CHAPTER1. (The confusion)
Blood!! That's what I could see everywhere my eyes landed... The bodies of people who were strangers, yet still felt familiar. With the smell of death and the horror of those bodies, a shiver runs through my body as I watch the scene unfolding in front of me. The smell and eye-itching burn of the fire's smoke, the heart-wrenching cries of people around me...
Why is this happening? Where am I, and why am I here? Questions are running through my head, but there are no answers... The curses of my name and the disgusted expressions on people confuse me. What is going on around me? Why are people blaming me for something I haven't done? So much confusion... As I take the first step, I feel like my feet are on fire. With a pained expression, I lift my feet from the ground and look down, gazing at the surface, only to find out that nothing is there. But then, if there isn't any fire, why are my feet burning? Why do I feel like I should lift my feet from the ground? Why do I have the desire to cry out?... What is going on, and why is it happening to me? All I remember is sleeping at my desk, exhausted from my work, and trying to catch up on the sleep I had lost over the past few months. Too many questions, yet no answers. All I know is I'm not safe.
"NO!" A painful scream came from my way. "YOU!" All of a sudden, a woman was in front of me, looking at me like I was the most disgusting thing in the world. "You are the one who did this," the woman said bitterly. The confusion inside me grew even more... "What did I even do?" I asked, trying to seem unfazed by her expression. *smirks* "A memory loss, isn't it?" she said in a tone that seemed bitter. "Haven't you learned your lesson?" she said angrily. "What lesson?" I questioned with a calm mind... A creeping laugh, that's what I got from that woman. "So! It's true. You were reborn." Huh! What the hell is she even saying? "Ajumma! What are you saying?" I asked in an annoyed tone.
In the answer to my question, I only got another creepy smirk... What is wrong with this old lady... " Just know one thing. This you're the one who will be responsible for the outcome of your family." What? "What does that mean?" I asked, intrigued by her... "The history is repeating itself." A low tone sends a shiver down my spine... "The curse will rise again." Curse? "What type of curse?" "You're not safe, neither is your family." The way she said that angered me. Who is she to decide my future? 'Growls' "Do not say anything bullshit about my family." "Burns, doesn't it? Don't worry, it will be worse than the burn I gave you." She whimpered in my ear. "Fate has started its games, Choi Hana." Shocked is what I was. "How do you know my name?" I asked in a shocked tone. "Be careful with whom you put your trust. This world will eat you alive if you are not careful." My question was answered, and all of a sudden she was gone. Darkness consumed me, and it felt like I couldn't breathe. Why, what, and how were the words repeating inside my head... My lungs were filled with agonizing smoke, the heart-wrenching throb inside my heart. Please, someone help me... This confusion will kill me
