It was around 11 at night and I'd decided to go for a walk around the campus, as I often did when I needed to think things through, or clear my head. This night was different. It seemed darker than usual as I made my was towards the wooded area, that was illuminated by the flood lights. It wasn't too far from the dormitory, so I figured a quick job would be okay. Everyone was asleep so I didn't bother to wake anyone up to inform them I was leaving. I'd be gone 30 minutes maximum and if anyone woke up and asked where I was I'd tell them.

The walk was peaceful as I took in the scenery. It was truly breathtaking, so much so I found myself staring up at the sky. So intensely I could have sworn I saw the man in the moon. I chuckled to myself and whispered "A man in the moon? I'll call him Taeil." My attention was dragged away from the night sky by a figure I could see looming in my peripheral vision. Their body was hunched slightly and they moved in the same way the figure from inside the school did. Putting two and two together I realized it was the same person.

In a flash the individual started sprinting towards me at an inhuman speed. I panicked and started running in the opposite direction. Weaving around trees and when I was sure it couldn't see me I quickly climbed the tree I was hiding behind. When it had ran past me and I was sure I wouldn't be heard if crawled back down, I did so. Only to feel a hot breath on my neck that made goose bumps form on my arms. They inhaled sharply before whispering in a low growl.

"Not so tough now you're on your own."
I was confused when I turned to see nothing behind me. Only to feel the same breath on my neck.
"Run."
The owner of the voice was taunting me. Chanting the word 'Run' over and over in my ear. What made it worse was that they spoke to me in Japanese. I felt my stomach churn and before I could think, I began running. After a few minutes of running I was out of the woods and only then did I look behind me to see if the person was behind me. To my luck I was completely alone on the sports field. I pulled out my phone to check the time and it was 12:09. I knew I had to leave. Clear my head and get away from everything that could cause me stress, so I headed back to the dorm to pack a bag.

Once I was inside the room I took my backpack and started putting clothes in it, as well as anything else I would need. When I had finished I quietly walked around the room and gently kissed each sleeping boy on the forehead before taking one last look at them and leaving. By now it was 1:27 and I decided I should find somewhere to spend the next few days, so I wondered into the nearby town in search of a decent hotel.

After wondering around for what felt like forever I found a cute little bed and breakfast called "Paradise". I cautiously pushed the door open and walked inside.
"Hello and welcome 'Paradise'. My name is Jungwoo, I'm in charge of this B&B." A cute little ball of UwU introduced himself as soon as I walked in.
"Hello, my name is Penelope. I was wondering if you had any rooms available for a couple nights." I replied, feeling bad for not using my real name. But I knew I had to use a cover name in case someone came looking for me.
"I think room 21 is available. I'll call someone to show you to your room once I've found the key," JungUwU spoke as he began looking in a draw in search of the required piece of metal. "May I ask why you're out so late?"
"My train arrived later than expected. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." I smiled sweetly at him, scratching the back of my neck.
"Oh, no it's fine. I'll just get someone to show you to your room," He replied as he went into an office looking room and picked up a phone. "Someone will be here in a moment." Within seconds a taller male appeared and introduced himself to me.
"Hello, my name is Lucas. I'll be showing you to your room. If you have anything you need feel free to ask me or Jungwoo. In the morning it will be Kun on the front desk and YangYang assisting him." He smiled as he led me up a flight of stairs and pointed towards the door to my room as he handed me the key. With that I thanked him and entered the room so I could sleep.
