3rd Person POV
It was now the next day, the sun was shining bright and trouble was around the corner. Not that they knew it well except for Hye Jin who was already up and waiting anxiously for the upcoming event. When she woke up, Yeon was long gone, she guessed he had gone to get the rare wild ginsengs.
She looked at the sleeping Ji Ah and sighed, seeing her character going through the trouble and trauma through the screen and knowing it was fiction was calming enough but now that she's in this universe where everything is very much real and that she was seeing it and going through it as well is making her nervous and scared.
What's making her even more terrified is about what would happen to her if she died in this universe, will she go back to her real one? Or will she die in both of them?
She got up and walked outside the room and looked around to see if anyone was near and when she saw no one was clear, she pulled out her phone and called Taluipa. After five rings, the call got picked up.
"This better be worth my time, Hye Jin." Taluipa's voice sounded in her ear.
"I won't take a lot of time but I just wanted to ask if you found out anything." She asked biting her thumb.
Taluipa didn't need to ask to clarify about what topic she asked about as she already knew what she'd ask.
Taluipa sighed before speaking, "Yes I did but it's not safe to speak about this on the phone. When you come back meet me in my office."
"But- okay. Thank you Granny for whatever you have found till now." Hye Jin thanked, grateful for Taluipa helping her.
"Not a problem Hye Jin. Take care." and with that, she ended the call.
Hye Jin looked at the clear sky and sighed happily. She smiled to herself and hoped for the best.

After getting ready Hye Jin and Ji Ah went out in search of Yeon and after a few minutes they found him under a tree with two elderly women.
"Where did you get these rare wild ginsengs." one of the women who was wearing a yellow shirt asked, gasping.
"These could be worth a fortune!" the other exclaimed still not believing what was in front of them.
As Hye Jin and Ji Ah climbed up the stairs, Yeon snatched the basket away from the elderly women making them beg to give it back.
"Talk to this woman first." Yeon said pointing at Ji Ah.
The elderly women looked at her who sat beside Yeon and glanced at Hye Jin, who was now crouched behind Yeon and Ji Ah in between, right behind the basket for a second and looked back at the contents of the basket.
"Don't talk down to them" Ji Ah hissed at Yeon.
"They're seventy-four years old. They're like babies to me." Yeon retorted making Hye Jin scoff in amusement which went unnoticed by them all.
"What are you so curious about?" one of their elderly asked Ji Ah.
"Uh, why are you all keeping quiet about that skull." Ji Ah asked the elders.
Hye Jin picked up one of the ginseng and dangled it for the women to see it, to which she succeeded as their eyes didn't leave the plant. Yeon looked back at Hye Jin with amusement in his eyes to which she smirked.
The women sighed and looked away from the trio and shuttered simultaneously. "Uh, you know, that's.."
"You tell her." one of them said to the other.
"Don't tell anyone that we told you about it." the one in the red shirt begged.
"I promise I won't." Ji Ah said with a smile.
"Yeah, you know it's... it's not the first time it happened, you know." the elderly said with exaggerated actions and facial expressions.
"You know, the human head." she said gesturing to her own neck.
Ji Ah stared at them with widened eyes at the information. Hye Jin sighed and stood up dusting imaginary dust from her jeans.

While Ji Ah went on a walk and to call Jae Hwan, Yeon and Hye Jin stayed back. She started to pace around with nervous thoughts. After watching her for a while he got irritated and stood in her way to stop her from pacing even more.
"If you pace even longer, I will get dizzy. Now tell me what's wrong?" Yeon said making Hye Jin sigh.
"Do you trust me?" she asked him.
