Shinho was hesitant as he stood outside the mansion where he was killed. Jina was back at the hospital and there were some strange things going on there. Her grandfather, Junho, who was an expert in exorcism and occult, had made several charms to protect her so Shinho could not go near her room for a while. Hospitals were hotbed for evil spirits and since Kang Danny killed many people there, an angry poltergeist was roaming around the place so they had to protect Jina from it. Since she could see spirits and poltergeists, it was done for her own safety.

Moreover, the poltergeist had targeted Danny. Just last night, Danny was screaming in his office, claiming that he saw a monster in his bathroom which was empty. Gayoon checked it herself but there was no one. She informed Junho, who decided that it was best to keep an eye on Danny and also put protection around Jina.

But Shinho was not lying low at tha Hwang Mansion. Ever since he heard that his brother was involved in Jina's poisoning, he could not help visit his old home. He wanted to see if his brother was safe.

Shinho entered the empty mansion. The servants were probably on their monthly holiday so he quietly went upstairs towards his brother's room.

Siwan was sitting in the dark, sobbing to himself. He was holding the camera in which Shinho's death had been recorded and was feeling extremely guilty for hiding this fact. For weeks, Siwan grappled with how to tell this to people but the fear of his father had kept him from doing so. But after what he did to Jina, Siwan was scared of himself.

"I'm sorry…" he sobbed out loud. "I'm so sorry…"

He was sad that he could not do anything for the boy who died in his home. His father had destroyed so many lives that Siwan had lost track of it all.

"I'm sorry," he kept on repeating. Shinho sat next to him, not daring to touch his brother. But he was also sad that he could not express his feelings to his elder brother who was feeling so much remorse.

Shinho was about to pat his brother when they heard a loud crash downstairs. Siwan was startled and headed outside his room.

"Dad?" he frowned when he saw his father sprawled across the floor in fear. But Danny did not seem to listen to him.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" Danny screamed but there was no one else around. Danny was scared and petrified as he flayed his limbs around as if trying to ward something away.

But Danny was seeing something which only he could see. He had returned home to find something monstrous waiting for him.

It was emerging from the floor, headless and dark. Crawling towards him at remarkable speed, it let out a loud wail which caused Danny to shut his ears.

"GO AWAY!" he yelled and tried to run but the thing grabbed his foot and pulled him back.

The hands of the monster kept on pulling him, flinging him across the room. Siwan watched in horror as his father was being thrown by some kind of invisible force. Shinho was also surprised to see Danny act that way and rushed downstairs after his brother.

"Dad!" Siwan shouted as he tried to help Danny but the latter was hallucinating. He looked up to see that instead of Siwan, it was Shinho's face staring back at him.

"You killed me...dad…" it said in a whisper. "And now, it's your turn…"

"NO!" Danny yelled and grabbed Siwan by the throat. Shinho was shocked as he saw his older brother being strangled. Danny hit Siwan on the face a few times, causing the child to bleed.

"Dad, it's me!" Siwan screamed but Danny punched him on the nose, breaking it. Siwan was now being choked and he struggled to be free but Danny was too strong for him.

"Dad…" Siwan begged. Stop. Please stop!

"I'll kill you!" Danny screamed in fear. "You can't torment me anymore! I'll kill you!"

Shinho was frozen to his spot. The memories of his own death rushed back to him and now, his brother was going to face the same fate. Something in him snapped.

With all the force he could muster, he pushed Danny away from Siwan. The latter coughed out blood, too weak to stand up but Danny got to his feet. Still seeing Shinho in Siwan, he once again pounced on Siwan, trying to kill him.

"DON'T EVER COME BACK-" Danny yelled. He picked up a vase and was about to hit Siwan with it. Siwan watched his father about to kill him fro good, slightly happy that he would be free from this monster...

BANG!

Danny yelped and the vase fell from his hand. A bullet brushed by his wrist, making it bleed. He looked up to see Gayoon and Doyoung standing at the door.

"SIWAN!" Doyoung yelled and rushed to protect Siwan while Gayoon tackled Danny to the ground in a swift movement. Several policemen appeared and they arrested Danny on the spot.

"Take the kid to the hospital!" Gayoon ordered. "Now!"

Paramedics arrived and took Siwan to the hospital while Shinho and Doyoung followed. Shinho watched in dismay as Doyoung cried over Siwan's unconscious body. Everything was happening so fast that it was impossible to fathom anything.

All he cared about was his brother.

"Mom…"

Doyoung, who was hysterical, grabbed Siwan's palm.

"Don't talk!" she told her son. "Just...just be calm and-"

"Mom...I'm sorry…" Siwan said. "To you...and my brother...I'm sorry…"

Doyoung did not say anything but patted her son's head. "I'm sorry too," she whispered. "To you and Shinho. I'm sorry."

"Shinho...huh?" Siwan softly whispered. "It's a nice name. Do you think he's in a better place now?"

"I don't know, sweetie," Doyoung said. "I don't know if he's in a better place. But...he's loved. I'm sure about that."

Siwan was losing consciousness again. As his vision faded, he thought he saw the silhouette of a boy who was also crying. Why is that boy crying? He wondered before completely fainting once again.
