'Walking through the chapters of my life
I forgot that I was the one
who's in control of it '
- Coraline

Muffled cries and rustling of clothes.

Jimin woke up. The house had been nothing the same after that corpse arrived. He was scared. He wanted to cling onto someone. He wanted to scream and cry but no one would understand the heart of that little one.

(A/n : Please play the video! You can hear the music while reading ! It would add more effects! Pretty please?)

He was going to married to that corpse. No one would be able to prevent what was coming. He was just a child who should be blooming like a flower in his family. It felt as if someone had cuffed him to a big stone. He had no power and energy to free himself from this mental abuse. He wanted to be freed from this house. He was tired of living like a dead.

He covered himself with his blanket as he shook in fear. Tears dropped endlessly from his beautiful brown. That corpse was upto no good. He could just tell it from the first time he laid his eyes on it. Couldn't fate just give him a normal father and a mother?

(A/n : According to you who's the worst? The father or the mother?)

He stayed up all night. He couldn't sleep. He could hear the clinking of bangles and laughter.

" Pst.... Look at this little kid! He's going to be my groom!" A voice whispered in his ears.

Jimin was about to scream but he couldn't find a voice to do that since he was too scared. A little later, that voice boomed again.

" Are you afraid of me? Ha ha!"

" Leave me alone!" Cried Jimin. He got up and looked everywhere. No one was there.... He panted heavily and clutched his bossom. He wanted to run away. He looked at Nancy who was sleeping peacefully.

" Must be my imagination.... I should sleep...." He tried to calm himself and lied down .

" Little fellow.... How nice! I will be freed soon!" giggled that shrill voice again.

" Please leave me!" He mumbled and covered his ears.

He got up again and looked around. Like the previous time , there was no one around.

" I can't sweetheart! But you know, I won't marry you this fast! I need to complete myself as a woman and of course you need to be a grown up."

" I am not marrying you!" He insisted as he tried to keep his cool. She would disappear everytime he would try to communicate.

" That isn't upto you! Your father.... Or I should rather say my future father in law is already going to get you married to me. Come on darling! "

" Why do you keep disturbing me?"

" Am I not pretty enough to be your wife?"

" Every one is pretty and handsome in my eyes. That's not my reason. "

" I can't agree with you sweetie...."

And oh for the sake of the heavens and almighty , that frail kid was all huddled up waiting for the sun to show it's face in the blue sky! The chattering of the corpse continued.

When it was 6 , all the sounds stopped. Jimin wiped his moist and reddened eyes. He shouldn't be staying in bed now. He got no sleep and had no choice but to sit down and study.

The servants and his parents got up one by one and the regular routine continued. Nancy wasn't aware of what was going on with him.

" Young master! Why are your eyes so red early in the morning?" questioned the concerned motherly figure.

" Umm... It's nothing... I didn't get much sleep yesterday. Anyway , Nancy did you hear any noise yesterday?" asked the little one gathering up all his courage.

" Noise? I didn't hear any .... Why? Was there something you heard?" replied Nancy as her forehead wrinkled.

The little kid shook his head in denial and forced a smile. Nancy's forehead returned to its normal state. She smiled back and went towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

There was no wonder why she was sleeping peacefully. Why was he the only one who heard them?

He stared at his book which he had opened . The things that were written on it appeared hazy.

" What is wrong with me?" He wondered and rubbed his eyes. Was it because of not sleeping throughout the night?

The surprising thing was that he was not sleepy at all. He had once stayed up all night when he was four years old. He remembered clearly how much he wanted to return back to his bed after getting up.

Hearing some noises in the living room , he peeked through the window. He saw his father squatting on the floor with his hands on his face. He appeared to be panicked and concerned.

" Search everywhere! I don't want to know that you all have failed to find her! She must be within this house. "

The servants nodded and ran in different directions.

" I warned you before. Pst.... I swear if this harms us in any way , I am going to divorce you! " Declared Jimin's mother who stood at a corner with her hands crossed on her chest. She was not drunk.

" I didn't know the corpse would leave the room on its own ! "

" For fuck's sake she disappeared!" shouted Jimin's mother.

" Mind your language!"

And there was the sound of a slap which was heard then.
