29 August 1999
A lone car drived into the fox ridge.
Inside, a little girl happily opened a musical carousel her parents gifted her for her birthday.
The little girl was nearly of 5-6 years old.
She had long black hair which came up to her back and very cute and chubby cheeks. She had a faint blush on her cheeks and had big and mesmerizing eyes. She was looking like a living doll, laughing and giggling , unknown to what was going to happen...
Outside the street lights were extinguishing one after another as the fog was descending.
The fox ridge seems to extend , long and longer, soon people inside the car had no idea where were they heading....
The fog crossed the windshield and the car turns upside down.
.
Little Nam Ji-ah opened her eyes and found that her parents are very injured and unconscious. They were bleeding and she couldn't help, tears rolled down her cheeks.
She saw two figures and yells for help. They crouch down and...she saw her parents!!?
She screams and wake up, safe and sound at home. She runs towards the living area and saw her parents watching tv. She was greatly relieved that it was just a dream. She played happily with her musical carousel ,until she notice that one of the horse is missing in the toy, then she sees a spot of blood in her sleeves. She then hear her parents laughing watching the news report on casualties from a devastating fire.
That was so unusual.
This could not be a coincidence right?
Ji-ah then asks for some walnut cakes , so her mom goes to the kitchen to grab some. She hides a pair of scissors behind her back and reminds her mother that she is allergic to walnut which her doctor mom would never forget.
She stabs her "mother" in the leg, demanding to know where her real mom is. Her "mother" attacks her and enlists the help of her "father." Ji-ah escapes and runs upstairs. She locks herself in her room, shoving some furniture against the door.
The door knob falls out as her "parents" bangs the door, and a beast like hand reaches trough a hole and her "father" growls
"I can see you, now be a good girl and come out or else...."
and suddenly there was a slashing sound and animal like whimpers.
And suddenly a tall and slender figure appear there, LEE YEON was in the room with her, holding a red umbrella. "Are you Ah-eum?"
he asked. A golden vapor flew from his hand towards her, and he sighs that she's not. He kneels down, his golden cat-like eyes staring at Ji-ah. He says " Forget everything that happened right now" he goes close to her ear and whispers "...or else....you won't like the consequences"
Bewildered little Ji-ah was now standing in the road by her parents' car ; screaming and sobbing until the police arrived . Their bodies were gone .
Yeon surveys the scene from far and vanishes.
