Shin woo laid on his bed, with his phone in hand. He had been staring at it for a long while, heaving sighs in frustration.
"Why hasn't she called?" he said, almost in a whisper. It was already past nine and he had been waiting.
"I'm such a fool. I should have taken her number instead" he sat up on the bed. "Why am I even bothered? She must have slept off since it's late." He looked at his phone again, hoping it will ring. But after ten minutes, no one called.
"Damnit!" He cursed, flinging his phone to the other side of the bed. He laid and drew the duvet over his body to cover himself, he closed his eyes shut.
"Arrghh.....!" Shin woo heard a loud scream which jerked him from the bed. Quickly, he rushed to Jana's room. He opened the door and turned on the lights. What he saw made his heart ache.
Jana was on the floor, hugging her legs, sweating bullets and crying profusely.
"Jana...." He walked to her, crouching to her level. He touched her and she jerked, looking at him. Fear was written all over her as she inched away from him.
"Jana, it's me" Shin woo said. Jana looked at him as if contemplating who he was. Then the next moment, she wrapped her hands around, hugging him tightly as if he was going to disappear. Her grip was so tight that he could hardly breathe. He lifted his hand and patted her back.
"Jana, I...I can't breathe" he said
"Please don't me leave, brother" Jana cried.
What made her cry? "I'm not going anywhere" Shin woo said. She released him a little so he could breathe.
He rubbed her back slowly and patted her head "What's wrong?" He asked
"I...I had a nightmare" she replied in between cries "I'm s-scared"
"Don't be. I'm here alright? Do you want to talk?"
Jana shook her head immediately.
"Alright, you can tell me later. Now get up. The floor is cold" he said as he tried to lift her up.
"Brother please, don't leave me here alone" she cried.
"I won't go anywhere. I'll stay with you, alright?" He wiped her wet face from the tears, but they kept on coming.
"Lay down" he said and Jana obeyed. But she didn't fail to grip his shirt. He sat beside her and rubbed her hair.
What kind of nightmare did she have that made her so scared? Something is definitely wrong with her. Maybe he should take her to a therapist, because she's been acting strange for some time now.
After some minutes, she drifted to sleep, but the grip on his shirt was was still too tight, so he had no choice but to sleep beside her.

Arianna pushed the door, kicking it with her leg, it closed shut. Surprisingly, everyone was at the still awake at midnight and they panicked at her reaction.
"Arianna, where have you...." Yoo Na couldn't complete her words as Arianna's murderous glare met her, she flinched. Does she know? Did she hear her voice?
Arianna was furious. She ordered for her kidnap? Aren't they so funny? She had thought about it, she wasn't going to stay here anymore. She doesn't care if she becomes a maid, servant or mistress of CEO Han, all she wanted was to leave. Leave this hell of a house.
But about being a mistress, can she do that? Well rumours says he doesn't like women. He's probably gay. So the probabilities of being a mistress are very slim.
She had been glaring at them for a while before walking to her room in murderous steps.
Rosalie looked at her parents, disappointed. She also stood up and left in anger. Two reasons: Arianna is her half sister, and second her parents kept it away from her.
Arianna laid on the bed as she tried to sleep. She remembered her mother once more, but this time the tears never came as she had cried a lot.
"Mum..." She voiced " I'll make sure to deal with him for you. He'll regret ever abandoning us and hurting us" she said.
Soon, she drifted to sleep as she felt pain all over her body.

Zayden laid on his bed, his eyes closed as he was asleep. He smiling due to the dream he was having, but later that disappeared.
In his dream, he was speaking to a lady and she was blushing, showing her pearly-white teeth. Her face wasn't clear in the dream, he could only make her silhouette. And with that, he knew she was pretty. But she was human.
Soon everything disappeared, including the smile on his face. He found himself standing on an isolated land covered with mist. A figure appeared, walking towards him.
"Who is it ?" Zayden asked. The figure reached him and he could now see face clearly.
"Hello, prince Zayden" the man said with a grin.
Zayden frowned "Isn't it disrespectful to walk into a person's dream? Especially a prince, Duke Kang Jimyeong " he asked sternly.
"Is it?" Kang Jimyeong spoke "I thought this would be the most secluded area to speak to you"
"What do want to say?"
"I cannot say it here as I have limited time in people's dream" he said "Come over to the palace let's discuss over tea"
"I'm not interested" Zayden spoke curtly
"You would be when it has something to do with your brother "
Zayden's brows creased when he heard that "And what about him?" he asked.
"I'll tell you when you arrive at my residence." Kang Jimyeong turned, making an attempt to leave but then stopped. "You might want to come quickly, incase he comes back and take the throne from you" he said and disappear into the mist, with a smirk.
Zayden's eyes opened and he sat up on the bed. He scoffed. Who does that old demon think he is? What does he want to tell?
