SPECIAL CHAPTER 4: The Queen's dream
Where are you?
I ran searching for the other half of my heart as I pushed rocks and large tree branches. I don’t even know why I was there or how I ended there, I just have this feeling that I need to find my husband and find him really fast…
I’m starting to get scared… where could he be?
I made a sharp turn at a corner and came face to face with a large wooden door with golden handles… my chest tightened and this weird feeling had gotten relatively stronger… should I open it?
I looked down and gathered the courage to move forward… I need to find my Jinki…
I shakily held one of the handles and slowly turned…
The door opened and it was bare except for a large white bed in the center…
I walked closer… and closer… my heart beating loudly in my ears… t-there’s someone on the bed…
I felt my knees go weak and held on to the bed for support…
My beloved husband… my heart… my everything… lying lifeless on that bed…
No! I will not accept this! Not my Jinki!
I felt the tears slowly stream down my face and I grabbed his now cold hand…
How could this happen? Who did this to you?
There were many questions I want to ask… so many things I want to say but at that moment I felt that my voice disappeared…
Open your eyes for me please…. Hold my hand and tell me again how much you love me…
Tell me this is just one of your jokes and that your twin forced you to do it… I won’t be angry…
Just… open your eyes…
“Amby?”
“Ngh… No… Wake up please… don’t…”
“Amby! Wake up!”
Queen Amber sat back up causing the being that woke her jumping backwards, “Woah… are you okay?”
“Y-yuki?”
The Axiem queen smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, “Yeah… the one and only… I was about to invite you for a tea break cause I can’t sleep and then I saw you asleep and I decided to go out but you thrashed and shouted my twin’s name… had a bad dream?”
Amber nodded, “I dreamt… that Jinki… he…”
“hm?”
Tears fell down the Equion queen’s eyes and Yuki’s smiled disappeared, “what is it Amby?”
“I saw Jinki dead… I tried to call him but he won’t open his eyes… I’m scared…”
Yuki moved closer to hug the distressed queen, “do you know that dreams are the opposite of reality? I’m sure my twin is all right and is either sleeping or eating chicken right now with my husband.”
“I know but I’m just worried…”
“Why don’t you call him then? He will surely answer.”
Amber shook her head and smiled weakly, “this is a rare opportunity for the boys to gather… I don’t want to disturb their night out.”
Yuki sighed and squeezed her friend’s shoulder lightly, “fine… Amby, you do believe in me right?”
“Yes…”
The Axiem queen grinned and Amby felt new tears threatening to fall from her eyes, “aish… how can the two of you look terribly alike when you smile.”
Yuki rolled her eyes, “we’re twins… anyway, I’ll get you ice cream instead. That would calm you down.”
“But we just told the kids not to eat them…”
“Exactly! That means more ice cream for the grownups!”
Queen Amber finally chuckled and slowly moved to get off her bed, “all right you got me… let’s eat that ice cream.”
“I knew I can persuade you!”
The Axiem queen followed behind the Equion queen and whispered to herself, “I guess this isn’t the time to tell her that twinnie tripped over a root and now sports a large bump on the forehead…”
“Hey Yuki! Come on! JiWon and AJ might wake up!”
“Ya… I’m not the one shouting… and that’s going to MinHo and Youhei’s room… the kitchen is this way! Are you still asleep?”
Amber laughed and turned around to stand beside her friend, “your husband’s snarkiness is rubbing off you.”
“I know…”
OTHER SIDE OF SAIREL
"Achoo!!"
King Changmin threw a pillow over to his camp-mate and glared, "the hell! don't give me viruses Onew!"
"I think they're talking about me... probably Yuki misses me."
"oh come on... surely my wife would miss me more than she would miss you."
*sigh*
