I never said it was clear

02. Engraving

He came closer to me.

민윤기

......

I walked step by step across the pond, but not a single ripple or breeze rose.

여주

......

The moment our eyes met.

I couldn't help but gasp and hold my breath.

민윤기

......

Silence fell.

여주

uh......

Whenever I tried to open my mouth, I had to remain silent and not be able to say a word due to the scary gaze that glared at me.

Rather than a fairy...

I could only swallow dryly at his suffocating aura, which seemed more aptly described as devilish.

민윤기

It turned off just as I wanted.

His long, white finger pointed to the sky.

The round moon, once shining brightly in the star-studded black sky, had vanished without a trace. The man's golden hair had also turned black.

여주

ah.

민윤기

How is it, are you satisfied?

여주

Get out of here... me.

민윤기

okay.

A heavy voice pressed down on my body, making it tremble.

That possessiveness was long gone. He was already a perfect strongman to me.

More importantly, what on earth is this man's true identity?

민윤기

I wonder?

A hiss, and a fresh puff of air escapes his lips.

He approached me, leaving me about a span away, so that I could feel his breath, and stopped for a moment.

Soon he put his arms around me as if embracing me and buried his face in the nape of my neck.

여주

ah-.

민윤기

......

The place where his hand touched was crazy hot, but the nape of my neck where his mouth touched was crazy cold.

민윤기

... remember it clearly.

His lips brushed the tender flesh of her neck.

Sometimes soft, most of the time rough.

A strange tickling sensation rose in my throat, and I barely managed to swallow the strange sound that was about to come out of my mouth.

여주

M... What are you doing?

민윤기

... done.

여주

evil!

민윤기

Don't be sick. That's right.

He gently stroked the spot where I had bitten hard with his teeth, as if teasing me for being so stiff, and then he took his lips off my collarbone and smiled.

That's when I became convinced.

민윤기

Take care, Diana.

The scent of the flickering moon.

That he was engraved on me.

On my retina,

In my mind,

Like a mark that will never be erased.

Really,

It was dizzying.

민윤기

When the bloody moon rises, come find me.

여주

......

민윤기

I'll pick you up.

민윤기

then,

여주

......What did you say?

여주

No, who are you...

- Thump.

As he snapped his fingers, a dizzying light poured down and enveloped me.

When I closed my eyes and opened them, feeling a tingling sensation

I was in the middle of the room.

여주

......

I thought it was definitely a dream.

What a ridiculous experience this is.

I was in the room, wearing white slips like I did before I left, and lying on the bed.

It was too vivid to be a dream, and too absurd to be reality.

I unconsciously got out of bed and walked towards the mirror.

여주

......

여주

uh...?

Between the pure white neckline and collarbone, a red crescent moon was located.

It's clearly the place that man touched...

The hot sensation still felt unfamiliar.

The bright red crescent moon, contrasting with the pure white skin, was so blood-red that it seemed as if it would suck me in.

여주

Please take good care of me...Diana...?

In the red crescent moon located at the edge of the dent in the collarbone

I could feel the man's body temperature, cold and hot.

Who on earth could it be that he asked me to take care of him? And he even called me by my nickname, which wasn't even my nickname, Diana...

베키

Oh my god?! Miss. Where have you been?!

여주

......

Becky screamed when she found me standing in front of the mirror, wondering if she had come back looking for me, but I didn't have time to pay attention.

The little boy next to Becky didn't even catch my eye.

베키

Were you in the room? No, since when... You were definitely gone earlier, so I searched for you like crazy, and the whole mansion was turned upside down looking for you. What the hell is going on? Where have you been? Is there a hiding place I don't know about?

여주

......

베키

Ha... no. I hope you're okay.

No, none of it is okay.

Thump, thump,-

My heart... is beating too fast.

The man I want.

That was all.

Why won't it leave my memory?

It's weird.

That's weird.

There has never been a person like this before.

Why on earth

Just thinking about it

My heart is pounding like it's going to burst.

여주

Who the hell are you?
