A week had passed since Jin Ae and Jeo Seung had that weird talk. In these past seven days, Jin Ae had made deals with two souls and had successfully completed them too. The little girl who came in her dreams didn't make an appearance after that day.

 Namjoon on the other hand hadn't been to college. The only way Jin Ae could see Namjoon was through TV. BTS was making a comeback in a couple of days resulting in Namjoon being super busy. He had last texted Jin Ae 4 days back. Jin Ae knew how stressed out the comeback was so she too didn't go to text him after that.

Jeo Seung was following his normal routine of being present to class whenever he wanted. Jin Ae was now left all by herself in the class, a part of her was relieved but a part of her missed her friend Namjoon. Strangely she was used to seeing him sit next to her but now that the place next to her was vacant, she couldn't help but feel a bit sad. There was no one to wake her up when she fell asleep, there was no one to talk to when she was feeling bored.

 

"Hey do you mind closing up for me today? I need to go home early today." - Jin Ae's co-worker requested.

"Yeah sure, don't worry. I'll manage." - Jin Ae said with a bright smile.

It was almost the closing time of the cafe when a customer walked in. Jin Ae was about to tell him that the working hours of the cafe were over but stopped when she recognized the person standing in front of her.

"Hoseok-shi?" 

"Hahah yeah! Suga hyung was right, it is your shift time." - Hoseok exclaimed, his contagious smile making Jin Ae forget about her fatigue.

"Yoongi shi? How does he know?"  - Jin Ae asked out of surprise.

"I don't know, you better ask him." - Hoseok replied, wriggling his eyebrows in a teasing manner.

"Yeah, I should!" - Jin Ae tried to sound stern but ended up laughing.

"So what brings you here? Aren't you busy with the comeback?" - Jin Ae questioned after her laughter died down.

"Well that's why I'm here. I was wondering if I could get 10 coffees ?" 

"10!? Wow looks like many people are staying awake today." - Jin Ae replied, quickly going towards the kitchen area to start preparing them.

"Well yeah. Us 7 members, our manager and 2 other staff members." 

 

"Are you sure you can carry these?" - Jin Ae asked, worried because the paper bag carrier couldn't hold that much wait.

"Yeah, don't worry about it!" - Hoseok chirped as he picked the bags off the counter but kept it back when he realized that he couldn't carry them alone.

"I'll help you." - Jin Ae smiled.

Hoseok helped Jin Ae close the cafe before leading the way to BigHit. Jin Ae and Hoseok soon engaged themselves in small talks about the comeback and other stuff while walking towards Big hit.

 

"You sure I can enter?" - Jin Ae hesitantly asked when Hoseok told her to come with him to the dance studio where everyone was.

"You are with me, don't worry. Everyone will be happy to see you." - Hoseok assured before opening the door to the studio.

 

"What took you so long?" - Jin questioned as soon as Hoseok entered.

"I thought you went to collect the coffee beans yourself to make the coffee" - Suga replied while the rest of the members dragged their feet towards Hoseok to collect their drink.

"Why are there only 5 coffees, hyung?" - V questioned.

"Other 5 come with  a surprise!" - Hoseok chirped before going towards the door and pulling Jin Ae into the room.

"TADAAAA~ COFFEE WITH JIN AE~" - Hoseok yelled while Jin Ae waved an embarrassed 'Hi'.

"Noona~~~~~~~" - V yelled out of joy running to hug Jin Ae.

Jin Ae was taken aback for a second with the sudden hug but soon broke into a laugh when she saw Jimin drag Taehyung away from her. While every person in the room was smiling there were two people who couldn't get themselves to smile. Namjoon and Min Yoongi.

Yoongi had taken his coffee from Hoseok and walked off to the nearby music system which was attached to the laptop making himself busy with it. Namjoon on the other hand couldn't make an eye contact with Jin Ae even though he could see Jin Ae's pleading eyes looking at him. Jin Ae was unfamiliar with the place and no matter how welcoming the members were she still felt a bit uncomfortable.

"I'll be leaving now, you guys practice hard." - Jin Ae announced when she felt that she couldn't take it anymore.

"But you just came!" - V protested.

"Yeah but I gotta go and you guys need to practice." - Jin Ae replied with a straight face leaving no room for any excuses to make her stay.

"I'll see you off till the door." - Namjoon said, quickly getting greeted with shocked stares.

"Ahhh alright." - Jin Ae replied following Namjoon's lead..

 

"So how are your classes going on?" - Namjoon questioned once they were away from the room.

"Ummm... good..

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!

Chapter 30: To see this story unfold this way is giving me a rollecoaster feeling.. it feels so right and just so wrong at the same time. 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
