I can't see anything. The light is far away from me but I can't see it. I feel like I'm closing my eyes but I'm not. I open my eyes so widely. I just cannot see anything! I... I 'm not even sure why I'm here. "Hellooooo??!!!!" I scream. Where am I? How do I get here? Is this another nightmare? Ugh, please wake up! Why can't I move my hand? I... I can... I just can't make my hands slap my face. I cannot control them..... "HEEEEELLPPPPP!!!" I scream as loud as I can. Where is Sana?? Where is Tzuyu?? Where are all my friends? Oh no... Am I dead? Am I? Am I? Am I??? My eyes get all warmed up. It's leaking, as usual. But I'm afraid... I'm so afraid... Where am I?
Where am I???
"Haeju..." Huh, who's that? "Haeju, can you hear me?"I hear a heavy voice calling my name. It feels familiar but I'm sure it's not one of the members. "Who's there?" I try to answer him. Her? I'm not even sure what I hear... "Who... Who are you?" I ask. "Aww... You have a really beautiful voice. Calm down, don't be afraid. You're safe. It's... I'm a..." "Who?" "I'm your author."
Wait, let me light it up for you......

"I'm... On a street....." "Yes, you are," I tell Haeju. She sounds relieved to see the city around her. I know she will like it. It's because I like it too. "Where are you? Where is everybody?" I ask. "I'm here with you. I cannot see you as you cannot see me either. Everybody? Each of them is in their place. They're safe and they're not leaving us. Yet, at least. But it's fine. What more important is I have to tell you about our situation now. Aren't you wondering why you're here?" "I am! Who are you?" "Alright... Listen to me, it's gonna be a long and uneasy explanation. Hold on something! Be relax and concentrate, okay? Do it like when you read the tarot cards. Concentrate, Haeju! Are you ready?" "Wait..." I hold on the bar, facing the river. It's dark, I can't see anything. No. It's more like... There's nothing there. "I'm ready..." "Are you sure? Focus, Haeju, I cannot hear you!" "Sigh... I don't like this. Please tell me who you are!!!" "Okay okay. Easy, Dear..."
I take a deep breath before saying the next sentence.
"Hello, Ahn Haeju. Just like I said earlier, I'm your author. Maybe this will be confusing for you. It's kinda mind-blowing, I know, but just listen to me and believe what you hear. Just swallow the hard pill. I know you're familiar with the dark sorcery so this won't be that hard to accept. First of all, let me ask you some questions. Are you into making charm, curses, foretelling the future using tarot, astrology, numerology, and stuffs like that?" "Yes, how do you-" "Have you ever felt lost lately that you're not sure where you are? Or who you are? Or maybe, suddenly you just wake up in a room and not sure how you get there?" "YES YES!!!" "Do you see your friends differently lately? Like, they're not humans but they're just combinations of their zodiac signs? "Yes... Who are-" "Have you predicted some events in the future-" "ALL TRUE! WHO ARE YOU? WHY DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THOSE THINGS??!" I'm stunned to hear that. I'm nervous, but I still need to tell her this. That I- "...Haeju-ya, I am you."
