It had been an hour since Jin Ae laid awake in her bed, she twisted and turned in her bed but was no where sleepy. There were too many thoughts going on inside her head.

What happened today wasn't usual. This was the first time something so creepy happened and she was sure the place she met the dark entity wasn't even the spirit world. This place didn't even have a tiny ounce of life in it.

And if thinking about that wasn't enough, there was Yoongi's weird behavior and Namjoon's silly argument to deal with.

But above all the she had her own fears to deal with, the fears she kept buried were coming back again.

 

Jin Ae woke up to the annoying sound of her buzzing alarm not remembering when she drifted to sleep.

Quickly getting up, she rushed through her daily mundane to reach her university on time. It had become a daily habit of hers to reach late to the classes.

Running through the corridors, she reached her classroom along with her professor who could only sigh looking at her. Disheveled hair, dark circles around her eyes, her attire was also the same as always -  white.

"Are you into cosplaying?" - Namjoon questioned when Jin Ae took her seat beside Namjoon.

"Huh?" - Jin Ae didn't quite catch on to what exactly was going around her, she was busy gasping for air. All the running she did to get on time was showing it's effect now.

"Nothing." - Namjoon mumbled before turning his attention back to the lecturer.

"Are you still pissed ?" - Jin Ae questioned once she relaxed herself.

"I was never pissed." - Namjoon gave a flat reply, ending the conversation.

 

"Hey listen, I'm sorry for barging in uncalled yesterday." - Jin Ae whispered her apology in between the lecture, unable to concentrate. The lectuer was way too boring for her to ipay attention.

"It wasn't your fault, Tae as usual was being an idiot." - Namjoon replied, eyes still glued to the presentation shown.

"Ahhh" - Jin Ae replied,now playing with her pen, clicking it on and off.

"Will you stop doing that?" - Namjoon asked in a clearly irritated tone taking Jin Ae by surprise.

"What is wrong with you?" - Jin Ae snapped. She was trying to have a proper conversation with Namjoon but he kept pushing her away and now that she was minding her own business, he had problem with that too.

Namjoon stayed mum to her question, agitating her further.

"Look I told you sorry. Now I don't even know what I did to make you ignore me. But you know what it doesn't matter, it's better for you to ignore me. It will make both my life and your life easier. It's the only way both of us can stay happy." - Jin Ae burst out, too overwhelmed by her emotions. All the bottled up frustrations finding their way out.

Lucky for her, the bell rang right at that exact moment, letting her leave her place. Leaving Namjoon stunned, all he was trying to do was get back at Jin Ae for teasing him in the cafe.

Unaware about the things that were going on with Jin Ae, he had just chosen the worst timing of his life to play a prank on his friend.

 

"Jin Ae wait! It was a joke" - Namjoon finally said, loud enough for Jin Ae to hear it.

Jin Ae turned around in disbelief. 

"Are you kidding me?" - Jin Ae mumbled, quickly taking her bag and leaving the room, embarrassed.

Namjoon was quick to follow her out. He swiftly caught her wrist and pulled her into an empty classroom.

"What happened​?Is everything alright? I didn't know you would snap like that" - Namjoon mumbled with a guilty expression, unable to look Jin Ae in the eye.

"NO! Nothing's alright! Everything's a mess!" - Jin Ae replied in anger. Tears of frustration plus embarrassment b her eyes.

"Hey hey hey. I'm sorry. OMG don't cry!" Namjoon babbled, his awkward self making an appearance. He froze as soon as saw tears flowing down Jin Ae's face. His hands wanted to move and comfort Jin Ae but he couldn't move them, it was as if they were handcuffed.

"I'm not crying! Tears are just flowing down my face!" - Jin Ae argued, quickly wiping away her tears.

"Isn't it the same as crying?" - Namjoon questioned, looking at Jin Ae with a confused expression making her laugh in embarrassment.

"No it's not!" - Jin Ae shot back, giggling as she spoke.

"You alright?" - Namjoon finally asked after Jin Ae had clammed down, handing over his handkerchief to her to wipe away the tears.

"Haha yeah, things are just a bit tough right now." - Jin Ae sheepishly smiled taking his handkerchief, a smile which Namjoon never saw. A smile which could make the person next to her also unknowingly smile. It was such a contagious smile.

"You know you can share them with me. Even though I'm an idol and am busy at times, I sure have time for my friends." - Namjoon beamed a smile, his dimples making a grand appearance.

 

If only you could understand the world I'm living in

If only you lived in the darkness I do

 

"I know" - Jin Ae replied, her smile slowly dying down.

 

Namjoon left right after that class for a schedule, while Jin Ae continued her classes.

It was soon dusk and Jin Ae was on her way to her part time job when another vision terrified her.

Standing in front of her, amidst the black smoke was that entity, still faceless b

Chapter 31: Jeo Sung is so shady and always give me wrong impression most of the time. For an odd reason, I am seeing him in inhuman way like he is dangerous to be around her and he's using her for her own benefit. Jeosung is a complicated character tbh.

Chapter 31: * stares at all the new twists and turns with wide open eyes O_o*

Hmm...one thing for sure, Jeo Seung is definitely not a MORTAL!
All the ghosts bow down to him?
Who is he or What is he??? @_@

I feel so bad for Jin Ae. She had a really terrible day. Although I don't totally trust Jeo Seung with her, I'm glad he was there for her at the end and that she let out all her emotions with him. I hope she feels better with time.

And whatever Jeo Seung said about the miracles, blessings and curses in disguise, he seemed to have a point in that.
But what did he mean when he said that he was with her since her father's death and will be, till her last breath?....it gives a shivering feeling to me.
Does he mean to be some guardian to watch her over..?

But again! Than he also warned her NOT to trust him or his words!
What is he exactly playing at.... @_@

And this new addition Keres! She seems like a intriguing character! She may feel like a kid, but does posses darkness. What does she want to possess Jin Ae's soul??
That too she called him brother and also spoke his uncertain death?
Now Jeo Seung's life is on the line??

Wow! This chapter has definitely plunged me into questions!! But I'm surely enjoying it! ^^
I like how you are showing more and more of Jeo Seung's character, but in a steady manner.
Also, the whole mention of miracles, devils and ghosts seem to really set the story in a good supernatural set! :D Well done!
THANKS A LOT FOR THE UPDATE AUTHOR-NIM!^_^
ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE LEFT ME WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS I AM REALLY DIGGING FOR MORE! XD



I know the past couple of days have really been difficult for us...
It was a really unfortunate incident to occur and as you said, those particular words have certainly left a different imprint on our hearts.
Stay strong author-nim! And don't worry about the story. Take your time to get back in the form.

Chapter 31: Writing has been difficult for me this past week as well. SHINee was one of my first kpop groups because of the Boys Over Flowers ost and that drama had been my second kdrama. The group meant a lot to me. I'm not a huge fan of SM as a company but the artists under them were all my favorites so Jonghyun's passing has thrown me off balance for a lack of a better term. But I'm slowly feeling myself get back to normal, especially because I've been spending time with loved ones. I really loved this chapter especially because we learn more about Jeo Seung and the little girl who we now know is Keres. This is putting me on the edge of my seat!

U wrote the emotional paet so well. Kudos to you :')

Chapter 30: NOOO!!!NAMJOON!!!!
Get a grip on your thoughts!
Damn! He has given rise to so many MISUNDERSTANDINGS!!

Seriously, this was the most angst and dramatic chapter ever! Strangely....I like it..:P....

But it was heart-wrenching to see all of them getting hurt thought! T^T
Silly Namjoon! He has no idea about Jin Ae's and Yoongi's world, but instead comes up with such theories....even when she told him the truth...I was expecting him to blow-over like that!
Feel really bad for his heart though...he seems so ignorant of the truth and so broken now...
(I was clutching my hair at his assumptions>_<)

And poor Jin Ae, as if her life was not already messed up, now has to deal with these new chaos!
His words sure did seem like bullets ripping her apart from the inside...
And he didn't even here her confession!

While Yoongi is like always! Trying to hush his pain out even if he is dying from the inside in doing so.>_<
Although I'm glad he didn't say anything harsh to Namjoon in anger! He seemed to handle the situation well...
I hope things will turn around for him.....

And last but not the least..Jeo Seung has appeared! Wonder what he is up to with the other guy....:/

The feels of this chapter really got me though!! O_o
You really topped the drama author-nim!! Good Job! ^_^
I seriously would love such more drama from you....But right now, I so want the things to clear up between them!!
(But I'm ready for drama....:P)

Thanks for the update!!<3
