"Sera, are you sure you don't want to go shopping with me?" Mrs. Jung asked her daughter. 

They had just returned from the police station and Mrs. Jung wanted to put all the drama behind her. Hyojin muttered something about wanting to go for a walk and without another word, headed off despite his mother's protests, taking Tommy with him. Mrs. Jung could only sigh and turn to her daughter.

"It will be good for you," she went on. "After all, you were also tense about your brother and I think you need to go out more!"

"No mom," Sera mumbled. "I wanna stay back. I'm not in the mood. Besides, I didn't sleep last night out of tension. I'll stay home. I've already called up Soobin and she agreed to skip school to accompany me."

"Why do you keep on hanging around that poor girl?" Mrs. Jung scolded her daughter. "I know such girls very well! She's after our money and nothing else. You'll see. She's gonna snare some rich guy and marry him. Who knows, she might be after my Hyojin…"

"Mom, Soobin doesn't even know my brother well," Sera said. "Besides, she was the only one who stood up for me when the whole school was-"

She stopped herself from talking about the incident from a few days ago.

"Anyways, you should go and shop," Sera insisted. "I'll be fine. Really."

Mrs. Jung pursed her lips but did not say anything. "Your lunch is in the fridge," she stated. "Heat it up. The maid is not coming today so you'll be home alone. If you need anything, call me, okay?"

She kissed her daughter's cheek and bid her goodbye. Sera watched as her mother got into the car and drove away. As soon as Mrs. Jung was out of sight, Sera sighed in relief and closed the front door behind her. 

Sera was completely alone in the house. It was a weekday and everyone was off to work while the maid took a day off. Sera did not mind; she had been left alone in the house many times. As an introvert, she was fine living alone.

Slowly dragging her feet up the stairs to her room, she lay on her bed. Her mind was replaying what Hyojin had narrated about the way they found Rachel's body and she could not forget the gruesome details.

Sera might have despised Rachel and was glad that she died but after hearing the story of her death, she felt nauseous. She could not even imagine that the most beautiful girl in school had her beauty and life snatched away in such a horrific manner.

But most of all, she could not get rid of the look Rachel had given her just before she was being dragged to her death…

Fear crept in Sera's heart and she was nervous about what was going to happen if anyone found out about what she did. Her hands were shaking and she was trying her best to fight off the guilt which was eating her alive. The image of Rachel's last moments was torturing her and no matter how much she justified her own actions, Sera knew that she could not let go of that burning memory.

"She deserved it," Sera chanted. "She was a horrible person and she deserved it. That's right! She deserved to die!"

Getting off the bed, Sera went into her bathroom to wash her face. She wanted to get rid of that memory which was torturing her. It would not let her live in peace. Even in death, Rachel's memories were haunting her like a sadistic demon which was latched onto Sera.

As she splashed water one her face, she looked in the mirror. Her plain face was staring back at her. There were dark circles underneath her eyes and her skin had become sullen. She had not been able to sleep for weeks, keeping the dark secret in her heart. Sera turned away from her reflection and left the bathroom. 

However, the reflection was still watching her. Its gaze followed her silently, targeting the unsuspecting girl. Unlike Sera's dull eyes, there was a fierce rage in its gaze and the burning hatred would not die.

Sera lay back on her bed and tried to get some sleep until Soobin arrived. She pulled the blanket over her body and closed her eyes. Her eyes were droopy. Sera was so tired that she was almost falling immediately into a deep sleep. 

But in her semi-conscious state, she felt as if the blanket was being slowly dragged off her. A little annoyed, Sera pulled it back up. She was falling asleep again when suddenly, the blanket was yanked off.

"What the-" she yelled as she sat up but in an instant, her vision was covered by the blanket. It felt towards her and someone was wrapping it around her. 

"Who's there?" Sera shrieked. "Who's there?"

She felt a pair of hands grab her and pushed her backwards on the floor. Sera was about to sit up but something kicked her and she fell back again. Panicking, Sera cried for help, struggling to be freed but the blanket was pressing against her as if someone was controlling it. 

"LET ME GO!" Sera begged, blindly fighting to free herself. A pair of hands pushed her back and grabbed her throat. Sera wheezed when she felt the grip tighten around her neck, cruelly choking her.

"P-Please…" Sera whimpered. "P-please don't…"

To her horror, a familiar voice spoke to her, sending several chills down her spine as she was being strangled.

"Did you listen to my pleas?" Rachel's menacing words echoed in Sera's ears. "When I was begging you? When I was at your mercy? Did you save me?"

The hold around Sera's neck was now tighter and she was coughing. Her vision was beginning to get darker and she was losing her breath.

"R-Rachel?" she whispered.

"DIE!" Rachel screamed at her. "DIE!"

Suddenly, there was a scramble of feet and someone burst into the room.

Soobin, Jina and Hobin had stumbled into the room to find Sera being attacked. 

"Sera!" Soobin yelled and along with Hobin, rushed to free Sera from the blanket while Jina saw the poltergeist clearly. Rachel's burnt face turned towards the detective. 

Within an instant, Jina threw salt at Rachel, causing her to scream in agony. She kept on throwing salt at the poltergeist until it was forced to flee by jumping out of the window. 

Soobin watched helplessly as Hobin performed CPR on Sera who was unconscious. Finally, she coughed and began to breathe but was still in a critical state.

"We'll have to take her to the hospital!" Hobin shouted. "Now!"
