The next morning Hyejoo woke up because of YooA's loud yelling. Training. She wished this time had never come.

She felt too tired. She hadn't slept much the previous night. She was thinking. Of what YooA had told them, of her feelings, of Chaewon, of her friends, her family, future that always scared her. Everything. She was overthinking. She tended to do that. But last night she was overthinking too much and it led to not sleeping that much.

She wasn't looking forward to training. It wasn't just the fact that she hadn't slept much or that she had a terrible sleep or that it was still too early for her liking. There was the fact that she couldn't accept all these so training meant that she had to accept her fate anyway. Then, there was the fact that she was going to be training with the girls and she really wished she wouldn't. Especially with Chaewon. She... felt guilty for some reason. She didn't want to accept it to herself but she felt guilty. And being around Chaewon made her feel weird lately.

She groaned, stood up from her bed, wore some loose clothes and went to the living room. There, were the rest of the girls, Chaewon included, of course, and they were all waiting for Hyejoo who was the last one. As always. She didn't like the attention she was getting, the stares and all. Especially from Chaewon. But she tried to ignore them.

She might wasn't that talkative the previous day or lately in general but right at that moment she felt too grumpy to not say anything.

"Ok let's get over with it." She mumbled and tied up her hair in a messy, high ponytail.

"Yeah well, I can't help you much in here. And since Yeoreum is back, you need to break the curse first. When Hyejoo will turn into a vampire, you'll have to face the curse and break it. Nightmares. You have to face nightmares. So, for now, I can only help you with that. To be able to bear the nightmares that the curse will make you face." YooA said and the girls nodded.

"What nightmares?" Hyunjin asked.

"The ones that the ghosts faced as well. They might be afraid now, to face them again, but that's the only way to break the curse." YooA said and the girls nodded once again.

"Ok let's start with the basic things!" YooA said. And that was how their daily, tiring training started. They were training their stamina and strength at first. Then, their speed, ways to fight and more.

It had been tough. To all of them. They were still weak and they still haven't managed to release any of their powers or to even communicate with their powerful selves. At least not all of them.

Days passed by and Hyejoo was getting more and more tired. Training was hard. But something in her told her that it was going to get worse. Especially when she was going to transform too.

Ah, that. She had been on edge lately. And as the days passed by she had been more and more on edge. She had a lot of mood swings too but she kept it all to herself. Being harsh and all when in reality she just wanted to cry, run away and go home.

Home. She missed her home. Her family. Her mother that always cooked nice food for her, her father that always came back from work and hugged her happily. She knew she wasn't the best daughter, since she was a bit harsh to them and didn't actually respect what they did for her that much. But since she was trapped in that cursed house, she felt otherwise. She wished she could go back to her home and say sorry for being stubborn and not easy to handle daughter to her parents. Hug them tightly and cry in their arms. But no, she couldn't do that. She was stuck in that house and she was going to suffer.

"Hyejoo! Back to practice please!" YooA said and brought her back to the real world. Hyejoo rolled her eyes and sighed tiredly. She was really tired and lately she would snap really often and to everyone. And right at that moment her victim was YooA. Most of the time it was her. Then it was Hyunjin or Sooyoung, it depended on who got on her nerves first, and then the rest of the girls. She had even yelled at Chaewon once. But then she felt really horrible and kept her distance more from the older girl.
