1.0

I'm back at the hospital. I don't think they'll let me out anymore.

"Yang Jukyeon, you have a visitor." The officer said as they let in Jay. I didn't want to look him in the eyes. His left hand had been wrapped and he had a bruised cheek. Why would Harin do that to him?

"Can you guys wait outside while we talk?" He asked them and they left. "How are you?"

"How's Jungwon and Riki?"

"They're fine. The doctor said that they might wake up today."

"What about everyone else?"

"We all got medical attention so we're fine."

"That's good."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry."

"Don’t apologize Jukyeon. I know it was Harin." This had me shocked. No one knows I can see Harin other than my Auntie.

"H-how?"

"For starters, she yelled at me. When Niki was stabbed, you came back crying as you noticed what she did. Finally, you're not acting the way you were 4 days ago." He really analyzes things. "So I'm guessing Harin is a demon or something?"

"It's more complicated than that."

"I see. Well you can tell me on  the ride back to Seoul."

"W-what?!"

"You heard me. I signed you release forms. Let's go." He grabbed my hand and took me out of that place. Thank you so much Jay.

"Does Jungwon know that you're mom had twins?" He asked after I told him everything about Harin. Surprisingly, she wasn't around today. She wasn't with me the past few days either.

"I don't know."

"Tell me about your gift. Can you only see Harin or can you see other spirits?"

"At first,  I thought was crazy and hallucinating everything. I thought I had a split personality, but it turns out I'm like Auntie Jing. I used to only see Harin and these horrible monsters, but now I see my parents. I know it's not them though."

"They can be demons of some sort trying to make you do bad things. Do you know why Harin wanted to kill Jungwon?"

"No. She's been asking me to do this ever since she killed our parents.  She would leave and come back at times saying that we had to finish the job." We had arrived at the hospital and he parked the car. He took out a recorder and stopped it.

"Let's just hope Jungwon believes all this because I do. If you're lying to me I will send you back,  Jukyeon. Got that?" I nod and we get out the car. Sunoo shows up at the parking lot while panting.

"They're awake." He said as he caught his breath.  He hands me a bag with clothes and leads me to the restroom. "You can't go see your brother and boyfriend with that." He said referring to my bloodstained clothes.

I came out of the restroom and they lead me to the room. Just from the outside, you can hear how loud they were. I heard laugh. I'm happy that they're ok. I should go before anything bad happens.

I turn around so that I can go, but Sunoo stops me. "You are going to go in there and they will believe you. I promise." He said and we went in. It became quiet.

There they were both boys on the hospital beds, side by side.

"What were you thinking bringing her here?" Heeseung asked Jay in anger. I don't blame him.

"I have my reasons. Jungwon, Riki, you have to listen to this. Jukyeon is innocent." He said showing the recorder. Sunghoon snatched it away and threw it across the room. Luckily, it didn't break. I picked it up and walked over to Jungwon and Riki. I was in between both of their beds and tried to give the recorder to Jungwon first, but he refused.

"Please listen."

"To what? You lying?"

"I swear I didn't want to hurt any of you!"

"But yet here they are in the hospital!" Sunghoon yelled at me.

"I'm not going to hear it,  so leave." I turned to Riki and he turned away aswell. I was frustrated. The guys wouldn't let me tell my side of the story and the two people who I want to believe me refuse to at least hear a bit of it.

"Are you serious Riki?!" No response. "What do you guys want me to do in order for you to believe me?!"

"End it, just like you did to our parents! The same way you tried to kill us!" Jungwon said.

"Hey! That's to harsh. We're talking about your little sister." Jake said.

"As far as I know she's nothing more than a murderer, right Niki?"

"Riki?" Please don't say it. Does he think that lowly of me?

"I- yeah."

"Fine. If that's what you guys want." I said trying to hold in my tears. "I hope you don't make up your mind when it's too late. I'll give 2 days. I'll be at the building we used to live with our parents, roof top. If you don't  come, I'll think of this as your final goodbye."

I told them and rushed out of there after putting the recorder in a drawer that is in between the both of them.

Now that I think about it, I don't blame them. I wouldn't believe me either.

Right now, it's 7 pm and I'm on the last bus of the night going to Gwanak-gu. Jay had given me his credit card and Sunoo gave me his bus card. They didn't like my plan, but I know that they have to listen to the tape if they know my life is at stake here, right?

I get out of the bus and walk towards our building. The landlord had remembered me. He told me that should have not came back and that no one wanted the room since a murder was taken place there. He gave me the key and I went on my way.

Finally reaching apartment number 61 I opened it and everything was covered in drapes. After locking the door, I take them all off and start sweeping up the place. The water and electricity still work here. Since I had bought food earlier, I ate it as I sat on my parents bed flipping thought the picture album. Mom used to show us this ablum so much when we were little. After that I looked around their room and found another album. It was all dusty and I don't remember ever seeing this album.

When I opened it, I couldn't believe what I had seen. It was pictures of Harin and I when we were born. Both of us, side by side. It had both of our hospital bracelets, our birth certificates and her death certificate.

'Pronounced dead on: December 14th, 2005'
'Cause of death: Heart Failure'

"Sad isn't it?" Harin said as she stood on the door frame. "You know, I didn't know that I died until I we were 7. I always thought you were the favorite and that they neglected me, but turns out I was wrong. I never left your side Jukyeon."

"Can you tell me everything from the start?" My eyes were teary and she sat next to me.

"If you thats your death wish." She said and I nodded. I wanted to know the truth before I died. I'll die fine knowing that.
