[M] The Awakening (1/1)

RATED M FOR SWEARING.. which there aint alot of tbhMuffled voices woke Chaerin up from her passed out state. Her vision still blurry, but she forced her eyes to open nonetheless. Her vision slowly became more clear as she was able to keep her eyes open. Chaerin was lying on the couch in her own apartment. She felt her ear to test if her virtual piece was attached; if the earpiece was there, it meant she was still hooked up to the machine in the real world. The earpiece was there, so it meant she was still in Virtual Paradise. Before she could even question how or when she got here, she heard faint giggling in one of the rooms. It must’ve been Harin, seeing as they both share a house, however it sounded as though there was more than one voice. “Harin?” Chaerin called out, pressing her hand on her head to stop the aching feel. She could hear shushing from the room. Harin ran out and quickly halted by the doorway, leaning her hands on the wall. “Oh. You're awake, cool” “Harin... How did I get here? What happened?” Harin smiled and came into the room, sitting on the chair arm. “You passed out. Everyone was huddled around you which kinda got my attention. I didn't realise it'd be you, though. We took you back here.” Chaerin could still feel the throbbing pain from when she fell on the ground. “Did.. Anything else happen other than me fainting?” “Um.. There was a lag spike, but nothing else” Lag spike.. That's not what she remembered. She remembered being frozen, no doubt, but it lasted a lot longer, with clear voices and movement. For a hacker such as herself, she would've known when it was a lag spike, and it definitely was not a lag spike. She was about to ask another question, but quickly realised something. “Wait.. You said ‘we’ before, right? Who’s w-” “Harin, you in here?” An unfamiliar voice came from the room Harin was in before. Chaerin looked to the doorway and noticed a tall figure leaning his hand on the frame. His hair was perfect and wavy, his jawline and cheekbones perfectly refined. He looked very young, but so perfect. Not one part of him was wrong. He looked like a model, she felt as though she had seen him before. “Oh hey, you're awake” Chaerin looked straight back at Harin, who attempted to show nothing but an innocent smile. Who the hell was this guy? She shook her head slightly in Harin’s direction before looking back at the man with a small nod “Mhm, Im awake. And you are..?” The male stranger stayed silent and showed a small grin. He never answered her question, which was a little strange. “I'm gonna see myself out. See y’around, Harin.” Harin gave a small nod and a smile as he walked out of their apartment. She looked to Chaerin, who was looking at her with both confusion and slight disappointment. Her sister decided to end the small silence and the staring contest between them. “He noticed you fainted while we were dancing, and we both helped you up here.” “Harin.. Who was he.” Harin stayed silent, but she knew she couldn't fight her sister’s glare. “..He never told me.” Chaerin gave out a disgusted scoff at her sister’s reply. What a dumb thing to do, take a complete stranger home with your half-gone older sister. “Look, he’s a real nice guy. I’ve got his number and everything” “That doesn’t make him prince charming, Harin. He could've been some someone  not suppose to be with. I told you about virtual safety, didn’t I?” “Well.. There was definite safety..” As soon as it came to her what Harin was talking about, she was even more disgusted than she was originally. Never again was she taking her to a nightclub. Like before, Harin decided to break the silence. “I'm gonna go make a drink. Want one?” “..Sure, just water, my head is still hurting” As Harin left, Chaerin kept her hand on her forehead. Small flashes of last night kept going in her mind. The sound of snapped fingers, the polished shoes.. That man. She brushed her cheek as she could still feel the kiss, why did he do it? Would she ever see that smile, that wink again? What was she thinking, he was an asshole. She remember the vanishing of that guy, the one the ‘leader’ spoke down to. Then she recalled the talk after the kiss, she wasn't allowed to say anything.. Didn’t he say something about her sister? How did he know about her? Chaerin could hear the conversation he overheard last night echoing through her mind She looks like a troublemaker, can't be too careful She looked up and saw her sister walk back into the room. A pretty face can only go a short way, yknow? “Harin.. That man.. Did he say anything about himself?” She could hear the conversation with the panicked stranger that sat next to her at the bar. Seungri. They're here.. Harin sat down on the couch arm, getting comfy as she replied. “Um.. Some business thing” And they're gonna kill me Chaerin shook her head to remove the thoughts and voices in her mind. She needed to distract herself from the many worries. “Can we go in the city today?” Harin looked at her with slight confusion as to the change in subject. “Sure, I guess” Chaerin moved off the couch and walked into her room to change clothes. The virtual world allowed clothing changes to be different, as it was just a hologram window on a wall with a selection of outfits to wear. Buying clothes, however, was to be done by going into the city. She chose her clothes, hairstyle, and accessories before walking out and going near the door. “Alright. I'm ready.” Harin got up from the chair arm and placed her cup on the floor. She was still questioning why Chaerin seemed so on edge. Regardless, she went with it and opened the door, her head lowered to the ground. Her eyes glanced forward slightly and something there made her immediately stop. Two tall figures stood right outside their apartment, right outside their door. They were waiting for them. Both Harin and Chaerin quickly scanned up the two dark strangers stood formally infront of them as though they were bodyguards, their appearence's hidden away with a mask. Before they could even open their mouths to question them, the black-suited strangers placed a small remote in front of them that lagged out the sister's system, blacking their sight out completely. All they could see was black, the company’s logo spinning slowly in the middle with the words 'B.A.P' under it. Harin never recognised the figures, but something about them looked familiar to Chaerin. Then she remembered… The logo-headed people at the bar.The one's who took Seungri with the Leader. The one's that, in Seungri's mind, was going to kill him, that surrounded him and found him and.. Took him away. That must mean.. They were being taken away. But.. Was it for the same reason?  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DUN. DUN.
