Hayoon's pov
i've never received a confession this fast after knowing someone for a short time only. Jaemin was fast asleep now since he was really tired and warned me not to get out of the basement.

to make sure i won't , he tied his shoelace around my hand and connected it to his.

but he is just plain dumb.

i untied the lace around my arm and sneaked out of the basement. before walking any furthur , i clasped my hands together and murmured , "i'm sorry if me and my friends offended you all by entering your territory. please just let me out and i promise to act like nothing has happened here."

after murmuring those words that made me feel a little better , i walked around the first level to find the exit.

when i say a ray of light coming from a door , i went towards it and peeked. it was a room. with a silhouette of a woman.

when the woman turned around , i immediately recognised it was the princess. without hesitation , i bowed down as a sign of respect even though it was just her spirit.

"your highness." i said. "why did you come here?" she asked. i can hear her. clearly. and see her well too.

"i apologise for me and my friends barging into your family's castle. the reason why we entered was because we didn't believe it ghosts and wanted to explore the castle. it's a horrible mistake we've made."

"you know me and my brothers killed your friends , aren't you mad at us for doing that?" she asked.

"if i have to be honest , i am. but i know you all had a reason to do so. it's something we can't avoid." i replied.

"do you want to live?" she asked. "if i had the choice , yes please." i said. "i can't let you leave for free. you're gonna have to do something. is thay okay?"

"what is it?" i asked. "once i say it , you have to do it. there's no turning back." she said and i nodded without hesitation. "i'll do it."

"HAYOON ARE YOU NUTS?!" Jaemin's voice was heard. "fool stop!" the princess yelled and pointed at Jaemin making him hit the wall.

"Jaemin stay out of this!" i yelled. "i'm sorry your highness. he doesn't know anything. just tell me and i'll do it." i said.

"HAYOON WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Jaemin asked. i ignored him and nodded at the princess so she could tell me what it is.

"i know you guys are living in the basement. at the very corner of it there are a bunch of nettles that grew there ever since the castle was abandoned. i want you to sew up shirts and dresses of my family members' sizes and lengths and bring them to our own rooms laying it on the bed. you'll know which room belongs to which member with the portrait on the wall above the bed. you are warned that once this guy touches your handmade clothings , you have to redo it. is that clear Hayoon?"

nettles? that plant with sharp leaves that makes your hand sting once you touch the leaves?

"i'll agree to do it but may i know why do you want clothings made out of nettles?" i asked. "because , it will free us from this castle together and we'll be able to live as a family up there. if we leave now , we'll forget one another and not live as a family." she said.

that's so sad..

"you have my word your highness." i said. "good , there's already a set of sewing kits you'll need down at the basement next to the nettle plants. good luck and don't forget what i said."
