Sehun and Wendy stand facing each other across the trees outside the old house, the rest of the group looking on in awe.

"You can do it, Sehun!" Joy pats his shoulder.

"Well, Wendy, shall I? Promise me you will confess after me." says Sehun.

Wendy shakes her head, her eyes downcast.

"Share your secrets, Sehun. I'll.. I'll try to do the same."

"Thank you."

Sehun takes a deep breath, fighting back the tears forming in his eyes.

"My parents died in my childhood. I grew up with my uncle and aunt."

"As in, this aunt and her husband?" Irene asks.

"Yes. My aunt loved me alot. She's the one that brought me up. My uncle was a roothless criminal. He did so many crimes, crimes that caused Yusi and aunt to suicide.."

Joy frowns, "Hold on a second, is he that animal who-"

"..raped Yusi. I found this out later."

"That monster-" Irene's eyes fill with hatred as she says.

"Thanks to Baekhyun, that monster eventually got his punishment.. death. But-"

"But?" Seulgi asks.

"But he chased us ever since. One day, his attacks got so much more.. inhuman. He tortured us, specially my aunt.. in the most ridiculous way possible."

"What he did to your aunt?" Seulgi asks.

"I.. I don't like to think about it. I can't put that in words.. and I know you guys won't be able to tolerate."

"I'm so sorry, Sehun." Yeri says.

"No yeri.. it's not even the worst part. My aunt was so scared of me going through the same thing that-

"That?" Seulgi interrogates.

"That she took me into a furnace and.. and burnt both of us alive."

Irene widens her eyes "So.. You're.."

"Dead. I died. She said the world outside was too scary. She said she wanted to protect me."

Seulgi gently squeezes Sehun's arms, "Sehun, how you still exist?"

"I don't exist.. I don't."

"What are you Sehun.."

"I don't know. There's so much I still don't understand about myself, about my existence."

"Don't you ever try to figure them out?"

"I do. But at times I feel too scared. I feel like I don't want to face the truth. I felt fire get inside my lungs, I felt "

Everyone goes silent for a moment. As if the nature has stopped behaving too. Time and human beings pauses. Wind fills with an unknown gust. Everything is ice-frozen.

Irene tries to break the ice of silence,

"Whatever he is, he is amazing."

"Indeed." Yeri joins in.

"I'm not a ghost, okay?" Sehun assures.

"We don’t care who you are. You're our Sehun and that's what matters." Irene says.

"Sehun.." Joy mumbles.

"Are you scared of me? Please dont. I dont mean you any harm.

"I'm not.. I love you even more Sehun." Joy hugs him tightly.

"We all do." Seulgi says.

"You finally spoke about it. I'm proud of you, Sehun" Irene shrugs.

"I never knew we were so connected-" Finally, Wendy said something.

"Wendy," Kris turns, "It's your turn."
