"What it is?"

Jeongguk asked frowning his eyebrows not be able to suppress the urge to know about the incident.

"Actually we are not sure still now but all of us are assuming that it is the-"

Before he could finish his words, someone pulled him from behind and took him to any other place.

"Come on let me know ! SHIT!"

He cursed under his breathe and pushing the crowd he went inside the room. At a certain place people were watching something from far distance with all the curiosity they have in them.

He pushed them and looked out what actually happened.

"Tae-"

He couldn't even utter his whole name when he saw him in that state. He is lying breathlessly on the floor with his neck completely twisted at a side. His eyes were wide open, which looked like he saw something and was surprised. The most creepy thing was he had an awkward unknown smile on his face. That was creepy. He also saw some drops of blood on the floor.

The whole state was unbearable for him to watch, he didn't realized that his eyes were filled with tears already. This was so hard for him. To watch his best friend lying dead there. He rushed to his body with an expressionless face and touched his face.

"T-Tae"

He tried several times to speak but he didn't have the power to speak out after watching the whole state. His words came out like whisper. He ducked down his head. He couldn't but started to sob badly in front of all. His could feel how cold his body was.

A tormenting pain was seizing his heart out. He don't know what to name it but he rarely experienced this kind of pain. This was not normal. Felt like strings of his heart was torn. Felt like their was already a wound in him and now that wound is bleeding again, someone stabbed there hardly.

His hand unknowing reached Taehyung's ear and he felt something sticky liquid on his hand. It was blood. His ears were bleeding.

But who did that? Any magician with black magic or how one can murder someone to death like this?

The minute this question popped in his mind, he froze at his spot. He felt a severe ache in his head.

What is happening fuck!

He was feeling dizzy and some weird memories were flashing on his eyes. His heart started to beat fast. His breathes became heavy and fast too.

What the hell is appearing? What it is? Why it feels known but completely unknown again?

He held his head with extreme pain. His vision was becoming blurry . He was losing control on himself. The pain was not letting him to sit, he was moving abruptly and was moaning in pain. He could hear his voice muffling in his ears.

But suddenly, he heard a female voice calling his name. The voice was known but he don't know who she is.

Out of the blue, he blanked out in front of everyone. His eyes were shot closed and his body collapsed on the floor.

Instead of helping him out, people started to become more afraid. They were already afraid with the death of Taehyung and the way Jeongguk blanked out, that scared them more.

They were already panicking as they are assuming that it is not Taehyung's normal death.

As the blue lunar eve just passed, they are thinking it is none of than the lullaby demon.

It's been 5/6 months from the last attack of lullaby demon. The students and teachers of every faculty crowded at that certain place to witness that situation though no one had guts to go closer to him.

After a huge meeting, the principal of academy assigned some of the professors to handle the matter and bury Taehyung's body as soon as possible.

The way of his death was terrifying, so they just thought to hide the matter that someone in the academy  is dead. Along with that they announced a week quarantine in their dorms. All kinds of classes and practical shows were closed due to that sudden happening.

————$————

His eyes shot opened suddenly. Without any expression he looked at his surrounding. It was his room. The moment his eyes went went.

"What I am doing here? Taehyung? What they did with him?"

He hanged his foot outside the bed and wore the slippers. Rubbing his eyes, he twisted the knob of the door.

"Why the fuck it's not opening?"

He didn't delayed a minute, enchanting some spells he opened the door. He could see the other rooms of this house is also closed.

Shrugging that of, he went to the exit door to know about Taehyung. He was about to open the door but someone from behind held his hand. He turned around and saw it was one of his dormmate.

"What?"

"You can't go outside"

"Why?"

Jeongguk was at the end level of his Patience. Why so much barriers ?

"Actually all of us are said to be in house for a week and principal prohibited to step out of rooms today."

"Why ? I didn't understand what are they trying to do !"

He almost shouted.

"Come on! It's the lullaby demon! Don't you have mercy for your own life? Save yourself from that demon, try to be safe in house"

"Where the fuck is lullaby demon? Who said that Taehyung was killed by lullaby demon?"

"Who else is going to kill Taehyung ? Just think it logically, no one in the academy ever hated Taehyung. And if it was a murder, have you ever seen a murder where the ears of victim bleeds?"

"What if any magician tried to do anything in this academy?"

"WHAT ABOUT THE EAR BLEED? HOW COME ANY SPELL CAN BE USED FOR EAR BLEEDING? Have you Found any spell like that ? I bet none of like this spell exists."

The other guy screamed to make him understand the matter.

"Where is Taehyung now?"

His voice was so cold and heavy that it was enough to stop the other guy from arguing with him.

"They b-buried his body already"

"WHAT? I DIDN'T- "

Jeongguk felt the same pain at the left side of his chest. He kept his hand on his Chest and sat down on the floor.

"Jeongguk please calm down and go to your room. You are not in good state already. You had panic attacks. You should try to sleep now. Your nerve needs more rest"

He couldn't but sob.

"He was the one who helped me to stood on my feet after such incident. I forgot every little details of my life, he taught me to live, to find myself"

He kept mumbling and sobbing whereas his dormmate was taking him to his room. He reached his room and made Jeongguk sat on his bed.

"Jeongguk-ah, please pace yourself. Everyone is so down and scared with this certain event. Everyone loved Taehyung a lot. Who knew that he will be the victim of lulla-"

"Please shut this shit! I don't want to hear such things again"

He screamed which flinched that guy.

"Okay I won't say that. Please take your care."

He went out of the room and closed the door.

Jeongguk lyed on his bed sobbing heavily with a huge rage of anger. He was broken in to pieces. After his memory loss, Taehyung was the only one who took his care. He tried to started a new life in this academy where he found someone like him.

He couldn't suppress the sorrow he was feeling. He felt it familiar yet unfamiliar. He was feeling that, somehow he felt this sorrow before, sorrow of losing someone so close.

I want to sleep ! I need my nerves to get rest. I need to calm down.

He mumbled and chanted this words again and again like a spell in his mind.

A lullaby! Why I am craving a lullaby like this?

As soon as this craves came in his mind, something made his eyes twice bigger with wonder.

He turned his head around, he was not sobbing anymore.

What it is?
