Some stories start with tragedy whilst some stories end with tragedy. But what about mine?
It started with a mishap and ended precisely with tragedy.
- Not in this life, Not even in another life that I will fall for a man like I fell for Jeon Jungk...

I must've been there for seconds, maybe minutes, maybe hours... without him I felt like my whole world was sinking in the dark. The clock's hands were stuck in one place, displaying a sharp two in the
afternoon while I was jittering with anxiety.
It had only been an hour without Jungkook but I felt like ages.
Where are you? I'm scared...
I continually kept praying that this might be only another nightmare, just a bad dream I had. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I didn't want to live in the reality of that moment cause reality appeared as a misery to me.
How did BeomHeyon get here? Has he been here since the beginning?
But probably I couldn't have survived that long without confronting him if he had been onboard since the beginning of the sailing, could I?
The only theory I had in my mind was that he got into the Titanic when she was anchored during the stop in Canary Island.
I was sitting on a cosy sofa in Madam Collete's room as she urged me to make myself home there. I was very comfortable and felt very welcomed because of the hospitality of the kind woman. She was trying her best to make me feel better and stable. I was genuinely relieved by her efforts of concern but the agony that was engaging me overlooking that.
My dwelling thoughts dispersed as a soft hand rested on my shoulder.
I turned my head towards the figure behind me with a small smile that depicted the discomfort my mind was going through. My body was curled, and my head was resting on the knees that were pulled towards my body.
"Y/n dear, Oh god, look at you poor thing, you are trembling!" she immediately wrapped a thick coat around me to make me warm.
I was indeed shuddering.
My whole body was trembling like a fever patient with chills. At that point, I couldn't presume whether I was shivering because of the cold or the shock I had.
"Here, have this, you will feel better" Madam Collete gently held my hand and gave me a warm cup of melted chocolate milk. My cold hands managed to take a grip on it without spilling the thing all over the couch.
She left me alone with that, leaving me with my thoughts only. She was a wise person. Her mature measures made me more relieved of apprehension than I was.
Just when I thought I was going to start a new beginning, this mountain of misery and thrones of the past had to tear me down without any mercy. I was no longer safe on this ship. My assassin had already tracked me down.
This first time I may have gotten lucky, but Luck won't be stuck with me for long. Long before, I would get caught in Beom Hyeon's merciless arms and my life would get cut short.
