"Guys we can't go outside because it is raining." Baejin flops done on the ash color couch. He looks over at taerin and hira who stood by the window. Their pleading eyes were so convincing but baejin has had much experience with these two.

"Big brother, I just want Juno around in the rain." Hira looks back at baejin. "I won't catch a cold. I promise."

Baejin sharply exhales. "Tell that to the sniffles you will have if I let you outside."

Hira turned back around. He banged his head on the window. "Not even for five minutes. Besides, those men aren't going to catch a cold and they are outside."

Baejin slowly placed his phone down. "What did you just say?"
Baejin looked at taerin. "Is there anyone out there?"

Taein nodded her head yes. "There are two men. They look sad.."

Baejin rushed over to the window. He grabbed the two. "Go upstairs now." Baejin pushed the two to the stairs.

The blonde couldn't help but to stare at the two men. "Jian?" Baejin grabs his phone out. He pulls up the call log and dials his mother.

"Bae Jin, what is it?"

"Mom, I know this will sound crazy but it's the truth..."

"Baejin I will always believe you. Tell me what's wrong?"

Baejin keeps his eyes on the men. "I see Jian and another man outside the main window."

Taeyong gasps on the other end. "Ok, listen to me carefully. I need you to go lock you and your siblings in a safe room. Did you hear me?"

"Yes." Baejin sprints up the stairs. He checks all of the room to find his cousin and sister. The last door on the very right is where he found both of them sleeping on the floor.

Baejin slowly closed and locked the door. The eldest picked up the two and placed them on the bed. While waiting for his mother or father to return the highschooler hugged the little ones.

"Talk to them, tell them to leave my children alone." Taeyong smacks his hand down on the ghost whisperer's desk. "Please be a parent to a parent."

"You haven't changed a bit." The woman removed the face covering that was over her face. "It was foolish of you to establish that we both have kids. But I like the strength you have."

Taeyong felt like he was going to faint. This woman was the fortune teller that basically summed up his and Jackson's relationship. He never thought he would see this woman again.

"My children...."

"But what about Jackson? You left him. The heroes aren't always the heroes are they?"

"What?" Taeyong's eyes gloss over, "what is that supposed to mean?"

"Think about it." The woman grabs Taeyong's frail hands. "Heroes aren't heroes because they make the villains. You are no hero."

Taeyong falls on the ground. "I'm soon to be a single parent with two children. What am I supposed to do? I'm desperate. I just want my kids to be left alone."

The woman frowns. "You are no hero but you aren't a villain. You are a vigilante right? You cause destruction even though your intentions are good."

Taeyong frowns. "I do and I'm sorry. But my children...."

"The ones you are trying to reach never crossed over here."
