back

to me.

What if he shown up here?

I was busy with my thoughts until I accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry! Are you okay, Miyoung?" Hyunsik asked.

"Yeah.." I replied weakly and it didn't convinced Hyunsik.

"Let me escort you back to dorm." He offered and I nodded when I knew he'll push me to

make me agreed with it.

"What did the prince of darkness did to you?" Hyunsik spoke out.

"What do you meant? You saw everything, right?" I asked, remembering how Dr Shin said

that everyone saw what happened.

"I know but you looks so terrified after he placed his hands on you. You heartbeat pace

increases and your blood pressure becomes very high until Mr Jang decided to stopped the

game." Hyunsik said.

Of course, I'm terrified.

I met my brother in my memories that I didn't want to remember.

"You realised how serious was that, right?" Hyunsik asked.

"It's just my dark past that I don't want to remember it.. at all." I replied, rubbing my arms

using my palm.

Another habit of mine other than fiddling with my fingers.

"I'm sorry." Hyunsik frowned but I shrugged.

"No, it's fine." I smiled.

"Did our team won?" I asked, thinking of Chanyeol and Joonmyun could win the game.

"Sadly, no. Chanyeol and Joonmyun being slammed against the wall, just like others and

you're the last one to stay alive in the game. Your team still lose even though you got the

correct answer" Hyunsik replied.

"Which team won?" I asked.

"Namjoon's." Hyunsik answered shortly and I nodded.

As expected.

"Thank you for walking me back to dorm." I smiled as we reached in front of my dorm's door

and he just smile shyly.

"I wonder if..." He paused.

"Yes?" I asked, gesturing him to proceed.

"I wonder if Juhyun is in the dorm." He said and rubbed his nape nervously.

I chuckled as I unlocked the door with the keys that I managed to found in my pocket pants.

I saw Juhyun sitting on a chair with her messy bun.

Her eyes met with Hyunsik as both of them blushed.

I shook my head with a smile.

Why I didn't notice it before?

Both of them are in love with each other.

Juhyun pulled her hair band and walked to Hyunsik then both of them walks away.

I sighed as I close the door and unlock it.

I sat on my bed and my eyes shifted to the clock on my nightstand.

5.58 PM.

Sehun wouldn't expect me to come to his training, right?

I ignored the thoughts and went to bathroom to take a cold shower.

As soon as I pulled my shirt, I noticed two large, red hand marks on both side of my

shoulders.

What had happened to me?

I didn't see it before the game.

And I totally didn't check my shoulders when I changed my clothes in the infirmary.

The thoughts of Ha Jun grabbed my shoulder in the game clouded my mind.

Does Ha Jun exist?

Does the real Ha Jun came into the game?

I need to find Baekhyun.

I immediately take a shower, scrubbing each inch of my body when I remembered how dirty I

am in both of the game and from the dark memories.

I changed into some casual T-shirts with jeans and get out from my dorm.

I began to find Baekhyun as I walks to the forest when the Chanyeol said he saw Baekhyun

went into the forest.

I saw Hyunwoo was walking with Yeojin around the forest, laughing.

"Hey, you're alive!" Yeojin hollered with excitement and patted my shoulder.

"Y-ye-ah.." I answered awkwardly.

"Did you saw Baekhyun? I was finding him." I added.

"135 steps to west, right next to the tree of life." Hyunwoo answered and my expression

turns into amused ones.

"That's his ability. To find the location of someone." Yeojin shrugged and I nodded.

I hope I have that ability, especially to stalk my crush.

But anyway, I count each steps I make to west.

It's getting darker and when it was the 135th steps to west, I still couldn't find Baekhyun.

But then, I heard noises from my left.

I saw Baekhyun was leaning against the glowing tree, murmuring something.

"Baekhyun?" I interrupted and he flinched.

He looked to my direction and his lips curled into a natural smile.

"I see that you're awake. How have you been?" Baekhyun asked.

"Better." I answered shortly.

"Why are you here? It's getting dark." Baekhyun replied.

"Why are you here, Baekhyun?" I asked back.

"I asked you first" Baekhyun chuckled.

"That doesn't matter." I replied.

"Well, I'm here to clean my mind after the extreme game that leads me to death in there."

Baekhyun said while crossing his arms.

"Now, why are you here in dark, pup?" Baekhyun asked.

"I'm not a pup." I narrowed my eyes and Baekhyun chuckle in response.

"That looks cute instead of intimidating, Miyoung." Baekhyun replied.

"I was finding for you." I said and Baekhyun's lips curls into a smirk in amusement.

"I want to ask you about something..." I muttered and Baekhyun slightly frowned.

"Go on..." Baekhyun replied, straightening himself.

"Is Ha Jun real? Is he your twin brother?" I asked, my voice was so low as I'm scared of his

reaction.

"It's none of your business." Baekhyun said and was about to walks away before I spoke out.

"I need to know because I get this damn large red hand marks on both sides of my

shoulders!" I hollered and he stopped.

"Where?" He asked and his eyes turned into darker shade.

In just a blink, he's already next to me.

He pushed my hair and saw the small part of the mark on my shoulder.

He closed his eyes and take exhaled deeply.

"I should have known that he was indeed there, playing the game with us." Baekhyun said,

closing his eyes as he try to calm down.

"Who he is to you, Baekhyun?" I asked.

"He was my twin..." Baekhyun said as he gritted his teeth before he turns his body so that

his back facing me.

"How did all of this happen? Why did both of you hate each other?" I asked, following

Baekhyun from back when he walked deeper into the forest.

Baekhyun stopped before he take steps forwards to me.

I gulped as I slowly take a few steps backwards.

Baekhyun's hands cupped each side of my head and his piercing gaze reminds me of his

twin, Ha Jun.

They had the same piercing eyes and strong gaze that will made you lost when you're

connected to their eyes.

I felt my eyes rolls to the back of my head and my body slumped to Baekhyun's arms.

Every limbs in my body turns numb until my I saw a vision.

"Baekhyun, let's play baseball with us!" A group of boys asked to another boy standing at the

door frame. They looks around 10 years old and were wearing fancy clothes.

I believe that the boy who's standing at the door frame was the younger version of

Baekhyun.

I realised that he looks the same until now.

"Prince Baekhyun, Prince Ha Jun needs you" A royal maid said, running to Baekhyun and

crouched down next to Baekhyun to match their heights.

"I can't go with you guys. Ha Jun needs me." Baekhyun said while the group of boys

frowned.

"You're always with Ha Jun. Are we meant nothing to you?" A boy, taller an inch than

Baekhyun said with crossed arms.

"You know Ha Jun needs me..." Baekhyun said, his voice was so low.

"I promised I'll join you play baseball next week." Baekhyun promised, sounded like

pleading.

"You always made a promise then break your promise for Ha Jun. We couldn't tolerate

anymore!" Another boy said.

"Just find us when you want to play." Another boy sighed before all of them left Baekhyun.

Baekhyun frowned.

"Did you want to play baseball with them? I could ask Prince Ha Jun to wait." The royal maid

said.

"No, Ha Jun needs me." Baekhyun's lips curled into a smile before he sprinted off to Ha

Jun's room.

Baekhyun push the door and get inside Ha Jun's dark room.

"Baekhyun, close the door. Lights could get inside my room..." Ha Jun said with a hoarse

voice for a 10 years old boy.

I'm 100% sure that Ha Jun have some skin problem because he sure hates light.

"Why didn't you play baseball with them, Baekhyun?" Ha Jun asked in dark.

Baekhyun couldn't see him in dark so he casually sat on the floor, leaning against the door.

"Because Ha Jun needs Baekhyun." Baekhyun answered.

"Then, Ha Jun will always be there for Baekhyun." Ha Jun said, putting his hands on

Baekhyun's.
