PSYCHO???

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

I kept looking at the book in my hand as I lay in bed. I didn't know why I was reluctant and nervous to read it. I just had a really bad feeling about this.
 
        I was livid after reading the book. I tossed the book aside and buried my face in my palms. Everything was such a mess. I just wished my dad had left work early that day, so we wouldn't have been roped into all of this bullshit.

         There was just something about Taemin's Uncle that seemed off. The first day I met him, he sounded really familiar and there was just something off about him. What I just read only made my suspicions increase. I'm probably just overthinking but.....you never know.
.....

Taemin and I stood before the house and just stared at it. The house was secluded from the others and small. There were a couple of houses around but other than that, there was nothing else. We opened the door and walked into the house.

         It looked a mess. Furniture were scattered across the room and there were some stains that looked like dried blood splatters on the floor and walls.

           " Those people must have raided this place "

            " Yeah.....I don't think we'll find anything here "

Taemin said and walked into of the rooms. I looked through the shelves and cabinets but couldn't find anything.

             " Eunsoo!!!! Come here "

I rushed over to the room where Taemin's voice came from, thinking he was in danger. I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw him in the room, just looking around.

              " What's wrong "

             " Show me that picture Hyejin sent you "

             " The lake and pudding? "

              " Yeah.....hurry "

I pulled out my phone and showed him the pictures.  He took my phone and walked over to a picture that was lying on the table.

         " The lake in this picture is the same as the one in your phone "

         " Yeah....who  are the people in the picture? "

         " This one looks like Shin Mirae?"

           " You're right.....I think it's her "

             " Who is the other one?"

            " I don't know. The face is all scratched out. There was nothing about any of Shin Mirae's children surviving right?"

             " They both died with their father "

             " Eunsoo show me another picture of Shin Mirae. I need to confirm something.....hurry "

             " Okay. Uhmm here"

He grabbed the phone and stared at it while pacing around the room.

             " I remember now "

            " What do you remember Taemin?"

            " My dad took my mum and I on this vacation when I was like eight or seven. He took us to some kind of village and I remember going to this lake with him. A bunch of people came over to the house we stayed at and I think Shin Mirae and the other people in the journal were there including my Uncle "

             " Oh...do you remember anything else?"

             " No. Nothing else. Moon Hyejin must be hiding out somewhere in that village. I don't remember the name but I can ask mum"
