"There there. Stop crying will you?"

Wiping her tears furiously, Hana stuffed her face onto the sweater Hoseok was wearing to hide her tears away. To hear the man narrate the entire story out, wrenched her heart so much and despite not being her past self, the human girl herself was still unable to control her sadness.

"You've waited for so long." Hana sniffled as Hoseok embraced her tightly. "You've suffered so much throughout the years."

Hana's eyes twinkled with amazement at the books dated even back to years ago, all preserved and kept just as they originally were. Their footsteps stopped when they were standing before a secured door.
