"Let the waters guide you... just as Selene guides them..."
"You've been away long enough... It's time to come home.."
All Y/n wanted out of her dull, mundane life was to find out the truth about herself. Will she succeed in her endeavours or end up...

Ok Y/n, you've got this!
All you've got to do is ask a bunch of strangers if they know anything about your tragic past. No big deal.
Nerves racked through my body as I stood, dithering outside the inn.
Looking up and down the street I sought out my first victim who would have to put up with my crazy, awkward self. Like yesterday, the town seemed almost deserted, the only company being the screeching seagulls flying overhead and the prickly innkeeper who I learnt was named Ms Jee.
I had attempted to ask her some questions first but she abruptly cut me off.
"Hun, I don't get paid to answer questions about this dingy old town, and the lowlives in it. Do I look like I want to be here?" She stared at me condescendingly.
Words were caught in my throat, not knowing how to reply.
Huffing she had waved me off and proceeded to continue doing her makeup, looking in her flip up mirror, all while saying "Life's a bitch, you can try but in the end, we all can't get what we want".
Sweat was dripping from my temples by the time I stepped outside away from her. A great start to my search indeed.
I slowly began to walk along the street hoping to come across someone. Luckily I wore a sunhat, otherwise the blistering rays of the sun would surely burn me to a crisp. Oh how you've got to love the summer heat. At least being right by the ocean gave me somewhat of a breeze.
I had been scanning the place for a few minutes thinking I was never going to find another soul until finally, up ahead, coming out of a building, I spotted a group of three elderly men. They were all carrying fishing poles and buckets, looking like they were about to go out and catch something. An easygoing conversation was getting tossed about between their raspy voices and every so often they bellowed over in laughter from inside jokes.
Maybe they would know, they seem like locals.
Mustering up some courage, I quicken my pace to catch up with them. They seemed friendly enough, so talking might be easier. The crunching of gravel below my steps alerted one of them and like dominos they all turned towards me.
"Good mornin' to ya lil lady, can we help you with somethin'?"
I blushed at their use of words, my shyness not letting me look them directly in the face.
"H-hello! Sorry to bother you. Would you happen t-to know where Mr and Mrs Yang live?"
They all looked between each other and back towards me gobsmacked, their eyes widening making sure I wasn't somehow messing with them.
"What would a young lass like you want with an old grump like Chinhae?" The one in the middle asked, lifting a brow.
"Well... I guess you could say he's the one who saved my life."
