"Crazy...Am I really this much stupid? I was in the verge of a mental breakdown just because he scolded me? And now I'm here in this dark forest, alone and lost with nothing? And here I thought I was emotionally numb." I murmur to myself in disbelief, even though, no one asked for a summary but anyway.

The wind is wild and dank with foam. Darkness lingering but at least the moonlight is illuminating my surroundings for me to have a picture in mind. Should I thank God that rain stopped before it had even started or should I curse that how scary this is? The ground is wet, puddles of mud here and there. I sigh, stepping on a puddle accidentally which has just made my left sneaker soggy. My nose scrunches up as I mumble, "Oops wrong move." It's been so long, I'm wandering around but Yeonjun is still not coming? Does teleportation need location?

I shouldn't be blamed here. If Yeonjun didn't scold me then I would never get lost here. I'm not scared tho hahaha, "I'm too scared." My mouth is already dry and what if any wild animal eats me alive? Haha so what?-

My heart explodes, seeing a shadow a bit far away from me. I startle but then stare at the shadow properly. A boy- more likely a kid.

"Uh hi? Are you lost here too?" I ask. He moves slowly across, showing up. And as he steps into the pale light coming from the moon, I open my mouth in screams of horror.

At first, he looked like a kid. He is short and thin with pale blonde, spiky hair, wearing a dark t-shirt and straight legged jeans. He has a kid's body but his face is ancient. I mean, it is a terrifying old man's face. The skin is tight against his forehead and cheek-bones. Thin as paper and enough taut to see the skull underneath. He doesn't appear to have lips. His mouth hung open in a skeletal grin of jagged, cracked teeth. His eyes are dark and sunk deep into their sagging sockets. He starts stepping towards me slowly and creepily. I must run but I can't move a little bit. His eyes glow the same known shade of 'red'. I feel my insides screaming but my lips are japped together. I feel like I'm getting choked with panic, staring in frozen horror.

A familiar voice interrupts him from coming towards me, "STOP! I'm assigned to kidnap her." The creepy creature rasps, "but she looks tasty sir."

"I order you to vanish from here right now. Highness will ruin you if he gets to know that a slave of him is disobedient." The familiar voice speaks again but I can't see him clearly.

The a hundred and fourteen years old lookalike creature suddenly dissolves in the air. The figure comes close towards me and my body functions enlighten seeing Jaemin.

So many questions but I decide to shake them off. I'm able to move again and more importantly, I can go back with someone safe.
