Trigger warning: Mentions of death

Hello onces! So, I'm finally done with part two of the real world! it took me longer than I anticipated because I ahd writers bLoCk eEk. Anyways, I suggest you read part one before proceeding with this fan fiction. sO let's dive into the real world uwu

This took me so much longer than I thought sorry I was stucK

She turned around and kept running. She ran far away until she was too tired to ran anymore. She found a broken robot and sat down, leaning her back against it. She knew those men were after her so she tried to stay silent. She stood up and peeked at what was happening. The scientists were there, looking for her. She made a step back to hide again but she stepped on a rock - or whatever that was - and made a sudden sound.

"She's over there!"

The scientists all looked towards her direction. She looked at them for a moment. She was about to start running when one of the scientists pointed a gun at her -was that a gun? It seemed more complex and more intimidating. Tzuyu simultaneously raised her hands in the air and looked down preparing herself mentally to die. She thought she'd die, she thought she'd never see her eight friends again. She thought she'd die in a world that wasn't even hers. However, she didn't get shot. The scientists signaled her to follow them, and she did. Really, did she have any other choice?

As she started walking, the person with the gun pointed it at her head so she wouldn't try to run away. Biting her lip nervously, she followed the scientists. Whenever she stopped walking or slowed down the scientist with the gun would hit her so that she'd keep moving. They took her to a building -probably the only one that wasn't falling apart along with the one she came out of- and made her go inside. One of the scientists took her to a square room and pushed her inside. Glass walls came down around the room and she was left all alone in there. Those glass walls took a black color and they didn't look like glass anymore.

"Don't try anything funny"

The scientist outside said. Now Tzuyu could barely hear him. The glass cage around her is probably sound proof, she thought. She leant her back against one of the walls and let her back roll down. She hugged her knees. A feeling of dread with threads of nervousness were currently wrapping around our trapped protagonist, who had no idea what to do.

"What do I do what do i do what do I do"

She started telling herself panicking. Obviously, she was scared, felt vulnerable, felt sick of everything. Why did this have to happen? Why her? Everything was just perfect before. She was living her life-long dream, had eight absolutely loving group mates, she felt special. Then this had to happen, didn't it? A few hours of an endless mental breakdown later, one of the glass walls started going up revealing five people standing there. She looked at each one of them carefully.

"H-hello?!"

She called out then thought that this wasn't a good move. One of the scientists explained her the situation in korean, somehow still not knowing she could speak Chinese.

"So, you must be confused as to what is going on. We are in the year 3020. Everything has fallen apart in the universe with technology. It has taken over. We make people live in the past so you can have a better life, but no one must know. That's why you can't go back."

He explained the whole thing as if it was something normal. But for Tzuyu it was something absurd she had never seen anywhere other than movies.

" So I can't go back?"

Tzuyu frowned. Although she knew what reality actually was, she wanted to go back. Everything she knew and loved was there. How could she so simply leave everything behind? To make things even worse, the scientist shook his head.

"I'm afraid not. No one needs to know."

One of the scientist said something in Chinese to the other. They didn't know tzuyu could understand, obviously. But she knew exactly what they said, and it was something along those lines:

"We can either stop the project or kill her."

The scientist then tapped the Korean scientist's shoulder and told him to tell her in korean. If she stayed there knowing her friends are still around would be torture for her, so those were the only options available.

Tzuyu looked like she had understood everything, well, because she had. If she chose to live, all her friends would lose their reality too... If she died, then she'd lose her reality. Although she already had lost it. There was nothing left for her.

"Make it quick..."

She eventually spoke in Chinese. She had taken her decision and nothing could change her mind anymore... But before she left, she had one last favor to ask for. She got a paper and a pen and wrote down. She gave it to the scientists. One of them pointed a gun at her after she said she was ready.

"Goodnight..."

This was her last word before it lead to her last breath. The shotgun was loud, it got her right in the heart. It was quick, just like she asked. She felt pain for a second and then went to a better place.

Jihyo walked inside the dorm. She now had no dorm mate, but she found something odd. It was a small note, written in blue pen in a shaky Hangul handwriting.

Dear Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun and Chaeyoung...

I'm sorry to have to write this but I have to go. My time's up. Thank you for always being there for me. , I'll always be by your side. But you girls don't worry about me. Keep going with your lives as if I never existed, live happily. I don't want you being stuck on the past forever because of me. , there's no escape from reality.

Your dear maknae, Chou Tzuyu

So, that's how it ends. Sorry if it's too far fetched or bad or rushed. I lost motivation half way there and then regained it and then lost it again--it's complicated.

Was this the ending I was expecting? No, but I wanted it to be sad so I went down this road. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the series. Sorry for the long wait in advance. See you in my next blog just like last time, bye!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll cry in my corner.
