By the time the call ended, 10 minutes had already passed and Jin Ae was fast asleep, her head resting on the table. Soft snores echoed in the empty cafe. Yoongi removed the strands of hair covering Jin Ae's face, slowly studying her features. For the first time in a while he felt at peace but as he got consumed in his thoughts, his peace turned into anxiety and worry.

 If just watching her sleep could bring him such peace what would staying next to her be like?

"Get a hold of yourself! What are you thinking!" - Yoongi questioned himself, snapping back to reality.

Yoongi cleared his throat before calling out Jin Ae's name - "Jin Ae - shi?"

There was no way Jin Ae would get up so easily.

Realizing that him calling out Jin Ae's name would have no effect, Yoongi resorted to the next best method.He gently shook Jin Ae out of her slumber causing her to straighten up in an instant. It had become a reflex action for her to get up like that since she was so used to getting caught sleeping everywhere from the subway trains to her classes. 

The moment Yoongi saw Jin Ae get up like that he couldn't stop giggling.

"Stop it, I wasn't sleeping " - Jin Ae replied seeing Yoongi's reaction.

"Wipe the drool off your face before telling that" - Yoongi teased still giggling.

Jin Ae quickly wiped using the back of her hand.

"I didn't drool, did I?" - Jin Ae questioned after a second.

"Nope" - Yoongi replied with a smirk, annoying Jin Ae.

"Yoongi shi, just wait and watch. I won't let this pass by so easily" - Jin Ae warned, getting up from her seat, picking up the empty cups.

"I'll be waiting Ms Song Jin Ae shi" - Yoongi shoot back quietly following Jin Ae.

After 5 minutes both of them walked out of the cafe still bickering.

"I swear I'm going to come up with an awesome plan to get back at you" - Jin Ae scoffed.

"Hahah we will see about that later. It's time for me to leave for now. Good night Jin Ae shi" - Yoongi replied with a soft smile before turning his back and walking his way not giving Jin Ae anytime to reply.

"He should at least let me have the last word, how dare he walks away like that!" - Jin Ae mumbled to herself before heading in the opposite direction.

 

Jin Ae hardly taken a few steps forward when she got the first few glances into the future. A pregnant women in her mid 20's crossing the road. A white Sedan. A pool of blood on the road which shimmered under the sunlight.

It took quite a while for Jin Ae to snap out of the sight she just saw. She always loved watching the shimmering water under the sun since it reminded her of the warmth that was missing in her but watching the blood glisten under the sunlight was a sight she would never want to witness again.

 

With a heart filled with the fear of what she was soon going to witness, Jin Ae continued on her lonely journey back home. At least the warmth of her bed could put her mind at ease for the time being, that's​ what she wished for but sadly not all wishes come true.

She twisted and tossed on her bed. As the time moved forward, her agony also started growing stronger. The recent events of all these deaths were slowly taking a toll on her mental health. It seemed as if the souls whom she helped leave this world were taking a part of herself and leaving. She was slowly losing herself and she didn't know how she was supposed to stop it.

 

 

If she could even stop it?

 

 

 

 

"Yah! Jin Ae!" - A loud bang on her door woke her up from her sleep.

"Yah Song Jin Ae! You are late again!" - Haru yelled.

"5 minutes Unnie~ " - Jin Ae tried to sound cheerful, the last thing she wanted to do was discuss the things going on with her.

"Alright, I'll drop you off to college today. Have some work there. Come quickly."

 

10 minutes later both the girls were jamming to their favorite song in the car. If there was anyone who could make Jin Ae feel at ease it was Haru. They had a bond closer than any blood relation. 

"Why was your friend Jeo Seung in front of our house the other day?" - Haru questioned out of the blue

"Huh? Jeo Seung? " - Jin Ae replied, her mind buffering on the event.

"Ahhhhhh.. he came to talk about some girl he  is with" 

"He comes to your house at 11.30 pm to talk to you about some girl he is with?" - Haru shot a questioning look, not believing Jin Ae.

"I'm serious! That guy is really weird! Always finds the oddest timing to meet me and you know what! He always says these 'out of the blue' statements but surprisingly they always turn out right" - Jin Ae yammered on and on about the instances where Jeo Seung's sayings turned out right.

"Does he know about you?" - Haru worriedly asked.

"Know what about me?"

"The 'seeing the dead' thing" 

"NO! NO! Only you know about it and I plan to keep it that way. Jeo Seung is the only friend I have in college and if I tell him about this I'm sure he will stop talking to me thinking I'm some psycho" - Jin Ae quickly answered, the thought of losing Jeo Seung made her break into cold sweat. Though he was rarely in college but as weird as it seemed, he was always there when Jin Ae used to have any major crisis.

"Yah! Don't lie! What do you mean Jeo Seung is your only friend? What about my dear Namjoon? huh?" - Haru jokingly glared at Jin

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!

There are so much things going on between jiae and namjoon and yoongi. I am trying to digest every single thing here hahaha guess I am er when it comes to emotional and complicated relationship . 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
