29th January: New Year day
???
(She could hear the continuous, rhythmic and synchronized sound of the whistling and the beating of some kind of stick, probably a walking stick, at particular, but in very short intervals. It clearly did not sound like as if it was being used to walk, rather it was like as if it's beat was being used as a chilly background music.)
She realized that her legs had turned numb since she had been crouching down behind the sofa all this while. Her face was all sweaty and her hair falling all over her face. She covered her mouth more tightly with both her hands making sure that not even the sound of her breathing could be heard
The synchronized chilling music continued, and the clock seemed to be enjoying, providing an extra sound to the other two inside the house. The atmosphere, both inside, and outside were grave, shady and contrastive. It was raining cats and dogs outside, meanwhile the dark house with no lights switched on, had pin drop silence except the eerie sync. Suddenly a spec of dust entered her nostrils, and...
???
"Achoo!" (Unwillingly came out the sound which she had been trying to suppress since long)
???
(Even though it was negligible, but she knew that he had heard it. She quietly opened the cupboard beside her and again making sure not to make a sound, she crept into it, closed the door gently. She stood there, wishing to skip the horrible night, her legs trembling about to give away. )
The eerie sync of the whistling and the rhythmic beating of the walking stick suddenly stopped and hers heart seemed to skip a beat. For all this while she had almost gotten used to the sync, but its sudden absence made her hear her heart beat even more so clearly that she prayed that it would stop beating.
He whistles
The eerie sync of the whistling and the rhythmic beating of the walking stick suddenly stopped and hers heart seemed to skip a beat.

"Creech", the cupboard door opened and to her worst nightmare, she saw a smile on his face except that this time it was filled with evil.
？？？
"Now let's end this hide and seek game shall we?"
？？？
(He raised the walking stick over his head and with one strike, blood splashed on the walls of the cupboard.)
The rain's sound covered up the horrific environment inside the house and they pedestrians could know nothing about the disappearance of a soul from this world.
？？？
(With three to four more strikes on the bleeding dead body he looked satisfied)
？？？
(then pulls out a small gray notebook from his coat's pocket and scribbled something in it)
？？？
“Another well spent day
-421092”
？？？
(Standing up he flipped and closed the notebook and sliding it back into his pocket he walked out of the room.)
The next morning a police team were investigating the scene and the team leader was busy talking to the higher ups on his phone.
At a distance, Kim Yoona, a regular patrolling, diligent police officer looked indulged in deep thoughts.
Kim Yoona
Another homicide in the same month that also in the same locality... (She sighed and continued mumbling) who is this psychopath?
Han Jaehwi
(standing next to Yoona taking case notes of the crime scene) Whoever is doing this must enjoy doing it (absent minded)
Han Jaehwi
Oh- nothing *smiles*
Kim Yoona
(the team leader calls) yes sir! coming.
Han Jaehwi was another co officer in charge.
Flipping close a small gray notebook in which he was jotting down the case notes, he walked towards the police van, whistling softly.
Kim Yoona
(the team leader calls) yes sir! coming.
Silent Watcher
The night is grave and dark. It seems like as if it has a lot to say but cannot since it's dumb. The shady white moon painted high up there and the clouds surrounding it gave it a weird idea for imagination that it was an eye starring at the pitiful world below in a silent mocking gaze.
Kim Yoona
Who knows if you're laughing too? You witness every dark corner and their happenings at night but still choose to remain silent up until the morn and behave like nothing's happened? Does that seem fair?
Jung Woo-young
And who are you talking to again?
A hand came over her shoulder
Jung Woo-young
What's going on?
Jung Woo-young
(Her voice barely above a whisper) You're not still obsessing over that case, are you?
She was a reporter and a friend of Kim Yoona
Kim Yoona
(Her gaze didn't waver) I can't shake the feeling that we're missing something. Three murders in a month, all in this Willow Creek... it's like the killer is mocking us.
Jung Woo-young
Maybe it's not about the place. Maybe it's about the victims
Kim Yoona
(her eyes narrowed) I've thought of that. But what connects them? They're all different ages, backgrounds... nothing makes sense
Blossom Park was known for its eye-catching view of cherry blossoms, the trees and the large lake by it. The lake was a living heavenly scene with all its surface decorated with the pink petals of the flowers and the clear water which shone when the moonlight reflected on it. Amidst of all this, in the past 1 there has been three murders already and the killer is still loose, perhaps roaming amongst the passersby.
Jung Woo-young
How's Jaehwi?
Kim Yoona
Oh him! He's just doing fine. He does not have much to think and is always in a jolly mood. Roaming around basically
Jung Woo-young
Hush (suddenly)
Jung Woo-young
Did you hear it Yoona? (alert) Someone's coming
Kim Yoona
Yes. Maybe this w...
