Areum and Suyin conversed through the night in their bed before sleeping in the abandoned home. Areum explained about the forest"s name that was the name of a person who used to take care of the forest, but it was commonly called the "Forest of Lost Souls" by citizens of both sides of the Long and Qin side as rumored."Did you know why it was called the Forest of Lost Souls?" Suyin questioned, laying in bed, staring at the cobwebs on the ceiling.
"Hm... good question. I don"t know either. The servants back at home often called it that and they would shiver. The servant who looked for us back then didn"t want to come, but was bribed with money." Areum shrugged, playing around with one of the hay.

"Oh, I heard rumors before." Suyin turned her body towards Areum, facing her. She stuck out both of her hands like a claw, moving it in a rhythm as she creepily smiled at Areum. "People said that they would hear footsteps in the forest or lights that appear out of nowhere. If you follow either one of them, your spirit gets lost in this forest forever." Areum watched Suyin with a scared expression. "There are also sayings of many dead bodies here and that they endlessly walk through this forever. That"s why it"s called the Forest of Lost Souls because many spirits can"t move on because they cannot find their way out." Suyin smiled, "And to be apart of the group..." Suyin aimed her index finger at Areum. "I"m sacrificing you so that I can survive! Muhahaha!" She teased, causing Areum to jump at Suyin"s laugh.
"Stop it!" Areum sulked, curling up into a ball.
"I"m just kidding. Let"s stop talking and really head to bed before we really won"t get any rest for tomorrow." Suyin said, covering her mouth as she yawned.
That night, Suyin and Areum heard rustles of leaves due to strong winds. It scared the two thanks to Suyin"s fictional made-up story and Areum decided to move her haystack of bed to sleep right next to Suyin (which she definitely was glad to have a sleeping partner that night because she scared herself too.)
