The time passed quicker today. The toymaker spent his time working on his doll and finished it. He put it together with all the limbs and even the head. Everything was in place. He even sewed it many different clothes, but for now he was going to give him these,

They suited him well, he will stand out even more from the other dolls besides his size

They suited him well, he will stand out even more from the other dolls besides his size. The toy maker stepped back and looked at his work with a wide grin. "such a beauty" he said and walked to the dool. he removed the chain which held him up on its feet and supported the doll making sure it didn't fall over.

"You come with me, we are going to give you a perfect spot" Taehyung said and carried the doll with him back to the main entrance. He walked behind the stairs where a big entrance was to the ballroom. his 3 cm heels echoed when he walked over the shiny marmer and colorful floor. There were chairs put inside all facing the empty stage with deep wine red curtains. He put the doll on the stage letting it stand alone on his feet and walked behind the stage. He had built a whole construction for this. Stepping over a box he climbed up the ladder that led to the spot above the stage. it was all made from wood and cracked when he walked over it you could hear it was old. Taehyung grabbed the thread that hung over the edge and three the edges down. one side was attached to the construction above the other end was now hanging down behind the doll. Taehyung hummed a little song as he made his way back down the ladder to the doll. It stood there staring into space. Taehyung grabbed the thread and tied it to the doll's limbs.

"perfect" he said making his way to the back. He spun the lever until the end and ran back to the front, hopping on a seat which was all the way in the front and in the middle. Perfect view on the stage. After a second or three there were sounds heard. First it was an annoying static which made Taehyung frown but then there was music.

"Three, two and....one" Taehyung smiled as he saw the doll's arm go up and move. His face grew a smile when he saw the doll start to dance. its limbs were moved by the strings. It was nice but something was missing. The music slowed down and came to an end. but Taehyung was not smiling anymore...He was glaring ahead of him. With an annoyed sigh he stood up and straightened his suit walking with steady steps to the doll. it was back to its place standing there, not moving.

"It's not perfect," he said, standing right in front of the doll. Its eyes looked into space not moving an inch. its hair falling perfectly in model. It annoyed Taehyung. The dool was pretty, it was all anyone would want, but it didn't fill the empty dark void inside of him. it was missing something and it was making him angry....it wasn't alive.

Taehyung turned on his heels and jumped down on the floor waking to the chairs. he grabbed one and threw it across the room making it hit some other chairs. loud crashing sound was heard form the heavy material hitting the floor. He screamed his anger out and left the ballroom shutting the door behind him with a loud bang. The maid just came from the corner wondering what was going on but when she saw taehyung she flinched and distance herself to let the man pass. The homeowner was looking terrifying to her. she didn't want trouble.

But luck wasn't on her side, before she could walk away to hide in the other side of the mansion for a while Taehyung turned back around and grabbed her by her dress making her turn around.

"Sunhee" he said the lady gulped giving him her attention. "I want you to take special care of my new doll, he is special and he cant age over time. don't let it get dusty or dirty" Taehyung said, making sure she got all of that. the maid nodded and with that answer the toy maker turned around walking up the stairs.

"New doll...i wonder what it looks like" she said she wasn't allowed to enter taehyung's work room a lot. definitely not when the maker was inside at work she would disturb him. So she turned to the ballroom. The head man just walked out of the end and walked inside, closing the door carefully behind her. she turned her head around and saw a doll standing on the stage. its hands and legs tied to a thread. She walked to it and climbed on the stage not wanting to walk around for the stairs. She was almost as tall as the doll she frowned when the doll seemed taller than her. "wait, i was taller right?" she mumbled she had heard Taehyung tell her about the doll and what he was making. she looked at the doll's feet and her mouth went a 'o' shape. "So that's why" she chuckled seeing the doll had heeled boots on. It suited the doll well, she actually liked the shoes a lot, maybe she will buy those for herself too. if Taehyung allowed someone to deliver it to them. knowing the man couldn't leave the house. The spirits wouldn't let him escape.

They wanted revenge.

"such a pretty doll he is'' she said and smiled. "i think you're my new favorite" Everything of it was beautiful. She liked this doll a lot. she could see that a lot of care and time went into it. The little details were all so clean. even the clothes were sewn beautifully and don't by skilled hands. She wondered why Taehyung got so angry, she didn't see anything wrong with the doll. He just looked lifeless. unlike the other dolls that creeped her out sometimes. she had the thought the dolls were watching her. Sometimes she swore she saw their eyes move. but this one just looked lifeless.
