Two MoonsSiyeon had fallen into a deep, dreamless slumber, which was more than relaxing to her. There was nothing than soft and covering darkness. No thoughts, no memories, no dreams, nothing. Her mind could relax, finally, but too soon, someone disrupted that peaceful nothingness inside her head. “Wake up. Hey! Wake up!” Rather hesitantly Siyeon opened her eyes.
