Jina was on the phone with Yoonmin while Hobin drove the car. Junho and Minyoon were in the back, reading from one of Junho's books on exorcism.

"Are you kidding me?" Jina scowled. "Yohan is missing?"

"We've looked for him everywhere in the hospital," Yoonmin's voice came through the speaker phone. "But we couldn't find him anywhere.

"He's probably at the Song mansion," Hobin said. "We're going there now to talk to Seohyun. The poltergeist is looking for the third page of her burn book and until we destroy it, she'll keep on harming the people she hates."

"I'm heading for the Song mansions well," Yoonmin replied. "It's close to the hospital. I'll get there faster."

"Where's Miyoo?" Jina asked. 

"I'm leaving her with Soobin," he said. "And Doctor Kang is here to take care of her as well. I don't wanna take her anywhere near that crazy ghost."

"It's a poltergeist!" Junho scowled.

"Whatever!" Yoonmin exclaimed in annoyance.

"We'll meet you there," Jina said. Yoonmin hung up.

"Why will Yohan escape from the hospital?" Jina wondered out loud. "Makes no sense."

"Maybe…" Hobin began. "Maybe he knows something about Rachel's death? Or is trying to hide his own deeds?"

"But we already caught Rachel's killer!" Jina pointed out. "What else could he possibly know?"

"Today is Rachel's funeral, right?" Junho frowned. "Maybe he wants to say goodbye to his daughter one last time?"

"Oh please!" Minyoon scoffed. "Song Yohan is a stone cold bastard. Everyone knew he wasn't affectionate towards Rachel. In fact, he never even visited the school for any parent-teacher meeting."

"Even when Rachel died, he didn't show any remorse," Jina said in a solemn tone. "He was so cold and aloof. The man was complaining about a meeting on the day her body was found."

"Probably," Hobin said.

Jina turned to him. "What do you mean?" she asked. "You saw him. You saw how cold he was!"

"He was cold," Hobin stated. "But I doubt he was unaffected. No matter how aloof and indifferent he was, Rachel was still his daughter. There must have been some remorse in him."

"Not every parent feels love for their child," Jina mumbled. Her mind was going back to the way Kang Danny had abused and killed Shinho. People who were obsessed with themselves would never feel any affection even for their offspring.

Junho, however, was on the same page as Hobin.

"He's not completely wrong," Junho said. "Sometimes, it's hard to tell what goes on in a father's mind. Even if Song Yohan wasn't a good father, he still made sure that the world knew who his daughter was. And to wake up on the day of her funeral, that needs a lot of willpower. He probably knows something."

"I doubt it," Minyoon added. "If he was even the least bit considerate towards her, she'd have been alive."

"I agree with Minyoon," Jina said. "I don't think he loved her at all."

"Let's see," Hobin declared. "For now, let's see if he's at the Song mansion."

Junho returned to the book, reading it carefully. Thankfully, he had brought a bag of supplies which he might need in case he had to perform an exorcism but without the missing page, he was not sure whether his ritual would be complete or not.

"Let's just hope nothing goes wrong," he muttered.

….

The cab dropped Yoonmin outside of the Song mansion. He got out of the car and was surprised to see the mansion was completely silent. His long hair was tied into a bun and he borrowed a black suit from Siwan before heading off. 

Isn't a funeral going on here? He wondered. He walked upto the gate only to be stopped by a guard.

"The mistress has forbidden us from letting any guests in," the guard said in an apologetic tone. "Sorry."

"What about the funeral?" Yoonmin asked. "Aren't we supposed to pay our last respects?"

"Miss Rachel has been buried already and the guests have been instructed to leave," the guard stated. "Sorry."

Yoonmin sighed and thought hard. He took out his phone and texted his sister about the situation. She replied promptly.

"There's a secret passage at the back around the basement," she texted. "See if it's still unguarded. Get in through it and check up on Seohyun. If she says anything, I'll take responsibility. But find her!"

The matter must be a life and death situation because his sister was telling him to illegally trespass. It was obvious that the poltergeist was going to target Seohyun and her life was in danger so Jina had to resort to this step.

Yoonmin put his phone away and circled the mansion. He looked at the cameras only to find that there were none around. He quickly climbed over the wall and jumped on the other side, landing easily on his feet.

"Basement…" he muttered. There was a wooden door a few meters away. He quietly crept towards it and tried to open the door. It was completely locked. He pressed his ear against the door but could hear nothing.

"Guess I'll have to jump in through a window," he decided. There were no windows around the basement but the living room was not far off. He walked around the mansion, looking for a window to enter through. Finally, he found one but that too was locked.

"Let's see…" Yoonmin examined the window carefully. He untied his long hair and managed to extract a bobby pin. Yoonmin always kept these pins with him so that he could easily open locks to sneak out of school and go to important work meetings.

Inserting it in the lock, he fiddled with it until he heard a click. Opening the window, he climbed into the mansion.

He expected someone to stop him but there was no one around, not even a maid. 

"This is weird," he muttered. The whole house was drowning in pin drop silence. Yoonmin could hear his heart racing as he wandered through the empty hallways, looking for at least one person. He did not dare to call out anyone because he would be caught.

But something was not right. He went into the kitchen and there was no one there either. His footsteps echoed through the long corridor as he headed to the east side of the house.

"Where is everybody?" he wondered out loud. 

SWOOSH!

He turned around upon hearing something pass by. But there was no one around.

A cold air was creeping in from somewhere and Yoonmin was getting more alert. The breeze was swirling around him as if examining him carefully. He could not help but think that he was being watched. Someone was around but he could not see anyone in sight.

"Rachel?" he said out loud. "Are you here?"

There was no response. Yoonmin did not expect any reply but why did it feel like he was being watched? And from where?

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Yoonmin jumped when he heard someone knocking on one of the doors to his right. He quickly opened it to find himself in the master bedroom. There was a large portrait of Yohan on one side of the wall and the room looked as if it had not been used for a few days. 

He entered further into the room, looking around. The sounds of his footsteps were breaking through the eerie silence. Yoonmin examined the portrait on the wall. It was undoubtedly made by a famous artist because the brushwork was intricate and made with care. He was about to leave when he suddenly noticed something. 

Turning around towards the portrait, Yoonmin noticed that one corner of the frame looked a little loose…

Yoonmin tapped on it only to realise that it was a movable block. He took it off to reveal a piece of paper hidden behind it.

"What's this?" he wondered out loud, unfolding the paper to read its contents. Going through what looked like a page from a diary, Yoonmin was astonished.

Putting the paper into his pocket, he took out his phone to dial Jina's number.

"Pick up sis!" he prayed. "Pick up!"

…..

Jina and the rest were stuck in traffic when she received Yoonmin's call. She put him on speaker again.

"Yeah, did you reach the mansion?" she asked him over the phone.

"Sis, I...fou…" Yoonmin's voice was breaking off.

"What?" she frowned. "I can't hear you!"

"What's going on?" Junho asaked.

"Yoonmin?" Minyoon called for his brother. "Where are you?"

"Sis, I-AHHHHHHHHH!"

The last thing they heard was Yoonmin's screams echoing through the phone before everything went silent.
