Ep.2: Girl In Red

~

12pm

It was after my dance workshop, I packed to leave that's when I saw a girl. She was t the drink vendor, she didn't look like a member at the studio, I was shocked when she suddenly looked at me, a flash of memories flooding my mind. "Hi Wooyoung," I came to when she called me, I was both shocked and confused of how she new my name.

I had a clue though, the girl in the red dress, who everyone of our group talked about. I have finally met her, and why now? I was in a trance, "How are you?" She asked softly, smiling the whole time. I was mesmerised by her beauty. "I'm- Who are you?" I responded, asking her in return. "I wish I could tell you." She replied sadly, her eyes drooped, staring at the ground, then looked up again before turning around and walked away.

"WAIT!" I shouted as I ran after her, I just had a feeling I should. She was already at the stair, I ran towards her, she stopped immediately, she turned and looked at me, she smiled, turned her back towards me and walked down the steps. "Wait please!" I repeated, running down, in that moment, she tripped, I ran towards her as fast as I could and caught her hand, but it was a wrong timing that and made us both fall to the ground.

I grunt as I felt a sprain on my ankle, as I looked up she was gone...

I didn't know how, but she was gone, disappeared." Wooyoung informed. All of us looked at each other amazed by the story. "I met her last week..." Yeosang mumbled, we flung our heads towards him, "I was in the park, she appeared out of nowhere and said the same thing, she called my name then left when I asked her name." He explained, "Is it me or... she's trying to notify us something? it could be important, or urgent?" Mingi wondered, "I'm not sure, but she appeared in front all of us except HongJoong." Seonghwa spoke. Apart of me wanted to keep quiet but, "No, she did." I sighed.

They glance at me wide eyes, "It's funny, she didn't say more than cried her eyes out when she did." I said, "That's different than any of us have met her. Maybe something happened, do you think it's a psychological thing? or just a memory that we don't remember? Amnesia?" San wondered, "No, amnesia is losing your member, but know, it's there. Maybe-", "the past," Yeosang interrupted Yunho.

We looked at him, "I've read about it somewhere, when one passed away, they'll either reborn into another person's body or your own, but your memories of your past will forever be erased, them deja vu that we experienced is the memories of our past." He explained, "but what I don't get is, we remember differently, our "past" is somewhere off Korea tradition, more like European. We all remember the same person, the same event. She came to us is not by our past but what I'm thinking is  is that she's here by chance, she seems to remember everything, something must've happened in our past that she came to make us remember." He continued.

We looked at one another, very conscious and shocked by his theory, "Does that mean, there's a rule of this remembrance of the past that she cannot mention her name or what so ever?" Seonghwa asked, I was zoned out, "I'm not sure, but it must start with HongJoong-hyung," Yeosang looked at me, I glanced around the room, everyone stared at me, what? "What do you mean?" I questioned, "Hyung, think about, she came to you last, all she did was said our name, but with you she asked you questions, she cried miserably, begging you to remember her. I'm not sure, actually I am sure that she is telling you, and only you to know her, maybe if you remember we all do." Yeosang explained.

"No, that's not- it's not possible, I don't get why... we have to figure out this, it's what we ALL going through, lets go to the therapist or something." I suggested, not believing in anything that's happening right now. "Hyung, you're the only one who dreams about it. We don't get dreams at all." He mentions, I sighed deeply, " This is unbelievable." I snickered, and stood up, the others had their eyes on me the whole time, hoping for something. "Where are you going?" Mingi asked, "Home," I said as I twisted the door knob and left, before I could here Mingi shout for me to stop.

I walked silently along the side road as I thought of the conversation that we had. I just don't get it, how can anything possible? our past self? incarnation?, I didn't realise I was quietly snicking to myself. I looked where I was going, and came to the place where I met her before. I stopped, with my hands in my pockets, I stood there patiently waiting? thinking, replaying the scene in my head, her face, her smile and how she smiled every time she spoke my name but then again in her eyes, she was hurting, desperate for something to happen,

" Its a chance that you're the only one can make us remember"

I thought about it,

I walked home,

"She only talked and cried for you to remember,"

"only you"

"you"

Yeosang's words repeatedly played in my head,

"just don't lose this," she pointed at my forehead,

"most importantly, don't lose your heart."

I opened the front door and entered my apartment, where I sat on the couch and thought more about, processing it in my head, 'what do you want me to remember?' 'why is it so important huh?'.

"My name... remember it please" - I heard a soft voice, surrounding me, echoing through every corner of the house,

"It's the only way we can escape this nightmare." - it spoke,

"What do you mean?" without realising, I asked,

"they will come and haunt us again,"

I was lost, confused, I had a bad feeling about this.

"Save me,"
