"Why are you coming in now Jeo Seung?" - the lecturer's voice echoed grabbing everyone's attention. At that exact moment Jin Ae fell onto the ground

"Jin Ae!?" - Namjoon yelped, rushing down to check whether she was alright.

"Jin- Ae- ah? Get up? Jin-Ae?" - Namjoon held tightly onto Jin Ae's lifeless body.  The warmth of her body slowly disappearing.

There was no way she could get up. Not until her soul found it's way back into her body.

"Jin - Ae!" - Namjoon cried out of desperation, looking around for his classmates to help him but all he got were blank stares from people. His close friends did gather around for the inspection of the situation but everyone kept their distance. No one wanted to get involved with a weirdo. The lecturer could be heard calling someone to help but he too kept his distance.

"MOVE!" - that one command made everyone move aside to give way to Jeo Seung.

"Jeo Seung.." - Namjoon's voice could hardly be audible now. He was shivering. Shivering out of the fear of losing someone close to him.

"Jin -Ae?" - Jeo Seung cooed, his hands slowly reaching forward to hold Jin Ae.

"Help her please." - Namjoon pleaded, he too couldn't reason why he was asking Jeo Seung to help him but at that moment it seemed as if the only person who could save Jin Ae was Jeo Seung.

"Jin - Ae ? It's alright."  - Jeo Seung kept murmuring, his hand firmly gripping Jin Ae.

With a loud gasp Jin Ae got up, whaling her lungs out, she yelled- "I KILLED THEM!" 

She bawled her eyes out, screaming again and again the same sentence - " I killed her. I could have saved her."

The word 'shock' wouldn't be enough to express the emotions her classmates were facing including the lecturer.

"What... what are you talking about!?" - Namjoon questioned, his mind running blank.

"I killed them!" - this was the only reply Jin Ae gave.

"Someone go tell the doctor to hurry!" - the lecturer shouted, frightened by the girl's sudden outburst.

"I'll go" - Jeo Seung volunteered and left the room.

"Jin Ae ah. It's alright. It was just a bad dream." - Namjoon tried consoling her, gently rocking her in his arms.

"This won't do. Take her to the infirmary." - the lecturer finally spoke.

 

 

5 minutes later with the help of Namjoon and another classmate of hers, Jin Ae was finally moved to the infirmary where they sedated her. 

"Is she going to be alright?" - Namjoon asked the doctor in charge.

"She had a panic attack so we will get to know that once she gets up itself. You should carry on with your classes. She going to be asleep for 2-3 hours now. They have spoken to her guardian as well, she is on her way here." - the doctor suggested.

"It's alright. I'll wait until her guardian arrives."

"Alright then. I have some other work to attend to so I'll be leaving for some time. If there's any emergency call me." -  with that said, the doctor left the room.

 

"What is troubling you so much?" - Namjoon questioned looking at Jin Ae who was under deep slumber - "What are you hiding ?"

 

"Why did my heart stop beating at the thought of losing you?"

 

 

 

"Jin Ae!" - Haru came in running into the room.

"What happened to her?" - Haru asked the boy sitting by the bed but was taken aback for a moment when she recognized him.

"She had an panic attack." - Namjoon calmly stated, getting up from his seat to let Haru sit down.

"A panic attack?" - Haru questioned again, surprised to hear the word 'panic attack'. Jin Ae had a history of having panic attacks when she was introduced to this new realm of dead spirits. She used to cry and shudder everyday. She wasn't able to fall asleep without taking any medications but as she got used to this new world her medications were reduced and she was some how able to lead a normal life. 

"Yes" - Namjoon replied, the flashes of Jin Ae screaming her lungs out crossing his mind.

"Ahhhh. It's alright. She will be alright." - Haru reassured when she saw Namjoon sulk looking at Jin Ae.

Namjoon just nodded his head in response before questioning Haru - " Are you Jin Ae's sister ?"

"Oh, well technically no. I'm just her guardian as we stay together and she has no one else to rely on." - Haru replied.

Namjoon wanted to question what Haru meant by 'no one else to rely on' but decided that the timing wasn't right.

"Oh, I'm Kim Namjoon. Jin Ae's classmate." - Namjoon bowed.

"I know who you are." - Haru grinned.

"Ahhh ... fan?" - Namjoon hesitantly asked with a embarrassed laugh.

"Yes a fan but Jin Ae talks about you sometimes which is rare since she hardly has friends. So I kinda know you." - Haru explained and smiled when she saw Namjoon's eyes pop out in surprise.

"She talks about me?" - Namjoon quickly questioned.

"Yes " - Haru giggled in response.

But before Namjoon could further question Haru, the doctor interrupted them.

"Oh you must be Jo Haru?" - the doctor questioned.

"Yes that's me."

"Namjoon shouldn't you be in class now?" - the doctor asked,a bit surprised to find Namjoon still in there.

"Oh I was talking to him so he couldn't leave." - Haru instantly explained, signaling Namjoon to leave.

"Ahhh yeah, I'll be leaving now." - Namjoon bowed to both of them and rushed out.

 

 

Jin Ae left with Haru back home after an hour. The whole way she didn't say a single word nor did Haru ask her anything. Looking at the condition Jin Ae was in, Haru knew things were worse than they looked.

"You alright?" - Haru questioned once they reached inside the confines of their house.

"Unnie.... what should I do now?" -

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
