Taerin was preparing breakfast for Minho and Minji it's only her at the kitchen since everyone was still sleeping. She's feeling a bit off yesterday but she's okay now that Minho talks to her, reassuring her. As usual he's a very good listener, keeping her calm.

"Good morning Taerin." Taerin felt a tap on her shoulders. She turns back and saw Hanna smiling so widely at her. Taerin greet back with a smile. "Did you sleep well?" she asked Taerin, pouring the orange juice that was prepared by Taerin. Taerin was taken aback by it that was so shameless but she couldn't care less.

"Not really."

"Even when sleeping next to Minho?"

Taerin stares at her. And what is her problem now?

"Sorry." Hanna chuckle, leaving the glass by the sink not even bother to wash it.

Damn what is with that manner?

"Taerin?" Both of them turns their back and there was Minho standing, smiling at his wife. "Taerin come and eat with me." Minho said dragging Taerin along. "Minho, Taerin is busy it's okay I can eat with you." Hanna said, stopping him. Minho raised his eyebrows as he tilt his head a bit, looking at the stove area. It was cleared there was no sign she's doing something. Minho just drag her along ignoring Hanna. Mrs Yoo and Eomma went out together this morning to sightseeing at the green tea field but Hanna refused to follow. They don't even know why.

Hanna take a seat next to Minji, facing Minho and Taerin. "Minji how old are you?" she asked, smiling.

"5." Minji replied short. She's hard to be close to strangers.

"Hmm I heard that you like the jjajangmyeon I packed for your daddy on the other day. Do you want me to make it again?" Hanna faces her, trying to talk to Minji again.

"Oh yes! It was so good. I've never had a jjajangmyeon that good." Minji commented, her face immediately light up. "Taerin is it okay if I pick her up from school today? I want to buy the things to make jjajangmyeon with her." Hanna said, taking a glance at Taerin who's eating silently. Taerin turns facing Minho, she nodded. "Sure. If Minji is fine with it." Taerin replied.

"Yay. See you Aunty Hanna. Don't be late or I'll sulk." She pouted.

"I'm late I'll go now bye sweetheart." Minho smiled, leaving a kiss on her cheeks. Minho signalled Minji to get ready for school.

Taerin placed the garbage at the bin in front of her house. She's still traumatized to go out. Even Minho doesn't allow her to go out that much, for her own safety but it's boring to just stay all day in her room waiting for him to come back and Minji. Plus that Hanna is in there and it's kind of awkward to talk to her.

"What if what Minho said was true? What if that was all my hallucinations? Gosh I'm not crazy. I swear I was grabbed here and? It disappeared?" Taerin said talking to herself while looking around.

She's still unsatisfied with it. She would want to know the truth. After 5 years of living here with peace, it can't just end up like this. Someone is trying to disturb her she knows it but who? It can't be Seungyoun.

"Please stop my mind is so fucked up." She said, squatting down feeling suddenly weak.

It's night and all the guests have went back Taerin could finally sighs in relieve. It was honestly suffocating to have people asking unnecessary questions to you. Minho is still doing his work on the other room while Minji is already asleep on their bed. She was a bit clingy today thus Taerin just let her sleep with them for tonight. Taerin went downstairs to get some milk before sleeping. She lean her back at the table top, chugging the milk down slowly.

She stares at the floor. Doesn't even know what is she thinking about at the moment.

Taerin heard a tap at the window located next to the sink. She tried to shrug it off. Maybe it's just her mind playing herself again. "Please don't come into my life again I'm so tired." Taerin sighs, closing her eyes for a while. She's too tired to even think about it.

The tap becoming faster. She refuse to even take a glance on it. "Leave...." Taerin said, crying while her knees weaken, she fell on the floor, hugging her knees.

Minho who was just there to take a drink was shocked seeing Taerin crying on the floor. He sat next to her. "Hey the chairs that I bought for you isn't enough? Why are you sitting on the floor babe? Get up let me help you." Taerin slowly get up while Minho hold her hands. "What's wrong? Why are you sobbing?"

"Someone was at the window. I swear." Taerin said, hugging him. She wouldn't want to look at the window. She could feel the presence.

"No one was there Taerin. Look." Minho slowly turns her to face the window.

Nothing.

As usual. Whoever started this just wanted me to look crazy. I swear there was someone tapping the window so loud and it could break. This guy just won't believe me.

"I'm concern about you Taerin."

"Are you still saying I'm sick? I still know myself."

"I'm not saying that you're sick! But as days passes by you're just proving the point that.."

"That I'm crazy? You wanted to say I have mental issues? Wow what a shock. You said you would be here for me. Forever but when these simple things happened you wouldn't just hear what I've gotta say! I'm so sick of you." Taerin yelled. She walk past Minho. Her heart aches so much why won't he just hear what she need to say? It's like asking for it to happen again.

They fought a lot lately because of Taerin seeing things.

"Taerin!" Minho shouted, following her from behind. "Come into my work room. Minji is sleeping right? Come here. I would like to talk." Minho ordered. Taerin sighs as she turns back, stepping into his room. Minho traces her steps, shutting the door. Taerin take a seat on the couch rubbing her nape.

"I will be installing CCTV. Just to see what did you saw and all. For that, we won't have to argue anymore." Minho said taking a seat next to her. Taerin looks away as she sense Minho is staring at her. "Taerin? I don't wanna fight please you know I can't if you don't want to talk to me? Baby, hey?" Minho cups her face, pecking her lips. "Minho...that was embarrassing." She turns red again. No matter how mad she is at Minho, he would just, know how to make up.

"I'm sorry. Okay? I'll help you. I swear." Minho put up his right hand, swearing.

"You seems to make fun of me whenever I said something about that. I don't know if you really would want to help me I mean? I'm normal... I am not hallucinating." Taerin said as her voice slowed down, hugging her knees once again. She curled up looking like a kitten.

Minho just look at her, not knowing what to say. He loves her too much it's concerning when she scream, shout alone.

When he asked her, the answer would still the same that is, "there's someone."

"No one would ever dare to disturb you or do anything bad to my wife as long as I'm here. You got me?" Minho said, cupping her face again. She nodded.

Please, make me trust you again.
