I woke up.
With a very heavy head.
I've been sleeping alot..
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(I should just start investigating..)*
I stood up. Took my side back filled with necessary stuff like torch, notepad and a camera and made my way to upstairs.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(I should directly aim on finding the workroom.)*
And so, I did.
Firstly, I entered the store room — which was a mess.
Shuffled with random blank canvases.
I opened some cupboards, which were filled with old, dusty books.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(Hmm.. Nothing interesting.)*
I noted down the names of the books. Just in case..
When I closed the cupboard, suddenly, one book, which was kept on the top fell on my head.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
Ouch!
I rubbed my head and picked up the book.
It was a journal — a diary.
Pages were stuffing out of it, suffocating.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*Opens it*
The entrance page was blank.
I flipped the page; causing a bunch of paper pieces to almost fall down.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(Seems like the person torn the pages..)*
I collected them back and flipped another page.
Thankfully, it was neat.
But a very strange message written on it..
Which.. seemed disturbing.
“𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦."
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
..
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(What did this mean?)*
I flipped another page.
A diary entry was written over.
.
"𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺.. 𝘐 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘦'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦. 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵, 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦."

Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(Hallucinating..)*
I flipped another page.
"𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘐 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘮, 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦. 𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘯?"
"𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩."
"𝘐𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦."
Another page..
Blank.
Another page..
Blank.. just blank.
Another page..
"𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺, 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳."
"𝘏𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥— '𝘏𝘺𝘶𝘯𝘨, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵."
"𝘈𝘮 𝘐.. 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘭𝘭?"

"𝘐 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺."

*Flips another page*
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(A note..?)*
"𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘮 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘋𝘢𝘥, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘣𝘺𝘦."

...
I closed the diary and kept it inside my bag.
I moved on from the cupboard and glanced around the room.
I saw a small drawer table.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*Opens it*
It was filled with melted wax.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(Strange.. did someone used to light up candles inside a drawer?)*
I took a picture of it.
Next was a giant canvas; painted with red color standing with the support of the wall.
I slightly touched it, and it suddenly moved, then fell down.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*Flinches*
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
Aah! *Falls down along with the canvas on top*
Agh.. this is heavy.
I managed to push it away from me and sit up.
.. Just to get surprised by the art imprinted on my shirt after it fell on me.
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(What the!? How is the color still intact??)*
I touched the canvas, the color on it was dried.
Then how did it stained my clothes?!
Eun Jihun
Eun Jihun
*(Ugh.. whatever. I should clean this mess first..)*
