"Is it?"

Haerin shuddered. She looked at her friends to see if they heard it too, but all of them were excitedly jumping around, finally happy that everything ended. The feline blinked a few times and glanced around. "Did you guys hear that?"

Danielle hummed. "Hear what, baby?"

The hero gulped and tried to hear that voice again, but nothing came. "Nothing. I must be hallucinating." She concluded and walked a bit further behind the group, a bit confused.

Did she imagine that?

The next few hours were a blur. All that Haerin did was eat in their apartment, listen to Taehyung's bickering, how Danielle was defending her, while Minji and Hanni were laughing at each and every sentence being shot back and forth.

"I just can't believe that my niece was the hero of Seoul all this time," Taehyung murmured through his teeth, crossing his arms and averting his eyes elsewhere.

Haerin rolled her own, a bit nauseous and uneasy. Then, she closed her eyes and saw a flash of Minho staring back at her. "Ah!," She yelped and almost fell out of her chair. The feline closed her eyes again, but saw nothing now.

"What happened?!," Danielle dove into the issue right away, grabbing Haerin's shoulder and looking at her intently. Minji was also next to her, others looking concerned.

"I think I'm having PTSD," The feline said and pinched the bridge of her nose, shaking her head at the absurdity of it all. "Today I thought I heard Minho's voice—now I closed my eyes and I saw him," She confessed and worried her lip, concerned about her own psyche.

Hanni raised a brow. "What? Do you want to go to therapy? All this hero stuff, and seeing deaths probably messed up your mentality," Everyone started thinking about that, slowly agreeing with Hanni. She had a point.

The feline shook her head. "No, it's fine. It will go away after some time."

"Are you sure?," Hyein asked worriedly. "If something like that happens again, tell us. It might affect your psychology, you know.."

A nod was all she received. Then, Haerin stood up and walked to her room, confirming everyone's thoughts with verbal statement. "I'm gonna sleep."

"Do you want me to come with you?," Danielle asked, but Haerin shook her head.

"No, don't worry. Enjoy your time guys, I'll just nap and come back after I'm not tired anymore." True to her word, Haerin walked inside her room and laid down, sighing. She really missed sleeping in her bed without worrying what vile villain would ruin her day. Or week. Or a month.

The feline sighed and closed her eyes, seeing nothing but darkness. She slowly felt her conscious slipping away, resulting in deep slumber.

Then, she reopened her eyes, finding it a little too painful to lay on her bed. She looked down, only to see nothing but blackness underneath. "What the?" She questioned and stood up, looking around and seeing nothing. Genuinely nothing. Everything was black and it was making her think she was blind. But, when Haerin looked down at her own hands, she could see the color of her skin, along with her bone structure.
