I felt the world stop, rousing me from fitful sleep.
I looked about, breathing in deep.
I am home, been so for years.
Still I am anchored, weighted there.
My sense of the Watchmen is strong;
I am wrapped in their gaze. The sense lingers
Even as I leave my seat and stand on my two feet.
I see eyes, eyes everywhere;
I hear voices, a song with endless verses.
The music is a ringing in my ears.
My body walks, my hand writes;
Still my bones shake, struggle for flight.
Away from the eyes, the voices, and the fire...
My memories carry me back...
Back to that accursed place
Back to that sorrowful face
And the Horror! 

The Horror—
—I cannot name.

Chapter 4: Lee Jinki must have been used as a tool in a political marriage by the monarch. Back in those days, someone really close to the monarch, especially family members, can be trusted which such heavy task. And Lee Jinki is someone who is such.

Hmmm. Are the rest trusted by the Queen too? Will it have a sudden twist that they're also part of a secret sect under the Queen? Aside from the weird relationship they have going on here? If so, each person must have a a specific role/task to play.

Why did it felt like for a moment, Ji Soo somehow went back in time while in the yellow room? I have my eye on that embroidery in the sheets. There's this feeling that I'll see it in the later chapters.

Kibum and deadly butterflies. Somehow it seems fitting. Going back to my theory...hmmm...he's not using it for weapons, is he? Or if not, then that's one interesting hobby he has.

Goosebumps all over my body. I'm highly anticipating the next chapter!

Chapter 3: House tour!

Rooms:
At first, I thought the yellow one with insects had to be Taemin's. Don't ask me why, it just popped into my head.

Room with knives must be Kibum's. Or Minho. But my guts is pointing towards Kibum. (Knives and dogs? Bad idea. Doesn't make sense to me also. Hahaha. Even insect collection and Taemin. Its what my gut is telling me though. I must follow it. XD )

Then the room with rug. Minho's or Jjong's. And the fourth one is Jinki's. Actually, I forgot that Jinki is even Kang's grandfather. (OTL I need to read from the start again.)

Ah, I want to see what Jjong's room looked like. The house must have been beautiful! Hair-raising creepy but hauntingly beautiful.

So will it be Kang's grandfather Jinki with his wife and their four consorts? The people of their time must have been scandalized! ?
