-AUTHOR'S POV-
NOVEMBER 1, 2026

You sat there at the chair and your fingers danced on the piano. Every relative, your father and grandfather's employee's watched and listened to you play.

Irene smiled watching you, all attention was on you.

After your performance, you stood up and bowed at everyone as they clapped. You walk to your mother's table, she sat there with your aunts and grandmother.

"Y/N! You are so gorgeous!", Your ant smiled, you chuckled and tuck your hair behind your ear.

"Thank you auntie. So do you", your auntie returns a smile. As you were about to sit you suddenly see a Little kid outside the fences.

The death anniversary was held at the garden, full of grass. Delicious foods were served, it was formal.

You of course wore your dress.

The little guy caught your attention, as you looked at your mother.

"Mom.. Can I go somewhere real quick?", You whispered to her, your mother knits her eyebrows hearing this.

"Where?".

"Just.. At the bathroom, need to take a breath", You ask for permission, she nodded and let's you go.

"Be back okay?", You nodded then you walk out of the place making sure no one notices you as you see the little kid looking at you.

"Hey", You called out to him. Though he just looked at you, as you got closer he suddenly ran away. You gasped and run after him.

You were concerned, he might be lost or an orphan.

You followed the little guy, as you got deep in the forest. The little guy stops on his track at a pond, you looked around the whole place scanning the area.

Then your eyes landed at him.

"Little kid..", You panted, "are you lost?". You as as you stand up straight. The little boy turns around and looked at you.

He looked good actually, he has a clean cloth just a little but dirty maybe because of playing around the forest.

Which made you worry that he might be a lost kid.

The little kid was scrunching his nose, preventing himself from sneezing which made him look cute.

"Where are your parents kid?", You ask and walk closer to the boy and fix his messy hair then pat his head softly.

Though the boy frowned and slapped your hand away from him, "you promised to visit!", The little boy yelled at you, you gasp and take a step back. The boy started to cry, tears running down to his cheeks. "You don't remember me!", The poor little boy sobbed and wiped his tears.

You were shock and you didn't know what to do at this kind of situation. You never really had a chance to handle a child or properly interact with them. Even though it's common sense you still struggle.

"Oh no no.. Let's um.. Talk instead", You tell trying to comfort him.

The boy looked at you, "what?".

You took a deep breath and smiled at him, "I'm Lee Y/N. How about you?", You ask as you sat down to have the same height level as the little boy, you wiped his tears softly.

"Joonsu", He replies shortly as he sneezed, you giggled finding him cute.

"You have a nice name", You compliment him to at least make him feel good. You held his hand, "now where are your parents?", You ask and as you were about to stand up the little guy suddenly pulls you down to make you sit again.

You were shock by his strength and how he pulled you effortlessly.

your eyes landed on his hand that grew a blue flower then he gives it to you.

You were shock seeing that. Was that magic??

You held the flower and looked at him, "h-how did you do that?". You ask, shocked and also amazed. It was a fresh flower that smell good.

"Magic", The little boy replies with one cute smile.

You were processing everything and what he said.

Joonsu points at the tree as You looked at it, the tree started growing leaves as joonsu's eyes shaded the color green. You gasped and was amazed.

Though as it stopped You turns your head slowly to the boy.

".. Are you a bad monster? Are you going to hurt me?". You ask somehow frightened now, how much capable this little boy can be of hurting you. You're not even sure If this is a little boy or a monster dressed up as a little boy to gain your attention.

Joonsu shaked his head and slap Your head with his small hand. "no! How dare you call me a horrifying beast! I am not".

This made You look at the boy in shock.

'That was cute'.

"Come with me", The little boy tells as you were about to speak, a huge leaves suddenly carried you also joonsu sat on the huge leaf.

It felt as if you were flying around the forest, the huge leaves was carrying you and dragging you around. You laughed and somehow enjoyed It, he was also giggling.

"Wow!", You wowed and looked around as the leaves goes faster it felt like real flying as if you were at Aladdin's magic carpet. Instead it's a leaf.

"Do you like it?!", Joonsu asks looking at you, you nodded and opened your arms. Loving the cold air passing by.

Joonsu giggled watching you then stopped as the lead puts you and him down on the ground softly.

"Wow! I never knew magic was real!", You looked at him amazed, joonsu crossed his arms and nodded. Proud of his self, you laughed and pat his head.

You look around noticing you and him are back at the place where you two were at first, you can hear music coming from the garden where the death anniversary was held.

"Joonsu! Come back!", Suddenly a girl yelled, which made you look at joonsu. Joonsu looked back then look at you.

"Come with me Y/N noona", Joonsu suddenly offered you to come with him, you shaked your head.

It's too risky to go with him.

"I can't sorry.." you pouted, he looks down then ran away. You gasp and wanted to stop him but he continuesly ran away.

You sigh and as you were about to walk back, suddenly a fire fly circled around you. Looking at it, it then started flying to a path, you followed it. Somehow it gained your attention.

As you followed it you walk past a pond, looking at it somehow made you feel something weird. As you kept following the firefly it then leads you to a road surrounded by the forest, there you see a gate.

A girl and joonsu walk inside the gate and closed it.

"How many times do I have to tell you not play around alone!", The girl lectures joonsu as they walked. Joonsu was frowning.

"But- but-"

"No buts! It's dangerous okay?".

You watched them walk then as you look infront you see a house, big house. Looking at it a tear escaped your left eye.

What's this feeling?..

You somehow started crying uncontrollably. Not knowing why.

"It's almost sangyeon hyung's birthday, we should get him a stick. He's getting old", You suddenly hear three boys laughing. You gasped and hide on one of the tree's. You took a peek and see three boys. They looked unfamiliar.

One of them looked familiar though.

The man who always shows up in your dreams.

You stared at him until he suddenly turns his head to where you were.

You gasped and hide again.

"Hyunjoon, Should we like wear grim reaper costume since it's Halloween too?", The boy asks as they go inside the gate.

You took another peek and see the guys again.

"That's ridiculous", The man answers and looked back at the tree where you were at, you gasp and hide again. As they go inside the gate, closing it.

You took a few breathes and watch them go inside, joonsu was waving at them, as the girl who was with joonsu crossed her arms looking at the three boys.

You looked down.

Your eyes wandered around. You were confused why you were feeling these kind of things. Just what Is it about this house? why is it making you feel.. Sad?

Suddenly your phone rang you looked at it just to see a text from your mother.

Mom

It's been minutes Y/N.
Come back now, we're having our afternoon prayer.

You sighed and ran back to the garden where your family was.

2:23PM

"Ughh finally I can rest", Haknyeon lays down on the couch, hyunjoon and Eric giggled looking at him. Haknyeon's eyes lands on joonsu who was pouting, "what happened aye? Why are you sad?", Haknyeon asks joonsu.

Joonsu points at jiyeon, which made jiyeon smirk. Joonsu cried seeing jiyeon smirked. the guys laughed seeing these two.

"I saw Y/N!", Joonsu pouts, which silenced the room.

"What? You did?", Jiyeon asks, looking down at joonsu. Joonsu nods.

"We were playing at the forest", Joonsu tells.

The guys somehow looked away from him, haknyeon closed his eyes.

Hyunjoon looks outside the door.

JUST A FEW MINUTES EARLIER.

-HYUNJOON'S POV-

I walked inside the gate, as joonsu ran to haknyeon hugging him. Haknyeon was laughing when joonsu welcome him with a hug.

"Lock the gate joon", Jiyeon tells, I nodded and parked my bike at the side of the house then ran to the Gate.

as I was locking it i suddenly hear a cellphone ring.

I turned my head to one tree, that tree. I felt someone was there, I keep feeling someone looking at me and my guys.

Who was there? Could it be a lost human?

I suddenly hear woods cracking then, a human suddenly left the tree running away where I don't know.

Her hair waved like a melody. It grew longer.

"Y/N?", I whispered under my breath. Somehow shock. What was she doing here?

"Joon come on!", Eric calls out to me. I sighed and shaked my head. As I run back inside the house.

-AUTHOR'S POV-

"Does she know you?", Eric asks. Joonsu shakes his head with a pout place on his face.

"She doesn't.. I really wanted to cry, she asked me what my name was then introduced herself", Joonsu somehow started to cry. Jiyeon sighs and hugs joonsu.

"Why doesn't she remember us?", Haknyeon opens his eyes and looks at Eric.

Eric sighs and shrugged.

"I don't know.."

...

A memory flashed Eric's mind.

ERIC'S POV

I decided to follow sunwoo around, every time in the afternoon he would always leave the house. I always wonder where he was going cause he would never tell a thing.

He's been like that since she left.

As I followed him, he suddenly stop at a street. There I see him watching a girl walking alone.

It was no stranger.

Y/N

I also watched Y/N, I was shock seeing her. She still looks beautiful, looking even more healthier.

Chanhee hyung was right.

Her hair grew, back then it was short.

I smiled watching her, now I know why sunwoo keeps leaving.

He actually missed Her. All this Time we thought he never cared. He actually cared.

Though it was stupid for him to act like it didn't hurt him.

A toy suddenly flew at the road, which made y/n look at it. Y/N walk over to the road without knowing there was motorcycle about to hit here.

I immediately engaged and did not waste time, I flashed my way right at her. Saving her and holding her.

Holding her.

I never knew that I'll get to hold her again.

I held her head to make sure he won't hit the ground. Both of us groaned as we fell.

She flattered her eyes open and looked at me frowning.

I stood up and also helped her stand up, holding her hand. "Wa-watch out next time". I said to her and looked at our hands. she nodded and let go of my hand as she looks at the kid.

I sighed and turn around just to see sunwoo looking at me and her, he was looking at me.

Fuck it.

I sighed and ran back to sunwoo, sunwoo rolled his eyes and walked away. I catched up to him.

"Dude what the fuck?", I looked at him as both of us walked, I walked backwardly looking at him. He continued walking.

He was annoyed, not wanting to talk to me.

"Yah!", I held his shoulder though he slapped it away and glared at me.

I scoffed seeing him giving me this face. I understand that he always acts tough and scary but it's just getting way off limits.

"Are you seriously just gonna stay like this for a whole fucking year? Dude I thought you never cared! We thought you never cared 'cause you always pushed us away!", I yelled at him, sunwoo looked away as a tear falls down from sunwoo's eye. He wipes it. I knit my eyebrows looking at him, "you should've at least talked to us.. Or to her..".

Sunwoo turns his head to me, "Do you think I have the courage? I pride like mine, do you think I have?". Sunwoo asks finally speaking up, his voice broke as he looks down wiping his tears.

"If you love her, you should've talked to her before she left..", Eric tells, sunwoo sobbed.

"It's hard for me okay? Yes. I love her, I love her so much that it's hard for me to not see her everyday. That's why I just  follow her around like a crazy man I am!", Sunwoo raised his voice and shakes his head. "I just can't.. I just want her to comeback. I love her Eric, I fucking do". Sunwoo admits everything as he cries.

It hurts my heart seeing him like this.

This world really is cruel.

I walked close him and embraced him, patting his head. He cried on my shoulder.

"I miss her. I want her back but she looks happier now", Sunwoo tells as he cried.

"We all want her back but. You know it's for the better, okay?..", Eric comforts sunwoo, sunwoo continued crying. It seems like he bottled all of this feelings he had since you stayed and since you left.

He regretted it, not talking to you, not telling you how much he loves you. He regrets every part of it.

-AUTHORS POV-

"Maybe she chose not to remember us", Changmin tells as he walks down to the living room.

It was silent.

...

"Hey let's cut some woods?", Changmin looks at the boys but they groaned. Changmin laughed at their reactions.

--

As you came back at the death anniversary. Everything was somehow silent, just some small talks from the people around.

You see your mother at the table talking with some relatives. She smiled at you, you smiled back at her. Sighing you walk to the picture of your father.

Staring at his picture it made you recall some of the memories of him back when you were young.

"Dad.. Magic is real", you whispered and giggled.

Recalling what happened earlier, it was magical and just felt amazing. That little kid. Though you are confused, that house and everything.

You looked back at your father's picture. Trying to remember what happened on the night when he died.

There was a gunshot as you remembered, you followed the man who shot your father then everything after that was a blur, your mother said that you also  got shot because of following the murderer.

Then got a shock.

It felt wrong  though.

You held your head as you tried to dig deep in your memories.

A flashback came.

You walked backwards frightened by the man infront of you, it was the man who murdered your father.

He walks closer to you then suddenly halts. Blood splattered as the blood lands on your dress. The man infront of you was sliced in half.

"Too much things happened today~ Get some sleep." You heard a voice and fell asleep because of the sweet voice you heard.

You opened your eyes again and felt dizzy. Just that flashes and your head already feels like blowing up.

'I don't know what happened to me last Winter but I know it's the missing piece of my life.'

9:25PM

You and your family finally arrived at your house, you sat at the kitchen and ate some snacks. Exhausted on the whole day.

Your mother sits infront of you, "You did great earlier. I have a friend of mine who wants to recruit you". Your mother tells, you look at her confused on what she's talking about. "Piano Lessons". You gasped when your mother says those two worda.

"WHAT?! REALLY MOM?!", You happily shouted and stood up, eyes widened. Irene laughed seeing your reaction.

"Yes, every weekend piano lessons", Irene informs. You nodded.

"Yes ma'am!".

Your mother laughs.

November 7, 2026

It's been a few days, school was exhausting as always. Though finally it's saturday.

You got a text on your phone, you, Jamie and bona's group chat.

Jamie: hehe see ya at the park bona

Bona: GIRL-

Jamie: yeah good luck sweetheart!

Thanks girls! Enjoy!

You smiled and went inside the car to go to you music lesson. It's your first day, you're nervous. Your driver drives you off to the place.

You see the sign, the name of the place.

pour toujours

Excitedly, you walk inside just to see a familiar person. It's your mother's friend.

"Why hello there beautiful", The woman smiled at you, you smiled back as she hugs you. "Welcome to pour toujours!".

The woman introduces you to the place, it was like a elegant restaurant, there was a white grand piano at the center. It looked so beautiful maybe someday you'll play it.

The piano lesson finally started. as you were focusing another student somehow came.

"Oh dear, Younghoon!  You came! How lovely".

You didn't mind them, you just focused on your lessons.

--

After the lessons you bowed and thanked your teacher. As your aunt goes to you, a friend of your mothers whom you call aunt.

"How's the lesson dear?", She asks.

"It was good aunt ahra, actually it was pretty easy so they had to take me to another difficulty", You shared with a giggle. Your aunt ahra wowed and smiled at you.

"You might become a famous Pianist someday dear. Are you self learned?", Aunt ahra asks as she's amazed on your skills. You nodded.

"Yeah.. Don't know why I was self learned..", You scratched your nape, somehow getting the thought of it. Confused.

You know you and your mother are closed but why not bring you to music class back then?

"Well you were home schooled after all", aunt ahra tells, which made you connect the dots.

You nodded, "oh yeah", you giggled.

"Well I'm looking forward on you sweetie. You can have fun or go home it's your choice, I'll just have some tea with my friends". Aunt ahra tells, you smiled at her as you bow. She walks out to the backyard of the place where it had a green and clean garden.

You decided to walk to one white small looking house that has a white piano at the center.

Walking around you hear the piano starting to play, you watched the man playing the piano. He was good playing with it.

As he plays with it a strong wind passes by the open house and blew the papers away that had the music notes.

Gasping, you pick up some of the notes as he stopped playing and also picked up the notes.

"Here you go sir..", You hand the papers to him as he holds the paper and once you look up at him, he also looks at you somehow frozen.

His hands gripped on the paper, his eyes were scanning every bit of you. You were somehow frozen too.

"U-um.. Sir?", you stuttered as he clears His throat and finally takes the paper, sitting back down on the chair.

You furrow your eyebrows noticing how that was rude of him.

The man looks at you, as you notice his looks. He has a black hair and a pale snow white skin. He's handsome not gonna lie.

"Do you wanna play?", He asks.

You shaked your head, "No no.. Haha don't mind me just keep playing sir". You smiled a little to him more like an awkward smile.

He stared at you for a moment. You also looked at him, eyes widem finding this situation pretty awkward.

"Don't you know who I am?", The man asks, you furrow your eyebrows. He is unfamiliar to you.

"I'm sorry sir.. But no..", You scratched your head, wondering why he would ask you that.

"Okay..".

The man nods and continues playing the piano.

Well that was awkward.

You heard your mother say before you left the house.

"Make friends in that place so you can have pianist friends"

Well it's scary, most it if these pianists are like introverts..

"Do you play?", He suddenly asks, you turn your head to him in shock. Thinking that the awkward conversation had ended you were wrong. Not complaining though.

"Yeah.."

Obviously.

"Wanna play?", He asks as he gives you a space on the chair though he still sits on it. It's a pretty long chair though enough for you to sit next to him with.

"Oh um.. I'm too shy", You muttered and smiled at him shyly.

"No it's okay. Come on", He gives you a smile.

You sighed and nodded. As you sat on the chair next to him then turn your head to him , he stared at you.

"What do you want me to play?", You ask.

"Anything that comes into your mind right now", He answers.

You nodded and looked at the piano as you started hitting Some keys.

You're playing : Je te laisserai des mots

The chill afternoon was beautiful. The sunset shined, the orange sky. The glim of light hits your face and the corners of the room.

The man stared at you and smiled. He was loving the way you played on the piano.

It was peaceful, as if you didn't want the moment to end. That you wished the sing was more longer than it usually was so you could just stay more minutes with this man.

This man?

What.

Who even is he?

He's just a random guy who I somehow bumped with in this place.

But why am I having these thoughts about him?

Why do I always feel like something's missing in my perfect life?

Somehow, I felt upset when I finished playing the song.

You looked at him as he gives you a smile, a smile that made you feel weird things. Butterflies in your stomach? No something more than that.

It felt like home.

"You're beautiful", He spits out. You look at him somehow shock on how he said that. As you looked at him he finally realized what he said and seemed troubled. "No, I mean you chose a beautiful song! one of my favorite". He tells.

You giggled. "Thank you... sir..?', You tilts your head.

"Younghoon". He finally tells you his name and gives you a hand for a handshake.

"Y/N", You also introduced yourself and accepted his hand for a handshake.

Somehow as soon as you held his hand you wanna feel his embrace and hug him.

Fuck-

you shake your thoughts and break off the hands contact.

"I'm leaving.. It's almost 5 in the afternoon", You said and stood up.

"You're going home alone?", Younghoon asks.

You shrugged, "Maybe.. My driver told me he'll be out for awhile and I can't contact my mom- wait why am I tell in you this again?". You asked pausing for a moment.

Younghoon laughs at you softly, "I don't know, do you?". He asks raising one eyebrow.

You shaked your head. "This is messed up". You chuckled.

He smiles then went silent for awhile.

He finally speaks.

"Let me take you home"

--

You just met this man a few moments ago, now you're walking with him at the street almost near to your house.

Somehow it was silent.

Not silent silent.

Comfortable silence.

Why?

You sighed and looked at him, as he glanced at you.

"Hm?", He hummed.

"Nothing", You laughed as he laughed a long.

Just a silent walk but both of you can feel how secure it is together. You feel protected and at home with him.

Just why?

Now you're counting off how many 'why's you have used.

You smiled as you halted on your steps. "We're heree". You informed as he also stops on his steps and looks at the house infront of him. He nods.

"Alright.. You go in", He tells smiling at you.

You giggled and nod, "yeah.. Thank you for the company", You bowed at him.

Younghoon smiled and pats your head, "you're welcome.. Now go".

You nodded as you ran to your house.

Somehow you don't feel tired. You feel somehow very happy.

Is he your true love?

Is this what the movies say when they found the one?

Are you finally going to experience true lo----

"M-mom?".

You halted on your steps and walk backwards. As you hit the closed door.

Your eyes widened seeing what's infront of you.

It's your mother kneeling, her neck was being held by someone.

By a girl. You feel like you know this girl.

"Y-y/n.. R-run", Your mother tells you, you're body's shaking. Seeing the girl infront of you choking your mother.

"Sweet home~".

The girl's eyes somehow starting to turn purple as she raised her hands and it threw a strong magic energy to the sky as the ceiling of the house destroyed.

You flinched, as tears ran faster from your eyes.

"RUN Y/N!", your mother yelled. As your hands shaked and you opened the door, as you ran outside.

Crying and sobbing.

You could see Younghoon standing there stunned at the sky that's turning purple, as the magic energy the girl released kept going. The clouds went Grey as the place went some how dark.

Younghoon looks at you as you ran to him and hugged him, almost tripping from your steps. He catched you, holding your hands as he looked at your teary eyes.

"Wha-what's wrong?! What happened y/n?!", He asked worriedly. Looking into your scared eyes.

"M-mom-", You cried as you looked at the house.

Younghoon turns his head to the house as the windows broke, the door opened showing the girl walking outside, smirking.

Younghoon widened his eyes and puts you behind him.

"You're gonna be okay Y/N, just trust me. Close your eyes", He tells. You closed your eyes.

The wind was heavy and getting even heavier. as if a storm was approaching even though there's not.

"Mind your own business Celestian boy", The girl tells as her eyes, as she raises her hands motioning to throw magic energy to Younghoon.

Younghoon groans and raises a wall of ice for defense. You opened your eyes and looked at it, confused.

"Wha-what..?", You ask as he looks at you and held both of your hands.

"You'll be safe", Younghoon assures to you, you nodded your tears tried on your cheeks. He smiled and hugged you.

"We both know she's not". Suddenly a mean appeared. One touch on you, you and the man disappeared.

Younghoon gasped and looked around.
"Y/N!", he yelled.

As he looked outside the ice wall just to see a whole terrifying scene.

The girl flying at the sky, as if she's going to destroy the earth.

"Fuck". Younghoon groaned and run his hand through his hair.

"Where are you Y/N?!".
