"Are sure, young lady? You want to go to bamboo forest today?" The girl asked while looked. Chaeyeon stopped her walk and then turned her body around. She looked to her.
"Its full moon tonight.. you can go back. I will be alone..you don't need to follow me." She said.
"But.."
"Nothing will happen to me.."
"I will wait at here." The maid said in worried. She still want to accompany her eventhough she felt afraid to be alone inside the forest.
"Yuri..better you go back to our mansion and lock your door. Its full moon, every monsters will come out later.." Chaeyeon deliberately said like that. She want to make Yuri became afraid. Yuri who heard that became shaky in hands.
"Go now.," Chaeyeon said in stern. She ran away and quickly ran to her mansion. Chaeyeon smiled slowly as her maid become cute like that.
She walked to forest while hold bamboo flute on her hands. She keep walking and then she arrived to the river. She sat at the stone and look to the reflection of moon inside the river.
"It seem tonight the moonlight is brighter than usual.." She said. She took off her hat and veil and then she start playing a flute. The sound that come out from her flute made the night become more peaceful. She stopped play as she heard something come near. She wear her veil back and her hat.
"Why are you here?" She asked as she heard the step came near to her.
"Its full moon..its time for me to find a victim." He said in rough voice while come closer.
"You know who you talk with now?" She asked in displeased as he had disturbed her time to being alone.
"I don't know.." The man's voice sound cocky.
"If I want to kill you..i will kill you by pull your heart out." She said while standing in front of him in blink. He startled to see her in close.
"You..you...." He startled.
"How dare you to disturb me?" She growled toward him.
"I.. I.."
"If you want to stay alive..you go from here quickly and do not turning back. If not, its not you got a victim.. but its me who will turn you to my victim.." Chaeyeon said in stern. The man quickly go run from there. He did like as she said.
'Ruin my mood..' She said while looked to the sky. The moon had been covered by cloud. 'Its time for food hunting..' She said while collecting her flute on the ground. She walked from there. She really lost her mood because of that man's presence.

"It stop already.." Hyunjin said.
"What stop?"
"That sound.."
