"Stop scribbling on the walls, Elenora, please eat something." Amaara looked at her sister who had lost herself completely in a few days. Soha met Amaara and told her about the bet and how Jungkook had left Elenora, but she had conceived everything to be true and not ready to accept the reality.

Jong-su entered the room and frowned when he saw Amaara struggling with Elenora. "I don't like your sister here in my home, I already told you to admit her to an asylum so we can move to Spain soon." He took off his watch keeping it aside.

Amaara sighed, "My heart just cannot agree." She glanced at Elenora who was lost somewhere in her own world as she continued to scribble on the wall.

"Maybe they'll actually make her better or something, or another way is that you marry her to some nice guy I will find." He shrugged. Amaara shook her head, "She needs love not commitment, I think she needs time."

Jong-su rolled his eyes, "This way she will never get better, Amaara think of her betterment not as your sister love, the asylum will prove to be good for her future."

Amaara gulped and looked at Elenora who still didn't pay attention.

The car horns echoed as the screeching of the brakes was heard.

"Nora baby, shhh."

"Mama I am- scared- pl-please."

Her body frozen as she was trembling badly, her wrists felt tied as she struggled to free them. "L-leave."

A few whisperings near her ear grew louder and clearer as she felt a presence approaching her. Her mouth tied with the cloth. "Mama will you return?"

The screams grew violent as gunshots echoed in the open clear sky where no one else interfered. The little girl sobbed but her voice muffled.

"It will be over soon."

"How long?"

"Soon."

She tried to jerk her body upwards....
"End- i-it." Tears streamed down her face.

"S-stop-"

Her eyes flickered as she widened them. Another nightmare.

She trembled badly as she turned around to grab the glass from the bedside table.

"A nightmare, doll?"

Elenora flinched and sat up straight as Taehyung poured water from the jug to her glass and handed it to her.

She silently drank it.

"What was it about?" He asked.

"Nothing, just a paralysis." Elenora replied in a low voice.

"Hmm, someone came to meet you today." He started.

"Soha." She said.

"You didn't tell me about her." He raised his eyebrows.

Elenora's hands started shivering in fear. "I w-want- to tell you everything-"

"Tell me everything doll, I will listen, okay?" He caressed her hands softly.

Elenora started speaking to him with her voice breaking in between.

"I don't like your tears, doll." He wiped her tears with his thumb gently on her cheek.

"We'll make it fine."

"Love ruined me but friendship ended me completely."
