"We need to tell Ryu" Hoseok said, gesturing to go but i stopped him by holding his hand. "Let's ask her about it first" I suggested and went closer to her.

"Im sorry but.. how did u survive?" I asked with manners. She looked up confusedly and answered. "Why are u asking me this kind of question?" She asked

"Because now the town is full with just kids!" I said "I know that" she nodded. "What do u mean?"

"It's not like i dont know my way home, but the war happened because of someone--" she covered her mouth and looked around. "What is it??"

"No, nothing. Im sorry but go away, i dont want anything bad to happens on me again" She shook her head and looked away, changing her gaze from us.

"Hold on, what do u mean? Who is it?"

"I can't talk. That person knows everything. Stop talking if u want to stay alive" She bit her lower lip and pulled the blanket. "You.. are not going to come with us?" i asked.

"Back to town? No, no way" She groaned. "I rather be here"

Hoseok stared at the woman and realised i was shivering because our clothes were wet and the wind hit our skins.

"Come, let's go" Hoseok said, pulling me by shoulder and turned around, going out from the place but we be stopped by her. "Dont tell anyone im still alive" She spoke.

"Another adult, she is a survivor, but she doesn't want to go to the town. Why is that?" i looked down to the stones and kept on thinking about it.

"Look, i brought you here not to think this nonsense thing. If she's really a survivor, why doesn't she come with us to the town, show herself to Ryu and live like she used to before the war?" Hoseok asked, sighing heavily.

"That's the question right now"

"Maybe she's just an immigrant"

"She's a korean duh!" I pointed to the direction. "It's just doesn't make any sense, im going to tell ryu about this" Hoseok scoffed and walked to me as he sat down.

"Wait no! The old woman said to not tell anyone about this. Which part u dont understand?"

"I dont understand why are u making this complicated. Ryu is the king, doesn't matter if he's just 27. He has the rights to know everything that happens here"

"Shut up! You brought me into this mystery world, and when im thinking about it, u will just fight, saying that it's wrong" My eyes turbed into diamonds, looking at him in such an angry way.

"I thought you were kind, helpful, cheerful just now. But everything messed up, thanks to you" I yelled and walked away from there.

As soon as we reached home, i changed my clothes and walked out from the house, making my way to Mary's house.

I entered, yelled out a greet to make sure anyone can hear me but nobody answered. I walked upstairs, to where Mary's room supposed to be and opened the door to see she was there, still in puppet form.

I sighed, walking to her but i stopped in sudden once i saw the mirror. I made my way to it and checked my eyes to see they were back to normal.

"I lose control, thank god it's not that bad. Or i will.. lose control forever" I placed a hand to my face and carressed it.

Afterwards, i went to Mary and lied down next to her, with a tear escaped from my eye. "I dont understand, i should be happy, having fun in my real world. But why am i here, helping this nonsense things? Why did i accept? Is it because Hoseok threatened me that time?"

I asked several questions, but for sure nobody is going to answer them. I was lonely eventhough i have Mary by my side, she's a puppet now, there's nobody i can express my feelings too.

The next day, I succeeded to turn seven kids to puppets and rested in the house. Hoseok wasn't there, as usual, went to see Ryu.

With the backpack filled with food, i went to steal Hoseok's car and drove it to where we went yesterday.

As expected, she was still there but different spot. She was outside this time, grilling the fresh fish on the fire. "That's tough" i smiled and bowed politely. "You are here again" she said and quickly looked around. "Did u bring anyone?!" She suddenly freaked out.

"No, no. Dont worry im alone" i said, smiling weakly. "Here, i have some foods for you. Stop doing that" i chuckled and took out every foods i kept in the backpack.

While eating, i lifted my head and looked at her. "Just tell me one thing" i said, biting my lower lip. "What?"

"If u can't say anything, just answer this one question" She was hesitated, but she nodded. "Just to payback your kindness" she showed the food.

"Why did the war start?" I asked.

"With the lies"
