"So I guess it's a no?" he asked, still not looking me in the eyes. He was like a covered book, nothing about him gave any clue to what was hidden beneath.

The only thing I knew other than his name was that he would always be here at the edge of rationality and insanity, dipping his sore legs in the cool calming waters of the Han River.

We were polar opposites.

He was supposedly a cold blooded killer and I was nothing more than a goody-two-shoes who always did as she was told... Or more like a weakling who did whatever she was forced to do.

I continued to tap my feet in the rhythm of fours as I shut my eyes.

Their blurred faces began to suffocate me.

The fingers they pointed seemed to grow longer as I shrunk to the ground, my face hidden in my knees

Voices began to surround me, voices deaf to my calls for help

Even if there was a thin spider's web, please let it reach me so I can escape

Escape their evil eyes, vile mouths, and disgusting faces

Even if it's nothing more than a thin brittle spider's web, just please let it reach me

I don't care if it's a trap, I'd rather be killed by a temping villain than at the hands of those that blamed me for all that was wrong with the world

The blurred sounds began to grow louder

Just make it stop

.

.

.

Just make-

My eyes jolted open and I raised my knuckles to my temples

Without thinking, I punched my temples with my knuckles while repeating the phrase "Chen, Chen, Chen..."

I didn't know why I did it, but his name was what helped me correct all wrongs

Was I going insane?

Was I going insane?
