Chapter 2: The crystal
It was a crisp, sunny day as Ju-Min and Noah walked towards the high school. They had been exploring the surrounding forest when they stumbled upon a gleaming crystal, nestled in the hollow of a tree. The crystal had caught the sunlight, casting kaleidoscopic colors onto the forest floor. Both Ju-Min and Noah had felt a surge of excitement, their pupils dilating as they observed the exquisite gemstone.
They exchanged a glance, a silent understanding passing between them. They both knew that something strange and powerful emanated from the crystal, a magnetic pull that they couldn't resist.
As they approached the crystal, they noticed that it was not a single gemstone, but rather two. The first one they had discovered was a stunning ruby, the deep crimson coloring radiating against the verdant backdrop of the forest. They reached out simultaneously to touch the smooth surface of the gem.
