I stepped out of the Seoul Library into the cold night. The roads and streets were mostly empty, the people being inside their houses at that time of the night due to the cold weather.

Everything was always calmer during the months of autumn and winter. People stayed inside, not coming out much after dark due to the extreme cold.

There was always silence and stillness all around during these few months. I took this time as a chance of enjoying the peaceful silence in the usually busy streets of Seoul where everyone was always rushing around.

But autumn and then winter, these two seasons were my favorite due to the silence of Seoul, where people were always busy and life was fast. The winters made me feel like where life was fast-paced and rushed, it was calm and still too.

I hugged myself as I took bigger and quicker steps, wanting to get home as soon as possible and getting a well-deserved sleep.

The thought of spending the whole weekend in bed made me smile and I already felt better knowing I'd be able to rest completely this weekend.

The roads of Seoul were empty except for the occasional passing of a car. My home was about a fifteen minute walk from the library and I mostly walked home every night. It made me feel good and free after a long day's work in the library.

I walked in the direction of my home, the cold engulfing me by each passing second. Crossing a street I turned towards the right, getting closer to my home.

Thinking I would go home and sleep in my warm bed until late in the morning, I endured the increasing cold which was eating my skin and bones through my blazer.

I knew I should have worn something warmer, but in my hurry that morning, I had only brought a light blazer with me instead of something warmer.

I stopped dead in my tracks, thinking I saw a shadow beside me. I turned back, expecting to find someone there, but there was not a single living soul in sight.

Shrugging it off as most probably nothing I started walking again. Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me.

Before I could even turn back to see who it was, someone had placed a hand over my mouth, gripping it hard. I thrashed and flailed but to no avail.

The person - whoever it was - was strong and somehow they managed to overpower me.

I felt the person remove their hand from my face. Not giving me a chance to turn back, I felt something on my nose.

I tried not to inhale it but I couldn't last long that way and soon found darkness engulfing me.
