I purchased a new piece of land with the intention of building a bungalow. As I have studied architect, I decided to draft the blueprint myself.
I was absorbed so much in my work that I didn't even notice the time, and before I knew it, it was already 1:30 am.
For me, it's nothing new because I am an insomniac, and I need pills to sleep. I stood up from my study table to go to the terrace for a walk, but my steps halted upon hearing someone's voice.
The voice was coming from her room, the girl I rescued, Miss choi. I opened the door to her room and was shocked to see her state, she was shivering from fear and was scratching her body while mumbling something.
I neared her to talk but she started to throw her hands on me, she was acting like an insane person, and as I hear her, she was asking to let her go.
This is very serious. I decided to call Miss. Song immediately, but can't leave her like this , so I grabbed her both hands with mine and made her sit on bed gently.
My touch made her come to her senses maybe, cause she looked at me as her eyes softened and her body relaxed.
"Please help me." She said looking at me with pleading eyes.
"Ya, don't worry, no one's gonna hurt you." I assured her.
She shake her head vigorously saying " No, they are after me, they won't leave me, they'll come for me."
"Calm down, don't panic, I'll protect you, no on can hurt you." Her eyes shot up at my sentence.
"Really, will you?" She questioned, her eyes full of hopes that I don't have guts to say no.
"Yes, ofcourse I will, trust me." I don't even realise what am I saying. I am promising to protect someone that I don't even know.
"For now, let's sleep ok." I laid her down and covered with comforter. I turned to walk back to my room but felt a grip on my hand.
"Please don't leave me alone." She said pulling my hand closer and putting it under her head. I didn't know what to do, so I decided to wait till she falls asleep while sitting on the chair placed near her bed. _________________________________________

I entered the living room of the building, both the elders were having breakfast.
"Good morning." I greeted both of them before taking a seat beside Jin.
" Good morning." They both said in unison.
"Where's Taehyung?" I asked as the servant served me breakfast.
"He must be in his room, we should ask someone to call him." Namjoon said.
Seokjin called a servant and asked him to call Taehyung. But when he returned he said that he isn't in his room and left his phone behind.
Both of their faces showed concern, they called everyone, but no on knew where the Kim Taehyung was?
On the other hand ,I made my way to Aeri's room, the door of her room was left ajar, I got scared and swiftly pushed it open.
I was amused at the scene before me, Taehyung was sleeping on a chair with his hands entangled with Aeri. I asked both the Kims to join me.
They came running upstairs, they both were shocked but Seokjin quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket to click a picture. _________________________________________

My eyes flutter open, listening to the whispers near me. The first thing that come into view is a beautiful face that looks so exhausted and pale because of the crying.
Minutes later I realised where I was and quickly got up trying not to wake her up. My eyes found three pairs of eyes looking at me.
"What happened Taehyung, how did you end up here." Miss Song asked me.
I gulped remembering last night.
"Thank god doc, you are here, she was behaving like a maniac last night." I said walking to them.
I explained them everything, how she was shivering from fear and having a panic attack remembering her past.
" I thought I'll go back to my room once she is asleep, but I didn't realise when I felt into deep slumber." I looked at the time, it was 10 in the morning, I have never slept this late.I usually sleep for 2-3 hours even after taking pills.
"Did you overdose your sleeping pills?" Miss Song looked seriously at me.
"No-no, I didn't even took a single pill." I defended myself. She nodded her head in understanding.
"It's ok, don't worry ,maybe it was because you were tired.Go, fresh up and have your breakfast, till then I'll check her." She said and I walked back to my room.
I sat in the tub of cool water, my nerves stretching itself, cause I have been sleeping on chair from hours. I closed my eyes feeling relaxed.
A vivid image of her face emerged as I closed my eyes. I still remember how she was trembling in front of me.
It's really baffling that I have seen people dying in front of me and even killed people with my own hands yet seeing her like that yesterday made my heart clenched.
"What is this? should I go back to my therapy sessions?" I questioned myself.
After witnesing my father die before me by my own uncle and I couldn't do anything. I began to have panic attacks.
When yesterday I saw that girl, I was reminded of myself. The way she shudder before and I couldn't do anything, made me feel so powerless.
I don't know what all she went through in these years that her condition is like this.
A smile appeared on my lips as I remembered the first time I saw her, years ago.
