“Icarus is flying too close to the sun, And Icarus’ life, it has only just begun” Music blasted into Suguru’s ears as he walked under the bridge on his way home. He drowned out the insults hurled his way, hoping to make it past the bridge so he was left alone.

He could only hope to get past before they noticed he was there, before they noticed he was ignoring all of them. Suguru was lucky today, he was ignored for the most part and made it home without new bruises or scrapes.

Sighing, he let his guard down once inside his house, noticing his mother and father were gone again. A stack of money on the counter and a note saying not to spend it all, that they would be back in a week. He was fine with being alone again, he didn’t have to worry about them seeing him potentially come home, beaten and bruised from school and the walk home.

He was able to stop by the library before returning home the next day. He got a book, a myth to be specific. It was the myth of Icarus. The tale of the boy who flew too close to the sun.

Week after week passed, his parents came home, gave him more money and were gone once again. He managed to escape to the library occasionally, constantly checking out the myth of Icarus. He was fascinated by the idea of being able to fly away from his life with only wax wings carrying him away. He wished to be Icarus, care free and able to fly.

Years passed, now owning that copy of Icarus. He sat waiting for his bus, only to see fireworks. Those fireworks that made him blink. When he opened his eyes there was nothing.

The bustling city was now barren, not one person in sight. His book was still in his hand, the only normalcy he had as his first game commenced. An eight of spades. Someone took a shot at him and that book was tucked away in his shirt, right in front of his heart.

He understood he survived because of Icarus, so he lived as though he was a man with wings.

He joined The Beach, became a militant with excellent marksmanship. He was feared by the members with a well known name, he was finally better than those that put him down for years.

When Hatter was killed, he was excited. He could fly higher than ever without being told no.

During the Ten of Hearts, he flew higher and higher. Taking his place atop the roof as a sniper for the tenants trying to flee from the game. As he was burned he believed he had flown too high and his wings melted, burned by Chishiya and falling to his death. He believed that was the end, he had flown too high and melted his wings, now plummeting back to earth much like Icarus.

The wreckage of The Beach was slowly dying out, the fires done and the embers cooled. Niragi woke up, his body had survived the fall and the burns. He stood in pain, believing he should be done for. But there he was, standing in the charred rubble of the home he had known while in this strange world. He was alone, much like when he was young.

He stumbled around, narrowly escaping the King of Spades, making it to the King of Clubs. He was greeted by Usagi, Arisu, Tatta, and Kuina, horrified by the sight of him. After the game, he escaped death once again and he was back to stumbling around. He had flown higher than thought, feeling the rush of almost being killed in a face game.

The standoff was how he got to where he lay now, bleeding out. He tried to kill Chishiya, only to get shot by Arisu, knocking him off the car and onto his back against another. He felt in his heart that he would fly higher once again. Eventually, night fell and the Queen of Hearts blimp held its position steady, tricking him and anyone who saw into believing Arisu had lost. Mumbles were heard, but he never registered the words, only the oh so familiar voice that followed after every game won.

Time seemed to halt as Suguru saw what could only be described as light passing his line of sight in the darkness of the city taken back by nature. His burns tingled and his bullet wounds stung. “This is how it feels to take a fall, Icarus is flying towards an early grave” He mumbled out loud. The final lyrics of the song that once protected him, were now the lyrics that forced his realization.

He finally flew too close to the sun. Suguru was Icarus, flying too close to the sun only for his wings of wax to melt.

=============================================================

“Are you okay Seonghwa…” She said quietly even though she already knew the answer Seonghwa shook his head not wanting to speak. If he did, he would have broken down again, Haneul moved forward and hugged Seonghwa’s waist tightly, “You know Hwa it’s okay to cry.” She said softly Wooyoung joined in hugging both of them.

“I know… but I want to be strong for my mother and for you all.” Hwa said quietly Haneul pulled away and frowned. 

“Seonghwa, crying doesn’t make you weak, your mother just died. Hwa let your emotions out, we won’t judge you.” Haneul said softly rubbing his arm soothingly, at the girl’s words Seonghwa covered his mouth with his hand and started sobbing loudly Haneul pulled him into another hug rubbing his back soothingly.

“Seonghwa…” Wooyoung said, rubbing the olders back.

“Guys,” Haneul pulled away and looked back at Yeosang who stood leaning on the mast next to him, “Hae-Sook is awake.” He said coldly Haneul raised her eyebrow at his tone but shrugged it off and rushed past him, Seonghwa wiped his tears and followed her pushing Yeosang’s shoulder lightly and entered the room Hae-Sook was staying in. 

“Hae!” Haneul said hugging her friend tightly Hae-Sook winced at the pain in her head but hugged back anyway.

“Don’t squeeze me Haneul.” Hae-Sook said gently pushing the girl away and looked at Seonghwa, upon seeing the tear stains on his cheeks she knew what happened, “I’m so sorry Seonghwa.” She said in a sad tone Seonghwa smiled sadly.

“Let’s worry about you now, yeah?” He says while patting her head gently Hae-Sook blushed a little and nodded. 

Hongjoong yelled for the whole crew and girls, cutting through the tension Yeosang’s presence and strong glare toward Seonghwa.

“Anchors up in 10! Man your stations,” The three run out of the room, Seonghwa stopping to look at Hae-Sook.

“Stay here. I’ll be back in a few minutes,” It sounded like an order, Hae-Sook didn’t like that.

A minute passed of the girls being alone in the cabin before Hae-Sook began to stand up and walk out of the cabin only to stumble and Haneul to catch her.

“You aren’t gonna stay here, are you?” Haneul questioned, already knowing the answer.

“No, I wanna see this,” Haneul just sighed and helped her friend walk to the deck.

On the Main deck, Seonghwa and Hongjoong were going over courses, Mingi and Wooyoung were letting down the sails, Jongho and Yunho were pulling up the anchors, finally Yeosang was on the dock getting all the ropes off. Once all the ropes were hoisted except for one, Yeosang slipped his foot through the rope and held on while San pulled him up to the deck. 

Hongjoong and Seonghwa decided on a course and set off. The latter descended the stairs from the wheel on his way to the cabin where he thought Hae-Sook was residing, only to see Haneul holding her steady as she looked in awe at everything.

Yeosang noticed Haneul was on the main deck and ran to give her a hug.

“What are you doing out of the cabin?” both the boys half yelled when they saw the girls.

“I wanted to see how y’all set off,” Hae-Sook explained with a small smile.

“C’mon, you need to stay off your feet,” Seonghwa picked Hae-Sook up as if she weighed nothing to him and began to carry her back to the cabin.

“Shall we?” Yeosang asked in a mocking formal tone and smiled widely as Haneul giggled and jokingly shook her head no. To which Yeosang lifted Haneul like a bride and spun her around.

Haneul laughed and hugged Yeosang’s neck, she stared at his side profile then jumped out of his arms.

“Catch me if you can Yeosang.” Haneul teased and started running Yeosang’s mouth dropped.

“Not fair!” Yeosang then ran after the girl.

Meanwhile, with Hae-Sook she whined and smacked Seonghwa’s chest.

“Hwa I’m fine.” She said scoffing, Seonghwa rolled his eyes and opened the door to the cabin with his foot, he walked in and threw Hae-Sook on the cot, “Hey!” Hae-Sook glared at Seonghwa making him snicker, he was taken off guard when she pulled him down and flipped them over so she was sitting on his stomach Seonghwa stared up at her in shock.

“O-Okay I’m sorry can you get off of me now.” Seonghwa stuttered his face was a bright red Hae-Sook smirked and leaned down so their faces were only inches apart, Seonghwa gulped then the door burst open making Hae-Sook jump up and almost fall off the cot if Seonghwa didn’t grab her arm and pull her back up.

“What were you two doing?” San questioned, raising his eyebrow Hae-Sook and Seonghwa looked at eachother then San.

“We weren’t doing anything San.” Seonghwa said clearing his throat Hae-Sook looked away and at Yunho who was behind San smirking at her, she glared at him and scoffed looking away.

“Where’s Haneul?” Hae-Sook questioned seeing her friend was not there. 

“She’s with Yeosang out on the main deck.” Yunho answered with a grin Hae-Sook smirked now planning to tease her friend later about that.

“Guys let’s leave Hae alone, she needs to rest.” Seonghwa said getting off the cot and dragging the two out, Hae-Sook pouted because she was gonna be alone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I can’t tell you that I’m sorry.” She said quietly pushing past him to go back into the living room Seonghwa watched her walk away and sighed softly before he followed her. 

Hae-Sook ignored the half-sulking presence of Seonghwa following her into the living room where Yeosang was currently sitting in a chair next to the couch where Haneul was laying, still very unconscious. 

“She’ll want something to drink when she wakes up,” Hae-Sook explained as she set the glass of water down on the coffee table, Yeosang only nodded, not looking anywhere but Haneul. 

The tallest of the remaining 5 unknown boys approached Hae-Sook in an attempt to introduce himself, sadly he ended up scaring her.

“Hi!” The taller said louder than intended, causing the girl to jump and spin around, ready to fight, “I’m Yunho.”

“Don’t sneak up on me, please,” A now startled Hae-Sook stated almost angrily. A moment passed as Yunho apologized for scaring her.

“It’s alright, you don’t need to apologize, I should’ve been aware of my surroundings. I’m Hae-Sook and the one who passed out is my friend Haneul,” She quickly introduced herself and her unconscious friend after cutting him off before he could fully say sorry.

The two began talking without a care, unaware of the jealous stare from across the room where Seonghwa was. A small groan sounded from the couch where Haneul was laying and she began to open her eyes.

Yeosang moved quickly to help her sit up. Haneul attempted to sit up as she would in the mornings, quickly and already moving. That did not work and she got very dizzy and fell back again, only for Yeosang to put his arm in between her head and the armrest so she didn’t get a head injury.

“Woah, calm down,” he spoke in a soft voice, not to startle or cause her to pass out for a second time, “It’s okay, there is no immediate danger.”

Once she was upright and in a comfortable position thanks to Yeosang helping to stabilize Haneul, he handed her the glass Hae-Sook had set on the coffee table for her.

“Are you okay? Did you hit your head when you fell?” he continued to speak in the soft voice he had earlier. She shook her head signalling a ‘no’, Yeosang sighed in relief that the mystery girl hadn’t been hurt. 

“What’s your name?” 

“H-Haneul,” she spoke with a slight stutter due to her bias being in front of her and asking her name.

Yeosang seemed as though he was going to complement the already shaking girl’s name, so her Hae-Sook yelled out, much to Haneul’s dismay.

“I wouldn’t compliment her if I were you, unless you want her to pass out again,” Yunho was cackling at what his new friend had said while Haneul was beet red. The others were smirking, some trying to cover their laughter and failing. 

“Now for the important question, how did you two get here?” Hongjoong questioned leaning on the back of the chair Seonghwa just sat in.

“That’s for us to know and for you to find out.” Hae-Sook says while pushing Haneul’s shoulder because the younger female was giving Yeosang the googly eyes, the boys all groaned in annoyance at the girl's answer.

“I assume you are from somewhere far away, correct.” San said quietly, running his hand through his green hair, Hae-Sook nodded really wanting to change the subject.

“Seonghwa come help me with dinner,” Akira said grabbing her son’s wrist Seonghwa nodded and stood up from the chair he was sitting on, “You too Hae-Sook,” the older woman added Hae-Sook looked at Haneul with a confused look but stood up anyway and followed the two into the kitchen, “I’ll get started I need you two to go out to grab some berries.” Akira said giving them a smile Seonghwa and Hae-Sook made eye contact then nodded to the woman exiting the house through the back door.

“Why did Haneul faint back there?” Seonghwa questioned while checking the berries to make sure they weren’t poisonous, Hae-Sook thought about how to answer him; she can’t say the real reason why Seonghwa would think they were crazy if she did.

“She was dehydrated, that's why I got her water for her after she woke up.” the girl said not looking at the boy next to her Seonghwa said nothing as the two continued picking berries in silence, “How old are you?” She questioned randomly Seonghwa looked at her confused.

“22..?” He said but with a questioning tone, “How about you?” Hwa asked, placing more berries in the basket.

“20.” Hae-Sook said quietly she then proceeded to stare at Seonghwa’s side profile, she took in his fluffy black, messy hair, his sharp jawline and his plump lips Seonghwa then moved his gaze to meet her’s, Hae-Sook panicked and looked away. 

“Were you staring at me?” He questioned a smirk spreading across his lips, Hae-Sook blushed and stood up grabbing the basket.

“You’re just imagining things.” She mumbled standing up and rushed inside Seonghwa chuckled and stood up straight proceeding to follow her inside.

“OOOO! Why are you all red, and wHy is Toothless smirking?” Yunho yelled right as Hae-Sook and Seonghwa walked inside.

“Shut up Yunho,” The two said simultaneously. Haneul heard the yell and ran into the kitchen to see her red faced best friend and a still smirking Seonghwa, she smiled maniacally at Hae-Sook.

The red faced female placed the basket down on the table, gave an evil smirk, and ran at Haneul.

“Oh no! Not again!” Haneul ran from the kitchen and out the back door with Hae-Sook hot on her tail. Haneul had hoped the table would slow her down enough to get a bit of distance between the two, but that was not the case as Hae-Sook was faster on her feet.

Hae-Sook closed the distance in a few seconds and tackled Haneul, making sure to put her in a half-nelson.

The boys all ran out a second after Hanuel was on the ground and Hae-Sook had started yelling.

“Don’t you dare think about it! I will fight you!” She sounded absolutely furious but Haneul knew she was messing around.

“What the-!” Yeosang grabbed Haneul’s hand as Seonghwa got Hae-Sook's arm loosened from Haneul’s neck.

When the two were sure that neither of the girls would be harmed, Seonghwa got his right arm around Hae-Sook’s waist and pulled while Yeosang had gripped Haneul’s hand and also pulled.

Haneul was pulled up and into Yeosang’s chest, Hae-Sook on the other hand was pulled back and to the ground, or more so onto Seonghwa and he went backward onto the ground.

Haneul and Yeosang looked at each other then back to the two on the ground, the other boys stared in a shocked state seeing the position Seonghwa and Hae-Sook were in.

“This is awkward.” Haneul whispered to herself Yeosang chuckled lightly, Hae-Sook sat herself up by her hands and looked down at Seonghwa with wide eyes Seonghwa stared up at her his hand still resting on her waist before he sat up gently pushing the girl off him and stood up pulling Hae-Sook up with him.

“You two could have hurt yourselves, maybe you shouldn't do that.” Seonghwa said quietly trying to fight the blush that built up on his cheeks, Hae-Sook was blushing also which earned some teasing from Yunho who she scowled at and hit his chest. 

“Haneul is still leaning on Yeosang.” Wooyoung pointed out a smirk on his face, Haneul jumped away from the pink haired man with a blush on her face, Yeosang rubbed the back of his neck, also blushing. 

“Hurt ourselves? Please, didn’t you hear her say ‘Not again’? This is a weekly occurrence,” Hae-Sook stated as a matter of fact, Haneul nodded her head furiously in agreement, “Plus the grass was a lot softer than the flooring we ha-.”

Hae-Sook was cut off by Haneul running over to her and slapping a hand over her mouth.

“Don’t say that. It could give us away,” Haneul whispered to her friend.

Hae-Sook used her tongue to push Haneul’s hand away so she could talk.

“How would that give us away? All we would need to say is that we have hard flooring at one of our parents' houses that we stay at a lot,” The solution Hae-Sook provided was enough to get Haneul to let her go.

“What was that about?” Yunho was very confused, as were the others. 

“Sorry, she has a habit of saying that her parent’s house is her personal property,” Haneul smiled as she made up the lie that could be the one thing keeping them from being found out, “She meant the flooring at her parents’ house is a lot tougher and the grass was a nice change.”

The boys were skeptical but accepted the fib. 

“Dinner everyone!” Akira called from inside the house after chuckling at what she had witnessed.

There was a collective cheer from the boys as they began running and shoving to get to the food. Hongjoong stayed back and laughed with the girls.

“Shall we ladies, wouldn’t want you two starving,” Stepping slightly to the side and holding his arm out as if to guide them to the house.

The three got inside to see everyone already sitting, plates ready. 

“Hae-Sook! Come sit next to me, I saved you a seat,” Sure enough there was a spot between Yunho and Mingi. 

“Haneul! Over here!” San gestured to the seat between him and Jongho with a smile.

Hae-Sook practically sprinted to sit, while Haneul walked calmly. Much like they had at the park, that felt like so long ago.

Once Hongjoong sat, dinner had begun. Laughter filled the air of the dining room, stories of the boys’ latest trip, and stories that didn’t give away too much about the girls’ home, but it was enough for conversations to feel natural.

Although if you asked anyone, they would say after dinner is the most fun because that's when the cleaning starts. The boys created two chains from the sink one ending with Mingi the other ending with Yunho. They got the dishes done and the kitchen cleaned in less than 10 minutes. 

Akira, Haneul, and Hae-Sook watched this in awe.

They had all sat in the living room and were just talking, much calmer than it was only a few minutes prior. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A scream was heard from outside, then a series of yells, almost as if they were charging.

Haneul looked out the window and backed away from it slowly. Both Haneul and Hae-Sook screamed when the door was kicked open forcibly. Yeosang and Seonghwa pulled the two girls behind them as Hongjoong walked forward cautiously.

“Who are you to burst into my friend's house like this?” He asked with slight strictness. Haneul remembered this scene from her book. She grabbed Yeosang’s arm knowing what’s going to happen next.

“The Twilight Division ordered us to come and bring in the two intruders.” One man said looking between Haneul and Hae-Sook, Seonghwa pushed Hae-Sook more behind him, glaring daggers at the Wonderland guards in front of them.

“Why should we believe that? Your uniforms look nothing like the Twilight Division.” San pointed out, gripping the handle of his dagger behind his back. 

“Seonghwa what’s going on?” Akira questioned walking out of the kitchen in confusion Seonghwa looked back at his mother then the men watching one lift their musket.

“Mom-” Before the black haired man can finish his sentence a gunshot rang through the air Hae-Sook looked back at the older woman and gasped in shock covering her mouth with her hands watching Akira fall to the ground, blood gushing out of a wound in her stomach, “Mom!” Seonghwa ran over to his mother’s side he tore a piece of his shirt off and put pressure on her wound trying to stop the blood flow, “No, No, No, Please No, Mom stay with me please…” Hwa said, his voice cracking a little. Hae-Sook ran over and kneeled down as well, internally panicking because she didn’t know what to do.

“Oh now you’re going to get it.” San snapped, pulling his dagger out and pounced on one of the supposed “Guards”. 

“Yeosang stay with Haneul we will handle this.” Hongjoong said to Yeosang who nodded, keeping Haneul behind him, the said girl looked towards Seonghwa, Akira and Hae-Sook with a worried expression on her face.

One of the guards rushed at Seonghwa in his vulnerable state of caring for his severely injured mother, with a dagger. Hae-Sook noticed and popped up in time to kick the guy in the gut. His dagger dropped to the ground in front of the three. The blade was curved inward slightly on the sides, and it fit Hae-Sook’s hand perfectly.

She gripped the blade and ran from Seonghwa and began fighting with the others, almost as if she was meant to be fighting in this setting, not just in the fist fights she was known for winning back home. Haneul glanced over to make sure Hae-Sook was alright, only to not see her with Seonghwa. She panicked thinking her friend had been taken, she sighed in relief when she saw her friend fighting with ease against 2 of the enemies.

“Hwa, go,” Akira whispered to her son as he continued to apply pressure to her wound.

“What, n-no, mom,” Seonghwa was stuttering, scared for his mother’s life, “We can get you help, I-I can save you, just please hold on.” 

“Hwa, honey,” Her voice was weak, she knew it was time to go, “It’s my time baby. Get the girls out. I love you so much, never forget that.”

“Mom-” More tears spilled from his eyes as Akira took her last breath. A yell rang out from Seonghwa as he held Akira to his chest.

The yell distracted the enemies long enough for the guys to finish off the guards and for Hae-Sook to knock the two she was against out, or so she thought.

“Hae-Sook!” Yunho and Mingi yelled in sync to warn her about the guard behind her.

She didn’t turn quick enough to block the attack. The man hit her in the back of the head with a club sending her into unconsciousness instantly.

Seonghwa, already seething, heard the thud of Hae-Sook’s body and turned to look at the man who dared touch her.

Seonghwa was easily 6 inches taller than the man when he rose up from the ground. He stalked toward the man who had begun to try and drag Hae-Sook away.

“Don't. Touch. Her.” His voice was venomous and his grip on the man’s throat was tight. Gasping for air the man desperately attempted to pry Seonghwa’s hand off of his trachea.

He only let go after Hongjoong intervened. 

“Seonghwa, that’s enough. He’s already gone,” The tone of Hongjoong’s voice was enough to have the man released, already dead. 

“We have to leave,” Seonghwa spoke after a beat of silence, “They found us here, that means the only way to stay safe is to stay at sea.” 

The others nodded in agreement. Haneul picked Hae-Sook up and placed her on her back. Yeosang followed Haneul close by to make sure she didn’t fall or go off balance while carrying her friend.

“I’ll meet you at the ship, I have to do something before I go,” Seonghwa picked up his mother’s corpse and carried her to the burial ships for those who wanted a water funeral. He placed Akira into the boat and covered her in the sheet provided.

“I’m sorry, Mom. I know you wanted a son to be proud of, not one that turned out like dad,” Seonghwa teared up as he spoke and pushed his mother into the sea, “I’ll make it up to you, and I’ll keep all of them safe. I love you and I won’t let you down, not again.”

He threw a lighter into the boat after he said his final goodbyes and watched it catch fire, before turning and walking to his ship, the Atiny.

Once Seonghwa entered the ship he was almost tackled by Wooyoung who hugged him tightly the oldest hugged him back but kept his tears in he didn’t want to cry in front of who he calls his brothers again.

“Wooyoung you can let me go now,” Seonghwa said, his voice was all croaky from crying, Wooyoung pulled away even though he didn’t want to, “How’s Hae-Sook? She got hit pretty hard.” Hwa said in concern for the girl.

“She’s fine, luckily she did not get hit hard enough for her to have a concussion,” Wooyoung informed looking back at Haneul walking over, her eyes filled with concern.

“Why are you staring at me?” Haneul questioned her strange roommate Hae-Sook.

“Because I’m bored, obviously,” Hae-Sook paused for a moment to flip on the chair across from Haneul, “We are on summer break from college and we have done nothing for the past week. I’m tired of seeing these walls, let’s go out to eat, go to a park, or even go shopping. I don’t care anymore, I want to be out for the day, please.”

“Why are you so dramatic?” Haneul smirked at her friend who was currently hanging upside down on a chair, her slight Irish accent getting thicker and thicker, “Besides if you want to do those things why not go without me, I heard there was an old park a few blocks away. I saw pictures of it online.” 

Hae-Sook flipped off the chair and stood up so fast she got light headed, but still standing and grabbed the book Haneul was reading, put a bookmark in it, set it on the chair, then yanked her friend up and to the door to get shoes on, eager to do something other than read, stare at a wall, or watch TV. Even though both of them were still in their pajamas.

“Hae-Sook!” Haneul yelled to get the girl’s attention, “How about we get some clothes on, grab our wallets, and while we are out we can go to eat.” 

After dressing and grabbing what they needed in a small backpack, the pair set out to the park by 9:30 am, which was a feat considering when the two did go out they typically waited till after 6 pm.

They arrived at the park by 10, Hae-Sook ran off to climb the rock wall and Haneul went to the swings. Hae-Sook continued to run around climbing and jumping off random  structures ment for children to play on. Haneul had found some monkey bars that she played on for almost an hour, then an old round-a-bout that both the girls took turns spinning the other. 

The two ended up staying till almost 1, as they walked around town the girls stopped at Boryeong Dumplings for lunch. 

“I have never been there before,” Hae-Sook smiled as they walked away from the quaint little shop satisfied with the cheap, yet fulfilling meal. 

Haneul’s phone began ringing with ATEEZ’s Fever signaling that it was her father calling to check in for how the break was going, surely. She stopped to take the backpack off and get it. Once the bag was on the ground and opened, Haneul stopped smiling and got a confused look on her face. 

“Um, Hae-Sook, didn't you leave the book I was reading on the chair?” Haneul looked up at her friend in question with the book in hand.

“Yeah, why would I bring a book to a park and around town?” Hae-Sook replied sarcastically while finally turning to see Haneul looking into the bag, still very confused. 

Haneul grabbed the book and pulled it out to show Hae-Sook the book that had appeared in the bag. 

“What the-,” Haneul dropped the book as the spine was beginning to feel hot against her hand. The book fell open and A bright light emitted from the pages.

Hae-Sook ran over to Haneul only for both of them to black out. The light got so bright that when it died the girls were nowhere to be seen and neither was their stuff, or the book.

“ -you . . . k . . . ady,” the sound of a little boy was fading in and out. Hae-Sook was also feeling a prodding sensation on the right side of her stomach.

“-ady, Lady?” The kid tried to get her awake again. Then he yelled.

 “Ma! I found a dead body!” he sounded really excited, “Scratch that, I found 2!” 

Hae-Sook then groaned and attempted to open her eyes but the bright sun kept hitting her face making it harder to adjust. 

The kid screamed and ran as if he was being chased by a killer. She groaned once more and sat up, shielding her face from the sun only to realize Haneul wasn’t with her.

“Haneul!” She frantically scanned the sand for her friend, “Haneul! Say something! Where are you?!” 

A groan was sounded from Haneul about 20 feet away. Hae-Sook stood up as quickly as her body would allow her. The sand was not helping with the situation, but once she got to Haneul, Hae-Sook took in the fact that they were on a beach. Not on their way home. 

“Haneul! Are you okay?! Can you stand?” Hae-Sook asked frantically, helping Haneul sit up. Haneul rubbed her forehead and looked around, taking note that they were on a beach and not on a street in Korea.

“Where are we?” Haneul questioned, looking around confused. 

“You’re on the Island of Tsuhaelu.” A woman spoke, making the two look over in fear watching the older women walk over, “Don’t be frightened young one’s, my name is Park Akira may I ask your names?” Akira softly questioned, gently helping the two girls up from the sand they were kneeling on. 

“Uh… Lee Haneul.” Haneul said nervously, looking at Hae-Sook who looked just as nervous.

“Ahn Hae-Sook.” Hae-Sook said quietly Akira hummed and inspected their torn and sandy clothing. 

“Come inside my home, your clothes are filthy.” The older woman says gesturing the two along Haneul and Hae-Sook made eye contact before they followed Akira into the little vine covered cottage, “My son is here as well but don’t be scared he’s a sweetheart.” Akira started opening the door to let them in. Haneul looked around the small building taking in all the paintings and forest plants scattered around.

“Mom, are you home?” Haneul and Hae-Sook turned to look at where the voice came from, there stood a man dressed in a white loose shirt and tight fitting black pants, his black hair hung slightly over his eyes, but stuck to his forehead due to the sweat that built up on it, “Who are they?” He questioned, eyeing the two girls, Haneul was wide eyed, staring at the man she recognized him as clear as day.

“They are our guests, Seonghwa be nice.” Akira warned her son Seonghwa scoffed but nodded, “Good now I’m going to go get them new clothes, make them feel welcomed Hwa.” She says ruffling her son's hair and disappearing into a back room, Seonghwa whined and fixed his hair before moving his gaze to the two girls.

“May I ask your names.” He said quietly, moving closer to the girls.

“Ahn Hae-Sook.” Hae-Sook said first.

“Lee Haneul.” Haneul said next, watching Seonghwa eye them silently, the older male hummed and turned to look at his mother walking out carrying outfits.

“Here you are, you can go change in my room.” Akira gently pushed the two into her bedroom and closed the door behind them, the two shared a look then looked at the clothes in their hands.

“Hae-Sook that guy out there is a member of the group I told you about, Ateez.” Haneul said while changing into her new clothes Hae-Sook looked at her friend as if she was crazy.

“That can’t be possible Haneul, he is an idol, this is obviously a pirate story.” the older female said changing her clothes, Haneul pouted and looked at herself in the mirror. The clothes were a bit form-fitting much to her dismay.

“Quit looking like those clothes are the worst thing in the world, you could have no pants like me,” Hae-Sook said when she noticed the slight frown on Haneul’s face, “Plus, you look good in that and maybe you could get the guy out there. Besides, we should make the best of this until we can find the book and get out of here.”

Haneul was dumb-struck by how much the elder could accept this. They could be in danger and she just accepts the fact that they could be stuck in this fantasy world for the rest of their lives. 

“Are you insane?” the younger of the pair whispered as if to muffle their conversation from any prying ears, “We are in a strange place, where K-pop idols are pirates. We don’t know how to get back and we could die here. Please all I am asking you to do right now is to lay low, stay away from dangerous things, and think about getting home.”

The room was silent for a moment with no answer from Hae-Sook. 

“Do you understand Sookie?” More silence from the light brown haired girl, “Hae-Sook, do you understand?” Haneul asked with more force than before.

“Yes, I understand. I’ll stay outta trouble,” Hae-Sook said bitterly in defeat.

There was a small knock at the door followed by a soft voice.

“Girls are you alright in there? Do you need any help?” Akira questioned having heard a bit of the small scuffle. 

Haneul gave Hae-Sook a look meaning ‘Don’t be dumb’ as she stalked over to the door to open it for Akira to show her the outfits.

“My, how beautiful you two look, Seonghwa don’t they look gorgeous.” The older woman said looking back at her son who was busy staring at the two girls with his mouth agape.

“Uh… yeah you two look beautiful.” Seonghwa said, smiling shyly. Haneul was fangirling on the inside from his compliment being an atiny and all, “Mom, the boys are coming by later I hope you don’t mind.” He informed his mother with a smile, Haneul and Hae-Sook shared a glance when Seonghwa mentioned ‘the other boys’.

“That’s just fine dear, they can meet Haneul and Hae-Sook.” Akira said with a smile Haneul gave Hae-Sook a ‘I am going to faint’ look while the older girl glared at her as if saying ‘Don’t you dare’.

“Haneul, dear are you alright? You look pale,” Akira said, noticing Haneul’s eyes widening slightly and her face lightening.

“She’s fine ma’am. Just needs a little bit of fresh air, that's all. Thank you for your concern,” Hae-Sook quickly excused both of them and guided her fangirling friend outside for a moment.

Once outside and away from any prying eyes and ears, Haneul was awoken from her slight trance with a sharp smack.

“OW! What was that for?” She yelped while holding her now red cheek. 

“Remember when you said ‘lay low’ to me? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that meant for you too, miss Fangirl,” Hae-Sook stated with a matter of fact, “You almost passed out, you’re lucky I covered for you before Seonghwa saw. That is the one you like right?”

“No, I mean yes, but no. My bias is Yeosang,” She was cut off by a voice Haneul knew all too well.

“Who said my name?” A man with light hair popped his head around the corner.

A yelp emitted from Haneul and next thing the man, Yeosang, and Hae-Sook knew she was falling. 

Yeosang ran to catch her just barely making it. 

“Woah! I gotcha,” He looked up at Hae-Sook from the crouching position while holding Haneul, “Is she okay?”

“Yeah, I can take her inside. You don-” The girl was cut off by Yeosang hooking his arms under Haneul’s legs and waist and stood to his full height, easily lifting Hae-Sook’s friend and began walking into the house.

After Yeosang began walking he, Hae-Sook, and an unconscious Haneul arrived in the house to see Seonghwa, Akira, and 6 other guys all standing in the living room talking. Everyone looks over when the door closes.

The purple haired man was the first to speak up.

“Please tell me you didn’t drug or kill her,” He had an exasperated look covering his face.

“What!? No! Why would I do that? She just passed out Wooyoung,” Yeosang sounded offended by the accusation of him hurting someone.

“Set her on the couch and I will get her some water.” Hae-Sook said to Yeosang the pink haired man nodded and walked over to the couch carefully laying Haneul onto it, Hae-Sook walked into the kitchen she stopped and realized she didn’t ask where the cups were she cursed to herself and walked to the nearest cabinet and opened it relieved that it was the right cabinet, she reached up to grab a glass but failed due to her height Hae-Sook huffed in annoyance before spotting a hand reach over her own to grab the cup, she spun around being face to face with Seonghwa.

“You should have just asked for help.” Seonghwa said giving her the cup Hae-Sook felt her cheeks heat up so she turned her back to him to fill up the cup, “Who are you exactly?” Hwa asked.

“We told you our names.” She stated in an annoyed tone she gasped when her shoulders were grabbed and her body was turned around to face him.

“I meant where did you come from, Hae-Sook.” Seonghwa said his voice went deeper than before Hae-Sook gulped and placed her hands on his chest gently pushing him away.
