A new morning and Jisoo woke up as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping has become a dangerous thing. Her eyes greeted the early sun rays, allowing her visions to the night to give way to the day

Cold licked at her face and crept under her clothes, spreading across her skin like the lacy tide on a frigid winter beach. With purple lips tinged with chattering teeth, she wrapped her hand around tighter

Her feet were lying restlessly on the grass, her body was leaning against a tree, her face was pale. Even the rising sun was too weak to beat the coldness

Bit by bit, she eyed the serene sight with sorrows, still hoping she's dreaming. As her eyes came to the shining lake, she noticed a couple 

She's not alone 

' Excuse me !'
She rushed her feet towards them. Relief from not being lonely exaggerated her body

' I'm sorry to dist---mom?

Every part of her goes on a pause while her thought tried to catch up. It was a shock to find the lady was her mom

She stopped her step. She knew they couldn't see her presence

Sobbed in each other's arms, Jisoo could see the furnace of pains the couple endured. Hugging and crying. It was a kind of desolate cry that comes for a long farewell

She stood motionless, one thing came to her mind: who's the man? Little do she know she's in the tale

" I won't find someone other than you, I'll wait until we meet again. I promise "

After the man said that, the couple faded
Then came again

But the woman was different
She wasn't her mom

" She's dead"

Then, the couple faded again
and came a baby boy

The little boy has a precious smile. Jisoo smiled at him, he's cute

Then, came a sudden voice echoing the scenery

He'll be heartless

The voice was like the sound of God who's mad

He'll be heartless

In a blink, she found the baby has disappeared and the wind swirled for the second time. Jisoo closed her eyes

and yes, it's a miracle for her to wake up in her bed

It couldn't be a dream

Jisoo knew there's no time to waste. The full moon comes today

Jin, you don't deserve the curse
