I don't own TAL, it belongs to Kang Im.


A wish is a wish: A beginning for everything

Li-Mae rants about the supernatural and the two teenagers before her are unable to make a comment. The red-haired boy starts to talk with her while the gray-haired girl beside him focuses on something outside. By the time she shifts her gaze to the boy, he, too, is looking out the window.

Thwack!

He gets smacked by his friend who receives a glare from the silver-haired girl as an answer.

The boy puts his hands up „I'm sorry!" He then leans on the red heads shoulder „Hey, what were you spacing out for? Did our little Yu-Jin see a ghost?"

Jin pushes his friends arm away „Yeah... maybe I did"

„Huh?" The other responds dumbly.

„...I think I really did" Jin whispers serious „And one that looks like it just stepped out of a traditional theme park..."

the girl narrows her eyes and takes out a random book to read.

The silver-haired girl knocks at Jin's house.

He opens the door surprised „Sarah? I'm sorry, I can't right now, I'm going to buy something"

She smiles kindly „I'll come with you, I'll help carry it"

The boy smiles grateful „Thanks, Nunim"

„Why did you buy leek?" Sarah wonders curious, eyeing said object.

The boy looks at it „Mmh... I don't know... This leek is a mystery..." He looks at her „Mu-Young will be back soon, should I save it?"

She gazes at the sky „I'd say so, but you don't know until when exactly..."

She notices something from the corner of her eye and pulls Jin by the arm.

Crack!

The ground gives in and gets destroyed.

Jin shields himself from the flying stones /Who is this guy?!/

The man before them grins and Sarah positions herself in front of Jin when a green-haired attacks him from behind. A bit blood gushes out of his shoulder but not much.

„Are you alright?" Sarah asks scared.

Jin clutches his shoulder „I don't know... but I think so"

„Fine, then I guess I will have to kill him myself" The big guy states, interrupting the two.

Sarah glares at them „Jin, I'll hold them off"

„But...!" Jin shouts but he can't reply anything back.

„No 'but'!" The girl yells „Stay back!"

The bigger man tries to punch her out of the way but she moves to the side and delivers a punch to his face. He stumbles back and holds his face. She notices his companion who walked up to Jin too late. The green-haired girl places a knife against his throat.

An image of an white-haired person flashes through the boys mind and the girls knife is pushed away. With eyes different than usual, he summons two large weapons and attacks his opponent. She gets thrown into her ally and Jin regains his senses, the weapons vanish.

„...Hey!" Someone calls out and everyone looks at the source of the voice „Is there something wrong?"

While the masked man deals with the two attackers, Sarah wraps Jins wound. By the time she finishes, the two are gone.

Sarah sits outside together with Jin and the masked man „Why is this guy still here?" She asks Jin.

Jin shrugs „I don't know. But there are still things unclear... So we should clear them. And I still don't know what's going on"

Yi-Mae explains things to jin while Sarah makes herself a tea. She comes out and listens to them while sipping from her tea. When Yi-Mae holds a weapon against Jin, she kicks him on the head. She glares at him but he ignores her and continues where he left off, but as soon as Jin hits him with a fly swatter she erups with laugher.

Jin looks at her, then at Yi-Mae „Say... is it okay for her to have heard everything?"

She aprubtly stops laughing and glances unsure at the brown-haired male.

Said male smirks „Of course it is, she's a Chachaoong after all"

He chuckles darkly and Jin looks at her owlish. She averts his gaze with an awkward and uncomfortable face.
