Y/n sighed, looking at the empty glass of water in her hand. Wondering if she was numb enough. Cold enough. She could feel them both. The endings to the tales she'd begun, like old scars on tattooed skin. After what had happened with her, she only wished to sleep. And never wake up. She had indeed gone through a lot . Her therapist, Lia. A young, beautiful woman who was just a few years elder to her had became a very good friend of hers too. Lia sighed as she looked at her with sympathy in her eyes. "What you had gone through was not easy, you know. I really admire how brave you are, Y/n." She kept a hand on her shoulder. Y/n sighed as she looked infront of her. A beautiful tree infront of her, which was a house for so many living creatures. The tree which could provide shade to so many of the people.

She muttered "Thanks." While smiling softly, her eyes not leaving the beautiful tree. It was old, almost older than herself. But its charm never left. It could attract so many people even now. Lia looked at the direction where her eyes were and smiled at the view. "What happened after that?"








Irene stood there, dropping the metal pole on the floor which caused a sound. She looked at Taehyung who glared at her, still holding his head which was now bleeding. She then looked at me, her hands trembling so was her voice. "We have to leave." Her voice as good as inaudible but I could make out her words because of her lips.

With one last glance at him, my feet automatically ran towards the door. I heard him scream but there was no way I would stop. Irene followed behind me as we both ran. Just when I was about to twist the knob of the door, it suddenly opened, revealing the person I wanted here right now, with me. ''Jungkook." I called his name as thousands of burdens were taken away from my shoulders.

I let out a sigh of relief when he embraced me securely. Soon we heard loud, heavy footsteps and it didn't take us a second to understand who was coming after us. "Quick, run." Jungkook whispered as we sprinted out of the house, only to be met with tall, thick trees. It scared us but we weren't planning to stop.

We ran into the darkness like our life was dependent on that. "Cops would be here soon, don't worry." I heard Jungkook's voice as he ran behind me but I was too determined to get away from that house that I didn't even bother to reply back to him.

I could hear the loud sounds of insects and animals. I could hear the sound of the dry leaves when we crushed it with our feets. My legs felt numb but it felt as if, if I stop, he would come here and take me with him again, to make me his doll.

Suddenly, my legs gave up and I fell down on the ground. The wound on my hip was still aching and now, with the fall, it worsened more. I let out a low groan and tried getting up. Then I noticed. Jungkook and Irene. I quickly looked around, only to see myself surrounded with trees and more trees. A sudden fear engulfed me and I looked around again, hoping to see them, waiting for me. But I found no trace about them. All the confidence I once had, vanished like thin vapour in the air.

I didn't even know the way from where I came, but there was no way I was going back.
With slow, tiny steps, I kept walking further. Moonlight was the only source of light which wasn't too clear for me to see my path. A sudden cold breeze hit my skin which made me shudder. I heard a pack of wolves howling from far and it was so scary that I had to cover my ears and close my eyes shut. But I didn't stop walking. There has to be a way out of this forest.

I kept walking for a while. The forest had suddenly turned so quiet that it made me feel uneasy. Just like the quietness before the storm. I felt uneasy but kept walking. Only the sound of me crushing the dry leaves could be heard. It wasn't easy for me to walk with that wound on my hip. My eyelids felt heavy and my whole body was in pain. I really needed to lie down to ease that pain but there was no way I could do it here in the middle of the forest.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps around me, which made me hault my steps, and the footsteps stopped as well. Is it my footsteps? Cold sweat started to form on my forehead and I quickly wiped it off with the back of my palm. I dared not look behind me and continued to walk a little faster than before. And I could hear the footsteps again, this time a little closer. I stopped walking and closed my eyes shut. And the footsteps stopped as well.

"J-Jungkook? I-Irene? Is t-that y-you? P-Please don't play s-such type of games r-right now." I spoke and my voice shook so much that I was barely understandable.

With a lot of courage, I turned my head to look behind me and it was as if my breath was stuck inside my throat. My palms turned sweaty and my feets refused to move as I stared at the darkness. No one was there. Was i hallucinating? I forced myself to think that it was nothing but hallucinations and I continued to walk further. No matter how hard I tried to think of the positives, nothing could call my palpitating heart.

And suddenly I flinched badly and my feet stuck to the ground when I heard a hum.

That familiar heart clenching hum.
