"Y/N... I'm really frightened," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "Come on, we need to figure this out." Just then, I heard the unmistakable sound of a door creaking open. "Hey, Y/N... Yuna, are you both in there? Why did you lock the door?" The voice was familiar, but it only made my heart race faster. In a rush of panic, I grabbed my bag and scrambled up the wall, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. "See you later, Yuna... I promise I'll be back soon," I called out, hoping my friend would understand as I made my hasty exit.

Yuna was absolutely terrified. Y/n had gotten herself into a huge mess, and now Yuna could hear her mom banging on the door with increasing urgency. "OPEN IT!" her mom shouted, and Yuna felt her heart race as she scrambled to think of a way to handle the situation. In a panic, she ruffled her hair and tossed some pillows onto the bed where Y/n usually slept, trying to create the illusion that everything was normal. With a sleepy voice, she called out, "CaN'T yOu WaiT fOr a mOmEnT ??" The door creaked open, and her mom pushed past her, making Yuna's anxiety spike even higher. What if her mom discovered that Y/n was missing? Thoughts raced through her mind, filled with frustration and worry. *Aisshhh, Y/n, I can’t believe I ever trusted you!*

"Why did you open the door so late?" her mom questioned, her eyes narrowing. "MoM..... I WaS SLEePiNg......" Yuna stammered, glancing nervously at the pillows. "And Y/n?" her mom pressed, and Yuna felt her stomach drop. "U-umm......... ShE's sLeePiNg tOo~~" she replied, trying to sound convincing. Her mom seemed to be searching for something, and then her gaze landed on the rope hanging out of the window. Panic surged through Yuna as she realized the implications. "And why is the rope hanging here?" her mom asked, and Yuna quickly blurted out, "UMM......... Y/n was checking how strong the rope is." To her surprise, her mom seemed relieved. "Thank God... for the first time, this girl has done something wise. I was looking for the rope." Yuna's mind raced as her mom explained that she had ordered pizza and didn't want to disturb anyone, so she planned to have it delivered via the rope. "Mom?? For real?" Yuna exclaimed, incredulous. "W-what... I want to eat something special sometimes," her mom replied defensively. "Ohk..... CAn I sLeeP nOw~?" Yuna asked, desperate to end the conversation. "Y-yea... And make sure that Y/n is sleeping," her mom said, and Yuna closed the door, exhaling deeply. She felt like she had just dodged a bullet, but the thought of what would happen if Mr. Choi found that.

I was still at the office, and the stress was really starting to get to me, causing a pounding headache. I had been trying to focus on a presentation for an upcoming show, but my concentration was slipping away, so I decided to take a break and grab some tea. I called out to Mr. Kang, my driver, asking him to prepare the car because I needed to get to a café. He promptly replied, confirming he would take care of it. After ending the call, I put on my coat, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over me, and hurried to my car.

As I settled into the back seat, Mr. Kang asked if I was alright. I assured him I was just tired and in need of some tea before heading home. He always treated me with such kindness, almost like a father figure. I couldn't help but remember the day my own father passed away during the announcement of the new CEO for Kim's channel; it was a heart-wrenching moment, and Mr. Kang was the only one who stood by me through my grief. He had always been there to support me, which is why I offered him the job as my personal driver—so I could help him financially since I knew he was struggling too. Lately, I’ve been pushing myself at work, determined to prove to him that I’m strong and capable. Just as I was lost in these thoughts, Mr. Kang suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing my head to jolt against the front seat. Alarmed, I asked what was wrong, and he explained that a woman had stepped in front of the car. I looked out the window and saw a figure draped in white cloth, sending a chill of fear through me.

I can't believe I've been walking for a whole hour without stopping. When I finally took a moment to check the crumpled paper I grabbed in a rush earlier, I realized I looked like a total ghost. As I continued on my path, a car unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere and came to a sudden halt right in front of me. The driver and the boy in the back seat both looked really startled by the situation. After a few moments of silence, the boy in the back rolled down the window, and I approached him to see what was going on.

As she approached me, a wave of fear washed over me. She was draped in a completely white cloth, obscuring her face and making her look almost ghostly. When she extended her hand towards me, I felt paralyzed with uncertainty. In a panic, I fumbled for my phone and wallet, hastily pulling them from my pocket and placing them in her outstretched palm. "Take these... just please don’t hurt me," I stammered, my heart racing. "I’m my mom’s only son, and she would be so worried if something happened to me."

It was so sweet of him; he seemed like such a nice guy. I honestly expected him to just give me some cash, but instead, he nervously handed me his entire wallet, looking really frightened. Just then, I felt my stomach rumble loudly, making a growling noise that echoed in the quiet moment.

"I am hungry."

She seems perfectly fine, but I can't shake off this feeling of distrust. What if she has some sinister plan? What if she actually wants to eat me? Panic sets in as I imagine the worst-case scenario. "No, please don’t eat me! I’ll die!" I exclaim, my voice trembling with fear.

A heavy silence hangs in the air, making my heart race even faster.

Finally, she responds, "Of course you will die, but I won’t eat you." Confused, I stammer, "T-then what do you want?" Her eyes widen with an almost desperate plea as she says, "Please buy me something from the restaurant." Reluctantly, I agree, my heart pounding as I sit in the backseat of her car. We drive to the only place open at this hour, McDonald's. As we arrive, I step out of the car, and to my shock, I realize that she is the same girl I had seen before.
