Wall 1

And again, Happy got into an argument with her mother during dinner. Happy is the first child of the family and is considered the ugly duckling by her mother. When her mother had high hopes for her, Happy turned out to be not what they expected. Being treated differently from her brother became a common sight."

"What does 'Happy' mean if I'm living without feeling the meaning behind the name I've been given?" Happy often thought this to herself.

Therefore, every night when everyone at home was fast asleep, Happy would sneak out of the house to clear her mind or sometimes just to cry. There was one place she would always visit - a big house of Carols.

Yes... Mr. Carol, who was the richest person in Green Village. However, the house itself had been uninhabited for a long time because years ago, the family was hit by bad news that caused them to leave the village.

The house owned by the Carol family had a beautiful flower garden, which seemed to reflect Mrs. Carol's love for it. Despite the house being uninhabited for a long time, the Carol family still hired someone to maintain the house and their flower garden.

And one of Mr. Carol's son was Happy first crush, His name was Theo. Yes, The oldest one. There's a notable age gap between them, with Theo being 4 years older than Happy

Their paths had never crossed in conversation, living in worlds that seemed miles apart. Happy had occasionally spotted Theo in the distance, walking with his siblings or his friends.

It was 9 PM, and as usual, Happy tried to climb the fence of the Carol family's house to sit on a swing and enjoy the beauty of their flower garden. But she noticed something unusual that night. Unlike previous days when only the lights at the front and garden were on, tonight she saw a light coming from inside the house - a room near the window facing the flower garden.

Happy hesitated, fearing that if someone inside saw her, she would be chased away or accused of being a thief. Just as she turned to leave, she heard a man shouting, crying, and loud thuds coming from the room. Happy's mind froze as she tried to understand what was happening inside and what she should do.

Happy mustered the courage to approach the window of the room. The man inside was heard crying out in deep anguish, his screams echoing through the night. Happy swallowed hard and whispered,

"Knock... Knock"

"Hello there? "

"Are you alright?"

Suddenly the room fell silent, and the person inside stopped making noise. Happy waited anxiously for a response, but instead the answer, the lights were just turned off from inside and the man inside didn't said anything.

Taking the hint, Happy decided it was time to go. She gave up on her plan to enjoy the garden and turned back, choosing to return home instead,, and she wondered to herself on the way back,

"Who was that person in the room?"
