There lived once, a beautiful breathtaking young woman, whom people liked to call the rose girl, the mysterious maid, or the sinister lover.
But she liked to call herself 'Bae'.

The town had some rumors spread, that in the depth of the forest, where white roses bloom with sunlight's kisses, nearby them, there was her wooden three house, where she lived in.

For her beauty, she was a subject of takl among the young ladies. Every man and woman in the town, if asked, wanted to conquer the beauty the town.

But giving away something so precious, so rare, to the hands of the greedy souls, who wanted nothing but her body, was quite hard for Bae.

Thus, one had to pass a test, in order to live with the girl for eternity. But the consequences, after failing it, were however quite nerve-wracking.

There was a reason why Bae was called sinister.

People had sightingd of dead bodies with their heads chopped oss and a rose full of thorns stabbed into their chest, laying in the depths of the forest, near Bae's place.

They claimed it was none other than the merciless beauty who did this, with the ones who failed her tests.

People were afraid. But at the same time, they couldn't resist Bae's beauty in the portraits drawn by hermits, thus wanted to get a glance of her in person.

And one of them was 'Jiwoo'.

She was a pretty ordinary girl, but she was witty. People said, that this girl gave answers to every questions differently, and somehow always got the best results.

Jiwoo, however, after rejecting many young people's proposals for her charming looks and witty brain, was still unmarried and searching for her true love.

The one who understands her, and her desires.

After having a glance of the famous artwork of 'the beauty of the town', Jiwoo knew, that she was the one.

And thus, one afternoon, she went to the depths of the nature, 'the forests of beauty' where Bae was said to be inhabiting.

Jiwoo was nervous, she of course, like any other person, knew about the test, but that wasn't the reason of her nervousness. She was nervous to witness the beauty, 'Bae', with her own eyes.

"Oh how beautiful were her red lips, looked like God must have crushed and applied fresh rose petald to them."

"Her hazel eyes, they looked like a pool of honey, how could someone be so unnatural, so strikingly beautiful."

Thoughts like these floated around in Jiwoo's mind as she continued her journey.
The smile on her face never leaving, for the first time she was happy.

After Jiwoo reached her destination, which was infront of a beautiful tree house, she nervously waited for the right moment.

After she calmed down, she took a giant pebble in her hands and threw it at the door, which made a 'knock' sound in the eerily silent forest.

That's when Bae stepped out of the house and walked down the stairs, blessing Jiwoo with her presence.

Jiwoo couldn't keep her eyes off the brunette. "Much more beautiful in actual life" he said as he took Bae's hands and kissed them.

"I'm just another girl, who came to your door, in hopes of love" Jiwoo smiled and showed her cute dimples which Bae kind of founf unique.

"Giving away something so precious to you, isn't easy young girl. I hope you know about the test and the consequences of failing it.." Bae said with a mischievous smirk on her face.

"Of course I do, my dear.." Jiwoo replied with a smile, this time a bigger one.

"Aren't you afraid, young girl?" Bae asked while plugging some white roses from near the three bark.

"I'm not, after I witnessed your beauty with my own eyes, I'm somehow more confident" Jiwoo replied, actually confidently.

"Well.." Bae said smiling as he handed the white roses to Jiwoo.

"You must make the roses red without adding any artificial color to it, if you successfully do, then I'm all yours Miss.." Bae said while almost staring straight into Jiwoo's soul.

"Jiwoo" she said while smiling to herself. Suddenly, she took out something sharp from her backpack. It was a pocket knife.

Then Jiwoo said "All for you my love, I give my life to you." And in no second, she slid the knife and cut her neck and yet, Jiwoo had a peaceful smile on her face.

The blood painted all the white roses red, and hence, she passed the test.

With a satisfied look plastered on Bae's face, she knew, that she got her true love, after searching for a whole decade, and killing approximately more than a hundred men.
Finally, someone who isn't selfish for her own good and someone who can sacrifice her life for her.
Finally someone who jusy didn't love her outer beauty but actually loved 'her'. "Jiwoo" Bae said with a faint smile on her face.

Bae bent down and picked up the now dead body of Jiwoo, who had a smile on her face with her beautiful dimples in a bridal style, and kissed her on the lips.

"Now you are mine, and I'm yours, forever till the eternity.." Bae said as she took the white roses and tear her own neck with the help of the thorns in the stems.

No one will ever forget this, the whole kingdom will never forget about the test.

"To paint my roses red, someone has to lose his head"
