The red eyes of the best kept staring at Victoria, her palm sweating, She couldn’t move at all and still frozen between the door. She shut her eyes tight and looks like she get ready to be eaten by the Beast. The Beast stood up from the bed, and showed it’s big and tall body, it also walk like a human with two feet on the ground. It walks closer to Victoria.

“Please… don’t eat me.. don’t eat me…” she said with stuttering voiced.

The Beast gripped the door and leave mark there. “…Didn’t I already warning you to leave without any sound?”

“I’m r-really s-sorry, I didn’t mean to.. I just…. Wait…” Victoria opened her eyes and look up staring at the beast. “You talked?!”

“Go away!” the beast shouted with groan.

“W-where’s the tall man Changmin? You ate him?”

“If you not go away now, I’ll eat you like the tall man.”

“B-but…”

“GO!!!”

Finally she could move her leg, she run to the main door and grab her scooter. But instead of went to the police station, she just went back to her home and met with her father. The father not surprised when his daughter just came back at the morning after delivered some order yesterday, because she was used to do that many times already.

“Victoria, maybe you just dreaming.”

“No! I swear! It’s huge with red eyes, gripped to the door, stared at me then... Boo! It talked~”

Her father sigh. “Go up to your room and take a shower. Daddy will make breakfast for you.”

Victoria stop her story and went up to her room and take a quick shower. After that, she came down to the kitchen with sulky face because her father didn’t believe a word that she said. When her father served the breakfast she still sulked with pouty lips. She ate the breakfast slowly, she don’t want her father sad just because she sulked and don’t want to eat her father’s cook.

“Dad~?”

“Yes my dear?”

“We not open the bakery today?”

“Ah~ dad will go to doctor?”

He ruffled his daughter’s hair. “No need to worried my dear, it will get better tomorrow as usual.” Victoria nodded. “And how’s is Mr. Shim? You stayed at his place last night?”

“E-eh?” that’s right, she didn’t tell her father where was she saw the beast. “He is tall, Dad.”

“Hahaha yes he is. Well, I think Mr. Shim is younger than you. He is the son of daddy’s best friend who passed away about ten years ago. Mr. Shim always ordered our cake and bread at night, usually daddy who delivered his order but I told you to delivered it make him know that you are my daughter who will replace me to deliver his order.
