I was at the middle of reading my lecture for the day that was given to me by my governess when I heard someone playing the piano from the music room. The music room was located at the far end second floor of the mansion. It was a sad song. I tried not to mind it because I was just half of the book and my governess expects me to write a one hundred-page book report before noon. And it's almost eleven. I only have an hour left to finish reading. But the melody is alluring and curiosity fills me. I wanna know who the heck is playing the piano. I stay alone in this mansion for years. Mother and Father are always busy and they would just visit me in my birthdays. And I know for sure that today isn't my birthday. I only have maids, butlers and my governess to teach me. I doubt that a maid or a butler would have the skill and knowledge to play a piano. So I thought that maybe it was governess Lee Bo Young who is playing the piano. She's strict but she is the most intelligent person I've ever known, well I only know few people. I don't even have friends, all I have are books and this doomed mansion. But I know for sure the governess Bo Young doesn't play piano.

Unmindful of my actions I already gone passed the dark hallway and was already in front of the music room. How the heck did I get here? I asked myself mentally. Well I'm already here might as well open the door and see for myself who's the one playing the piano. I turned the knob resulting to an eerie sound and the door fully opened.

And there I saw a boy. Same age as me or a few years older. He continued playing the piano and now I can clearly hear the piece he was playing. It was my mom's favorite "Kiss in the Rain". I took a step forward. It felt cold and heavy. Aware of my presence the boy stopped playing. His hair was in the beautiful color of ash grey. I can say he's tall and has a strong built. His aura felt dangerous but tempting. Like I was a prey stuck in trance and was allured to my predator.

"W..who are y..you?" I asked him in low shaking voice. Almost like a whisper.

He placed his hand on the top of the piano and slowly raised himself from sitting.

"I am your fiance, milady." He said still with his back facing me. His voice was soft, calm and husky.

"W..what are you talk..ing.. about? You're my what? Fiance?!" I asked hysterically. How could that even happen? I'm still so young to have a fiance and I'm not ready for this. I still have lots of.. Wait. Why do I even believe him?

He turned around and our gaze met. His eyes were me deep within. It was in the light shade of red. Like he was staring through my soul. And I also noticed the mole near his left eye. I blinked my eyes feeling the strong attraction fill me.

"I really am. I'm not lying. Our parents have agreed to betrothed us." He said with a sly smile on his face. And now, I can clearly see his features. He's just a boy but I can feel superiority in him. Like he was bound to possess every little thing in this world. Intimidating.

"How am I supposed to believe you? I don't even know you. Not a single thing about you. So if you may just get the heck out of here before I call someone." I said forcing to sound like governess Lee Bo Young.

"Don't worry I'm just here to pay you a visit. I heard that you don't even have a friend. You must feel so lonely inside this mansion or should I say dungeon." He smirked, revealing his toothy grin. I realized I don't stand a chance against his charms.

"Just go." Were the only words I got the courage to say.

"Arasseo. I'm leaving but I'll be back soon." He said and walked towards me. I took a step back but he was faster that in just a second he was already in front of me with his hand caressing my cheek. A smile etched in his face. And then he whispered something.

"I'm not just your fiance, Shinhye. 'Cause I'm also your greatest nightmare."

And with that he was gone.

The very first stranger I ever talk to.
