"Gosh! Why isn't Luna picking up my call? Is she offended with me somehow?" Noah was quite restless while standing on his balcony holding his phone while thinking.
"I shouldn't have sent the tulips prior to her consideration! Maybe 12 years has no change on my heart but I shouldn't have approached her with the flowers. Ahhggg, she must be awkward around me now!
I think I should give her a surprise visit at her mansion! I will explain to her everything..." Noah mumbled with a small grin on his face while gazing at the dark sky...

Alex's POV:
It was raining heavily... The roads were clogged with muddy waters. I... I was in a car... A small, old vintage car. Someone was driving anxiously while I was seated next to that person all panicked. My heart was beating extremely fast. With my shivering hands, I took out the pair of keys and clenched it hard with my eyes filled with tears. I...I was very scared...
"Ahhh damn it! The rain is slowing down the car! Shit!" The person beside me shrieked out in frustration as he seemed to reach somewhere desperately.
"Please... Please let me reach her soon... I want to see her...I want to give her these keys... I desperately want it!" I prayed to the deities silently while clasping the keys firmly.
Soon we reached our destination. It was a very small house with a small yard in front of it. The yard was filled with different flowers especially tulips, but they all seemed to be drooped! My heart throbbed painfully to see the miserable condition of her beloved house yard! I almost plunged out of the car and rushed towards the main door. But to my surprise the main door was open! My body shivered in distress...
As I reached the main door my heart received a humongous blow on it! I was completely frozen to witness the horrendous sight! She... She was lying on the ground facing the door with a thin line of blood flowing down from the side of her tainted lips! She... She wasn't breathing! Her eyes were open as if... She was waiting for me at the door... Beside her, the wooden floor was stained with a lump of blood-vomit! I never even imagined in my dream to see her in that horrific state! Her pale-white gown was covered with blood droplets...
"No... It can't happen....No...
HAAAAAA-EEEUUUUNNNNNN!"
...
"Huh?" I sprang up on my bed covered in a cold sweat! I was huffing breathlessly as if I was too scared with that sight!
Immediately I looked around and it was my hotel room. I looked outside the window and it was already morning, the weather was sunny outside.
I rushed from my bed to have some water as I was extremely anxious. My body was still getting mild tremors.
"What was that? What did I saw now? Wh-Why did that lady ... Why did she look like Luna? Or more prominently, she looked the gentle Luna I always meet in my dream! Why did I scream at her with a different name?
Ha-Eun? Who is that? I feel... I have heard this name somewhere!
What the f*ck is happening with me? Is it a nightmare again? Or... Or it is some... blurred memory? Why am I seeing all these? That's all because of this room! I don't like to stay inside unknown places! I... I feel terrible..." I was mumbling nonchalantly as I was frightened with the odd dream! Nervously I looked at the watch, it was around 8 am.
"Good! It's almost time for the survey! I will stay outside of this confined room..." I rattled slowly while gazing outside the window.

Luna's POV:
It was around 10 am. I was already dressed up and waiting for Alex near the lobby of the hotel along with Mr. Ri. Within a moment, Alex accompanied by Mr. Shin came and was gently walking towards us.
But today, he was looking a bit different from the rest days! His confident face seemed too pale and he didn't even smile at me while approaching. He looked anxious somehow.
As they reached towards me I greeted him first with a small grin, "good morning, Mr. Choi!"
"Ye-Yes! Good morning!" His reply was cold as ice.
Soon we reached our industry and the members greeted us with the utmost respect. While following them to our inspection area I glanced at Alex, his face looked very dark. As if he was lost in some deeper thoughts...
"Umm, Mr. Choi? Are you alright?" I inquired him in a dense voice.
"Yes. Why?" He retaliated my question quickly.
"I don't know, but look very worried today! And, I also want to apologize for yesterday's odd behavior. Sorry, I acted a bit strangely leaving you alone there!" I was speaking quite restlessly with a fidgeting expression.
He was awfully quiet for some time. After a moment he glanced at me with his fretful eyes. "I... I had a weird nightmare today! I don't know how to describe it but somehow it shook my soul!" He responded to me in a cryptic manner.
As we reached the inspection area I noticed that it was a big chamber piled up with racks of raw materials. So here we need to inspect the quality of the materials.
"Ma'am and sir, please investigate these materials. I along with Mr. Shin will wait for you outside." Mr. Ri spoke to me before leaving the room along with his secretary.
As I walked inside the room, I observed Alex was quite reluctantly entering inside it. The chamber was quite congested with materials and it had a dull light, as darkness was necessary for the preservation of materials. He was constantly fidgeting while glancing at the light.
"Are you afraid of the dark?" I asked him gently as his behavior was piquing up my curiosity.
"Umm, no--"
Suddenly it was a complete blackout before he could complete his sentence! Probably it was a power cut! But the backup supply should work in the industry...
"What's this? Why it's dark? Mr. Shin? Mr. Shhiinnn?" To my shock, Alex started screaming loudly being totally panicked. He seemed extremely terrified with the power cut as we were inside the chamber! I was too bewildered to see this side of him.
Slowly I tried to approach him in the dark, "Mr. Choi! Please calm down--"
"Where is the f*cking light? Mr. Shin? Where are you?" Alex was shrieking like crazy even before listening to me. The situation was getting worse.
Immediately I took out my phone from the purse and turned on the flash. As I flashed the light on his face, I saw an extreme solicitous view!
Alex was trembling in fear while he was standing all wobbly holding a rack as support like a small child in fear. His eyes looked dreadful as well as tears of angst were rolling down his cheeks. He was biting his lips desperately to stop himself from crying!
I was totally shocked to witness this completely new Alex.
