Heidi clears her throat as she's about to begin her story about her wristband. Apparently, it's cliche to say but really, that's her birthday present given by her friend, or Jungkook's so-called pet, Jaykee. As that Jaykee girl has transferred to their highschool, they'd been deskmates for two years until they're graduated.

What makes this wristband special is, it's a DIY work. No one can ever find the same design from stores or markets ahead. It is unique, like her.

"How is your friend now?" asks Bogum curiously, making Heidi gulps as she's never expected to answer this sort of questions. This is the secret only us Bangtan members know, the secret among the sevens. No one else can ever get to know about those complicated relationships as this leads not only ourselves but the others to great danger. I hope Heidi will think twice or even thrice before answering.

"Well, she's good. Continuing on her studies in Reading, living her normal life as usual and so on." Heidi shrugs as the councils acknowledge her answer.

"That's great." Jaebum says with a smile. "But I wonder how you get in here, I mean this realm you know." He adds, pointing downwards at the table. Finally, my hands slam the table while I stand up.

"I brought her here." I answer. By now, all eyes are on me and I'm proud of myself for not feeling nervous and anxious. "It's my faulteu." I continue while Heidi looks down at her hands in complication.

I know that Jaebum is hoping for an answer he wants. He desires to hear about Jungkook's relationship with Jaykee from Heidi's own mouth. Such a dangerous person to be aware of. Bogum eventually raises one of his eyebrows as if he's expected that answer of mine a few minutes ago. His expression shows surprise and interest. He crosses his arms while the others do the same, except Heidi. She raises her head occasionally to ensure if I'm okay to deal with those obstacles. Clearly, I can and I will fight for her, till the end.

I don't know why I'm getting angry after Taetae has answered for Haylee. Maybe he has admitted about the truth written in the letter, the truth which points out how Haylee ends up here and being locked up in a room. Taetae is showing us that Haylee is his, but she isn't. In fact, he knows.

Knowing that Taetae will defend my soulmate against me, my eyes turn darker when rage starts boiling up my temper. Though no one will notice the change happens on my orbs as all of us are busy having our desserts, mango puddings.

In Taetae's pudding, I've asked the maidens to add in a little secret ingredients in case anything goes wrong. That tiny speck will soon drain out his powers and strength, so I can get the chance to win Haylee back. As Haylee takes her first bite on the pudding, I can hear strange noises surrounding her. Slowly, there are puffs of white smoke spinning around and over her in conscious states. The deaths. She must have eaten Taetae's food, which is made from the dead souls. Naive.
