OW, thx for the question, Anon <3 I dunno in what OC you are interested in, so I'll briefly respond for everyone. What is your OC's favourite season? Why and what do they do during it? 🍁 Beulah loves Spring, when everything blooms and seems full of life. She can't really enjoying sunlight for her vampire nature, but she wakes up early to see the sun going down and she takes care of her part of the garden without asking Aaron's help. 🍁 Mélina loves Summer. Dark seasons make them more moody and melanchonic, but the clear sky and the abrutp summer storms fill their heart and give them a lot of energy. She loves going to the beach and playing team sports as volleyball.

🍁 Séraphine loves Autumn instead, the slow return to the routine and the lack of hurries. She collects mushrooms, leaves, berries etc. for the cooks and the alchemists. She also prepares often traps for hunts.

🍁 Yeong-hye loves Winter because she has the perfect excuse to stay at home cozy, under the covers, and she can be cuddled by her girlfriend. They watch a lot of rom-coms and they bake together a lot of pies and pastries. You can find the original post here!

Day 2 in Korea - Friday 28 July 2023

Eonnie Oppa let me sleep in, the kids were busy going in and out for activities, I was with Oppa. As he cleaned etc, we talked and he left, gave the key of the house as I planned to exercise outside the apartment. I went out, observing the neighbourhood, walked, and it was so hot. I went back home, survived, enjoyed the quiet apt and did pilates. Rest for a while then the kids came, we are learning hangeul together. Sooyi was so excited to teach me and bring me many many books to learn, sooo cute nae sarang. Seoyi hates it tho, she said na gongbu shiro!! wkwkkww... The kids had lunch preped by Taekyun Oppa.

Then oppa brought us to book cafe Milkbook in Paju as I wished. It was sososo nice. Oppa really get my idea, the place is just my dream, what I always wanted as I saw instagram. On the car was so cute already, we all sat at the back but the kids were being so noisy so Oppa said Marsella appe, sit in front with me hahaha.. we really had a great time, ordered ice cream, coffee, read and walk around together, took pictures with my camera, oppa warned the kids as they told me to keep studying but he said Imo want to swui (rest) hahaha.. then the kids beg to buy cookies and books to me buy the father took over. I spent quality time with Seoyi as well, read pallgang moori, we took turn taking pictures, i love you so much chung seo yi.

Then afterwards we head home because we need to prep for Friday worship. But i was starving then Oppa cooked ramyeon, the best one, also served with halmeoni's kimchi which is the best!! I remember we talked a lot and learned for Indo performance together.

We head out, listened to sung si kyung (as I watched hangang n yeoudo sign: jjinj hangukidaaa), we talked in the car, dropped the kids to tung tung kimbap, the head to Oppa's studio in the church. we brought our shirts also Eonnie's, and I watched him work on songs SO COOL! Seoyi called me as we became Katalk friends hahaha.. they came back and we're heading to the rehearsal room where I saw many familiar faces. Han Jibsanim, Ha Jangronim, Mi Yeong Onni, etc and we're histerically reunited. The youth also come one by one, Jongsu, Zion, Hyemi, GwangHui with his laptop, EunJung Onni, Yoora, EunHye, Seungmin, Hakman, Kiwan Sieun, DongHwan, Yeseung Yeneung, Eun gu, Haon, KyeongJu, Haram, Hye Yeon, and many others. Everybody looked busy just finished from work though.

We rehearsed so cutely, with motion etc, haha hehe, trying to remember the lyrics, put on our position, n turned out me was put in front next to Yoora, Sieun, GwangHui and we had to hold microphone omg what is this.. Then we head to the main hall church, rehease very cutely and helped by the performance team, remember our mic, correcting our choreography, trying to get ready and 1st song that was sang was the 1st korean worship I downloaded during my father was sick in the hospital back in 2020 (merinding gak sih -0- pengen nangis tersedu kalo inget kala itu ga kebayang bisa bolak balik korea ky sekarang gini, but I know that's when God started to work in koreanness DNA in me HAHHA).

Then Han Jibsanim asked us to get ready and went to the backstage on the 3rd song. And we watched out Bali video mission for the first time with bitjereun nun (mata berbinar/shining eyes), teasing each others WOOOOOO on different part, feeling blessed it happened, unity, thankful, proud of God's work, nostalgic and mixed feeling. I remember every second of it, I want to keep it in my heart forever. I love you guys so much, God thank you for this new family and our strong bond, please keep this and the fire for the gospel forever.

Then time to show hahaha, it went well i guess and i enjoyed and smiled. I think it's what Chung Eun Ju muksanim meant by we shouldn't give up in our fate - that I was born shy like this, ugly or fat, but with God we can change everything, being used to be a light, brave, attractive and kind compassionate, willing to get out even though im an extreme extrovert. So God, all the glory belong to you again, please keep me humble and under Your grace. We then listened about the missionaries' work in Batam, SG, Malay with Maurice muksanim that I heard the next day as well.

After service I said to Eunjung Onni that I will go out with Yoora's soon which is Hakman n Gwang Hui. We're hanging out to watch movie together at 11 pm omg, we first stopped in front of the church, insa: Yujong, Seokmin, Yejin, Taeyon, Ryan, everybody is line 91, etc and we had fun walking to the cinema. Hak man bought me movie ticket and I bought uksusu drink as well. They challenged me to understand the movie hahaaa. Gwanghui on the way keep questioning how can I improve my hangukmal, so cute, I spoke to Yejin and how she used to be Yusosu's seonsaengnim. I sat next to Yoora, the seat was nice and we had adventure inside the building as well, trying to get the elevator etc, and going out was a hastle but chemita like an adventure. Hahahehe and we went seperately, going back to the church as Yoora parked there, went to toilet, pyeonijeom to buy vit c n snaks, nice ahjussi then we head to onni oppa house. Yoora continue to work while I was so exhausted and went to sleep. She used Yui's pyjama can you imagine how cute hahaha.. that's the end of my packed 2nd day..

'Red Balloon', 3 types of firepower that viewers can sympathize with

TV CHOSUN's weekend mini-series 'Red Balloon' is exploding 'empathy firepower' with realistic narration and a vivid reality story.

'Red Balloon' (script Moon Yeong-nam/director Jin Hyung-wook/producer Green Snake Media, Highground) tells the thrilling and thrilling story of relative deprivation, the thirst for stomach-ache, and our struggles to quench that thirst. We looked at three special reasons why 'Red Balloon' was well-received by maximizing viewers' empathy.

◆ The story of the man and the woman in reality

'Red Balloon' is a story of someone who has actually heard of it, and it wraps the home theater with empathy with the development of an extreme reality story with realistic material. Like the gathering place of various word-of-mouth, the episodes of the man and the woman encountered somewhere in the family, work, or neighborhood are contained in detail and naturally. As a result, social issues that have been publicized in actual news have also appeared, earning a reputation as a 'hyperrealism drama'.

In the play, Yang Ban-suk (Lee Bo-hee) received a text message saying that the old-age pension would come out, and as she grew older, she was excited to think it was a separate money. Here, after Jo Dae-bong (Jeong Bo-seok) performs CPR on a passenger in a cardiac arrest in a taxi, goes home and asks his family if they know how to perform CPR, and in the scene, “If you suddenly stop breathing and your pulse stops, you have to do it right away.” The content related to the 'implementation of CPR for the general public', which emerged in conjunction with the accident, raised the sense of reality.

◆ Human nature, psychology, and duality exposed

'Red Balloon' formed a consensus by clearly showing the 'relative sense of deprivation' that we all feel in the present era, but it is coolly revealed on the outside and cannot be said. The relative deprivation felt by Jo Eun-gang (Seo Ji-hye), a clay spoon born in a poor family, to Han Bada (Hong Soo-hyeon), a golden spoon who was born rich and enjoys many things, and the manifestation of suppressed desire that started from this, caused a response that made people nod their heads.

The colorful and wealthy daily life, envy and jealousy of a life superior to one's, betrayal and hypocrisy to take it away, and the pursuit of justification for one's own happiness, 'Red Balloon' is a psychological portrayal of human duality and selfish human It is asking fundamental questions about nature.

◆Life history of family members of various ages and generations, couples with different textures

'Red Balloon' is achieving a wide consensus among men and women of all ages as family members and couples of various ages and generations appear. Gomul-sang (Yun Joo-sang) and Na Gong-ju (Yoon Mi-ra), a 70-year-old man who managed to make a living if they made a mate even without love, and Cho Dae-bong and Yang Ban-suk, an elementary school alumnus who want to be a husband and a woman who do not have unfaithful days, but have strong wives in their 60s. to draw

Hanbada and Gochaewon are struggling with the extreme conflict between father and mother that cannot be sealed, causing regret, and Jin-cheol (Lee Seong-jae), who married without dating, is shaken by Jo Eun-san (Jung Yu-min), a love he is trying for the first time. In particular, to the mother, Yang Ban-sook, who wails greatly due to Jo Dae-bong, her two daughters, Jo Eun-gang and Jo Eun-san, said, "Divorce and live your mother's life."

The production team said, "It seems that 'Red Balloon' is gaining more sympathy because it reflects realistic episodes that have been heard at least once and events that have been publicized in real life." I will do my best to create a unique 'red balloon'."

Meanwhile, 'Red Balloon' recorded TOP5 in the drama TV topicality in the 5th week of December announced by Good Data Corporation, a TV topicality analysis agency. In terms of drama search issue keywords (performers), Seo Ji-hye took first place, while Lee Seong-jae, Hong Soo-hyun, Lee Sang-woo, and Seol-hwan took second to fifth place, respectively.

Why Hye-yeong

TLDR; Me discovering Love Alarm and being pleasantly surprised by the endgame(!) and I know many of you are disappointed, but I love Jo-jo and she deserves buckets and buckets of pure love and happiness, and IMO, she’s better off with Hye-yeong.

Here’s why, the shorter version. (Yes, really.)

One. Hye-yeong loves Jo-jo just because. He doesn’t expect and doesn’t ask anything in return. He’s happy just because he can show her that he loves her.

Zero possessiveness. He’s never demanding, he just offers his love freely. Look how happy he is back on season 1, just being able to ring Jo-jo’s alarm repeatedly with his bike, while she obviously doesn’t and says that she probably will never ring his alarm back.

Hye-yeong: “You don't have to like me back just because I like you.”

Jo-jo: “How’s that fair to you?"

Hye-yeong: “I just wanted you to know how I feel."

On S02E04, even after Jo-jo disappears from his "will love you" list, Hye-yeong sees that it's raining and he sends her a text: "It's raining all of a sudden. Did you bring an umbrella? Should I pick you up when you're done?" And even later on, he still smiles the same smile as he notices her there with the yellow umbrella. He continues to ring her alarm again and again that evening, fulfilling his 10x/day quota, even though he's actually really distressed himself.

There are really too many to list here, but you’ve got the point, right?

-

Two. Hye-yeong’s the epitome of being patient. He freaking waits four(!) years after Jo-jo and Sun-oh’s break-up before making his move.

On one hand, he’s such a frustrating guy. (Get moving already!) But on the other hand, the way his love is still so strong and unwavering for years is 💕💕💕

-

Three. Even from season 1, Hye-yeong makes Jo-jo hopes again.

Jo-jo: “Thanks to a single person who’s ringing my Love Alarm right now, I now have hope that I can be happy. One is bigger than any other number in the world.”

Love and relationship is not only about passion, but also commitment. Conscious effort that one continues to choose the other again and again despite everything. So, the fact that Jo-jo herself says this is 🤩

Jo-jo: “Hye-yeongie is a warm and kind guy. I want to try my best.”

-

Four. And on season 2, Jo-jo learns how to love because Hye-yeong shows her how.

Jo-jo notices that he’s struggling even though he says that he’s fine. She ties his necktie for him and says this: “I’m good at it now, right? I can do it now because you taught me.”

And she’s not only talking about the necktie, but also recalling to the moment when Hye-yeong does the same thing to her back on season 1.

This is such a contrast with Sun-oh, who’s starved for love himself. Sun-oh’s also still learning how to love someone properly: how to put their feelings and needs above his own, know when to let go of his pride, how to trust and be gentle.

-

Five. Hye-yeong also shows her how to heal (though unconsciously).

Jo-jo: “People act two different ways when they’re hurt. People who cover up and hide the wound and let it fester. People who show their wounds and grow like trees.”

But I want to stress this. Jo-jo grows and makes peace with many things from her past on her own. She has her own power, always does. But it is also Hye-yeong’s presence and his support throughout their relationship, that I believe gives her the boost. She has such stable and strong support system in the form of Hye-yeong now.

-

Six. Last but not least, they’re so secure with their feelings, that they don’t need the confirmation from the app anymore, at the end. Jo-jo’s log data is such a sweet throwback to all of their moments, yes, but character-wise, they both just shrug if off when their attempt to view the data is apparently unsuccessful.

-

Edited, since I realized belatedly that Tumblr messed up the formatting.

Sorry to team Sun-Oh, but I’m so glad Hye-Yeong got the girl. I do love Song Kang but this is why I was team Hye-Yeong from the beginning.

So back when Love Alarm was first released I actually hadn’t heard of either of the male lead actors so I had no idea who the endgame would be. I ended up dropping the drama 3 episodes in because I found myself rooting for HY and I began to think SO was the main lead. I decided to wait until the second season was released before finishing season one. I didn’t realize how long I’d wait...

So this past week I binged everything from the beginning back to back and I still stand with rooting for HY. Here are my reasons:

1. SO didn’t respect his best friend—When SO found out HY had feelings for JoJo he still pursued her. Yes HY denied it but SO knew how HY felt.

2. HY may have admired JoJo from afar but he respected that she was in a relationship while SO did not. SO kissed JoJo TWICE (by the way) while she was in a relationship. First was when she was with Il-Sik and the second was when she was with Hye-Yeong!

3. HY never pressured her to prove how she felt while SO always pulled out the app to confirm how she felt all the time. While HY did want her to ring his alarm, he chose to be patient and waited for her.

4. JoJo had her own trauma to work through and honestly, SO wasn’t the right person to walk alongside of her through it. He had his own trauma but never really addressed it.

5. JoJo hated being in the spotlight or put on the spot. We see this with the anonymity with The Ringing World and when SO called her out multiple times. SO received a lots of attention and he enjoys it. HY does things quietly.

6. HY is a warm and loving person. JoJo never had the love that HY shows her except with her Halmeoni. SO also doesn’t really know that love either so for two people who don’t understand love get together it gets pretty messy.

7. HY has always been concerned for JoJo and her wellbeing. SO was always a bit too selfish for me.

8. JoJo chose to use the spear to ring HY’s love alarm. He didn’t understand it at first but the fact that she chose him was a perfect end to Love Alarm.

I would’ve loved it if the story was longer and more was explored. I think parts of the story could have been expounded upon but I think the moral of the story is this:

Don’t let an app guide your heart. Be open to the love that’s around you. You decide your path.

Again, sorry to SO fans. I was Team Han Ji-Pyeong and Team Han Seo-Joon so I know the pain! Here’s hoping the next great show won’t have a love triangle. My heart can’t take it lol

Done watching 6 episodes of “Love Alarm Season 2”

Starring Song Kang, Jung Ga Ram and Kim So Hyun

I enjoyed watching 6 episodes in just less than 7 hours straight. Kim Jojo ended up with someone whom she really loves and I am so happy about it. Though I am rooting for the other guy since Season 1 episode 1, I am glad he still have someone by his side.

I salute Yuk-jo. She definitely deserves a virtual hug for everything that she’s been through since the latter part of Season 1.. and the whole part of Season 2..

“When you promised to protect me... if anyone gave me a hard time. But who do I go to... if that person is you?”

“I won’t be here for a while. When I come back, if you still say it can’t be me, I’ll stop liking you.”

“Liking someone... isn’t something to be sorry for.”

Waiting for this for almost 2 years were all worth it!!! Go ahead and watch it, I bet you won’t stop until you’re done (in just less than a day).

Are you Team Hye-Yeong or Team Sun-Oh?

[emmagalaxy25]

Why was Love Alarm 2 so infuriating to me?

Needless to say, but Spoiler Alert! 

Before telling my reasons, I’m here to say that this isn’t about teams, this is going to be about why I didn’t like season 2 me very much, and yes, it’s because of the ending, but not related to Team Sun Oh o Team Hye Yeong.

So, if you, just like me, enjoyed the first season, when it comes to the relationship Sun Oh and JoJo had… then, I think I found the reason why season 2 didn’t feel right. Before explaining, I know that JoJo’s choice is the same she made in the webtoon, but I won’t go that way. 

Now, leaving a side the reasons why Sun Oh decided to kiss JoJo, even knowing ? that his best friend might like her… I truly enjoyed the first season because of the chemistry between So Hyun and Song Kang. I think they both did a really good job, and that’s why I personally truly enjoyed the first season. This couple made me feel things that I haven’t felt in a lot of time… so, yeah, we were following that couple, JoJo and Sun Oh… that felt like where the story was going… but then things changed, and the second couple couldn’t reach the expectations I had. I’m not going to lie, they are cute and sweet, but that doesn’t change the relationship Sun Oh and JoJo had… 

In the second season they followed the second couple, and yes, I understand it, she moved on, fell in love with Hye Yeong and the rest is history, but I didn’t move on, and neither did Sun Oh, for the obvious reasons: JoJo never came to him to tell him what was going on, so I see why the boy had a mess in his heart. Maybe he did something, maybe he didn’t, he still didn’t know, and he wanted answers. I understand him because It kinda happened to me once… So with uncertainty, and doubts we saw Sun Oh suffering a whole season, not being able to move on, how could some of us move on too? 

In most romantic movies, we are presented with a couple that might have their differences, might fight and go through ups and downs… but at the end they end up together, because that’s the power of love (not actually but I hope you understand what I mean). With Love Alarm 2… that didn’t happen… call what I wanted cliche, but that’s what I was introduced to in the first season, so for some of us, it might make sense that it was what we wanted the ending to be. And that’s why it felt disappointing, thinking that after all they went through they would be together at the end. 

That’s what I wanted but didn’t happen. Instead, focusing on the real ending, we got a Sun Oh that still wasn’t able to move on, and that’s what hurted me the most. I’m not quite sure, correct me if I’m wrong, but I read that in the end of the webtoon, Sun Oh made Yuk Jo’s alarm sound. And we didn’t even get that? We were left with a “yeah, maybe - just maybe - in the future I can make your alarm sound” ? The uncertainty following this character's life makes my blood boil. Why not give him the end he deserved? The end he actually had in the original work… Even Duk Gu had an ending, knowing that he would never make Gul Mi like him, and even that ending isn’t quite clear. 

What I felt is that they let Sun Oh, and other characters in a tight rope. Yes, I know this suddenly became the JoJo and Hye Yeong show, but at least give me some proper goodbyes? And yes... you can say that the scene in which JoJo and Sun Oh had a last chat, it’s the ending of what they have, the ending of his doubts… but that doesn’t make the rest of the season right… he still suffered, and a “quick let me forgive you” scene doesn’t recompense what the boy went through. This suddenly feels too much, love isn’t that much, and that’s what I would think, but I’m sure that for Sun Oh it meant a lot and that’s why It hurted him so much. 

Closing the idea, as “Team Sun Oh” as maybe some of you would like to paint me as, I think that Sun Oh, and even  Yuk Jo deserved at least, a better ending and a better character development for that matter.

But don’t confuse me as immature,  I understand very well why JoJo ended up with Hye Yeong, It Just felt like the rest of the characters were there to fill the blanks and nothing else, and that felt quite upsetting. 

In terms of production, I felt the season was really long, slow and meaningless. It definitely could have been better… 

Little shout out to the first season who will remain as my favourite! 

If you read this whole thing, then thank you! And I hope you enjoyed it! 

Let me know (without hating please) if you agree with me or not! 

- Emma.

Random thoughts about Love Alarm Season 2

I, like many of the Team Sun-Oh fans, was exhausted with season 2. I was supposed to write a review months ago. I'll just list random thoughts

Song Kang is so fine 😍 that always needs to be said

Jojo was cool, but she should've told Sun-Oh how she felt about the pressure their relationship put on her.

In many cultures, including SK, when a child is orphaned people believe that child has bad luck and are cursed to bring harm to others throughout their lives. It is important to look at Jojo's actions with that in mind.

I hate Hye-Yeong. He seemed to be insecure, bc of his dad being a murderer, but I just found him so unattractive. Following Jojo at the library every day, screaming her name on the bridge, he had creepy behavior but got away with it bc he is the 'nice guy'.

Sun-Oh is not better. He is jealous and selfish and feels like he has a right to be these things, bc of his messed up childhood.

Sun-Oh's parents were the most one-dimensional, stereotypical, rich and neglectful parent characters

Jojo's aunt and cousin were trash, bc the only time in the entire drama when they showed her a tiny shred of compassion is when she nearly got killed by that guy who was obsessed with her art.

Also I weirdly felt happy that the aunt and cousin got what they wanted at the end of the series. I knew that they only picked on Jojo bc they were unhappy. So them getting their own happy ending would give Jojo a break from their terror.

Finding out what happened to Duk-Gu was the only reason why I finished the series. Somewhere along the way I stopped caring about every other character.

I find the Yuk-Jo and Sun-Oh relationship so interesting. Not good or bad, just interesting. They both grew. Yuk-Jo learned that even though she loved Sun-Oh she could no longer be satisfied with their relationship being a one-way street. Sun-Oh realized that Yuk-Jo was there for him when no one else was.

Not Just a Monster

Warning: none

25: Trust?

Hyun-Su P.O.V

Could I trust this guy? My insides were in knots after just finding out he was just like me. He killed his team without hesitation. He pretended to be the rabbit but all along he was the wolf.

I sort of get it to survive even as a monster you have to do whatever it takes. It was true it's not the monsters that are the Scariest it's the humans.

Judging by the paper he showed me when the helicopters flew by dumping them out will they welcome me with open arms? I knew Soo-Nico would if she were alive, she showed me that.

But the others?

I could count probably a couple but that's it. I didn't know them long enough or know their true intentions if they found out about the safe camp. Would they report me? I got to thinking they did use me and Soo-Nico but they made up for it but still.

All this thinking of the what if's made my head spin as we came down the elevator. The same one Jae-Hyeon died in. He was one of the ones that were good to me would I let him down by trusting Ui-Myeong?

Time would tell, I was torn by helping him and trusting the group. I would have to be cautious from here on out. Turning my head I looked at my reflection through the mirror.

It went on because there was another one on the other side as it started back at me. I could have sworn someone my eyes were black. I couldn't die as a human but am I living to see myself become a monster?

I saw the numbers count down until it got to one. I waited a few seconds for the door to open. Soon it did revealing the group, but they all had Serious Expressions on their face I don't blame them after just what happened.

They were holding up all kinds of different weapons. I Scanned through every one of them. Until something NO more like someone caught my eye.

It was HER

Soo-Nico stood in front of me I didn't know how my mind didn't recognize or see her. My breath was caught in my throat, I thought she had died? she did die in my arms.

I had to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I stood there for a couple of minutes processing what was going on but I decided To take a step closer. My words came what stutter-ish and probably unconvincing.

" H-How?"

I raised my hand up and with the tips of my fingers, I gazed at her cheek. It felt warm and firm it felt real. It was. I dropped my hand backing up.

The only way she could be alive is if she was infected. But she couldn't be? She didn't show any signs that I saw or none of them. If she was did she kept it a secret all this time?

But why would she?

I recalled the times she hinted at it during our first and second couple of other meetings. How could've been so dumb not to realize? " Hyun-Su what's going on with you?" My train of thought was Interrupted by Yi-Kyeong.

She stepped towards me with her gun, questioning what was wrong with me. " did I win?" Ui-Myeong stated, more like reminded me of what he thought might happen.

By the looks of the group, I was beginning to think he was right. " Hyun-Su is okay," Eun-hyuk informed everyone but did he know if I was? I began to question everything.

As I heard footsteps walk up behind me. " is that so?" Yi-kyeong now pointed the gun at Ui-Myeong questioning Eun-hyuk.

She still had the gun pointed towards him so I brought my hand back up to the tip of the Barrel lowering it away from him. " don't more!"

" you know those things can't kill me?" Ui-Myeong reminded Sang-Wook who was angry holding the gun tight in his grip. " don't worry about that. I'll find a way to kill you when I need to!" He threatened.

This was all too much.

I kept getting asked questions if I was okay and they kept telling me to come here as if I was their dog. Sang-Wook gun was still up so I walked over towards it the end of it was on my chest. " put that away, he saved me."

" think about what they had done?" I remembered what they did. I took a glance a Soo-Nico I almost let my guard down seeing the bullet hole that was through her shirt that was fully stained in her blood.

I still had some of it on me as well, I was at crossroads. If she was like me why lie and deceive me? There must have been a reason for it. But that reason could be something bad that's why she didn't plan on telling anyone.

It wasn't that hard to guess. " Hyun-Su he killed his men, –Do you trust him?"

I stopped him right there, " –Do you trust me?" I wanted to know did they trust a Monster, Wasn't I good enough that Soo-Nico didn't trust me with her secret? I did trust her either now? I glanced down at her. " seriously, do you trust me or should I trust you?"

I didn't take my eyes off her, she seemed to understand what I was saying now. Her eyes glanced to the floor with a look of regret. I felt my heart skip. I was disappointed in her I was with all of them.

I was just used, I was just filled with lies. They were just like everyone else in my life, did I still have feelings for her maybe? I know I did but right now I need to think everything through.

But first I had to say saying about Ui-Myeong. " He's just like me—  So please, put your guns down." I had to break the suffocating atmosphere.

What did that matter? It will be like this for a while it may even become Awkward. So I decided to walk away from them, I didn't have to tell Ui-Myeong he followed.

But something caught my hand, I knew who it was. " Hyun-Su please let me explain—" she squeezed my hand like she did many other times when she did that I use to feel all warm inside but now I don't feel anything.

I had to shake my head, " No, there's nothing I want to hear from you right now." I jerked my hand away, closing my eyes. I couldn't turn and look at her knowing I'll break.

I walked into the room where Sun-Young got killed. There was a large Puddle of her blood laying on the floor, " I did it." I mumbled to myself, I noticed Ui-Myeong stayed behind.

" I... killed Ms. An."

I could hear myself began to cry, usually, Soo-Nico would comfort me but I didn't want to see or talk to her. I hadn't noticed Yi-Kyeong stepped into the room. " I know you had no choice." She nodded her had bottom lip quivering a little.

" you waited until the end, She would've wanted that for you." She turned and walked away out of the room. I could tell there were tears in her eyes. I remembered her face when I made her take her last breath.

As I stared back down at the Puddle of blood seeing my Reflection. Then glanced up at the Concrete column seeing where she was counting down the day until monsterization. It was her Tenth day.

Raising my hand I rubbed my finger over it. Frowning, I had to look away. I had no right to be sad. So I walked out of the room. Seeing Ui-Myeong we took a seat in the day-care-center.

It was quiet until I spoke to you. " What are you going to do from now on?" I questioned not knowing what he was going to do from here? " I'm gonna find more that are just like us." I nodded my mind went to Soo-Nico.

She was like us but different.

He leaned more over towards me, " when the hunt is over, the hound dies. It should live as a wolf, come with me." She suggested, taking me up on an offer did I what to take it?

My heart says no but my head says yes. So there were small quiet footsteps. Ui-Myeong peered over. " is he your friend? Come here it's okay." He motioned. I was it was Su-Yeong, he slowly walked over.

" Hyun-Su have you seen Mr. Han?"

" No."

" look my T-Rex leg is broken, he said he would fix it. Do you know who to fix it!" He pushed it towards me. Asking if I knew how. I didn't feel like fixing anything.

" No."

He looked down said, I didn't feel bad. " what about us? Do you think we can be fixed? I used to think so. Because I thought it was a disease So I volunteered for the experiment." He sighed,

" They made every effort to separate it from me. They tried freezing, thawing, sawing, piercing, scorching. What do you think happened in the end?" He nudged me, " it never came out!" He smiled.

" why not?" He asked as if I questioned it. " because the monster isn't in me. it is me! I realized then this is an evolution! And that I was the chosen one." His eyes turned black like he was all excited.

My stomach began to twist, " Humans have failed Not only did they fail in experiments, But they also failed to be selected by nature."

His eyes turned back to normal after he finished. Did humans fail? Was it time for a new chance for us to evolve into something much more unbreakable? Only if you survive the changing process.

Was it true only the strong survive? Maybe I was looking at this all wrong it wasn't the monster that we have to worry about the next generations to come.

" Accept it humans and we can't coexist anymore anyway." Was he right but that? Even with Soo-Nico, she lied to me this was a tough decision to make she will probably take there the human's side.

She just like them.

So I got up walking down the hallway until I heard more commotion. Did I even want to know? But I went anyway knowing I had to be a better monster than a human. Turing a corner Su-Yeong was being held back by his sister.

He was crying, I didn't know what was happening until I saw Byeong-II and Hye-In and a couple of others. They were trying to kill slime monsters. " No! Stop it!" I Screamed.

But it was no use Byeong-II throw the bottle of fire hitting the monster. I couldn't believe it. " It won't attack us!"

" Well, yes but we–" Byeong-II was stopped by Hye-In. " you don't know when it will Change!" She yelled. " shoot it! It's a monster!" The little girl cried. After all this time they still think monsters are all the bad ones

There was still screaming and crying going around. They began to burn it more with a blowtorch. My eyes winded as the huge yellow light was reflected off the walls.

He was right all along.

I turned to Ui-Myeong, " I guess you were right, monster and humans can't possibly coexist!" Anger rose in me. If they did that to him how can I live or trust these people I'm with?

Not anymore.
