Nocturnal Creature Jun Myeon 21
NCJM21 "Captured & Caged" [For future reference: Present Day chapters in Regular type; Past/Memory chapters in BOLD ITALIC Note: Gonna post two stories instead of one every Thursday. Aria woke up with a headache that quickly disappeared after a couple minutes but her ears were ringing like crazy. As she stood up, her feet began to burn. She looked down and saw that she was standing on floor made of silver. She leapt up trying to get off the floor when she banged her head and crashed back down. She hopped around like a rat on a hot plate. The cage sat in the middle of a partially dark room. She was surrounded by bars made of silver. She quickly pulled her arms sleeves down as far as she could over her hands and leapt up and caught hold of the bars crossing over head. She could see the walls of the room in the dim light. Then she quieted and became still, she knew she could hang like that forever if she had to. Then she heard someone breathing. Labored and struggling breathes. She wanted to turn around but she would have to let go of the bars to do that, her shirt wouldn't allow it. “Who's there?” “It's just me.” Jun Myeon said breathlessly. She listened to him breathing, “what's wrong, why you breathing like that?” “Thanks for the concern.” Jun Myeon said, his words coming out like he was gritting his teeth, “don't worry about it.” They said nothing to one another. Aria listened to Jun Myeon struggling with something, she even heard him wince in pain a bit. Finally she got tired of listening to him. She took a deep breath and jumped down. Her feet began to burn immediately. Turned around and pulled her sleeves down again and jumped up to grab the bars. She peeked through the bars in front of her. In the distance, she could see Jun Myeon sitting in the dark with something shiny wrapped around his neck, wrists, and ankles. Silver chains, she thought. “Oh… So that's why your breathing like that.” She said. “Yeah. well. I'm pretty sure if it didn't hurt so much, I wouldn't be breathing that way. Sorry if it bothers you.” He said sarcastically. Aria looked down at her dangling feet. “Sorry, Didn't mean to sound that off to you. Can I ask you something?” He asked. Aria didn't lift her head, she kept her eyes down. Looking at him now, in pain like that, would make her do something she probably shouldn't. “Yes. You can ask me something.” He breathed in deep, “If things hadn't turned out the way it did… Would you have done what I last asked you, back then?” She closed her eyes and tilted her head back, and then stared up at the ceiling. The words he said to her that night, ringing her ears like he had just said them. She knew what he was talking about, “Yes, I would have.” “Would you still now, I mean if we weren't like this…” he winced when the silver cut into him again but he tried not to show it. She looked up at him, “Are you asking?” Jun Myeon tried to sit up straight. The silver chains dug in deeper but he didn't care, he wanted to hear her answer. “I'm asking.” He said holding back the pain. “Yes. I would.” She laughed, red tears starting to trickle down her cheeks, “This is going to sound like cheese, but…. Even if I had lost eternal life, I wouldn't mind because you had become my eternity.” Out of the dark corners of the room, there came a roll of clapping and giggling. “Awe, How sweet! Makes me feel all warm fuzzy inside." Baekhyun teased.
