The 3 friends reached Sunghoon's house to discuss the next step. There they found that Sunghoon had been up all night researching and gathering all the evidence he could find.
"Maybe this will help," Yuna said and gave him the key Yeesul found
the bell ringed. "I'll get it, must be the pizza delivery guy," Sunghoon said and went to get the door. After a few seconds, everyone heard a scream
"Sunghoon" Yuna shouted and ran to investigate what happened and screamed in terror when she found Sunghoon was lying...dead. A knife in the middle of his chest just like Eun, with the carvings Mr. Unknown on it. And a letter on the middle of his forehead. Yuna picked it up to find that Sunghoon's eyeballs were poked out. Yeesul gaged at the scene. Hyunwoo lifted up the letter and read
The closer you get to the truth,
the more goes your youth"So basically each one of us is going to die soon" Hyunwoo concluded
"We need to buckle up," Yuna said
"We need to get to the end of this before Mr. Unknown ends us" Yeesul stated
"Let's go find Ji Hee's location," Yuna said
"But what are we gonna say about Sunghoon's death?" Yeesul asked
"Suicide" Hyunwoo said
"the stabs don't seem like suicide though," Yeesul said
"Because they aren't" Hyunwoo countered
"And besides, his parents live in Tokyo they won't know" Hyunwoo added
'Whoever this Mr. Unknown is, this guy sure knows how to plan a perfect murder" Yuna sighed
Yeesul and Yuna explained everything that happened yesterday morning along with the clues.
"So this means that there's something related to Seolhee's grave" Hyunwoo predicted
"precisely," Yuna said,
"what will be our next step?" Yeesul asked
"First let's look at all the info we currently have," Hyunwoo said
"For starters, Mr. Unkown knows all of our locations and I speculate that he comes from the door since all the times this had happened the door has always rung. Furthermore, Mr. Unknown leaves a carved knife on the person's chest each time for us to know that it's his doing. Apart from that, we know that Seolhee has an older sister, her location is unknown. Mr. Unknown is not a single person since there were 2 people kidnapping us." Yuna stated
"let's make a potential suspects list," Hyunwoo said
1) Ji Hee
2) Ara
3) Seolhee's spirit"Ji Hee because since she's Seolhee's sister" Hyunwoo said
"But didn't Ara tell us that she hated Seolhee?" Yeesul asked
"She did, but we don't know where the truth lies" Hyunwoo replied
"Why Ara?" Yeesul questioned
"She was an old friend of Seolhee, and I did some background research on her and found out that she excels in every single subject she took. She's a born prodigy and has a manipulative personality overall" Hyunwoo said
"I agree, there's no way a normal person could pull this off," Yuna said
"Now that you said it, Yeesul mind handing me all the letters we received?" Hyunwoo said and Yeesul handed him the letters
"What do you think of this?" Hyunwoo said pointing at the letter
"Morse Code" Yuna and Yeesul said in unison
"Correct" Hyunwoo said
"Maybe this will tell us another clue," Yeesul said
