[Areum's POV]
Day 3/21

I didn't know what came over me and I just snatched the pocket watch from his grasp, yelling at him.

"I stayed back in school for Joshua. Not you. I don't want to waste my time on you! I am leaving."

Before I could even take a step towards the exit, I halted with a flabbergasted countenance.

I just screamed... How- What- It feels like I'm changing... for the worst. No, I don't want that.

"Would you rather waste your time on me, or your family?"

I felt a warm yet wet sensation on my palm where the pocket watch laid. Looking down at it, it was dripping ink again.

Craning my neck, I could see Mingyu smirking from my peripheral vision.

Day 4/21

Escaping the mansion at midnight made me feel like a monster was eating me out from the inside.

Ever since the encounter of an immortal lacerating some female's flesh, it made me come to a realization that every place isn't safe at all.

You must be wondering why I've only realized it now.

Well, like I said, I couldn't leave the mansion whenever I liked, which means that I was stuck at home most of the time. In addition, school wasn't as dramatic as k-dramas. There weren't any murders in school or such things, that was why I thought the world was safe.

But it isn't, it's just that I didn't get the opportunity to see how dangerous it is.

Pushing aside the dread that clouded in my mind, I approached the pond.

I sat on the ground with my legs pulled towards my chest, feeling the grass and the soil beneath me as I admired the reflection in the pond.

A warm smile appeared on my face at the sight of a butterfly landing on my knee cap. And a familiar tune ran into my head.

아무것도 생각하지 마
[Amugeotdo saenggakhaji ma]
(Don’t think of anything)

넌 아무 말도 꺼내지도 마
[Neon amu maldo kkeonaejido ma]
(Don’t say anything, not even a word)

그냥 내게 웃어줘
[Geunyang naege useojwo]
(Just give me a smile)

난 아직도 믿기지가 않아
[Nan ajikdo midgijiga anha]
(I still can’t believe it)

이 모든 게 다 꿈인 것 같아
[I modeun ge da kkumin geot gata]
(All of this seems like a dream)
