_3rd P.O.V_

Red and blue lights continue to illuminate the maid café as one of the police officer refused to allow Jongsuk pass the yellow taped barrier. So, he does the next best thing and calls Eunah.

Her phone starts buzzing.

"Hi" Eunah answers with a faint smile as she gives a small wave to Jongsuk who's across from her.

"Hey. " He breaths out. "Are you ok?"

"I'm okay, nothing serious just-" she lifts up the blanket protecting her "shock." Eunah fakes a small chuckle trying to appear strong in front of her lecturer.

A moment of silence emerges, with Jongsuk not sure if he should ask about the event which occurred to the girl in the ambulance or, just brush it off and try talking about something else. However, Jongsuks train of thought and this soon to be awkward conversation was now derailed as Eunah takes the lead. "Jongsuk, why are you here?"

Jongsuk stumbles over his words trying to come up with a non creepy excuse as to why he's here. This shy and somewhat embarrassing moment will be the death of him, that was until he heard genuine laughter coming from the other side of the phone.

He stops his weirdness to listen to Eunah's laughter. A high pitch laugh that makes anyone who hears it inevitably smile.

Trying to control her laughter from his unintentional humour, Jongsuk suddenly felt a slow burn of an indescribable feeling. His heart beating ever so softly to the rhythm of Eunah's 'angelic' laugh.

"I'm glad you're alright Eunah." He smiles warmingly.

The student and the teacher continue to use up their minutes talking to one another. Oblivious to their surroundings, there's someone else in the dispersed crowd who's watching their relationship bloom into something unexpecting.

Satisfied with what he witnessed the stranger leaves smiling from ear to ear. The smile only used by those who thrive to see carnage, to feel the warm thick blood on the parm of their hands. They're the ones who become sexually aroused when creating new trauma victims. This smile is the last thing you'll see then, it's lights out.

_Eunahs P.O.V_

I couldn't sleep, staying up half the night thinking about what happened, those men, what they were planning on doing to me.

It makes you wonder what happened for them to turn out this way. Did they grow up in a loveless home, did someone introduce them to this type of lifestyle where this world is their playground and we're their toys, or is it simply psychological.

"Eunah did you hear what I said?"

The call woke me up from a daze. I look up from my untouched breakfast to see my mom waiting for me to answer.

"No?" I sheepishly look at her "I'm sorry. I didn't get enough sleep last night" running one of my hands through my hair as I rest my clean metal chopsticks on the table.

Guilt and concern washed over mom's face. "Oh honey there's no need for an apology-" she assures by placing her free hand in mine "I just wanted to know if you still feel up to spending the day with Taeyong, that's all."

I smile "of course I'll spend the day with him, we can go to those kid cafes-" I look to my brother "and then enjoy ourselves at the aquarium." Seeing Taeyong pick up the rice with his small plastic spoon and fail made me giggle, so I returned the joy by tickling him. He squeals.
