Fourth Game (1/2)
Dongwoo look down at his arms,legs and all over his body.He can't help but to smirk in excitement."It's so cool.."He had a men's black slim fit doubled breasted strap casual trench coat and a simple white round neck shirt underneath it.While for his pants,he had a black fitted jeans with white strap decorating some of the places."I really like it.."He hummed in content as his eyes look up back,scanning the whole new place around him."But...just where am I?"He stand up from there and dusted away the dirt off from his clothes."Maybe I should explore this place..."He look down on his steps,only to notice even his sneakers are different.He had a gold design on each side of it,with the black,again,as its base."I really did remember that I don't even have any of this with me before.."He furrow his eyebrows,turning suspicious with the whole setup.It's impossible to say that he got kidnapped,since somehow he get this fancy things on him.To say that he's lost,he sure it's night before,and he just tuning in to sleep.And he sure,he already sleep 8 hours straight,waiting for morning to come,but then it's night.Again.Just how many more hours he need to let the night passed?So,what would explain this thing?With that in his mind,he move,trying to find the way out.
"Damn,just where is the way out?"He look to his right and there's seen a blur,dim light."Maybe a house?"Without second thinking,he walk closer towards it.
"Hey!who are you?!"
His pace halted as there's a voice,sounding harsh,directed to him.He hiss as he turn,only to see a girl who had a brown hair,that's tied up into a pony tail.Just as he's about to respond back,the girl cut him once again.
"What are you doing?!are you trying to rob that house?!"
"What?"
"You are!aren't you?!"The girl eyes widen as she gasped."I-I have to run back to town and call the pol-"
"Can you shut up for awhile?"Dongwoo hissed,totally annoyed by the girl standing 100 meter in front of him."You didn't even let me speak,and yet you already make the conclusion?what are you?an idiot?"
"W-what?!I'm not an idiot!"She huffed."T-then,why are you heading towards my house?!"
"Your house?"
"Yeah,it's my-"
"Because I'm lost."Now,he's the one cutting the girl's words.
"Hah,that's-!"She stopped."E-eh?w-what?"She raise her eyebrows as she tried to registered what had her ears catch up onto."Y-you're lost?b-but how come?"
"If I know,I won't be walking in this shit place."
"What did you said?shit place?!you-!"
"But anyway,I don't know."He stated blankly while looking at the girl.
After the two standing,looking at each other for about three to four minutes,finally she cooled down as she inspect Dongwoo from head to toes.Indeed the boy had a somehow,weird clothes on him.She never did see like any one of those.Not here,she know.She look back at Dongwoo in the eyes and she search for any lies in there,but there's none.Slowly,she approach him."R-really?"
"I'm not lying."
As she come face to face with the boy,she can't help but to blushed.The boy are one handsome guy out there that she know too well that's far more high standard than she is.She just an ordinary girl who's working at the fruits farm down the hill behind her house.She casted her eyes down towards the ground,totally embarrassed with how she had behaved."Indeed,y-you're not."She paused,"..t-then,let's go to my house then.It's getting late."She walked passed him and she can hear that the other is following her,by the sounds of the footsteps."S-so,what's your name?I'm Cylia."
"Should you,at this point,tell me your name?"He raised an eyebrow."Do you know that it's unnecessary?I just want to stop by your house.That's it."
"But...it's normal to introduce yourself when you get a help from others,isn't?"
Dongwoo stay quiet,thinking,battling with himself about the girl in front of him.Then,something struck him and he smirk at it."But you don't know whether I'm a good person or not,aren't you?You never know,maybe I'm the guy who want to kill you."
At this,the girl stop walking as her eyes widen.She gulped.Her hands trembled in fear.How could this be?she's sure that she already run away,far far away from her own house.How did they manage to find her?now?after six years?She clenched her teeth.Indeed,telling the guy her name is a stupid things that she had ever done.But she didn't expect this either.It's been six years she have live alone here without any of her father's man trying to get her back into the old custom household.
Noticing that Cylia had suddenly stop in front of him,Dongwoo know he had accidentally touch the sensitive subject.His eyes inspect the sudden differences that the girl did,her trembling figure,the sudden intense atmosphere lingering in the air around them,and the way the girl's head drop.He knew,he can't feel guilty at all,but he don't want to hurt the girl either.For some reason,that is.So,the only thing he does is trying to cover this conversation up.He walk,approaching the girl and grab on her sleeves,dragging her with him towards her house."I'm just joking,if that's what make you suddenly stop."
Hearing this,somehow,Cylia become relieved quite fast at it as she feel there's tears pooling in her eyes.But she didn't cry.She don't want to show this stranger her weak side.And just then,she realized that the boy are holding onto her right's sleeve,pulling her towards her own house.She can't help but to blushed."Ah..what's this feeling?"Shaking her thought and alien feelings away,she quickly pull her hand back to her side and huff,walking passed the boy again.She climb up the four wooden stairs,leading to her house's door and bring out her key to unlock it.As soon as the'click' sound can be heard,she turned around to look at Dongwoo,who's on his way climbing up the small stairs,and said,"Come in."She make a way for the boy to walked through while holding the door for him.
"Thanks."Dongwoo said and walk into the house.His eyes scan all around the place and somehow,something caught his eyes at the small courtyard of the house.It's the well.Something off about that.His intuition told him. Without getting any permission,he walked along the hallway and out to the courtyard.He walked towards the suspicious well.His eyes widen,though he are not shocked at all since he get where is this coming from.Just as he about to inspect it,the girl's voice can be heard from the inside.
"Hey!what are you doing?!"
He just keep quiet and he can heard the fast light footsteps coming towards his direction.He turn to face the girl."Nothing.I just wanted to see inside of it."
"What?do you know it's rude to just go anywhere in this house without telling the owner?"He just keep on listening to the girl nagging and he can noticed the blush appearing on her face.It was definitely because of him,he knew.Somewhere when the girl approach him in the woods just now,he can see the blushed on her face,the first their face meet closely.Taking this as his chance,he glance at the well and see at the water in it.As he thought,there's definitely something off about the well.There's no reflection of him in there,except for the girl.

"What are you waiting for?!come out now!"
"N-no!why should I?!give me back my clothes first!"
"You better open this door and come out,before I'm gonna break this door and get you myself.!"
Hoya gulped.Even though he's scared right now,he can't just walked out just wearing this two pieces of cloth.And somehow,he don't know why,it's still night here.And the fact that he woke up in a different room and wearing a different clothes really get on his nerves.He's sure,he had locked all the doors and windows in his house.He even had drew the curtains close.So,just how did this happen without him waking up?not to mention he's a light sleeper.At this time,he had wish that he's with Dongwoo last night.Or is it this night?he didn't know.He really did wish he was with his crush,instead of his parents.He wondered why.Maybe because the older always have those calm and cool face and posture he have it with him all the time,no matter what situation he's in.
"Oi!!do you hear me or not?!"
"Ah..shit.What should I do?"
