SeongWu sits in a bathtub filled with warm water. He staring aimlessly at those white soap bubbles floating on the surface. His head still aching. He still cannot forget that feeling.

That dark entity didn't mean to harm him nor makes him go away. It's just like he want to tell SeongWu something. However, his presence was weaker than SeongWu expected. When they connected directly, the spirit that SeongWu felt is too weak to possess anyone.

SeongWu is not only confused by the case but also annoyed by Daniel's attitude.

That big guy always follow SeongWu everywhere, even when he taking a bath. But he seem kinda distance recently and his mind seem to be distracted by something. As for today, Daniel has been in the living room, chewing his jellies and leaving SeongWu alone since they got home.

"What is he thinking?!?" – SeongWu somehow feel really uncomfortable.

He washes away all f soaps and bubbles on his body and put on his pyjama.

Daniel standing next to the window in the living room, looking out of the window while enjoying his jellies. He doesn't even aware of SeongWu is staring at him for a while.

SeongWu is kind pissed off – I should go to sleep!

.

.

"What?" – SeongWu looks at Daniel with the eyes fulled with surprise.

"What? I just said it."

"You said... I'll go alone?"

"Yeah."

"Didn't you always insist on going with me everywhere?"

"I'm kinda tired today."

Daniel lying on the sofa with such an obvious lie coming out from his mouth. SeongWu clearly knows that, but he doesn't want to question him anymore.

"Then just stay at home as you wish. I going now!"

"Yeah."

What with that attitude?!? – SeongWu annoying shuts the door.

.

SeongWu goes to the cafe to meet Yoo Hwan on his own but right at the moment he step into the cafe, Yoo Hwan rushing out and almost bump into him.

"Yoo Hwan? What's the matter?"

"SeongWu, you're here. There's maybe something happening at my house."

"What?"

Yoo Hwan didn't come here by his car. SeongWu takes his car and drives Yoo Hwan home and listen to his story on the drive. It's turn out that Yoo Hwan couldn't wait so he left home early and came to the cafe alone. While he was waiting, Ji Hye called but when he picked up the call, there was no answer. There was only the creepy long silent on the other side. Yoo Hwan called her back many times but she didn't picked up once. SeongWu can easily guess there's must be something happening with Ji Hye.

.

Yoo Hwan opens the door and see Ji Hye is lying on the floor. He want to get close but SeongWu stops him.

Ji Hye is still concious. When the door was opened, she still can took a glance and was very happy to see those two rushed in. Her eyes is begging for help. Her lips is moving but not a sound coming from her mouth.

SeongWu gets her signal but he can't act carelessly. There's a dark smoke surrounding Ji Hye. That smoke gathering to form a human shape which is sitting on Ji Hye's chest. That entity's covering her mouth by one hand and the other hand is slowly strangling her neck. It's clearly that the entity don't want to kill her but makes her suffering.

SeongWu gives Yoo Hwan a small amulet.

"Hold this! Stay here and do not let go of this amulet."

Yoo Hwan nods. He is sweating all over.

SeongWu carefully approaches Ji Hye. She still trying to move. He takes a light yellow amulet from his pocket. SeongWu bites his finger and imprints his fingerprint on the amulet with his blood.

"Keep this in your mouth for a while. You don't have to swallow it. When you feels the bitterness in your mouth, you can spit it out."

Ji Hye relax a little bit and follows SeongWu's word. She's still a bit uncomfortable to keep a piece of paper in her mouth but she still doing it. SeongWu mumbling some kind of spell. Ji Hye can't hear what he is saying clearly but the high tone and sweetness in his voice make her feel relief. It's just like listening to a beautiful relaxing song. The heavy feeling on her body is gradually vanishing. Then suddenly, the bitterness rises up in her mouth. Ji Hye sits up and spits the amulet out.

"A!"

Ji Hye tries to move her hands and her body. She tries to stand up. Her body is completely back to normal. SeongWu's finger also stop bleeding.

"It's alright now."

Yoo Hwan comes to Ji Hye right at the moment SeongWu said it. She hugs him tightly.

"I was so scared! There was something pushed me down. I tried to call you but I couldn't speak, then I couldn't even move. I thought I could die."

"Ok! Ok! Calm down. SeongWu said it's alright!"

"Just for now!" – SeongWu said.

He walks toward the bedroom. He already get rid of the entity from Ji Hye, but he saw it flied to the bedroom.

Those two amulets in the bedroom was turned black. When SeongWu comes in, they are falling down from the wall and turning into dust.

Yoo Hwan want to follow but SeongWu stop him again.

"You should take care of her."

He close the door and lock it.

"I know you are here. Show yourself!" – SeongWu speaks with a low voice.

Unlike the other stubborn souls, this one show up quicker than SeongWu thought. He appears in front of SeongWu. A young man calmly standing in front of SeongWu. However, he looks kind dimmer and blurrer than usual spirits.

"What do you want? Why did you attach yourself on Ji Hye-ssi?"

The young man doesn't answering by words. He points at the bed.

SeongWu knows it's must be rude but he has no choice but to turning everything on the bed upside-down. He doesn't even what he is looking for. There's must be something keep that young man's spirit here. SeongWu looks through everything but can't find anything, even under the bed is empty.

When he starting to feel frustrated, there's weird sound comes up from under the bed. To be more exact, it's from under the mattress. He lifts up the mattress and finds a concavity on the wooden batten. It's like a hidden compartment.

SeongWu opens it and it is quite small. It's only fit for one photo album. There's full of photos of Yoo Hwan and that young man.
