chapter 12

" now kids don't try breaking anything- "       " shit! a shark! "      donghyuck scuddled away afraid and bumped a pedestal making a couple of books fall on the floor

" this is amazing! "      they gasped adoring the view of the ocean as they crawled on the floor     " it's like we're stepping on water! "         " will the glass break? i can't swim "       " i don't want to be fish food either "

minseok laughed like he found it as a joke    " glass? the floor is literally the ocean, don't worry you won't fall, think of it as a normal floor "

" i can't think of it as a normal floor when that shark ia definitely planning to eat me for lunch "      donghyuck gulped as the shark below slowly swam and circled around him under. minseok snapped his fingers and the shark rapidly swam away

" phew, thank you "      " you're welcome, now you all are here, what is it you plan? "      renjun stood up and cleared his throat

" xiumin hyung, if it isn't a huge deal to ask, we were hoping you could help us "        " hm? "      minseok asked him as if he didn't understand what he's saying

" this thing we have going on with the worlds- "       " i have nothing to do with anything going on with the three worlds. i've been living in ephemeral for a long time, the last time i've helped it all failed. i don't know how i can help you. i should live how i'm supposed to be, i don't care if dreams nor reality is falling apart, i'm apart from all worlds "       minseok told renjun sadly

" but hyung, we really don't know what to do and we need help, we came a long way mindless of how we'll face this. much more with the real problem, we really need your guidance even just a little would
help "       mark pleaded the older and he saw how much eagerness the boy's eyes held

he really did want to help them in anyway he can but he must forget what was the past. he have created a mistake before and as a punishment, he lost the only family he'd ever known. he doesn't want to make the same mistake again and he surely don't want the seven young boys in front of him now to experience the same pain they all have been in

" you have a chance to turn your back and live normally. away from scars, away from pain. i'm giving all of you that chance now "      he told them serious and they looked at each other

" life and death, dreams, reality, nightmares. you can forget all of this ever happened, live in peace in your worlds and save yourselves from tragic memories and forgotten death. now choose "     minseok's eyes flashed a sapphire blue, uncertain emotions clung up to him and it made him feel restless.

he was trying to persuade them, make them turn back, trying to save them before it's too late. he can see all of them has a life they want to live out. he wanted them to be free and away from harm.

the seven boys thought of it and they knew they really wanted to go back, even with the courage they showed up with, they were beyond afraid and lost of hope. they were just normal teenagers after all. young and foolish. they can't face this challenge set up for them. and they had other things they wanted to live for

" i won't turn back, i'm staying and i will fight "     mark stepped up and walked towards minseok

" sure i have a life and a future in reality, sure i am afraid, sure i'm too young, sure i'm a fool. but i stand up for what's right and my conscience can't handle other people getting hurt. if this is the only was things will get better, i can and i will sacrifice anything for my friends and anyone else. i've gotten this far, i'm slowly finding myself, i don't want to go back and live like a coward "       mark spoke up
