In less than a second the little girl was gone. The children in the playground didn’t notice at all. They just continued to play and have fun as their parents keeps an eye on them. The village’s owner, Mr. Min, was already on his way back to his mansion, fleeing the scene.  Every piece of him wanted to escape. Every piece of him wanted to get away from the witchcraft his sister has gotten in to and he could possibly get into as well. When he finally gets the life he wanted, why does she need to ruin it for him? What did he do to deserve the pressure of being visited by someone he did not want to see any longer especially with the oddities she has brought?

“Three, two,” Little Joohee stopped counting as she realized she has already returned. She was facing the same old tree she was at with a small thick bush to its right. She stepped back, getting startled a bit. It still works. She ran two meters away to the south only to spot Jungkook hiding behind a thick row of bushes. “I found you, Kookie!” She squealed as the boy stood up from his hiding place.

It wasn’t long before they spotted Yoonji along with Wonwoo by the old swing set. “Oh hey you found us!” The two cheered. “As if you two were even trying to hide.” Joohee commented as she sat on the swing, forcing her legs back before releasing it as her short legs swayed freely.

“Did you find Yoongi?” Yoonji asked.

“Yep. Old gramps wanted to go home early,” the younger girl answered.
