Celine’s POV In my dream, I heard my father’s voice through the last letter he sent to me. [“Dear my Celine, no… my lovely daughter, Jill… While you were still in your mom’s womb, I remembered singing lullabies to you so you would know my voice. I’ll never forget the first time I held you in my arms and saw the spark in your eyes, that baby smile that let me know you will become one hell of a woman one day. I was so young and scared, but most of all – excited to the bone. Your little hands held me tightly to my pinkies as you were taking your first steps. You are, in my mind, the toddler running to the door joyfully crying “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy” when I came home after a long journey. Suddenly, there was a new bundle of joy that had already completely shifted my life. It was impossible to describe, yet incredible to feel. I love you and cherish you, my baby; from the day you proved me that you’re everything I wished you’d be, to the day we will be separated. There are so many t
Joshua is sitting on a chair, underneath the light above his head. Tonight he is the captive, but he wasn’t tied with anything; as if the captor believes that a clever man like Joshua won’t never think of running away because the percentage of his escape will be less than 50%. He guessed the right thing. Showing no signs of anxiousness, he looked around the place where he was brought. He’s inside a deserted church. The altar, tables and chairs had long been removed. Only the holy statue remained — Christ’s face, covered with dust, revealed an extraordinary quality of steadfast perseverance, and the old piano at the corner of of the hall. “He chose an odd place,” Joshua murmured after checking his surroundings. He did not exactly know where is the location of this, but was perplexed to his captor’s weird way of choosing the location. Was there anything else worth seeing inside the giant and silent church? Joshua wasn’t interested at the place anymore. He felt hungry and thirsty fo
It’s been an hour ago since Seungcheol called to Jeonghan, saying that he’s with Celine and they are on their way back to the mansion. That lessened the panic among them, especially Minghao who blamed himself for leaving Celine’ side again.

Kloper did not close the window of his car as he drives back home. The cool breeze in the atmosphere gently touched his skin. It made him feel strangely calm and good. Once in a while, he glanced up to see the clouds in the sky changed their color with huge color palate of violet and blues merging together with the passage time as the morning continues to envelope above. From the window, he could see the dark colored mountains, crinkled from the top, covered in mist. Driving back home after visiting the tombstone of his old friend, somehow it felt like he came from a wonderland sanctuary. He had the moment of quiet reflection on a task well achieved. It was this moment he sensed an inner peace that can only come of being best self. Is it because he came there with Groid? Or was it because of Fredd who shared the the last words that Freea told him before everyone was left broken? One thing for sure, he thinks he can make a plan accordingly to what his friends wanted him to do. Kl
The internet was flooded with news of Woozi’s report during the live forecast. It spread quickly, like a virus, and affected the citizens’ beliefs. Those who supported the Governor finally turned their backs and were disgusted to trust the man. They could just not believe that they almost vote an evil guy like him as the new ruler of the country. People initiated the government and the police to investigate the case. Many hashtags trended online, such as: #don’t_hide_the-truth #putShiminJail, #No_to_drug_pusher_as_president, #The_clown_of_the_Century, #Woozi_The_new_hero, etc… Because of this, all effort to bury the case went futile. “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!” Governor Shim will be heard inside his room. He was breaking anything he sees after the news spread unstoppable. “S-Sir,” his aide murmured. “We were clearly reassured that they won’t air the news. However, the news anchor said those despite receiving the warn.” “WHO IS THAT BASTARD AGAIN?!” “Woozi Lee.” Catching his
Celine’s POVI stood in front of an underground parking entrance. It was heavily blocked off with chains. However, it was still accessible.My hand reached of the metals. Dingle dangles sounds were created as I made my own way in. The rusty smell of the chains reached into my nose, and it wasn’t pleasant. My hand felt dirty and dusty, yet I knew it isn’t the time to think about cleanliness.Finally, I entered the space. The moment I walked in, it was like diving into water. Sound stops and the entire place is at constant 14 degree Celsius with a slight breeze passing through. It started to get deeper and colder as I walked in the dim.Part of myself was thinking about turning around, because actually, it wasn’t easy to be to here now that I know I’m alone.‘But I can’t change my mind.’ I took a deep breath.Hoo.Then I walked again. Continuing, I saw some grassy shrub in various parts of the parking lot that are somewhat overgrown. That means this was abandoned for a long time ago.G
Celine’s POV Through the cellphone he’s holding, he showed me the video where Joshua and Jeonghan are together. “Now that you see this, give me that damn document,” he asked, pointing these papers in my hand. If Jeonghan finally arrived at Joshua’s side, then the plan is going smoothly. All I need to do is to steal more time so Jeonghan can make a way for escape. ‘30 minutes will do? Right?’ “What are you waiting for?! You already see that he’s alive! Come on and give me that!” he started to be impatient. Just like what I promised, I put the fire out of the lighter. Everyone then sighed in relief, as if they thought they can handle me starting from now on. I threw the brown envelope to his side, there near his shoes. As soon as I threw it, I sensed the movements of the men surrounding my side. Either they’ll kill me or hold me captive. Therefore, I began to execute my 2nd plan. “Only half of the documents are there,” I said. They stopped. The man who’s picking up the paper

She was mad to hear him saying thank you as if she was only forced to be by his side. “I’ll wait for the day when you can finally let me enter your heart,” he continued, grabbing both sides of her face with his hands and continued moving his hips. Celine’s hand on his shoulder clenched. “But now, I am contended with this. I am happy already,” he breathed fiercely, his deep eyes gazing at her. Celine is moaning, feeling his hardness rubbed on her and she still had to bite her lower lip with all her might to keep from telling him that he does not need to thank her.
