At 6.45 AM Namjoon was frantically pacing in the bed room shared by all the members, thankfully Jin and the maknae line were fast asleep while Jhope was still in the studio. 

Since the unexpected, bizarre phone conversation he had with Jin Ae, Namjoon hadn't got an ounce of sleep. 

'Why did Jin Ae need Yoongi's number at 4.30 in the morning? What in the world was so urgent that she couldn't wait till morning?" - this thought kept bugging him for the past few hours. Dying from the curiosity, Namjoon decided to directly go check up on Jin Ae. He quickly grabbed his phone and walked out of the dorm only to find Yoongi right outside.

 

 

"Hyung?" - Namjoon called out when he saw Yoongi standing there.

Suga just stared at him, not knowing what to do. If he would cut the call Namjoon would have noticed something suspicious.

 

"HELLOOOO! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING!" - Jin Ae yelled and her voice was loud enough for Namjoon to hear it.

"Are you talking to Jin Ae?" - Namjoon questioned Suga with a shocked expression.

Jin Ae could only gasp when she heard Namjoon's voice on the other end. 

"Y...yeah.." - Suga hesitantly answered and in a blink of an eye found out that he no longer had his phone.

Namjoon grabbed the phone away from Suga.

"Jin Ae! What the hell, why aren't you picking up my calls?" - Namjoon yelled before Suga could interfere.

"Namjoon ah, I.... I...." - Jin Ae was freaking out, not knowing what to answer. It's like her brain chose a very nice time to stop working.

"You what !?" - Namjoon shot back clearly irritated by the lack of response from the other side.

"Jeo Seung!" - Jin Ae yelled, " Jeo Seung... that guy..he..he wanted Suga's number!" - Jin Ae babbled, Suga at the back furrowed his brows at the mention of Jeo Seung's name.

Of all people why 'Jeo Seung!' - Suga thought, a WTF expression etched on his face.

 

"What?" - Namjoon questioned back, totally confused about the situation going on.

"Yeah...Ummm... Jeo Seung said he wanted Suga oppa's number quickly so I called you up...." - Jin Ae improvised her lie.

There was a nerve breaking silence for a few seconds before Namjoon replied - " At 4.30 in the morning, Jeo Seung called you up to get Suga Hyung's number?"  - Namjoon asked again, wanting to be sure that what he heard was right.

"Yes!" - Jin Ae replied in an instant.

"AT 4.30 IN THE MORNING?!" - Namjoon emphasized that part while Yoongi just face palmed himself at the back.

"Yeah, you know how Jeo Seung is right, that guy comes knocking at my door at 2.00 AM in the morning, what more can we expect from him?" - Jin Ae half joked, trying to get out of the situation she was trapped in, internally cursing Yoongi for not helping her out. But what she said about Jeo Seung was true, that guy was totally unpredictable, weird and always met Jin Ae at extremely odd hours.

Knowing how Jeo Seung was, Namjoon couldn't seem to doubt Jin Ae, after all why would she lie to him? They were good friends who shared everything with each other but one thing that pinched Namjoon a little was the word 'Oppa'. From when did Jin Ae start calling Yoongi, oppa? 

But Namjoon shrugged it off, maybe he was overthinking ...... Or maybe not?

 

The phone ended when Yoongi grew out of patience and demanded his phone back from Namjoon, telling him to call Jin Ae using his own phone.

Soon Namjoon was left alone standing in the hallway, his mind flooded with millions of questions and doubts. Why couldn't he shake off the weird feeling he was having, as if his hyung and friend were hiding something from him. Why did he have the feeling like he was about to lose his close friend if he didn't go anything...

 

 

Jin Ae paced towards the class, her anxious self wanting to find Jeo Seung quickly. Today was one of those days when she was happy that Namjoon wouldn't be coming to college because of his busy schedule because if he did, she would be in deep trouble.

 

"Jeo Seung!" - Jin Ae yelled when she saw Jeo Seung at the end of the corridor.

"Hey, you alright? You seemed a bit edgy last night?" - Jeo Seung smiled, recollecting the encounter he had yesterday with Yoongi.

"Huh? Oh yeah yeah, I'm alright!" - Jin Ae heedlessly replied, " But listen, I needed a favor from you"

"From me?" - Jeo Seung sounded a bit surprised - "And what might that be?" - Jeo Seung questioned back raising an eyebrow.

"Ummmm..... Just in case Namjoon asks you whether you wanted Yoongi's number, can you tell him 'Yes'?" - Jin Ae hesitantly answered.

"Yoongi!? You mean that pain in the 'Min Yoongi'?" - Jeo Seung huffed - " Why in the world would I need his number?" - Jeo Seung shot back, laughing because the situation sounded so funny to him.

"Just tell Namjoon, you called me to get his number. Nothing else" - Jin Ae elbowed him, not wanting to explain the whole situation she was caught up in.

"Oh, so we are lying to Namjoon now?" - Jeo Seung teased wiggling his eyebrows - " I thought you both were "close friends" and here your are lying to him about something relat

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
