Chapter 11
Do you love me?I'm sorry, Youngmin. I really am.
I was walking for quite sometime. Walking aimlessly, don't know where to go. I kept asking myself, where am I? Where is this place? I'm not scare or anything, it's just that, I'm curious. This place is very pretty, full of people. The people who looked friendlly. I stopped by a shop that sells pendents and things that looked magical.
