The boy looks at the moon, which is shining really bright in the night sky, that is rumored every full moon the curse is lingering in the night. He wonders if the moons really brings the curse in the village or is it the forest? Then, he remembers the book that Namjoon gave him earlier, he went to grab the book, which is laying on the living room couch.

'Tʜᴇ Fᴏᴜʀ Sᴛᴀʀs'

'Why did Namjoon-hyung gave me this book? He already told me the tale.'

He heads to his room, sits on his bed and planning to read the whole book all night.

Yeonjun closed the book and set it aside, putting it on his beside table. He is staring at the wall, thinking a lot of things about the tale.

'Did Namjoon-hyung just lied to me? He never lie, is there a reason that he lied about the tale? Why did Namjoon-hyung didn't tell me the whole story?" Yeonjun thinks.

He just sits, doing the Indian sit, there for a couple of hours, facing down and tries to connect the dots. Which causes him an headache, he can't never think straight if he had an headache. He decided to sleep to get rid of the pain on his head.

He lays down, grab his blanket and cuddled a pillow to help him sleep.
