(Third Person's POV)

The phone beeps, notifying an incoming message. Sooha, being half asleep and groaning, fishes for her phone from the side table. She had fallen sleep after being on a call with her brother and forgotten to put it back on airplane mode.

She squints her eyes, struggling to draw her lock pattern with her blurry vision. She have put it so that no one can go through her phone again.

However, all the sleepiness in every single cell of her body flies out of the window the instant a certain contact name pops up on her screen and a very dirty scowl immediately appears on her face.

EvilSpirit:

Come out 11:16 pm

She locks her phone and throws it beside her on the bed. Who the fuck does he think he is! Ordering me like that! She scoffs in disbelief.There is no way in hell I'm going!

However, ten minutes later.

Sooha climbs downstairs on her tiptoes carefully, taking tiny steps and trying not to make as much sound as possible that will alert her grandparents. Once she is sure that everything is alright, she quietly slips through the back door before quickly crossing the backyard.

It is only because I'm curious and I can't sleep when I'm left curious. She tries to convince herself as she walks towards the fence, the cool night air seeping through the thin pajamas she is wearing.

"What the fuck do you want? Why do you wake me up?"

She spits once she sees the outline of his figure leaning casually on the fence. It is dim, the lighting only being the moonlight, and moreover his face is turned the other way so it is obscured in shadows.

She waits for an answer but he makes no move. Is he ignoring her on purpose? And that too after waking her up at this insane hour? She can feel her anger rising up.

"If you're not going to speak then I'm going!" She rises her voice. "It is almost midnight for gods sake! Unlike you, people need sleep!"

"It is already midnight." He speaks, his voice a little different.

"What are you saying?"

"You know what happens at midnight, don't you?"

"Felix! This is not funny!" Her anger falters a bit as a eere feeling rises inside her chest.

"Then is this funny?"

He says before suddenly turning his face to her, making her scream her lungs out and fall on her butt spooked out.

"God! You should have seen your face! It's so funny!" Felix takes off his mask and falls on his knee with laughter.

"Do you think this is funny!" Sooha shoots him a very angry glare from the ground.

"Isn't it?" He stands up using the fence as a support, still laughing hard. He is enjoying this too much.

And she can take it no longer. She abruptly gets up and slaps him hard across the cheek, catching him off guard. A sniff follows after that. And it freezes him.

"Yes I'm still afraid of dark! It is my weakness! And people weakness are always funny to you right?"

She lashes out in anger, her eyes glazing with unshed tears. Felix just stares at her, unable to form a word.

People would think she is overly dramatic but it is just that she is very sensitive. She is not tough as she acts, she get hurt very easily. And for some unknown reasons, it hurts her even more when it is him.

It hurts when she thought that maybe he cares about her, to get her hopes high, only to be bitterly disappointed afterwards. She let out a single sob. It hurts so damn much.

"I hate you." She spits for the last time before rushing back.

And Felix just stands there, watching her retreating back, an unreadable expression on his face.
