Dark Side (Kim Taehyung & Kim So Hyun)
Episode 4 - Shadow or Illusion? (2)

Previews

He really felt dumbfounded now. He had not expected this family to not remember In Hyong as their child. Surprisingly, they remembered who So Hyun was.

'Why...' Inner So Hyun started talking again.

He remembered the words of the two parents from In Hyong. Not only that, three days after the incident, there was no one who remembered who In Hyong was. In fact, his classmates were the same.

Who can still remember In Hyong who it was just himself - So Hyun-, Eun Soo, Taehyung and Jimin. Oh yes one more, Mi So... The rest of them are like memory loss.

The wind came back to his face. He could feel the calmness in his heart, but not in his mind.

When he opened his eyelids, he found a girl of his age standing 5 meters away from where he was sitting. The girl smiled with a typical haircut.

So Hyun immediately rubbed his eyes, making sure what he saw was real. The girl smiled as she waved her hand towards So Hyun.

That girl is In Hyong. So Hyun immediately got up and started to step closer to In Hyong. But the girl stepped back.

"So Hyun-ah, help me.." said In Hyong.

The girl immediately turned her body and walked away. He seemed to want to take So Hyun to a place.

With a caring feeling, So Hyun immediately stepped up to follow In Hyong as quickly as possible. Getting closer, but In Hyong stepped away in a hurry.

So Hyun immediately accelerated his pace. In Hyong continued walking quickly. While chasing In Hyong, So Hyun's body felt like it was being pulled backwards. Then, hit something a little hard.

Instantly, his sight also became broken. He was already in someone's arms. The girl looked up and looked at who had grabbed him. Taehyungs...

He showed up again. As soon as the girl pushed the man's body hard, and prepared to run after In Hyong. Taehyung's body was about to fall backwards due to that impulse. However Taehyung clasped So Hyun's left hand, restraining the girl from leaving.

"Somehow are you worried about your best friend, until you want to kill yourself like this?" Taehyung said with great emphasis. However, So Hyun did not understand that sentence at all.

'Suicide? Who wants to kill themselves?' Inner So Hyun muttered.

He soon awakens from his inner speech. "Take me off! In Hyong is asking for help, stupid!" so Hyun said loudly. He seemed to remain determined to pursue the figure of In Hyong that he had just seen.

"There's no fool here!" taehyung reply was no less harsh.

So Hyun turned his head to look at Taehyung in confusion. Though he heard and saw the figure of In Hyong very clearly.

The girl forced herself to let go of the grip of the hand that kept gripping her. Although, his right hand was painful due to the movement of his body that was trying hard to escape from Taehyung's.

"I saw! He's asking for help. So, let go of me! In Hyong has met!" So Hyun pulled his hand.

"Listen to me." muttered Taehyung softly. "Nobody here except you and me. Try, you look down...."

So Hyun began to turn his gaze down. His eyes are perfectly round. Both of his feet were at the end of the flat roof of his school.

He could feel that he was standing at a height of approximately 12 meters. His body began to tremble in fear. So Hyun started to back his steps slowly.

"seen? Did you believe it? There's nobody here." Taehyung grunted convincingly. He also helped So Hyun to step back.

"In Hyong.." muttered So Hyun. He was very sure that he saw the figure of In Hyong who asked for help from him earlier.

Taehyung sniffed his breath. Once again, So Hyun's life was saved by his sudden presence.

Jimin and Eun Soo surround the school on the second floor. They searched where So Hyun was.

The school is deserted. There was only a lamp that shone with a dim light, like it was about to die. The sky had also been like telling him to go home as soon as possible, before they had to hit the heavy rain.

While passing through the Physics laboratory, Eun So stopped her steps with wide eyes. He felt a gust of wind passing through his right body.

Not only the wind, he also saw a girl dressed in uniform passing by in passing. His body started to creep.

"Ji-Jimin... I think we should go home soon." Eun Soo said in a trembling voice. "Because I saw a figure that passed me quickly..."

Jimin slightly held back his laughter. He felt that what Eun Soo said to him sounded ridiculous. Ever since they passed through the laboratory, he had not felt any gusts of wind pass next to him. Eun Soo still stays in her position, and Jimin turns her back.

Both of Jimin's eyes immediately widened. Right behind Eun Soo who was still standing in fear, the figure of the girl dressed in uniform stood up with a sweet smile.

"Eun Soo-ah! It's In Hyong!!" squeal Jimin hard.

Eun Soo wakes up and looks at Jimin in confusion. To be honest, the fur stood up. His body was goosebumps, the surroundings felt extremely cold.

The figure that Jimin said that it was In Hyong, immediately fled towards the library.

Quickly, Jimin pulls Eun Soo's hand to blind In Hyong who is running in squeaking shoes.

"Jimin-ah, no!" ban Eun Soo with great fear.

"Just calm. We're just gonna get her home as soon as possible." Jimin dodged in a very confident voice.

Inevitably, Eun Soo enters while trailing Jimin right behind him.

Jimin walked first to where In Hyong was sitting while still smiling sweetly and kindly. Jimin immediately returned the smile In Hyong was no less warm. Maybe because of a factor, if Jimin ever liked In Hyong.

The closer Jimin steps, In Hyong immediately got up and thrust out his palm. The girl was seen smiling cheerfully to accept the invitation from Jimin. Jimin took a step towards In Hyong. Eun Soo is still speechless afraid, she can only stand on the shelf of old literature books.

Jimin is getting closer to In Hyong. The man stepped forward with certainty. Because he smiled too wide, Jimin's eyes looked like a line that was curved upside down. He looks very focused with the figure of In Hyong who looks beautiful according to him.

Suddenly a thunderous voice struck out loudly. Eun Soo's body immediately shuddered in horror so shocked. His eyes were tightly closed and both his hands were covering his ears.

When the thunderous sounds began to subside, Eun Soo opened her eyelids again slowly. His eyes were already fully literate, and he got a figure that made him shocked instead of playing.

Jimin walked up to the black shadow figure who was brandishing a dagger towards him. There was no In Hyong figure there. Jimin continued to walk while smiling. Eun So glanced both directions at once. The girl immediately stepped quickly towards Jimin.

"Wake up, Stupid Jimin!" eun Soo shouted as he moved his legs closer.

Jimin did not turn his head in the direction of Eun Soo. He still walked towards a black shadow that seemed creepy and even out of shape.

Only the hand that was thrusting the dagger was seen. Jimin still walked there. It was an illusion. Jimin was still stepping towards that shadow. In his eyes, it was the figure of In Hyong who was still smiling.

Without thinking any longer, Eun Soo pulls the thick encyclopedia. He screamed while hitting Jimin's back quite tight using the encyclopedia.

"DUMB JIMIN! LET'S WAKE UP!!"

Jimin instantly stopped his steps instantly, he shouted loudly. The man immediately groped his back which felt hot and throbbing.

He turned his body around and looked at Eun Soo. But for Eun Soo, she is grateful that Jimin's consciousness is back.

"Akhs! Don't you have feelings?! Sick, stupid! As strong as a man, if you hit me with a book this thick, the pain is not playing!" jimin's scolding is hard.

Eun Soo glanced behind Jimin and her eyes widened. The shadow began to walk quickly towards Jimin who was nagging him. The dagger was still in the grasp of that strange shadow.

"Jimin-ah behind you!!" Pekik Eun Soo is tight.

Jimin turned his body quickly, the shadow was inches from where he was standing.

It turns out that the shadow not only has hands, but eyes too. His eyes were burning red, and over time his figure resembled a human.

Jimin whose consciousness had returned was shocked. He realized that he had been smiling all this time and came to a shadow that was about to kill him. Not approaching In Hyong.

"I guess..." Jimin immediately clasped Eun Soo's hand firmly. "I think we should run!"

Jimin pulls Eun Soo's hand while running as fast as he can. In the end the shadow stopped stepping, and disappeared like dust carried by the wind.

***

Taehyung pulled So Hyun's left hand slowly towards the lobby. Their breaths were heavy and hunting. They try to catch each other's breath.

They ran from the roof to the lobby because of something chasing them. I don't know, his figure resembles a gumiho.

In the middle of their breath-soothing break, Eun Soo and Jimin run while shouting. The sound of their footsteps sounded like a horse pulling a carriage.

Their running steps came to a halt right in front of Taehyung and So Hyun. Jimin regulated his roaring breath as he coughed.

"I.. hosh...taste us... hosh..hust go home soon!" jimin said with a breath of excitement.

Taehyung froze. The figure he had seen when he was roofed with So Hyun, was now standing between the entrance lobby and the teacher's room.

Eun Soo saw that too. The same person as in the library. However, it now resembles a black woman.

"Run!!" yell at them at the same time.

***

At the same time, the figure disappeared again. A man leaned against the old maple tree of the school while snorting. He picked a stem of a newly blooming red rose. Then, inhale the aroma deeply.

"This time, I let you run. But for the next, I won't let it go." said the man sneaky.
