Sometimes,

it's better to stay confused.

"...and that's how it ends." He cracked his knuckles after throwing his almost used up pen into the dustbin. It had been a long tedious task for him to write meticulously and now he just wants nothing else but to relax and unwind.

He stood up from his chair causing a faint creak to come out of it before he ambled to one of his cabinets. The door screeched open with difficulty as more dust particles suspended into the air. Coughing slightly, he smiled when his eyes spotted the familiar ting he was looking for. Grabbing it, his smile became even more wider when he found the watch still ticking despite its worn out appearance and state.

His thumb clicked a tiny button to the north-east side of the watch and the hands of the watch stopped before it began to move backwards and stopped at a particular time.

8:27 pm

He smiled once again and kept it back in its place before shifting the cabinet door close. He headed out and made sure to lock the door on his way out because he didn't wanted anyone else to see it before she does.

A click resounded in the hollow space.

Suddenly, the wind from the open window grew a little more violent and eradicated the curtains from the way. The moonlight from the full moon made its way to his desk and onto the papers. The papers flipped on their own until it reached the beginning of the pages where the title was beautifully calligraphed. The moonlight seeped into the words of the title and it seemed to glow despite the void, black ink.

The words lifted themselves from the pages and floated into the air until they formed the title.

"I'm extremely wary of your impulsive actions, Your Highness. I still do not quite believe your claims of hearing a completely different thing than what I am." Younggeum voiced out her doubts as she followed aimlessly behind the female who was 'finding' the source of the sound in her mind. Her body was swaying in different directions and wouldn't stay still causing Younggeum to take multiple annoying detours.

"Are your implying that I'm lying, then?" Younha asked a question instead to keep her busy.

"Cer-Certainly not, Your Highness." Younggeum stammered, "I am just questioning my state of mind as I do not quite hear the sound of this new thing called 'theremin' as you prescribed." Younha didn't fail to notice the slight sarcasm in her words when she paraphrased her words to be respectable which caused her to roll her eyes.

"Just follow me, I swear I am not lying! I do hear it! But how would you know? Since you can't peek into someone's head now, can you?" Younha snickered as her fingertips pressed on a random wall in assumptions of sensing the vibrations of the sound but weirdly, she found none. Which was strange as a theremin produces a lot of vibrations of different wavelengths which makes it quite a noticeable instrument.
