Opened

[Note; How did ACF get to the golden world is narrated in Volume 2; Ch. 37-40]

[This Chapter had been re-written already ]

"This time the world states on you, Asami Gold The ACF, to be nothing. Not a male, nor a female. To the people of the Golden World. Your gender is not for them to know and so you are given another name, Li Jun, with your own. You shall use this as a name until a day comes and those who are meant to know will know. And with that, you may still have your position as "The Golden Leader"."

"I accept…"

And by that, I was set in the Golden World by…

.

Before the day I came here; to the Golden World. It was a never existing place for me. I denied the existence of any world I did not attend. No prelife world, no afterlife world, and no other life did I believe in. They all were myths to my ears. I blocked myself from believing what was right in front of me; if not hidden away from me.

.

The sun shined brightly with its long heat-full rays breaking through the early winter cool breezes. The calls of those breezes and the long flying trees lifted every ear that could hear by their rustles. I dreamed of this blue cool sky every day. The smell of winter that broke my heart to pieces, yet I still liked it. The voices of the Golden House's rusty bells clapped this winter harder and harder as I listened. As we listened.

.

Following a period of silence, "Hey, Jong Hyun-ah," echoed in the empty, huge Golden House. The atmosphere was intense as a military dorm. It was rare for anyone to make a sound here. So, silence it was again. "Jong Hyun-ah," broke through it, but this time the voice was closer. A voice lite as a playful little girl and fierce like swords clashing on a battlefield. A male? A female? A young woman? A courageous man? One word… 'Neutral'.

The approaching steps walked on a glasslike floor. The delicate sound of those steps almost sang a melody. They rhymed. Smooth yet strong.

"Bang," that was extreme!

'Huh,' someone sighed, 'ah, he's sleeping with his eyes open again. Now, how can I wake him up,' that voice complained. In such a haunted place, no one was there anymore, But Jong Hyun and… ACF.

ACF was frustrated. She did not really expect to see Jong Hyun sleeping, and had nothing to do but wait; knowing it was impossible for her to wake him up. 'Even though I told him not to sleep, he did,' She angrily screamed at him.

A person in his twenties who was lying on the couch. A fluffy blanket wrapped around him. It looked like he had cozied himself in there for years; hibernated. He did not move. The scent around him was calm. With his red lips, hazel eyes, and a popping ash hair, he was a sleeping beauty. If you did not know him, you would think he just lied there and was awake, but he was sleeping. Sleeping with open eyes. He was Kim Jong Hyun.

'tik' 'tik' [ tears fall ]

ACF started shedding tears from her seemingly emotionless eyes. "Why does seeing him sleeping always makes me cry so bad? It hurts…" she thought loudly to herself. She knew how to openly express "feelings".

The place was almost inhabited and Jong Hyun was in a deep sleep.
