💔Presious Memories💔

🩸 EPISODE 4 — "The Dream That Eats"
Minji didn’t remember falling asleep.
She only remembered the cold.
And the chains whispering her name.

She opened her eyes.

The castle was gone.
She was standing in the middle of a graveyard.

Tombstones stretched forever in every direction — broken, black, crooked.
The earth was cracked open like a bleeding wound.
And above it all hung the moon, massive and bleeding rivers of blood across the sky.

Minji’s hands shook.
The air smelled of iron, smoke, and something worse —
burned flesh.

She turned, and that's when she saw them.
Rows and rows of women, tied to stakes, their bodies burnt black, their mouths open in silent screams.
Some still moved.
Some still cried.

A voice echoed across the graveyard:

"They loved him."

Another voice:

"They tried to save him."

Another:

"And he destroyed them."

Minji stumbled back — but the ground grabbed her ankles.
Hands — small, broken hands reaching from the dirt — clawed at her legs, dragging her down.
Their nails dug into her skin, pulling, pulling, pulling—

And then he appeared.
Prince Yoongi.

Except this time, he wasn't human at all.

His eyes glowed black.
Wings — massive, broken, skeletal — tore from his back, dripping blood.
His mouth twisted into a cruel, mocking smile.

He knelt beside her, brushing a cold thumb across her trembling lips.

"You see now, little lamb," he murmured.
"This castle isn't cursed because of me..."
"It's cursed because of all the love I destroyed."

Behind him, the burned women began to move.
Their charred heads turning.
Their arms reaching for Minji.

Minji screamed — a raw, ugly sound.

"You're next," one of them hissed, voice like breaking glass.
"He'll burn you too."

Yoongi smiled wider, revealing sharp, bloodstained teeth.

"And you'll thank me for it."

She ran.

Through fields of the dead.
Through rivers of blood.
Through forests of bones.

No matter where she ran, Yoongi was there.
Watching.
Waiting.
Always a step ahead.

She finally crashed through a set of enormous black doors — back into the castle.
Back into the iron room.

Back into the bed.

She gasped for breath — heart exploding in her chest — and realized she was awake.

Or...
was she?

Because across the room, sitting in a massive, rotted throne, was Yoongi.
Watching her.
Smiling.

The real one.
Or just another nightmare.

Minji didn’t know anymore.

His voice was soft, cruel:

"Sweet dreams, little lamb."
"You're only at the beginning."
