I woke up in a weird bedroom. I sit up, groaning.

My eyes widened when I realized that I'm in Hera's bedroom.. back in the 80s.

I stand up and look out the window, seeing a young Harin and her family with friends. I look at the banner..

Harin's 7th Birthday

My eyes widened then I look around for a calendar...

February 5, 1986

Then this must be the day that Harin got her doll. I look around her room and everything looks normal.

I exited her room and went to the next room beside it. It looks like Jongsook's room.

I look out at the window again and saw the exact dollmaker giving her a gift like how Kigyeong said.

I heard the door open and turn around. It was eldest child, Jongsoo. He also doesn't seem to notice me.

Is it because I'm not from this timeline or this is just a dream? A dream of thr past?

He was holding a small envelope though. He put it inside the drawer of the bedside table.

My eyes widened when I saw that bedside table when me and the boys explored the abandoned mansion.

"Jongsoo," Jongsook came into the room and he turned his gaze to his little brother.

"That doll.." He looked directly at him but Jongsoo only looked away.

"I know... it's made with an actual human skin.." I was disgusted by what he said but I already knew that.

"Our sister is a psycho.." They both avoided eye contact as Jungsoo said that she's a psycho.

In a blink if an eye, I was in a school...

Wait.. this looks like my old school?

I went to my classroom and my eyes widened when I saw Hwara there with her doll.

Students laughing at her but she doesn't seem to care until a girl walked up to her and grabbed the doll by its hair.

"You're such a child~ you're 12 years old yet you still bring dolls to school. What loser!" She stick her tongue out.

"Give Hera back!" She shouted, standing up from her chair and try to get the doll back but the girl threw it to her classmates.

Harin tried to chase them but one if them threw it back to the girl.

"Want your doll back? I'll give you your doll back once it's broken." She ripped the arm from the doll and Harin froze.

She looked down before walking towards a chair and carrying it.

"You asshole.." She glared at the girl before throwing a chair at her. Everyone gasped as the girl dropped the doll and was thrown back by the chair.

Harin threw the chair at her again and grabbed another one, throwing it to the people who touched her doll.

Everyone was shaking at this point. Some of them tried to leave the room but she threw.. uhmm.. scissors at them.

She starts dragging a table and finally pick it up before throwing it at the girl.

I shut my eyes, hearing the girl scream and bones cracking.

The next minute, teachers was rushing into the classroom with doctors to help the severely injured students.

Harin grabbed her doll, leaving the room with it like nothing ever happened.

I followed her but ended up in a basement. My eyes widened when I was chained up to the table.

I turn my head to see the dollmaker there with tools to cut up stuff. I look to my right and saw fluff there.

I tried to move but I couldn't.

That is until I heard the door open. It was Harin.

Harin smiled at me before walking to my side. She caress my hair.

"Such a beautiful girl. You tried to ruin my doll and now, I'm gonna ruin your body." She said then I looked up, seeing a mirror there.

I'm in the body of the girl..

The dollmaker then walked towards me and I struggled to break free. He has a scalpel and it met my skin until he went deeper.

I scream in pain until Harin opened my mouth and pull out scissors. She pull out my tongue before leaning the scissors near it.

"NO!!"

I sit up, breathing heavily. I look around, seeing myself in my room again.

I wipe my sweat off before getting up from my bed and remembered what Jongsoo put in Jongsook's drawer.

I walk to Haechan's room, not caring if he's asleep or not since it's just 7 am.

I slowly opened the door and saw him on him sitting on his bed, breathing heavily as well.

He looked at me like he just saw something shocking and creepy.

"Did you have a dream too... about Harin?" He asked then I nodded, realizing that he had the same dream.

"It looks like we only have a limit. We need to find out before Harin's death anniversary or else, we'll die as well." He said then  y eyes widened.

"When is her death anniversary then?" I asked but he only grabbed his calendar.

"May 21.. we have less than a week to solve. We need to find out everything and when I mean everything..

I mean, every single thing." He said then the door opened, revealing Jaemin.

"You guys have visitors." He said then me and Hyuck look at each other first before rushing downstairs.

We both froze when it was Kigyeong and Haechan's parents.

"Mom, dad. What are you guys doing here?" He walked towards them but I saw one more person behind Kigyeong.

I walk towards the person and Kigyeong noticed. She moved aside and I was frozen on my spot.

"Haechan.. look.. it's him." I called him and pointed at the boy and girl in front of us.

"I thought that it was only you that's alive.. why are you here too?" Haechan walk to my side as the two just avoided eye contact.

"I had to fake my death.."

"Kim Hana and Kim Jongsook."
