The Life Behind The Painting
Episode 3

School -

"I'm finally back at this High School again, after 2 (two) months off," said Soo Hyun with a smile looking at his school building.

"What are you doing in High School?" Jin Young asked confused by the sentence Soo Hyun had just said.

"You've been there a long way, it's your friends" Soo Hyun said, slightly pushing Jin Young's body away from him.

Since childhood Soo Hyun and Jin Young have always been in the same school, until 2 (two) months ago Jin Young and his family went to Jeju Island and hoped that Jin Young would continue his education there, but he still came back here.

"Yes, yes I went there first" said Jin Young annoyed and passed away to his friends who happened to be near them.

Soo Hyun was busy looking back and forth, looking for someone she missed. But until now the person has not been seen his existence.

"SOO HYUN," shouted someone who was running by waving his hand towards Soo Hyun.

"For a long time, I've been waiting."

"I'm sorry, I dropped off my sister earlier" said Sae Ron, Soo Hyun's best friend since Elementary School, with a smile.

"Will me?" Jin Young asked Soo Hyun.

"Come back, bring me my own, and you will" Soo Hyun said, giving a cloth bag with two boxes of stock.

"Wait, why are you here?" Sae Ron's question saw Jin Young confused because he knew Jin Young would move to Jeju Island.

"Why? the wrong prince is coming again?" Jin Young asked confidently.

Soo Hyun and Sae Ron took their eyes off after hearing Jin Young's overconfident speech. Jin Young who saw the two of them behaving like that also felt annoyed at the cohesiveness of these two friends.

"GOOD MORNING ALL," cried Sung Jae who suddenly came from behind them.

"It's so bad for people" said Sae Ron, who was only greeted with a smile by Sung Jae.

"Jin Young, why are you here?, which child are you from, instead of moving?," asked Sung Jae when he realized that Jin Young was in front of him.

"Don't look at the uniform that I'm wearing" Jin Young replied resentfully because everyone seemed to remind her that she had actually moved out of this city.

At the beginning of the class hike before the long summer break, Jin Young's parents will indeed move to Jeju city due to work. But Jin Young's mother wants her son to graduate first and stay at Min Kyu's house and Jin Young's parents will move to Jeju Island.

- Kririring .. Kririring .

The sound of the school bell has rang indicating that students immediately enter their respective classes and prepare for lessons.

"What are you doing here?" Soo Hyun asked with a cynical look towards Jin Young.

"My name is in front of the young lady" Jin Young replied and then sat behind Soo Hyun.

"Hyun ssi, same cousin, don't be that way" said Sae Ron, holding back his laughter.

But Sae Ron's speech just passed without stopping in Soo Hyun's ear. Actually Soo Hyun did not really feel upset, he only liked to slightly prank Jin Young because Jin Young did the same to him.

.

A young man of about 25 years old in a shirt and tie that made him look charming, entered the classroom stealing the views of the students who were amazed by him.

"Good morning" said the man, greeting him and introducing himself as their new teacher and homeroom teacher.

- Rest -

"Why is this kid smiling to himself?" Sung Jae asked as he walked to where Sae Ron and Soo Hyun were.

"SAE RON," shouted Soo Hyun beside Sae Ron who was still busy with her daydream.

"Yes why? Soo Hyun don't scream like that, my ears are still normal" Sae Ron scolded.

"The new teacher is very handsome and young" said Sae Ron shyly.

"What about me?" Sung Jae asked with a regretful expression.

"You were better looking before he was," Soo Hyun replied making everyone laugh except Sung Jae who looked annoyed by Soo Hyun's expression.

the Min Kyu House -

"Finally being able to rest, my body feels very weak" Soo Hyun said as she threw herself into bed after she finished cleaning herself and eating.

Not a few minutes he closed his eyes, he had started to enter the dream world because he was too tired on the first day of school.

.

.

.

- Dreams -

"Em," Soo Hyun murmured by opening her eyes.

"This? Where am I? Why am I here?" He thought after gathering his consciousness back.

His eyes were perfectly rounded, having realized where he was and still could not believe what he was seeing. He was really very confused, how could he be in a place like this.

"So sure is pranking me, but this doesn't make any sense" he murmured.

"Sister? The sister? You where? It's not funny" Soo Hyun said, shouting a little.

"Why am I in the woods? Why is my sister pranking me like this? It's really not funny" Soo Hyun said confusedly and fearfully.

Soo Hyun touched the grass he was sitting on, "It's real, it's real grass and it's still dewy, brother can't possibly do something weird like this and there's no way I don't realize it" he murmured in disbelief.

.

.

.

He immediately stood up and tidied up his clothes, his eyes looked around the place again, the big trees but not the sound of birds singing made him even more distrustful of what he saw at this time.

"It's weird, am I being kidnapped?"

He was silent when he heard a sound from a distance, it was the sound of objects clashing with each other. If heard more clearly, the voice complaint sounded like the sound of swords rubbing against each other.

"Did I hear wrong? that voice was quite clear from that direction, it seemed like it was no longer there now."

A few moments the voice disappeared, but now it sounded very clear and made his heart pound and feel anxious and afraid.

Because of his great curiosity, he decided to find out the origin of the sound.

- Srak, srak, srak

The sound of the footsteps of someone who was running continued to be heard clearly in his ears. Just a few steps closer, he was surprised by someone who suddenly hit him to fall.

- Buk

The man fell down on Soo Hyun, he looked so weak with some injuries on his body. It was obvious from the clothes he was wearing was torn and quite wet due to the blood from his body.

"Go," said the man in a soft voice and tried to get up.

Soo Hyun simply kept silent and was shocked when the man told Soo Hyun to leave immediately, the man's eyes were bright red like a wild beast back then. He was still looking at the man, his face was not clearly visible because he was wearing a mask that covered part of his face that looked pale.

On the other hand it was not that Soo Hyun did not want to get up from her lying position, but that her body was unable to follow what she thought to leave immediately. His constantly trembling body did not know since when to make him feel weak. His mind was blank and only remembered the fiery red eyes that had shocked him just now.

.

.

.

"Do you still want to run away from me?" Asked a man who had just come by pointing his sword at Soo Hyun and the man who stood limply propped up his body with the sword stuck on the ground.

Due to the considerable fear and his body that was unable to survive made Soo Hyun's consciousness fade and suddenly he fainted right then and there.
