I walk home from the school a bit late because of our project and it's already pass dinner time.

I sigh as I warm my hands inside my cardigan over my pullover, feeling chilly as the cold wind blew on me.

There were still people walking around the street making me look around as I search for a food stall.

tteokbokki tteokbokki tteokbokki

I chanted and pout before finally seeing one a few metre away from me.

"Asa!", I celebrate and run towards it.

"Two serving of tteokbokki, three fishcake and one serving of kimbap please"

I smile at the old lady as she nod and start filling the plates.

I felt warm again and dug my food hurriedly knowing I'm still about 10 minutes away from my home.

Silent echo in my ears as my neighbourhood seems quiet than ever. Maybe it's because I never came home this late.

Just as I was about one block away from my home, I saw a silhouette from afar watching my direction as I felt goosebumps all over me.

I didn't want to act scared so I pretend I didn't saw and hurriedly walk to my house.

Sigh

I quickly open the door to be greeted by silence. My parents were probably in their room so I went to greet them letting them know I came home and went to my own room.

"What was that about?"

I ask myself as I thought about the possibility of seeing a ghost.

"Aushhhh"

I shiver again and went to wash up before going to bed myself.

"What a long day"

I mumble as another dark figure disappear from my window.

☂︎☂︎☂︎

"Yaaa! Did you guys hear any unusual news this morning?"

A guy came running to us earning some ears.

"No, what happened?", Sohee answered and we all nod our head indicating we didn't hear anything either.

Jaehyuk breathe in and out before sitting next to me, putting one of his arms in my shoulder and motion us to lean in closer.

"Apparently there's a serial killer in the neighbourhood. I heard some officers gossiping in their car before I arrived the school gate".

"What?" we shouted in unison and he told us to shut our mouth.

"Seems like its still a secret and the Police are trying to find the killer without scaring the villagers"

We nod our head and all of us made a face that shows we kind of gets creep out by the sudden news.

I thought back to what I went through last night.

I'm just imagining

I didn't want to freak out my friends more so I stay silent until our class started.

But my mind never left the silhoutte that was watching me the previous night.

What could it be and what do they want?
