People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can...

"Dad! Dad!" Jeongguk sobbed, extending his arms towards his father, who fell to his knees.
He tried to break free from his mother's embrace, but she only held him tighter to her chest and started running even faster. He could hear her labored breathing and her heart pounding against his own. The woman tried to cover his eyes, but still he saw the hooded man stretch out his hand with a gun aimed at his father's head. He knew he should look away, but something wouldn't let him. However, when he heard the loud bang of the shot, he involuntarily squeezed his eyes shut, and a loud moan of pain escaped his lips. Yoonju did not stop, she ran as fast as her legs could carry, but after a while the bullet also reached her, piercing her body along with the body of her son sticking to her...
Jeongguk suddenly woke up and sat up violently on the bed. He was wearing nothing but the sweatpants he'd gone to bed in less than six hours earlier, but he was drenched in sweat. A tattered sheet bound his legs. He was breathing heavily, gasping for breath as the nightmare he had woken up from slowly came back to him. It was the same nightmare he had had almost every night since he had returned to the world of the living. Only those few nights spent with Taehyung, he was able to sleep normally. In some inexplicable way, his presence calmed him down, soothed him. But now something was pressing painfully against his chest, he could taste his own blood in his mouth, and under his heavy eyelids he could still see the image of his father slumping to the pavement in a deserted Seoul street.
He exhaled loudly, trying to calm down and even out his breathing. These recurring nightmares were not accidental. He had to find out who killed his parents and find the culprit. He was sure that was why he had come back here. It was his job — to find and punish the one who had never been punished.
Yesterday, he stayed at work again, filling in for San, and even offered to close the bar. When he was left alone, he turned on Seokjin's laptop and searched the internet for nearly an hour for any information about the events of twenty years ago. He managed to find several articles that talked about the death of his parents. To his surprise, none described what actually happened that night. The articles reported a possible robbery of a young couple who were heading out of Seoul, most likely to spend a romantic weekend away from the city. Suitcases of clothes were found in their car, so it was assumed they were going on a family trip. He knew the truth was quite different.
His parents tried to escape...
Nor did any of the articles mention that they were not the only victims of this event. He was there too. For some reason, the media did not provide information about a six-year-old boy who first witnessed the murder of his parents, and then also became a victim of the whole incident. He didn't know what caused it. Perhaps the police decided to withhold this information for some reason. It is possible that they did it for the sake of the ongoing investigation, or perhaps it was considered too drastic information to be released to the public.
In addition, he was able to establish that two other crimes with an identical course had occurred within a few days' interval. The police did not see any major planned action in this. It was suspected that the victims were chosen at random, and everything indicated that these murders were merely robbery in nature. The perpetrator or perpetrators cut in the way of the victims, shot them and stole their savings. No links have been established between them. There was no indication that the victims had anything in common. In fact, initially, little was written about the murder of his parents. Apparently, no one was too concerned about the death of an ordinary pediatrician who, together with his wife, a kindergarten teacher, was shot during a robbery. The case gained publicity when it turned out that one of the next victims was a police officer. The officer's murder could not go unnoticed. Despite intensive efforts to apprehend the culprit, the perpetrator could not be identified, and the investigation stalled for many months.
