김태형 image

김태형

김여주 image

김여주

Yes, brother!

Taehyung turned around and walked towards the house.

The female protagonist also laughed brightly and followed Taehyung.

But something got stepped on by Yeoju's foot

김여주 image

김여주

uh...?

On the floor was a red moon-shaped necklace.

김여주 image

김여주

Uh uh...

김여주 image

김여주

Let's take it first...!

The woman picked up the necklace and followed Taehyung.

김여주 image

김여주

Hmm...

김여주 image

김여주

Whose necklace is this...?

The heroine lifted the necklace high and then placed it back down on the desk.

김여주 image

김여주

hmm...

김여주 image

김여주

Should I put it back in its place...?

Eight...

Let's think about it tomorrow

The heroine put down the necklace, lay down, and closed her eyes to sleep.

At that moment

dripping

김여주 image

김여주

김여주 image

김여주

. . .

Squeak...

Squeak...

김여주 image

김여주

what?

The heroine went outside and looked around, but there was no one around.

김여주 image

김여주

what?

As the heroine turned around to go in again, the door slammed shut with a strong wind.

김여주 image

김여주

...!?

Tap

???

Hmm...

???

The thieving cat...

박지민 image

박지민

Was it you?

김여주 image

김여주

...!

김여주 image

김여주

N...Who...are...you...?

박지민 image

박지민

Hey,

박지민 image

박지민

Are you pretending not to know?

김여주 image

김여주

Uh...why...are...you...like that...?

박지민 image

박지민

...

Jimin got closer to Yeoju, but Yeoju backed away to avoid Jimin.

Bam-

Bam-

As the heroine's back pressed against the wall of the room, her body froze and she looked up at Jimin with a fearful face.

Jimin just looked down at Yeoju with an emotionless expression,

It didn't approach me as threateningly as before.

박지민 image

박지민

...Whew

박지민 image

박지민

no way...

Jimin, who had been staring at Yeoju for a while, lowered his body and met her eyes.

김여주 image

김여주

Ugh...

박지민 image

박지민

you,

박지민 image

박지민

What's your name?

김여주 image

김여주

...Uh...I...

김여주 image

김여주

Kim... Yeoju...

박지민 image

박지민

What did I do that makes you scared?

김여주 image

김여주

Ah...no...!

Jimin looked down at Yeoju with a smirk.

It was completely different from the expression on his face when he was looking at Yeoju earlier.

박지민 image

박지민

You don't remember me

김여주 image

김여주

yes...?

박지민 image

박지민

but,

박지민 image

박지민

It'll be harder to remember

The female protagonist just swallowed dry saliva and didn't answer, and Jimin also just looked at the female protagonist and didn't say anything.

Jimin, who had been quiet for a while, took a step back and looked at Yeoju.

박지민 image

박지민

What you just saw must remain a secret.

김여주 image

김여주

N...Yes?

pop

There was a small explosion and the room was filled with smoke.

In the middle of the smoke, something white was sitting, waving its plump tail.

The heroine approached something in the fog.

When we are close enough to touch each other just by stretching out our hands

???

Now...you'll find out, right?

김여주 image

김여주

...!

김여주 image

김여주

???
