Minsook's P.O.V.

Everything is cold, my body is numb, I couldn't move, I feel exhausted.

I opened my eyes and found myself lying in a old bed in a old abandoned room as the moonlight peeked through the wrecked window. My eyes scan the place, it actually looked like it's abandoned in years that the wooden ceiling started to loosen up and numerous cobwebs can be found almost everywhere together with an old wrecked guitar placed not too far away from the bed that I am currently lying on.

Goosebumps start to form around my arms, fear slowly creeping inside my chest when I hear the sound of something sharp is being scraped on the wooden floor, and the fact that the sound actually came from near the foot of the bed terrified me the most.

No, this is just a nightmare, wake up Minsook! Wake up! I try to shout it out, but I realize that I can't still move my body, as if it grew paralyzed. "Ring around the rosy..." a husky voice starts singing out of nowhere, sending chills down my spine.

"... a pocket full of poseis..." the voice continues as it grow louder together with the sound of scraping. "... ashes, ashes..." as soon the voice sings that phrase, I feel the foot of the bed shift as something, or someone, started climbing the bed.

"... we all fall down..." and within a blink of an eye, a girl was now hovering on top of me, the thing is, she obviously looks dead. Most of her features are hidden because of her hair sticking all around her face and the only thing that I can see are her widened eyes, as if it meant to scare me, and it actually did.

I can feel myself shaking under her stare, and I grow more terrified when she brought her icy cold hands to my cheeks, "Ah, what an innocent girl we have here..." she breathe out and I can even imagine her grinning. I want to scream, but it seems that I can't find my voice.

The girl looks like she's examining my face as her eyes continue to look at each of my features, thoughts start flooding my mind as I tried to think what she may be planning to do, but then I hear the sound of a guitar string being plucked.

As my eyes travel to where the guitar is located, there's no one there, rather the guitar is playing by itself as blood start to drip from the strings.

A hand suddenly roughly grabbed me by the neck, choking me - the coldness of it is enough to make my skin burn. I gasp as I realized that the girl have both of her hands around my neck, preventing me to breathe in even the smallest amount of air.

I try to move my body to push her off of me, but my body still won't budge. Tears start to bream in my eyes, What is exactly happening? I thought - I am fully aware that this is just a nightmare, however it feels real.

Wake up, Minsook, wake up!

Out of blue, even though tears are now blurring my sight, my eyes caught fingers, almost the size of a toddler's fingers, gripped on the shoulder of the girl before a face of a young boy peeks, but instead of seeing a cute little toddler, the young boy's face looks pale, paper-white to be exact, big and dark circles are visible under the boy's eyes, and his irises are pure black while the wide crack on his forehead wasn't left unnoticed.

"Noona, who is she?" The unknown boy asks, eyes are on my helpless state, I myself is surprised because I still haven't passed out even though the grip on my neck is too tight. The girl didn't remove her gaze on me and replied the boy's question without sparing a glance at him. "Ah, my precious Kyunwoo, you're here! And oh, her? She's just a visitor," she says before her grip around my neck tighten even more, it feels like my bones could break any minute by now.

The boy doesn't say anything before he start crawling out of the girl's back and proceed to crawl towards me. Tilting his head ever so slowly, the boy watches me in amusement as he licked the blood that flowed down from his forehead down to the side of his lip, probably having fun seeing me suffering.

Sobs are now escaping my lips as my lungs beg for air, I don't think I can still hold on much longer, I thought as I feel my eyes rolling back together with drool escaping the corners of my mouth.

A dark chuckle echoes through the room and before I completely passed out, I heard the girl uttered something under her breath.

"Good night and sweet dreams, Minsook," And with that, everything went black as I hear a distant sound of ringing.
