Flames that would burn eternally, he lit the match and stared at it longingly.
Darkness is a lonely thing. Indeed, indeed.
"Breaking News: A worldwide phenomenon has occurred. In every continent, a mass amount of people have suddenly disappeared. Some of the victims include the famous professor John Jun Suh also known as Johnny Seo, Chemist Moon Taeil, Pop Star Choi Ye-Rim, and Lee Dong-Hyuck, beloved partner of the famous chemist Lee Minhyung.

Smile for the camera. Click! Click! Cheese! Burn the match! Red! Red!
An emptiness filled him as he was caught by the hands of Mother Death and thrown down onto the dirt. A man cried beside him, notes of self harm in the way he moved and adjusted himself. This place wasn’t familiar. Quite scary, but intriguing.
“If this is what home looks like I don’t want to be here” He heard the crying man say. What could it mean, what could it mean...
On his left side, Taeil and Johnny sat bug-eyed, muttering amongst themselves. On his right side, a Mark, along with Jungwoo and Yukei. They all remained silent.
Haechan’s hands burned, charring and blistering. A dark red spot arouse from Johnny’s back and stained his clothing. Jungwoo pinched the bridge of his nose and tried his best not to sob. Yukhei was dazed out, not a single thought in his mind from the look of it. Taeil sat in silence, mouth hung open in utter shock. And, the unfamiliar Mark, who had since stopped crying, wiped his tears away and stood up.
“Now I have to find that dirty bastard and ask him what happened,” Mark spoke through a clenched jaw, scanning his surroundings and rolling up his sleeves. Deep, clean cuts dripped with blood from his arms. He looked pissed.
Johnny was the next to stand up, his tall stance spooking Mark. The professor was 7’2”, after all. He stretched, a sharp look in his eyes.
“Which bastard are we finding?” He smiled. “I have no fucking clue where we are.”
“Fairyland. It sounds like horseshit, I know, but I’ve been here before.” Taeil was the third to stand, a confident look beaming bright. “And I assure you, John, we just solved the multiverse theory.”
