Time (Around 8:30)

Still on their way to the place, Chae Joon and Tae Jin now walked behind Tae Jin and Se Jong, some distance between them.

"We should have asked for Sung Hoon's car" Se Jong said, looking annoyed.

If he knew the place would be this far, he would have brought up this idea earlier.

"Is a very good idea which came late" Hae Jin said.

"Well, I don't know how to drive neither do I have a driving license. Se Jong can't drive either" Tae Jin said.

"I can" Chae Joon said.

"And I don't remember if I know how to drive" Hae Jin added.

Everyone was saying something so he had to something right?

"Well, Chae Joon can" Se Jong said and Tae Jin replied,

"Even so, he can't. Imagine what will happen. Red on, you stop beside a car. Look into it and you see two people at the backseat. No one on the front seat. Green on, and the car drives away"

"Who said I'll sit with you at the back" Se Jong said, rolling his eyes.

"Well, automatic car. There's a lot around nowdays" Chae Joon said.

"Right, then we must be really rich to have one" Tae Jin said and Chae Joon asked,

"Aren't you rich?"

"My mom is" Tae Jin replied and Se Jong also gave his answer,

"Average in wealth"

"Right. Walking is the right decision" Chae Joon said.

"We could have rent a taxis you know?" Se Jong said.

"And I still wonder why we're walking" Chae Joon said.

"You should have brought up that idea earlier. We've reach this far" Tae Jin said.

"And I guess there's more to go" Se Jong stated.

Author: You people should have told me before you........

Hae Jin, Tae Jin, Chae Joon and Se Jong: Go away.

Doesn't hurt anymore cause am used to it.

"Tae Jin" Chae Joon called out to him, gaining his attention.

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry for the way I acted before. You know, when Hae Jin came back"

Oh, that......

"No, you were right. I didn't.......I didn't think about hyung. I was only thinking about myself. I was selfish"

Well, as long as he knew, Chae Joon thought before saying,

"Please take care of Hae Jin. You mean a lot to him"

"Yeah, he means a lot to me too" Tae Jin replied with a smile.

"Great" Chae Joon said, smiling back.

"What are you two talking about?" Se Jong asked.

"Boy talk" Tae Jin answered.

"I'm a man" Chae Joon said.

What was wrong with what he said. Tae Jin thought.

Rolling his eyes, Se Jong said, "I don't know am a female"

"Guys, I think we're here" Hae Jin suddenly announced.

They were there?

"Wow" Tae Jin said, surprised and in disbelief.

But then, what he was seeing was real.

"And I still wonder how you led us here" Se Jong said. Smiling, Hae Jin replied,

"Instinct"

"Don't me give me that"

"Are you sure this is the right place Hyung?" Tae Jin asked.

It.....it was the wrong place right?

"It is" Hae Jin confirmed.

Great! There goes his hopes crashing down.

"My instinct is screaming that it is"

"Not that again" Se Jong said, rolling his eyes.

"Hyung, it looks dangerous"

It really did look dangerous.

The building was literally screaming dangerous! Dark! Evil!

The building was larged, looked old and abandoned.

In fact, it looked like an apartment building.

Around and coming out of the shattered, broken windows was thick air, that of the colour red-black.

True, air can't be seen but they were seeing it. Live.

Red-black, the air's colour was red-black, meaning, there was a grade 3 evil there.

And if they were at the right place, there was two grade 3 evil ghosts there.

Kim Soo and Kim Boom were there.

"We're here. Now, all we have to do, is separate Kim Soo from Kim Boom's soul" Hae Jin said, like it was going to be that simple.

"And I wonder, how are we going to do that?" Se Jong asked.

Very good question,

How were they going to do that? Hae Jin asked himself.

               ***********👻👻*******

Now inside the building, the four were climbing the stairs to the first floor.

It was really hard to breathe and they guess it was because the air was corrupt.

But Hae Jin,.......he didn't recall it being this hard to breathe inside the building. Maybe Kim Boom got even more stronger.

Did he do the right thing? Delaying this mission?

Dirty, cracked, cobwebs everywhere this was it.

This was exactly the building looked like and Hae Jin remembered, it was the same.

Dark, but then, it wasn't that dark.

At least they could something. They could see where they were going, where they were stepping and each other.

"This building, why this building?" Tae Jin asked. Did it have something to do with Kim Boom's past?

If not, why would he choose this building of all the others in Seoul.

"This is the apartment the boss used to live in" Hae Jin answered.

Well, that said a lot but why did Kim Boom choose this building? What was he thinking?

"Well, now it doesn't look fancy" Se Jong said and he (Tae Jin) replied.

"Not at all"

"After Kim Boom killed the two, he scared of the tenants before taking over the building. He chose this building because Kim Soo's body was buried here"

Well,......his (Tae Jin) question has been answered.

But then......where the heck did the boss bury the body?

It can't be inside the apartment......it just wasn't possible!

"That disgusting man buried Kim Soo's body at the backyard of the apartment. When everyone was asleep"

Seriously?! But how's that even possible?! No one heard or saw? Were they all deep sleepers or something?

"The apartment wasn't exactly that easy to rent. It was.......expensive. There was just six tenants in this huge apartment. The boss invited them all to his place, saying he has just won a big deal and wanted to celebrate with them. He drug them all and then proceed with his evil plan to bury Kim Soo" Hae Jin said.

Okay, that kind of explained everything. But still!

Seriously?!

How come no one noticed?!

And.....where were the dogs when needed?!

It can't be...... pets were not allowed in the apartment?

Was that it?! Cause if they were,.....the boss wouldn't have take such a big risk and bury Kim Soo's body there.

Wow!..........he (The boss) really had it all figured out, huh?

Tae Jin thought.

"Ghosts use energy as their powers.  Every ghost have powers because their souls are made of energy. But to get more energy, you have to become a hunter of evil ghosts, a job that gives you abundant energy to use as powers. Or, you can choose to become an evil ghost and use wicked ways to get more energy. Kim Boom chose this path. I hope he's ready to pay for it" Chae Joon suddenly said, gaining their attentions.

Hope he's also already to pay the price for touching Hae Jin. 

He (Chae Joon) thought and they stared at him.

He looked really angry, determined and it was kind of scary.

"Then, I leave Kim Boom to you. I don't want to go anywhere near him. He scares me a lot" Hae Jin said and he (Chae Joon) replied,

"Leave him to me"

"Guys, how are we going to find Kim Boom and Soo if we're not searching the rooms?" Se Jong asked and they came to a stop, right in front of the fourth room, the last room, on the first floor.

They passed the other rooms. Hae Jin and Tae Jin noticed but they didn't say a word because they didn't want to face Kim Boom.

"It can't be he's waiting for us on the hallway right?" Se Jong said.

Right, he wasn't in this hallway and it can't be he was waiting for them in the other hallways of the building right?

That just can't be possible unless he knew they were there.

Tae Jin thought.

"We're check the second floor. I mean, it can't be that he's on the first floor right? That's will be too easy to find him" Hae Jin said.

Come to think of it,.......feels like he's (Hae Jin) forgetting something.

And Chae Joon, Se Jong and Tae Jin were not asking the right questions.

"You just don't want to meet him" Se Jong said and he (Hae Jin) replied

"I never said that"

"Okay, fine" Se Jong replied.

And so, the four idiots made their way to the second floor.

Where......Where was Hae Jin kept when he was captured? Did he know the exact room Kim Boom lived in?

What about Kim Soo? Which of the rooms was hers? Did she and Kim Boom live in the same room?

This was the asking they should be asking Hae Jin but none of them thought about it.

And Hae Jin.........he didn't think about that either.

In fact,.........he was only thinking of not meeting Kim Boom and Kim Soo. He wish Kim Soo wasn't in the building at the moment.

And he had a good reason.

A very selfish reason.

"Tae Jin, you brought your phone right? Turn on the flashlight" Se Jong said.

He and Chae Joon were behind while Tae Jin and Hae Jin took the lead.

"Why don't you do it? You brought your own right?" Tae Jin asked.

"I don't have money to buy a new one in case it ends up dead" Se Jong said and Tae Jin replied,

"Same here"

That's it? Both Hae Jin and Chae Joon thought. Hae Jin staring at Tae Jin while Chae Joon stared at Se Jong.

"You're rich" Se Jong said.

"I said it before, my mom is. I have no money, and I don't want to ask her for it. I'm an adult now" Tae Jin replied.

"You're only 18" Hae Jin said and he (Tae Jin) replied,

"I'm an adult"

"Fine, then we'll walk in this darkness. Come to think of it, is not even that dark. The red colour of the air is light enough" Se Jong said and Tae Jin agreed,

"You're right"

"Take out your phones!" Both Chae Joon and Hae Jin yelled out.

"Uh........., No. That's out of the solutions" Both Tae Jin and Se Jong said and they (Chae Joon and Hae Jin) rolled their eyes.

Reaching the second floor, they came to a stop, in front of the first room.

"I think we should split up and search" Hae Jin announced and Tae Jin volunteered,

"I'll go to the third floor with you hyung"

"You guys search here" he (Tae Jin) said to Chae Joon and Se Jong.

"You guys just want to escape Kim Boom. What if he's on the third floor?" Se Jong asked.

"If you hear 'Help me!!!' come immediately. Chae Joon, you're the strongest here. Take the lead and come immediately" Hae Jin said and Chae Joon smiled.

"Don't waste any time Chae Joon" Tae Jin added.

"Are you kidding me? You guys are pathetic" Se Jong said, rolling his eyes.

"Fine" Chae Joon agreed with a smile.

And so, Hae Jin and Tae Jin made their way to the third floor, while Se Jong and Chae Joon began the search on the second floor.

Se Jong took the first room and Chae Joon took the second room.

By the way, all the rooms on the floors are four.

And there are four floors.

"Hyung, do you know how to summon your holy weapon? I hear that's the only thing that can kill an evil ghost" Tae Jin said this, instead of asking the important question.

"Yes, Chae Joon told me how. I have to say some words and then, it'll appear"

"You need energy to summon your holy weapon right? Can you do it? You don't have much energy, right?"

"Since I came back, I've not used my powers. I can do it"

"Okay"

"But you know something Tae Jin,............."

"What?"

"I don't want to kill Kim Soo" And this is the real reason why he didn't want to see Kim Boom and Kim Soo.

Why he delayed the mission to save them.

He did not want to kill Kim Soo.

She wanted him to kill her. Kim Soo said so herself.

And......he did not want to kill her.

"Can't she be saved? She didn't do anything wrong"

"Hyung, I understand you. But........you know, once your soul is corrupt, you'll never get your light back. The only way you can save Kim Soo is by killing her. That'll set her free from the evil in her heart. She's have her light again. And definitely, she'll go to a good place. That's the only way" Tae Jin did not want to say this because his hyung will feel even more sad, but he had to.

"You're right, but am finding it hard to do just that" Hae Jin said and Tae Jin could see he was telling the truth.

It stated all over his face.

"It'll be alright" he assured him, not even believing that.

"Hmmm" Hae IJin replied.

                    ***********👻👻*********

Now, it was left with the last room. The fourth room on the first floor.

There was no sign of Kim Boom in the other rooms. In fact, the rooms were all empty, dusty, and all the doors were cracked, old.

Including the last one Chae Joon stood in front of.

"They're not in the third room" Se Jong said as he stood behind Chae Joon.

"I guess, the fourth room is all that's left"

"Yes"

"I'll go in first, stay behind me"

"You don't have to tell me that" Se Jong said and Chae Joon smiled.

"Good" he (Chae Joon) said before opening the door.

The sound of the old filthy door opening was so damn loud and annoying.

Se Jong was literally annoyed and it stated on his face.

But Chae Joon,.........he wasn't bothered.

In fact, he looked like he was ready to face whatever was in there.

He was determined to end everything tonight.

Chae Joon entered the room and Se Jong followed behind him.

They didn't get to scan the room cause the moment they entered, something else got their attention.

Looking on the right side of the room, Se Jong was shocked, frozen in place.

What he was seeing?!

Se Jong thought, eyes widened in shock.

He was scared.

What? What was he seeing?

And now he wonder,.........was it a good idea to join the mission?

He......he was so scared!
