Summary: Kyuhyun found a Genie....a Naughty Genie.
------------------------
"Calm down. Sungmin, I saw some Qarins flying everywhere with Heechul and it looks like they took Kyuhyun with them." Eunhyuk said.
"What?! Where?!"
"To our world." Eunhyuk frowned.
Sungmin paused. "You've got to be kidding me."
"I'm serious." Eunhyuk said. Sungmin ran away to the door but Donghae managed to catch up and grab him.
"Where are you going?!" Donghae asked.
"I'm gonna get him!" Sungmin yelled.
"Are you nuts?! You're weaker than me now! How're you gonna do that?!" Eunhyuk asked worriedly.
"I don't care!" Sungmin pulled back his hand and attempted to fly but failed when Eunhyuk jumped over him. "Ah! Eunhyuk let me go!"
"Sungmin! If you're not gonna calm down, nothing will change! You're weak and you're in love! Don't be so reckless! Do you wanna die?!" Eunhyuk yelled.
Sungmin breathed hard and teared up. "I just want to save him...they're gonna kill him..."
Eunhyuk sighed, standing up and helped Sungmin. "I know what to do." He said and turned to a clueless Donghae who was standing behind them..
"Please tell me you're joking." Donghae glared at Eunhyuk and Sungmin after minutes of explanation. "I. AM. A. NORMAL--"
"You're not normal Hae. You're a fish who looks like a human." Eunhyuk teased.
"What the heck does that have to do with this?!" Donghae asked.
"Please Donghae. We really need your help. " Sungmin pleaded.
Donghae looked at them and thought for awhile. "You...you guys are lucky that I AM HERE." He sighed. "Alright, I'll do it. In one condition."
"What?" Sungmin and Eunhyuk asked.
Donghae gestured for Sungmin to come closer and then whispered. Sungmin paused after Donghae finished then nodded. "What is it?" Eunhyuk asked.
"Its nothing special Eunhyuk." Sungmin smiled. "Come on." He stood up and Eunhyuk followed while Donghae watches them leave the house.
Donghae was about to go too but Sen purred on his foot and meowed. He knelt down and picked up Sen. "Guess you're coming with me Little Sen." He caressed it then brought it with him.
"Are you sure its gonna work?" Sungmin asked while flying with Eunhyuk.
"Sungmin, you need to trust me. Only someone with a real singing voice can sing it. And Yesung has that." Eunhyuk assured.
"Alright, if you say so." He smiled at him then focused his eyes to the clouds.
----------------------
At the same time, Donghae drove to the hospital where he assumed Yesung was. "I'm risking my time for this." He said to himself as he gets out of his van and ran immediately inside the hospital. He prayed that Yesung is there so finding him so his task would be easy. As soon as he gets to his room, he opened the door and there he found Yesung busily playing his guitar and singing to Ryeowook. "Hyung!"
Yesung's guitar strings broke again and he turned to Eunhyuk. "Huh? What're you doing here?"
"Uhh...nothing...I'm visiting." He smiled. Now, I just have to wait...
Eunhyuk, Yesung's here. I'm with him now. He said to Eunhyuk.
Really? Keep him there Hae!
Sure. He nodded. Uhh...Hyukkie...
Yeah?
Be careful.
Eunhyuk paused and smiled. I will. Thanks.
Donghae watched the sky from the window and prayed that Eunhyuk and Sungmin will be able to come back safely.
---------------------
As Sungmin and Eunhyuk flew up higher, the clouds became darker and darker. Below them, the rain was falling. Sungmin felt uneasy as he keeps hearing the thunder around them. When the thunder stroke near him, he yelped and stopped midway. He covered his ears and tried to fly further but the thunder grew louder and louder that he can't predict where it'll come from.
As soon as Eunhyuk realizes that there is no Sungmin following from behind, he quickly flew back and there, he spotted Sungmin curling up in between the clouds. "I almost forgot. He's not scared of thunder, he's frightened when he hears them." He grabbed Sungmin and pulled him with speed away from the loud thunders. "You still get frightened huh?"
"Sorry." Sungmin yelled so Eunhyuk can hear it. When the clouds became calmer, Eunhyuk let go of him. "The cloud's calmer now."
"Yeah I can see it. Thanks." He said as he flies beside Eunhyuk.
"Sungmin, I can see the entrance!" Eunhyuk yelled, pointing at a particular place.
"Really??? Let's go!" They sped up together and flew straight to the entrance to their world.
----------------------
"I can't believe it. Its raining." Donghae said.
"Something is weird. I can feel it. Donghae, tell me honestly why you're here?" Yesung asked with a sound of suspicion.
Donghae turned to him. "I told you, I'm here to visit Ryeowook, hyung."
"Yeah right." Yesung stood up. "You came to visit and yet you're always beside the window. Maybe you're visiting the window."
"Hyung, why are you like that??? I came to visit but you're being mean!" Donghae whined.
"Alright alright, fine. Let's just say you're visiting Ryeowook...and the window." Yesung sighed and sat back on the chair beside Ryeowook's bed. Donghae turned to the sky again and not gazing away.
------------------------
As soon as Sungmin and Eunhyuk were able to enter without a sound, their clothes changed back to their old Genie outfits. They sneaked through the buildings and avoided the other Genies looking at them suspiciously. They covered their faces when they guessed the other Genies knew about the incident. "Where do you think they're keeping Kyuhyun?" Sungmin asked carefully.
"I don't know. But I know someone who might know." Eunhyuk pulled him to a place Sungmin has never been before.
They reached a small luxurious house. Eunhyuk knocked at the door, looking a bit pissed then someone opened the door without even asking who it was. "Ye--" He paused as soon as he saw Sungmin and Eunhyuk. "Oh."
"Kibum?!" Sungmin exclaimed.
He smiled to Sungmin then turned to Eunhyuk with a pissed face. "Hi Eunhyuk." He sighed.
"Okay don't even start with that. I'm not here to ask for forgiveness or anything, I'm here for a favor. And its not my favor." He said. "Not gonna let us in?"
"If only us didn't include you." He snarled. "Get in." He walked first.
Sungmin followed Eunhyuk inside, so clueless about their argument. "Did you had a fight or something?" He asked.
"Its none of your business." Kibum glared. "Why are you here anyway?"
"Umm...Eunhyuk said you know where they keep...umm...those humans who are caught...?" He stuttered, not finding the right words. "Do you?"
He turned to Eunhyuk. "You told him that?" Eunhyuk nodded. "If I tell you, what're you gonna give me in return?"
Oh yeah...merchants. Sungmin thought. "Umm, I don't have anything with me right now."
"Then I can't tell you." He said seriously.
Eunhyuk looked at the necklace he was wearing. It was a silver necklace with a shape of a dolphin. He remembered when he got this. It was just yesterday, at the souvenir shop he and Donghae went to.
"Hyuk look!" Donghae exclaimed while looking at a particular thing. Eunhyuk approached immediately and looked at it. "Its a dolphin and that's a monkey!"
"You wanna buy that?" He asked. Donghae nodded. "Which one?"
"Both. " Donghae smiled. "The dolphin's for you, the monkey's for me."
"Huh?"
"Miss, I'll take this!" Eunhyuk wasn't able to stop him from buying those because he looked so happy and excited. As soon as he got it, he gave the dolphin immediately to Eunhyuk.
"Are you sure you wanna give this to me?" Eunhyuk asked.
"Of course! So when you go back to your world, you won't forget you had a friend like me!"
Eunhyuk sighed. I won't forget you even if you didn't give this to me Hae. He thought and pulled it off. "Here."
Sungmin and Kibum looked at him. "What is that?" Sungmin asked.
"Its just a necklace I bought. Nothing special." Eunhyuk said as he offered it to Kibum. Kibum took it then examined it. After examining it, he agreed to tell them where they hide the humans. Sungmin and Eunhyuk was happy to hear that though Sungmin is bothered by the necklace. He thought, he saw it before. He ignored it and listened to Kibum telling where they are.
After Kibum told them where the humans are, he also told them its dangerous to even try. The humans kept captive are locked and hidded under the castle. By castle, it means Leeteuk and Kangin's castle. Sungmin was scared to fight his own mentor, Leeteuk, which rather explains why he was the best Genie of their batch, why Leeteuk always favored him and why he calls him umma.
When Sungmin and Eunhyuk were about to leave, Kibum said one last thing. "Oh and guys, if you want to get there safely, I think you need to ask help from Siwon."
"Who's Siwon?" Eunhyuk asked.
"He's that rich guy who lives in a mansion near the castle. His mansion stands out so you will find it immediately. He has the most powerful Genie guards in here, although Heechul almost beat him at that. He's a nice person don't worry. And be careful outside, all of us already knew about what happened to your master Sungmin."
Eunhyuk and Sungmin nodded. "Thanks Kibum shii." Sungmin smiled at him then followed Eunhyuk who walked first outside.
Kibum played with the necklace he received. "Let's see what're the memories inside you."
While Eunhyuk and Sungmin are walking, hiding their faces with hoods, Sungmin argued a bit with Eunhyuk. "Do we really need any help? How are you sure we can trust that Siwon guy?" Sungmin doubted.
Eunhyuk sighed. "Sungmin, you may be one of the best and powerful Genies here, but you're weak now. So we really need help. I'm not even that powerful."
"But you're next to Heechul hyung."
"I'm next to him, so I still won't be able to beat him. And with all the castle guards? We're gonna die!"
Sungmin thought for awhile. "Alright fine." He agreed in the end. Thinking about it, he is weak now. Maybe before he could take all the castle guards with one blast of magic, now, he don't think he can even take on guard with this magic. He has no choice. He needs all the help he can get to save Kyuhyun. If only I went with Heechul earlier. Sungmin shook his head. No! Now isn't the time to think like that! Focus Sungmin, you need to get back Kyuhyun. No matter what...
"Sungmin, I think this is the place." Eunhyuk stopped walking and looked in front of him, amazed.
"Wow, its big. This is Siwon's mansion?" Sungmin asked.
"I think so..." Eunhyuk looked around and found a doorbell near the gate. He approached it and pressed it numerous times. A voice immediately came out, telling whoever is doing that to stop and asking who was beeping. Sungmin and Kyuhyun looked at the camera at the corner top and waved. "Umm...Eunhyuk and Sungmin?"
They waited for a few seconds but there was no reply. But then, the gate opened slowly which freaked them out. There were Qarins, good Qarins, waiting for them and floating around them, leading them inside the mansion. Eunhyuk looked completely uneasy but Sungmin was amazed and fascinated. He still gets fascinated easily. "Whoa...this is so cool..." He said while looking around inside the mansion. It was shining, pure gold and glittering. Its good for his eyes but it was not for Eunhyuk's.
They were interrupted by a lady's voice which sounded like she was complaining. "I don't care! Just tell me how am I gonna attend that party if I don't have a glitter???" Sungmin and Eunhyuk watched her getting closer. "Come on! Tell me--" She paused when she saw Eunhyuk and Sungmin staring at her. "Oh. Guests?" Her voice became softer.
"Uhh...hi, how are you?" Sungmin greeted awkwardly.
"Why didn't anyone told me about these guests?" She complained again. "Your names?"
Sungmin gulped. "I'm Sungmin. And this is Eunhyuk." Eunhyuk bowed in respect.
"And...who are you looking for? Oh wait, who else would it be anyway. Siwon's upstairs." She said, pointing the stairs behind here. "I believe...he's in the balcony."
"Is it alright to go up?" Sungmin asked.
"I wouldn't tell you if its not alright. Now go, before I change my mind and feed you to my pets."
Sungmin and Eunhyuk was shocked and went immediately to the stairs. Sungmin inhaled and gathered his courage to meet Siwon. Now it feels like he really needs his help since he realized how weak he is. He's not blaming his feelings for it and especially not blaming Kyuhyun for it. Instead, he feels grateful that Kyuhyun gave him a reason to live.
While they were walking to the hallway, some Genies and Qarins guided them. They just smiled at them while flying around. They later reached the said balcony and there, a guy was sitting quietly while reading a book. "A-hem!" Sungmin cleared his throat and he succeeded to catch the guy's attention. The guy stood up and turned around.
He was handsome, very handsome. He looks like a prince to be honest. "I've been expecting you." He said.
Eunhyuk and Sungmin looked at each other, confused. "Huh?"
"Kibum told me about you guys." He walked over them. "Siwon." He offered his hand for a handshake.
"Eunhyuk. Nice to meet you, Siwon shii." Eunhyuk shook hands with them. Then he turned to Sungmin.
"My name's Sungmin." Sungmin smiled. "Nice to meet you." He shook hands. After, Siwon's face expression changed as he looks at Sungmin. "Is there something wrong?"
"No." Siwon shook his head. "Its my first time, seeing the famous Sungmin up close."
"Ah, really?"
"You were famous because of your magic. Now, you're famous because of what you did." Siwon said.
Sungmin frowned. "Is that so?"
"Next time, you two need to be careful. Leeteuk was so angry that he prepared the Genies to stop Sungmin getting in the castle. You're in big trouble Sungmin."
"I know that but..."
"Must be hard to fight your own mentor, huh, Sungmin?" Another voice interrupted them from behind. A lady was standing there, looking wealthy and royal.
"Gyuri?" Sungmin said. "What're you doing here?"
Gyuri approached them. "Oh, just visiting. Since my dear cousin Heechul is nowhere in my sight, I visit my dear cousin Heechul's friend." She said.
"Oh...wait." Eunhyuk turned to Siwon. "You...know Heechul hyung?" He asked.
Siwon nodded. "Yeah, I do. Why?"
"Uh-huh..." Eunhyuk nodded. "Nothing...really."
Gyuri sighed. "So Siwon, helping them?" She asks. Siwon simply nodded and smiled. "Well goodluck." She smiled at the three of them. "Why are you still here? Kyuhyun's execution will be in an hour. Well, according to my sources."
"An hour?!" Sungmin exclaimed.
As soon as hearing informations from dear Heechul's cousin, Gyuri, about Kyuhyun's execution, Siwon created a plan. Its up to Sungmin and Eunhyuk what to do once inside the castle. Siwon will only help them get inside and get underground and that's all. Sungmin immediately approved since that was what they needed in the first place. Without further ado, they went by their plan.
15 minutes later, Sungmin and Eunhyuk are outside the castle with some of Siwon's guards. They waited until all the guards of the castle get to sleep before they go in directly. Another 5 minutes has passed until one guard signaled to them. Sungmin and Eunhyuk flew inside carefully, looking around for precaution. The other Genies were flying around them to cover.
Being Leeteuk's favorite student, Sungmin knew the ways to the castle. Secret passages, shortcuts and such and it became a great help. Leeteuk didn't told him about these, he just knew them from his long time of staying inside the castle. Leeteuk only taught him some tricks that other Genies can't do, and that was what made him excel from his batch.
Once Sungmin and Eunhyuk got inside the castle, they walked over the hallways. Flying would be a help if they needed it but now, there're fewer guards roaming around. They sneaked into the hallways, avoiding the guards and keeping quiet. They almost got busted but was able to invinciblize themselves. Eunhyuk knocked every guards they come across to sleep before going on.
Then they came into a problem. They got stuck in the middle of the interception of the hallways. "Sungmin, which way?"
"Wait...I'm trying to remember." Sungmin closed his eyes and thought deeply. Left, right, front? Why can't I remember? Come on Sungmin, remember....remember...agh! Its not use. We can't stop here now. Kyuhyun...I think I can try and follow Kyuhyun's presence... He thought deeply once again until it all became so quiet, he can't hear anything, not even Eunhyuk. He can't feel anything around him, just darkness. Where are you? He had visions of places around his mind, then directions that were unorganized. Come on...
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk shook Sungmin to wake. "Sungmin, what're you doing???"
"I know where to go!" He yelled. He pulled Eunhyuk to his left and walked straightly.
"Are you sure this is the way?" Eunhyuk asked.
"I think this is the way--" He stopped when they came to a dead end. All they can see...is a large door infront. Why does this door seem famliar? Sungmin looked around it. No it can't be...Sungmin ran to it and pushed the door, despite being so large and almost 5 tons heavy, he managed to open it. "I knew it. This is the wrong place." He said as he looks in front.
"Sungmin...welcome back." Someone greeted. Someone with dark and painful eyes. Someone dear to him.
"Haah...Leeteuk shii?!" Eunhyuk gasped. "Sungmin, wrong place..." He whispered.
Leeteuk smiled. "This...is completely the right place." He disappeared and reappeared behind them. "I'm disappointed in you, Sungmin." He said with an angry voice. Like what Siwon said, he's angry and disappointed. The door closed behind them and made a big bang, and it seemed like it won't open again.
Wrong turn...wrong place...wrong decision...this is all wrong... Sungmin thought. "Umma, please understand--"
"What?" He appeared again, infront of them. Eunhyuk stood stiffly. "I always remind you about these things Sungmin. How can you fail me?"
Sungmin gulped. "Just let Kyuhyun go and take me."
"You're too late. I sent Heechul over get you but you didn't come. He's left with no choice but to take Kyuhyun instead. I hope you realize your mistake. He's a human Sungmin. And you're not supposed to fall in love with one."
Sungmin became silent. "On second thought...yeah, you're right Umma. He's just a human--"
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk whispered.
"--given three wishes but only used two. A very arrogant and stubborn human...a human...that I love."
"Enough!" Leeteuk yelled in anger and pushed Sungmin unto the wall furiously which caused the wall to break.
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk ran to him immediately as he falls to the ground.
Sungmin coughed. "He's a human...who is very impatient, short tempered..." He continued despite being weak. "...snarky..."
"I said stop!" Leeteuk walked to him and kicked his chin violently. Eunhyuk froze, seeing Sungmin getting hurt and seeing Leeteuk with dark eyes. Very dark eyes that is was scary.
"...sweet...caring..." Sungmin continued, pausing every word to breathe. "...always playing games....staying up all night..." He teared remembering all those precious moments. "...always...smirking..." He cried. Not even Leeteuk's kicks affected him. Although it hurts getting pained by someone who teached you, someone who guided you since becoming his student, its more painful to even think of losing someone you changed while you're here. He coughed blood after series of kicks and punches from his own mentor.
He didn't use magic...he still cares...He thought. He opened his eyes and he saw the ceiling, his vision is blurry and his tears blocked his view. He looked beside him and saw Eunhyuk struggling for pain, leaning on the wall. He hurted him too? He asked himself. "Umma..." He slowly pushed himself to stand up. Muscle pains, broken bones, its nothing. He coughed. "You told me before...you'll find a reason to live if you find someone to love..." He swayed standing up and leaned on the wall behind him. "Now I did...and its true...now I understand..." He looked at Leeteuk slowly with his blue eyes showing. Now its blue eyes to dark eyes.
Leeteuk teared. "I hate this...this isn't how I wanted it to be!" He took out a sphere and attacked Sungmin. Sungmin's eyes widened as he froze and watched Leeteuk coming closer with a sphere. He closed his eyes and turned his head, waiting.
"Stop!" He heard a familiar voice. "Leeteuk, what're you doing?!" Sungmin opened his eyes and saw Kangin hugging Leeteuk, still holding the sphere with him. Leeteuk's eyes were misty and dark, and his tears were falling. It was sad and painful.
"Let me kill him...I failed..." He pleaded while crying. Carrying the pain of seeing one of your precious students you taught yourself, getting fooled by a human and breaking rules. Sungmin watched them, pitying over himself and pitying more over his Umma.
"No, you didn't fail." Kangin managed to turn Leeteuk away from Sungmin. He stroke Leeteuk's hair and motioned for Sungmin to leave now. "Go!" He whispered. Sungmin knows he should but his feet wouldn't move. It just won't move.
Eunhyuk ran to him and pulled him. "Let's go!" They ran to an opened door near them without thinking and hesitating. Their priority is to get out of the room as soon as possible. Sungmin still hasn't snapped out, images of his Umma being hurt like that, its like he betrayed his own race. He's at fault of all of this and other people are hurting. His tears fell and he stopped running. "Sungmin?"
He knelt down on the floor. "I can't...I can't go on..." He whispered.
"What are you saying?!" Eunhyuk knelt down next to him.
"Umma's hurt...because of me...I'm gonna hurt a lot of people..."
"What?!" Eunhyuk exclaimed. "Look Sungmin, we came here to save Kyuhyun. I came with you because I thought you were serious! No let's go!" He insisted.
"I already hurt Umma...then Ryeowook...then Yesung hyung..." He said continously. "I can't--" He felt a pain on his cheek and he snapped out. Eunhyuk slapped him, again. He fell on to floor and refused to stand up until he composed himself.
"I don't what made you think that but, you're not hurting anyone! If there's one thing Yesung hyung and Ryeowook would want you to do right now, it would be to save Kyuhyun! Ryeowook can't wake up without Kyuhyun, Sungmin!" Eunhyuk yelled in irritation.
Sungmin chuckled. "You're right...what...what the heck was I thinking...?" He cried again. "I'm...I'm so stupid..." He sat up, smiling while his tears continued to fall down. His blue eyes were gone, Eunhyuk noticed. "I'm Sungmin...right?"
"Fuck, what took you so long?" Eunhyuk rolled his eyes and sighed. "Come on!" He pulled Sungmin to stand then continued running.
They reached a rather unfamiliar place and an unfamiliar atmosphere. It was dark and deadly out here. Skulls and bones everywhere, cub webs, spiders, insects. They don't even know how they got here. They walked slowly further and it became blurry because of the fogs. Suddenly, someone grabbed Sungmin's arm. "AHH!" He yelled in shock and turned around. "Siwon shii!" He was relieved.
"Sorry to scare you...that's the way underground." He said pointing to the river in front of them. "Down there."
"What?!" Eunhyuk asked. "We're gonna swim down??" Siwon nodded in response.
Sungmin thought for awhile. "And then?" He asks.
"You'll see a small light the further you go, swim to it and you'll reach the ground. Be careful, someone might be waiting for you."
"How long does it take to get there?"
"Only minutes, the water is moving too, you'll get pushed." Siwon replied. "My guards will come with you, you don't have to worry."
Sungmin smiled at him. "Thanks for helping us, Siwon shii. We'll promise to repay you."
"No need. Now, you have to go." He smiled and pushed Sungmin and Eunhyuk to the water.
"Ahhh!" They yelled falling hardly to the water, almost drowning. Eunhyuk tried to swim up for air but he couldn't even reach the surface no matter how close it he could see it was. Sungmin pulled him and used magic to breathe. There were two Genies who were pulling them at each side to guide them as they follow the other Genies in front of them, leading the way.
"Stay calm." He gestured to Eunhyuk and Eunhyuk nodded. On the way down the water, they saw bones floating around them. Torn shirts and dresses, skulls all around and skeletons below them, stuck in between rocks. Sungmin was scared and held tight to Eunhyuk. No way he's gonna end up like that, neither will Kyuhyun. He kept that in mind.
He was restless until he saw the light Siwon told them. He was relieved when he can spot it but was interrupted with the Genie leaving one by one. He turned around and watched as they stayed there and didn't swim any further. He looked at one Genie who was smiling at them. You need to go on your own now... He heard her say.
Sungmin nodded and smiled back. Thanks. He turned back around and swum with Eunhyuk up to that light infront of them and it wasn't long until they reached the surface. They coughed as they breathed for air and while floating on the water, they looked around. The place was like a small basement with a swimming pool. Only, the basement looked like a dungeon itself. They swam to the edge and pulled themselves up to the ground. They panted as they fell to the ground and sat for a moment. "Is this...the place?" Eunhyuk asked, still panting and wiped his face.
Sungmin stood up and walked around. "I think so...but...which door are we gonna take?" He asked while looking at the 5 doors around the place. "Siwon didn't say anything about this." He turned to Eunhyuk.
"Can't we open all of the doors?"
"I think that would be dangerous..."
"Be careful, someone might be waiting for you."
"Oh yeah...I think we can open all of it..." Sungmin nodded.
"What do you mean?"
"Siwon said, someone might be waiting for us. That means, there's one door where if we open it, someone is waiting." Sungmin explained. "You can knock down Qarins right?"
"Uh yeah. Who do you think I am?" Eunhyuk boasted.
"Come on?" Sungmin gestured and walked to the first door. Eunhyuk stood in front of it as Sungmin stood beside it and opened it. There was nothing but darkness. They moved on to the next door but there was still nothing inside. Then the next one, Sungmin had a hard time to open it but when he managed, there was still nothing in sight. "Okay...I have feeling the fourth door has someone waiting for us." He said and opened it. They waited for seconds then suddenly there was a strong gust of wind that hit Eunhyuk to the wall. "Eunhyuk!" Sungmin ran to him immediately.
"Ouch...huh?" Eunhyuk looked up and saw a Qarin waiting inside. "Sungmin look!" He pointed.
Sungmin looked back and saw the Qarin. "Its the right door! Eunhyuk, knock her out!"
"Wait wait." Eunhyuk stood up and gathered his magic. "Qarins who seek and what to find, do what I speak and let eyes be blind!"
Sungmin glared. "A spell? You used a spell?"
The Qarin bumped to the walls in reaction to her getting blind. "It worked! Come on Sungmin, spells are easier to use."
"Yeah...when we were seven. I told you to knock her out." Sungmin mocked.
"Just come on!" Eunhyuk pulled him to the door and kicked the Qarin out of their way. "Sorry Ms. Qarin."
Later, they reached the end and found a large room. A large and dark room. Seems worse than a dungeon, not what they have imagined originally. Sungming created a fire in his hand in which Eunhyuk did the same to lighten their steps. It was so quiet that it was creepy. They looked up and saw stairs, spiral stairs and the ceiling was so high. "This place...reminds me of Harry Potter." Eunhyuk commented, advancing further.
"I think...its more like Lord of the Rings...you know..."
"Stop, its getting creepier." Eunhyuk said, They later reached the stairs. "Should we go up?"
"Hmmm..." Sungmin looked around while Eunhyuk started to go up and saw a note beside it.
"AHH!" Eunhyuk slipped and fell over.
"Slippery when wet..." Sungmin reads.
"You should've said that earlier. Damn it Sungmin." Eunhyuk stood up and glared.
"Oops. Sorry." Sungmin smiled and helped him get up. "Let's be careful." He reminded and went up first, slowly.
While they were slowly going up, Eunhyuk trembled whenever he looks below them. Sungmin told him to stop his idiocy and be careful. The further they went, the more echos of screams they hear everywhere. It wasn't really helping since the insects are crawling everywhere too. Drops of water and screaks freaked them out everywhere they turned. "This place...needs some renovation." Eunhyuk commented, not very happy at all.
Later, they reached the top and two doors. "Two doors...uh-huh." Sungmin sighed.
"Which one are we gonna open?" Eunhyuk asked.
"Maybe both?" Sungmin suggested. "This is bad. We have no idea."
Eunhyuk took out something from his pocket and showed to Sungmin. "Should we try this?"
"A dice?"
"Hae gave this to me. He said he uses this when he get losts or he can't decide." Eunhyuk explained.
Sungmin thought deeply. "Guess we have no choice."
Eunhyuk smiled and changed the illustrations of each sides od the dice with 'Left' and 'Right' with his magic. He then threw it high up and waited with Sungmin until it drops down back. He picked it up and looked at which one. "Right..." He said. They both looked at the door and decided to follow their hunch. "Amen Donghae if this is right."
The door is metal and is thick so it was hard for them to pull it open. Even with magic, they didn't succeed easily. They later found out that there were iron on the other side of the door. Its not like magic doesn't work with iron, its just that its weaker with iron. Not to mention, that's a lot of iron. "I think we opened the right door. Genies aren't supposed to be here so of course they'll put irons." Sungmin concluded then resumed pulling the door with Eunhyuk.
"Ugh God! Maybe we should call Iron Man or something to open this up!" Eunhyuk complained. They gathered all their strength and pulled harder in which they finally succeeded after a few repeats and warm ups. Eunhyuk and Sungmin fell to the ground painfully after opening it. "Ouch! Okay, my butt might really get tortured later." He said as he stands up slowly with Sungmin.
Sungmin looked inside. "We should go now. We don't have a lot of time left." He went in with Eunhyuk carefully. They hesitated walking further when they heard iron and metals, voices and screams of pains. Now its official, this is the right place. Sungmin wished he could've learnt how to deal with those irons but he wasn't even supposed to go inside this place so there was no reason to learn how. What's weird is that...no one actually attacked them up to now. Something's up, he thought. Something doesn't feel right. We got in too easy...which is strange...
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk yelled from behind him. Sungmin looked in front and got hit by a large log thrown unto them. Eunhyuk avoided it immediately and ran to Sungmin, curling up painfully on the ground. "Sungmin are you alright?"
Sungmin coughed blood as his left arm got bruised easily. "I'm fine." He looked up immediately to look for something that might come to them anytime now. They listened to their surrounding, drops of water, screams, irons...and wind. "AHH!" He yelled as he gets thrown onto the wall with Eunhyuk separated to him. Who's doing this...? He thought slowly falling to the ground, painfully, still feeling the strong wind hitting his sensitive stomach.
"Does it hurt?" He heard. They both heard. He opened his eyes slowly, and despite the blurry vision, he saw who it was. Judging from the voice itself. "How does it feel, Sungmin?" He asks.
"H-Heechul hyung?" He called, sitting up, pushing his body with his arms despite all the pains he has gotten now. There came footsteps getting nearer, he saw his eyes. Now why does all of them change? He was wrong. It wasn't only Leeteuk, Ryeowook and Yesung that he hurted, also Heechul. Seeing his eyes full of anger and pain, he realized. He hurted him too. "Hyung--ah!" He gasped when a hard foot kicked his chest.
Eunhyuk was unconscious, he can't rely on him. "You're too brave to even come here."He said as he looked down on Sungmin, bloody wounded on the floor.
"Why are you...doing this?" Sungmin asks as he tried to breathe despite the hard force pushing against his chest, making it harder for him to breathe properly.
Heechul smirked. He lift his foot back and caused Sungmin to cough for air. He knelt down and grabbed his chin violently, his fingers pressing agains't Sungmin's delicate skin. "If I can't be with Hankyung, you can't be with Kyuhyun too." He whispered. Sungmin's eyes widened. Makes sense. It clearly makes sense. He was selfish to want to be with Kyuhyun yet Heechul can't be with Hankyung. He felt guilty over the thought. "You'll suffer with him." He said with an angry tone and violent eyes.
He snapped and looked at Heechul. "Where is he?!"
Heechul smirked and stood up. "Somewhere...nearer to heaven."
Somewhere nearer to heaven...nearer to heaven...I know where that is! Sungmin stood up and limped trying to run away but Heechul maanged to catch up,grabbing his hair and pulling him, locking his neck with his hand and pushing him down violently on the ground that caused a big quake. Sungmin almost didn't feel anything but pain. "You're not going anywhere." He said, stepping on Sungmin's stomach. Sungmin felt like a small pillow getting stepped on noticing how it looked easy while Heechul was doing it.
"AHHH!" Sungmin yelled in pain, fists clenched tightly to a fist as he struggles and struggles to get away from Heechul. He asked himself, what have he done to his friend? As he knelt down and curled his body, coughing every last blood his mouth had, panting over ridiculous cries, he was confused. Either to fight back or try to escape. Which one?
"Can you feel my pain now, Sungmin?" Heechul asks.
Sungmin looked up at him, with his eyes covered with his hair, sweaty wet hair. "I know how much pain you feel when you had to let go. But...you could've done something." He said, struggling to go on with his vocal chords almost giving up. "Heechul, its not impossible to be with a human when we want to."
"Who are you to say that?" Heechul mocked. "Aren't you Leeteuk's favorite, huh, Sungmin? Have you been training for this?"
Sungmin shook his head. "No...I never wanted did and so is Kyuhyun getting what I deserve." He looked at Heechul with serious blue eyes. Heechul admits, he pitied over Sungmin, looking like that. Whimpering in pain of all his anger. But he has a reason, and insisted to his chest that he doesn't care. Its unfair. Sungmin's selfish. That's all what Heechul could think of.
Just as they were busy trying to confront each other, a pair of hands woke Eunhyuk up. Eunhyuk looking dazedly confused, managed to restain from yelling seeing Sungmin with more bruises, wounds and blood stains. He turned to his left and saw someone who he assumed, helped him wake up. "You're here again." Is all he can say.
"You're pathetic. Everything for someone who was given a three wishes? Even if all of this didn't happen, he will still forget you Sungmin. Everything you did, everything you said, all those memories, he'll forget them one by one."
"Did you...really think...Hankyung forgot about you?" Sungmin said while coughing harshly, more blood on the floor.
Heechul paused. "He...he has nothing to do with this!" He kicked Sungmin again, the same spot in his stomach but leaving a bigger pain than usual. His legs are almost as hard as what his heart has become now. Sungmin regretted ever befriending someone like him. He wished he hadn't met him so he won't be hurt like this. So Heechul would still be the same Kim Heechul but it was too late now. Fuck my life...I screwed up and look at the outcome...if I die now, will I be able to see Kyuhyun again?
Heechul has slapped him several times with impossibles now. Impossible to run away, impossible to save Kyuhyun, impossible to be with him. It was painful if those words will scar him for life. If Eunhyuk heard this, will he be affected too? Everything seemed to be possible before. Everything seemed to be alright before, when he was with Kyuhyun. He made everything easy.
If he's gonna cry now, he's back with same old Sungmin who is defenseless and stupid. He would have to lie again that he's not scared even though its obvious. "You don't have to be scared, Sungmin." A simple sentence Kyuhyun had given him before. There's no reason for him to be scared, he needs courage now. If it was for him, he's willing to risk every last drop of his magic left. No, I won't cry for pain...He stood up and looked at Heechul who was ready to attack him again with a sword. I won't cry for fear... He stood straight, with all of his courage left and dodged Heechul's sword with his hands, as it bled cuts down to his arms.
Heechul's eyes widened. "So you're actually fighting back huh?" He smirked as he kept on pushing harder to go through Sungmin's hand with his sword.
I'll cry for love... Sungmin yelled and kicked Heechul on the stomach. He's turning to someone violent which he hated himself. "I understand what you're going through now hyung....but I don't understand...if you're still my friend." He said continuously.
"No, I'm not your friend anymore." Heechul went back on his feet and ran to Sungmin, attacking every chance he get with his sword with Sungmin dodging and avoiding it every time. If you can notice, Heechul has a bit more chance to win with Sungmin violently hurted now. Already wounded and bruised.
But despite all those sharps cutting in Sungmin's delicate skin, tearing his wounds to an even bigger one, he managed to stay up on his feet and fight Heechul. Having his bones slightly broke, his body tortured and bloods everywhere didn't stop him to stand up once again. They never thought, someone with weak magic can be this strong. But when he thought he had owned Heechul already, he's back once again on the bottom with his life hanging on the tip of Heechul's sword while pinned on the wall. "Goodbye." Heechul says, clutching Sungmin's neck.
He blamed himself for hesitating when he saw Heechul in too much pain because of him. He closed his eyes and his tears fell. Heechul moved a bit and he guessed, anytime now, his neck will be slashed with his sword. He's gonna fail. "Ah!" A cling interrupted his thoughts and heard Heechul's sword falling to the ground. He opened his eyes immediately and saw Heechul with no sword but still not letting go of him. His eyes became darker as he whispered. "Siwon."
Sungmin gasped as he turned and saw Siwon. "Siwon shii!" He yelled. Siwon was looking good with a bow as he stands in a rock. His bow was targetted to Heechul, where Heechul looked slightly shocked. Then it came to his mind. Aren't they friends...? He turned back to Heechul and saw how sad his face was. How hurt it was. This is too much for him already. He doesn't deserve this.
"Let go of him." Siwon said. Heechul gulped.
"Siwon no!" Sungmin yelled trying to stop Siwon in fighting his own friend.
"You're also...betraying me...? And its because of him?" Heechul asks, his tears slowly falling. Sungmin saw how this was so unfair to Heechul, he doesn't know how he could've been the victim of all this. "Why...?" He clenched his teeth as he tries to restrain himself from bursting out crying.
"Heechul, let go of him." Siwon said again, ignoring all of Heechul's words. It was harsh, Sungmin thought.
Heechul trembled and slowly pulled back his hand from Sungmin's neck. He bowed his head and slowly flew away from Sungmin. He seemed so lifeless and hurt, Sungmin can only watch him. "This is so unfair..." Heechul whispered which interrupted Sungmin from leaving. "This...is unfair..." He sobbed harshly. He covered his face with his hands as he lets his tears fall to the ground. He looked so helpless floating high and crying.
Eunhyuk called Sungmin from below. Sungmin flew down immediately while Heechul was crying. Siwon was looking at him, it looked like he was more hurt than Heechull. He didn't know what to do, he dragged Siwon unto this and now Siwon has to mercilessly fight his own friend. He's hurting everyone. He felt like backing out but he can't just.
Eunhyuk pulled him and whispered. "This is our chance let's go." Eunhyuk was also trembling and avoiding looking at Heechul. Knowing Eunhyuk, this is too much to handle. He felt sorry for Eunhyuk when he had to carry the burden of helping Sungmin. They ran silently and slowly to avoid catching Heechul's attention. This seems so wrong...
But Heechul stopped crying and removed his hands from his face. He smirked as he cursed everyone around him. "Tch." Sugmin heard him and stopped. When he turned around back, the only thing he saw was Heechul flying furiously to him with his sword back pointed at him. His tears were still flowing and his eyes looked much more hurt. Sungmin didn't know what to do.
But what shocked him was Siwon blocking Heechul's way and stabbing him with the bow. "Ack...!" Heechul's eyes widened as clearly as shocked as Eunhyuk and Sungmin. Siwon stabbed him, his friend. "Si...Siwon...?" Heechul's tears flowed non stop as long as how hurt he was knowing his friend stabbed him.
Siwon stroke Heechul's hair and rested his head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Heechul..." He apologized as he cried with him. Slowly carrying down a Heechul breathing hard, looking at him painfully with a bow buried on his stomach.
I killed him... Sungmin thought. No... He gasped and ran back. "Heechul!" Eunhyuk managed to grab his hand and pull him back. "Let me go Eunhyuk!"
"We have no time!" He yelled. "There's nothing we can do..." He cried. "Come on." He pushed himself to pull Sungmin to run away. The last thing Sungmin saw was Siwon sobbing painfully to Heechul laid on his lap and his Sorry. He's guilty. This is already too much. Why must other people suffer from my mistake? It just seemed unreasonable... He thought.
----------------------
"Sungmin doesn't care for you and let us take you instead to pay for your mistakes." That was the last sentence he heard and the first one he remembered after regaining consciouness. He opened his eyes slowly, weak from getting knocked out. His body felt numb as he tried to move. Where is this place? He asks himself as he managed to fully open his eyes. It was too bright he can't see clearly. It was also cold and freezing. He looked around and noticed, this is outside. At a roof maybe?
He saw unfamiliar creatures. It wasn't long until he realized this isn't his world. This is some place he has never been to, some dimension far form his imagination. Gold buildings, shinry surroundings, sparkly and glittery. Its something his eyes have never seen before. It has...a Sungmin feel to it. It them came to his mind. "Genie?" He said and hoped those creatured didn't hear him. Do they look originally like this? Souls and pale...? He couldn't believe it.
But when he first saw Sungmin in his Genie outfit, he looked nothing like these creatures flying around him. Then, they're not Genies. He peeked to what were the creatures doing in front of him, only a bit far. Something like...for a ritual? He thought. When he realized his hands are tied up on the wall, he snorted. "Rope? Gosh." He mocked. He quickly did several actions that made the rope loose enough for his hands to fit out. "I'm not smart for nothing." He said to himself.
When he managed to run off, the creatures yelled and pointed at him. "He's getting away!" One yelled. They can talk?!
He ran anywhere he could and looked for a door way out. He's human and they're far by mortal themselves so of course they would catch up. He felt a force behind him hitting his body and falling on the ground. "Ah!" He reacted. Not knowing what it was, he turned around to see. Yet what he saw were those creatures flying to him, looking mad. They produced some kind of wind from their palms and threw it to Kyuhyun which caused him to get blown away, hitting anything the came across.
Kyuhyun felt cuts and wounds from his body. He saw himself around knives and spheres which he got hit at. He stood up and saw a knife buried in his arm, deeply. Fuck. Blood were flowing non stop and he felt weak. He held the knife and pulled it off harshly. "AH!" He reacted due to the pain of a sharp metal inside his skin. It hurts like hell, especially when its your first time experiencing it. He was so confused, not having a single clue why all of this is happening.
"Why am I here?" He dared to ask. He being so blatant, stubborn and arrogent helped him ask such question.
One of the creatures grinned. "You're here to die."
Kyuhyun's eyes widened. Die? Die?! He gasped as the creatures moved closer. "Die? What do you mean die? What did I do?" He asked again, one question after another, clenching tightly his wound on his arm. He stared at them, hoping he will be enlightened. Throught their actions, he's slowly regaining informations from his head. They act like... He gasped. "Sungmin...where's Sungmin?"
"So you still remember your precious Genie who betrayed you?" One Genie appeared. He could recognize he's a Genie, he was different from those around him and he dressed like Sungmin.
"What? Betrayed? What do you mean? and...who are you?" Kyuhyun asked impatiently.
He smirked. "I'm Kibum." He said. Kyuhyun looked at him and noticed some things. He looked the same age as him and Ryeowook. He doesn't dress that well and he's wearing a familiar necklace. A really familiar necklace. Is that...Eunhyuk's necklace? He asked as he thought deeper. He remembered that necklace before. He saw Eunhyuk wear one, which Donghae gave him. Donghae...
------------------------
"Donghae!" Yesung yelled as he tried to snap Donghae who was staring blankly outside.
"Huh?" He turned around. "Yeah?" He felt something weird.
"I was asking where's Kyuhyun and Sungmin."
"Oh." Donghae paused. "Umm...they're at their house. They said Kyuhyun had an important...homework so Sungmin's helping him." He smiled stupidly.
"And Eunhyuk?"
Donghae paused and looked at Yesung cluelessly. "Who?"
"Eunhyuk, your best friend. Don't kid with me Hae."
Donghae still was clueless. "What're you talking about? Who's Eunhyuk?"
Yesung glared. "Aish, nevermind. You're not getting serious so there's no point in asking."
Donghae smiled hesitantly. Who's Eunhyuk...?
-------------------------
Eunhyuk stopped while he and Sungmin was running. Sungmin turned around and saw Eunhyuk standing and staring blankly. "Eunhyuk?" He called and shook Eunhyuk. "Hey!"
Eunhyuk snapped. "Huh?"
"Is something wrong?" Sungmin asked.
Eunhyuk shook his head. "N-No..." He smiled hesitatingly. No, something is wrong. He touched his collar bones looking for that thing which used to be around his neck. His necklace. He regretted giving it up but there's no time for regretion now.
"Eunhyuk." Sungmin nudged him. When he turned, Sungmin was staring at something in front of them.
Eunhyuk followed his gaze and looked. What he saw, was a Qarin waiting for them. No, its more like stopping them. She was a lady Qarin, mystic, wicked but lovely. Her long hair seemed to be her weak point, Eunhyuk assumed. "Sungmin, when I count to three, run to the door. I'll keep her busy." He whispered.
"What?!" Sungmin exclaimed. "You can't do that! I promised Donghae--"
"You promised him what?"
Sungmin gulped.
He sighed. "Alright, I'll do it. In one condition."
"What?" Sungmin and Eunhyuk asked.
Donghae gestured for Sungmin to come closer and then whispered. "Make sure Hyukkie's safe, please." Sungmin paused after Donghae finished then nodded.
Sungmin remembered earlier about their deal, about Donghae's condition. "I-I promised him...that you'll be safe."
Eunhyuk rolled his eyes and teared up. "That was it...earlier?" Sungmin nodded. Eunhyuk couldn't believe it. He closed his eyes and looked up to stop tears from falling.
"He cares for you, Eunhyuk." Sungmin said.
Eunhyuk wiped his tears and sighed. "You know what? Its fine. Its completely fine. Sungmin, if you want to save Kyuhyun, do what I say."
"But Eunhyuk--"
"I'll be fine." Eunhyuk smiled. "I have a reason to live."
Sungmin was convinced. Now, Eunhyuk feels the same as him. Now, they understand each other. "I'll be back for you." He swore.
"1, 2...3!" Eunhyuk yelled and watched as Sungmin ran to the Qarin. The Qarin looked at Sungmin and attempted to approach him but Eunhyuk managed to pull her hair. "Your enemy's here bitch." He said. The Qarin became furious of her hair being pulled and turned his attention to Eunhyuk which created a way for Sungmin to get to the other side, behind the Qarin and run further.
Damn Hae...you're the reason why I'm doing this. Eunhyuk thought and smiled, getting ready for whatever attack the Qarin gives him. He dodged the Qarins blow of strong wind with his arms crossed in front of his face, creating a force field. There's no doubt his magic got weaker. Why did Sungmin had to inform Eunhyuk about Donghae?
Eunhyuk wasn't sure how is he gonna live after this. He's back in his world and he's inlove, causing his magic to drain. Whether he'll die after this or he'll lose his magic midway and slowly die. This is too much, add the Qarin's merciless punches, kicks and hits. Her attacks are non stop and even if Eunhyuk had a chance to dodge, his magic is failing him.
Receiving series of pains and hurts, he pushed his heart to keep strong. If only, Donghae can hear him. He's been trying to talk to him but he just won't reply. Its no because of his magic, he's his Genie so they don't need magic to communicate. It felt like, Donghae pushed him aside this time. Despite his body being weak with cuts and bruises, he lift his hand and reached for his collar bone. He's feeling a lot more regretful he lost his necklace. No, he didn't lose it, he gave it up. He was so stupid.
I'm sorry....Donghae... His last thoughts after seeing the Qarin slowly coming up to him.
-------------------------------
Sungmin felt a lot more courageous now that he's alone. He walked to one direction, straight. He tried to sum up his thoughts and avoid regrets inside his heart. His situation came to an end when he saw a door, another familiar door. The same doors as before which led them here. Which led to Siwon and Heechul fighting, which led to Eunhyuk sacrificing and he wonders what he'll end up to. Without hesitation, he opened the door and felt a cold breeze. A cold breeze, a cold atmosphere and a cold body of a person important to him. The reason why he came here.
His eyes widened in despair. "K...Kyuhyun!!!" He quickly ran towards a body lying on the floor, wounded, blooded, tortured, he can't think anymore. When he reached him, his eyes were closed and he wasn't moving. "Kyuhyun! Kyuhyun!" He shook him.
Kyuhyun moved a bit and Sungmin felt relieved. He coughed blood and opened his eyes to a person with a familiar warmth around his body. "Sungmin?"
Sungmin smiled and hugged Kyuhyun. "Oh My God...what have they done to you?" His tears fell as he look at every part of Kyuhyun's body. This is too much, it needs to end.
"Nice to see you again, Sungmin." Sungmin hated greetings like these. Especially when its someone he knew. He turned around and saw who he expected it to be when he identified the voice.
The merchant... "Kibum..." He still couldn't believe it. Everything is just agains't him. His hopes fell apart. Did he, planned all this? He saw Eunhyuk's necklace around his neck and went mad. "That necklace...why are you wearing that?!"
"Oh this? This is mine now." Kibum smiled.
"That's not yours! Give it back!!" He yelled angrily.
"What's the point? I already erased all of the memories of the person inside this necklace."
Sungmin thought deeply. He erased...Donghae's memory? Was that what he meant? Then...Eunhyuk-- He got cut when he looked back at the door and saw the Qarin walking in, not a single wound. His eyes widened. He cried on the thought of how Eunhyuk failed, on what could've happened to him out there and he wasn't there to help.
Kyuhyun touched his cheek and wiped his tears. "Why are you crying? Bunny?" He asks with the same sweetness and warmth, looking pitifully but smiling.
Sungmin turned to him and pitied. "Nothing...I'm gonna get you out of here." He smiled painfully at Kyuhyun and helped him stand up. He guided him to avoid falling back on the ground.
"And where do you think you're going?" Kibum asked.
Sungmin turned to him. "You're not really a merchant, aren't you?"
"No. I'm part Qarin and part Genie but I'd rather accept Qarin than Genie. I found out about you and your friends so I volunteered to take care of it. Thus, means killing Kyuhyun or...you." He said.
"Then why did you erase Donghae's memories?"
"You are smart to figure that out easily. I checked on the memories inside this necklace and it seemed like Eunhyuk is falling in love, so I did something about it. You should be happy."
"Why would I be happy? Aren't you friends?"
Kibum glared. "No, we're not friends anymore. Since, after my last mission. Wasn't he the one who told Leeteuk about that?"
Sungmin remembered. When Eunhyuk accidentally told Leeteuk about his love for a human, as far as he could remember, his name was Changmin. Kibum had to push Changmin to say his last wish before the Qarins take action. Then, after his mission, Changmin's memories with him had to be erased. This is different from Hankyung, he never used his wishes so his memories weren't erased at all. "He didn't mean to." Sungmin insisted.
"Yeah...right..." Kibum mocked. He smirked and blew a gust of stronger wind in between Kyuhyun and Sungmin which caused them to separate. Kyuhyun, being violently tortured fell on the ground painfully and made a crying pain. Sungmin managed to fly away and not fall down with his little magic. "You'll die soon Sungmin, so I'll kill him first." Kibum said, referring to Kyuhyun.
Sungmin immediately accelerated his sped, flying back down to Kyuhyun but was grabbed first by two Qarins. "What the--let me go!" He yelled while struggling hard to pull away. The two Qarins were holding his arms with a tight grip and seemed to have no intention to ever let go. He looked back at Kyuhyun worriedly and was shocked with what he saw. His heart sank.
Kyuhyun was so helpless and weak. Kibum clutched his hand to Kyuhyun's neck and lifted him up like he's just some kind of a light doll. He saw Kibum smirking. "Should I throw you out...or stab you now?" He asks.
Sungmin still kept on struggling. "Kibum! Just kill me if you want and not him!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, hoping Kibum would hear and change his mind. He pleaded inside his heart and prayed.
Kibum turned to him with an irritated face. "Didn't you hear me earlier? You'll die soon anyway so I'll kill him."
Sungmin watched as Kibum creates a large and pointed sphere. His hear beat fast as he imagines what would happen next. He regretted ever accepting this mission in the first place. What he thought to be another succesful mission turned out like this, ended up in a battle field. Ended up with his friends dying. His tears fell with his blue eyes showing. Now, another one is gonna die. But not just a friend, he's a special one. He bowed his head and sobbed. T
his is all my fault...I started all this...why? If only I managed to keep myself from falling in love...all of this wouldn't have happened. Eunhyuk and Donghae would be bickering each other by now, Hankyung would talk about Heechul again...Ryeowook and Yesung would be singing together...and...Kyuhyun and I would be eating together with Sen...Life is so unfair...but... Sungmin looked up and wiped his tears. All of those isn't impossible...everything's possible, I won't cry for pain, I won't cry for fear...I'll cry for love...and I'll do everything because I love my friends.
"Now, goodbye." Kibum whispered to Kyuhyun as he attempts to stab him with the sphere he has in hand. He gathered all his force at the hand holding the sphere and pointed it at Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun closed his eyes and waited. "See you soon." Kibum stabbed him with full force, continuously burrying the sphere deeper to the chest he could see. Kyuhyun couldn't feel anything, its weird.
Sungmin coughed harshly. Kyuhyun opened his eyes and saw a familiar body frame in front of him, taking the sphere instead of him. "Sungmin?!" Kyuhyun exclaimed. Sungmin looked at him, eyes not shining anymore, blood coming from his mouth, tears falling. Images that Kyuhyun can't even handle. "Sungmin...!"
"No way...why did he...?" Kibum was shocked himself. He pulled the sphere back quickly which caused a lot more pain to Sungmin. He fell on the ground and clenched his body, bleeding violently and mercilessly.
"Sungmin!" Kyuhyun approached him and let Sungmin's head rest on his lap. "Sungmin, listen to me. Breathe Breathe." He asks as he laid his hand on Sungmin's badly wounded chest. "Sungmin, breathe...don't give up please..." He teared up seeing Sungmin slowly giving up and feeling his heart beat getting slower. Kibum dropped the sphere.
"Kyuhyun...." Sungmin's voice trembled as he spoke. "Use your...last wish please..." He pleaded.
"Please don't talk anymore, Sungmin hang on." He looked around for some help but only found Kibum standing, watching them and Qarins who cares no less. "Dammit. Sungmin keep breathing..." His tears fell completely and uncontrolably. Sungmin hated that kind of feeling he feels from him. Despair, Frighten, Pain...
Sungmin held Kyuhyun's hand tightly. "Please....use your last wish..." He begged. Kyuhyun turned to him, crying and confused. "Please, until I can still...hear you..." He coughed more blood.
Kyuhyun didn't know what to do. Should he wish for Sungmin to be healed? If he did that, the situation's still gonna be the same. What is he gonna do now? He looked at Sungmin's eyes and thought deeply. He needs to hurry. "I wish..." He said, still finding the right words to say. "I wish..." He thought deeply once again. "I wish Sungmin was never a Genie!"
...was never a Genie!
...never a Genie!"
It echoed to Sungmin's mind as he uses every last drop of magic he had. He doesn't know if it'll work but he still tried. He wants to grant his last wish before he dies. It wasn't long until Kyuhyun couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything anymore. Everything was white. There was nothing in sight. The pain was gone. He closed his eyes and he felt the wind. Cold breeze brushing agains't his skin. He felt like he's falling from the sky but he's not. Sungmin? He called.
"Kyuhyun!"
He heard a familiar voice. Another familiar voice.
"Kyuhyun!"
I opened my eyes. "Kyuhyun-shii?" A voice woke me up from my...sleep.
I looked around immediately. I'm in a rooftop...of my school. I hear the birds chirping, some voices of people. I'm back. I turned beside me and saw someone I used to long for. "Ryeowoook!" I yelled and hugged him immediately. "You're alright!"
Ryeowook looked confused. "Huh? Of course I'm alright, why wouldn't I be?" He asks. I let go of him immediately. Something's wrong. "Kyuhyun shii,classes will start soon."
"Uhh...yeah." I replied hesitantly and slightly confused. What is this? Deja Vu?
"Kyuhyun shii, I'll go ahead." He stood up. I grabbed his hand and he looked back.
"Ryeowook."
"Yeah? Do you want to come with me?" He asks, putting an innocent smile on his face. I let go of his hands, grabbed my things and walked beside him.
Was it a dream?

Summary: Kyuhyun found a Genie....a Naughty Genie.
------------------------
"Calm down. Sungmin, I saw some Qarins flying everywhere with Heechul and it looks like they took Kyuhyun with them." Eunhyuk said.
"What?! Where?!"
"To our world." Eunhyuk frowned.
Sungmin paused. "You've got to be kidding me."
"I'm serious." Eunhyuk said. Sungmin ran away to the door but Donghae managed to catch up and grab him.
"Where are you going?!" Donghae asked.
"I'm gonna get him!" Sungmin yelled.
"Are you nuts?! You're weaker than me now! How're you gonna do that?!" Eunhyuk asked worriedly.
"I don't care!" Sungmin pulled back his hand and attempted to fly but failed when Eunhyuk jumped over him. "Ah! Eunhyuk let me go!"
"Sungmin! If you're not gonna calm down, nothing will change! You're weak and you're in love! Don't be so reckless! Do you wanna die?!" Eunhyuk yelled.
Sungmin breathed hard and teared up. "I just want to save him...they're gonna kill him..."
Eunhyuk sighed, standing up and helped Sungmin. "I know what to do." He said and turned to a clueless Donghae who was standing behind them..
"Please tell me you're joking." Donghae glared at Eunhyuk and Sungmin after minutes of explanation. "I. AM. A. NORMAL--"
"You're not normal Hae. You're a fish who looks like a human." Eunhyuk teased.
"What the heck does that have to do with this?!" Donghae asked.
"Please Donghae. We really need your help. " Sungmin pleaded.
Donghae looked at them and thought for awhile. "You...you guys are lucky that I AM HERE." He sighed. "Alright, I'll do it. In one condition."
"What?" Sungmin and Eunhyuk asked.
Donghae gestured for Sungmin to come closer and then whispered. Sungmin paused after Donghae finished then nodded. "What is it?" Eunhyuk asked.
"Its nothing special Eunhyuk." Sungmin smiled. "Come on." He stood up and Eunhyuk followed while Donghae watches them leave the house.
Donghae was about to go too but Sen purred on his foot and meowed. He knelt down and picked up Sen. "Guess you're coming with me Little Sen." He caressed it then brought it with him.
"Are you sure its gonna work?" Sungmin asked while flying with Eunhyuk.
"Sungmin, you need to trust me. Only someone with a real singing voice can sing it. And Yesung has that." Eunhyuk assured.
"Alright, if you say so." He smiled at him then focused his eyes to the clouds.
----------------------
At the same time, Donghae drove to the hospital where he assumed Yesung was. "I'm risking my time for this." He said to himself as he gets out of his van and ran immediately inside the hospital. He prayed that Yesung is there so finding him so his task would be easy. As soon as he gets to his room, he opened the door and there he found Yesung busily playing his guitar and singing to Ryeowook. "Hyung!"
Yesung's guitar strings broke again and he turned to Eunhyuk. "Huh? What're you doing here?"
"Uhh...nothing...I'm visiting." He smiled. Now, I just have to wait...
Eunhyuk, Yesung's here. I'm with him now. He said to Eunhyuk.
Really? Keep him there Hae!
Sure. He nodded. Uhh...Hyukkie...
Yeah?
Be careful.
Eunhyuk paused and smiled. I will. Thanks.
Donghae watched the sky from the window and prayed that Eunhyuk and Sungmin will be able to come back safely.
---------------------
As Sungmin and Eunhyuk flew up higher, the clouds became darker and darker. Below them, the rain was falling. Sungmin felt uneasy as he keeps hearing the thunder around them. When the thunder stroke near him, he yelped and stopped midway. He covered his ears and tried to fly further but the thunder grew louder and louder that he can't predict where it'll come from.
As soon as Eunhyuk realizes that there is no Sungmin following from behind, he quickly flew back and there, he spotted Sungmin curling up in between the clouds. "I almost forgot. He's not scared of thunder, he's frightened when he hears them." He grabbed Sungmin and pulled him with speed away from the loud thunders. "You still get frightened huh?"
"Sorry." Sungmin yelled so Eunhyuk can hear it. When the clouds became calmer, Eunhyuk let go of him. "The cloud's calmer now."
"Yeah I can see it. Thanks." He said as he flies beside Eunhyuk.
"Sungmin, I can see the entrance!" Eunhyuk yelled, pointing at a particular place.
"Really??? Let's go!" They sped up together and flew straight to the entrance to their world.
----------------------
"I can't believe it. Its raining." Donghae said.
"Something is weird. I can feel it. Donghae, tell me honestly why you're here?" Yesung asked with a sound of suspicion.
Donghae turned to him. "I told you, I'm here to visit Ryeowook, hyung."
"Yeah right." Yesung stood up. "You came to visit and yet you're always beside the window. Maybe you're visiting the window."
"Hyung, why are you like that??? I came to visit but you're being mean!" Donghae whined.
"Alright alright, fine. Let's just say you're visiting Ryeowook...and the window." Yesung sighed and sat back on the chair beside Ryeowook's bed. Donghae turned to the sky again and not gazing away.
------------------------
As soon as Sungmin and Eunhyuk were able to enter without a sound, their clothes changed back to their old Genie outfits. They sneaked through the buildings and avoided the other Genies looking at them suspiciously. They covered their faces when they guessed the other Genies knew about the incident. "Where do you think they're keeping Kyuhyun?" Sungmin asked carefully.
"I don't know. But I know someone who might know." Eunhyuk pulled him to a place Sungmin has never been before.
They reached a small luxurious house. Eunhyuk knocked at the door, looking a bit pissed then someone opened the door without even asking who it was. "Ye--" He paused as soon as he saw Sungmin and Eunhyuk. "Oh."
"Kibum?!" Sungmin exclaimed.
He smiled to Sungmin then turned to Eunhyuk with a pissed face. "Hi Eunhyuk." He sighed.
"Okay don't even start with that. I'm not here to ask for forgiveness or anything, I'm here for a favor. And its not my favor." He said. "Not gonna let us in?"
"If only us didn't include you." He snarled. "Get in." He walked first.
Sungmin followed Eunhyuk inside, so clueless about their argument. "Did you had a fight or something?" He asked.
"Its none of your business." Kibum glared. "Why are you here anyway?"
"Umm...Eunhyuk said you know where they keep...umm...those humans who are caught...?" He stuttered, not finding the right words. "Do you?"
He turned to Eunhyuk. "You told him that?" Eunhyuk nodded. "If I tell you, what're you gonna give me in return?"
Oh yeah...merchants. Sungmin thought. "Umm, I don't have anything with me right now."
"Then I can't tell you." He said seriously.
Eunhyuk looked at the necklace he was wearing. It was a silver necklace with a shape of a dolphin. He remembered when he got this. It was just yesterday, at the souvenir shop he and Donghae went to.
"Hyuk look!" Donghae exclaimed while looking at a particular thing. Eunhyuk approached immediately and looked at it. "Its a dolphin and that's a monkey!"
"You wanna buy that?" He asked. Donghae nodded. "Which one?"
"Both. " Donghae smiled. "The dolphin's for you, the monkey's for me."
"Huh?"
"Miss, I'll take this!" Eunhyuk wasn't able to stop him from buying those because he looked so happy and excited. As soon as he got it, he gave the dolphin immediately to Eunhyuk.
"Are you sure you wanna give this to me?" Eunhyuk asked.
"Of course! So when you go back to your world, you won't forget you had a friend like me!"
Eunhyuk sighed. I won't forget you even if you didn't give this to me Hae. He thought and pulled it off. "Here."
Sungmin and Kibum looked at him. "What is that?" Sungmin asked.
"Its just a necklace I bought. Nothing special." Eunhyuk said as he offered it to Kibum. Kibum took it then examined it. After examining it, he agreed to tell them where they hide the humans. Sungmin and Eunhyuk was happy to hear that though Sungmin is bothered by the necklace. He thought, he saw it before. He ignored it and listened to Kibum telling where they are.
After Kibum told them where the humans are, he also told them its dangerous to even try. The humans kept captive are locked and hidded under the castle. By castle, it means Leeteuk and Kangin's castle. Sungmin was scared to fight his own mentor, Leeteuk, which rather explains why he was the best Genie of their batch, why Leeteuk always favored him and why he calls him umma.
When Sungmin and Eunhyuk were about to leave, Kibum said one last thing. "Oh and guys, if you want to get there safely, I think you need to ask help from Siwon."
"Who's Siwon?" Eunhyuk asked.
"He's that rich guy who lives in a mansion near the castle. His mansion stands out so you will find it immediately. He has the most powerful Genie guards in here, although Heechul almost beat him at that. He's a nice person don't worry. And be careful outside, all of us already knew about what happened to your master Sungmin."
Eunhyuk and Sungmin nodded. "Thanks Kibum shii." Sungmin smiled at him then followed Eunhyuk who walked first outside.
Kibum played with the necklace he received. "Let's see what're the memories inside you."
While Eunhyuk and Sungmin are walking, hiding their faces with hoods, Sungmin argued a bit with Eunhyuk. "Do we really need any help? How are you sure we can trust that Siwon guy?" Sungmin doubted.
Eunhyuk sighed. "Sungmin, you may be one of the best and powerful Genies here, but you're weak now. So we really need help. I'm not even that powerful."
"But you're next to Heechul hyung."
"I'm next to him, so I still won't be able to beat him. And with all the castle guards? We're gonna die!"
Sungmin thought for awhile. "Alright fine." He agreed in the end. Thinking about it, he is weak now. Maybe before he could take all the castle guards with one blast of magic, now, he don't think he can even take on guard with this magic. He has no choice. He needs all the help he can get to save Kyuhyun. If only I went with Heechul earlier. Sungmin shook his head. No! Now isn't the time to think like that! Focus Sungmin, you need to get back Kyuhyun. No matter what...
"Sungmin, I think this is the place." Eunhyuk stopped walking and looked in front of him, amazed.
"Wow, its big. This is Siwon's mansion?" Sungmin asked.
"I think so..." Eunhyuk looked around and found a doorbell near the gate. He approached it and pressed it numerous times. A voice immediately came out, telling whoever is doing that to stop and asking who was beeping. Sungmin and Kyuhyun looked at the camera at the corner top and waved. "Umm...Eunhyuk and Sungmin?"
They waited for a few seconds but there was no reply. But then, the gate opened slowly which freaked them out. There were Qarins, good Qarins, waiting for them and floating around them, leading them inside the mansion. Eunhyuk looked completely uneasy but Sungmin was amazed and fascinated. He still gets fascinated easily. "Whoa...this is so cool..." He said while looking around inside the mansion. It was shining, pure gold and glittering. Its good for his eyes but it was not for Eunhyuk's.
They were interrupted by a lady's voice which sounded like she was complaining. "I don't care! Just tell me how am I gonna attend that party if I don't have a glitter???" Sungmin and Eunhyuk watched her getting closer. "Come on! Tell me--" She paused when she saw Eunhyuk and Sungmin staring at her. "Oh. Guests?" Her voice became softer.
"Uhh...hi, how are you?" Sungmin greeted awkwardly.
"Why didn't anyone told me about these guests?" She complained again. "Your names?"
Sungmin gulped. "I'm Sungmin. And this is Eunhyuk." Eunhyuk bowed in respect.
"And...who are you looking for? Oh wait, who else would it be anyway. Siwon's upstairs." She said, pointing the stairs behind here. "I believe...he's in the balcony."
"Is it alright to go up?" Sungmin asked.
"I wouldn't tell you if its not alright. Now go, before I change my mind and feed you to my pets."
Sungmin and Eunhyuk was shocked and went immediately to the stairs. Sungmin inhaled and gathered his courage to meet Siwon. Now it feels like he really needs his help since he realized how weak he is. He's not blaming his feelings for it and especially not blaming Kyuhyun for it. Instead, he feels grateful that Kyuhyun gave him a reason to live.
While they were walking to the hallway, some Genies and Qarins guided them. They just smiled at them while flying around. They later reached the said balcony and there, a guy was sitting quietly while reading a book. "A-hem!" Sungmin cleared his throat and he succeeded to catch the guy's attention. The guy stood up and turned around.
He was handsome, very handsome. He looks like a prince to be honest. "I've been expecting you." He said.
Eunhyuk and Sungmin looked at each other, confused. "Huh?"
"Kibum told me about you guys." He walked over them. "Siwon." He offered his hand for a handshake.
"Eunhyuk. Nice to meet you, Siwon shii." Eunhyuk shook hands with them. Then he turned to Sungmin.
"My name's Sungmin." Sungmin smiled. "Nice to meet you." He shook hands. After, Siwon's face expression changed as he looks at Sungmin. "Is there something wrong?"
"No." Siwon shook his head. "Its my first time, seeing the famous Sungmin up close."
"Ah, really?"
"You were famous because of your magic. Now, you're famous because of what you did." Siwon said.
Sungmin frowned. "Is that so?"
"Next time, you two need to be careful. Leeteuk was so angry that he prepared the Genies to stop Sungmin getting in the castle. You're in big trouble Sungmin."
"I know that but..."
"Must be hard to fight your own mentor, huh, Sungmin?" Another voice interrupted them from behind. A lady was standing there, looking wealthy and royal.
"Gyuri?" Sungmin said. "What're you doing here?"
Gyuri approached them. "Oh, just visiting. Since my dear cousin Heechul is nowhere in my sight, I visit my dear cousin Heechul's friend." She said.
"Oh...wait." Eunhyuk turned to Siwon. "You...know Heechul hyung?" He asked.
Siwon nodded. "Yeah, I do. Why?"
"Uh-huh..." Eunhyuk nodded. "Nothing...really."
Gyuri sighed. "So Siwon, helping them?" She asks. Siwon simply nodded and smiled. "Well goodluck." She smiled at the three of them. "Why are you still here? Kyuhyun's execution will be in an hour. Well, according to my sources."
"An hour?!" Sungmin exclaimed.
As soon as hearing informations from dear Heechul's cousin, Gyuri, about Kyuhyun's execution, Siwon created a plan. Its up to Sungmin and Eunhyuk what to do once inside the castle. Siwon will only help them get inside and get underground and that's all. Sungmin immediately approved since that was what they needed in the first place. Without further ado, they went by their plan.
15 minutes later, Sungmin and Eunhyuk are outside the castle with some of Siwon's guards. They waited until all the guards of the castle get to sleep before they go in directly. Another 5 minutes has passed until one guard signaled to them. Sungmin and Eunhyuk flew inside carefully, looking around for precaution. The other Genies were flying around them to cover.
Being Leeteuk's favorite student, Sungmin knew the ways to the castle. Secret passages, shortcuts and such and it became a great help. Leeteuk didn't told him about these, he just knew them from his long time of staying inside the castle. Leeteuk only taught him some tricks that other Genies can't do, and that was what made him excel from his batch.
Once Sungmin and Eunhyuk got inside the castle, they walked over the hallways. Flying would be a help if they needed it but now, there're fewer guards roaming around. They sneaked into the hallways, avoiding the guards and keeping quiet. They almost got busted but was able to invinciblize themselves. Eunhyuk knocked every guards they come across to sleep before going on.
Then they came into a problem. They got stuck in the middle of the interception of the hallways. "Sungmin, which way?"
"Wait...I'm trying to remember." Sungmin closed his eyes and thought deeply. Left, right, front? Why can't I remember? Come on Sungmin, remember....remember...agh! Its not use. We can't stop here now. Kyuhyun...I think I can try and follow Kyuhyun's presence... He thought deeply once again until it all became so quiet, he can't hear anything, not even Eunhyuk. He can't feel anything around him, just darkness. Where are you? He had visions of places around his mind, then directions that were unorganized. Come on...
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk shook Sungmin to wake. "Sungmin, what're you doing???"
"I know where to go!" He yelled. He pulled Eunhyuk to his left and walked straightly.
"Are you sure this is the way?" Eunhyuk asked.
"I think this is the way--" He stopped when they came to a dead end. All they can see...is a large door infront. Why does this door seem famliar? Sungmin looked around it. No it can't be...Sungmin ran to it and pushed the door, despite being so large and almost 5 tons heavy, he managed to open it. "I knew it. This is the wrong place." He said as he looks in front.
"Sungmin...welcome back." Someone greeted. Someone with dark and painful eyes. Someone dear to him.
"Haah...Leeteuk shii?!" Eunhyuk gasped. "Sungmin, wrong place..." He whispered.
Leeteuk smiled. "This...is completely the right place." He disappeared and reappeared behind them. "I'm disappointed in you, Sungmin." He said with an angry voice. Like what Siwon said, he's angry and disappointed. The door closed behind them and made a big bang, and it seemed like it won't open again.
Wrong turn...wrong place...wrong decision...this is all wrong... Sungmin thought. "Umma, please understand--"
"What?" He appeared again, infront of them. Eunhyuk stood stiffly. "I always remind you about these things Sungmin. How can you fail me?"
Sungmin gulped. "Just let Kyuhyun go and take me."
"You're too late. I sent Heechul over get you but you didn't come. He's left with no choice but to take Kyuhyun instead. I hope you realize your mistake. He's a human Sungmin. And you're not supposed to fall in love with one."
Sungmin became silent. "On second thought...yeah, you're right Umma. He's just a human--"
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk whispered.
"--given three wishes but only used two. A very arrogant and stubborn human...a human...that I love."
"Enough!" Leeteuk yelled in anger and pushed Sungmin unto the wall furiously which caused the wall to break.
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk ran to him immediately as he falls to the ground.
Sungmin coughed. "He's a human...who is very impatient, short tempered..." He continued despite being weak. "...snarky..."
"I said stop!" Leeteuk walked to him and kicked his chin violently. Eunhyuk froze, seeing Sungmin getting hurt and seeing Leeteuk with dark eyes. Very dark eyes that is was scary.
"...sweet...caring..." Sungmin continued, pausing every word to breathe. "...always playing games....staying up all night..." He teared remembering all those precious moments. "...always...smirking..." He cried. Not even Leeteuk's kicks affected him. Although it hurts getting pained by someone who teached you, someone who guided you since becoming his student, its more painful to even think of losing someone you changed while you're here. He coughed blood after series of kicks and punches from his own mentor.
He didn't use magic...he still cares...He thought. He opened his eyes and he saw the ceiling, his vision is blurry and his tears blocked his view. He looked beside him and saw Eunhyuk struggling for pain, leaning on the wall. He hurted him too? He asked himself. "Umma..." He slowly pushed himself to stand up. Muscle pains, broken bones, its nothing. He coughed. "You told me before...you'll find a reason to live if you find someone to love..." He swayed standing up and leaned on the wall behind him. "Now I did...and its true...now I understand..." He looked at Leeteuk slowly with his blue eyes showing. Now its blue eyes to dark eyes.
Leeteuk teared. "I hate this...this isn't how I wanted it to be!" He took out a sphere and attacked Sungmin. Sungmin's eyes widened as he froze and watched Leeteuk coming closer with a sphere. He closed his eyes and turned his head, waiting.
"Stop!" He heard a familiar voice. "Leeteuk, what're you doing?!" Sungmin opened his eyes and saw Kangin hugging Leeteuk, still holding the sphere with him. Leeteuk's eyes were misty and dark, and his tears were falling. It was sad and painful.
"Let me kill him...I failed..." He pleaded while crying. Carrying the pain of seeing one of your precious students you taught yourself, getting fooled by a human and breaking rules. Sungmin watched them, pitying over himself and pitying more over his Umma.
"No, you didn't fail." Kangin managed to turn Leeteuk away from Sungmin. He stroke Leeteuk's hair and motioned for Sungmin to leave now. "Go!" He whispered. Sungmin knows he should but his feet wouldn't move. It just won't move.
Eunhyuk ran to him and pulled him. "Let's go!" They ran to an opened door near them without thinking and hesitating. Their priority is to get out of the room as soon as possible. Sungmin still hasn't snapped out, images of his Umma being hurt like that, its like he betrayed his own race. He's at fault of all of this and other people are hurting. His tears fell and he stopped running. "Sungmin?"
He knelt down on the floor. "I can't...I can't go on..." He whispered.
"What are you saying?!" Eunhyuk knelt down next to him.
"Umma's hurt...because of me...I'm gonna hurt a lot of people..."
"What?!" Eunhyuk exclaimed. "Look Sungmin, we came here to save Kyuhyun. I came with you because I thought you were serious! No let's go!" He insisted.
"I already hurt Umma...then Ryeowook...then Yesung hyung..." He said continously. "I can't--" He felt a pain on his cheek and he snapped out. Eunhyuk slapped him, again. He fell on to floor and refused to stand up until he composed himself.
"I don't what made you think that but, you're not hurting anyone! If there's one thing Yesung hyung and Ryeowook would want you to do right now, it would be to save Kyuhyun! Ryeowook can't wake up without Kyuhyun, Sungmin!" Eunhyuk yelled in irritation.
Sungmin chuckled. "You're right...what...what the heck was I thinking...?" He cried again. "I'm...I'm so stupid..." He sat up, smiling while his tears continued to fall down. His blue eyes were gone, Eunhyuk noticed. "I'm Sungmin...right?"
"Fuck, what took you so long?" Eunhyuk rolled his eyes and sighed. "Come on!" He pulled Sungmin to stand then continued running.
They reached a rather unfamiliar place and an unfamiliar atmosphere. It was dark and deadly out here. Skulls and bones everywhere, cub webs, spiders, insects. They don't even know how they got here. They walked slowly further and it became blurry because of the fogs. Suddenly, someone grabbed Sungmin's arm. "AHH!" He yelled in shock and turned around. "Siwon shii!" He was relieved.
"Sorry to scare you...that's the way underground." He said pointing to the river in front of them. "Down there."
"What?!" Eunhyuk asked. "We're gonna swim down??" Siwon nodded in response.
Sungmin thought for awhile. "And then?" He asks.
"You'll see a small light the further you go, swim to it and you'll reach the ground. Be careful, someone might be waiting for you."
"How long does it take to get there?"
"Only minutes, the water is moving too, you'll get pushed." Siwon replied. "My guards will come with you, you don't have to worry."
Sungmin smiled at him. "Thanks for helping us, Siwon shii. We'll promise to repay you."
"No need. Now, you have to go." He smiled and pushed Sungmin and Eunhyuk to the water.
"Ahhh!" They yelled falling hardly to the water, almost drowning. Eunhyuk tried to swim up for air but he couldn't even reach the surface no matter how close it he could see it was. Sungmin pulled him and used magic to breathe. There were two Genies who were pulling them at each side to guide them as they follow the other Genies in front of them, leading the way.
"Stay calm." He gestured to Eunhyuk and Eunhyuk nodded. On the way down the water, they saw bones floating around them. Torn shirts and dresses, skulls all around and skeletons below them, stuck in between rocks. Sungmin was scared and held tight to Eunhyuk. No way he's gonna end up like that, neither will Kyuhyun. He kept that in mind.
He was restless until he saw the light Siwon told them. He was relieved when he can spot it but was interrupted with the Genie leaving one by one. He turned around and watched as they stayed there and didn't swim any further. He looked at one Genie who was smiling at them. You need to go on your own now... He heard her say.
Sungmin nodded and smiled back. Thanks. He turned back around and swum with Eunhyuk up to that light infront of them and it wasn't long until they reached the surface. They coughed as they breathed for air and while floating on the water, they looked around. The place was like a small basement with a swimming pool. Only, the basement looked like a dungeon itself. They swam to the edge and pulled themselves up to the ground. They panted as they fell to the ground and sat for a moment. "Is this...the place?" Eunhyuk asked, still panting and wiped his face.
Sungmin stood up and walked around. "I think so...but...which door are we gonna take?" He asked while looking at the 5 doors around the place. "Siwon didn't say anything about this." He turned to Eunhyuk.
"Can't we open all of the doors?"
"I think that would be dangerous..."
"Be careful, someone might be waiting for you."
"Oh yeah...I think we can open all of it..." Sungmin nodded.
"What do you mean?"
"Siwon said, someone might be waiting for us. That means, there's one door where if we open it, someone is waiting." Sungmin explained. "You can knock down Qarins right?"
"Uh yeah. Who do you think I am?" Eunhyuk boasted.
"Come on?" Sungmin gestured and walked to the first door. Eunhyuk stood in front of it as Sungmin stood beside it and opened it. There was nothing but darkness. They moved on to the next door but there was still nothing inside. Then the next one, Sungmin had a hard time to open it but when he managed, there was still nothing in sight. "Okay...I have feeling the fourth door has someone waiting for us." He said and opened it. They waited for seconds then suddenly there was a strong gust of wind that hit Eunhyuk to the wall. "Eunhyuk!" Sungmin ran to him immediately.
"Ouch...huh?" Eunhyuk looked up and saw a Qarin waiting inside. "Sungmin look!" He pointed.
Sungmin looked back and saw the Qarin. "Its the right door! Eunhyuk, knock her out!"
"Wait wait." Eunhyuk stood up and gathered his magic. "Qarins who seek and what to find, do what I speak and let eyes be blind!"
Sungmin glared. "A spell? You used a spell?"
The Qarin bumped to the walls in reaction to her getting blind. "It worked! Come on Sungmin, spells are easier to use."
"Yeah...when we were seven. I told you to knock her out." Sungmin mocked.
"Just come on!" Eunhyuk pulled him to the door and kicked the Qarin out of their way. "Sorry Ms. Qarin."
Later, they reached the end and found a large room. A large and dark room. Seems worse than a dungeon, not what they have imagined originally. Sungming created a fire in his hand in which Eunhyuk did the same to lighten their steps. It was so quiet that it was creepy. They looked up and saw stairs, spiral stairs and the ceiling was so high. "This place...reminds me of Harry Potter." Eunhyuk commented, advancing further.
"I think...its more like Lord of the Rings...you know..."
"Stop, its getting creepier." Eunhyuk said, They later reached the stairs. "Should we go up?"
"Hmmm..." Sungmin looked around while Eunhyuk started to go up and saw a note beside it.
"AHH!" Eunhyuk slipped and fell over.
"Slippery when wet..." Sungmin reads.
"You should've said that earlier. Damn it Sungmin." Eunhyuk stood up and glared.
"Oops. Sorry." Sungmin smiled and helped him get up. "Let's be careful." He reminded and went up first, slowly.
While they were slowly going up, Eunhyuk trembled whenever he looks below them. Sungmin told him to stop his idiocy and be careful. The further they went, the more echos of screams they hear everywhere. It wasn't really helping since the insects are crawling everywhere too. Drops of water and screaks freaked them out everywhere they turned. "This place...needs some renovation." Eunhyuk commented, not very happy at all.
Later, they reached the top and two doors. "Two doors...uh-huh." Sungmin sighed.
"Which one are we gonna open?" Eunhyuk asked.
"Maybe both?" Sungmin suggested. "This is bad. We have no idea."
Eunhyuk took out something from his pocket and showed to Sungmin. "Should we try this?"
"A dice?"
"Hae gave this to me. He said he uses this when he get losts or he can't decide." Eunhyuk explained.
Sungmin thought deeply. "Guess we have no choice."
Eunhyuk smiled and changed the illustrations of each sides od the dice with 'Left' and 'Right' with his magic. He then threw it high up and waited with Sungmin until it drops down back. He picked it up and looked at which one. "Right..." He said. They both looked at the door and decided to follow their hunch. "Amen Donghae if this is right."
The door is metal and is thick so it was hard for them to pull it open. Even with magic, they didn't succeed easily. They later found out that there were iron on the other side of the door. Its not like magic doesn't work with iron, its just that its weaker with iron. Not to mention, that's a lot of iron. "I think we opened the right door. Genies aren't supposed to be here so of course they'll put irons." Sungmin concluded then resumed pulling the door with Eunhyuk.
"Ugh God! Maybe we should call Iron Man or something to open this up!" Eunhyuk complained. They gathered all their strength and pulled harder in which they finally succeeded after a few repeats and warm ups. Eunhyuk and Sungmin fell to the ground painfully after opening it. "Ouch! Okay, my butt might really get tortured later." He said as he stands up slowly with Sungmin.
Sungmin looked inside. "We should go now. We don't have a lot of time left." He went in with Eunhyuk carefully. They hesitated walking further when they heard iron and metals, voices and screams of pains. Now its official, this is the right place. Sungmin wished he could've learnt how to deal with those irons but he wasn't even supposed to go inside this place so there was no reason to learn how. What's weird is that...no one actually attacked them up to now. Something's up, he thought. Something doesn't feel right. We got in too easy...which is strange...
"Sungmin!" Eunhyuk yelled from behind him. Sungmin looked in front and got hit by a large log thrown unto them. Eunhyuk avoided it immediately and ran to Sungmin, curling up painfully on the ground. "Sungmin are you alright?"
Sungmin coughed blood as his left arm got bruised easily. "I'm fine." He looked up immediately to look for something that might come to them anytime now. They listened to their surrounding, drops of water, screams, irons...and wind. "AHH!" He yelled as he gets thrown onto the wall with Eunhyuk separated to him. Who's doing this...? He thought slowly falling to the ground, painfully, still feeling the strong wind hitting his sensitive stomach.
"Does it hurt?" He heard. They both heard. He opened his eyes slowly, and despite the blurry vision, he saw who it was. Judging from the voice itself. "How does it feel, Sungmin?" He asks.
"H-Heechul hyung?" He called, sitting up, pushing his body with his arms despite all the pains he has gotten now. There came footsteps getting nearer, he saw his eyes. Now why does all of them change? He was wrong. It wasn't only Leeteuk, Ryeowook and Yesung that he hurted, also Heechul. Seeing his eyes full of anger and pain, he realized. He hurted him too. "Hyung--ah!" He gasped when a hard foot kicked his chest.
Eunhyuk was unconscious, he can't rely on him. "You're too brave to even come here."He said as he looked down on Sungmin, bloody wounded on the floor.
"Why are you...doing this?" Sungmin asks as he tried to breathe despite the hard force pushing against his chest, making it harder for him to breathe properly.
Heechul smirked. He lift his foot back and caused Sungmin to cough for air. He knelt down and grabbed his chin violently, his fingers pressing agains't Sungmin's delicate skin. "If I can't be with Hankyung, you can't be with Kyuhyun too." He whispered. Sungmin's eyes widened. Makes sense. It clearly makes sense. He was selfish to want to be with Kyuhyun yet Heechul can't be with Hankyung. He felt guilty over the thought. "You'll suffer with him." He said with an angry tone and violent eyes.
He snapped and looked at Heechul. "Where is he?!"
Heechul smirked and stood up. "Somewhere...nearer to heaven."
Somewhere nearer to heaven...nearer to heaven...I know where that is! Sungmin stood up and limped trying to run away but Heechul maanged to catch up,grabbing his hair and pulling him, locking his neck with his hand and pushing him down violently on the ground that caused a big quake. Sungmin almost didn't feel anything but pain. "You're not going anywhere." He said, stepping on Sungmin's stomach. Sungmin felt like a small pillow getting stepped on noticing how it looked easy while Heechul was doing it.
"AHHH!" Sungmin yelled in pain, fists clenched tightly to a fist as he struggles and struggles to get away from Heechul. He asked himself, what have he done to his friend? As he knelt down and curled his body, coughing every last blood his mouth had, panting over ridiculous cries, he was confused. Either to fight back or try to escape. Which one?
"Can you feel my pain now, Sungmin?" Heechul asks.
Sungmin looked up at him, with his eyes covered with his hair, sweaty wet hair. "I know how much pain you feel when you had to let go. But...you could've done something." He said, struggling to go on with his vocal chords almost giving up. "Heechul, its not impossible to be with a human when we want to."
"Who are you to say that?" Heechul mocked. "Aren't you Leeteuk's favorite, huh, Sungmin? Have you been training for this?"
Sungmin shook his head. "No...I never wanted did and so is Kyuhyun getting what I deserve." He looked at Heechul with serious blue eyes. Heechul admits, he pitied over Sungmin, looking like that. Whimpering in pain of all his anger. But he has a reason, and insisted to his chest that he doesn't care. Its unfair. Sungmin's selfish. That's all what Heechul could think of.
Just as they were busy trying to confront each other, a pair of hands woke Eunhyuk up. Eunhyuk looking dazedly confused, managed to restain from yelling seeing Sungmin with more bruises, wounds and blood stains. He turned to his left and saw someone who he assumed, helped him wake up. "You're here again." Is all he can say.
"You're pathetic. Everything for someone who was given a three wishes? Even if all of this didn't happen, he will still forget you Sungmin. Everything you did, everything you said, all those memories, he'll forget them one by one."
"Did you...really think...Hankyung forgot about you?" Sungmin said while coughing harshly, more blood on the floor.
Heechul paused. "He...he has nothing to do with this!" He kicked Sungmin again, the same spot in his stomach but leaving a bigger pain than usual. His legs are almost as hard as what his heart has become now. Sungmin regretted ever befriending someone like him. He wished he hadn't met him so he won't be hurt like this. So Heechul would still be the same Kim Heechul but it was too late now. Fuck my life...I screwed up and look at the outcome...if I die now, will I be able to see Kyuhyun again?
Heechul has slapped him several times with impossibles now. Impossible to run away, impossible to save Kyuhyun, impossible to be with him. It was painful if those words will scar him for life. If Eunhyuk heard this, will he be affected too? Everything seemed to be possible before. Everything seemed to be alright before, when he was with Kyuhyun. He made everything easy.
If he's gonna cry now, he's back with same old Sungmin who is defenseless and stupid. He would have to lie again that he's not scared even though its obvious. "You don't have to be scared, Sungmin." A simple sentence Kyuhyun had given him before. There's no reason for him to be scared, he needs courage now. If it was for him, he's willing to risk every last drop of his magic left. No, I won't cry for pain...He stood up and looked at Heechul who was ready to attack him again with a sword. I won't cry for fear... He stood straight, with all of his courage left and dodged Heechul's sword with his hands, as it bled cuts down to his arms.
Heechul's eyes widened. "So you're actually fighting back huh?" He smirked as he kept on pushing harder to go through Sungmin's hand with his sword.
I'll cry for love... Sungmin yelled and kicked Heechul on the stomach. He's turning to someone violent which he hated himself. "I understand what you're going through now hyung....but I don't understand...if you're still my friend." He said continuously.
"No, I'm not your friend anymore." Heechul went back on his feet and ran to Sungmin, attacking every chance he get with his sword with Sungmin dodging and avoiding it every time. If you can notice, Heechul has a bit more chance to win with Sungmin violently hurted now. Already wounded and bruised.
But despite all those sharps cutting in Sungmin's delicate skin, tearing his wounds to an even bigger one, he managed to stay up on his feet and fight Heechul. Having his bones slightly broke, his body tortured and bloods everywhere didn't stop him to stand up once again. They never thought, someone with weak magic can be this strong. But when he thought he had owned Heechul already, he's back once again on the bottom with his life hanging on the tip of Heechul's sword while pinned on the wall. "Goodbye." Heechul says, clutching Sungmin's neck.
He blamed himself for hesitating when he saw Heechul in too much pain because of him. He closed his eyes and his tears fell. Heechul moved a bit and he guessed, anytime now, his neck will be slashed with his sword. He's gonna fail. "Ah!" A cling interrupted his thoughts and heard Heechul's sword falling to the ground. He opened his eyes immediately and saw Heechul with no sword but still not letting go of him. His eyes became darker as he whispered. "Siwon."
Sungmin gasped as he turned and saw Siwon. "Siwon shii!" He yelled. Siwon was looking good with a bow as he stands in a rock. His bow was targetted to Heechul, where Heechul looked slightly shocked. Then it came to his mind. Aren't they friends...? He turned back to Heechul and saw how sad his face was. How hurt it was. This is too much for him already. He doesn't deserve this.
"Let go of him." Siwon said. Heechul gulped.
"Siwon no!" Sungmin yelled trying to stop Siwon in fighting his own friend.
"You're also...betraying me...? And its because of him?" Heechul asks, his tears slowly falling. Sungmin saw how this was so unfair to Heechul, he doesn't know how he could've been the victim of all this. "Why...?" He clenched his teeth as he tries to restrain himself from bursting out crying.
"Heechul, let go of him." Siwon said again, ignoring all of Heechul's words. It was harsh, Sungmin thought.
Heechul trembled and slowly pulled back his hand from Sungmin's neck. He bowed his head and slowly flew away from Sungmin. He seemed so lifeless and hurt, Sungmin can only watch him. "This is so unfair..." Heechul whispered which interrupted Sungmin from leaving. "This...is unfair..." He sobbed harshly. He covered his face with his hands as he lets his tears fall to the ground. He looked so helpless floating high and crying.
Eunhyuk called Sungmin from below. Sungmin flew down immediately while Heechul was crying. Siwon was looking at him, it looked like he was more hurt than Heechull. He didn't know what to do, he dragged Siwon unto this and now Siwon has to mercilessly fight his own friend. He's hurting everyone. He felt like backing out but he can't just.
Eunhyuk pulled him and whispered. "This is our chance let's go." Eunhyuk was also trembling and avoiding looking at Heechul. Knowing Eunhyuk, this is too much to handle. He felt sorry for Eunhyuk when he had to carry the burden of helping Sungmin. They ran silently and slowly to avoid catching Heechul's attention. This seems so wrong...
But Heechul stopped crying and removed his hands from his face. He smirked as he cursed everyone around him. "Tch." Sugmin heard him and stopped. When he turned around back, the only thing he saw was Heechul flying furiously to him with his sword back pointed at him. His tears were still flowing and his eyes looked much more hurt. Sungmin didn't know what to do.
But what shocked him was Siwon blocking Heechul's way and stabbing him with the bow. "Ack...!" Heechul's eyes widened as clearly as shocked as Eunhyuk and Sungmin. Siwon stabbed him, his friend. "Si...Siwon...?" Heechul's tears flowed non stop as long as how hurt he was knowing his friend stabbed him.
Siwon stroke Heechul's hair and rested his head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Heechul..." He apologized as he cried with him. Slowly carrying down a Heechul breathing hard, looking at him painfully with a bow buried on his stomach.
I killed him... Sungmin thought. No... He gasped and ran back. "Heechul!" Eunhyuk managed to grab his hand and pull him back. "Let me go Eunhyuk!"
"We have no time!" He yelled. "There's nothing we can do..." He cried. "Come on." He pushed himself to pull Sungmin to run away. The last thing Sungmin saw was Siwon sobbing painfully to Heechul laid on his lap and his Sorry. He's guilty. This is already too much. Why must other people suffer from my mistake? It just seemed unreasonable... He thought.
----------------------
"Sungmin doesn't care for you and let us take you instead to pay for your mistakes." That was the last sentence he heard and the first one he remembered after regaining consciouness. He opened his eyes slowly, weak from getting knocked out. His body felt numb as he tried to move. Where is this place? He asks himself as he managed to fully open his eyes. It was too bright he can't see clearly. It was also cold and freezing. He looked around and noticed, this is outside. At a roof maybe?
He saw unfamiliar creatures. It wasn't long until he realized this isn't his world. This is some place he has never been to, some dimension far form his imagination. Gold buildings, shinry surroundings, sparkly and glittery. Its something his eyes have never seen before. It has...a Sungmin feel to it. It them came to his mind. "Genie?" He said and hoped those creatured didn't hear him. Do they look originally like this? Souls and pale...? He couldn't believe it.
But when he first saw Sungmin in his Genie outfit, he looked nothing like these creatures flying around him. Then, they're not Genies. He peeked to what were the creatures doing in front of him, only a bit far. Something like...for a ritual? He thought. When he realized his hands are tied up on the wall, he snorted. "Rope? Gosh." He mocked. He quickly did several actions that made the rope loose enough for his hands to fit out. "I'm not smart for nothing." He said to himself.
When he managed to run off, the creatures yelled and pointed at him. "He's getting away!" One yelled. They can talk?!
He ran anywhere he could and looked for a door way out. He's human and they're far by mortal themselves so of course they would catch up. He felt a force behind him hitting his body and falling on the ground. "Ah!" He reacted. Not knowing what it was, he turned around to see. Yet what he saw were those creatures flying to him, looking mad. They produced some kind of wind from their palms and threw it to Kyuhyun which caused him to get blown away, hitting anything the came across.
Kyuhyun felt cuts and wounds from his body. He saw himself around knives and spheres which he got hit at. He stood up and saw a knife buried in his arm, deeply. Fuck. Blood were flowing non stop and he felt weak. He held the knife and pulled it off harshly. "AH!" He reacted due to the pain of a sharp metal inside his skin. It hurts like hell, especially when its your first time experiencing it. He was so confused, not having a single clue why all of this is happening.
"Why am I here?" He dared to ask. He being so blatant, stubborn and arrogent helped him ask such question.
One of the creatures grinned. "You're here to die."
Kyuhyun's eyes widened. Die? Die?! He gasped as the creatures moved closer. "Die? What do you mean die? What did I do?" He asked again, one question after another, clenching tightly his wound on his arm. He stared at them, hoping he will be enlightened. Throught their actions, he's slowly regaining informations from his head. They act like... He gasped. "Sungmin...where's Sungmin?"
"So you still remember your precious Genie who betrayed you?" One Genie appeared. He could recognize he's a Genie, he was different from those around him and he dressed like Sungmin.
"What? Betrayed? What do you mean? and...who are you?" Kyuhyun asked impatiently.
He smirked. "I'm Kibum." He said. Kyuhyun looked at him and noticed some things. He looked the same age as him and Ryeowook. He doesn't dress that well and he's wearing a familiar necklace. A really familiar necklace. Is that...Eunhyuk's necklace? He asked as he thought deeper. He remembered that necklace before. He saw Eunhyuk wear one, which Donghae gave him. Donghae...
------------------------
"Donghae!" Yesung yelled as he tried to snap Donghae who was staring blankly outside.
"Huh?" He turned around. "Yeah?" He felt something weird.
"I was asking where's Kyuhyun and Sungmin."
"Oh." Donghae paused. "Umm...they're at their house. They said Kyuhyun had an important...homework so Sungmin's helping him." He smiled stupidly.
"And Eunhyuk?"
Donghae paused and looked at Yesung cluelessly. "Who?"
"Eunhyuk, your best friend. Don't kid with me Hae."
Donghae still was clueless. "What're you talking about? Who's Eunhyuk?"
Yesung glared. "Aish, nevermind. You're not getting serious so there's no point in asking."
Donghae smiled hesitantly. Who's Eunhyuk...?
-------------------------
Eunhyuk stopped while he and Sungmin was running. Sungmin turned around and saw Eunhyuk standing and staring blankly. "Eunhyuk?" He called and shook Eunhyuk. "Hey!"
Eunhyuk snapped. "Huh?"
"Is something wrong?" Sungmin asked.
Eunhyuk shook his head. "N-No..." He smiled hesitatingly. No, something is wrong. He touched his collar bones looking for that thing which used to be around his neck. His necklace. He regretted giving it up but there's no time for regretion now.
"Eunhyuk." Sungmin nudged him. When he turned, Sungmin was staring at something in front of them.
Eunhyuk followed his gaze and looked. What he saw, was a Qarin waiting for them. No, its more like stopping them. She was a lady Qarin, mystic, wicked but lovely. Her long hair seemed to be her weak point, Eunhyuk assumed. "Sungmin, when I count to three, run to the door. I'll keep her busy." He whispered.
"What?!" Sungmin exclaimed. "You can't do that! I promised Donghae--"
"You promised him what?"
Sungmin gulped.
He sighed. "Alright, I'll do it. In one condition."
"What?" Sungmin and Eunhyuk asked.
Donghae gestured for Sungmin to come closer and then whispered. "Make sure Hyukkie's safe, please." Sungmin paused after Donghae finished then nodded.
Sungmin remembered earlier about their deal, about Donghae's condition. "I-I promised him...that you'll be safe."
Eunhyuk rolled his eyes and teared up. "That was it...earlier?" Sungmin nodded. Eunhyuk couldn't believe it. He closed his eyes and looked up to stop tears from falling.
"He cares for you, Eunhyuk." Sungmin said.
Eunhyuk wiped his tears and sighed. "You know what? Its fine. Its completely fine. Sungmin, if you want to save Kyuhyun, do what I say."
"But Eunhyuk--"
"I'll be fine." Eunhyuk smiled. "I have a reason to live."
Sungmin was convinced. Now, Eunhyuk feels the same as him. Now, they understand each other. "I'll be back for you." He swore.
"1, 2...3!" Eunhyuk yelled and watched as Sungmin ran to the Qarin. The Qarin looked at Sungmin and attempted to approach him but Eunhyuk managed to pull her hair. "Your enemy's here bitch." He said. The Qarin became furious of her hair being pulled and turned his attention to Eunhyuk which created a way for Sungmin to get to the other side, behind the Qarin and run further.
Damn Hae...you're the reason why I'm doing this. Eunhyuk thought and smiled, getting ready for whatever attack the Qarin gives him. He dodged the Qarins blow of strong wind with his arms crossed in front of his face, creating a force field. There's no doubt his magic got weaker. Why did Sungmin had to inform Eunhyuk about Donghae?
Eunhyuk wasn't sure how is he gonna live after this. He's back in his world and he's inlove, causing his magic to drain. Whether he'll die after this or he'll lose his magic midway and slowly die. This is too much, add the Qarin's merciless punches, kicks and hits. Her attacks are non stop and even if Eunhyuk had a chance to dodge, his magic is failing him.
Receiving series of pains and hurts, he pushed his heart to keep strong. If only, Donghae can hear him. He's been trying to talk to him but he just won't reply. Its no because of his magic, he's his Genie so they don't need magic to communicate. It felt like, Donghae pushed him aside this time. Despite his body being weak with cuts and bruises, he lift his hand and reached for his collar bone. He's feeling a lot more regretful he lost his necklace. No, he didn't lose it, he gave it up. He was so stupid.
I'm sorry....Donghae... His last thoughts after seeing the Qarin slowly coming up to him.
-------------------------------
Sungmin felt a lot more courageous now that he's alone. He walked to one direction, straight. He tried to sum up his thoughts and avoid regrets inside his heart. His situation came to an end when he saw a door, another familiar door. The same doors as before which led them here. Which led to Siwon and Heechul fighting, which led to Eunhyuk sacrificing and he wonders what he'll end up to. Without hesitation, he opened the door and felt a cold breeze. A cold breeze, a cold atmosphere and a cold body of a person important to him. The reason why he came here.
His eyes widened in despair. "K...Kyuhyun!!!" He quickly ran towards a body lying on the floor, wounded, blooded, tortured, he can't think anymore. When he reached him, his eyes were closed and he wasn't moving. "Kyuhyun! Kyuhyun!" He shook him.
Kyuhyun moved a bit and Sungmin felt relieved. He coughed blood and opened his eyes to a person with a familiar warmth around his body. "Sungmin?"
Sungmin smiled and hugged Kyuhyun. "Oh My God...what have they done to you?" His tears fell as he look at every part of Kyuhyun's body. This is too much, it needs to end.
"Nice to see you again, Sungmin." Sungmin hated greetings like these. Especially when its someone he knew. He turned around and saw who he expected it to be when he identified the voice.
The merchant... "Kibum..." He still couldn't believe it. Everything is just agains't him. His hopes fell apart. Did he, planned all this? He saw Eunhyuk's necklace around his neck and went mad. "That necklace...why are you wearing that?!"
"Oh this? This is mine now." Kibum smiled.
"That's not yours! Give it back!!" He yelled angrily.
"What's the point? I already erased all of the memories of the person inside this necklace."
Sungmin thought deeply. He erased...Donghae's memory? Was that what he meant? Then...Eunhyuk-- He got cut when he looked back at the door and saw the Qarin walking in, not a single wound. His eyes widened. He cried on the thought of how Eunhyuk failed, on what could've happened to him out there and he wasn't there to help.
Kyuhyun touched his cheek and wiped his tears. "Why are you crying? Bunny?" He asks with the same sweetness and warmth, looking pitifully but smiling.
Sungmin turned to him and pitied. "Nothing...I'm gonna get you out of here." He smiled painfully at Kyuhyun and helped him stand up. He guided him to avoid falling back on the ground.
"And where do you think you're going?" Kibum asked.
Sungmin turned to him. "You're not really a merchant, aren't you?"
"No. I'm part Qarin and part Genie but I'd rather accept Qarin than Genie. I found out about you and your friends so I volunteered to take care of it. Thus, means killing Kyuhyun or...you." He said.
"Then why did you erase Donghae's memories?"
"You are smart to figure that out easily. I checked on the memories inside this necklace and it seemed like Eunhyuk is falling in love, so I did something about it. You should be happy."
"Why would I be happy? Aren't you friends?"
Kibum glared. "No, we're not friends anymore. Since, after my last mission. Wasn't he the one who told Leeteuk about that?"
Sungmin remembered. When Eunhyuk accidentally told Leeteuk about his love for a human, as far as he could remember, his name was Changmin. Kibum had to push Changmin to say his last wish before the Qarins take action. Then, after his mission, Changmin's memories with him had to be erased. This is different from Hankyung, he never used his wishes so his memories weren't erased at all. "He didn't mean to." Sungmin insisted.
"Yeah...right..." Kibum mocked. He smirked and blew a gust of stronger wind in between Kyuhyun and Sungmin which caused them to separate. Kyuhyun, being violently tortured fell on the ground painfully and made a crying pain. Sungmin managed to fly away and not fall down with his little magic. "You'll die soon Sungmin, so I'll kill him first." Kibum said, referring to Kyuhyun.
Sungmin immediately accelerated his sped, flying back down to Kyuhyun but was grabbed first by two Qarins. "What the--let me go!" He yelled while struggling hard to pull away. The two Qarins were holding his arms with a tight grip and seemed to have no intention to ever let go. He looked back at Kyuhyun worriedly and was shocked with what he saw. His heart sank.
Kyuhyun was so helpless and weak. Kibum clutched his hand to Kyuhyun's neck and lifted him up like he's just some kind of a light doll. He saw Kibum smirking. "Should I throw you out...or stab you now?" He asks.
Sungmin still kept on struggling. "Kibum! Just kill me if you want and not him!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, hoping Kibum would hear and change his mind. He pleaded inside his heart and prayed.
Kibum turned to him with an irritated face. "Didn't you hear me earlier? You'll die soon anyway so I'll kill him."
Sungmin watched as Kibum creates a large and pointed sphere. His hear beat fast as he imagines what would happen next. He regretted ever accepting this mission in the first place. What he thought to be another succesful mission turned out like this, ended up in a battle field. Ended up with his friends dying. His tears fell with his blue eyes showing. Now, another one is gonna die. But not just a friend, he's a special one. He bowed his head and sobbed. T
his is all my fault...I started all this...why? If only I managed to keep myself from falling in love...all of this wouldn't have happened. Eunhyuk and Donghae would be bickering each other by now, Hankyung would talk about Heechul again...Ryeowook and Yesung would be singing together...and...Kyuhyun and I would be eating together with Sen...Life is so unfair...but... Sungmin looked up and wiped his tears. All of those isn't impossible...everything's possible, I won't cry for pain, I won't cry for fear...I'll cry for love...and I'll do everything because I love my friends.
"Now, goodbye." Kibum whispered to Kyuhyun as he attempts to stab him with the sphere he has in hand. He gathered all his force at the hand holding the sphere and pointed it at Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun closed his eyes and waited. "See you soon." Kibum stabbed him with full force, continuously burrying the sphere deeper to the chest he could see. Kyuhyun couldn't feel anything, its weird.
Sungmin coughed harshly. Kyuhyun opened his eyes and saw a familiar body frame in front of him, taking the sphere instead of him. "Sungmin?!" Kyuhyun exclaimed. Sungmin looked at him, eyes not shining anymore, blood coming from his mouth, tears falling. Images that Kyuhyun can't even handle. "Sungmin...!"
"No way...why did he...?" Kibum was shocked himself. He pulled the sphere back quickly which caused a lot more pain to Sungmin. He fell on the ground and clenched his body, bleeding violently and mercilessly.
"Sungmin!" Kyuhyun approached him and let Sungmin's head rest on his lap. "Sungmin, listen to me. Breathe Breathe." He asks as he laid his hand on Sungmin's badly wounded chest. "Sungmin, breathe...don't give up please..." He teared up seeing Sungmin slowly giving up and feeling his heart beat getting slower. Kibum dropped the sphere.
"Kyuhyun...." Sungmin's voice trembled as he spoke. "Use your...last wish please..." He pleaded.
"Please don't talk anymore, Sungmin hang on." He looked around for some help but only found Kibum standing, watching them and Qarins who cares no less. "Dammit. Sungmin keep breathing..." His tears fell completely and uncontrolably. Sungmin hated that kind of feeling he feels from him. Despair, Frighten, Pain...
Sungmin held Kyuhyun's hand tightly. "Please....use your last wish..." He begged. Kyuhyun turned to him, crying and confused. "Please, until I can still...hear you..." He coughed more blood.
Kyuhyun didn't know what to do. Should he wish for Sungmin to be healed? If he did that, the situation's still gonna be the same. What is he gonna do now? He looked at Sungmin's eyes and thought deeply. He needs to hurry. "I wish..." He said, still finding the right words to say. "I wish..." He thought deeply once again. "I wish Sungmin was never a Genie!"
...was never a Genie!
...never a Genie!"
It echoed to Sungmin's mind as he uses every last drop of magic he had. He doesn't know if it'll work but he still tried. He wants to grant his last wish before he dies. It wasn't long until Kyuhyun couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything anymore. Everything was white. There was nothing in sight. The pain was gone. He closed his eyes and he felt the wind. Cold breeze brushing agains't his skin. He felt like he's falling from the sky but he's not. Sungmin? He called.
"Kyuhyun!"
He heard a familiar voice. Another familiar voice.
"Kyuhyun!"
I opened my eyes. "Kyuhyun-shii?" A voice woke me up from my...sleep.
I looked around immediately. I'm in a rooftop...of my school. I hear the birds chirping, some voices of people. I'm back. I turned beside me and saw someone I used to long for. "Ryeowoook!" I yelled and hugged him immediately. "You're alright!"
Ryeowook looked confused. "Huh? Of course I'm alright, why wouldn't I be?" He asks. I let go of him immediately. Something's wrong. "Kyuhyun shii,classes will start soon."
"Uhh...yeah." I replied hesitantly and slightly confused. What is this? Deja Vu?
"Kyuhyun shii, I'll go ahead." He stood up. I grabbed his hand and he looked back.
"Ryeowook."
"Yeah? Do you want to come with me?" He asks, putting an innocent smile on his face. I let go of his hands, grabbed my things and walked beside him.
Was it a dream?
