<Im at the house. mommy is out, i don't know when she'll be back, so the babysitters are here. It's okay, my friend is here too! his name is Yewang, he lives close!
Daddy told me to work on my writing and spelling while hes at work, he says i'm really good at it!>

"What're you doing there?" I turned around, and saw Mr. Seo, one of Yewang's dads watching me from behind. "I'm trying to write good, i-is it good?" I asked him, and he took the paper to look over it. "It's very good! But there are some mistakes. Okay, they're here, and there... and there, also there." He said that while pointing out the mistakes I had made. " You just need to remember the apostrophes and capitalizing certain parts you should." I nodded, though I didn't really know what those words meant. "It's okay Kyungmin, you're what, 5? I couldn't spell anything at that age, you're doing really good!" He said. "Really really good?" I asked. "Yes, really really good" he said, smiling. Suddenly, Yewang and the other Mr. Seo came in from the backyard. Since it was noon, the two men went to the kitchen to make lunch, and me and Yewang were left alone in the living room. "TV?" I asked "no" Yewang said. He then looked at me with a weird look, and said "I need to t-tell you something, s-something bad." I could hear that he was scared, so I brought him up to sit on the couch with me. "What's wrong, Yewang?" He played with his fingers and started to talk "something w-watch me all night" he said. "Huh? What?" I asked him, but he didn't say anything after that. I heard footsteps entering the room, and two plates were sat on the table. I honestly had no idea what was on them, but It looked edible. "Eat up" Mr. Seo said, and he and the other Mr. Seo decided to go upstairs for what they called "alone time" leaving me and Yewang alone once again. I turned on the tv, and watched Yewang eat- uh, whatever it was. I couldn't eat though, I was too damn curious about what he  meant by something watches him at night. And I'm not about to let it go.
"Yewang?" silence "Yewang?" nothing "Pleeeease??" sigh "IT" he said, and if anything, I just feel confused now. "It? What it?" I said "IT" he responded.
I was about to say something else when i heard a loud noise coming from upstairs. I ignored it though, and asked Yewang once again "What is IT? Please tell me, I won't tell anyone!" Another weird noise from upstairs, and I finally got my answer... "A man- no.. a-a-an IT-- it look like the candle, when the uh- umm the uh" "the wax?" I finished his sentence for him, and he continued. "Yeah, wax. His skin looks like the wax when daddy blew out the candle.. It's melting, like the candle." What could he mean? "Was it a bad dream?" I asked. He started shaking his head frantically "no, no, NO! IT was real, I swear! I pinky swear!!" He shouted and held out his pinky, I took it in mine and said "okay, I believe you." He smiled at that, and started to calm down. He then looked up at the roof, and I heard some more of those weird noises. "What are your dad's doing up there? Playing drums?" I said, feeling confused as ever. "You don't wanna know, trust me." That's all Yewang said before looking back at the tv.

I had just finished eating an overly sweet, somewhat bitter lunch when i heard the stairs start to creak. "How are you two boys doing?" Mr. Seo said "we're okay daddy, where's appa?" Yewang asked, since only one of his dads came down. "He's just resting, sweety, he'll come down soon. Oh, and  Kyungmin?" He asked "hmm?" I mumbled "your parents will be home early tomorrow morning, around 7, Okay?" He told me "okay" i said, and I started yawning. Yewang did the same, and Seo picked up on it. "Looks like it's time for you two to take a nap!" He said "where do you take naps, your bedroom?" He asked "Yeah, we can go up now" I said, he just nodded in response.

Me and Yewang lyed in my bed, and stared up at the ceiling, we said nothing. I then started hearing a light snore coming from my right. Guess he's already asleep I thought, and closed my eyes.

I was suddenly jolted awake, only to find I was in a car, speeding down a dark road through a storm. But, something was off. When I looked in the mirror, I looked much older somehow, and I saw another boy driving next to me. I didn't recognize him, but somehow I felt like I knew him. IT was so strange, but though I can't remember ever meeting him, it felt like I'd known him for years. "BAEKSEUNG!! LEFT!! TURN LEFT!!" I shouted on instinct, and he listened to me, making a left turn immediately. "DID WE LOSE HIM YET?!?" He looked at me and shouted loudly, but the second he turned back to face the road, he let out a blood curdling scream that felt like a knife pierced through my ears. I also looked back to the front of the road, and I saw it. IT. He was standing right in front if the car, and disappeared like a ghost just before we hit him. "OH thank God!" Baekseung said. "Do you think he's gone?" Baekseung didn't get the chance to even respond when we heard a voice coming from an unknown place. IT sang "one, two, Freddie's coming for you. three, four"-

"OH MY GOSH" I was shaken awake, only to see Yewang crying, and his dads panicking while shaking me. "IS HE AWAKE?" "YES, YES HE'S AWAKE! He's okay!!" One of them said. What?
One of them then leaned down and said "it's okay sweety, you just had a bad dream." I realized I was really sweaty, and I looked down only to see i had wet the bed. "It's okay sweety, I'll  help you get a bath ready, and wash your sheets too." I proceeded to get up, and without thinking I just blurted out "Baekseung" Seo looked at me, and asked "Baekseung? Who's that?" I looked at him and said "I don't know, we drove on the road in my dream. There was also rain, and a little girl singing..." silence "What was she singing?" Seo asked me, I told him "She said, "one, two, Freddie's coming for you. three, four," then I woke up."
"Hmm.." was all he said "well, I'm gonna go fill up the tub, you can get in your swimsuit so I can help you get cleaned up." He said and walked towards the bathroom after he bunched up all the sheets.

"Mu?" I didn't realize Yewang was still in the room until he called me by that dumb nickname he gave me. I also realized that he must've been the one to get his dads. "What is it?" I asked. I then saw that he looked terrified. "Th-th-that w-was the s-same dream that I just h-had."
He just stared at me with wide eyes, and walked out of the room. Once again I'm alone, with my thoughts.

How?
