There was this one park in your hometown to which you were unknowingly attracted since childhood. No, not a negative attraction. But a positive attraction. Like a pull. Especially to that certain pond in there.

Your parents always warned you to never go there cause it had....ghosts? Nonsense. That park was no less than a fairy garden.

Now you were an adult of 25 years old and since you could make decisions in the comfort of your own life, you decided to visit that park. It took about two hours to drive from Seoul city to your old hometown.

The boy opened his eyes and his eyes were hazel brown. He tried to move but the thorns restricted his movements.

The boy looked up at your frozen state and smiled, eyes glistening with tears falling down his cheeks as his honey-like voice shook.
