"This is all your fault!" 

Cheon Seo-jin's voice rang in everyone's ears. They were all in the lobby of Hera Palace in front of the bloody statue where Min Seol-a's body laid. Seojin's glare was directed at Ko Ye-rim, whose eyes remainded on the statue. "If you hadn't had hired, she wouldn't be here!" she screeched. Min-hyuk's and Eun-byul's parents agreed while Joo Dan-tae and Ha Yoon-chul looked annoyed.

"Arguing like idiots won't make the problem go away." They all rolled their eyes and looked down out of frustration, but Ko Ye-rim continued, "We need to get rid of the body and clean this place up, unless you all want to be suspects?" she asked sarcastically.
